1. Livin' Without Fear

The sign has fallen from the sky
This is the revelation
The time has come for us to fly
Exceed all expectation
He has been born into this world
A man like none before
He shows the sign of peace and
Marches off to war

Don't fear the reaper
He is the chosen one and oh
Who knows what he can do
Don't fear the demon
He comes in many shapes and now
He comes for all of you

Hangman, bathing in his victory
Insane man for all of us to see
Madman, turning from reality
He's livin' without fear
Can't you see

He fooled us all with his disguise
He showed his true allegiance
You've best start running for your lives
Or be forced into obedience

Don't fear the trooper
He's but a messenger, yet oh
Who knows what he might do
Don't fear the preacher
He thinks he's found the path, but no
He doesn't have a clue

Hangman, bathing in his victory
Insane man for all of us to see
Madman, livin' out his fantasy
Still livin' without fear

Don't fear the lady with the scales
She has been blindfolded, yet oh
Who knows what she can see
And don't fear your judgment, hah
I'll make it quick for you as long
As you're afraid of me

Hangman, bathing in his victory
Insane man for all of us to see
Madman, turns back into reality
He's livin' without fear

'Cause he's the
Hangman, bathing in his victory
Insane man for all of us to see
Madman, starts to find his destiny
He's livin' without fear

2. Blade Of Katana

Ripe is the hour
We've come out of foul constellations
Suffered the illness
Worn by apathy, torn by frustration
Come out, come out, wherever you are
The bell of redemption is tolling
If you want to live, steer clear of our path
The slow-mover's head will be rolling

Watch out, you purblind
Woe to you keepers
We'll cry out

Samurai, the shadow's revived
As daylight retires, we prepare to ignite
At sundown, you will see no fear in our eyes
The blade of Katana strikes, tonight

So, swains of conformity
Disciples of expired authorities
Pray that we'll never meet
From London to Tokyo, armed to the teeth

Watch out for the iron sign
Woe to you lackeys
We'll cry out

Samurai, the shadow's revived
As daylight retires, we prepare to ignite
At showdown, you will see your death in our eyes
The blade of katana strikes, tonight

Samurai, the shadow's revived
As daylight retires, we prepare to ignite
At sundown, you will fear the death in our eyes
The blade of Katana strikes
Samurai, the demon's alive
The blade of Katana strikes, tonight

3. Phoenix On Fire

I made my choices long ago
I found the path I was destined to go
I'm not giving up 'til I'm number one
Gonna light the fuse, then the job will be done
I'm not asking for permission
And I don't need your signed consent
I'm not saying you should follow where I go
I just wanted you to know

When I get that feeling inside
It's taking me higher
I live to be born again
Like a phoenix on fire
I don't give a shit in this world
About what's right and what's wrong
All I know is on that stage
Is where I belong

Set the world on fire, transcend ever higher

Now, you may think I am out of my mind
A word of wisdom for all mankind
You'll never know where you'll be when it ends
Born out of fire, I'll go down in flames
I'm not asking for permission
And I don't need your signed consent
I'm not saying you should follow where I go
I just wanted you to know

When I get that feeling inside
It's taking me higher
I live to be born again
Like a phoenix on fire
I don't give a shit in this world
About what's right and what's wrong
All I know is on that stage
Is where I belong

Set the stage on fire

When I get that feeling inside
It's taking me higher
I live to be born again
Like a phoenix on fire
I don't give a shit in this world
About what's right and what's wrong
All I know is on that stage
Is where I belong

Panic and fear in their eyes
Flames rising higher
Nobody knows what to do
The man is on fire
Running in circles and shouting
As somebody dies
My work is done here, I'm leaving
A saint in disguise

A phoenix on fire

4. Neverending World

The world is always on the move
It is in constant motion
It will always seek improvement
With a fierce devotion
From the smallest of the small
To the greatest of the great
The world goes far beyond it all
Because that is its fate
Reach out with your senses
And stare into infinity
Know that this place is ever present

It's a neverending world
It goes on and on and on
It's a neverending world
When the life we know is gone
It will still go on and on
It's a neverending world

Now, if you stop to think it over
For a single minute
You'll see that anything will go
And that the sky's the limit
So don't just stand there like a fool
And be constrained by laws of old
'Cause it's you who sets the rules
The world is yours to mold
It's there, within your grasp
Come on and seize it here and now
Sail away to the horizon

It's a neverending world
It goes on and on and on
It's a neverending world
When the life we know is gone
It will still go on and on
It's a neverending world

When you reach the horizon
Another will appear at the edge of the world
So follow your vision
And march on towards eternity

It's a neverending world
It goes on and on and on
It's a neverending world
When the life we know is gone
It will still go on and on
It's a neverending world

5. Heart Of Tokyo

Coming from the west, searching the east
Looking for love, a new life to lead
I've got a hunger for lust, I'm a child of the light
I've fought Hell just to enter Heaven tonight
Lonely on the road, searching this town
In a faraway land where the sun goes down
Like ecstasy, it's haunting me
Hear I am

I will find my soul
In the heart of Tokyo
Live the dream and live my life
I will find my love
In the heart of Tokyo
Come on, baby, I'm coming alive

