Ready for the enemy
|
Hungry for the battle
|
Fighting hard for victory
|
In the army of the king
|
Armed with shield and sword
|
We mounted our horses
|
Leaving on a sacred quest
|
On our way to fight the holy war
|
|
They attacked from different sides Hard pressed with numbers
|
We could not even run nor hide
|
We had to stand and fight
|
Then I felt a blade of steel
|
Penetrate my armour
|
I did not dream the pain was real
|
As I went down I knew my time
|
Had come
|
|
And then he rode into the night Towards that eerie distant light
|
That seemed to charm him
|
Until he came to a road that Disappeared beyond the last horizon
|
|
He knew there'd be no way back
|
Once he had vanished in the Blackness of Infinity
|
And so he gathered all his strength
|
Not to descend into the valley of death Into the valley of death
|
|
I opened up my weary eyes
|
The haze slowly lifted
|
The mighty roar of battlecries
|
Stopped ringing in my ears
|
I gazed upon a friendly face
|
He carried me to safety
|
I told him of this frightening place and Of my journey back from the other side
|
|
And then they rode into the night Towards that eerie distant light that Seemed to charm him
|
A force so seductive and yet so Destructive and cruel
|
Until he came to a road that Disappeared beyond the last horizon
|
|
He knew there'd be no way back
|
Once he had vanished in the Blackness of infinity
|
|
And so he gathered all his strength Not to descend into the valley of death into the valley of
|
death
|
I followed that road to the edge of Eternity he knew there'd be no way Back once he had
|
vanished in the Blackness of infinity
|
I fought for my life for I had to survive The ordeal
|
And so he gathered all his strength Not to descend into the valley of death Into the valley of
|
death
