In the Wake of the Night
Warriors kneel to fire and steel In this madness of war Floating within the visions unseen Like never before An eye for an eye, to fight and to die To rule the kingdoms destroyed Falling apart my valiant heart Trapped in the void Devastation, despair and strife In this world of the dark Turning the tide again side by side We fight to survive Too many screams, too many dreams Dwelling long in my mind Hear my pray the blood of today In the wake of the night Where are the prophets for me to predict When it comes to an end? Rainfalls washed down their cloaks and their bones With stones and sand Where are the kings of a thousand worlds Arrogant barons and lords? Their armor's corroding in far away fields Chopped by hundreds of swords Cities abandoned, ruins and plague That's all I can see What lies ahead obscure and dead It's my destiny I am the damned doomed to ascend To the frozen starlight Hear my call once and for all In the wake of the night Soon, brothers, we shall arrive To the shores of sunrise The wind will embrace our shame and disgrace Our fears and lies And then we'll forget nothing Lives ruined and virtues denied Now it's our turn to fall and to burn In the wake of the night

Out in the distance rumbling of hooves Blowing up silence, shaking the roofs Horses are dancing inhaling the heat The ground is trembling under my feet Out in the distance we're holding the line No revelation for us at this time Piercing the air with spears and pikes Counting minutes as the enemy strikes No expectations, no hope and no fear Stuck in this castle for almost a year Peasants have fled to the woods nearby There's only us waiting to fight and to die The trumpets have sung their hymns of demise Sun's getting higher blinding our eyes The bells on the towers silenced their call This is our last stand, this is our fall Howling of arrows piercing my shield Blood fountains pouring across battlefield One last dream of glory, one last final breath Before and beyond the black gates of death Cavalry charge, nowhere to run Lances and armor blaze in the sun Squeezing the helmets, crushing the skulls Comrades are falling around one by one Out in the distance the battle dies out Where are you my brothers, so brave and so proud? Smoldering corpses, smell of decay The ugly remains of those died today And who will remember these glorious days? Who will recall our faces and names? The songs never written, the shades of the past Vanished in time, turned into dust

Winter has come With snowfalls and frost And my memory summons The ones who I've lost Now the night is descending And the wind stops its roar I wish you were here with me On this desolate shore When silence falls over Your traces and graves In honor and glory I call up your names In our countless battles In our conquests and rides With a sword and a spear My brothers in arms Again and again I clearly recall Screams of the wounded Piercing the nightfall And mournful dawn Over shattered wasteland Not many of you, brothers Made it to the end Those days are long gone And you're so far away But I still see in the clouds Your battle-array My fearless companions My desperate guards I know you can all hear me My brothers in arms Winter has come Bringing sorrow and pain And the angels are sleeping 'Till another doomsday But I see our frayed standard Flaunting high in the sky And I hear through the ages Our fierce battle cry So here I am praying Under whispering trees Closing ranks of immortals In my visions and dreams You have all disappeared In the ocean of stars And I'll never forget you My brothers in arms

The cradle is broken The winds carry plague And I dream of the fire To take me away Navigating by clouds I ride all alone Through the mountains and forests On the road so long Every step is immortal Every drop of the rain On my journey eternal Falling over again In grief and starvation Every dream falls apart This is my revelation Of rebellious heart Ashes lands on my traces Thunder answers the call I'm the only forgiven The one left to fall In the purple horizon On the mountain peaks I am but a shadow The one never speaks And the raindrops keep singing Like a funeral bell This is what they call freedom This is what i call hell In the world of stagnation Disaster, decline This is my revelation Of thunderous mind My life is forbidden Every breath is a crime And the future lays hidden In the distance of time So I follow the fallen And pray the deceased And the woods standing silent Dissolved in the mist In my blind desperation Of the story untold This is my revelation Of the world I destroyed In grief and starvation Every dream falls apart In the world of stagnation Disaster, decline In my blind desperation Of the story untold This is my revelation Of the world I destroyed On the path of damnation All the bridges lay burned This is my revelation Of the world I destroyed
