1. Return Of The Tyrant

There was a ship.
Cursed, with black sails and crewed by the damned... or so the legend says.
Scores of souls were lost, sent down below to Davey Jones.
Then one day, it vanished... as if the ship was swallowed up by the sea itself.

It's said that on moonless nights the cursed ship returns to torment the waves,
with its crew of the damned and its captain with a heart of pure black.
Every sailor knows the legend and the name: Tarranno Del Mar... Tyrant Of The Sea.

Sailing through the gates of hell
Ten score years in wait, it served him well
Cast in shackles, a madman betrayed
Fed the anger that's burning inside of him
Broken chains, now he takes to the waves again
The tyrant's rage

Talons reach toward the sky
Pitch the banner black and raise it high
Cut-throat, insane, lost souls of the damned
Cursed eternal, the captain and crew with him
Rule the seas, the legend revived again
The tyrant's reign

What secrets lie below the cold grey waters?
Moonless nights we rise
The tyrant rides again

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to turn
When the time has now come
The tyrant will rise again

The seeds of death for all are sown
Dragged below the waves to Davey Jones
Torn asunder and plundered their gold
Shown no mercy, the Tyrant dispatches them
Trim the sails, new conquests await the rage
Of the Tyrant's blade

2. Of Sins And Shadows

оригинал: Symphony X

Passing through the void
The darkest grand illusion
Chaos is riding on the wind

Destroyed in agony
They create a maddened lair
Summon all to heed their cry

Innocence fading away
– the dying eyes of prey

(Chorus)
Desperate cries, hail of fire deciding
All our fate in the night
Tempt in sin, shadows then begin to
Gather the souls they hold within

Victims of desire
Pestilence of their invasion
Forms then take on evil waves

Paralyze, victimize
The shadows fall and enter fast
from the sky – (from the sky)
Summon all to heed their cry

Innocence fading away
– the dying eyes of the prey

I've betrayed – slowly fade
I repent my inner plea
I've denied – sanctified
Cannot hide form this
Monstrosity

I'm immersed in a curse
Of this jaded imagery
Realize that your cries
Only jeopardize this legacy

3. (I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight

оригинал: Cutting Crew

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary it sits on the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away

Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'cos I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away

It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head, I knew I was wrong

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said,
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh iI, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been some kind of kiss
I should have walked away, I should have walked away

4. Against The Wind (Unplugged)

A bad place, a dark space
The lines that weather my face
I stand alone before the storm

Walk with me and you'll see
The flame that burns within me
A fire so cold to keep us so warm

You see the darkness in my eyes
The seed of life inside me dies
A search for the truth, to find a reason why
A voice cries out in pain in the night...

Riding the storm wind
And facing the demons inside
A thousand sins behind my eyes
A cry from the blackness
Alone with the darkness inside
Forever will I walk against the wind...

No rhyme and no reason
My world betrayed by treason
I stumble blind, what's going on?

Can't see the road that lies beyond
A need to feel where I belong
When everywhere I turn seems to guide me wrong
Running through the night for so long...

5. Rain (Unplugged)

Darkness closes in
And I turn and face the storm
Midnight in the rain
Like a thousand times before

Oh... I feel the sorrow coming, world succumbing
Oh... I feel the sadness tear me away

The rain keeps falling down on me
Of pain and life unwound to be
The rain keeps falling down on me
And darkness all around
As the rain falls down
Falls down on me...

A feeling of an empty life
Of broken heart, of broken dream
So tear the sonnet from my soul
Silent words unseen

6. 100 Reasons (Unplugged)

The future's bright I tell you
Another perfect day
All our baggage packed we climb
Aboard this sinking ship
And so we sail...

Takes a second to say hello
And forever to say goodbye
Turn the cheek of a blind denial
Into another lie

Oh, playing out this masquerade
Hold on to the dream
How long can we travel down this road we made?
Go on alone and leave me far behind

I tell myself we're all okay
(I can) think of a hundred different reasons
For me to make you stay
I leave you now and go my way
To find a change of season
To help me get my feet back on the ground
Inside it's so frustrating
A heart wrapped in golden chain
Always searching for the rainbow
Always waiting in the rain

7. Paradise (Unplugged)

I felt so weak, all hope was gone
My skin blistered slowly away
Gangrene and Smallpox – no life left inside of me
The pain that I felt was unreal...

I make my last stand as success comes my way
My bones gain their strength, nothing stands in my way
The final encounter decides who will win
Desire to live will survive...

Running away to paradise – victory in my sights
Running away to paradise – the gods are on my side

My body aching – scarred, torn and wretched
Forced to go on through the pain
Was it will that revived me, brought life back inside of me
With blood flowing fast though my veins...

8. Eternal Storm (Unplugged)

Vision born of dream-like lucid flames
Crimson light mastered by faceless names
Burning passion or a timeless force
Voices speak of shadows rising forth

Once were dreaming
Now are living
Feel the rain begin to pour
Hear the wind lift off and soar

Eternal storm
Restless souls
Eternal storm
Restless souls embrace the dying dawn

Nightmares destroying mortality
Creating dreamscape reality
Lost and forgotten our spirit sought
Forced upon us ways of lifeless thought

9. New Horizons (Unplugged)

Another city passes in the darkness
Another country come and gone
And on this never ending road I wander
Seems like I'm always on the run

So long ago
I chose this lonely road
To follow new horizons
So far to roam
A million miles from home
So many more to go...

In another life I could have been the everyman
Another tale untold for me
Cursed by the gypsy's kiss and driven onward
To reap the winds, forever free

So long ago
I chose this lonely road
To follow new horizons
So far to roam
But one thing I know
One day I'll find that road
That takes me home

Another plane, another train
Another thousand miles of road
And one more day, I'll find my way
Home to you...

Now I sit here waiting in the darkness
My thoughts a million miles away
Of all the things I've done, all the sights and wonder
Not one thing could make me stay (one more day)

10. Return Of The Tyrant (Orchestal Version)

There was a ship.
Cursed, with black sails and crewed by the damned... or so the legend says.
Scores of souls were lost, sent down below to Davey Jones.
Then one day, it vanished... as if the ship was swallowed up by the sea itself.

It's said that on moonless nights the cursed ship returns to torment the waves,
with its crew of the damned and its captain with a heart of pure black.
Every sailor knows the legend and the name: Tarranno Del Mar... Tyrant Of The Sea.

Sailing through the gates of hell
Ten score years in wait, it served him well
Cast in shackles, a madman betrayed
Fed the anger that's burning inside of him
Broken chains, now he takes to the waves again
The tyrant's rage

Talons reach toward the sky
Pitch the banner black and raise it high
Cut-throat, insane, lost souls of the damned
Cursed eternal, the captain and crew with him
Rule the seas, the legend revived again
The tyrant's reign

What secrets lie below the cold grey waters?
Moonless nights we rise
The tyrant rides again

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to turn
When the time has now come
The tyrant will rise again

The seeds of death for all are sown
Dragged below the waves to Davey Jones
Torn asunder and plundered their gold
Shown no mercy, the Tyrant dispatches them
Trim the sails, new conquests await the rage
Of the Tyrant's blade
