Beyond The Red Mirror (2015)












The Ninth Wave lyrics - Blind Guardian

As dark night embraces

We are the nation
I will cleanse all your thoughts
We will cleanse them all
Now, my children
For the sake of our nation
Let us carry on
In glory
When dark night embraces

We are the nation
Be my fellowmen
We will wipe them out
Let there be light
For the sake of our nation
Precious and bright
When dark night embraces my mind

A twisted plan
After all
Despite all burden
Life has grown
And though the curse is still alive

File 664
The golden age's vanished and more
The ingenious knight knows it's over
He no longer denies there's a real me
He'll be disgraced

Burnt and sealed
They may end
As we will rule the world
Defeat the dying old Crow
Let this fire burn

Sail on till you reach the promised land
We all drown in the fifth dimension
The ninth wave
I can feel it's coming
The ninth wave

Sail on till you reach the promised land
We all wait for a new tomorrow
We'll bring a new age
Along with the final wave
The final wave
We will rise

Burn them all, bring the damned
There's a price to pay
Burn them all, bring the damned
Do as I command
Our praise and triumph will grow
We'll defy the Nine
Delete the dying old Crow

To Muriel's fire, walk with me

Down to the Abaddon
Will you walk with me to the Sheol?
Good or bad we all meet the Abaddon
Take a look and you see it's all the same

Imaginations
Exterminate them
Imaginations
Exterminate them

An evil revelation
A wicked thought
Denied by their savior
They all prayed for
Salvation
There are no gods
So no one can save them
Until
They will redeem Belial
They will unite them all
Then many men will fall
When they will heed the call
So they'll be free
Before the final curtain falls
Belial
Bring the cursed
Bring the damned
As we will rule the world
They'll seek the dying old Crow
Let this fire burn

Sail on till you reach the promised land
We all drown in the fifth dimension
The ninth wave
I can feel it's coming
The ninth wave

Sail on till you reach the promised land
We all wait for a new tomorrow
We'll bring a new age
Reborn as aeon gods
As aeon gods
We'll break through

Further down you'll walk with me

Down to seal Avalon
Will you walk with me to the fire?
Further down we come to seal Avalon
Take a look and you see it's all the same

Imaginations
Exterminate them
Imaginations
Exterminate them

There is no real salvation
We will wipe them out
And nothing remains here
As we don't need salvation
We will not fade
Forever we'll stay here

Screams come from the inside
The king is gone, but
This war is not over

Burnt and sealed they may end
As we will rule the world
Delete the dying old Crow
Let this fire burn

Sail on till you reach the promised land
We all drown in the fifth dimension
The ninth wave
I can feel it's coming
The ninth wave

Sail on till you reach the promised land
We all wait for a new tomorrow
We'll bring a new age
Reborn as aeon gods
As aeon gods
We'll break through

Twilight Of The Gods lyrics - Blind Guardian

How've they dared to be
Such misguided creatures
How've they dared to be
Of such evil nature
Spiral up to doors all sealed
No turning back
Red door to Discordia

Steal the stars
Deceive the day
A sign of evil
They're gone with a final warning

Witness the twilight of the gods
Will they ever return
A storm will take us
And then wipe us out
There's no retreat

We're trapped in twilight
While the gods will drowse
Gods will drowse
They'll wait and sleep
Until a new dawn'll save us from the dark

The damage's done
The king is gone

There is war
Wherever I'll roam
Gods will come and
Gods will go
The spinning wheel keeps turning

Now get up
Lay down your ancient faith
We're the chosen ones
Come feel the change

A way
Let me show a new way
When you dare to walk with me
Bow down
And surrender
The old gods

Black or white
To me it's grey
A sign of evil
I hail all these non-believers

Witness the twilight of the gods
Will they ever return
A storm will take us
And then wipe us out
There's no retreat

We're trapped in twilight
While the gods will drowse
Gods will drowse
They'll wait and sleep
Until a new dawn'll save us from the dark

Deliver your gods
They shall be slain
I'm their fallen son
Don't be afraid

A way
Let me show a new way
When you're going to walk with me
As one
We're infernal

What's going up
It will come down
We're here to change
There's war in Discordia

Sure as death
We all must fade
A sign of evil
Now reach for a new horizon

Witness the twilight of the gods
Will they ever return
A storm will take us
And then wipe us out
There's no retreat

We're trapped in twilight
While the gods will drowse
Gods will drowse
They'll wait and sleep
Until a new dawn'll save us from the dark

Prophecies lyrics - Blind Guardian

I can see a crow
On your judgement day
Seems like a sermon
Please come over
Don't come over
Please come over
Here
Welcome the last day of our lives

I will break the circle
Walls, I'll tear them down
And guilt will break the silence
But there is no return
No return
We shall overcome

We will bring you back
To a moment in time
We will reveal and detect
What you are
Precious truth in a cage
It has been captured but safe
And there we'll bind it and
Blind it with lies

The king will come
World will come undone

He is the center of creation
The prophecy
It's a promise to us all

A crow, a storm
Shadows will be rising soon
A crow, a storm
The Nine sing
Once upon a dream ago
We're the ones you've left alone

Now, as we speak
There's a way
There's a door
Come find us
And join us
Come see it and feel it

Doors in and out
You shall be falling
Your mind's still trapped in twilight
Now, catch a glimpse
Shall I get through
They've walked on
To the other side
But how could I know?
I'm drowning
Drowning
Where do I belong?
Drown in shadows
I am the center of creation
They prophecy
It's a promise to us all

A crow, a storm
Shadows will be rising soon
A crow, a storm
The Nine sing
Once upon a dream ago
We're the ones you've left alone

Don't blame me
Don't blame me
It's my lying toad
The Crow and the Hare
They've moved
Further into the unknown

Mark my words
They will be gone
You'll see them playing games, my dear
They've moved along
Cause one day in the afterlife
We'll meet again
They've frowning
Frowning
On your judgement day
They are shadows
They're in the center of creation
They prophecy
It's a promise to us all

A crow, a storm
Shadows will be rising soon
A crow, a storm
The Nine sing
Once upon a dream ago
We're the ones you've left alone

But don't be afraid
There's war beyond the red door
And please ignore their pleas
Just break the seal
Break the seal, find the red door
There's a red
There's a red
There's a fed door
Break the seal, find the red door

The eternal
The infernal
The eternal
We shall better get him back
The eternal
The infernal
The eternal
Will we ever see the light again

At The Edge Of Time lyrics - Blind Guardian

I step from door to door
My mind's misguided
Keep moving on and on
Forevermore

Was it real what I saw in the mirror?
Was it fear when the end got clearer?

Now as my time's passing by
What am I waiting for?

Who'll grant me wings to fly?
And will I have another try?

'Cause I would not miss my moment again
Yes, I would not miss my moment my friend

No one knows the answer
What could have been
The edge I still fear
The roads they're leading nowhere
There is no end, no end
Oh gods be with me
Carry me along
I blindness I tried to march on
Mystified me
Yes, it fooled me

No surrender
Don't surrender
I hear them calling
I hear them calling
Can hear them scream
Don't be late when aeons pass
Your memories will fade
Even the purest one might fail
Here and deceive
The righteous soul
And then their world will come undone

They burn, they bleed
Till the savior will break through
In between the realms they're gathered
And from the edge of time
Once they return
They will save us all
Now break through

Recall the eclipse
There is none who survive
Defeat, defeat, defeat
There's no more
You've searched for the answer
The answer is creed
They're real no more
You cannot get over, no more

My light shall shine forever
The Nine beyond the wall
They're turning
They're burning
They now understand
I soon will seal all doors
Their stars won't shine here anymore
Their savior won't even try
He can't remember the truth
My words become real
And there's nothing they can do

They may follow a plan the one had
Deeply sad
They have chosen the wrong side
And tried to resist
All their visions and music
No longer exist
When the morrow will come
It shall all be
In between
In between the realms
In between the realms
They might move on

That's when all pureness dies in vain
There's no release
The infernal lord has won
And forevermore
Yes, forevermore

They burn, they bleed
Till the savior will break through
In between the realms they're gathered
And from the edge of time
Once they return
They will save us all
Now break through

Will I
Yes, will I fail to believe, my friend?
What if it's all done in vain?

