[Believers:] 
Fire falling from the sky 
Rage of god is coming down 
Armageddon's drawing nigh 
Sinner cry! Heathen die! 
Hear the toll of pain, gloria, gloria 
In the fiery rain 
Fire falling from the sky 
Rage of god is coming down 
Armageddon's drawing nigh 
Sinner cry! Heathen die! 
Hear the toll of pain, gloria, gloria 


Now the time has come, the end's begun 
And the only one will come 


[Gabriel:] 
It has been foretold 
By the visions of the old 
And the madness in their eyes 
Said his angel will arise 
That's what they know: Holy Lord it's over, oh god 
We have done no wrong 
So we go where we belong 
To the neverending dream 
But for those who lived in sin 
They claim to know: Holy Lord it's over oh god 


[Pope:] 
Hey Angel, can you tell me 
Will you lead us to the place 
Full of heat, in the fire 
For we only brought disgrace 


[Lugaid:] 
He is not the one. If they only knew 


[Bishop:] 
Hey Angel, will you take us 
To the judgement of his rage 
Hey will we die 
For we couldn't close the gate 


[Lugaid:] 
To the knowledge as they have been told 


[Gabriel:] 
I don't know how could I prove 
Nothing but the cloven hoof 
Reigning over them as well 
While they keep on fighting hell 
Babylon the scarlet whore has come 


We are the seven, judgement of heaven 
Why don't we know: We are the angels 
It's revelation, soul castigation 
Fire will burn us away 
We are the seven, judgement of heaven 
Why don't we know: We are the angels 
It's revelation, soul castigation 
Fire will burn us away 


[Pope:] 
Redeemer, devastation 
Hope it only has been ment 
For the sin of the dreamer 
Who broke the law you'd sent 


[Lugaid:] 
He is not the one. If they only knew 


[Jakob:] 
Hey, don't know but I wondered: 
When we lost the seal again 
Maybe stoned by the incense 
Do we rise or just descent 


[Lugaid:] 
He is not the one. If they only knew 


[Gabriel:] 
I don't know how could I prove 
Nothing but the cloven hoof 
Reigning over them as well 
While they keep on fighting hell 
Babylon the scarlet whore has come 


We are the seven, judgement of heaven 
Why don't we know: We are the angels 
It's revelation, soul castigation 
Fire will burn us away 
We are the seven, judgement of heaven 
Why don't we know: We are the angels 
It's revelation, soul castigation 
Fire will burn us away 


[Solo: Henjo Richter] 


[Voice in the tower:] 
Woe to you longing for the wisdom 
Woe to you longing for the light 
All my sons bring me back what is mine 
Or you'll end burning in this night 
Woe to you longing for the wisdom 
Woe to you longing for the light 
All my sons bring me back what is mine 
Or you'll end burning in this night 


[Solo: Timo Tolkki] 


[Gabriel:] 
Once I have been lost in what they told me to believe 
Until I felt it burning deep inside to set my spirit free 
And I escaped to another world to help the little men 
Who make me plunge into philosophy – to feel my mind again... 
No one left to hold me tight – on the ‘real’ other side – but her in chains 


I had been alone till the madman came along 
With the knowledge and silver long beard 
He was the first man ever teaching how I could be free 
Helping me to find the mind and the soul 
They’ve been trying to hide it away... 
And he promised we’d help Anna if I’d help him to go all the way 


[Lugaid:] 
Go all the way into the world of minds 
Open the gate and do not close behind 
Prevent them from hiding the light away 
Prevent them from tellin’ us tales 
Or at the end of all they scare us with will be a million empty brains... 


[Gabriel:] 
I could bring what you told me 
The seal they need to close the gate forever 
But still I haven’t found a meaning 
Anna will we ever be together 


[Regrin:] 
You’ve been fighting for your soul 
And sometimes it takes a toll 
Hope one day you’ll understand 
What it means to hold in hands 
What they call a fantasy 
It is nothing but a key 
To the world that now you’re in 
That they call a wicked dream 


[Elderane:] 
When you’re walking on your own 
when you’re broken and alone 
You may feel us from inside – 
on the other side of life 
Ohohohoh... 


[Gabriel:] 
I’ve been fighting for my soul 
And sometimes it takes a toll 
Hope one day we’ll understand 
What it means to hold in hands 
What we call a fantasy 
But it’s nothing but a key 
To the world that now I’m in 
That we call a wicked dream 


Oh, walking on my own 
When I’m broken and alone 
I may feel you from inside 
From the other side of life
