The Longest Night

Sunrise, why can't you sympathize? You disrespect the darkness You creep your way into the morning sky You desecrate the stars Sunrise, how you offend the eyes Befoul the breath of morning And by your force I'm drawn into the light Beneath the blinding eternal flame My shadow's dreadful bane Spare me, sunrise Go back from whence you came Moonlight, the music of the night A symphony of silence And for a moment all the world is right forsaken by the Sunrise, come another day The world looks best a deeper shade of grey Sunrise, go the other way I can live without you, love will light the way Sunrise Don't need you sunrise Sunrise go away Sunrise, come another day Sunrise, come another day The world looks best a deeper shade of grey Sunrise, go the other way I can live without you, love will light the way Sunrise And in the darkness Stars shine upon us and the world turns without you

Forged in the fire, but cold as ice I will spare no sacrifice You'll pay with tears shed in mortal fright All shall fear the hammer's strike Nailed to this war that will never end Death inspires those whom I defend Your pounding heart thrusting like a knife Eyes wide with hate as you come into sight As you're losing your way in the night Finding you've run out of life Lay your soul on the anvil I strike 'Cause I am the hammer! As you're losing your way in the night Finding you've run out of life death will drive through your head like a spike 'Cause I am the hammer! Black bombshells fly and swordsmen clash Rockets blaze and muzzles flash Now soldiers shake and cowards cry So dig the graves by the dawn's early light As you're losing your way in the night Finding you've run out of life Lay your soul on the anvil I strike 'Cause I am the hammer!

In the darkness envision Angels protect you from sin In your heart there's a key to the prison within In the violet fire Wash away your fears Let it shine forever Holy light for the world to see Tears of joy like a river Finally touching the sea Unified by the flame we together are free In the violet fire Wash away your fears Let it shine forever Feel it flow from your heart over me Generations of anguish and pain Oblivious to the power of the flame Derision casting a shadow on the path to life From the fire Violet Fire Heaven's Desire In the violet fire Wash away your fears Let it shine forever Feel it flow from your heart eternally In the violet fire Wash away your fears Let it shine forever Feel it flow from your heart to me

Deep within the desert One race of mortal men The gods have given to us A rich and fertile land Adorned with greatest splendor The dawning of a time Where all men pledge their honor And some pay with their lives We are a people like none were before A civilization that demanded more A craftsman by trade, I've seen it all start From floods of the Nile to the beauties of art The voices of heroes cry out from the sands Their spirits call out to me, I hear them call to me Drive on, guided by the night sky As in the heavens shall now be on Earth We go on guided by the night sky Stone by stone we prepare for rebirth of the king Divine revelation, a king and his pride To build such a tower to reach the sky His guidance is crucial, we must heed the call For the strong can build many, but the dead none at all They say that our destiny's drawn in the stars It's all so clear to me, everything's clear to me Drive on, guided by the night sky As in the heavens shall now be on Earth We go on guided by the night sky Stone by stone we prepare for rebirth of the king Oh, twenty years have come and gone Thousands, they did what can't be done They gave their lives, their sweat and blood So, born is a gateway to the sky A passage to meet with the light To reap the fruits of the afterlife To the king we give this symbol of our loyalty For when he will descend amongst the gods And in the end he'll give us immortality For we have kept the faith and we are strong The tomb of the pharaoh, a well hidden vault Safe from the tides, within thick walls Stacked well with fortunes and lined with respect Preserved there for ages, for the life that comes next The quest of the Pharaohs, they walk with the sun For this we gave everything, we've given everything Drive on, guided by the night sky As in the heavens shall now be on Earth We go on guided by the night sky There'll come a time when we will live again Drive on, guided by the night sky As in the heavens shall now be on Earth We go on guided by the night sky Stone by stone we prepare for rebirth of the king