Don't afraid
Will it be me they blame?
See, it's a whole world
That I've once condemned
And I shattered it all
With a thought as it seems
But it all has been me
As the mirror has revealed
Now reveal
Now redeem
I will carry the storm
The savior's coming home

Yes, I'll carry the grail
And I'll wash away the pain

There's no release
The infernal lord has won
And forevermore
Yes, forevermore

They burn, they bleed
Till the savior will break through
In between the realms they're gathered
And from the edge of time
Once they return
They will save us all
Now break through

Where do you go?
Where do you go from here?

I don't look back
There's more in me
My hour shall come
The old gods are calling
Then straight ahead
A door appears
The tyrant must go down
That's when the ancient gods return
They will return

Ashes Of Eternity lyrics - Blind Guardian

The Hare once betrayed me
And so did the Fox and the Crow
Just once defied me
There's me and there's Space
Where are they?
Maybe dead
No one knows
You can't defy me

Ride all along
With me
There's no tomorrow
Now let me through
And wait for my command

Don't try to be cruel
Oh, my beautiful child
But how can you try to redeem the past?
It's not real as it seems
Now ride on your wave
And get back to that place
Scratch deeper and deeper
And soon I will be on my own

The gods will ignore your end
They'll defend the elder
The lords won't salute you
The saints they won't save you
They'll defend their guardian
The savior won't heal your soul

Caesar

No man's world
It's the Ides of March
Then from the ashes of eternity
A new spirit will rise
A new order shall take over

Now
Raise the flag
The war seems over
And bow your head
At dawn they shall be murdered

Woes, I will not complain
The further you get
The closer's the end, dear

But now
I will try
Come and see
That things are not what they may seem

It's all written down
The savior lies bleeding
But he won't surrender
The scriptures don't lie
He'll e turned around
No one to blame

It all goes down

The gods will ignore your end
They'll defend the elder
The lords won't salute you
The saints they won't save you
They'll defend their guardian
The savior won't heal your soul

Now go and get
Your holy grail
And don't forget
Just once you'll cross the border

Now let the saints
The saints come marching in
Whatever you'll do
Do it fast
My sweet son of decay
Now let the saints
The saints come marching in
Transform
You may pass
Rearrange it
Now change to betray

I won't lie
While bright eyes are turning pale
Your sands run low

Your light shines
My last try
It'll soon be over

No sign shall be given for ages and more
You may enter first
But from now you will be on your own

The gods will ignore your end
They'll defend the elder
The lords won't salute you
The saints they won't save you
They'll defend their guardian
The savior won't heal your soul

You're getting your grail
But there's no place to go
Longing for a new shore
Eastern winds they blow cold
The saints you will bring them down
The savior won't take the crown
Let my spirit fly
Let it fly

The Holy Grail lyrics - Blind Guardian

We, together
Change the world forever
What a cheerful sound
Synchronize me
Supervise me, mother
No more fooling around

Whatever may come
It shall be from the ashes
He shall rise, I know

And though it hurts me
Don't be surprised, dear mother
Longing to see his end

Don't call it
Hopelessly insane
I go and grasp the grail
But in a graceful way
Illegally, my aim
The grail will cross the border now

Don't tell me that you're innocent
Don't tell me it's divinely ordained by the saints
My demons, my saviors
I weep for all of them
Suffered in vain

My wayward son, you might disturb me
Carry the flame
Till dying embers will stop gleaming

There on the battlefield she sings
Praise, hallelujah
The Holy Grail's on its way now
Magna eterna
Magna eterna sings
Your journey's over
The Holy Grail's on its way now

Do as it's foreseen
Come and meet the king
There's no choice
For the word it must be
Real, my righteous brother
Fear you soon will know

So, on the fourteenth day passover
He took the firstborn sons
Execute him and now act as
Judas, the chosen one

So after all, in vain
I've met him and found the grail
Cause in a skillful way
I'll change to keep alive
Eternal lie, I'll be the one

Key to life, be the eclipse
Voices from the river Styx
Come to be the Nemesis
Kiss of death
Crucifix and the grail

I've traveled far on hidden pathways
The Holy Grail
Who would have thought that I will hold it
The Holy Grail

There on the battlefield she sings
Praise, hallelujah
The Holy Grail's on its way now
Magna eterna
Magna eterna sings
Your journey's over
The Holy Grail's on its way now

Don't tell me that you're innocent
Don't tell me that there is a chance to be free
The grail's sent, my way ends
I creep along with the shadows
And resurrected
He comes marching in
There he is
Good lord forgive my sins

Once I've crossed the river Styx
At Sheol's gate, I know
Key to the apocalypse
I have sealed it with a kiss
Nothing that I want to do
Hades is calling
Wake the witch, who'll be the brave one?
Don't say what he's like
Full of voices comes the ninth wave
Don't say what it's like
Beyond the door

There on the battlefield she sings
Praise, hallelujah
The Holy Grail's on its way now
Magna eterna
Magna eterna sings
Your journey's over
The Holy Grail's on its way now

Norns are howling
Norns are prowling

The Throne lyrics - Blind Guardian

Get him off the throne
Moreover he's not in control no longer
The King will come, it's over
The game goes on

Someone's waiting on the other side
Trying to get over

Got to be in this hour

There on the other side
We know that someone keeps waiting

Don't you know your enemy?
Don't you know you're damned?

Release the beast
Set it free
I've come to tell you once more
Don't let him break this seal
But let me tell you once more
Peace shall come

We must serve the fire
We must confess we are liars
There must be something in the end

We're the curse
Got to feed it
We must serve the fire
Determination
Blame the light

For all must burn down in the end

We must serve the fire
We must serve the fire

Give us shelter from the storm
Give us hope
Give us shelter from the storm
Give us hope

Curse the wind
A storm from the north
Comes to divide us
Will deny us
To break your king

These were dark lands
In a dead world
Rearranged
We brought it into light
A union of the land and king

It's a new world
It is new land
But it ends here
In the here and now
Another failure once again

We will not believe in any word you may say
We will not believe in any word you may say

Now we can see the enemy
I've come to tell you once more
It's me, I hold the key
But let me tell you once more
Peace shall come

We must serve the fire
We must confess we are liars
There must be something in the end

We're the curse
Got to feed it
We must serve the fire
Determination
Blame the light

For all must burn down in the end

We must serve the fire
It's a curse we are all bound
We must serve the fire

Curse them all
They'll tear down the wall
Come to divide us
They'll defy us
Take me throne

All I am is nothing else
What you have made me
Nothing more I am
Your vision of another god
All I know is they won't give
But they will take
Your sacred light away
And still they come to praise the damned

Can't you see?
It's your innocence they'll steal away
Yes, they're coming for you
They've come to deceive
You are betrayed
You admire these liars
They'll never fool me

We will not surrender
We won't take it no more
We will not surrender
We won't take it anymore

We'll break the seal and set 'em free
I've come to tell you once more
As I will now reveal
But let me tell you once more
Peace is gone

We must serve the fire
We must confess we are liars
There must be something in the end

We're the curse
Got to feed it
We must serve the fire
Determination
Blame the light

For all must burn down in the end

We must serve the fire
It's a curse we are all bound
We must serve the fire

We're the curse
Got to feed it
We must serve the fire
Determination
Blame the light

We must serve the fire
It's a curse we are all bound
We must serve the fire

Determination
Blame the light
Blame the night
Day and night
Black and white

Take a look at yourself
There is nothing to fear no more
There is nothing to fear no more

Sacred Mind lyrics - Blind Guardian

Could not break the silence
Could not move in here
How can they stay so silent?
All the grief and violence
For all they went through
For all it breaks loose

It's bursting out
Fire, walk with me
Fire, walk with me

The will is strong
Can I show you Fear?

