This is the story of a man In a magic land Full of arcane mysteries and powers Who summoned the powers Of the arcane force To protect his homeland from the evil Mage of the Hellspell Mounted his winged steed Hands glowing bright of magic light Rode off into the sparkling dawn Skies of dragonlight, a new horizon One of hope and power Skies of dragonlight up in the night Great Star will rise again This man, he summoned the magic Dragon of ancient might From the northern land of the crystal sea Eternal starlight And flew off in search of Answers to the chaos Immortal curse of the Hellspell Over mountains and trees Valleys and vales he soared To save the world of the free I must fight to be free from the everlasting pain To buy back the light again
3.
It’s the curse of the Hellspell Fire in the fading sky Midnight is falling And the dead arise Evil is a game And I will play it well Beware my unholy locket Of my burning spell We need a hero to ride in and save the day Cause the night is falling and we waste away There is no magic in our galaxy That can overtake This evil mage The immortal curse of the Hellspell I pull back starlight Have mercy on no land The power’s mine And is in my undead hand You will die You will die You will die Will someone ever break this dark rage Or will the Great Star die What is that I will conquer? The mage of darkness For you my kin I will fight I will die I will bring back the light Fight for your home!
4.
Over dunes and vales I will fly away In search of the mage of darkness and despair Mighty wings of ruby I will ride In a desert town of the east Far east I met an elder travel guide Riding high Riding fast Stories will guide my path I must find I must end “That worthless, evil mage!” On wings of arcane magic I will search high and low Asking and following The tales of times of old Moonlight And starlight Though dying it will light my way To the distant home Of this evil one Who will fall by my pure-hearted hand For the love of them all Now off to the ancient realm of lore Of the elves and spires Pipes and lyres I was told of Greetings, have you seen him Do you know a myth or two That might help me On my quest for him To free the whole of you In elven tongue he told me about a mystic key Once known but buried deep within The dark-sea-dynasty Riding high Riding fast Stories will guide my path I must find I must end “That stupid, brazen thief!”
5.
In an eastern land I met my love While on the road to find the mage Face so pure Elven ears graced Hair so fine, lips so smooth I met her on the roadside, her cloak was torn Battered and scared, “Goblins,” she said At first, she seemed a bit unsure of me I knew I had to do something So, I took her hand in mine The sun shone down on her face I said, it will be alright I see something special in your eyes I will be there when you fall Every trial we’ll face together And when you are lost I will come for you and help you carry on So she traveled by my side, all the while Talking of her forest home of trees of gold We talked and we laughed And I couldn’t see this journey without her When she smiled it lit up my soul Through the past and the pain we were bold So I said it will be alright Every time you laugh the little light left shines Along the road came a sign And I knew I’d have to go down south To the dying waste Of that wicked mage And I said, I don’t know if you should come But then I heard her say: "I will be there when you fall" 'Cause that's what I'd do for love

Goblin Eyes 04:27
Tonight there’s war in the south I found him here With my sword by my side I will not fear Mage - "You think you can defeat the magic mage of darkness Well, sadly you are going to pay a price for that Young lad, can’t you see the people in my locket I torture them day and night for rising to fight!" Goblin eyes Staring down your mortal mind Your demise Mage of darkness, cave of lies Goblin eyes!

Till Then 04:35
Here I sit on this cold floor Pondering my fate Is it worth all the pain that I’ll endure Cause now I’m lost in the stars Alone, deep inside I know that No one will hear me call But then I hear her calling And I know deep in my soul I must fight to be free from the everlasting pain To buy back the light again And I will die if I must But until then You are my love Now I think back to the days Of searching for that man Was he worth you my love Will I ever see you again Alone, but I know I must Will the memories of my soul Warm your heart once again Or will this ice that I sleep in tonight Keep the warmth from your heart Am I too lost to remember Am I too far to reach my goal Was the power in me Not enough to defeat The powers of the other world
9.
I’m the father of all insight Keeper of magic wisdom I am here to call you To fight for your Great Planet’s freedom I know, O spirit, I tried With all my power and my skill Now I’m banished to oblivion So show me power if you will Learn the ways of magic light Word in the night Hear the prophesies foretell You I'm the ghost of the Galactic Wizard of all secrets Holy wisdom hidden in my soul Come to you in your peril and your agony Now listen to my words And fight! I have watched you search and fight For the hope of the dying light Now come with me, O mortal man I will show you the way To the crystal cave Ghost - “See now the path to the hall Of the guardian crystal, it will be long See the mage in his route to its ageless tomb Of the crystal dragon who sacrificed for us all.” Learn the ways of the mage’s plans Woe to him tonight Hear the whispers of the spirit To you
10.
All my life I've dreamed about the Tales of ancient prophesies Wondering if I possibly could be The hero for us, everyone is Searching for the one who will bring back the light Now I have heard and seen a vision Telling me to rise and fight I am the one, I’m on a mission My power-sword is shining bright I see now the mage in the crystal hall My destiny is burning brighter Tonight, with my sword and the powers of the wizard I bring back the light For the sake of the star and its magic rays With the ancients I raise my voice I battle for destiny of starlight and of hope Battle the mage In the battle for eternal starlight Swords flying, but I will not dare doubt my goal His spells and his potions will not stand long Though he will fight me, he will not prevail For the lightning of immortal power is burning in my soul I see now the mage cast a spell at me My desire is holding tighter Tonight, with my sword and the powers of the wizard I end the Hellspell’s reign For the sake of the star and its magic rays With the ancients I raise my voice I battled for the destiny of starlight and of hope Battle no more The mage is no more Dragonlight shines brighter for us all
11.
I walk alone Just me and my love And gaze out at the star rising The star for which I fought I’ve been through it all Fire, ice and much more But as I look back at my love I know this in my heart: I would do it again For the Great Star is worth it Heroes are born And heroes die But the light will always prevail So I will fight Hold on if I must I will stand tall through the storm For the sake of my Great Star Starlight will always live on
