KAMELOT – Wings Of Despair

Sometimes my visions
Are distant and vague
Down at the base
Of the mountain
Once in a while I am
Weak and afraid
Tired and sick of it all
I don’t believe
That my story is set
Nothing is destined
Or blatant
Bound to this body
A world full of hate
No one will heed if I fall

No one can see it
But you know that it’s there
Guiding the steps of your soul
Holding the truth
In the cross that you bear
Die with a heart that is bold

Fly on the wings of despair
No one is holding you back
The call of the wild is internal
Conquer the silence you fear
Tomorrow will not fade to black
A new day is dawning
Remember
No one can save you today

The questions are more
Than the answers I know
That doesn’t mean you are lonely
Searching for more
Consecutive goal’s
Making it worth to go on

No one can see it
But you know that it’s there
Guiding the steps of your soul
Holding the truth
In the cross that you bear
Die with a heart that is bold

Fly on the wings of despair
No one is holding you back
The call of the wild is internal
Conquer the silence you fear
Tomorrow will not fade to black
A new day is dawning
Remember
No one can save you today

You, and you alone
Is forging the path
Leave your sorrows with the past

Never believe
That the story is set
Nothing is destined
Or blatant
Bound to this body
A world full of hate
No one will heed if you fall

KAMELOT – Where The Wild Roses Grow

[Chorus:]
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name is Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
So my name is Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the color of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

[Chorus:]
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name is Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name is Elisa Day

On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I’d seen
I said, “Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?”

On the second day he came with a single red rose
He said: “Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?”
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
“If I show you the roses will you follow?”

[Chorus:]
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name is Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name is Elisa Day

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he stood above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
She laid on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, “All beauty must die”
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

[Chorus:]
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

KAMELOT – Where I Reign

Spinning twisting in my hand
I hold the key to this wasteland
I’ve been searching it for you
Don’t try to run
Don’t hide away
There is no hope you can’t escape
I see your smile fade away
Your bright blue sky has turned to gray
Tonight
Unlock the door
Close your eyes
I’ll set you free
Here, in this spiralling darkness
Where my pleasure is your pain
Fear wraps it’s arms around you
Here: is where I reign
It feels so good
This feels so right
That you should be my sacrifice
Don’t try to run
Don’t hide away
There is no hope you can’t be saved
Here, in this spiralling darkness
Where my pleasure is your pain
Fear wraps it’s arms around you

KAMELOT – When The Lights Are Down

Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny
I’ve come to soak my sorrow in halo black
As black as the seal on my soul

Cause when the lights are down
There’s no more to say
Love is the real pain
An internal revolution in our minds
And when the lights are down
You’re so far away
Tell me your real name
In the silence of the darkness we unite

(Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny)
What can protect me from the past
And all the things that I have done
She told me and then she was gone

But when the lights are down
There’s no more to say
Deep in the shadows
Where the last of my delusions made a stand
Cause when the lights are down
She’ll take me away
Tell me her real name
And in death we’ll live the love we never had

Come all ye faithful beneath the moon
Into the void as one
Marching on

KAMELOT – We Are Not Seperate

Launch the silver spear
The world will cry a tear
In the heavens will appear
Another angel
Hear the elders cry
Waiting for their time
As they look towards the heavens
Why won’t they answer?

We are playing with nature
Splitting the atom
Confusing religions
Killing the masses
We are not separate
From what we destroy
Time has com for us
To make the only choice

We are not separate
From what we destroy
Time has come for us
To make the only choice

We rape for our power
Not caring for life
We tarnish our waters
‘Til they are as black as night

We visualize the future
With the eyes of the blind
We hear nature calling
But we still deny

We are not separate
From what we destroy
Time has come for us
To make the only choice

KAMELOT – We Are Not Separate

Launch the silver spear
The world will cry a tear
In the heavens will appear another angel
Hear the elders cry
Waiting for their time
As they look towards the heavens
Why won’t they answer?
We are playing with nature
Splitting the atom
Confusing religions
Killing the masses
We are not separate from what we destroy
Time has come for us to make the only choice
We are not separate from what we destroy
Time has come for us to make the only choice
We rape for our power
Not caring for life
We tarnish our waters
‘Til they are as black as night
We visualize the future
With the eyes of the blind
We hear nature calling
But we still deny
We are not separate from what we destroy
Time has come for us to make the only choice

