istory

[Chorus]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it walks with me
The servant, I am and ever shall I be

Through a dream I have a come to an ancient door
Lost in the mist

I have been there a hundred times or more
Pounding my fists

Now inside, the fire of the ancient burns
A boy goes in then suddenly a man returns

[Chorus]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it walks with me
The servant, I am and ever shall I be

[Solo]

I gave my word and gained a key
I gave my heart and I set it free
There's no turning back from this odyssey
Because I feel so alive suddenly
And I wonder, is this really me?

Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot

Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not

Now compelled by something I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history

[Chorus]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it walks with me
The servant, I am and ever shall I be



FANFARE - Bob Ezrin, Paul Stanley, T. Powers

(Instrumental)



JUST A BOY - Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who steers the ship through the stormy sea
If hope is lost then so are we
While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me

[Chorus]
But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
For I am just a boy
Too young to be sailing
I am just a boy
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing

[Solo]

While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me

[Chorus]
But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
For I am just a boy
Too young to be sailing
I am just a boy
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing



DARK LIGHT - Ace Frehley, Anton Fig, Lou Reed, Gene Simmons

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look out, 'cause there's something wrong
And you don't know what it is
Watch out, or it's Sodom and Gommorah
The malevolent order
Right now, before it's much too late
Before it's much too late

[Chorus]
A dark light
A darkness never ending
A dark light
The devil gets his due
A dark night
Is everywhere descending
A dark light
Is coming for you

Now look up, well the skies are black
And they're getting darker all the time
Watch out, for the things that you believe in
You're gonna be attacked and you won't know what it is
Wise up, you better watch your step
You better watch your step
[Chorus]
A dark light
A darkness never ending
A dark light
Of perversion and hate
A dark night
Is everywhere descending
A dark light
There's no time to wait

[Solo]

Look out, for the death of love
There will be no more love
Watch out, it's yourself that you are fooling
Who do you think you're fooling?
Shout it out, it's a terrible thing
Such a terrible thing

[Chorus]
A dark light
A darkness never ending
A dark light
The sun is turning cool
A dark night
Is everywhere descending
A dark light
Is shining at you
Dark light

Dark light

Is shining at you
Dark light



ONLY YOU - Gene Simmons

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only you
Have the answers
But the questions you have to find
Only you
Know the secrets
But the truth lies deep in your mind
Only you
Are the answer
You turn the night into day (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Only you
Are the manchild
You are the light and you are the way

Tell me the secrets
I wanna know
Tell me the secrets
I wanna know
I wanna know

Only you
Are the manchild
You are the light and you are the way

[Break]

I can't believe this is is true
Why do I listen to you?
And if I am all that you say
Why am I still so afraid?

Only you...
Only you...
Only you...

In every age
In every time
A hero is born
As if by a grand design



UNDER THE ROSE - Eric Carr, Gene Simmons

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Though you may be pure of heart and free of sin
And though you have been chosen to begin
And yet you must be worthy of the prophecy
But seek and you shall find your destiny

[Chorus]
Loneliness will haunt you
Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath?
Will you live your life
Under the rose?

The more you hurt the less you feel the pain
And the more you change, the more you stay the same
But now before you lies a quest at hand
And from this boy you may become a man

[Chorus]
Do you understand?
Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath?
Will you live your life
Under the rose?

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Loneliness will haunt you
Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath?
Will you live your life
Under the rose?



A WORLD WITHOUT HEROES - Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin, Lou Reed, Gene Simmons

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes

And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
Is like a time without a place
A pointless thing devoid of grace

[Chorus]
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes

In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
And a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing

Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know

[Solo]

In a world without heroes
There's nothing to be
It's no place for me



MR. BLACKWELL - Gene Simmons, Lou Reed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I never said I was more than I am
Do what I want and I don't give a damn
You're all so weak you know it makes me ill
Don't like you now and probably never will

You cheat and lie, and wonder why
You can't sleep at night

[Chorus]
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well, oh, Mr. Blackwell
Why don't you go to Hell

I am a sinner who just loves to sin
I am a fighter who just loves to win
I am the truth about this crummy hole
There's nothing here that can't be bought or sold

You're cold and mean, and in between
You're rotten to the core

[Chorus]
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well, oh, Mr. Blackwell
Why don't you go to Hell

You're a victim, a real disgrace
You should be banished from the human race

[Solo]

{Mr. Blackwell)
{Mr. Blackwell)
{Mr. Blackwell)

We'll drink to sorrow then we'll drink to waste
We'll drink a toast to the inhuman race
Here's to the world and the times we're in
Here's to the kid a real man among men

You're cold and mean, and in between
You're rotten to the core

[Chorus]
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well, oh, Mr. Blackwell
Why don't you go to Hell



ESCAPE FROM THE ISLAND - Ace Frehley, Bob Ezrin, Eric Carr

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instrumental



ODYSSEY - Tony Powers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From a far off galaxy
I hear you calling me
We are on an odyssey
Through the realms of time and space
In that enchanted place
You and I come face to face
[Chorus]
Once upon not yet
Long ago someday
Countless times we've met, met along the way

Through the luminescent night
On beams of neon light
You and I in winged flight
As we cross the starry sea
Powered by what we see
Now and then, the victory

[Chorus]
Once upon not yet
Long ago someday
Countless times we've met, met along the way (ahay)

[Break]

There's a child in a sundress
Looking at a rainy sky
There's a place in the desert
Where an ocean once danced by
There's a song in the silence
Weaving in and out of time
We are notes in the music
Searching for remembered rhyme

[Solo]

On a mountain high somewhere
Where only heroes dare
Stand the stallion and the mare
We have been and we shall be
Each other's destiny
One another's odyssey

[Chorus]
Once upon not yet
Long ago someday
Countless times we've met, met along the way

We've met along the way...

Met along the way...



I - Gene Simmons, Bob Ezrin

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was so frightened
I almost ran away
I didn't know that I could do
Anything I needed to

And then a bolt of lightning
Hit me on my head
Then I began to see
I just needed to believe in me

[Chorus]
Now I, I believe in me
And I, I believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me
O-ooh and I believe in me
Ooh yes I believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me

Listen!
They said I didn't stand a chance
I wouldn't win no way
But I've got news for you
There's nothing I can't do

Ain't no pretending
Ain't no make believe
But I've got to be the one
I gotta do what must be done

[Chorus]
And I (I) believe in me
Whoa-o and I (I) believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me

Well you know that I (I) believe in me
Ooh yes and I (I) believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me
I believe in me
Yes, I believe in me
Yeah!

[Break]

I don't need no money
I don't need no fame... No!
I just need to believe in me
And I know most definitely

Don't need to get wasted
It only holds me down
I just need a will of my own
And the balls to stand alone

[Chorus]
Cause I (I) believe in me
Whoa-o and I (I) believe in something more
Than you (something more) can understand (something more)
Yes, I believe in me
Whoa-a, and I believe in me (you feel it too, don't you?)

Well you know that I (I) believe in me
Ooh yes and I (I) believe in something more (C'mon)
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me (do you really?)
I believe in me (do ya, do ya)
Yes, I believe in me (I wanna rock and roll all nite)
Yes, I believe in me!

Spoken Outro:
Elder: Morpheus, you have been summoned here to offer your judgement of the boy. Do you still deem him worthy of the fellowship?

Morpheus: I certainly do my Lord. As a matter of fact, I, I think you're going to like this one. He's got the light in his eyes. And, the look of a champion. A real champion.
