A clash of steel, a blinding light
Is this the start of Chaos' fight?
We were born to be free
Not live in terror, under tyranny
"Take up the sword and take up me,"
the Chaos Lord's answer is to be,
"Your path is chosen, you have no choice,
Come join us now!" thus spake the voice.
It's paradise,
Is this my paradise?
(repeat)
The cool brain tortured by neurotic fears
The man of ice melts in shameless tears
The journey onward, it never ends
When you're alone, with so few friends
(guitar solo)
(Repeat Chorus)

I am the child of wars never won
Take heed prisoner I am the one
Your battle is over before it's begun
For a child on the run I am free
Many tournaments fought in this land
Flying banners now dashed in the sand
The colours you wear will not keep me
For a child on the run I am free
The courts and knights of the table
Bold stories of dragon and fable
Your sword is red-stained I can see
For a child on the run I am free
Silks, satins, riches in plenty
Acres of land, four and twenty
I am not you, I am me
For a child on the run I am free
I am the child of wars never won
Take heed prisoner I am the one
Your battle is over before it's begun
For a child on the run I am free

Elric's cousin Yrkoon has usurped his throne and has taken Elric, the weak one, prisoner. He places him on board a ship and attempts to have him done away with. He has him thrown overboard, but Elric calls upon the Sea King to help him.

Sinking deeper beneath the waves
Mind now resigned, accepts his fate
Ancient alliance creeps into his thoughts
Unbid to him comes a rune once taught
Sea King has come to him
Sea King to save him
Unsure whether he's dreaming or dead
Seeing the face that his youth has bred
Slowly realising that to him has come
His ancestors' ally, friend only to some
Sea King has come to him
Sea King to save him
He sees that his life is safe
His foe Yrkoon has failed
The deed that was to finish him
Has come to no avail
Sea King has come to him
Sea King to save him
To his kingdom he is now bound
The sea around him is his shroud
Age old wisdom has set him free
So to realise his destiny
Sea King has come to him
Sea King to save him

We're angels of life, we're angels of death
We're angels of life, we're angels of death
We're born to blaze a nuclear way through space
A way out of the waste that held the human race
We're angels of life, we're angels of death
We're angels of life, we're angels of death
We are the dead who are never led
We are the warriors at the edge of time
We lurk inside your brain, we hide inside your minds
We're angels of life, we're angels of death
We're angels of life, we're angels of death
We stalk the city streets, to kill all we meet
Nostrils flare awhile, it makes you want to smile
We're born to erase all of your days....

Rocky paths winding round, the inspiration is to be found
Following us now with sound coming from earthy ground
Keeping up an open mind
In everyone you'll find a part to help you climb the walls
built up by time
Never close yourself to more, learn we can, that's for sure
And it isn't hard to endure a heart that has an open door

I am the centre of this universe
The wind of time is blowing through me
And it's all moving relative to me,
It's all a figment of my mind
In a world that I've designed
I'm charged with cosmic energy
Has the world gone mad or is it me?
I am the creator of this universe
And all that it was meant to be
So that we might learn to see
This foolishness that lives in us
And stupidity that we must suss
How to banish from our minds
If you call this living I must be blind.

Gleaming towers that touch the sky
Ancient turrets catch the eye
You stand so proud
Coloured walls that shine so bright
A monument to truth and light
You carry on
Fate is working fast to bring you down
Peopled by a master race
But living lives so cruel, so base
Unconquered souls
Their master knows not how to rule
Dark forces use him as their tool
He carries on
Fate is working fast to bring him down
Dreaming City your light is fading
Amidst the chaos that now is reigning
Uncaring beings come soon to raze
Your tall, fair towers to set ablaze
Fate is working fast to bring you down

They're handing out the weapons
And your armour's ready too
But the most important item
Has been left up to you
You must make a firm decision
And once it's made you'll find
That the form that you have chosen
Can entirely fill your mind
For the mask you have selected
Stands for Chaos or for Law
And you cannot take it off now
'til you're no longer in the War
And the Masks of War are grinning
And from under them you howl
Out the slogans of the part you play
for the Battle's starting now
Choose your Masks
The ranks are forming
Choose your Masks
The day is dawning
Choose your Masks
And choose the side that you'll be on
And learn the words of your new song
For the Battle will be long.....so long........

