[Europe Bonus Track]

[Music: M. Weikath, A. Deris, M. Grosskopf, S. Gerstner, D. Loble / Lyrics: A. Deris]

[Lector (in howling wind):]
Forgotten in his reich of shadows
Banned forever
One thought
The lord of the evil
Was given name and place of the seventh see
Shelter of the seventh key
Who was betraitous (the traitous) ?
I guess You know
There would be more than one name to name
Now he whose name is many searches for the one
The one strong enough to survive
As his terrestial hand
Enticement and promise will crown the king
A puppet on a string
For a thousand years
So they sing
Wouldn't it be nice to plunder with your eyes
Whatever there's for you to see
Is yours to be
Let me be there
Just tell me You don't care
Just say You came here after knife (?)
However high the price
I know your secrets
I know it all
I know your secrets
I see them hidden with our light
I'm your sickness
Hiding You right behind your lies
Don't try to kill me
I cannot die I guess You know
You and I will be
Heaven above and hell below

[Harsh voice:] Brother
[Women's choir:] Release me
[Harsh voice:] Father
[Women's choir:] Won't see me
[Harsh voice:] Brother
[Women's choir:] Believe me, perceive me

[Andi (1):]
Time will be a turning wheel
Whichever we're torn (?)
Time will be a toy
Time we will enjoy
Say You want to live forever
Mindless one day
Say You will obey
And I

[Band as choir (1):]
I will show
I will show
I will show no light of dawn(?)
And I will show
I will show
I will show no fright at all(?)
Wouldn't it be nice to ride until you sigh
Whatever there's attracting You

[Harsh voice:] We'll give this turn to you
Let me be there
Just say You want to share
The power noone will withstand
Just be my human hand
I know your secrets
I know it all

[Band as choir (1)]

[Solo 1]

[Women's choir (1):]
Don't release us now he sees us
No illusions, executions
The damnation, the annihilation
The non-stopping celebration
Don't release us now he sees us
No illusions,
Executions!

[Andi & harsh voice (1):]
We're a king for a thousand years
We are a king of million tears
We're the ones who bring desire by the greed and fears
We're a king of fallen men
We're a king... of the damn
Thru the hoping to obsession
We're the king
We're the king for a thousand years
Angels of fire
Ain't enough darkness fear and hate
Wake up my preachers
Stand up You're greater (of the sate?)
Noone can kill us
We cannot die I guess one knows
Mankind is sleeping
My victim You'll be buried so close
I know your secrets
I know it all

[Solo 2]

[Men's choir:] Goodbye sorrows

Follow me You have to turn the key

[Mixed choir:]
Release me
Believe me

[Men's choir:]
Goodbye sorrows
Goodbye sorrows

Follow me You have to turn the key

[Mixed choir:] Conceive me

[Andi (1)]

[Band as choir (1)]

[Andi & harsh voice (1)]

We're a king for a thousand years
