Arise (1:02)
Music / Lyrics : Michael Kammeyer Up from the ashes Back from the depths When the voices have risen Fire becomes flesh!
Year Of The Phoenix (4:57)
Music / Lyrics : Michael Kammeyer The sun shall rise, my enemies yield purified by flames, my true face unveiled The time has come, the stars aligned it's meant to be, I see the signs out of the ashes, of beauty and power a new beginning, this is the hour Thirsty souls bound by the silence shall be reborn by their own story and when the voices have risen we will seal this pact of resurrecting glory This is the year of the Phoenix let all legends come to life turn the silence into thunder believe in one more wonder Out of the old let the new arise forged in fire stronger than demise Another season has come and gone there will be another one with true intents we march forever always striving to be better Within the elusive dreamer slumbers a beauty almost pale now awakened and renewed creating another haunting tale This is the year of the Phoenix let all legends come to life turn the silence into thunder believe in one more wonder
Ghost Light (6:08)
Music / Lyrics : Michael Kammeyer Mind the bogs between night and day Will-o-the-wisp will lead you astray dusk has come and shadows grow long the hour of ghosts and their luring song On your own you'll feel the fear of a thousand years What is right, what is wrong? When you see the ghosts light in the marshes stand your ground till it's gone Elemental, spook or fairy no one knows, but wise is the wary Traveller in the dark you seek the treasure or the way the flame of the ghost will guide you or tempt you until the light of day Traveller in the dark you seek the treasure or the way the walking fire will recede if can follow until the light of day Hear the unknown, it whispers your name the glow so enchanting, so warm is the flame those who have followed are said to be lost you may solve its riddle, but at what cost? In the dark all light seems kind but not all doors are there to enter let it burn in solitude an elusive guest in lonely splendour Elemental, spook or fairy no one knows, but wise is the wary Traveller in the dark you seek the treasure or the way the flame of the ghost will guide you or tempt you until the light of day Traveller in the dark you seek the treasure or the way the walking fire will recede if can follow until the light of day Twilight songs from age to age across the sea from land to land skin shall shiver, hearts shall rage when you feel the ghost lights chant Traveller in the dark you seek the treasure or the way the flame of the ghost will guide you or tempt you until the light of day
Touched By The Mara (5:54)
Music / Lyrics : Michael Kammeyer A blink of an eye and the scenery changed no longer safe, surroundings rearranged The nightmare has come to give me an uneasy sleep I scream to be awake but my dream's to deep Another night in the land of fear It draws me near I'm no coward, I'm fighting and bleeding the mare has found me once again a storm rages in my mind the dark has left me blind When sanity is hanging by a thread my own cries wake me laying in my bed After the battle after all is said and done I still feel the pain and I'm the only one Another night in the land of fear It draws me near Nightmare's coming, fangs are biting cold hands clutching around my throat nightmares found me, all around me unspoken horror steals my covers I'm no coward, I'm fighting and bleeding the mare has found me once again a storm rages in my mind the dark has left me blind
A Beautiful Death (4:28)
Music / Lyrics : Michael Kammeyer / Matt Barlow See what stands before us legions of men basking in this moment prepared we make our stand Arrows let fly you cannot see the sun as they crest, it blacks out hope that we might live Warriors cry we will not retreat we will light the way we'll fight our way to the end This life is fleeting no words can express how we're feeling now as the darkness consumes we all have sworn that there's no turning back we will fight to a beautiful death Side by side in battle the phalanx is our strength my brothers blood is my blood our enemy is tyranny Arrows let fly you cannot see the sun as they crest, it blacks out hope that we might live Warriors cry we will not retreat we will light the way we'll fight our way to the end Instinct takes over extinction is not sought the fire that burns in us is not magic nor pride our sacrifice will be carved in forever we'll live on through a beautiful death Arrows let fly you cannot see the sun as they crest, it blacks out hope that we might live Warriors cry we will not retreat we will light the way we'll fight our way to the end
Legacy In A Rhyme (4:05)
Music / Lyrics : Michael Kammeyer Come fly away with me close your eyes and find that place between dream and reality That's where I live that's where I breathe Oceans of creation Heart for the heartless Remember me, in vain I did not suffer and the pain won't hurt me anymore Remember me, and I am forever I gave my everything and I still do, my love Let me bleed for you I know how to make a sacrifice I am the poet with the bloody knife What I have seen where I have been life that I've created Miracle indeed Remember me, in vain I did not suffer and the pain won't hurt me anymore Remember me, and I am forever I gave my everything and I still do, my love Let me bleed for you No time to waste only time to treasure and I do every second of every hour Creating the memory with words of mine my love, my life My legacy in a rhyme No time to waste only time to treasure creating the memories that will last forever sounds and the pictures that echo through time my love, my life My legacy in a rhyme
Caramon's Poem (4:57)