The way you betrayed me is unspeakable Although it comes as no surprise Cause anyone who's ever owned my loyalty Repaid me with insanity And still you cry about your misery The way you always Tell your tale like you're a refugee You lies intentional and cold And if you found a way, the perfect way to finish me And free my tortured soul What reason would it hold? All I ever wanted was to know a feeling less than sorrow But endlessly, so many worlds apart still I fight the pain That endlessly and always in my heart has to live so endlessly I'll never surrender to the treachery The soulless beast behind your eyes I once mistook or overlooked your vanity My heart's no longer blind If it takes the rest of time I will wait forever and a day watching you wish there's no tomorrow But endlessly, so many worlds apart still I fight the pain That endlessly and always in my heart has to live so endlessly Tell your tale like you're a refugee You lies intentional and cold And if you found a way, the perfect way to finish me And free my tortured soul What reason would it hold? All I ever wanted was to know a feeling less than sorrow But endlessly, so many worlds apart still I fight the pain That endlessly and always in my heart has to live so endlessly Endless guilt and pain Endless walks in the rain Endless tragedy Endless, endlessly...

Seven days ago Came a blast that stole the air we breathe with fire searing from the sky The earth was shaking, bells were ringing Left with nowhere we can hide All hope was crushed by the first of God Forget the promises we made We can't get go, though everything is gone We were the brave, we were alive Until we endured the longest night Now we're enslaved, we've lost our minds We fell victim to the longest night And now we're no more Now night can never turn to day The stars left darkness in their wake This broken shadow of a world Is not the life we knew Can you believe me? We were the brave, we were alive Until we endured the longest night Now we're enslaved, we've lost our minds We fell victim to the longest night And now we're no more We were the brave, we were alive Until we endured the longest night Now we're enslaved, we've lost our minds We fell victim to the longest night And now we're no more

The hollow harvest A generations plow Will never be missed They reap their fruits in hell Or on a slave ship It would be just as well Our shaking death grip It tightens still As we break and burn, we'll never learn We've wasted all these years We fight and die to drown the lies That echo in our ears In tears or chains You never dreamed of this An insane mind game Although it must be true For all that you've done And all that's done to you You never did run And when you do For a sin, for a shame, we recite the names Awakened from our trance For down below, you'll never know If you had stood a chance We're fighting by the dawn We're fighting after sunrise We fighting for a chance to see our life to be And you won't take us alive We're fighting in the dark We're fighting after midnight We're fighting for a fantasy reality In case our dreams are right On we fight! Forever fighting by the dawn We're fighting after sunrise We fighting for a chance to see our life to be And you won't take us alive We're fighting in the dark We're fighting after midnight We're fighting for a fantasy reality In case our dreams are right

I was blind to the sins of a time forsaken When love inflicted misery So long ago her face was a dim reflection So many frozen memories Now they haunt my soul Like a ghost of love And I fear that she's come to reclaim her power Take possession of my dreams And steal away my sanity by the hour Evanesce reality Spinning lies of gold Oh, she haunts my soul Like a ghost of love A curse I can't undo I hear a siren's voice A song of love so true Keep the ring I gave to thee You broke the promise so selfishly It was an unexpected tragedy Life goes on and on and on without you Like a ghost of love Like a ghost of love A curse I can't undo I hear a siren's voice A song of love so true Fear that she's come to reclaim her power Take possession of my dreams And steal away my sanity by the hour Evanesce reality Like a ghost of love

When the banners were called, we had raised a mighty cheer Our forces had seemed so strong In the time that's passed, we have seen what we lost Our lives have been hard so long Now the conquerors have come tonight- Do we fold or do we fight? Is the kingdom still worth fighting for? Up the gates! and let them in! So the siege is on, we hunger and we quake in fear Not just soldiers fight the war Will we die in here? We're all afraid and can't recall The cause that we're starving for Now the conquerors have come tonight- Do we fold or do we fight? Is the kingdom still worth fighting for? Up the gates! and let them in! Though we pray to be relieved, our prayers are never heard Prayers are never heard Though we're promised that we're safe, they lie with every word Lie with every word When the banners were called, no one thought to doubt the cause Our leaders had seemed so strong Now we wait and hope and wonder were we right or wrong We'll only survive so long Now the conquerors have come tonight- Do we fold or do we fight? Is the kingdom still worth fighting for? Up the gates! and let them in! Up the gates!