Don't move
Don't turn
Don't come too close as I
Burn down this place
My spirit will set it all on fire

Would you like to meet the tyrant in the twilight zone?

Get in, don't be late
And breathe in my reality
But first break the silence

There is more
Beyond the dawn he's rising
Where darkness grows
He traveling in disguise
Now don't look back
Now you know why
We set sail to new shores
We will meet him

Sacred mind
We build a new pleasure-dome here
Xanadu
My Xanadu
My Xanadu

Don't look back, just enter
What I call my soul asylum
Where they are playing tricks
Everybody
If you like to see
Whatever lies beyond that golden door
It seems
My frequency's turned weak
Try to remember me
Try to remember me

Then for a while
We've heard the sounds of sirens
You turn to stone
Medusa's in your sight
I tell you why
Rearranged by the ages gone by
You can change it

Sacred mind
We build a new pleasure-dome here
Xanadu
My Xanadu
My Xanadu

Sacred mind
We build a new pleasure-dome here
Xanadu
My Xanadu
My Xanadu

Chance or predestined end
Praise, hallelujah

Never mind the end
Fool the mall
Fear the demon in disguise
Keep your secret inside

Let's move on, it's time
A thousand years gone by
The pleasure-dome
What will we hear
And what will we see

All a lie
There's no boat
There's no river
No shore
Journey's over

Sacred mind
We build a new pleasure-dome here
Xanadu
My Xanadu
My Xanadu

Miracle Machine lyrics - Blind Guardian

When they are coming
Give us guidance
For they are calling
To erase the damned
Yet, after all they praise the coming
To erase the damned
They will return
Now let me take you to the other side
Turn off the light and let it grow

They will set it on fire
They come to fool us all

They are slaves to the Fire, you know

Their fire must grow
They have to feed it

We must believe in something
That I would call a miracle
The grail will break the final seal
We must believe in something
A miracle, a miracle machine
We just hide it secretly

No belief, no belief, no belief
Give us what we need

Betrayed by the Nine
I've learned to love the shadows
And now they're coming home
That's why I need you on the other side

And then we, we may carry another light
I summon from the inside, deeper insight

They don't belong here
Though they claim they're right
Let it grow

Turn off the light
Let reason grow

They will set it on fire
They come to fool us all

They are slaves to the Fire, you know

Their fire must grow
They have to feed it

We must believe in something
That I would call a miracle
The grail will break the final seal
We must believe in something
A miracle, a miracle machine
We just hide it secretly

For they are coming
Give us guidance

Grand Parade lyrics - Blind Guardian

Let this game begin
Watch, my children
Watch me
You've all come to die
For this battle is lost
Lost
Losing their minds
Losing their souls
Hush, now hush
We don't talk
We don't care anymore
I will seal every door
We don't care anymore
I summon the Nine now
Confirm the alignment
Can I get through?
Carry on, you fools
Try to break free
When we fail
It's lost forever
When we fail
It's lost forever

It's not real, no reason to be here
No more fear and no more regrets
Don't look back and free your mind
Stay where you are till the sealing is over

Say goodbye, my friend
Here's your promised end
Be a part of the grand parade
Along we're driven
On and on, it's a grand parade
We're one, we're so sorry to say
It's all the same, you will see
On this grand parade
Damnation
Now join the grand parade

Don't be upset
I will seal every door
Every now and then
Seal every door
They'll try to awake the misguided
I will seal every door
The voices you'll hear
They will claim to be real
It's not true

Now look around
We will bring them down
The more I'll show
The less you will know
The Nine will frown
Now see how it grows
Secretly my vision comes true

It's not real
You'll hear it, you'll see it
The otherworld
The otherworld
The otherworld appears

Now round and round
We all shall lose ground
Now praise, I'm the one

We will never fear
We will never fear
We will never fear them again

Oh and here comes the son, the son
He's gone with the shadows
Along with the stars

No more gods, no more lies

No more gods, no war
We'll be free here, we are one
Our will is strong

No more lies and no more tyrants
It all becomes real when the sealing is over

Say goodbye, my friend
Here's your promised end
Be a part of the grand parade
Along we're driven
On and on, it's a grand parade
We're one, we're so sorry to say
It's all the same, you will see
On this grand parade
Damnation
Now join the grand parade

There is no return
It would be the end

We shall sing, we shall sing
Praise the day

Void
We don't fear you no more
Mother void
You can't enter no more

We don't need any hallows
We don't fear any shadows
Shadows on the wall
They're not real
Now, walk in, everyone

Here comes the sun

We will never fall
We will never fall
We will never see him again

Many
We're one
We're humanized
The time has come

This flesh is truth
This blood is real
The highest cause
It's all that we are longing for

There on the river Styx
You'll see, my friend
There on the river Styx
You'll see
They've fooled you to take it away

So no more myths
No more bliss
We are holding it in our hand
And there is nothing they can do

And so this battle ends forevermore
We don't fear anything
Nor any other race
We take control
No longer we act like fools
We're in control

Say goodbye, my friend
Here's your promised end
Be a part of the grand parade
Along we're driven
On and on, it's a grand parade
We're one, we're so sorry to say
It's all the same, you will see
On this grand parade
Damnation
Now join the grand parade

Drown one more time
While we all will say goodbye
Bright, it shines bright
Let us carry one the lie
No more lies, all a lie
One more lie

Distant Memories lyrics - Blind Guardian

Now storm come closer
Can feel you're getting near
Lust stay invisible 'til its over

[Chorus:]
But still they don't know
They're just caught in distant memories
Then these fools will fade away
They may not fear the fall

They won't be anymore
I hear their silent singing
We don't fear anymore
We don't fear him
Now don't come closer
Stand still
Don't interfere
Don't move or things go wrong
We're trapped in twilight
Trapped in the mind of a sacrificial king
And the sun won't shine here anymore
I curse the crow
Dear old friend
And when the time is right for changes
We will salute you
And a new age may begin

[Chorus]

When all the magic is gone
No need to carry it along
Whatever the cost
It will not be redeemed
And whatever may come
It will not bring, relief
In the mirror
They may fail to see
What is real behind
Them it ends
And there is no return
They will go down
They all will have to drown
Out of the dark
Into the grey
These fools will fade away
No matter what
I've come to say
These fools will fade away
A storm comes closer
Can feel you're getting near?
Just stay invisible, you're no savior

[Chorus]

I know they reach out for someone
Reach out for the great unknown

[Chorus]

They've thought
It is time for changes
We will salute you
Moved on to the promised land
We will salute you
Now let it begin
They've found a new god

