Music and Lyrics: Avadan

The Dragon had three sons, the second one was me
Held hostage as a little boy, that saved my destiny
Hunyadi slayed my family, devoided of my rights
My captors are my refuge
With traitors still in sight

I laid my claim with occupants, but that’s not what I want
The time will come and I will move to free and rule my land
Wallachia free of Ottomans, conspirators and thieves
A Lord of revolution
With blood trail on my sleeves

[Bridge]

Accused by throne of Hungary of lack of faith to king
The Saxons in my back yard pressuring against me
Pushed and cornered in my home they will know what I mean
Imprison and exterminate
I wiped my country clean

[Chorus]

The world speaks of my cruelty
Respect through fear he seizes
“When one is strong and powerful
can make peace as he pleases”

I took against the Ottomans, from Danube pushed them back
The Sultan I did not arrest when I launched the attack
The rest of Europe just observed, they will not wage a war
The Sultan finally took his claim
when I became a Lord

[Bridge]

A silent morning in Targoviste the Sultan troops walk in
An eerie forest lies ahead, three thousand acres green
Their warrior hearts all frozen with every step that day
Men, mothers and infants
on stakes lifeless they lay

[Solo: Brett]

[Chorus]

The world speaks of my cruelty
No mercy for defendants
The stakes I put my enemies on
The stakes of independence

I am Vlad
The Impaler Lord

Music and Lyrics: Avadan

Welcome to our theater
The story now begins
The mystery is unfolding
As you look behind the scenes
Clowns, jesters and prostitutes
Parading through your eyes
The twists and plots fly all around
Unveiling webs of lies

[Bridge]

Watch people rushing to their jobs
Pretending they don’t see
They hear and feel, sense everything
And hurt like you and me

[Chorus]

Full moon rising (x3)
Bright Light
Full moon rising (x3)
Tonight

Incompetents and mediocres
Plundering your honey
No place for humanistic values
It’s the age of money
The Iron Race is ruling now
Scheming, faking, falter
You chose them—or not; can you know?
You’re lamb brought to the altar

[Bridge]

You’re free to buy and spend but
Don’t you dare you’re free to think
Procrustean ways for liberties
The dream’s a travesty

[Chorus]

Full moon rising (x3)
Bright Light
Full moon rising (x3)
Tonight

[Solos: Brett – Lou]

[Bridge]

You’re free to buy and spend but
Don’t you dare you’re free to think
Procrustean ways for liberties
The dream’s a travesty

[Chorus]

Full moon rising (x3)
Bright Light
Full moon rising (x3)
Tonight

See the moon come in the sky
The signs are here, the people cry
The cleansing light will fill the night
It shines for all, the time is right

Full moon rising (x3)
Tonight

Music and Lyrics: Avadan

There’s a thing that hides in darkness
Where no one ever sees
Away from sun and daylight
I do always as I please
Uncontrollable, undetected
Right in front of your eyes
But even watching carefully
Won’t show you shape or size

[Bridge]

Show me who you are!
I’m here in plain sight
And what is that you do!
I’m capable of everything

[Chorus]

Now you’re awaken to disregard… or to harken
If you don’t know what to call me
Call me the Kraken.

I am there when you are happy-happy
I am there when you cry
I am there from the moment you are born
And I am there when you die
I’m the drive behind your entity
Your hopes, desires, and fears
The fuel of your sentiments
The knots behind your tears

[Bridge]

Show me who you are!
I’m here in plain sight
And what is that you do!

[Solos: Lou – Brett – Lou]

There’s a thing that hides in darkness
Where no one ever sees
Away from sun and daylight
I do always as I please
Now you know what this is all about
I’ll be with you till the end
Inseparable to the core
I am your strength, my friend

[Bridge]

Show me who you are!
I’m here in plain sight
And what is that you do!
I’m capable of everything

[Chorus]

Now you’re awaken to lighten… or to darken
All bets are off
When you release the Kraken.

Music and Lyrics: Avadan

They said we’d be the first ones
To fly across the stars
The newest hope of mankind
Rebirth when hope was sparse

Birth given in the empty space
I know it all too well
Four generations came before me
Survivors of the spell

[Solos: Brett – Lou]

[Bridge]

They recall of the seas and oceans
Of the mountains, cities, streets
Now our world is a metal clamshell
And the void beneath our feet
We carry on the spirit of the Earth
We carry all that we are
The only goal is persevere
Eternal travel… forever… far

Knowledge passed upon us
Persists in wired machines
A self-sufficient island
On the stellar edge it leans

Vastness is my backyard
I choose a sun to light my day
A civilization sentinel
Rebuild life come what may

[Bridge]

We’d hear their voices guide us
To warm our hearts, a sign of home
Then silence came and never left
And that was it, we are alone

…In space
…In darkness
…In cosmic cold

[Solos: Brett – Lou]

Come with us…
Hear our call…
Join the quest…
Before oblivion swallows it all

Music and Lyrics: Avadan

The time has come
To forget what you are
The hour has struck -it’s midnight…
No guiding stars
To take you home

Ride on
The wind in your face
Stay on your course
But where do you go?
Shattered steering
No destination
Storm raging around you
Perish in the dark

[Bridge]

The things you had heard, night voices in bed
Visions appear suspended in bright light

[Chorus]

It’s all in your mind
Forever stop and go
Search and you will find
The seed awaits to grow
It’s all in your mind
Your friends they told you so
Search and you will find
There’s always more to know

Spiraling down
Twisting in void
No brakes when you fly
But look around, cause you’re not alone
A whole new sensation
In ether… Reborn
The moment you realize
That you are in control

[Bridge]

The sense in your mind of fragments you left behind
It’s the link to the past that defines you and keeps you alive

[Solos: Lou – Brett]

[Chorus]

It’s all in your mind
Forever stop and go
Search and you will find
The seed awaits to grow
It’s all in your mind
Your friends they told you so
Search and you will find
There’s always more to know

The depths you discover
On a razor you hover
Is it really the time
To let go…
Let…
Go
