Lost Realms Strange how the world shrinks while you grow up Some of it seems so long ago It cannot really have been me at all As future turns to past Premonition turns to reminiscence Reality to mythology Doors open wide Somehow some memories Are growing ever stronger Ever clearer As doors begin to shut Tell me why must my childhood's oceas turn into lakes Horizons move ever nearer The myth is easier to comprehend As doors are being locked Sweet was the sun - the sun that now is burning me Clear was the rain - through which no longer I can see And we did laugh - the conquerors, the chosen Yet we could cry - now all my dreams are frozen Who am I now - I want to take another step What will I be - but my feet are heavy Can I go on - I know time heals Can I let go - yet I'm praying for the gods to turn is back Let me relive the mystery Let me conquer new horizons Let me be afraid of the dark Let me evaporate in sunlight On those ancestral plains Open me the gates of the lost realms Is it only my mind that has painted this pictures Of a rose with no thorns As I fly on the wings of the cosmic eagle The knowledge of the naive If I could but learn to live in peace with my past Not seeking to turn back time But I know I would stand all the pain Just to feel the pleasure again Yes I know I would stand all the pain Just to feel the pleasure again Sweet was the sun - the sun that now is burning me Clear was the rain - through which no longer see I can And we did laugh - the conquerors, the chosen Yet we could cry - now all my dreams are frozen Who am I now - I want to take another step What will I be - but my feet are heavy Can I go on - I know time heals Can I let go - yet I'm praying for the gods to turn is back Let me relive the mystery Let me conquer new horizons Let me be afraid of the dark Let me evaporate in sunlight On those ancestral plains Open me the gates to the lost realms And I don't know who the old man is Who sits there alone with his dreams But I hope I'll never meet his eyes I hope that he'll never tell me his name And I don't know who the old man is Who sits there alone with his dreams But I hope I'll never meet his eyes I hope that he'll never tell me his name Let me relive the mystery Let me conquer new horizons Let me be afraid of the dark Let me evaporate in sunlight On those ancestral plains Open me the gates to the lost realms Let me relive the mystery Let me conquer new horizons Let me be afraid of the dark Let me evaporate in sunlight On those ancestral plains Open me the gates to the lost realms
Such a phenomenal album. So overlooked and underrated.
Especially compared to their other albums.
Fun fact: It was produced by Tommy Hansen, who worked with Helloween up into 2000.
This band deserves a more support
Super favolosa band prima classe assoluta complimenti avanti tutta lunga vita

[Instrumental]
2. The Never Shining Stones
Here I am, can you feel me breating
In the rhythm of the world I'm in
Here I am, can you feel me breathing
In the rhythm of the world I'm in
Reaching out I caress the trees
While the sun revolves above me
Teh air is so rich I can almost drink it
Dance like a fay twixt tree and stream so cold
The true philosopher's stones
Never shall turn nothing into gold
Now they tell me I must lay me down
Once more they'll lock they door
But of leaves of green my pillow is
And free I'll disppear in the thicket
The tru philosopher's stones
Never shall turn nothing into gold
I'm awoken in the woods
I'm searching for the nevershining stones
And the man in white say I can't hear the birds
singing
I'm awoken in the woods
I'm closer to the everlasting truth
And the man in white says I can't hear them
The wealth of mine is not like thine of gold shining
Tree and leaf my treasures are
Living like me, and dying
I'm awoken in the woods
I'm searching for the nevershining stones
And the man in white say I can't hear the birds
singing
I'm awoken in the woods
I'm closer to the everlasting truth
And the man in white says I can't hear them
I'm awoken in the woods
I'm searching for the nevershining stones
And the man in white, and the man in white
I'm awoken in the woods
I'm closer to the everlasting truth
And the man in white says I can't hear them
Now I'm here behind rubber walls
And they tell me my forest never was at all
Not in a thousand years
Was it the drugs they gave to calm me