Doom lyrics - Blind Guardian

How did I get here?
What will I find here?
I've come to meet
The evil one

I understand
There is no sense
The curse lives on
My children mourn

Truth is a beast
With a sad face
A demon
The cruelest of all

Forever
Forever

I'm wondering
Who is it for?
There's nothing more

There is no door
No more lies

You won't enter
You will see
They've locked the secret place out

And day won't come again

So there's no relief
When truth shall be revealed
By now you know the answer
So there's no relief
But revenge

Abandoned, forgotten, deceived
Wherever they may roam
So faithful, so loyal
Still no one will come
You're alone

Don't call it destiny

We will remember
Skies may fade
And stars may wane
We won't forget
And your light shines bright
Yes, so much brighter
Shine on
We will remember
Until the skies will fall
We won't forget
We will remember
We all shall follow doom

It's going down
Going down
And there's nothing you can do

Look into my eyes
And see
Your seed
It may grow
This is no vision

It's the curse I set upon your kin
You'll be deceived

Their cries shall come true
It shall be me
You blame
Now watch and see
I'll set doom
Upon you
Your offspring shall bloom
Wherever they may roam
I'll bind them
I'll split them
In solitude
Sorrow shall grow
Unknown

We will remember
Skies may fade
And stars may wane
We won't forget
And your light shines bright
Yes, so much brighter
Shine on
We will remember
Until the skies will fall
We won't forget
We will remember
We all shall follow doom

There is no choice
There's repentance
'Cause nothing will grow here at all
Redeem the oath
And pay the price
If you want

Here on these fields
Where truth shall be revealed
In doom you'll find the answers
Still there's no release
You shall feel

Let's face it
Since everything's shown
You've been through this alone
The deeper the wounds
So much greater the sorrows will grow
There is no sense in it

We will remember
Skies may fade
And stars may wane
We won't forget
And your light shines bright
Yes, so much brighter
Shine on
We will remember
Until the skies will fall
We won't forget
We will remember
We all shall follow doom

Merry Xmas Everybody lyrics - Blind Guardian

(originally by Slade)

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does he turn up on his sleigh?
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

So here it is
Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you've got the room to spare inside?
Does your Granny always tell you
That the old songs are the best
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest

So here it is
Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

What will your daddy do
When he sees your mama
Kissing Santa Claus?
Aha

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will to start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside
In a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been slayed

So here it is
Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

So here it is
Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

So here it is
Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun (It's Christmas)
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

The Tides Of War lyrics - Blind Guardian

Call the wind, I hail thee
But sail on through the storm
There's fire in my mind, fire in my mind
Fire in my mind, fire in my mind

There's no escape
And there's no return
The blood and smoke behind us
It's now out of sight
Tears you might be crying
But it's over now
For a higher cause we've come
So just keep your hate alive

The tides of war (the tides of war)
We've come to face it in these lands
We've come to face it in these lands
The Curse of Fëanor

No sorrow, no loss I count the ones behind
Come follow, don't turn your back and let 'em whine
The grief is real, the pain I feel
It's not what I've been longing for
They shall be free, they'll be released
They can't get over the sea

They were following in vain
Burning vessels, burning hope
Needless baggage on the road
Let 'em curse me, let 'em blame
They may have faced their journey's end

Boats at distant shore they burn
The wind still carries smoke
In Araman we've seen Teleri's work on fire
Across the ice, aflamed
To take revenge, ashamed
Betrayed by the insane Fëanor

You've gone too far, you've come to fail
Fëanor
All done in vain, by the oath
You delivered our doom

The tides of war (the tides of war)
We've come to face it in these lands
We've come to face it in these lands
The Curse of Fëanor

Boats at distant shore they burn
The wind still carries smoke
In Araman we've seen Teleri's work on fire
Across the ice, aflamed
To take revenge, ashamed
Betrayed by the insane Fëanor

We've gone too far, we've come to fail
Fëanor
Yet we have reached the promised land
Oh, Fëanor

The tides of war (the tides of war)
We've come to face it in these lands
We've come to face it in these lands
The Curse of Fëanor

Valkyries (Demo) lyrics - Blind Guardian

How the gods of the North [?]
I turn myself to Vahalla
When I cry for Vahalla [?]

Rain I hear it's falling down
Returning mess is how I'll not survive

Here I am waiting, I can not deny you
Battle rages on

We've reached for something
We're crushing the line and the river will be sold
Unleashed our minds
Show me a way to survive
My inner world

The dream is over
There'll it be the one
Valkyries
A battle is raging

When the battle is lost and the chances are given
Walk with me I'm not alone
When the battle is lost and the chances are given
Walk with me I'm not alone

And denies
Telling you the same old story
Go on there
Let's move on to another

Path you walk
Let's move on fast
We'll turn the light and we wash away all fear
Let's all we wash away the fear
Don't tell me
That it won't go

So I can hear
Trial by fire
You know my name
In the part of the dark

And fire the light the light
Yes fire the light the light

The dream is over
There'll it be the one
Valkyries
A battle is raging

When the battle is lost and the chances are given
Walk with me I'm not alone
When the battle is lost and the chances are given
Walk with me I'm not alone

We've reached for something
We're crushing the line and the river will be sold
Unleashed our minds
Show me a way to survive
My inner world

The dream is over
There'll it be the one
Valkyries
A battle is raging in time of the shadow
I can't believe we're chasing twilight
Hold me and touch me
And tie this my besting

When the battle is lost and the chances are given
Walk with me I'm not alone
When the battle is lost and the chances are given
Walk with me I'm not alone until my time will fall
And king will come

A rights to all
Walk with me I'm not alone

I touch my mind
Myself away
When I find Vahalla away

Violent Shadows (WWW Live Performance) lyrics - Blind Guardian

Don't turn away
Don't close your eyes
In false pride
Will you protect the light
Reflect or shine
That's your choice
We're heading straight into damnation
For an unknown God
It needs a lions heart
It needs a pure soul
Or we're condemned

I will not surrender let it be
I will not surrender

Now bring me your sacraments
The dead will not complain about it
Time it makes no difference
No difference

That's why we should never cross the water
We ride into
The Raging storm
Hatred's never ending
Take us to break free
Skydancer
Down where the violent shadows breed
Hide in the underworld
Underworld
Skydancer
Hide where the violent shadows creep

Drown your pride
Young slave
Obey your master
That's all I can teach
Obey your master

Now bring me your sacraments
The dead will not complain about it
Try it makes no difference
No difference

Come out and believe it
Now bring your precious daughter
Get out
Reach out and believe it
Now listen and

Take us to break free
Skydancer
Down where the violent shadows breed
Hide in the underworld
Underworld
Skydancer
Hide where the violent shadows creep

Now bring me your sacraments
The dead will not complain about it
Cry it makes no difference
No difference

A bridgeman should never cross the border
Now come and face
The raging storm
Hate it's never ending
Take us to break free
Sky-dancer
Down where the violent shadows breed
Hide in the underworld
Underworld
Skydancer
Hide where the violent shadows creep

Now bring me your sacraments
The dead will not complain about it
Time it makes no difference
No difference

A bridgeman should never cross the border
Now come and face
The raging storm
Hate it's never ending
Take us to break free
Sky-dancer
Down where the violent shadows breed
Hide in the underworld
Underworld
Skydancer
Hide where the violent shadows creep

In violent shadows we're all condemned
In violent shadows we're all condemned
In violent shadows we're all condemned
In violent shadows

Sacred Worlds Lyrics – Blind Guardian

The realm's bleeding
it suffers -
Old an weak

No further arguing
There is war at hand
The system's failing
Engine's running

Then after all
I sense the end is dawning
These lunatics deny the truth

I know I will not fail
There'll be

War
It's now or never
We shall stand together
One by one
This world is sacred
I'm coming home
War
It's now or never
We shall stand together
One by one
This world is sacred
I'm coming home

