ASHES OF EDEN ALBUM LYRICS:STORM WARNING(Music & Lyrics : Erik Cameron)In the Valley of the WindThe lonely dead will rise againA child's soul risen to the stormAnd in the clouds she was rebornThe voices of their dead are carriedOn the wind that blowsAnd now they've returned for your soulStorm WarningStorm WarningA spirit much too young to leaveNow rides the storm forever freeBy your window whispered pleasCome leave the flesh and run with meOpen the door and she'll take you awayAnd with her forever you'll stayStorm WarningStorm WarningRun with the thunder And sail past the starsWith your own wings it's never too farStorm WarningStorm WarningCRYSTAL SKY(Music: E. and Chris Cameron, Lyrics: Andy Dracons Giardina)Our green Mother embraced by the skyIn eternal foresight of what the future holdsHe is the Adversary to be overcome by the AceThe secret is to make the two into oneOn the blue horizon a new star is bornAbove the skies of this battlezoneKali Yuga approaching the endThe end is approaching and it's coming to stayI see the Angel of fireRiding up the spiralInto the eye of the moonTowards the Crystal SkyAnd the world keeps on burning away To pierce through the veil that separates the worldsWith the blade of transparency, the Third Eye is openingI see the Unifying One, of the four heads and scarlet wingsGreat Angel of Judgment and Binder of DragonsOn the blue horizon a new star is bornAbove the skies of this battlezoneSon of man I ask of you powerful visionsTo see us across this abyss of liesSee all the Angels of fireRiding up the spiralWatching the world fade awayInto the Crystal SkyMoving into a new dimensionI see the Angel of fireRiding up the spiralInto the eye of the moonTowards the Crystal SkyAnd the world keeps on burning away See all the Angels of fireRiding up the spiralWatching the world fade awayInto the Crystal SkyMoving into a new dimensionFROZEN IN TIME(Music: E. and C. Cameron, Lyrics: A. Dracons Giardina)Red Dragon rising stands guard at the gatesEnthroned in a palace of crystalsThe lies that are buried where the road never endsAt the beginning of timeHe who is to come again is the Keeper of the WayEyes of the Sphynx are the wings of tomorrowRide the wings of the futureRide the wings of tomorrowKeep your heads low in case the sky should fall on our headsTower of death hovers ahead, over yonderWho will be the one to avenge the nameWhen we have to descend into HadesDeath in Hell is resurrection unto lifeAnd frozen in time we are waitingDoors of time are opening in the gloom of the dayChained to the aeons the Angel is trying to break freeAnd what were you doing with the Guardian of the Grail?Riding the waves of time?Ride the wings of the futureRide the wings of tomorrowKeep your heads low in case the sky should fall on our headsTower of death hovers ahead, over yonderWho will be the one to avenge the nameWe will have to descend into HadesDeath in Hell is resurrection unto lifeAnd frozen in time we are waitingLet me be the One to avenge the nameWhen we have to descend into HadesDeath in Hell for resurrection unto lifeAnd frozen in time we are waitingTEARS OF THE WORLD (Lacrimae Mundi)(Music: E. Cameron, Lyrics: A. Dracons Giardina)There is a light at the end of the tunnelIt's just a dragon that is waiting to strikeNo pleas for mercy to be heard todayAngel of the Dark is watching every move we makeThere are those who will let you inBury the word and the hour until you've seenAwaiting the seventh glow in the 13th hourMan still walks in fear down this street of broken dreamsTears of woe are falling downThe tears of the worldSolitude is just a song and you are never really aloneThe sadness of the worldIs screaming out my nameTearing through the open wounds and the eyes of the unbornTears of woe are falling downThe tears of the worldSolitude is just a tune and you are never really aloneThe sadness of the worldIs screaming out my nameTearing through the open wounds and the eyes of the unbornAngel of DarknessContemplates the nightSet to destroyThe bringers of lightLacrimae MundiFalling like rainHEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS(Music & Lyrics: Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice, from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar)IN REMEMBRANCE (9\u002F11\u002F01)(Music: E. Cameron, Lyrics: A. Dracons Giardina)Even a King is not indestructible after allAlways paid heed to the warningsBut one dark nightThe philosopher magician yieldedTo