Blind Guardian

Now the time has come for me to leave this land
Take my charge with pride sacrifice
Running and hiding I'm left for the time
To bring back the order of devine
Hunted by goblins no Gandalf to help
With swords in the night
Oh the last part of the game
Decision of death and life
Blood for Sauron they'll call tonight
The final battle cry
Running and hiding I'm left for the time
To bring back the order of devine
There exist no tales and hobbits are crying for all
Children of death
I have a dream the things you've to hide for
Deliver our kingdom and our reich
Don't fall in panic just give me the thing
That I need or I kill
Don't run away for what have I done

Ref.:
Oh majesty your kingdom is lost
And you'll leave us behind
Oh majesty your kingdom is lost
And ruins remind of your time
Now come back

(Solo)

Ref.
Run, run, run

Cries Cries in a dark land
Hear the voice it's cold as ice
Eyes they are watching
They look for me but cannot find
Creature is following no place to escape
My last steps will find the right way
Where's the future the call of the blind
Cause there is none to find
Watch the sky you see no light
My weapons burst with fear
With the howling wolves the nazgul will die
For all Children of death
Cries Cries in a dark land
Hear the voice it's cold as ice
Eyes they are watching
They look for me but cannot find
Run Run for the whole world
It's time you cannot wait
Lost Lost in a dark world
You feel the strange but cannot see
Too many battles we carry along from the war
And too many frightens we feel from his law
For so many victories we're praising so strong
For so many blood we've lost

Ref.
Run, run

Extermination thunder the strange one is back again
Lost by our only power it's aura will grind us out forever
Fall into a dark dream that we got once
the part it's real you won't believe

We're watching our own agony many years ago
Seven little children stand against the ghost
Believing is the answer but you've lost before
Find back to your infancy it's time to die

I've been the herdsman you've been my sheep
I find taste on lampskin everything's allright
killing for the thirst for small children sweat
I give them illusions to raise their fear

Hear the crying dying child it's music to my ears
Feel the sweetness of it's death everything's allright
But there's a new feeling I've never known
There must be a third one a mighty guardian
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Now it feel the curse of heaven
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Now it feel the curse of the child

Dark is it's world. and lonely we're reaching it again
Fear our returning visions to madness we'll fall
if we can't kill the beast forever we must die now
One has blown his life away

Once we were a circle fighting hand in hand
Our weapons were illusions to let it feel the pain
By the sweet taste of our live it call us back again
We'll find the answer it's time to die

By a ritual we've hurt it but we've not kill
little Billy you must find your way
Believe in you we ask for but where
we can never find
there must be a sign for the
Guardian of the Blind
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Now it feel the curse of heaven
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Now it feel the curse
Come to it's world following the sign
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
Give us the help we're waiting for your sign
Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind

Years ago I came back
this has been my hardest attack
A burning fire's in my brain
I could feel the deadly flame

Tales of the magic in my head
to a dark dream I fall in my mind
I hold the key of fortune
To feel the strange thing's in my mind
the stone of Ambar I must find
I'll take the chance that day
Halloween - The wizards crown I'll take on
Halloween
Halloween - But there is no return on Halloween

I'm the servant of the Blind to cross the
realms of death
the gate is open wide you cannot close
His dungeons deep no place to hide
The times have changed he has to fight
In magic spell I fall
Illusions falling in my mind
But where's the key I cannot find
the ritual has begun
Halloween - The wizards crown I'll take on
Halloween
Halloween - But there is no return on Halloween

The battle has begun
the warlocks time has come
I pay the price I've to pay
Why haven't see the signs
I'm loosing now my life
but cannot die forever life
Halloween - The wizards crown I'll take on
Halloween
Halloween - But there is no return on Halloween
Halloween - The wizards crown I'll take on

There comes the last part
and end of our old age with thunder
and lightning the dark lord is taking
the crown of the whole world
his creature will kill me and poisons my soul
to the end I'll fight but I know that the things
that I do are so meanless - Oh no
I see the hill but it's so far away
I know I can't reach it
but I try it again and again in my dark dreams
he's waysting my last will
how long can I stay here
when the mightiest of all will now
Run for the Night burn away
the times of his fall I've to pay

