It's written in stone... my way... my path... it leads me home...
Storming, the gate, the dragons
Storming, the gate, the dragons, gate

High above the sky, where golden dragons fly
In this mystic land, that lies beyond all time
A holy place so free, for all eternity
But in the distant fields, they see a shadow arise

Woe to the dragons - they're about to die
Storming the dragons' gate, the battle rages hard
Storming the dragons' gate, they're ripped apart
Storming the dragons' gate, the battle rages hard
Storming the dragons' gate, they're ripped apart

One by one they fall, hear the demons' call
He sends his legions of hate, against the dragons' light
In order to erase, eternal enemies
The land is turning red, drinking the blood of the dead

Woe to the dragons - they're about to die
Storming the dragons' gate, the battle rages hard
Storming the dragons' gate, they're ripped apart
Storming the dragons' gate, the battle rages hard
Storming the dragons' gate, they?re ripped apart

After the battle is gone, there is left just one
This one was hiding while he saw the others die
When he swears revenge, hate burns in his heart
He shall never rest, until this fire is gone

Last of the dragons - seeking for revenge
Stormed was the dragons' gate, their destiny is hard
Stormed was the dragons' gate, they were ripped apart
Stormed was the dragons' gate, their destiny is hard
Stormed was the dragons' gate, they were ripped apart

Moon is riding high in the sky, its light cannot deceive
That I'm lost here in this time, one point still far to go
To overcome eternal distance, time is running away
On my long and scary journey, to break the spell

Banished into ancient times
My destiny will never die
Follow the guiding light
Lost in a strange and foreign time

On the path I have to go, alone but not lonely
I listen to my inner voice, I trace my senses
I'm in need of company, someone to help me
To get back to my own world, to leave this land

Banished into ancient times
My destiny will never die
Follow the guiding light
Lost in a strange and foreign time

Think about the ancient times
Of a time passed by
How long will my quest last
My world?s so far away
Millions of ages in between
Will I ever get back
I'm left here on my own
Will I ever reach
The place that I call home

Banished into ancient times
My destiny will never die
Follow the guiding light
Lost in a strange and foreign time

In dark and endless nights
Fire's giving gloomy light
In the great hall we sit together
While outside the stormclouds gather
An oaken table,mighty walls
The glory circle in these halls
Listen to songs of forgotten aeons
The story of the nightmare demon

When we are gathered in the hall
They tell a wintertale
Of a time that is gone
They are singing their song

From a distance, some faint light
Coming closer, like ghosts in the night
It's a courier, and what he brings
From the darkness, are bad tidings
The evil demon, back from the dead
Darker than ever, again he spreads
Gaining force to, retaliate
Was our fight, to no avail

When we are gathered in the hall
They tell a wintertale
Of a time that is gone
They are singing their song

Hope is weakened, (our) pride is gone
It's all in vain, and nothing?s won
Fear is rising, the tide has turned
The golden future, is all burned
Feeling bitter, and crestfallen
My way home now, is stolen
Without mercy, and all our might
No surrender, we?ll take the fight

When we are gathered in the hall
They tell a wintertale
We will fight till it's won
Till the last man is gone

After the smoke has left
And the fire has burned down
He leaves his hideaway
And through ashes he goes
There are just ruins left
What once was his realm
He falls on his knees
And raises his hands up high

I will remember the fire
Day of the dragon's feast
I will remember the fire
I seek to kill the beast

His burden he will bear
Oh dragon, beware of him
He will hunt you down
And for the search he leaves
For his hordes you've killed
He demands you to pay
And for the blood you've spilled
He'll strike your life away

I will remember the fire
Day of the dragons feast
I will remember the fire
I seek to kill the beast

Walking a thousand miles
Through forests, fens and thorns
Hate is gnawing at his soul
As he inquires on
How far he has to go
Will his search never end?
Until his last breath's done
He's searching on and on

I will remember the fire
Day of the dragons feast
I will remember the fire
I seek to kill the beast

I've planned a deal with unknown mights
And hope to win no compromise
The mighty beast in front of me
That can fulfill my dreams
But I defraud the guarding beast
The keeper of this mystic tale
It banished me into my dreams
Now I've to suffer in hell

I've seen a thousands worlds before
But this one is the strangest
In front of me a gleaming stone
That once was filled with magic
In it's inscription stands
That I'll have just one chance
When the demon is gone
I can return

Now, when the demon is gone
I can return back to reality
I have just one chance to leave this legend
From now and from nevermore

My time here is running out
The beholder's getting weaker
Behind his throne the open gate
That leads to my salvation