Coming home

You chase in twilight
and you know
you will be on your own
on your own

The misery shown
I'll be alone in this hour
I face the unknown
Witness the end

I'm bleeding. I'm fading
Here in my final hour
When long lost memories return
And a voice keeps calling
"All dead and gone
it's out of hand
Life is in motion"
I'm wishing. I'm fading
"Time to wake up
face the truth"

I'm sinking
I'm drowning
There's no doubt and no regret
"Time to reveal now"
This is no illusion
It is real
Carry on the flame
It's not over now
Watch me, I will rise
Time to reveal now

I know I will not fail
Anymore

I'm the one forever
All that really matters
Blessed realm
This world is sacred
I'm coming home
War
It's now or never
We shall stand together
One by one
This world is sacred
I'm coming home

Yesterday's gone
There's no today, no tomorrow
I'm raised from the dead
The ritual failed

There at the gates
I'm left alone in this hour
Driven insane
I am left alone

And now i drown in deepest shadows
While the golden hall is sealed
I'm wishing
I'm fading
And I'm part of the machine
My eyes are the eyes of a dead man
and feel the unholy stream

The source of my power
T-energy
I'm in control

I will live forever
All that really matters
Blessed realm
This world is sacred
I'm coming home
War
It's now or never
We shall stand together
One by one
This world is sacred
I'm coming home

I spread my wings
But keep on falling
I should have known
I can see it coming
The war is over
There's whispering in the wind
Just let me out of here
There is no way
There's no end
While all the suffering goes on
All that I know
Is that I'm not insane
It's not over

Tanelorn Lyrics – Blind Guardian

I travel a dusty old road
And carry on in ultimate terror
The torture will grow
While infinity's lost
The lunatic fears the unknown

Into the fire
Curse me
Unknown
Into the fire
Everything is gone

Did I miss the point
Or fail to see
That I am lost
Cause I am chosen

Crush another tower
Grind the universe
I'll fear it into pieces
Mourn forevermore
And here I

Cry for Tanelorn
Still I fear their voices
Cry for Tanelorn
No more fear, no voices
Cry for Tanelorn
Into the void this journey ends
Cry for Tanelorn
The dawn comes crashing down
Into the void

My locked up asylum
Don't turn your back
On your prodigal son
When terror is raging
Still my hate will grow

Here on my own
I've built a pyre
Oh, fire
Here on my own
I've wasted life
So weak

A dark sword
A black soul
My soulmate gets near
Deceiver
Deceiver

I'm banned from the island
Refuse my, deny me
I'm pale and I'm weak
Now I don't belong here anymore

Cry for Tanelorn
Still I fear their voices
Cry for Tanelorn
No more fear, no voices
Cry for Tanelorn
Into the void this journey ends
Cry for Tanelorn
The dawn comes crashing down
Into the void

The trouble of many I've seen
It's coming to an end
Here's my last stand
The torture at last
Will be gone with the past
Infinity. Where will I go?

Into the fire
Curse me
In war
Into the fire
Everything is gone

It's your blood I desire
The last soul I require
Right alter all the damage will down

And here I
Cry for Tanelorn
Still I fear their voices
Cry for Tanelorn
No more fear, no voices
"Feeding my void
Feeding my void
Here at the edge. I claim your soul"
Cry for Tanelorn
The dawn comes crashing down
Into the void

Stormbringer
All hail stormbringer

Road Of No Release Lyrics – Blind Guardian

[Dead girl:]
Please, sister, wake up
you've traveled far
Release my mind
Sing this song of mine
Save me from drowning
Quick, cast your spell on me
I sense you're finally getting near
Can you hear me crying?
I've got to break the silence

[The lover:]
I know they're out there
Play hide and seek
watching
My love is wasted

[The storyteller:]
My worst dreams
I can't leave them
I'm the black queen
Here in barren lands

[The fox:]
When you walk down
You may not find relief
will you go down there
I wonder
Wonder why

[All:]
Here on this road of no release
Pale reign of misery
That even time cannot erase
On through my sorrows
Life will go on

[Dead girl:]
Words and dreams unite
I hear an ancient voice
It's calling for me
When death and life collide
I hear an ancient song

[The resurrected girl:]
Deep inside
I can't find myself
Can't remember at all
The past and my strange end
come guide me now
Can't remember my fall
There's something
There's someone
It's ain't over now
The void - There's more to it
It's real and still alive

[The necromancer:]
I will find you
Slipping away
I'll bind you
Still I conquer the world
Take him away

[All:]
Here on this road of no release
Pale reign of misery
That even time cannot erase
On through my sorrows
Life will go on

[The fox:]
My last steps
Can't leave her
I, the old fox
Will take revenge

[Old man:]
I cannot heal your fear and doubts
The void, It waits for us
Still, After all the ghosts are howling
You cannot run, you cannot hide
The void, it waits for us
Still after all there is no choice

[All:]
Here on this road of no release
Pale reign of misery
That even time cannot erase
On through my sorrows
Life will go on

[The girl:]
Find me, I'm drowning
Then once again
There's nothing left I fear
There's nothing more to say
And no more games to play
to play

Ride Into Obsession Lyrics – Blind Guardian

Come, I show you the end
You're dammed
Cause no one can defy me
Just watch these maddened creatures
Like you they all once reached out
A war to win
But I'm gonna burn this vision down

Call me the father of lies
Just watch these saddened creatures
they've torned you into their savior

You hold your ground
Until your last breath
You'll twist then turn
and now you're falling down

The battle rages on
And forever and ever
The wheel will turn

Let ages come and go
The will turn now
The wheel will turn
Another ride into obsession
I am reborn
The wheel will turn now
And I am driven to obsession

All these dying men
try to understand
They all followed the sign

Ir's a cyrcle's end
There no hope
for a while
From the ashes arise

Can't save her
Enjoy the flames
So precious, so pure

and you try
You're sure to fail
And madness
Is the price you've to pay

Unholy grounds
Witness your last breath
The cyrcle ends
And you're stumbling

The battle will go on
and forever and ever
It's raging on

Let ages come and go
The wheel will turn now
The wheel will turn
Another ride into obsession
I am reborn
The wheel will turn now
And I'm driven to obsession

Through the flames you'll see me
You'll be mine, believe me
This is the moment I long for

Wake up there's a storm to face and
Right now while the land lies bleeding
It's me, I conquer your soul

Still I'll be on my way
Oh light, let me out of here I pray

And over and over and over again
There is no beginning
No end

This war, it still goes on
And forever and ever
I will return

Let ages come and go
The wheel will turn now
The wheel will turn
Another ride into obsession
I am reborn
The wheel will turn now
And I'm driven to obsession

Light - so serene
True source reign over me
There's no end and
There's no beginning
"You will never be alone"

Curse My Name Lyrics – Blind Guardian

The tenure of kings and their magistrates
By good men it must be deposed
The convenant made can be voided at once
Disanoint him, take his crown

They plead for their king
And they pity their lord
Put him to death, that's what I say

Though never so just these dancing divines
Endue him with reason and grace
They're gibberish
Words dissemble the facts
God's will
They falsely will claim

Let him curse my name
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name
But remember the truth

So there they come
From everywhere
They witness revenge
Hear them calling
"You're laden with blood
It's spilled everywhere
And sorrow's everlasting

Oh you'll be aware now
That trial is near
It's close at hand
The masquerade is over
It ends
Remove his crown
and bring him down
Now we shall mourn no longer
Our prayers they've been heard
There's no more league
That will bind us to the tyrant
Our voices shall be heard
Cause we won't take it anymore

