Shine 04:47
1.Strophe Let the acting begin A play of deception and sin The crowd cheers only for the bright, it must shine yea ah! What do you see? … Use your eyes to unravel the scene But not everyone will, not everyone can … so reflect without a screen. 2.Strophe The plot follows the script Reality loosens its grip The life that we know in disguise, it must shine yea ah! Why don’t you see? … Control the media, control the scene Try to struggle through, keep your vision true Refrain Heed their eyes, neglect their words – when the feeling calls Unveil the mask to seize control – when the curtain falls A plot created, the mind has faded – in our theater halls Interlude Hey, do you want to know? Do you want control...? Or are you scared? What did you expect? Some delusional fact? Your thoughts won’t be spared.

1.Strophe - Thoughts of Zeus Hey fool who are you to break laws? Creating something new No one in this world will get away with this. Don’t you dare to try Out of clay…They must pray An attempt to survive is betrayal 2.Strophe - Thoughts of Zeus No more… I will freeze off their dawn? Your precious fire fades Come on now … don’t you engage with your foolish tricks Keep your dreams at bay Out of clay…They must pray Refrain To delude and deceive… What could you need? Is it freedom or peace? Occasion makes thieves. Presumption comes before the fall. So let my aetos prevail Torment – every day The mount will be your jail Forever… Interlude A gift from me Chimera A Box of Scheme Pandora Delusion... concealed indeed A wicked deceit Refrain To delude and deceive… What could you need? Is it freedom or peace? Occasion makes thieves. Presumption comes before the fall. So let my aetos prevail Torment – every day The mount will be your jail Forever… Interlude 2 Oh here I am, Pulled down to earth by death yeah, Ohh I’d wish he just led me fall now… Oh here I stay, Precious time has left me, I’m feeding starving Eagles… Ohh but I’ll endure it, There is no deed I’d reset, Not in a world, where I can feel But I’ll endure it My act was not in vain yeah This torture just raises my ardent zeal

Dreamwalker 06:35
1.Strophe Once upon a time, a man deserted mankind Born… to live his hate Forsaken morality’s, a rampage of a blood beast Fear… to judge his rule Ohhh but he can’t escape the truth 2.Strophe A call of those who hide, the hour for all who lost their light Hope… a precious thing Day by Day it seems, he dishonoured our friends and banished the weak Night by Night… he paid the price Ohhh but he can’t escape the truth… Dawn exposes his fright Redemption at last conjures night Refrain When the days turn black, when the dreams turn dead Balance his deeds is a torment of eternity Nightmares do what man cannot Interlude Ohh men cannot touch me … you cannot hurt me, But why am I suffering this torment? In life you walk a line you should not betray, A power was granted … given to everyone of us… Justice, a virtue… a fortress… a memory he’ll not erase A spark of hope for all those who fight

The Tool 07:24
1.Strophe Meanings differ Built up on sand Liquid holds it together Doubtful and for what it stands A knife could free you when chained with rope The hand could fondle the precious skin Might and Power could keep the peace It’s up to us 2.Strophe Appropriate handling is expected of tools Though the balance of action Is distracted by fools A knife could kill in a blink of eyes The hand could form into a fist and fight Might and Power could destroy the weak Pick up your tool ! Over time, without an end - new pieces rise form shapeless hands Refrain The forge of mind creates the meaning of tools For what you see is what you believe Perception changes but the heart must stay true Pick it up and choose Interlude What could you imagine? What could you imagine it for?

Animan 07:01
1.Strophe A night full of rain and terror - the streets of London town Groaning with pain - clangs in my ear - an unspeakable yell The Tavern, it's source - I am full of remorse – nobody here cares Dispute of two - this can't be true Refrain Every order I obey is forced ... human nature has a primitive cause Leave behind the chain... Everything seems to change, The inner me … drawn forth… a heedless act The vision narrow…like a bull in a crimson cloak My Rage is on - there’s no way to run - summon the beast...engage Without a thought...considerateness... is just what's missing… Restrain the beast … tame it to succeed 2.Strophe The knife unsheathed in Fury– the victim on the ground My savage blow… meets the aggressor unprepared You bloody mess …You will suffer … it’s your fault I look up … she is looming over him … laughing She calls me a fool Interlude Yesterday night, the most gruesome criminal of our town could escape the clutches of London’s justice. She has been hunted down for month. In the process of investigation numerous resources of the city were used. When at last she was compromised by a lone policeman in a local tavern, an unknown stranger took him out violently and without any warning, helping her to escape. The witnesses described the stranger as beastlike, bloodthirsty, unlike a human How could this be wrong? … I was trying to help…. It felt so good, so true… no thought could equal the feeling of honest rage… Isn’t a man just a beast with a leash?

