1. Child Of Curiosity And The Old Man Of Knowledge

[Instrumental]






2. I Am The World

I am the world
the world beyond the stars...
I am the keeper of screaming mountains,
the portal between worlds...
A world of wonder,
a world of glory.

I was created by a scribbling hand,
by a mind that always believed...
That his mind could create me...
Where is he now?
The god from beyond...
I have never seen him,
yet we have always been together...






3. World Essence

[Instumental]






4. Across The World Of Wonders

Harken! Warriors, for our creator now urge us onwards...
Again we shall travel
To conquer and kill!
By sword, axe and hand...
Into the gate of stars...
Out into lands new and unconquered...
We march now...
We heed the call...
Towards the gate of stars...






5. (Passing By) An Old And Raped Village

Through boughs and leaves and stone on ground.
I feel a presence of evil, a silent sound.
An evil place once lovely and fair.
Itīs gardens are grey, sad voices of despair.

A village old, pillaged and raped.
All itīs houses are rotten or burnt.
Here are signs of battles of old.
Raided for the virgins and their gold.
From where cometh this evil air?
The pressing warning of danger.






6. Towards The Gate Of Stars

[Instrumental]






7. Spirit Of Conquest / The Warfare

Spiritus Domini [repeat]

We conquer now this world
Weapon in hand and death in our eyes
We march to attack
Soon the folk of here shall feel
Our wrath and steel

[repeat]






8. Army Of Conquest / The Warfare (Ever Oonwards)

The stars form the gate again
Soon we shall arrive in the new world...
Soon merciless war and destruction
Shall fall upon the unknowing...
Weapon in hand and death in our eyes
We march to attack...
Soon the folk of here shall feel
Our wrath and steel...

We conquer now this world...
