Having ended a long dangerous journey continuously fighting hate, resistance
and fear, The Keeper of the Seven Keys returns home the glorious victor
the over dark powers. His armour and sword have become ragged and stained
by the tolls of his journey, he bears an apparence of utter exhaustion and
sadness, betrayed only by his sparkling eyes.
The patron through space and time, the Seer of Visions has been blinded
after the Keeper's outset for the evil valey, but had nevetheless been on
hand for him. He feels his servant's presence and steps outside his
mountain retreat to welcome the victorious fighter home.
"thou knowest it hath been a long and hard struggle", the Seer lifts his
voice, "And I feared we could not withstand the evil forces ready to destroy
us, but thy spirit is purest goodness and thou hast defeated the beast."
"As a reward and a further duty, I will now unveil seven heavenly rings
from this shell."
"They embody Spirit, Thruth, Destiny, Love, Creation, Fulfillent and Sanctuary"
"They may appear only humble, but they will establish the principles of
existence that thy victory hast allowed."
"Every soul will be given freedom of thought and will, but every soul will
have to bend to the Law of Principles called Reality, although created in
different dimensions in different times, but meeting at the same point in
space and time. Judgement will be fulfilled when no mind will be expecting it."
"These rings have been forged so that they mayest only consecrated by thy
hand. Hurry, for many souls await resurrection !."
The keeper does as he is told, his hands meet the metal of each golden ring.
Suddenly, in an outburst of light, the rings ascend slowly, vibrate faster
and faster, disolve in a high screeching clamour, fade into a misty swirl
and within the blink of an eye, disappear."
The Keeper stands alone, ...

@SONG: Sole survivor
4'33" Weikath-Deris
I got that fever
Burning in my head
So many memories
No tear to shed
Burns like a fire
Who stole my aims?
My comrade fighters
Been sent astray
How could I know
What others had in mind for me ?
How would they know
What measures I take ?
Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert
Sing your feelings out
Your feelings remains unheard
Sole survivor
We shared like brothers
A light in the black
Totally blended
Bold and erect
But we've grown intriguers
Till it's to late
Time has brought fire
Fear, greed and hate
Now I'm cryin'
Shattered on the ground
All I find
Has died anyway
Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert
Sing your feelings out
Your feelings remains unheard
Sole survivor
Got a voice without a sound
Mean mistreaters
Took away your ground
Sole survivor
SOLO
Sole survivor...
@SONG: Where the rain grows
4'46" Weikath-Deris
I never looked higher
Than I could see
Never gave less
Than I have given me
The more you have taken
You turned into fakes
I finally know now
Why, for heavens'sake ?
Don't tell me you did not see
that I cried
Don't act so deaf and blind
Don't think that if someone's
made dumb to the core
He would stay like before
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
Now you call me liar
'cause you are just the
"Always-have-right-fools-
majority"
I think that if someone
Sterved at your side
You'd all turn your back
Won't give any dime
Don't tell me you did not see
that I cried
Don't act so deaf and blind
Don't think that if someone's
made dumb to the core
He would stay like before
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
SOLO
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
I know where the raig grows
I'm back from where the rain grows
@SONG: Why ?
4'11" Deris
Father, it's time
Have a heart for your
child who cries in pain
Not a new sign
But a strike that's all
blow those fools away
Open your eyes
If you've got any you
just look for too long
a time
They spit on your name
Doin' everything you
darned as highest
crime
They belive they could
walk on the water
Playin 'Godsleep with
the devils' daughter
Killed your son and
might kill mine
But you don't mind
Why, Lord why
Tell my why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why
How could you fail ?
Still it's time, turn
the black into the light
Why do you wait ?
Do you look down and
laugh at what you find ?
Can't you see they are
mistreating their
daughters
They belive they could
walk on the waters
They killed your son
and might kill mine
But you don't mind
Why, Lord why
Tell my why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why
Why, Lord why
Tell my why
Your the only light
forever lasting
Tell me father, why
SOLO
Why, Lord why
Tell my why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why
Why, Lord why
Tell my why
Your the only light
forever lasting
Tell me father, why
Father it's time
Father it's time ...
@SONG: Mr Ego (take me down)
7'02" Grapow
Take me down
To a ground
Just let me feel it
If I let someone down
Please welcome
Him on the losing side
I shake you off
And make my choice
Don't wanna hear you
Your slimy voice
Please go down, please
I don'd wanna feel you
around me
Take me down to a
higher ground
To survive your
mindless sound
If you know all the people
Why are you alone ?
If you know all the people
You'll be goin' down
I feel that man
On my back
Don't promise any crap
Someone will break
your neck
You don't know how
To soak my soul
Let me out
Let me go Open your eyes
You told nothing but lies
Please go down, please
C'mon, go down with
your ego
Take me down to a
higher ground
To survive your
mindless sound
If you know all the people
Why are you alone ?
If you know all the people
You'll be goin' down
Let me go ahead
let me go
SOLO
I will find
an explanation
Where's my only
destination
Separated ways
now and forever
Is the one and only
measure
Tales full of
exaggerations
No more manipulations
And I think you are
not funny
Your brain is just a
bloated dummy
Take me down to a
higher ground
To survive your
mindless sound
If you know all the people
Why are you alone ?
If you know all the people
You'll be goin' down
@SONG: Perfect gentleman
3'53" Deris-Weikath
There is no doubt about it
I'm one of a kind, baby
I am le d'Artagnan de coeur
As you may see, candy
And I'm talkin with my eyes
And I walk in different styles
I'm the genuine man !