Heads or Tails...satisfaction guaranteed the graveness of a deed, depends on your limits The worst case... it’s always on our mind Refrain On your road ... the distance is the key Where you start ... doesn't change the way you feel At any time the cost is worth the effort Interlude You say…I will be brave to use my own keen intellect.To finally break down these .....walls Interlude Every challenge has its gain... an advance towards your inner goal The bounds of fear are constraining you... break out and relief will be rapture

1.Strophe Year one, it’s love The chance has passed... a lonesome regret For everything else… no tears I’d shed The life of a lover, the decision I made A wonderful woman, a devoted wife, Though she has never been to the sea… Follow the tideNo earth in sight The guide of the night 2.Strophe Year 10 – The longing During that time I was like clay… Just getting harder and harder…From a Lover to a Stone It was so exhausting The knowledge – the waves are calling me to dance with them…again Follow the tide No earth in sight The guide of the night Just sky and...Follow the tide… Water fights …No earth in sight… For the realm…The guide of the night Refrain In this life I can’t find the answer… In my veins – blue salty blood To sustain my bond with it Leads me to the mirror of the sky Interlude Future is running out Patience does hurt, Yet I am still here, The tiring craving for the waves Must finally come to an halt Liquid salt runs free Not like this, it shall not end like this I will not yield to grief… I’ll shape fate

1.Strophe Breath out…I’m crushing my fears and I sail out, to conquer the sea…. It’s my dream A life of longing all behind Though she never knew The thrill that takes my thoughts away Away from you… 2.Strophe Free of doubt… my work on this ship makes me feel proud... At last I have dared to be free... Forsaken lands are left behind... The only life I knew... The struggle to keep you off my mind My thoughts of you... Refrain The man of my dreams... Is what I will be... Changing the course ... I will conquer the sea Not without cost... to scorch what I was What has been is lost... to feel alive... Interlude Winds arise, forecasting a change... it will rain at night Overwhelming, Devastating, Conquered by the sea

1.Strophe The light of your eyes shines through the clouds Your love for me drowned by the sea 2.Strophe The Call of the sea took away from me All of my dreams… It’s salt that I breathe Refrain It takes me, all is wasted It scares me… Hope for reaching dawn But never, oh o I’ll never Live to share my Storm of Thoughts 3.Strophe With the canvas at stake, the mast will break The loss of control A rope in hand, delay the end Fight for her soul Interlude The light is so hart too see These waves break my will to be Hope has lost its fight The rain washed away what might be…..

about

The Bands efforts to compose and arrange an epic full length album concluded in a symphony called “Tempest”. After two years of intensive songwriting, Rising Storm was determined to unleash the material with the highest possible quality, to give the listeners an overall overwhelming experience. Therefor the best producers and sound engineers were asked to be a part in this project, who eventually all agreed to give the album their individual skills.
This album tells many different stories about the way life can separate the dreams from reality and the constant pursue of men to hold on to it.

Diary of the Sailor
69th year of life - the day of departure
Though each time through different eyes with different motives, yet it is always the same…the motivations and reasons that mark the difference between the right and the wrong, the power of virtue and morality and the hardship of desperation forge the path we take. This irritating game needs clarity, but it can only be gained by our minds.

To create the atmosphere needed, it is vital to variegate the style of music according to the plot and emotion supposed to be expressed. Thus, the album contains ballades, power metal and heavy metal songs combined with epic classical parts, being a mixture that is able to be acknowledged by a wide range of listeners.
Central storyline of the album is the struggle of an old sailor, taken away from the sea by life’s responsibilities. He is in a constant phase of discontent due to his inner breach. Only the hope of change is giving him the strength to proceed with his everyday life until dream becomes reality and the world he hungered for, takes him and leaves him with nothing.
Although “Tempest” is not a concept album in whole, it follows a basic pattern. Only the songs are not exactly linked to each other, except the “Tales of Hope” Trilogy, which is the foundation for the whole artwork of the album. Tempest will reach your heart and your mind.

Diary of the Sailor
1st day - the journey begins
What a day… so bright, so clear. The air smells of salt and victory. It is a good day to see a dream merge into reality. I am the smith at the forge of mind, hammering, creating thoughts with the anvil of will… I have been afraid too long, imprisoned by myself and chained with the manacles of love… No more! This battle I will fight with the weapons I created...This is a good day, thus finally, I will conquer the sea.

Rising Storm Berlin, Germany

It has been some time since Storms awakened the heart of earth, since they brought fear to all those, who knew what was about to come. It is, as it always has been, the same with music. It has the power to change, overwhelm and reach the darkest corners of our world to give it life. Although one could think, that the days of the great storms have long passed. ... more
