Song lyrics
[edit]
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
All lyrics written by Hansi Kürsch.
Battalions of Fear (1988)
[edit]- 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)

Your journey, your last hope, it can begin
These passing dreams were real no fantasy

Tales from the Twilight World (1990)
[edit]- 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)
[edit]- 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 meMy soul is lost
In his black chamberI'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
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits,
dwarfs and men and elves
Come close your eyes
You can see them too
- 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)
[edit]- 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
- 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 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
- 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)
[edit]- 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
A star in the night
And a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord
- 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)
[edit]- 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
Until the world's end
The victorious banner of love
- 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
- Still the wind blows
Calm and silent
Carries news from a distant shore- And Then There Was Silence
A Twist in the Myth (2006)
[edit]- 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)
[edit]- 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
