Battalions of Fear (1988)

 * Come to it's world following the sign Guardian, guardian, guardian of the blind Give us the help, we're waiting for your sign Guardian, guardian, guardian of the blind
 * Guardian of the Blind

Follow the Blind (1989)

 * Follow the blind Your journey, your last hope, it can begin These passing dreams were real no fantasy There are more things than we know Come take my hand
 * Follow the Blind


 * Valhalla - Deliverance Why've you ever forgotten me?
 * Valhalla

Tales from the Twilight World (1990)

 * Too much, too much you cannot pay with your silver and your gold there's just a little chance to save the wizard's life there's just a little chance for all you fools now pay
 * The Last Candle

Somewhere Far Beyond (1992)

 * I am lost in the black chamber There's no way to turn back It takes me down forevermore And death would be so sweet I'm possessed by the old creature Who has planned all To take my soul Too late for me In my hands It lies I thought But I failed Now he's in me My soul is lost In his black chamber I'm gone
 * Black Chamber


 * Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain
 * The Bard's Song (In the Forest)




 * In my thoughts and in my dreams They're always in my mind These songs of hobbits, dwarfs and men And elves Come close your eyes You can see them too
 * The Bard's Song (In the Forest)

Imaginations from the Other Side (1995)

 * Do you know if Merlin did exist Or Frodo wore the ring Did Corum kill the gods Or where's the wonderland Which young Alice had seen Or was it just a dream I knew the answers Now they're lost for me
 * Imaginations from the Other Side


 * I hope there is a way back With my talisman So I look into myself Into the days when I was just a child Come follow me to wonderland And see the tale that never ends Don't fear the lion nor the witch I can't come back I'm lost but still I know There is another world
 * Imaginations from the Other Side


 * Listen crowd I'll tell you everything Though I have to say I don't know much Talking about a past And future secret Most call him once And future king Far back in the past I saw his ending Long before it started I knew his name He's the one who took the sword Out of the stone It's how that ancient tale began I hear it in the cold winds
 * A Past and Future Secret


 * Still I hear the scream of thousands: Crucify, crucify!!! Take it all Our gold, our homes, our life, But we didn't kill your Christ!! Reach out for your holy grail Enslave us and make us Your god's sacrifice!!
 * The Script for My Requiem




 * I'm not a king I'm just a bard How can I trust If there is good and bad The wounds of life They will remain At least I found a friend
 * And the Story Ends

Nightfall in Middle-Earth (1998)

 * I had a part in everything Twice I destroyed the light and twice I failed I left ruin behind me when I returned But I also carried ruin with me She, the mistress of her own lust
 * War of Wrath


 * Nightfall Quietly it crept in and changed us all.
 * Nightfall


 * How long shall we mourn in the dark? The bliss and the beauty will not return Say farewell to sadness and grief Though long and hard the road may be
 * Nightfall


 * So I stand still In front of the crowd Excited faces What will be next? I still don't have a clue
 * The Minstrel


 * I've heard the warning! Well curse my name I'll keep on laughing No regret No regret
 * The Curse of Fëanor


 * The moon, the sign of hope It appeared when we left the pain of the ice-desert behind We faced up to the curse and endured misery Condemned we are We brought hope, but also lies, and treachery
 * Face the Truth


 * Oh lord here I stand Suddenly everything's gone For all Noldor From now on my life Is my gift to you Just lead my fate To the victory Of elves
 * Battle of Sudden Flame




 * Lord of all Noldor A star in the night And a bearer of hope He rides into his glorious battle alone Farewell to the valiant warlord
 * Time Stands Still (At the Iron Hill)


 * High's the fee Soon my spirit will return Welcome dawn Your light will take me home
 * The Eldar


 * Thus he died Nom the Wise Lord of the caves and friend of man Fair, and noble Most beloved of the Noldor race Paid the price, he redeemed the oath Farewell my friend, farewell
 * Nom the Wise


 * Out on the water The island of the dead that live There they dwelt Until they left the world and Still their deeds live forth in songs
 * Out on the Water


 * Now truly I am king of the world Master of fate Damned shall thy house be Thou shall not question my power Nor shall thou defy me further
 * The Steadfast


 * Thus ends the fifth battle By the treachery of men the field is lost The night falls and great is the triumph of evil The league is broken The last vestige of hope lives in the hidden king Only he troubles the dark one's mind Only he could bring ruin to the black foe Though the land lies down in agony and the curse lives on A new star shall arise And a new day shall come, again
 * Final Chapter (Thus Ends...)

A Night at the Opera (2002)

 * I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem Deny my love but you can't change fate
 * Precious Jerusalem




 * Proudly it stands Until the world's end The victorious banner of love
 * The Maiden and the Minstrel Knight


 * Day after day we've been fixed in this bowl for so long For ages we're captured in shells and crystallized walls
 * Age of False Innocence


 * Well we all know there's no other side It's good and evil I know right between, there's no borderline This is the punishment divine
 * Punishment Divine


 * May my weary soul find release for a while At the moment of death I will smile
 * And Then There Was Silence


 * Still the wind blows Calm and silent Carries news from a distant shore
 * And Then There Was Silence

A Twist in the Myth (2006)

 * And from the sea you'll feel me And then you'll breathe out gently: Leave me
 * Lionheart


 * Your soul's like water but Your fate is like the wind
 * The New Order

At The Edge of Time (2010)

 * Let them curse my name On these bloodstained pages of misery Let them call me a tyrant so cruel Let them curse my name but remember the truth
 * Curse My Name
