    1. Rienzi / Chopsticks Fantasia

      ( instrumental )
    2. Love's Dream

      Oh, love
      Oh, love
      As long as love is young
      As long as love is young
      Oh, love
      Oh, love
      As long as life shall last
      As long as life shall last
      The hour will come when we shall weep
      On thoughts of love
      And pleasures past
      The hour will come when we shall weep
      On pleasures past
      Oh, love
      In love our innocence is shared
      As long as love is true
      In love
      In love
      Our innocence will last
      Our innocence will last
      And should my heart in sacred hours
      Will find in you my secret quest

      Oh, love,
      Sweet love
      As long as love is young
      As long as life shall last
      Oh, love
      Sweet love
      As long as love is young
      As long as life shall last
    3. Dante Period

      ( instrumental )
    4. Orpheus Song

      You are my soul
      No strenght to fight your tearing hand
      Please spare me
      I'm alone
      Kill me and you destroy yourselves
      Be soothed
      You tear me up
      Make me whole
      These moments cannot be controlled
      Be my shame
      Be my game
      Together we can light the flames
      Flames of life, flames of truth
      Take my life
      In this hell
      Surrender, weave me to the spell
      We'll grow let it show
      Our harmony makes music flow

      Lead me on
      Let my past be gone
      You are my life
      Won't you leave my life begone
      You are my soul
      Your harmonies are near
      So lead me on
    5. Hell

      ( instrumental )
    6. Hibernation

      ( instrumental )
    7. Excelsior Song

      The flowering youth... of Germany
      Was raped by the beast
      The fearful power... of German gold
      Was pillaged by the beast
      Great the sorrow in the night
      But I heard you moan, no more
      The new messiah
      His day at hand,
      We'll drive the beast from our land
      He will restore teutonic godhead
      The hour of the Aryan superman is at hand
    8. Master Race

      ( instrumental )
    9. Rape, Pillage & Clap

      ( instrumental )
    10. Funerailles

      Life is pain
      Pain is loss
      Life is pain
      Pain is loss
      Loss is mine for living
      While the innocent are dying
      They were pure
      As pure as love
      Oh they were pure
      As pure as love
      But now they're crushed
      Before the weight
      Of man's desire for self-destruction
      War is waste
      Waste is guilt
      War is waste
      And waste is guilt
      Guilt is mine for watching
      While my countrymen are dying
      My land is dead
      My love's destroyed
      My land is dead
      Only music lives in me !
    11. Free Song (Hungarian Rhapsody)

      ( instrumental )
    12. Peace At Last

      Now love
      Sweet love
      Oh, now that love has won
      Oh, now that love has won
      Now love, our love, our love has ended war
      He'll torture man no more
      Your words give meaning to my song
      Our love created harmony
      With faith we'll guide the universe
      Through infinity
      At last, at last
      I'll live in peace at last
      Forgiven of all my past
      Peace at last
      Oh, at last
      At last
      I'll live in peace at last
      Forgiven of all my past
      Peace at last
      At last
      At last
      Ooh! I'm in peace at last
      Forgiven of all my past
      Peace at last
      At last, ooh at last
      I know I'll live in peace at last
      Forgiven of all my past
      Peace at last

      At last, at last
      I'm gonna live in peace at last
      Forgiven of all my past
      Peace at last
