Below are older tidbits of information on the tracks. As you can see, we don't yet know which songs became which songs, but for now I'll leave this rough gathering of information below for speculation.
Encrypted Time Renamed "Ashes of Eternity"
One of the first announced tracks. Hansi believes it has something to do with Andre's World of Warcraft obsession.
"..is a modern speed metal song with some tribal aspects and some 70′s inspirations.."
The Holy Grail
Pure speed metal with fast-shouting vocals and a bombastic chorus.
Winter’s Coming Not featured on Beyond the Red Mirror
"[this] one is based on Marcus’ idea of a 90′s orientated speed/thrash song. We have finished a good two thirds of this one. It’s fast and heavy, or was it heavy and fast? I have no idea how he came up with the title “Winter’s Coming”… "
Outcast Renamed "Sacred Mind"
"My favorite among the fast ones certainly would be “Outcast”. A song full of surprises. The old school die hard fan will probably complain later that this one has a soft intro (epic and sad), but even this person would have to agree that afterwards we keep up the speed on this one to the very end. The song is a roller coaster ride through the last three decades of metal. I love it!"
The Throne
" “The Throne” is another epic piece we are working on. I have just started working on vocals for this one last Friday. It is too early for me to describe this one more precisely. What I can say is that this one is the perfect link between “Grand Parade” and “The Ocean”."
Grand Parade
" “Irish Hills” might be a surprise with some Irish melodies, which none would expect in a song with such a name…
"As for the epic tracks I love “Irish Hill” the most. I have decided to entitle this “Grand Parade” as “Irish Hill” never really fit the song. Imagine a mixture of “Wheel of Time” and “Nightfall” and you might be there. We have a beautiful orchestration for this. This one certainly demands a lot of time during production simply because there really is a massive amount of elements in it. Not as much as in “And Then There Was Silence”, but a lot…"
Prophecies
“Prophecies” is the one which is developed the most. It is almost straight forward, has a very strong pre and main chorus and offers some “Queensrÿchish” prog (this time I do mean Queensrÿche when I say prog) elements in combination with some Blind Guardian fantasy metal. A nice one."
Midtempo Song Potentially titled "Distant Memories"
" “Midtempo Song” is a great song of misunderstandings and technical failures, the result so far is a little surprising to everyone involved and has nothing to do at all with a song entitled “Midtempo Song”. I enjoy this one a lot, because I cannot remember us doing something like this. The song is still in a very early phase and André has kept it hidden from me for a while now."
" “Midtempo Song” is the most “commercial” song on the album so far. “Commercial” in a positive way, of course. It would deserve a title like “Irish Hills” more than “Grand Parade” did when it was called “Irish Hills”, but who said that life is always fair… To give justice to the song I also have to say that it is very progressive but also very catchy."
Song 9 Renamed "Twilight of the Gods"
“Song 9″ is a fresh one which used to be a collection of parts at first, but then developed into something very special. I would describe it as a refreshing combat between “Guardian of the Blind”, “The Script for My Requiem” and “Ride into Obsession” only disturbed by a fairly straightforward chorus. If you ask me this one is born to become a “classic, but first underrated by the band” song."
The Ocean Renamed "At the Edge of Time"
“The Ocean” is a very progressive (this time I talk about ELP meets Savatage art rock when I say progressive) orchestra dominated song.."
Miracle Machine
A ballad with strings and piano, Hansi at his best.

I really wish we had spoiler tags. This post is kind of unruly now.
