1. "Tales of Titans"

We gather once again – Where the story never ends – Come hear us now.
Step Up! Drink from our cup – This grail that we hold high.
Darkness surrenders to our Light – We illuminate the night.
Draw near! Our fire keeps you strong – And listen to the magic tales of Avalon.

We march as Resurrected Faith – Come take our hands.
Rainmakers! Groundshakers! On the frozen Hinterlands.
We are the Citizens of Shock – Defenders of the Rock on which you stand.
Ride with us now – Rise up! Rise up and understand.

True Believers – Redeemers – Triumphant Kings and Healers –
Our Songs of Victory fill these halls –
We come to win the fight then set our sails –
But one day we shall return to tell our Tales – of Titans...

Tales of Titans.

We are the Keepers of the Keys – To the answers in your mind –
We release all humankind which tramples there – We purify the air.
We keep you safe – Deep inside our castle’s care –
While you sleep – We lay our golden challis on your hair.

No fortress which you cleave can keep you clean –
No thought – no deed – no uttered word obscene –
No substance which may cause a fall from grace –
No drowning pool of faithless heartless dreams –
No wickedness – no siren’s call – no screams –
No failure to defend God’s holy place –
No theft of any secrets you may find –
No weakness in your body or your mind –
No reluctance – no excuses – no disgrace –

Tales of Titans.

2. "Rain"

Stranded again – texting a friend –
I don’t even know where to begin –
A promise was spoken – a covenant broken –
A Quixote without any wind.

How Long... How Long Do I Stand in the Rain?
How Long... How Long Do I Stand in the Rain?
How Long... How Long?

My son goes to war – I can’t tell you what for –
In the sands of the far Middle East.
Alone in his home – I stare at the phone –
Are we serving the king or the beast?
As I turn the next page – I discover that age –
Can’t keep me contented and warm.
So I dance with myself – put my mind on the shelf –
And stand in the eye of the storm.

How Long... How Long Do I Stand in the Rain?
How Long... How Long Do I Stand in the Rain?
How Long... How Long Do I Stand in the Rain?
How Long... How Long?

3. "Scream"

I can’t sleep at night – am I losing my sight?
I sweat and I turn – images burn –
Apprehension – tension – my search for redemption –
Addiction – reason – loyalty – treason –

I stare in the mirror – reflections of fear –
I can’t face what I see – I can’t face me –
Inescapable dreams – quicksand scenes –
But I can’t wake up – And all I do is Scream...

Falling down the stairs –
Run my fingers through my hair –
Pull myself to my feet – And all I do is Scream...
I know what this means – I’ve got to get myself clean –
But I can’t wake up... And all I do is Scream...

They all wander in – to witness my sin –
A family convention – my own intervention –
They tell me it’s time – am I losing my mind?
I see no way out – the shadows of doubt –

Pull me back in the well – my personal hell –
A smile from the Trickster – he’s finding my fix here –
Sickening dreams – suicide scenes –
But I can’t wake up – And all I do is Scream...

Falling down the stairs –
Run my fingers through my hair –
I look in the mirror – And all I do is Scream –
I know what this means – I’ve got to get myself clean –
But I can’t wake up... And all I do is Scream...
All I do is Scream...

4. "Under the Ruins"

I sit and watch the tide flow – Under the Ruins –
And remember gleaming cities – filled with Truth –
Where shining castle walls – rise up after the fall –
To resurrect the heroes of my youth.

We’ve waited far too long here – Under the Ruins –
As leaders we believed in – faded away.
We fell asleep – but now it’s time to rise up and keep –
The covenant of hope for a brand new day.

I see a New City – a fortress of chrome and steel –
A shiny New City – where faith and belief are still real.

Built to stand – a testament on the land –
‘Cause a New Moon is rising soon –
From Under the Ruins.

I grew weary and watched my life flow – Under the Ruins.
Addiction – my affliction – wasted my soul.
Painful medication – to graceful meditation –
An epiphany given to me – for free.

We wait for The King to rise up – from Under the Ruins –
To lead us from what we are – to what we will be.
Repaint the moon and the stars – guide us home, wherever we are –
And lift our twisted souls – to transcendency.

I see a New City – A shiny New City –
From Under the Ruins – Under the Ruins...

5. "Avalon"

Avalon... Avalon...

Lately I’ve been thinking about you and me –
And how twisted life’s become in our society.

Where the man who lends a hand runs the risk of being branded –
As a faker... risk taker... a nightly newsmaker.

The disturbing, wasted psyches with their lawyers, guns, and Nikes –
Are just so many herds of swine.

In godless times, the wicked shine –
The ‘you-get-yours’ and ‘I’ll-get-mines’ –
Are robbing all our children’s minds.

