Annwn 05:42
lyrics

Travel down the path to the river Red canoe will greet you there Paddle down the path to the big lake Glassy water will take you there Annwn Annwn Annwn Leave behind the thoughts of your village Meet the King of this strange land Feast within the hall of the warriors Forget your title, your people your land Annwn Annwn Annwn Head deep into the mythical forest Bow and arrow accompany you Shoot down the enchanted Stag King Arawn sets his wrath upon you Run as fast as you can to the water Dive deep into the shimmering jewel Wake wounded on the shores of your homeland Carried by those who never forgot you Fall into the otherworld Somewhere in between Some strange upside Annwn Annwn Annwn Annwn

Allfather Who art in Asgard Odin be thy name Thy kingdom burned, thy will be scorned On Earth the battle will rage Give us your all seeing eye Free the Valkyries, as we march forward Revenge in our hearts Lead us into the greatest glory And deliver us to Valhalla Skeggold! Skamold! Your death is on its way Skeggold! Skamold! Each must die someday Skeggold! Skamold! Your death is on its way Skeggold! Skamold! Each must die someday Thy prisoners freed, thy will restored The warriors fought with honor Time to open the rainbow bridge And now the Valkyries, take the fallen souls Wings battle against a gray sky Let the bards write songs about this day And remember those in Valhalla Skeggold! Skamold! Your death is on its way Skeggold! Skamold! Each must die someday Skeggold! Skamold! Your death is on its way Skeggold! Skamold! Each must die someday

I don't know when I'll be back, oh My vision is blurry and black I feel as though I might collapse, oh I know that I won't make it home I am dreaming of another world, oh I'm dreaming of another world I am dreaming of another world, Somewhere away from here, Away from here Away from here Away from here Away from here I tried to stay awhile, oh They tried to revive me But it failed and I fell unconscious oh, I would've, if I could've, I would have stayed if I was stronger I am dreaming of another world, oh I'm dreaming of another world I am dreaming of another world, Somewhere away from here, Away from here Away from here Away from here Away from here I am dreaming of another world, oh I'm dreaming of another world I am dreaming of another world, Somewhere away from here, Away from here Away from here Away from here Away from here I don't know when I'll be back, oh My vision is blurry and black . . .

Nothing 05:27
lyrics
buy track
I reach out and touch nothing There's nobody here to hold me In the bittersweet reverie The dreams you have make you lonely So you go your way and take everything with you And I'll go my way and see if the road leads to you I believe in endless dreams True beauty is a heart worn on your sleeve In the silence there isn't any sound I wish that I could burrow underground When mistakes that are made leave marks on your grave You would die, to know that somebody loved you So you go your way and take everything with you And I'll go my way and see if the road leads to you I believe in endless dreams True beauty is a heart worn on your sleeve And I'm taking away all your emptiness And I'm leaving you with all your pride So you go your way and take everything with you And I'll go my way and see if the road leads to you I believe in endless dreams True beauty is a heart worn on your sleeve

Innuendo 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Loud noise pounds through every speaker Ten thousand men ready to seize her They think she's too drunk and easy Type of girl sleeps with everybody Once she's alone memory gets hazy Alienation, Isolation Hide your scars, nobody sees them Persecution, Assimilation Speak truths but nobody hears them Friends pick her up, go back to his place One bed to sleep shocked look on her face Too tired, starting to feel queasy Pass out, not proud this is crazy Becoming someone else completely Alienation, Isolation Hide your scars, nobody sees them Persecution, Assimilation Speak truths but nobody hears them Wounded by your innocence Alienation, Isolation Hide your scars, nobody sees them Persecution, Assimilation Speak truths but nobody hears them
