So here we stand between the gates
|
Upon the dawn the eagle waits
|
His tallons shine like daggers
|
On the wings of revolution
|
In pain the madman staggers
|
But there is no solution
|
|
Another sword upon a throne
|
But now the jester laughs alone
|
|
Beneath this cloak of treason
|
Appears a thousand faces
|
The truth must stand to reason
|
For those who's heart it chases
|
|
Beyond the world of mortal man
|
Within this sanctuary the spectre begins to tremble
|
They lay his spear upon the plan
|
|
On a sea of diamonds lies a ship of glass
|
Through the mist the torches pass
|
|
Their banners fly in splendour
|
The ghosts of night decended
|
With grace their souls surrender
|
The seal must be defended
|
|
Still the dragons reign supreme
|
Breathing fire till we scream
|
They leave us nothing but our dreams
|
|
No shield can save us
|
It's gonna take a miracle
|
We're searching for a miracle
|
It's gonna take a miracle
|
We're searching for a miracle
|
|
Stand clear, there's storm above
|
And there is something left to fear
|
All speed, before the blade is drawn
|
And there is blood upon the seed
|
|
Let no one yield we're on the field
|
Where deeds eclipse the sun
|
Where the brave are told on a thread of gold
|
The tapestry is spun
|
As they speak of dreams their amour gleams
|
There's calm before the storm
|
But all can see their destiny
|
The bishop takes the pawn
|
|
In the sky the arrows fly
|
Each one to it's mark
|
Defend the true lead us through
|
This voyage in the dark
|
Make us strong you know right from wrong
|
Teach us what it's worth
|
Cos every heart that aches is what it takes
|
To save our mother earth
|
|
Lay your life upon the line
|
It's death for glory every time
|
You give up yours and I'll keep mine
|
|
No shield can save us
|
It's gonna take a miracle
|
We're searching for a miracle
|
It's gonna take a miracle
|
We're searching for a miracle
|
|
So here we stand between the gates
|
Upon the dawn the eagle waits
|
His tallons shine like daggers
|
On the wings of a revolution
|
In the pain the madman staggers
|
But there is no solution
|
|
Still the dragons reign supreme
|
Breathing fire till we scream
|
They leave us nothing but our dreams
|
|
No shield can save us
|
It's gonna take a miracle
|
We're searching for a miracle
|
It's gonna take a miralce
|
We're searching for a miracle
|