KAMELOT – Warbird

Taking time out to create
His own war
It an aerial assault
It’s the war of the bird
Strapped to his forearm
Awaiting flight,
He’s blind as the night
Set his mask free
Piercing eyes point towards the sea

A waiting white gull
So swift in flight
Flowing like the sea
Shadowed by his wing spread
As the bird takes to flight
He is bound in ecstacy

As the claws sink in deep
He hears the bird start to scream
As his life is taken from him
Another trophy retrieved

Warbird Champion your King
Warriors on wings
Warbird Champion your King
Warriors on wings

Sheltered eyes hide the deep blue sky
Shackles hold the arching wings
Until tomorrow imprisoned
For tomorrow he will be free

Taking time out to create
His own war
It an aerial assault
It’s the war of the bird
Strapped to his forearm
Awaiting flight
He’s blind as the night
Set his mask free
Piercing eyes point
Towards the sea

KAMELOT – Wander

I recall one summer’s night
Within the month of June
Flowers in mahogany hair
And smell of earth in bloom
Only such a melody
Comes without a sound
More than faintly heard by those
Who know what they have found
Now it’s just a memory

Silently we wander
Into this void of consequence
My shade will always haunt her
But she will be my guiding light

Silently we wander
In search of truth and confidence
So many hopes were lost here
Along the way
From morning to night

Meet me by the wishing well
In cover of the moon
Whisper to me tenderly
That I will see you soon
Sing that song from long ago
So I remember you
Flowers in mahogany hair
And mellow days in June
Only for the memory

Silently we wander
Into this void of consequence
My shade will always haunt her
But she will be my guiding light

Silently we wander
In search of truth and confidence
So many hopes were lost here
Along the way
From morning to night

From ashes we were born
In silence we unite

KAMELOT – Until Kingdom Come

In the black of the night she appears
I can see that she’s trying
To relocate the source of my fears
I’ve been searching her high and low

In this dream she will show me the door
To a new revelation
And I know that I’ve seen her before
That she’ll bring me salvation

I remember when she was still alive
Always there by my side
Every day is a fight to survive
Every minute a shattered memory

Like the sun shining down on me
Like the breeze on the ocean
You’re the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come

When I watch from the tower at night
Into fading horizons
I can see her shade in the twilight
Dressed in silver she’s dancing

I recall as if it was today
Always there by my side
You are reason, and relief to my pain
And one day we will reunite

Like the sun shining down on me
Like the breeze on the ocean
You’re the path of my destiny
I know you will follow me until Kingdom Come
Like the sun shining down on me
Like the breeze on the ocean
You’re the path of my destiny
I’ll follow my heart until Kingdom Come

KAMELOT – This Pain

Pushing for the limit of sanity
Pushing for the surface
…so I can breathe
Dark is the night for us all, but some days
I feel the light crawling down from these jagged walls
Blessed sunlight

Some of this pain is sole subjected
But what was I to do
Some of this pain will always stay
Deep and true

I left her with a warning… without protection
‘Cause the human nature has its ways with lust
With her back against the wall she crumbled
Just a minute more would have saved her life
And even so… part of me
Blessed sunlight

Some of this pain is sole subjected
But what was I to do
Some of this pain will always stay
Deep and true

I see her shame in my desire
It all took place too soon
Some of these wounds will always bleed
Over you

KAMELOT – The Spell

Where has all the magic gone
Lost behind or lost along
A victim of the pulse of our society
Don’t you miss the ancient times
The riddles and the subtle signs
A relative perspective on reality
I get stronger in the splendor
Of a lucid moon
Only creatures of the night

All my demons cast a spell
The souls of dusk rising from the ashes
So the book of shadows tell
The weak will always obey the master

Heading for the dragons lair
Another time and a different sphere
I leave the nothingness behind
And when the sense of logic yields
I’ll escape the outer shields
Into the universal mind

