on a cold winter morning, in the time before the light

in flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight

and the darkness is falling down and the times are tough all right

the sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight

fighting high, fighting on for the steel

through the wastelands evermore

the scattered souls will feel the hell that is wasted on the shores

on the blackest waves in history

we watch them as they go

through fire, pain and once again we know

so now we fly ever free

we're free before the thunderstorm

on towards the wilderness our quest carries on

far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight

deep inside our hearts and all our souls

so far away we wait for the day

for the lights are so wasted and gone

we feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days

through the fire and the flames we carry on

as the red day is dawning

and the lightning cracks the sky

they raise their hands to the heavens above

as we send them to their lies

running back through the mid-morning light

there's a burning in my heart

we're banished from the time in the fallen land

to a light beyond the stars

in the blackest dreams we do believe

our destiny this time

and endlessly we'll all be free tonight

and on the wings of a dream

so far beyond reality

all alone in desperation

now the time is gone

lost inside you'll never find

lost within my own mind

day after day this misery must go on

so far away we wait for the day

for the lights are so wasted and gone

we feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days

through the fire and the flames we carry on

now here we stand with their blood on our hands

we've fought so hard now can we understand?

i'll break the seal of this curse if i possibly can

for freedom of every man

so far away we wait for the day

for the lights are so wasted and gone

we feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days

through the fire and the flames w