Or something into my mind through generations fed
And it it's all gone only a collective memory
Are we then dead
Is this the kingdom of the mad
3. Dancer In The Light
Black waves like thunderous towers in over me fall
Dark pools open to swallow all
Greedy claws of decadence grasp at every limb
A mirror of marred, grinning faces
In the eye of this storm of staring eyes I stand
Lightning rips both sky and land
Demonic choirs of disharmony
Screaming their false lamentation
And I know I cannot escape
This darkness that's trying to fill me
For even though I close my eyes
I see fire, I hear thunder roll
I see them carry off the fallen
The mirror cracks, the horizon's falling
When from afar a clear voice is calling
At the stroke of the harp
A road of light opens before me
Down a golden stream with flames in her hands
With a song she crushes my wanhope
And she dances, dances
Dancer in the light
Won't you guide me through the darkness
Won't you blind my eyes that I can't see the edge
Dancer in the light
Won't you dance for me
At the stroke of the harp
A road of light opens before me
Down a golden stream with flames in her hands
With a song she crushes my wanhope
And she dances, dances
Dancer in the light
Won't you guide me through the darkness
Won't you blind my eyes that I can't see the edge
Dancer in the light
Won't you dance for me
Dancer in the light
Won't you guide me through the darkness
Won't you blind my eyes that I can't see the edge
Dancer in the light
Won't you dance for me
Dancer, you're but a fantasy
Temporary existance
And I wonder if ever again
I can gather my powers to cal you
Or only wrap myself in darkness
And fly away, fly away
Dancer in the light
Won't you guide me through the darkness
Won't you blind my eyes that I can't see the edge
Dancer in the light
Won't you dance for me
4. Lost Realms
Strange how the world shrinks while you grow up
Some of it seems so long ago
It cannot really have been me at all
As future turns to past
Premonition turns to reminiscence
Reality to mythology
Doors open wide
Somehow some memories
Are growing ever stronger
Ever clearer
As doors begin to shut
Tell me why must my childhood's oceas turn into lakes
Horizons move ever nearer
The myth is easier to comprehend
As doors are being locked
Sweet was the sun - the sun that now is burning me
Clear was the rain - through which no longer I can see
And we did laugh - the conquerors, the chosen
Yet we could cry - now all my dreams are frozen
Who am I now - I want to take another step
What will I be - but my feet are heavy
Can I go on - I know time heals
Can I let go - yet I'm praying for the gods to turn is back
Let me relive the mystery
Let me conquer new horizons
Let me be afraid of the dark
Let me evaporate in sunlight
On those ancestral plains
Open me the gates of the lost realms
Is it only my mind that has painted this pictures
Of a rose with no thorns
As I fly on the wings of the cosmic eagle
The knowledge of the naive
If I could but learn to live in peace with my past
Not seeking to turn back time
But I know I would stand all the pain
Just to feel the pleasure again
Yes I know I would stand all the pain
Just to feel the pleasure again
Sweet was the sun - the sun that now is burning me
Clear was the rain - through which no longer see I can
And we did laugh - the conquerors, the chosen
Yet we could cry - now all my dreams are frozen
Who am I now - I want to take another step
What will I be - but my feet are heavy
Can I go on - I know time heals
Can I let go - yet I'm praying for the gods to turn is back
Let me relive the mystery
Let me conquer new horizons
Let me be afraid of the dark
Let me evaporate in sunlight
On those ancestral plains
Open me the gates to the lost realms
And I don't know who the old man is
Who sits there alone with his dreams
But I hope I'll never meet his eyes
I hope that he'll never tell me his name
And I don't know who the old man is
Who sits there alone with his dreams
But I hope I'll never meet his eyes
I hope that he'll never tell me his name
Let me relive the mystery
Let me conquer new horizons
Let me be afraid of the dark
Let me evaporate in sunlight
On those ancestral plains
Open me the gates to the lost realms
Let me relive the mystery
Let me conquer new horizons
Let me be afraid of the dark
Let me evaporate in sunlight
On those ancestral plains
Open me the gates to the lost realms