I get stronger in the splendor
Of a lucid moon
Only creatures of the night
Can heal my wounds

KAMELOT – The Mourning After (Carry On)

I just had a dream
She was by the riverside
Alone and dressed in white
Paling in the cold
Walking on the icy face
On memories of glory days

Carry on
Carry on
Meet me on the other side
Once the mourning after turns to day

Carry on
Carry on
Keep on to the other side
The mourning after slowly fades

How could I have known
Just the thought is simply wild
In her womb…a little child
I am left to roam
On the surface of a dream
In a world that can’t be seen

Carry on
Carry on
Just you carry on
Till the mourning is over

Carry on
Carry on
Just you carry on
Till the mourning after leaves

KAMELOT – The Human Stain

See the cemetery sky
Carmine red and deep
Watch the oceans rising high
It’s the human stain

Talk about the growing hunger
Ask why with deep concerned
Don’t you think the human races
Is ceaselessly vain

[Chorus:]
But it hurts to be
Alive my friend
In this silent tide
We’re driftwood passing by

Don’t you wish you
Were a child again
Just for a minute
Just for a minute more

Hear the ticking of a clock
The sound of life itself
No one really wants to die
To save the world

Tell me that you’re torn asunder
From how we fail to learn
And tell me if the Earth goes under
Where’s your anger now

[Chorus:]
So it hurts to
Be alive, my friend
In this masquerade where
All one day must die

Don’t you wish you
Were unborn again
Just for a minute
Just for a minute more

[Solo]

Tic-Toc
The ticking at the tear asunder
The beating from a heart of stone
The loss of your divine prosperity

[Chorus:]
‘Cause it costs to
Be alive, my friend
And this life that someone
Merely gave to you

That’s the price you take
Minute by minute
You beg for a minute more

KAMELOT feat. Simone Simons from EPICA – The Haunting (Somewhere In Time)

Merely the sound of your voice
Made me believe that
that you were her
Just like the river disturbs
…my inner peace
Once I believed I could find
Just a trace of her beloved soul
Once I believed she was all
Then she smothered my beliefs

One cold winter’s night
I may follow her voice to the river
Leave me for now and forever
Leave while you can

[Chorus:]
Somewhere in time
I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time
When no virtues are left to defend
You fall in deep

[Post chorus:]
I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves
It comes to an end
And quietly I’ll go to sleep

How could that first time recur
When memories linger on and on
What made me think you were her
Helena is dead to all
dead to all
Nothing can bring her to life
Don’t pretend that I’ll be loving you
Once I believed she was gone
I’m corrupted from within
Leave me for now and forever
Leave while you can

[Chorus]

[Post chorus]

[Ariel]
Follow me into the light
Leave me tonight
I’ve gone too far to begin all anew
With someone like you

[Marguerite]
Like ice on a lake of tears
I’ll take you through
Life fades in anew
With someone like you

[Chorus]

[Post chorus]

KAMELOT – The Fourth Legacy

Settle for the journey
Sail across the seven seas
Carried by the spirit of the brave
Join the New Allegiance now
And pledge your sacred heart
A history that no one can forsake

Flying like an eagle from oblivion
Guided by the rising morning star

You will find the New Allegiance

To another promised land
Don’t forget the ones you left behind

Flying like an eagle from oblivion
Rising in the mirror of the sky

A fire to be seen
In following The Fourth Legacy

There’s glory in the distance
For the one’s that pay the price
Ignorance creates a subtle mind

Keep the fighting spirit
Never close your eyes
Don’t forget the ones you left behind

Flying like an eagle from oblivion
Rising in the mirror of the sky

You will find the New Allegiance
Like a beacon in the night
If you’re searching for salvation
Reach inside
There’s a new world approaching
A fire to be seen
In following The Fourth Legacy

KAMELOT – The Edge Of Paradise

Sleepless…
Not really quite awake
Where the soul conforms
To deeper needs
Free within frames of custody
I revolve my spirit and exhale

On the edge of paradise
Poison burning
In my veins
Unavailing…compromised
My dreams remain the same

