1.	A Dream of Dreams
2.	Drums of War 05:14	lyrics
Hear of The People When Stoneheart he came Consumed with ambition Devouring our lives The drums of war They speak now their deadly song Bury your fathers in madness Drums of war They pierce to the very soul Birthright of those who have died Will survive The land lies in agony Great One lies slain Our hope now exhausted And soon, too, are we The drums of war They speak now their deadly song Bury your fathers in madness Drums of war They pierce to the very soul Birthright of those who have died Will survive Take up arms and they'll destroy you Follow me and be devoured Can't you see there's no solution Soon I will obliviate Hear them calling Pounding, tempting Now we feel the lure of power Hail to thee now serve or die Empire demands subjugation With failing light we now arrive Enshrined in shadow We'll take our right From our lips we seem divine But in our chest pounds the heart of a demon Hear us our fathers We stand now unfailing Our lives are forfeit The old ways are dying Wolf grants his heart And the Eagle his valor Bear grant your strength Oh I hear it...the end is here
3.	The Dark Citadel: Part I (The Shifter) 05:55	lyrics
Gloom, sporadic chaos twines Crystallized black ice Escape into the netherworld Where the day is night The power, gift at birth Battle of the mind The brink of insanity Is pushed onto the undivine There Evil in the air There The plane shifter hides in Darkhaven Sirens blare into the night The mission almost failed He creates the darkness shroud The hunter will not be assailed Gunshots ring out through the air The bullets hit the wall The shifter, he is no place at all He is arriving... There Evil in the air There The plane shifter Finds solace in Darkhaven Here I find myself again Trapped in ruined lands A maze Which I must find the end (Hunter is now hunted) Watching eyes lurk everywhere I have to find my way with care The native beasts seek to ensnare (Hunter is now the hunted) Here I am... My life in my own hands Journey now Through the shadow lands Hasten through this ashen hell To make it to the citadel Doubt creeps in my mind to tell... (In the end you will die) I can feel when they are near Instill my mind with fear Their voices bellow in my ears (When we get you, you will die) Iron words Echo in my head Telling me That I'll soon be dead My life in my own hands Journey now Through the shadow lands The shifter dashes for the gates His predators give chase Dark ones dive from towers high And demon factions clash in haste Fields soon soaked in blackened blood The prophecy is unfulfilled The city won't be breached until The shifter's killed He's safe for now in... There Evil in the air There The plane shifter hides in Darkhaven
