ELOY:   The Tides Return Forever

The Day Of Crimson Skies

Strange was my dream
the sun on the horizon disappeared out of sight

Before my eyes
the moon begun to glow in crimson skies
burning bright

A ball of fire hit the ground
the earth torn apart
a crowd in panic stormed the streets
fear spreading out

Inside my heart
a latent force dispersed all rising fear
from my mind

A piercing cry
of soaring birds announced our judgement's day
across the sky

A magic sound rang everywhere
filling the air
a liquid fire all around
claiming the ground
panic all around

A magic light - fiery and bright
rising despair - fear in the air
man, woman, child - all running wild
time standing still
on the day of crimson skies

A magic light - fiery and bright
from outer space
to destroy the human race!

Fatal Illusions

Religions sell salvation
making promises hard to keep
confusing the mind with contradicting beliefs

The modern way of thinking
seeking refuge in a material world
where everchanging values are giving relief

Here we are on the edge of time
minds in confusion are
fading out from reality
fatal illusions of life

Dancing on a volcano
disregarding the count-down has begun
defeating all fears by simply closing our eyes

The future generation
will inherit the idols of our time
at the mercy of perverts
adoring corruption and crime

Here we are on the edge of time
minds in confusion are
fading out from reality
fatal illusions of life

I see the light is fading
I feel the cold is spreading out
I feel the doubts are growing
dissatisfaction all about

Hear - what is that sound a-sounding
See - what is that light a-shining
Feel - still there's emotions deep inside

Tearing down the prison walls
of our cloned society
for we sleepwalk in the crowd
of conformity
reconstructing all anew
values of the past
re-alight the flame
if our children are the last
will that be their legacy
this insanity
is there another chance?

Here we are on the edge of time
minds in confusion are
fading out from reality
fatal illusions of life

Here we are on the edge of time
minds in confusion are
fading out from reality
hold on to fallacies
finding comfort in cyberspace
slaves of technology
seeking shelter inside of dreams
fatal illusions remain

Childhood Memories

Before my eyes
pictures appear
from long ago
but still so clear

With skies of blue
wind in my hair
we shared a moment
without a single care

I still remember
one summer's day
she held my hand
to lead the way

And showed me treasures
love in her smile
we strolled the meadows
and sang a lullaby

Wild flowers were in bloom
wearing a crown of dew
and sunrays on the leaves
danced in and out of view

Hear the stream that's flowing by
swallows flying in the sky
all the beauties of the land
I began to understand
on that day she held my hand

Brilliant colours all around
million wonders to be found
while the perfume in the air
takes my senses unawares
giving joy without compare

Her tender voice
whispered a sound
and made my heart
begin to pound

A children's rhyme
rings in my ears
captured in my mind
to dissipate all fears

Roaming in my dream
feeling as I did before
safe within my mem'ries
opening that secret door

Brilliant colours all around
million wonders to be found
thousand graceful butterflies
rise to fill this paradise
as they catch me by surprise

Hear the stream that's flowing by
swallows flying in the sky
endless haunting melodies
spreading mystic poetry
to enlight my fantasy

There's a rainbow in my heart
even though we had to part
shining on forever bright
like a diamond in the night
always there to make things right

Generation Of Innocence

Many questions unanswered
contradictions is all we found
all we have is a chaos
blind to visions and deaf to sound

Generation of innocence
face the challange and fight
realize all your visions
set your spirit alive

Go ahead full of confidence
trust your power inside
reawaken a common sense
now's the time to decide

You'll be guiding the way
in the labyrinth of our times

Face to face with the future
minds are gathering to reunite
brave explorers of new horizons
tearing down barriers from the past

Generation of innocence
face the challange and fight
realize all your visions
set your spirit alive

Go ahead full of confidence
trust your power inside
reawaken a common sense
now's the time to decide

You'll be guiding the way
in the labyrinth of our times

Through the passing bell of our times
(is) spreading fear through our hearts and minds now
by the open gates of yesterday
there is hope we'll see a golden age born

Hear the heartbeat of nature
slowly beating in agony
now the pressure is rising high
by the sins of society

Generation of innocence
face the challange and fight
realize all your visions
set your spirit alive

