      Long-long years passed since the wise old man escaped. The power of evil forces grew even more barbarous as time went by, and the few who were strong enough to resist subservience were instinctively driven to seek the knowledge that might lead them to a better future.
      During his long, lonesome exile, WISEMAN found peace in the depths of a long forgotten, mystical forest, knowing that those seeking the truth would soon find him, and then he could teach the ancient thoughts in his book, WORDS OF WISDOM, which was saved from the flames to give the people hope in the engulfing dark ages.

Holy Vagabond
Music: G. Kovacs, Lyrics: M. Molnar
"The soul of man is immortal and imperishable"
/PLATO/


Here where the rain falls
Into the seas
Here where the rainbow
Shines over the trees

Daylight blinds me when I'm
Getting used to the dark
Day by day, when I fall and I rise
I see the world through your eyes

Later these raindrops
Drift for a while
And then again go
Back up to the sky

Twilight blinds me when I'm
Getting used to the light
If you die, then I'll go for a while
Leave your body behind

How many years I have lived
Like a holy vagabond
What kind of life will the future bring me?
How many times I had to feel
That I won't be anymore
Nobody knows my forever wandering soul


Mind that this cycle is
Eager to live
Goes on forever
As long as you believe

Daylight blinds me when I'm
Getting used to the dark
Who'll need me and receive me when I'm
Back again to arise

Chorus


Reduced To Silence
Music: G. Kovacs, Lyrics: M. Molnar
"A man who lives right, and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words"
/PHILLIPS BROOKS/


Close your eyes come and fantasize
Here the story starts
All this may happen anytime
I'll tell you now

When the clouds swimming in the sky
Try to hide the sun
Low fellows, folly in their eyes
Forth as they come

Spiteful and guilty creatures
Multiply, never die
Don't be afraid, the angels
Keep the Wiseman alive

Reduced to silence
Feeling the primal fear
Forevermore
Reduced to silence
He is the final
Calm before the storm


Don't you try to defeat the force
They won't let you go
Don't revolt, 'cause you will behold
The mansion of stone

Watch the walls, the bloody chains to hold
All rebellious
Don't let go, got to keep the hope
Knowledge won't fall

Bridge

Chorus

Renegades, apostates
Look into his eyes
Man of pains never fails
Wisdom never dies


Masquerade
Music: G. Kovacs, Lyrics: M. Molnar
"Hypocrisy is a fashionable vice, and all fashionable vices pass for virtue"
/MOLIERE/


Still many times, I can't recognise
Those who wear evil disguise
Once in a while, they give me a sign
Hits like a bolt from the sky

Watchin' those eyes glowing false
Feelin' the untruth so close
Over and over again
It's sucking my power away

Masquerade

Facing someone, look deep in his eyes
Seems like he tells only lies
So far I thought him best friend of mine
He's like the Father of Lies

Bridge

Masquerade
Masquerade

Beware of all the ravening wolves
Sheeps clothing covers their face
Give you a show and have no remorse
Beware of their charming ways

Bridge

Masquerade
Masquerade
Masquerade


Wisdom
Music: G. Kovacs, Lyrics: M. Molnar
"Let your soul show you the way, let your heart show you the way: Wisdom"
/WISDOM/


Every day I see you're strolling through the streets
Got no aim and you have lost your faith to believe

I want you to hear the same
How sweet the music sounds
I want you to feel the same
Like me, when it starts

Oh, let your soul show you the way
We want more
Wisdommetal is the law we're dying for
Let your heart show you the way
We want more
Wisdommetal is the law!


Trust in me, our show is always true as steel
Time has come to realize that at last we are here

Bridge

Chorus

Everyday I see you strolling through the streets
Take my hands; let's go together fulfil the dreams

Bridge

Chorus


Victory
Music: G. Kovacs, Lyrics: M. Molnar
"Who bravely dares must sometimes risk a fall"
/SENECA/


Hey, you are the king! Take care of our souls
Hey, you ought to see the returning of foes

Once for all, destroy them all!
I know what to do I'm here!
Time for war, fight to the core!
I'll lead you to victory!