And we're one we are the nation
And we're one we are the law"

Falsely they praise
Deify his majesty
"He's blessed the anointed's
Fulfilling god's will"
Curse them all
No further he's king
Providence brought him straight into our hands

Let him curse my name
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name But remember the truth

Now let him appear
There's joy in the air
Now witness a new age is dawning
In trouble alone
He's facing despair
Awaiting his bitter ending

We all know he's guilty as charged
By punishment due to his crime
We sacrifice the wicked king
Acknowledged by scriptures and law

Let him curse my name
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name But remember the truth
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name But remember the truth
We won't take it anymore
Our voice it shall be heard
But I will remember the truth
We won't take it anymore
Our voice it shall be heard
But I will remember the truth

Valkyries Lyrics – Blind Guardian

To the gods of the north, I pray
And raise my cup for the fallen ones
Then I cry
In Valhalla they'll sing

Rain
Red blood keeps pouring down
Come Valkyries, join me on that final ride

Here I lie bleeding
Odin, I await thee

The battle rages on

New lines they're weaving
The future, the past and the present
They're one
They will reveal their mask
To show me a way to survive
This bitter war

Soon it will be over
He will be the one
We'll weave in

And terror will now rule these lands

When the battle is lost
And the slain ones are chosen
Valkyries will guide us home
When the battle is lost
And the slain ones are chosen
Valkyries will guide us home

Destiny
A spinning wheel
The path of glory
Round and round
come join us
On your final ride to Asgard
Let's move on fast
allfather waits
So let's heed the final call

For now
We leave this world behind
It's over

All glory to the brave
Still blood will rain
Through storm and fire
Let war winds reign
It's the feast for the crows

Follow the light
Just follow the light
Or fade away

Soon it will be over
He will be the one
We'll weave in
and terror will now rule these lands

When the battle is lost
And the slain ones are chosen
Valkyries will guide us home
When the battle is lost
And the slain ones are chosen
Valkyries will guide us home

We'll keep on weaving
We're crushing through lines
With our battering swords
We're marching on
Assign the brave
To survive
This bitter war

Soon it will be over
He will be the one
We'll weave in

And terror will now rule these lands

When the battle is lost
And the slain ones are chosen
Valkyries will guide us home
When the battle is lost
And the slain ones are chosen
Valkyries will guide us home
We'll heed the final call
A call to arms
The valkyries will guide us home

The finally I hear them say
Carry on
For Valhalla awaits you

Control The Divine Lyrics – Blind Guardian

For what I was
I'm doomed to be
The tempter and the secret foe
Cause I am hell and hell is me
Pure hate will grow

Still I claim to be the chosen one and
still I claim
This is rebellion rising

First amongst equals
We're bound to no law
There's no one before us
Ethereal sons
Now disobey
Awake and arise
You'll be free

How can we take it away
From someone who has no right?
No right to control the divine
Night shall invade
Suspicion awakes
Wherefore he's grater than I

Stay silent
Until the end of the world
So just like slaves we may deem him
Dead silence
Until the end of the world
Hence from this moment we're doomed
I feel
It hurts though
Disburdened spirits we will be
I've learned my lesson
Pure and sore
And offer divine
We're far beneath them

They consider us slaves
They steal our pride
Don't trust them blindly
Cause truth they conceal
As it seems
I'll reign
Cause here in my tower
Impassioned, I'll show you a way
I can feel your hallowed rage
Now enter my realm
Awake and arise, you'll be free

How can we take it away
From someone who has no right?
No right to control the divine
Night shall invade
Suspicion awakes
Wherefore he's grater than I

Descend - just keep moving
all things shall proceed
It's freedom you're choosing
Preserve our hate
Eternalize
Awake and arise
To be free

How can we take it away
From someone who has no right?
No right to control the divine
Night shall invade
Suspicion awakes
Wherefore he's grater than I
How can we take it away
From someone who has no right?
No right to control the divine
Night shall invade
Suspicion awakes
Wherefore he's grater than I

War Of The Thrones Lyrics – Blind Guardian

Nothing will grow here
Icy fields - blackened sorrow
Legacy of a lost mind
Feed my void
What you're waiting for

I'm too late
It is more than a game
The river reveals
Now I'm in between these lines
I cannot escape it seems
Sail on, my friend

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Walls they fall
When the march of the others begin

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Rise and fall
When the War of the Thrones shall begin

While I sit there in silence
Come and talk to me
I can't free my mind
It is all I'm begging for

While I sit there in silence

Will it ever end?
Will I find what I'm longing for?
Will I ever walk out of the shadows so grey?
I'm condemned, I am hallowed
Icy fields they won't hurt anymore

Will you walk with me?
Any further
There at world's end
It's me
I sing

I cannot escape it seems
Sadly I sing

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Walls they fall
When the march of the others begin

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Rise and fall
When the War of the Thrones shall begin

Away
Watch the river it flows
Now and ever
I cannot believe in more
And now my time will come
Carry on

Will I ever learn from the past?
Will I fade away?
Will I ever stay where the shadows will grow?
There is luck at the gallows
I will free my mind
Soon it will show

Let it rain
There'll be no spring
My dream is a mirror
It reveals a matter of lies

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Rise and fall
When the War of the Thrones shall begin

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Rise and fall
When the War of the Thrones shall begin

Leave a free for the tillerman
And the river behind

A Voice In The Dark Lyrics – Blind Guardian

A sense of denial
Come witness my trial
The crow has turned into a liar
I'll live, I may die
I've failed though I've tried
But finally I fly

It is the fool
Who puts faith in false saviors
The innocent understands
He's still falling

And furthermore
He's now aware
“Come spread your wings
Awake now”
The enemy within
Will soon appear

You're trapped in my mind
Ask for the key
Don't search for fine lines
There's no release

Though I can feel its presence
There's a sign to reveal
Then after all
I'm sure I'll keep on falling

They send a sign
When dead winter will come again
There from the ruins I will rise

Fear the voice in the dark
Be aware now
Believe in dark wings and dark words
The shadow returns
Fear the voice in the dark
Be aware now
Black shadows they hide and they wait
But they soon will return

It will never be the same
And nothing remains
I can't find a way
But I'm facing it
Oh there will be no savior

I can foresee all the pain
They are about to creep in
“Curse me, hate me, hurt me, kill me”
Oh they will rest no longer

“Paralyzed and frozen
Free your mind
You're broken
Paralyzed and frozen
Learn to roam
Don't look back”

On stunning fields of mayhem
I will find no relief
It's just a dream
I wish that I could tell you

The vision fades
There is no sanctuary
What will go up
Surely comes down

Fear the voice in the dark
Be aware now
Believe in dark wings and dark words
The shadow returns
Fear the voice in the dark
Be aware now
Black shadows they hide and they wait
But they soon will return

In vain
Still I don't understand
So talk to me again
Why do I fear these words?
What keeps holding me back?

I hear a voice
It comes from everywhere
“Now find a way
Cause you're the key
Begin to understand”

The descending ends
Now I know I won't fly again
On through the mist, I'm facing ground

Fear the voice in the dark
Be aware now
Believe in dark wings and dark words
The shadow returns
Fear the voice in the dark
Be aware now
Black shadows they hide and they wait
But they soon will return

Wheel Of Time Lyrics – Blind Guardian

Now there is no end
The wheel will turn, my friend

I'm in flames
Cause I have touched the light
It pulls me son
we shall be one
Forevermore
That's all I want
It's all I need
Everything is fixed
There's no chance
There's no choice

It's calling me
"Saidin"
So precious and sweet
My mind keeps fading away

It's scratching deeper
My sole reliever
How can I find you now?

