Chorus
For in the dark they will wait
(DANCE! DANCE! DANCE! DANCE)
The three who will seal our fate
(DANCE! DANCE! DANCE! DANCE)
Begging to be released
(DANCE! DANCE! DANCE! DANCE)
Forever!
Verse One
In the house of
Eternal misery
Souls will never grow old
Forced to dance on eternally
No death, no dreams
Nothing will remain
Your life is sold
Into depths of time untold
Solo: Delise
Verse Two
The caw of the raven
Echoes endlessly
Down these gilded halls
Bringing sound to nothing
And nothing at all
The waltz of death remains
And remains forever
Forever will be
Bridge END
I can feel my mind
Slowly slip away
Truly going mad
Truly now insane
As we dance forever
On into the night
Lost amidst eternity
Lost in Raven light

Verse One
Where will we go, lodged within our hollow shells
Our spirit crying out, over and over for release
I can sense your pain burn across the nether
Driving you insane, pulled on and on by the Raven’s tether
Chorus
Follow me
So that you can see
What lies beyond
The Gates of Dreams
Follow me
Allow it to be
And I’ll show you night
And darkness behind the light
Verse Two
Why can’t you see that you are dreaming awake
Marching forward in life, a pale emanation
No passion it seems you will leave the world no trace
And when your time has come, you’ll die in pitiless disgrace
Solo: Delise
Verse Three
I swear, I can lead you there, to a world beyond all despair
A place beyond all it seems, a place beyond your dreams

Raven's Path
06:29
|
|||
Verse One
See! Now I see them there
Standing behind the shadows
The starless canopy
Occluding my twisted mortal scream
They seem to seek
The guidance of corvid sight
As the Raven flies on
On into the deepest night
Pre-Chorus
Deeper, Darker, Into the night (X2)
Chorus
Now / Follow me
Along / The Raven’s Path
I’m damned if I do
I’m damned if I don’t
There’s no way to turn
But I must go
Deeper
Into the night
Verse Two
Feel! I feel my hope turn to despair
As the forest grows darker
Emerging before me
The dark rising fortress
The house of corvid delight
The Raven’s home
Its obsidian stone
Towering into the night
Bridge B
Losing now my very grip
On reality
I step into the corvid light
Beckoned deeper into the night
Solo: Jones
Ending (Round)
A – Deeper Darker
B – Into the Night
C – I must go
D – Fading Forever

Verse One
Tossing and turning
My mind always ablaze
With the twin light of day
But that dream is no dream
The shadows of reality
Intrude upon what should be
As soon as my head
Lay soft upon that bed
Thine eyes they seek
The horror of that waking
Though it happens every day
Neither defined by sight
Chorus
I am the man who never sleeps
First to lose it all
To gain insanity
I am the man
Who dreamt it all
I am the man who never lived
First to gain it all
To gain my sanity
I am the man
Who dreamt it all
Verse Two
So here lay I
Neither lost nor damned
Merely cursed to live
As if by strange magic
My soul be lifted free
To dream and dream and dream
I squeeze shut thine eyes
And pray for release
From the blaze of two skies
I fear for my sanity
As I cling to what is real
It’s all so surreal
Solo: Delise / Jones / Both
Verse Three
The sights that I’ve seen
I wish I could say
Confined to two lives
My dreams though are real
They encompass each soul
I’ve lived millions this way
Through the eyes of mankind
Every moment I saw
There must be an end
But the dream just goes on
For I have never slept
But I have dreamt it all

Queen of the Franks
04:39
|
|||
Verse One
The sole wife to Pepin the Short
Mother to two powerful sons
In the Court of the Franks
Two competing rulers
Guiding their paths
From the shadows
Whispers here
and whispers there
Who speaks whispers in the ear?
Pre Chorus
Of the eldest son
Charles the Great
The stronger by far
The stage for empire lain
Chorus
The Queen of the Franks
Mother to Charlemagne
The Queen of the Franks
We won’t forget her name
The Queen of the Franks
Mother to Charlemagne
The Queen of the Franks
We won’t forget her name
(Betrada of Laon!)
Verse Two
Now who would dare
suspect our lovely queen
Such Merovingian
guile
She plots only with
The very best
Her desire met in stride
always with a smile
Pre-Chorus
To ensure her favored son
Doth ascend the Frankish throne
The stronger by far
The stage for empire lain
Solo: Jones

Chorus
Deliver us now this day
The shadow looms
And spreads decay
From whence darkness came
Who could know?
And who would say?
Call upon this darkness
We’ll be there
We reap dismay
From whence darkness came
Who could know?
And who would say?
Bridge A
The plight of man
Ignored upon the altar
From the deep the Raven caws
Our strength fades and falters
Deep in the starless wood
We seek eternal shelter
From the deep the Raven caws
Our strength fades and falters
Solo: Jones
Bridge B
Is there no relief in this ever waking dream
My guilt, my shame, my fate eternally!

Intro
Here among the ruins of this once joyful land
The mournful cry of ravens stilled by winter’s hand
The gentle frozen stream, once had run with blood
The blood of living souls, now forever gone
Verse One
Among this haunted land
I will always roam
No matter what I do
It will always be my home
Among the wastes of tortured souls
I will always roam
Time will always be
It decays again and again
Chorus
Here in this Hell I can never die
I dream of death, despair
Raise my curses to the sky!
I see my people fall in shallow graves to lie
I dream of death, despair
Wind echoes my eternal cry
Verse Two
When the winds they blow
They come with ice and rain
That spiteful demon king
The lord of the Arcane
He came to our kingdom
As if a friend
I let him in, this guilt I bear
For my vanity would spell the end
Solo: Delise
Bridge A
Gazing out from my sacrificial altar
Eyes open and mind attuned
To every dying scream
Every waking nightmare
My people endured
I live it again, and again
And again!
Solo: Jones
Bridge B
(A) Is there no relief in this ever waking dream
My guilt, my shame, my fate eternally!
(B) Will I ever be released from this never ending nightmare?
(C) Please let me die!
(D) I raise my curses to the sky!
Verse Three
So he cast his demon spell
Killing all who were sworn to me
Leaving me to live
Out my crime eternally
Among this haunted land
I will always roam
No matter what I do
It will always be my home