But suddenly the demon opens his eyes
And a dreadful flash is blowing me away
My whole body is surrounded by fire
And something is dragging me deeper into this dream

Now, when the demon is gone
I can return back to reality
I have just one chance to leave this legend
From now and from nevermore

They raise their glasses, as he surveys unseen
Wrath is increasing, anger makes his eyes gleam
Seeing his foes, celebrating their victory
He gives a promise, that he will destroy his enemy
Godforsaken fools..... I will return

Raise, raise, my dark fiends of light
Up from your graves, into the night
Raise, raise, my dark fiends of light
Up from your graves, into the night

As he stands nearby, he speaks the incantation
Tearing the dead, back from their damnation
Ground starts to quake, as they return from their graves
Thousands of corpses, rushing ahead like waves
Godforsaken fools..... I will return

Raise, raise, my dark fiends of light
Up from your graves, into the night
Raise, raise, my dark fiends of light
Up from your graves, into the night

Follow him blind, they have heard his call
Incessantly marching, heading for the fall
Clattering blades, made to strike and kill
Thirsting for blood, their task they will fulfill

Raise, raise, the dark fiends of light
Up from your graves, into the night
Raise, raise, the dark fiends of light
Up from your graves, into the night

The dragon flies, on his mighty wings
Towards the walls, of the dark fortress
Bursting out in rage, cleansing fire rains
When the towers fall, nothing will remain

We will meet, eye to eye
He will pay, eye for an eye
I'll enjoy, his last cry
We will meet, eye to eye

So bittersweet, the taste of revenge
Legions of hate, decamp in fear
No chance to flee, he hounds them to death
Where is the one, he?s seeking for

We will meet, eye to eye
He will pay, eye for an eye
I'll enjoy, his last cry
We will meet, eye to eye

Close to the end, nearly all slain
Still haven't found, the king of the dark
Is he alive, or already gone
All lies in debris, he must be dead

Where is he?, eye to eye
No revenge?, eye for an eye
Have I heard?, his last cry
Where is he?, has he died

I'm on my way to look out for someone
I promise treasures and wonders to be done
To those who will follow me on my way
To kill the demon, to demand him to pay

On my way I will go - crusade of the damned
To return I will kill - crusade of the damned
On my crusade to break the demon's spell
Who will follow me to hell

No-one will follow but I have to go
They fear the demon and his deadly blow
I leave alone and I feel like I'm damned
To fight on my own, to make my last stand

On my way I will go - crusade of the damned
To return I will kill - crusade of the damned
On my crusade to break the demon's spell
Who will follow me to hell

Against the walls of the dark fortress I ride
Storming the gates of damnation
Against the walls of the dark fortress I ride
At last I am banished in time

On my way I will go
To return I will kill
On my crusade to break the demon's spell
Who will follow me to hell

At the dawn of day, two armies arise
In the morning fog, from shades of the night
Out there on the hills, they darken the sun
The last stand is here, one chance to be won

Into this raging war, out of the sun
The dragon strikes down, killing the one
Into this raging war, out of the sun
The dragon strikes down, killing the one
Burst his chest and burn his heart to ashes
At last he pays for his reign with agony
The spell breaks and the undead fall again
At the end of the day, forever victory

The undead knights, storming against the lines
The darkest hour strikes the clock of life
Thousands of men were killed, by the walking dead
At the battles end, the earth turns red

Into this raging war, out of the sun
The dragon strikes down, killing the one
Into this raging war, out of the sun
The dragon strikes down, killing the one
Burst his chest and burn his heart to ashes
At last he pays for his reign with agony
The spell breaks and the undead fall again
At the end of the day, forever victory

Into this raging war, out of the sun
The dragon strikes down, killing the one
Into this raging war, out of the sun
The dragon strikes down, killing the one
Burst his chest and burn his heart to ashes
At last he pays for his reign with agony
The spell breaks and the undead fall again
At the end of the day, forever victory

The demon has risen again
Calling his forces to arms
In these hours of fear
We come together as well

Oooh..... together we rise

We shall unite, to overcome his domain
The dark demons force, to end his reign
We shall unite, to overcome his domain
If you join us, we will be strong again

With armor and sword at our side
We'll (hold out) against obscurity
Chasing back the clouds at the sky
We will bring back the light

Oooh..... together we rise

We shall unite, to overcome his domain
The dark demons force, to end his reign
We shall unite, to overcome his domain
If you join us, we will be strong again

Sharpen your axes and swords
And be prepared for the fight
Let's bring back freedom for all
Destroy the demon for all time

Oooh..... together we rise

We shall unite, to overcome his domain
The dark demons force, to end his reign
We shall unite, to overcome his domain
If you join us, we will be strong again