Passing through the flames
I see
How terror will rise
It soon will be over
Oh Father of lies
Like foul winds at twilight
It's coming over me
What was and what will be?
What is?
I don't know

Driving me insane
Just feel the heat
Madness creeps in
I'll tear it down

There's no end
Wheel of time
It keeps on spinning
There's no beginning
Turn the wheel of time
There's no beginning
Just keep on spinning

Light - it binds me
Light - it blinds me
Light - it finds me
Light denies me now

I creep along
So desperate and tired
Let me ask you
Why?
I am what I am
Prophecies I am the chosen
"Taveren"
The flame will grow
Feel the heat
I'll keep on breathing
After all there's no tomorrow

Wheel of time
Save my soul, find a way
And if I fail, will it all be over
Oh wheel of time

The vision
So fleeting and vague
Once again I will bring down the mountain
One last glimpse
It is constantly slipping away

The young man said
"I will never give up"
The inner war
I can hold against it
My mind, my mind
My mind's in darkness

The young man says
"I will never give in"
The prophecy Behold It's true
I conquer the flame
To release the insane
I'm crying
I cannot erase
I'm the dragon reborn
and in madness
I soon shall prevail
Twice I'll be marked and
Twice I shall live
The heron sets my path
And name me true
Twice I'll be marked and
Twice I shall die
My memory's gone
But twice I pay the price

wheel of time
Save my soul
find a way
May it be as the pattern has chosen
Oh, wheel of time
Turn the wheel of time
It keeps on spinning
There's no beginning
There's no end, wheel of time
There's no beginning
Just keep no spinning

Shine on
Embrace and deny me
Turn on, wheel of time
Shine on
You've burnt, now guide me
Weave on, wheel of time
Oh wheel of time

Another Stranger Me Lyrics – Blind Guardian

A seed of doubt
It exists
And it grows
A glimpse of life
From somewhere deep within
Awake and understand

Is there anyone else here?
Somebody's screaming
Please help me
Let's find out now
That I am not dreaming
Welcome to my damnation
Here it comes the real me

I didn't know
I couldn't hear the answer
My mind was blank
I should've known
I hold it back but somehow
There is someone else
Another stranger me
Another stranger me

That's
When the ice
Will break away

I can't get out of here
Anymore
Cause none of my keys
Fit the door

There's fear and anger
Hate and love
I must confess
It's out of hand

It's physic
It's cynic
Still cynic
All my laughter

It's cynic
Just manic
It's cynic
All her laughter

If there's anyone in
It soon will be over
We'll burn out
Our soul's aflamed
And we're on our own now
Give up you cruel invasion
You're insane I'll show you

I didn't know
I couldn't hear the answer
My mind was blank
I should've known
I hold it back but somehow
There is someone else
Another stranger me
Another stranger me

Out and gone
Can't resist
Cold and sore
The bolt of pain
Keeps ripping through my head
I can take no more

Don't tell anyone else but I
Do not believe her
She hates me
I cloud my mind
She's a deceiver
I can feel cruel vibrations
Would you like to meet me

I didn't know
I couldn't hear the answer
My mind was blank
I should've known
I hold it back but somehow
There is someone else
Another stranger me
Another stranger me

All The King's Horses Lyrics – Blind Guardian

I can feel I'm one
With the tortured land
With its solitude and decay
There's no one left
All the other men
Pass on through the night

All dead and gone
Still I don't dare to move
The imprisoned soul
Cannot find back home

Snow falls down
It covers field and blood
Snow falls down
And clears the view

It is cold

And once again
The battle's fought
Out on the plains
So rhymes spread out its glory
But
No rhyme defines its pain

I can't recall all their names
Connection broke loose
They've crossed the lake
Reach the other side
And leave me alone
With the truth

All the king's horses
And all the king's men
They've failed to damn the flood
They've failed to find the grail
Talisien, old friend of mine
Sing my song

Then once again
The battle's lost
I am to blame
Snow falls down
All dead and gone
They all are dead and gone
They've turned to dust
They've sealed the past
A long long time ago

I can't recall all their names
Connection broke loose
They've crossed the lake
Reach the other side
And leave me alone
With the truth

I can't recall all their names
Connection broke loose
They've crossed the lake
Reach the other side
And leave me alone
With the truth

Dream A Little Dream Of Me Lyrics – Blind Guardian

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longin' to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars shining up above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Yes, dream a little dream of me

Lionheart (Demo Version) Lyrics – Blind Guardian

Just let me out of here
Speak to me
It all would be easier
I want to talk to you
Who is that?
Do I hear a whisper?
Or do I hear a cry?
Across the brown land
The stumps of time

Oh turn the wheel and heal me
Since moonlights fade
I'm empty - heal me

I'm in search of the Lionheart
I am ashamed
I myself can't make it
Drown Ulysses
Drown here in the silence
Cause down to Hades I've gone
But I cannot get out

Down below
I can't free my mind
Soon I will fade away
Down below
I can't free my mind
Soon I will fade

"Tic Tac" is the message
And the lunatic fears
He is no more

Speak to me
It all would be easier
While I'm passing by
What's that?
Do I hear a whisper?
Or do I hear a cry?
Across the brown land
The ghost arrives

Pick up my bones and
Tell me
Is this the "Lake of Fire"?
Hell?
Please

I'm in search of the Lionheart
Nobody else
But the pure can save me
Drown Ulysses
Drown here in the silence
Cause down to Hades I've gone
But I cannot get out

Ruins rule my memories
I can't recall the signs
Invite the dead
Then silence struck my mind

Silence is madness
"Tic Tac Tic Tactic"
Says the clock

Just let me out of here
Speak to me
It all would be easier
I want to talk to you
Hear me

Welcome to this sad place
And hand me what is mine
I'm the Theban prophet
The dead and blind

And from the sea you'll feel me
Then you'll breath out gently
Leave me

I'm in search of the Lionheart
I am ashamed
I myself can't make it
Drown Ulysses
Drown here in the silence
Cause down to Hades I've gone
But I cannot get out

The Edge (Demo Version) Lyrics – Blind Guardian

The world turned innocent
Can you hear me?
I confess I'm no redeemer
Can you hear me?
What shall I do?

I witnessed everything
Faith won't leave me
Mind my tongue
It's like a fire
Faith don't leave me
Glow into words

This is the edge now
It's all we're living for
Rain on me
Love you will rain on me
And at the end I
Boast in the cross
And now
Love reigns -
The god incarnation
I've shaped

Out there is a world on fire

Accursed the hanged one
Divine love for free
What a fateful night
And a grateful life
The choir echoes
"Every man his price"

Price
Light my agony
And crucify me
Void the law
At the ninth hour
Void the law
At the ninth hour

This is the edge now
It's all we're living for
Rain on me
Love you will rain on me
And at the end I
Boast in the cross
And now
Love reigns -
The god incarnation
I've shaped

The world turns flesh again
Mystified are the final hours
No more fear in
No more fear in

Passover
The brook
Time it is at hand
Obscure the facts
A passion play

This is the edge now
It's all we're living for
Rain on me
Love you will rain on me
And at the end I
Boast in the cross
And now
Love reigns -
The god incarnation
I've shaped

Hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be thy name

No more fear in ...

