Quest 05:13
Quest Lyrics. Sun rise, sun rise. Twilight, now twilight. Paths unwinding, how far will I go? Time unyielding, onward ‘till I know. (x4) Time to go. Setting sail. Guided by the stars at night. Quest begun. Choice is done. A new life to call my own. Losing sleep. Never ends. It goes on and on and on. Break of day. Light my way. It goes on and on and on. Sun rise, sun rise. Twilight, now twilight. Paths unwinding, how far will I go? Time unyielding, onward ‘till I know. (x2) On my way. My journey. Sun rising. Evolving, new and free. Losing sleep. Never ends. It goes on and on and on. Break of day. Light my way. Yes, it goes on and on and on. Yes, it goes on and on and on. Sun rise, sun rise. Twilight, now twilight. Paths unwinding, how far will I go? Time unyielding, onward ‘till I know. (x2) Sun rise, sun rise. Twilight, now twilight.

Another life, another day. Ohh. Imagination just starts to play. Ohh. Ohh Oh. Feeling so low, rejuvenation. I’m movin’ up. Sensing it’s time for my salvation, Am powered up. It’s true. All new. I feel alive. It’s true. All’s right. I’m burning bright. Another life, a brand new day. Ohh. Feeling so high on transformation, Am powered up. It’s true. All new. I feel alive. It’s true. All’s right. I’m burning bright. A prophecy has come my way. Ohh. Your sorcery leads me today. Ohh. Today. It’s true. All new. I feel alive. It’s true. All’s right. I’m burning bright. In rays of light I’m living. Ready for the fight, I’m giving. All my powers that be. I’m free. Another life, a brand new day. Another day. Imagination just starts to play. Imagination. It’s true. All new. I feel alive. It’s true. All’s right. I’m burning bright.

Love Story 04:51
Long, long time ago. Lived a lonely soldier boy. Soldier boy on his own. Travelled, very far. All to claim an iron throne. All alone. Oh oh oh oh oh. Long, long time ago. Was a fair maiden. Fairest in the kingdom. Far, far, kept away. In the darkest tower. On her own. Oh oh oh oh. Then one day, Just ran away. Fled into the night. Skin pale as moonlight, moonlight. Then one day. Passed a soldier’s way. It was love, on sight. In the broad daylight, daylight. Bird songs, brighter day. Lived a happy soldier boy. Soldier boy on his thrown. Then he heard her say. That she had to go away. Curse she’d say. Oh oh oh oh. Then one day. Just ran away. Fled into the night. Skin pale as moonlight, moonlight. Then one day. Passed a soldier’s way. It was love, on sight. In the broad daylight, daylight. Bridge: Underneath the darkest tower. That our soldier stood that day. No fear, his darkest hour, when the The undead come out to play. And at last, was our fair maid, In a frozen wall of time. Just kiss to tear the spell away. Just a kiss and the curses will fade. —— Bird songs, brighter day. Lived a happy soldier boy. Soldier boy on his thrown. Then he, heard her say. That she has to go away. Curse she’d say. Oh oh oh oh. Then one day. Just ran away. Fled into the night. Skin pale as moonlight, moonlight. Then one day. Passed a soldier’s way. It was love, on sight. In the broad daylight, daylight. Then one day. Passed a soldier’s way. It was love, on sight. In the broad daylight, daylight.

Destinies 04:29
I cannot explain. The place of where I am. I cannot remain. It is my destiny. Dragon which I’ve slain. A sword of evil’s bane. Through the wind and rain, Bring out the best in me. Now and forever. Immortal roles. Our great endeavor. The strongest soul. Now or never. Immortal goals, oh. Our greatest treasure. The honest soul. Now and forever. Journeys untold. You won’t remember. The years of old. Now and forever. Our greatest treasure. —— I cannot explain. The place of where I am. I cannot remain. It is my destiny. Dragon which I’ve slain. A sword of evil’s bane.

Fable 04:46
Swords ’n’ Shields. Myths ’n’ monsters. Fables old as time. Battles won. Wars were Lost. Stories from long ago. Tales of light. Tales of darkness. All just fantasy. Castles ’n’ kings. Heroes ’n’ queens. They say apparently. Heroes lost to time. Still guiding to wrong or right. Fighting for the truth, Lets us sleep at night. Living in our dreams. Which legend do you choose to be? Heroes lost to time. Still guiding to wrong or right. Fighting, for the truth, Lets us sleep at night. Living in our dreams. Which legend do you choose to be? Fighting for freedom. Life we’ve chosen. Chasing the stars. Fighting for freedom. We’ve been chosen. Forever leading the charge. Heroes lost to time. Still guiding to wrong or right. Fighting for the truth, Lets us sleep at night. Living in our dreams. Which legend do you choose to be?

Avenger 04:31
Battered by life, Words used to cut like a knife. Was stuck in your pain, Now there's no need to explain. You can't hold me down. Your idle threats don't work now. Fear it in my eyes, For I am rising up, rising up, rising to take what's mine. Fear of your voice, Held in the dark with no choice. Found strength of my own, Leaving you toxic, alone. You can't hold me down. Your idle threats don't work now. Fear it in my eyes, For I am rising up, rising up, rising to take what's mine. It’s gone on too long, Your misguided spell on me. Taking to the night, Running, changing, you won’t push back, I’ll win this fight. You can't hold me down. Your idle threats don't work now. Fear it in my eyes, For I am rising up, rising up, rising to take what's mine.

Arcane Life 03:32
Life is so arcane. Roller coaster y’know. It’s just performing in one big show. Matters, just the same. Can’t we all get along? We can just be friends. When you’re feelin’ just a little low, Just remember there’s someone who cares. I do. It’s true. Lookin’ out, For you. Then you’ll feel just a bit better, for good. Life’s full of regret. It get better, y’know. We can just turn around and go. Come with me. Place your hand in mine. Ride this storm. You and I, this time. When you’re feelin’ just a little low, Just remember there’s someone who cares. I do. It’s true. Lookin’ out, For you. Then you’ll feel just a bit better, for good. When you’re feelin’ just a little low, Just remember there’s someone who cares. I do. It’s true. Lookin’ out, For you. Then you’ll feel just a bit better, for good.