the red eye of the dragonWatch his spirit rise with the whirlwindWisdom rides on brave wings of remembranceAnd we are all sworn to the questWhite halls of splendor and statues of goldFading away into hazeThe philosopher magician yieldedTo the red eye of the dragonAnd these castles can't endure the shockAncient statues gazing out toward distant horizonsThe spirit always strives to reach higherWisdom rides on brave wings of remembranceAnd we are all sworn to the questWhite halls of splendor and statues of goldMemories starting to fadeAwayWe are calling you back through the veils of the AgesTo be by our side once againJustice rides on cold winds of rebellionAnd we are all born in the whirlwindWhy won't you join us to seek what was lostI tell you the end is not farFor some it's the sweet taste of vengeance on the rocks that killsFor others the desire to do it againAnd againAGAINTHE GATEKEEPER(Music: E. & C. Cameron, Lyrics: A. Dracons Giardina)For the keepers of time now the well has run dryand the hour glass shattered to piecesIn the void are the faceless expressions of fearThat will chase you into your next lifetimeSome will sayThat there is no timeTo keep the ball rollingBut even when you've lost the gameYou can still pick yourself up for another roundOpener of the gates Is standing aloneWatching in the ShadowsIn the hour of darkness where evil awaitsThe guardian of the threshold sent to keep the courseAvatar of the piscean age moving into AquariusThe Way of the Father traversed by the SpiritThe secret well hidden in just retributionSome will sayThat there is no timeTo keep the ball rollingBut even when you've lost the gameYou can still pick yourself up for another roundThe Opener of the gates Is standing aloneWatching in the ShadowsAs the hour of darkness approaches the endThe guardian of the threshold sent to keep the courseThe opening of the way for these burning soulsSome will sayThat there is no timeTo keep the ball rollingBut even when you've lost the gameYou can still pick yourself up for another roundOpener of the gates Is standing aloneHe's watching in the ShadowsIn the hour of darkness where evil awaitsThe guardian of the threshold sent to keep the courseAvatar of the piscean age has entered AquariusSHADOW OF THE SUN(Music: E. Cameron, Lyrics: A. Dracons Giardina)Burning bright upon my eyesThe vision in blackCame here to show me the way to the pastIn doubt I cleanse my mindAnyway I canI don't believe in the words of the serpentsKeep away from me, I have found my peaceIn the shadow of the sun where the birds will singRuby star breaks out the dawnAs the shadows fallSome distant planet where life still growsIn the darkness I close my eyes waiting for the sunRed Giant lives on giving life to ALLSo keep away from me cause I have found my peaceIn the shadow of the sun where the children never sleepDreams of hope crumble into dustAs you walk tomorrow's footstepsBut you can't let it drag you downYou' re always waiting for someone to give you a chanceAnd some are needed to spur man onTo be redeemed at the end of the roadNo more doubts I've freed my mindFrom your wall of liesNever took for granted a word you saidSo keep away from me and the place I liveIt's the shadow of the sun where the birds always singDon't waste your time with the lies that you tell yourselfYou'll never return to your land of dreamsAnd you can't let it drag you downYou're always waiting for someone to give you a chanceWINDS OF WAR(Music: E. Cameron, Lyrics: A. Dracons Giardina)Consecrated to the sun and rising with the wind Conquering the tide of fear we were born to be aliveOn the way back to the center we'll stop for nobodyIf you want to live forever better find something to doYou can tell me that there's nothing leftIn this world to make your ownAnd the winds keep blowing, the winds of warSo tell me where are we to go?Those who remember the oathAre waiting for the tide to turnAnd he who knows the secrets of the voidWill be the one to laugh in the face of deathBut you can't tell meThat there's nothing wrongto call this world your ownWhile the winds keep blowing, the winds of warWhere do you want us to go?And you can tell meThat there's nothing leftTo call this world your ownStill the winds keep blowing, the winds of warNow reap all the seeds that you've sownBut you can't tell me that there's nothing going onIn this world to make your ownWhile the winds keep blowing, the winds of warWhen will you leave us alone ?????