Go ahead full of confidence
trust your power inside
reawaken a common sense
now's the time to decide

You'll be guiding the way
in the labyrinth of our times

The Tides Return Forever

Visions appear to the dreaming heart
temptations seduce till all's torn apart
and they fill the mind
with thoughts of hidden treasures

The excitement about wakes the power inside
every step of the way leaves the heart full of pride
but the values been set
will follow on forever

The mirrors of life will rebound what's been done
claiming the price that is due
time after time

Cycles of fate dance the orbit of time
escorting the ages of madness and crime
but there's no standstill
for the tides return forever

Searching clues for the future without grasping the past
wasting the present, though it's running by fast
but the rivers flow
to join the seas forever

Nothing can change this natural course
all revolutions in vain
all were insane

Approaching the moment of truth unawares
the answers to questions are gained
in joy and in pain

Silent cries
values in disguise
in a world of rules
made by mindless fools

Rise and fall
never changed at all
all the joy and pain
falling down like rain

Lost in trails of time
now the last in line
while the wheels rotate
to a certain fate

At the journey's end
enter nomansland
just where day and night
finally reunite

choir/female voice:
the tides return forever
silent cries
rise and fall
the tides return forever

Nothing can stop all eroding decay
life has it's natural way
day after day

Approaching the moment of truth unawares
the answers to questions are gained
in joy and in pain

The Last In Line

Visions in decay
shadows on the wall
in world of desolation

No one cares about
the future nor the past
a superficialist generation

On a journey of no return
we're surpassing the gates of hell
still emotions as cold as ice
heeding no advice

living for the day
no conception
riding high on our self-deception

Riot all around
siren's wailing sound
raging chaos in all directions

While we dance in the danger zone
false impressions to ease the soul
in a tempest of space and time
try to keep control

We are, we are
the children of tomorrow
we are, we are
the future generation
we are, we are
victims lost in fate
we are, we are
the last in line

We are reckless
running headless
holding on to the wings of madness

No perception
no direction
no belief in resurrection

Still aware of the present state
we resign to our certain fate
standing now as the last in line
can't turn back time

We are, we are
the children of tomorrow
we are, we are
the future generation
we are, we are
victims lost in fate
we are, we are
the last in line

Still aware of the present state
we resign to our certain fate
standing now as the last in line
can't turn back time

We are, we are
the children of tomorrow
we are, we are
the future generation
we are, we are
victims lost in fate
we are, we are

We are, we are
useless and abandoned....

Company Of Angels
(dedicated to Jeanne d'Arc)

Darkness prevails
mercyless war
devastating the land
with a vicious embrace

The footsteps of death
leave hunger and pain
empty hearts in dispair
tears fall like rain

Far in the distance
a glowing celestial sign
out of the silence
a murmur begins to rise
Choir:
We fear no one
we trust in Jeanne
our weapons strike like fire
We roll like thunder
skies torn asunder
a mighty roar from heaven
warriors of the Lord

Fears dissipate
minds reunite
for a holy crusade
in growing belief
the virgin of light
escorted by knights
leading banners of war
by celestial advice

Heavenly angels ride on the battlefields
wearing the colours of justice upon their shields
Choir:
Invincible - infallible
a holy blaze of fire
The choice of heaven
a deadly weapon
we fight to end the torture
the iron hand of God
female voice/choir:
Hear the message of the glory
God is with you
trust the company of angels
holy army
Dark shadows
of evil
engulf the light of glory
the powers
of darkness
demand the blood of sacrifice

Imprisoned
awaiting
the claws of inquisition
the jury
of traitors
holding the scales of justice

Her grieving
companions
shed burning tears of sadness
no mercy
damnation
the pyre claims the child of light

All that remains
tears and love
as she rose to eternal light
weapons of war
silent now
still her spirit rides on the wind

Over the ages
a mystical sound rebounds
voices of warriors
forever are chanting on
Choir:
We fear no one / ?
we trust in Jeanne / the child of light
her silver armour shining / her silver armour shining
The joice of heaven / heaven
a deadly weapon / ?
a holy blaze of fire / holy blaze of fire

Her guiding star / far in the distance
shines from afar / she rose to eternity
lightning remains forever / her spirit rides the wind
till the end of time