Avalon... Avalon...

As the Earth and Moon keep turning, little ones keep learning –
All the hatred, fear, and prejudice they’re taught.

We forever lost the feeling of this nation truly healing –
Bullets tore through the heart of Kennedy’s Camelot.

The End of Paradise was seen when Arthur’s barge with his three queens
Sailed forth – disappearing in the dawn.

But we may yet grasp one last chance to circumvent this circumstance –
And reinvent our innocence in Avalon.

Avalon... Avalon...

Remove these shackles – set us free –
From this dark-age technocracy –
Faith brings us healing –
When love keeps revealing her song –
Back to the Island of Avalon.

Avalon... Avalon...

6. "Disillusion Man"

Don’t know what I ought to say.
Always seems, I’m in the way.

Gotta face the music now,
But I just choose to walk away.

Ooh Disillusion Man... Ooh Disillusion Man...

Hung up on this misery –
Is it you, or is it me?

Can’t put my finger on it –
It’s here and then it’s gone.

It’s never been a simple plan –
This situation’s out of hand.

Ooh Disillusion Man... Ooh Disillusion Man...

It’s painful when I think of you.
What you said, and what I did not do.

Ooh Disillusion Man... Ooh Disillusion Man...

7. "Jargonnot"

Instrumental

8. "Majesty"

They stand across an empty field
No victory, no empty shield.
They see the fire of faith in a thousand eyes,
No end of days, no end of lies.

Called out for those we were sent to save
In their ruined cities and abandoned caves.
Called up from the mists of time and space
In a distant land, another time and place.

We cannot see and they’ll never know
What leads them here, where no one else will go.
No faithless hearts will survive the past
Where dreams go to die and the first are last.

We cannot speak or save or bless them.
They cast their lot and the demons let them.
Crawled out, and cried for mercy.
They hoped for better, and wandered thirsty.

Please your Majesty–We seek the light–We seek the light.

No fear will paralyze us.
No compromise, no idle threats.
We won’t turn away from what we know is right,
We seek the light (we seek the light).

We charge, for faith and peace.
We stand and fight for the old beliefs.
You cannot shake, overtake or move us.
All your empty promises are useless.

We move and we fight as one,
There is no other way, we’ll never break or run.
We hold for power, truth and glory.
We sing the songs, we tell the stories.

Some came to know – some found belief.
Those who didn’t just came to grieve
For all the sacred souls in Avalon.
We rage against the dawn.

Please your Majesty–We seek the light–We seek the light.

In time you give us all that we need –
We’ll follow your son, we will fight, we will bleed.
We give our hearts and our minds,
Majesty, bring the light–bring the light–We seek the light.

Please your Majesty–We seek the light–We seek the light.

No fear will paralyze us.
No compromise, no idle threats.
We won’t turn away from what we know is right,
We seek the light (we seek the light).

We charge, for faith and peace.
We stand and fight for the old beliefs.
You cannot shake, overtake or move us.
All your empty promises are useless.

9. "Step Up"

All your life, you’ve been blinded –
A selfish man – always first.

And now you’ve grown – I’m reminded –
Life is hunger – heart is thirst.

Take a Step Up – Baby...
Step Up – Maybe it’s waiting for you – To do.

Innocence is gone – you’re left with reason.
You picked your partner – a flawless game.

The stage is set – the winning season –
But the candle never sees the flame.

Why don’t you take a Step Up? Baby...
Step Up – The world’s not waiting for you –
What you tryin’ to do?

The sun has set – winter came.
But the candle never caught the flame.

Why don’t you take a Step Up? Baby...
Step Up – The world’s not waiting for you –

Just to take a Step Up – Baby...
Step Up – Maybe it’s waiting for you –

Baby... Step Up –

10. "Prologue"

Instrumental

11. "The Gate"

Angels in white, suddenly appear.
Silent as clouds, wrapped in the shrouds of winter.

We’ll never see, blinded by pride and greed.
We fail to believe, our wasted reprieves fall to sorrow.

Repeat – Repeat – One Karma – No Illusions.

At the Gate – At the Gate of I Am.

We wandered too far – treated love like some game.
Our egos denied – our children just cry as we waste away.

We should have known – we should have seen –
Peace beyond dreams – what it all means – that it’s not in vain.

Repeat... Repeat... One Karma... No Illusions...

At the Gate – At the Gate of I Am.

Interlude

12. "Epilogue"

We fail to believe... Yet we’re forgiven...

Walk with me now... Dry all your tears...

Come walk by my side... Lay with me in the summer rain...

No care and no fear... We’re here for Eternity...

Release... Release... One Karma... No Illusion...