So you're alive, I thought you was done ...
So you're alive, I thought you was done
I'm gonna bring you down with my needle gun
Feel my pin-prick tattoo your spine
Give it a minute, your life's entwined with mine
It's gonna make you run
Needle needle, needle needle gun
It's gonna make you run
Needle needle, needle needle gun
Hear my laughter in your head
It's a pity, it's a shame nothing's been said
It's a vaccination joy with the ultimate death toy
It's gonna make you run, needle gun! needle gun!
It's gonna make you run
Needle needle, needle needle gun
It's gonna make you run
Needle needle, needle needle gun
It's gonna make you run
Needle needle, needle needle gun
It's gonna make you run
Evil needle, needle needle gun!
(Needle gun!)

Fire of destiny
Fire of reality
Zarozinia
The burning of flesh
Flames loving caress
Zarozinia
Water from a thousand tears
Feeling of a thousand years
Flows over me
But the dream it is too real
Cold reality of steel
Zarozinia
Hurt and wounded you return
But deep down feel the anger burn
Zarozinia

Moonglum, friend without a reason
Moonglum, friend without a cause
Embarrassed by a show of love
But would stand by the man of the feeble blood
This bond meant much more to him
Than a kingdom offered by a queen
No words for this silent trust
As the Sword goes on to sate its lust
Moonglum and Elric hunting Theleb K'aarna
Myshella now replacing Queen Yishana
See them travel through open skies
See the amazing steel bird fly
Armies stand, soon to fall
Sorcery is the tune they call
Pitting wit against flesh and gall
Timeless searching in timeless halls
Wandering out to meet his death
To find this was no release
Searching for some sort of ease
Denying feelings that made him weak
Moonglum and Elric hunting Theleb K'aarna
Myshella now replacing Queen Yishana
See them travel through open skies
See the amazing steel bird fly

The song he sang was surfaces
Nothing deeper than a child knows
He could sing sand into pearls
So the saying goes
Some said he was a sorcerer
Or a warrior chief
But he was the stealer of souls
The lord of Chaos reaps
And he's frozen in a time trap
Slowly losing power
And he's frightened if he makes a move
The dream will soon turn sour
Sprawling in a Ruby Throne
His head cupped in his hands
The Lord of Dragons, Elric's thoughts
Were of quests to far-off lands
The Black Sword was at his side
Murmuring in its scabbard cold
Waiting for the moment to arrive
To drink the very essence of souls
And he's frozen in a time trap
Slowly losing power
And he's frightened if he makes a move
The dream will soon turn sour
(guitar solo)
BRIDGE:
He did not know that the sword he'd hold
Would turn his priceless empire into fool's gold
The truth, the shadow of the sword will hide
'Til it's too late, a traitor at his side
And as he gazes from his ruby throne
He's growing restless of the life he's sown
To get away, embark on a quest
To put his powers of sorcery to the test
The drugs he takes to keep himself awake
Lose their effect, he can no longer wait
To find the sword and gain more power
And make his move before the dream turns sour
(FADE-OUT)

Magnu, horse with golden mane
I want your help yet once again
Walk not the earth but fly through space
As lightnings flash and thunders race
Magnu...
Magnu, come to me
Just like your mare's mare
Come to me
MAGNU
Magnu, horse with golden mane
I want your help yet once again
Walk not the earth but fly through space
As lightnings flash and thunders race
Swift as the arrow from the bow
Come to me so that no one can know
Sunbeams are my shafts to kill
All men who dare imagine ill
Deceit that fears the light of day
Flies from the glory of my ray
Good minds open and take new light
Until we diminish by the reign of night
A burning brand was seen to fall,
It lit the darkness of the hall
The flying hoofbeats circling in,
Come to me and let us spin
Sunbeams are my shafts to kill
All men who dare imagine ill
Deceit that fears the light of day
Flies from the glory of my ray
Good minds open and take new light
Until we diminish by the reign of night
(REPEAT)

Waiting in the valley of all creation
Calling out a song for the state of the nation
I am son born of father never related
Frozen in a bank of ice essence liberated
Looking from the future into the past
Footprints of awareness approaching so fast
Queues of sterile mothers waiting for inspection
Populace diminished everywhere there is rejection
Dust of time caught in your eye
A fleeting glimpse gone in a sigh
Dust of time caught in your eye
A fleeting glimpse gone in a sigh