You ought to behold the glory you hope
Lies at your feet again
Look death in the face - it's a glorious day
The day of your fame


Hey, you are the king! Take us by your hand
Hey, you ought to be the commander again

Bridge

Chorus

Raise your sword to the course of the future
Lightning goes through the sky
You will know what to do with the power
In the course of time

Chorus


Take Our Soul
Music: G. Kovacs, Lyrics: M. Molnar
"What greater grief than the loss of one's native land"
/EURIPIDES/


Through the Valley of the Kings
Over the bloody rocks
Through the calm eternity
Hearts full of empty hopes

Please lead my Lord
We're searching for our only home
Please lead my Lord, there's nowhere to go

Take our soul

Raise a hue and cry against
All of our enemies
Let the people live again
And be with their families

Please lead my Lord
And give us a chance to behold
Please lead my Lord, there's nowhere to go

Take our soul

Bridge I

Take our soul


Sands Of Time
Music: G. Kovacs, Lyrics: M. Molnar
"Lord, make me to know mine end,
And the measure of my days,
What it is; that I may know
How frail I am"
/OLD TESTAMENT/


Time goes by
Like a fly
Flyin' through the sky
Sands of time
Runnin' out
Make the most of life


Unholy Ghost
Music: G. Kovacs, Lyrics: M. Molnar
"Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall"
/CONFICIOUS/


No one knows why I'm afraid
Why I feel so bad
Oh, I see our destiny
It makes me feel so sad

Unholy Ghost takes away our hopes
I don't want to fall on evil days anymore
Never again, misery and fall
Is it just a dream that I am waiting for?


Oh, my dreams will realize
All the hopes I have
I won't rest, will stand my ground
Until I reach my end

Chorus


Wheels Of The War
Music: G. Kovacs, Lyrics: M. Molnar
"To plunder, to slaughter, to steal, these things they misname empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace"
/CALGACUS/


Although you walk alone
Feel the war inside
Like the pain of holy thunder
Hurts every time

Over the fields you go
Feel it even now
Hear the gunshot, smell the carnage
Why close your eyes

Look to the future pray for all
Pray, the Lord's gonna hear you
Look to the time when winds o'war
Don't blow in the sky

Wheels of the war crash all the more
Yeah, you see men killed by force
Wheels of the war crash all the more
Yeah, you hear them cry

You're hearing screams behind
Never-ending calls
Ghostly voices keep you under
Their grasping hold

Road to Eternity
Calling you away
Like the sirens holy voice, but
Hey, you must wait

Bridge

Wheels of the war crash all the more
Yeah, you see men killed by force
Wheels of the war crash all the more
Yeah, you hear them cry
Wheels of the war crash all the more
Yeah, you feel their life is false
Wheels of the war crash all the more
Oh, you watch them die


Wiseman Said
Music: G. Kovacs, Lyrics: M. Molnar
"You are the master of your life and death. What you do is what you are"
/LAO TZU/


God only knows, they don't leave you alone
All those nightmarish dreams in your head
God speed you boy, if you're leaving your home
Find yourself in this world, be yourself

Wherever you are and he comes to your mind
Just remember the words that he said
"Never say die, got to make up your mind
Be the master of your life 'n death"



Words Of Wisdom
Music: G. Kovacs, Lyrics: M. Molnar
"Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better"
/ALBERT CAMUS/


All of the sins, every useless lie
That we commit keep the evil alive
But we always say there's another way
Never too late, make a change!

See every day empty people are in tears
See every day as they're fallin' into misery
Scream every day "People, what the hell is here?"
Scream every day, but your words give rise to agony

Oaths, too many oaths
Promises we broke
Sins that make us guilty too many times

Never too late, read it today
If you want to change your life, it
Shows you the right way
Never too late, make it today
Words of Wisdom every time will
Show you the right way


See every day they don't practise what they preach
See every day all around the rising heresy
Scream every day "People, what the hell is here"
Scream every day, but your words give rise to anarchy

Yes, you are the same
We are all the same
Words of Wisdom lead me, show me the way

Chorus

Why are we here
In this vale of tears
How can we find what we need?

Chorus

All of the sins, every useless lie
That we commit keep the evil alive
But we always say there's another way
Never too late, make a change!