Come take a look
The old symbols they move
Wounds still bleed
That's creed
No more fear in ...
Can you see me?
Come take a look
At the depth of my soul

single: "Fly" (2006)

Fly Lyrics – Blind Guardian

Stop, be quiet now
Out with the light and,
Then up and down it goes
Fly out with the light
There at the door,
The Inspiration I´ve looked for,
The Spirit of the youth appears

No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
It's make believe, make believe

No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
But One day it all will come to life

Step out of line
And I'll teach you how to fly
The Away we´ll go
Leave your mark, leave your mark in the land of mine

The second one to the right
And then Straight on until morning light

Stop, be quiet now
No irritation
No not the slightest doubt

We go at once
Quick - We better hurry,
There from the road I sense
The end of fun gets near
Wonderful thoughts and imaginations
These dreams will lift you up

What is it like? You ask me, my dear
Will there be fairies, or things to fear
For fairies sake I'd say you better come with me
So soon you´ll see,
Now up and down it goes and round
Round and round and round,

Praise to my cleverness
They all follow me,
All praise to innocence
That's everything it needs,
Fly in,
Fly out,
They leave it all behind

No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
It's make believe,
Make believe
No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
But One day it will all come to life

Step out of line
And I'll teach you how to fly
The Away we´ll go
Leave your mark land of mine
Leave your mark in the land of mine

[Solo]

Life is a map and it is quite confusing
The lights are up now let the play begin
She flies, she flies,
Into the light she flies
No words like "ust" in mind
She's finding Neverland
There on the day she dies
Don't stop it now,
She still enjoys the scene
Don't stop it now,
Don't stop it now,
Don't stop it now,
Don't stop it now, now, now

No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
It's make believe,
Make believe
No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
But One day it will all come to life

Step out of line
And I'll teach you how to fly
The Away we´ll go
Leave your mark land of mine
Leave your mark in the land of mine

Scalds And Shadows Lyrics – Blind Guardian

Would you believe in a night like this?
A night like this, when visions come true
Would you believe in a tale like this?
A lay of bliss, we're praising the old lore
Come to the blazing fire and
See me in the shadows
See me in the shadows

Songs I will sing
Of runes and rings
Just hand me my harp
This night turns into myth
Nothing seems real
But you soon will feel
The world we live in is another t´s
Dream in the shadows
Dream in the shadows

Do you believe there is sense in it?
Is it truth or myth?
They´re one in my ryhmes
Nobody knows the meaning behind
The weaver´s line
Well nobody else but the Noms can
See through the blazing fires of time and
All things will proceed as the
Child of the hallowed
Will speak to you now
See me in the shadows
See me in the shadows

Songs I will sing of tribes and kings
The carrion bird and the hall of the slain
Nothing seems real
You soon will feel
The world we live in is another Skald´s
Dream in the shadows
Dream in the shadows

Do not fear for my reason
There's nothing to hide
How bitter your treason
How bitter the lie
Remember the runes and remember the light
All I ever want is to be at your side
We gladden the raven
Now I will run through the blazing fires
That's my choice
'Cause things shall procede as foreseen

In A Gadda Da Vida Lyrics – Blind Guardian

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, honey,
Don't you know that I love you?
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby,
Don't you know that I'll always be true?

Oh, won't you come with me
And take my hand?

Oh, won't you come with me
And walk this land?

Please take my hand!

"A Twist In The Myth" (2006)

This Will Never End Lyrics – Blind Guardian

Once upon a time
No more words to say
Find me in the circle
Find me in the end

I am the soul collector
Dressed in ebony,
There are no rules
But only one

There's someone young sister,
Caught in the border
Let's get in contact
By the laws of mine

I have told
That this will never end (this will never end)
Things go on
But nothing will last,
Only the fool in me believes
There is sense in it.
In distant shores of grief
It's over now!

Far out in space
I ride on,
Time is chasing us all,
It's not quite how it seems,
It's just a dream.

I don't believe
In a soul out of god
It's just twisted!
Fellow
You do not understand.

Each single breath inspires
you to come to an end - expire.

Rise up my sister
Let's cross the border,
Reveal the secret
One more soul to burn

I have told
That this will never end (this will never end)
Things go on
But nothing will last,
Only the fool in me believes
There is sense in it.
In distant shores of grief
It's over now!

Something I'm close to,
something left to do
Draw near and prove yourself for brightening
Prepare yourself, don't wait for me,
Expect the day when I come

You have reached out for a while,
You may feel (down),
There's a wreck there, don't turn your eyes

Don't visions bleak,
And its colour's black,
Oh far beyond there is a star in dying sun

I have told
That this will never end (this will never end)
Things go on
But nothing will last,
Only the fool in me believes
There is sense in it.
In distant shores of grief
It's over now!

Otherland Lyrics – Blind Guardian

They rule the land
They're in command
They hold all the strings in hand
They are invisible
Out of sight
They've designed
A secret place
To play their games
A world, they're in control
Divine law
Divine law
Be aware
Now
Mind your steps
We are uninvited guests,
They may find and catch us
Don't forget
Do what I say
Now connect
Don't even ask
Until we're out of it
Everything's at highest stake
Come take a look
We are in
Take a breath
But don't forget
It isn't real
It isn't true
An illusion
Nothing more

You're a part of the game
You're a slave to the grind
Oblivion
Is your key to the Otherland
You're a part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
By now you understand

You're a part of the game
You're a slave to the grind
Oblivion
You're welcome to the Otherland
You're a part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
By now you understand

We get closer
There's no better way
Lullaby Lane
Fade is on its way

The inner district
Is the place you need to know
It's overwhelming
So let's rest here for a while

Someone else appears
Silently
Watch me when I fall down
Everything seems real
Suddenly
Perfect simulation

Come take a look
Breathe it in
Artificial wonderlands
We are wandering around
Things shall vanish
They won't last
Now I know
You understand
This world is not true
Nothing is real
Nothing at all
It's bits and pieces
We walk through

You're a part of the game...

You're a part of the game
You're a slave to the grind
Oblivion
You've reached the promised land
You're a part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
Welcome to the Otherland

Wait
I can feel things are not right
Do not breathe
Don't look behind,
There's someone else
The observer

A trick of light
A fading line
The entrance is gone
We can't get out of it
We are slightly losing ground

Quick
It is time
We shall go
We better leave
And don't come back,
No way to run
Nowhere to hide
I fear
We're walking aimlessly

You're a part of the game...

You're a part of the game
You're a slave to the grind
Oblivion
Welcome to the Otherland
You're a part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
You've reached
The promised land

You've crossed the line
You've reached the end

Turn The Page Lyrics – Blind Guardian

Hunter
We're here to praise your name,
Blazing sun
And a bitter death
You're a guardian
Cross the gate

Wake up it is a new dawning
Wake up the witches wait
For you
Remember the mirror
When she looked in
You were born in the void
In the middle of none
There was nobody else
There was nothing at all
Well sons and daughters
Joy's in the air
The horned one dies
Renewal
Everywhere

Turn the wheel again
A new beginning
Another end
Dried out the land needs blood
Inside the ring we're waiting
Give up yourself
Enter life

It's set out for you
Come turn the wheel
There is nothing to fear
Come turn the wheel
Come turn the page
Come turn the page

We do not believe in lies
Do not believe in lies
There is someone coming
There is someone coming
We hear a voice
From underworld
Now everything should move
When a new day begins

God of wind and god of rain
Turn the wheel
Oh you would better be aware
The mermaids
They will sing for you
The nymphs will bless the child

Reunite them
Sacrifice him

We will be with you until the end
Come move our hearts
We know
There is light beyond the dark

Dried out we cry for blood
Conquer your fear and join us
Come join us now
Time is right

It's set out for you...

A new beginning
Another end
The myth of life
You hold in your hand
We cry out
The land needs blood
The change of season
Praise to the newborn king

It's set out for you...