Yes I am
I am a perfect gentleman
Yes I am
I am a perfect gentleman
Kneel down, inhale my odor
Come, kiss my hand, angel
Dare to explore my higher
grounds
Strike to deserve me,
ma cherie
And my winds
surpass perfume
I'm charismatic at full bloom
I'm the genuine man !
Yes I am
I am a perfect gentleman
Yes I am
I am a perfect gentleman
Yes I am, I am, yes I am
(perfect)
SOLO
Oh Lord, what can I do ?
I can't resist my own
reflection
How would possibly anyone ?
Cause I am (perfect)
Yes I am (perfect)
oh Lord, I am (perfect)
Yes I am
I am a perfect gentleman
Yes I am
I am a perfect gentleman
@SONG: The game is on
4'40" Weikath
Have you seen
this little toy
When you're down
it gives you joy
You escape reality
Delive into this TV
screen
For the rich and for
the poor
For the even more
secure
Doesn't matter where
you are,
Where you go or where
you've been
Well, there's still no
guarantee
For your virgin mind,
you see
Just go on and play
The game
You will surely go
insane
The game is on
And you have gone
Gone to a world
on its display
And the game is fun
But when it has won
All you ever hear is
what it says
There's a great
amount of fumes
Coming out from
somebody's room
The firemen got
there
Making thair way
up the stairs
Find a man in a chair
But it doesn't seem
he's there
With a grey box
in his hands
He has gone to
another land
The game is on
And you have gone
Gone to a world
on its display
And the game is fun
But when it has won
All you ever hear is
what it says
SOLO
You have played it much
too long
Now your senses get
things wrong
All your walls come
crashing down
Now it's time
for you to frown
How d'you like this
heavy load ?
Guess your brain will
soon explode
You never had this
ugly feel
@SONG: Secret alibi
5'49" Weikath
Piece by piece you're
tearin'me apart
Give to me and try
another start
Brick by brick you
really love that game
Things from wich I
can't refrain
So many stories have
been told
I give a damn,
there're much too old
Ho often will we face
the end of our
dreams ?
When will I see it
all come true ?
A splendid time
for me and you
Can we expect it bein'
nice at it seems ?
Will you be
my secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right ?
Let's just try each
others love so sweet
Till we can't deny
My secret alibi
Ding by ding can you
dig my dong
It may come short
but it might come long
Limb by limb you're
climbing up my tree
Making things more
fun for me
So many stories I've
been told
I give a damn, they're
much too old
How often will we face
the end of our dreams ?
When will I see it
all come true ?
A splendid time
for me and you
Can we expect it bein'
nice at it seems ?
Will you be
my secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right ?
Let's just try each
others love so sweet
Till we can't deny
My secret alibi
SOLO
Will you be
my secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right ?
Let's just try each
others love so sweet
Till we can't deny
My secret alibi
@SONG: Take me home
4'25" Grapow
Now I'm here all alone
Takin' care of my own
Down in no man's land
Got no friend got no dime
Only plenty of time
Where's the saving hand ?
I got that feeling to need
more and more atention
That is fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make
more than conversation
That is the fever,
where's my home ?
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
It's not true - what you see
Behind that mask that's not me
Try to reach my world
Can't you see I'm so blind
Stay with me to change my mind
No more nightmares, girl
I got that feeling to need
more and more atention
That is fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make
more than conversation
That is the fever,
where's my home ?
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
SOLO
I got that feeling to need more
and more atention
That is fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make more
than conversation
That is the fever,
Where's my home ?
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
@SONG: In the middle of a heartbeat
4'30" Deris-Weikath
Tell me pretty girl, do
you know who I am ?
Have you ever seen me
as your friend ?
Anything we have is
those hungry nights
But there's so much
left unsatisfied
All those little things
you told me
Ain't good enough to
show me
That we're gonna make
it through the time
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat
And I know that I'm
doin' rightI found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat
And I know I'm
doin' right
Together we are still
so far apart
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat
and the more I try to
be your light
I can't get any closer
to your heart
Now that I'm afraid
just to ask for more
I'm still waiting
as I did before
If you only said that
it's not too late
We could then rely
won our safe
All those little things
you'd tell me
Could bear enough to
show me
That we're gonna make
it through the time
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat
And I know I'm
fellin' right
Together we are still
so far apart
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat
and the more I try
to be your light
I can't get any closer
to your heart
SOLO
I found out
I found out
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat
And I know I'm
doin' right
Together we are still
so far apart
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat ...
@SONG: Still we go
5'09" Grapow
In the beginning
Out of nowhere
We had a dream
And now it's
Helloween
Speed up to higer limit
Change gear, we're losin' our spirit
We won't take your speciad advice
We are close to a metal breakdown
Sirens to warn of our meltdown
We couldn't see that headline
Now we can see a horizon
We're gonna be here to stay
If you cannot see our sign
You must be blind
Still we go
Still we go
Still we go
On the metal highway
Still we go
Warn out, won't die on our knees
Shine on, poud as we can be
Time has come to stop pleasing you
Hey man, let's get it together
Our strength will last forever
Push us as far as we can go
Now we can see a horizon
We're gonna be here to stay
If you cannot see our sign
You must be blind
Still we go
Still we go
Still we go
On the metal highway
Still we go
SOLO
How many times must a man cross the lines
To find his right away
Still we go
Still we go
Still we go
On the metal highway
Still we go
