Epic 40 minute track from that crazy chart topping summer of 1996.

Prologue:

In a very distant future, the last generation of planet earth has come to a point where they cannot breed anymore. When everybody has lost their faith, a child is born. This child must be a gift from the skies of life-divine.


Lyrics:

Another sky is young.
Another frozen future has passed.
Another breed, another cast.
The rivers will run, brought to life by the sun,
the circle is still unbroken.

Oh, what a sight to see.
Reborn life, destined for all eternity.

Hail the king!
For he has chosen not to drain the godsent child,
a gift from the skies of life divine.
Now we know.
A glimpse of hope grow inside, a change of tide.
Answered prayers of survival.

Miracles.
The offspring of the unknown gods beautifies
the aura of this dying breed.
So they succeed in their quest for continued time.
Celebrate
the knowledge of the everlasting, never-dying.

Cursed to be walking in the shadows of death
for a lifetime.
No more fears for what the years will bring.
Rebuild the shattered dream.
And now a brighter future has come.
Another end remains undone.
And an era begins,
bringing life free from sins.
Oh, it's a token, the circle is broken.

(The drop of blood from her mouth slowly fell down to the ground. The child inside dried her out. The king's beloved is no more.)

The chosen one felt the time had come
to show the world what had grown within.
This day of life,
a sacred moment in time,
when joy and pain collide.

It takes a life to create a life.
Now she's gone.

Anger and hate.
fear and despair fills up his mind.
In search for answers he can't find.
What god would end a life so pure.
She was the one worth dying for.
Alone with princess angel-sent.
Her eyes so blue, my hate relents.
Her destiny is in my hands.
She was born to rule these desert lands.

A sacrifice. A life arises.
When one love has come, another dies.
I let her go and I do not know
where to find her soul so alone.

Oh, does she hold the power?
Is she a blessing from the skies?
Is this the answer to where the secret lies?
And in her eyes I see a light is shining through.
I feel that there is hope for a world so brave and new.

Many seasons have changed
and the king is old and weak.
The princess has come of age,
but still the gift of life they seek.
In the chambers of crimson sleep.
In this vault of souls to reap.
The future lies in the hands of the shrewd
or the earth will die in solitude.

The darkest night,
the enchanted skies were united in a storm.
Unholiness and all that's unblessed
appeared in another form.
Like a raging plague all across the land
all the women gave birth to man.
Raped by the wind and forced to bring life
to the hundred bastard sons.
The unholy ones will give strength for all evil to live
and the fires of death burn high.
The time has come for the king to die.