Soothing but yet so violent
In this world within the other world
Moonlight…in visions…heaven sent
I see demon eyes and wings unfurled

On the edge of paradise
Poison burning
In my veins
Unavailing…compromised
My dreams remain the same

On the edge of paradise
Powerless
I sail on by
Undermining life itself
My will to wonder why

KAMELOT – The Black Halo

Come wind come snow come winter land
I have resigned myself to death
Come will to show the heathen hand
So I can draw my final breath

You could take me higher
So you said I trusted you
I may be a liar
But betrayal lies on you

I could feel where the journey ends
Final cough of a last defense

Darkness come tonight
I have no fear of what you hold
Darkness come alive
You are the stories I’ve been told

I possess a power
Of survival in the cold
Life is like a flower
As it stumbles out of fold

We all know when the time has come
This is where I will linger on

Darkness come tonight
I have no fear of what you hold
Darkness come alive
You are the stories I’ve been told

Darkness come tonight
Nothing can take my faith away
Darkness come alive
Life turns to black from silver gray

Darkness come tonight
I have no fear of what you hold
Darkness come alive
You are the stories I’ve been told

Darkness come tonight
Nothing can take my faith away
Darkness come alive
Life turns to black from silver gray

KAMELOT – Silent Goddess

I rest my eyes
On the open field
A silver line
To heavens gate
My mind is blank
It’s a state I know
A sacred place
Where all I see is hate

I raise my head
To retain my wrath
The savage force
That lives inside of me
Foe to foe
One will die and one will be

And I pray she holds my soul
Can you hear me calling?

Silent goddess won’t you
Conduct my fear away
Silent goddess won’t you be
Closer when I hate

The battle cries
And the sound of steel
Another quest
For holy land
Some true belief
In each open wound
In Luna’s light the lonely victor stands
And I pray she holds my soul
Can you hear me calling?

Silent goddess won’t you
Conduct my fear away
Silent goddess won’t you be
Closer when I hate
Silent goddess will you
Forever be the same
Silent goddess can you
Feel this heart pulsate

You know that I die for belief
I swear by the sword in my hand
The sum of the pain and the grief
Is nothing compared to the
Wealth I obtain
And the spirit of god can expand

KAMELOT – Silence Of The Darkness

I don’t dare to take it slowly,
Cause time may pass me by.
Restless like a newborn morning,
I am hard to satisfy.
Will you take me away?

In the silence of the darkness,
I can’t pretend I’m wide awake,
Afraid I could go under.
In the silence of the darkness,
I stumble for the light of day,
But the journey never ends.

I can paint the world with flowers,
grown by heaven’s gate.
and reckless like the stormy ocean,
I could cover them with hate.
But it all sounds the same.

In the silence of the darkness,
I can’t pretend I’m wide awake,
Afraid I could go under.
In the silence of the darkness,
I stumble for the light of day,
But the journey never ends.

In the silence of the darkness,
I can’t pretend I’m wide awake,
Afraid I could go under.
In the silence of the darkness,
I stumble for the light of day,
But the journey never ends.

KAMELOT – Shadow Of Uther

Due to the legend
A new king will come
Rise in the morning horizon
Brave and believing
For wars to be won
Born with the heart of a lion
He will fight for a country unite
Till the last drop of blood confines the oath
Till all will respect him wherever he roams

Deep in the woods
He can hear she’s alive
Lost in the dark
Of a dragons lament
Searching the highlands
In trying to find
Trace of Morgana
The Princess of Hate

He will be holding
The sword in the stone
Knights of the kingdom will join him
Bring back the honor
Of Pendragons name
From where the cauldron is boiling

But the shadow of Uther restrains
All the efforts to reunite the realm
A witch of his own blood from heaven expelled

Deep in the woods
There are prints in the sand
Leading towards
Where the angels repent
King of the ocean
King of the land
Nothing can save him
From Merlin’s consent

Coming of storms
Battles of war
Knights of thunder are fearless
Thus goes the legend
The tale I was told
Now we await his appearance
But the shadow of Uther remains
There is no way the king can break the oath
The shadow will follow wherever he roams