Shadows come alive crawl into the light
Out of the pit where my sweet love lies
Battering hearts, the dream is real
Screaming voices fill the air
Lonely on the road, roaming the town
In a faraway land where the show goes down
Hell unleashed rocks far east
Here I am

I will find my soul
In the heart of Tokyo
Live the dream and live my life
I will find my love
In the heart of Tokyo
Come on, baby, I'm coming alive

I will find my soul
In the heart of Tokyo
Live the dream and live my life
I will find my love
In the heart of Tokyo
Come on, baby, I'm coming alive

6. Asia In Sight

Is it an illusion or is that our nation
I can see the light
We've got Asia in sight
Here, we've got the action, feel the satisfaction
The hour is drawing nigh
We've got Asia in sight

We set sail on the first day
Three ships of royal might
We fought the ocean long and hard
We fought it day and night
The Kraken whipped and foam splashed high
And lightning cracked the sky
But we endured, we have survived
We didn't come here to die

Is it an illusion or is that our nation
I can see the light
We've got Asia in sight
Here, we've got the action, feel the satisfaction
The hour is drawing nigh
We've got Asia in sight

We arrived on San Salvador
October '92
So many people had doubted us
But now we know it's true
We are here to redraw the map
To write some history
We'll be remembered for all of time
For all eternity

Is it an illusion or is that our nation
I can see the light
We've got Asia in sight
Here, we've got the action, feel the satisfaction
The hour is drawing nigh
We've got Asia in sight

I can see the light
Asia in sight

7. Across The Stars

Do not feel afraid as you step into the light
Climb aboard and I will take you for a ride
A ride across the stars
I will show you things that few have seen before
I will take you down the prophet's corridor
Show you who you are
I hold the keys to secrets some long to tear apart
I am the painter, artist, the ruler of this court
He who knows the truth
Come, enjoy my world, if only for a day
Learn to conquer the madness leading you astray
Come and be alive
Where so few have survived
My question is sincere
And the answer's all too clear
Hear if you have ears
See if you have eyes
The sinner in disguise
The keys to paradise

This is the age of the rising
This is the time you'll start to fall
Starlight on the horizon
The word of wisdom on the wall
This is the world you live in
This is the place you've come to know (but not for long)
We'll find our way home

Ships of heavy metal
Fly across the stars
Amateurs and scholars
Hold your heads up high
Joined in revelation
No matter who we are
Angels of fraternity
Arrive in our sky

This is the age of the rising
This is the time you'll start to fall
Starlight on the horizon
The word of wisdom on the wall
This is the world you live in
This is the place you've come to love
Where you will be forgiven
As soon as you see things from above

I am the alpha-omega
I am the beginning and the end
I am the now and forever
Climb aboard and see, my friend
This is the path you've chosen
Stars are falling all around
But you are everlasting

8. Rebel Ride

Everybody wants to find out the secret
Everybody's heard the rumour somewhere
Everybody yearns for limelight and glory
Everybody has their two cents to share
Just turn your back on what should be
Screw convention and come with me

On a rebel ride
Rebel ride

Everybody claims they live like they're dreaming
Everybody plays the same wicked game
Everybody fears a just retribution
Yet everybody longs for fortune and fame
We'll spread this heresy nationwide
Come with me on a rebel ride

Rebel ride
Rebel ride

Get on the rebel ride
Rebel ride
Rebel ride
Rebel ride
Rebel ride
Rebel ride

9. Quest For Hades

Hear now the tale of an ancient girl
Who would die the most gruesome death
As she set out to venture the world
On a foolish and dangerous quest

She walked alone, bound by her word
To the boy who had died in her arms
That she would bring back from Hades his soul
So that he might live to grow old

The girl travelled far, into the west
For the rumours that she had heard
Spoke of a lake on a mountain crest
Which led straight to the bowels of the earth

The journey went on for countless days
'Til at last, she had reached her goal
Then she plunged into the infernal waves
And a chill went through her soul

The girl looked around and cowered in fear
Because of the horror she beheld
Thousands of corpses were floating near
Rotting away with a putrid smell
Her senses gone numb, the girl thought she saw
A face watching her with lifeless eyes
As she kept staring in terrified awe
Something below dragged her down from the light
Down
Down
Down below
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down

Down throught the mud, and further still
She was descending like a rock
The girl thought she had only moments to live
When all of a sudden, a cave opened up
Now she could breath, what good did it do
She was surrounded by nightmares
Demons were frolicking all around
Seeming to be in some kind of trance
Dance
Dance
How they danced
Spinning around
Dance of the dead

Then he came out of the shadows
The lord of the underworld
And he strode through the hall
While addressing the girl
So you think you've come for Hades
To bring back a soul
But that place is no more than myth
That boy will never grow old

Then, the girl despaired
She looked to leave the cave
The lord told her, there's no way out
But you're more than welcome to stay
Suddenly, something happened within her soul
It wanted to leave her body
You are mine, declared the lord
Let it go, surrender
Sing out your soul to me

And so, she sang

The girl spun around, losing control
She felt weightless, just like air
Then she was floating across the hall
Headed straight for the master's chair

Such was the end of her life
Her soul was consumed by the lord of the dead
Thus would her body stay out of the light
Dancing as one of the demons instead
Dead
Dead
Stone cold dead
Dead
Dead
Dead
Dead
Dead