Music / Lyrics : Michael Kammeyer Born as a twin close to the twilight hour my brother's body so weak and thirsting for power The gift was cruel an uneven start, meant to tear us apart but in our lives there must be a purpose I will gaze to the future let it be revealed, no mans fate is sealed but I wonder what will become of us In the land of dragons we walk side by side love not returned, trust never earned but brothers till the end In the land of dragons we walk side by side love not returned, trust never earned but brothers till the end Power of the body and force of the mind like the book and the storyteller we are two of a kind I feel your rage my brother our blood is the same, in our kin lies no shame you must rein your thirst for power, before it's too late What we do defines who we are in this lies the beauty and the beast don't let your hatred be unleashed In the land of dragons we walk side by side love not returned, trust never earned but brothers till the end In the land of dragons we walk side by side love not returned, trust never earned but brothers till the end
The Highland (5:41)
Music / Lyrics : Michael Kammeyer Highland green you know my heart a life under open skies the scent so different out here in the wild a land so fair where the free eagle flies I could walk here a thousand years your beauty will never grow old the rain that caresses my face will never make me feel cold inside I will never feel cold Stranded in a fairytale where's the lady of the lake the white deer that eludes the hunter are they here, I wonder Highland green you know my heart nothing can ever tear us apart longing for your simple ways fill my dreams, steal my days Call me a clansman, if I am of worth a child of bygone days a promise of serenity is what you give to me to me For my your thunder is a friend and lightning so innocent Gladly I'm heeding your call my fortune is always to see our ways are connected an elusive place deep in me a place deep in me Stranded in a fairytale where's the lady of the lake the white deer that eludes the hunter are they here, I wonder Highland green you know my heart nothing can ever tear us apart longing for your simple ways fill my dreams, steal my days Call me a clansman, if I am of worth a child of bygone days a promise of serenity is made for me From the mountain top to the valleys so deep your promise cleanses me it is mine to keep Highland green you know my heart nothing can ever tear us apart longing for your simple ways fill my dreams, steal my days
Shadow Of The Beast (6:04)
Music / Lyrics : Michael Kammeyer Lurking, breathing, watching, hunting his home is the shadow world A taste for flesh of man a cunning being with a plan He will command your final hour from his hunger, demon power Sinner or saint, it's all the same the taste of your flesh is what you can blame This beast has no conscience, only pure will the only religion, the taste of the kill Executioner, punisher wolf or demon, or message from God the eyes of the beast are greedy indeed don't try to explain what you can not Executioner, punisher wolf or demon, or message from God the eyes of the beast are greedy indeed don't try to explain what you can not Many beasts suffered an ill fate another mindless savage hunt Pure revenge by the hand of man to find the Beast of Géeuml;vaudan Eye for an eye, lie after lie hunters seeking recognition You can not catch the shadow you can not slay what you can not find the land holds a secret born of the soil revealed only in the dark of the mind Executioner, punisher wolf or demon, or message from god the eyes of the beast are greedy indeed don't try to explain what you can not Executioner, punisher wolf or demon, or message from god the eyes of the beast are greedy indeed don't try to explain what you can not Three years of terror finished as they started An elusive guest has come and gone awakened fear in everyone A story told for centuries

The Birth (6:41)
(live bonus track) Music / Lyrics : Michael Kammeyer In the middle of this night time, silence rules the earth and the creatures of the forest will bare witness of a birth a child conceived by wishes, and a touch of divine no mother and no father but born of purest light Welcome into this world, it's not what it once was peace has left for suffering and it's closing in on us we shall be your guardians, some of what still remains of what once was good in this world and not bound by evil chains A touch of human, with markings from beyond where will you go, where could you come from little one is your blood from this world, do you bleed like us at all your presence seems so mighty, and yet you're so small Welcome into this world, it's not what it once was peace has left for suffering and it's closing in on us we shall be your guardians, some of what still remains of what once was good in this world and not bound by evil chains No hurt, no pain, no suffering has yet run through your veins we will guard you from the wicked evil chains the ancient trees, will grant you peace, your brothers are the spirits of the wood this will be your childhood - welcome here - welcome here - welcome here - welcome here
What Lies Beyond (4:39)
(live bonus track) Music / Lyrics : Michael Kammeyer Running on strong legs exploring like a child not from here but born into the wild the malice from outside has not yet reached this realm but it's the calm before the storm From here i see the fading light and the beginning of night Tell me friends what lies beyond the borders of this peaceful place only ancient evil which you child are not ready to face elusive, deceiving, don't trust what lies beyond 'cause evil, is moving, it can not be undone Growing fast I'm only one year old now but stronger and smarter somehow I'm learning so fast, how long will this last yesterday seems like a long gone past I feel I have purpose in being here but not to know is hard to bear Tell me friends what lies beyond the borders of this peaceful place only ancient evil which you child are not ready to face elusive, deceiving, don't trust what lies beyond 'cause evil, is moving, it can not be undone Oh, look at me now I'm different somehow the marks in my face are not from this place... not from this place... Tell me friends what lies beyond the borders of this peaceful place only ancient evil which you child are not ready to face elusive, deceiving, don't trust what lies beyond 'cause evil, is moving, it can not be undone