Visions of darkness prepared for the last strike
and blooddlust their weapons and madness
you see their eyes there's no way out
I'm lost in a dark dream and losing control
to the end I'll fight but I know that the things
that I do are so meanless - Oh no
I see the hill but it's so far away
I know I can't reach it but try it again and again
in my dark dreams he's waysting my last will
how long can I stey here
where the mightiest of all will now
Run for the Night burn away
the times of his fall I've to pay

You see them running in the shadows of the night
It is not what it used to be
they've been scared
and they've been anxiously tonight
you say them running with the wind
oh run for the night, run for the night

Run for the Night burn away
the times of his fall I've to pay
Run for the Night burn away
the times of his fall I've to pay

He was born in the past time
To take all our pain
The kingdom of heaven's near
The children of this time
Must die for his arrive
To let all the legends be true
The prophecy said they'll call king of the jews
He is born now to take all our sins
Three kings were searching for this holy child
The journey begins, he has to die

Healing the cripples and taking our pain
He came for the sinner
But what we've said
Disciples are following
They are calling his words
Salt of the earth and light of the world
Martyr we are following you
Bless us for eternity
Messiah we are torturing you
When you lose the power of your words
Jump from the temple and angle will save
Show me that you are the son of our God
Now take my land with my power you get
Rulin' the world of tomorrow

Messiah liar our burning desire
He is the king without a crown
We'll set him to his throne
Give me 30 p of silver and I'll be your man
Higher liar the fallen Messiah
Let us see his agony
The things he done are blasphemy
Mob has lost their joy on toy
So let us kill him fast
Now drink my blood for the new testament
This is my body you eat
One of you twelve is the one who betrays
Better that he's never born
Judas you're the chosen one
The world has damned your name

Begin with a kiss at a cross it will end
The kingdom of heaven we've passed
The sky will turn black and the curtain will fall
The father's crying for his son
The tortured Messiah is finding his way
The journey has come to the end
The twelve ones are preaching the words he'd left
They're changing the way of the world but die for

Martyr we are following you
Bless us for eternity
Messiah we are torturing you
When you lose the power of your words
Martyr we are following you
Bless us for eternity

Can't believe the things I see That happens in the state
By a mortal distance that I can't believe
Self destructive infernal To save us from the breed
But I know that it is all a lie

Star wars begin now His bombs come exploding
To bring back the death of the night
No mercy he's knowing How strong he must show us
For the last film you all get a part Be by my side
Or you have to die Believe what I do is the right

Soon Armageddon Last hours are running now
The final solution begins The words of a madman
No children to tell them For what they will not see the light
Choose by your voice He kills and destroys
At the end you must die for the night

In earlier chess games we're playing the part of a soldier
But now we are not qualified to save our own life
The traps are all placed by command they are ready to strike,
yeah
We live and we will die by the lies, a lies to believe

Try to escape from this suicide dreams
Or past time will come back again
Hiroshima is a joke to that what will come
At the end of the game we all die Die now
Battalions of fear
They search and they scream for the American dreams
Battalions of fear The way of R.R. to show he is the star
Battalions

Star wars begin now His bombs come exploding
To bring back the death of the night
No mercy he's knowing How strong he must show us
For the last film you all get a part Be by my side
Or you have to die Believe what I do is the right

With hands full of blood He talks about peace
With snake poisoning tongue He's praying
El Salvador and Vietnam You soon fast forget
But you satisfy on Afghanistan You've been the master
You kill with a laughter
Your screams of peace are wrong and loud
Cause so we are and here we are
We scream and shout ! Your laughing about all the fools
Scream and shout ! With power of evil they stand

Try to escape from this suicide dreams
Or past time will come back again
Hiroshima is a joke to that what will come
At the end of the game we all die Die now
Battalions of fear
They search and they scream for the American dreams
Battalions of fear
The way of R.R. to show he is the star
Battalions of fear
The way of R.R. to show he is the star
Battalions Battalions

Where are these silent faces
I took them all
they all went away
now you're alone
to turn out every light so deep in me
hold on, to late

Will I ever see them back again
or did they all die by my hand
or where they killed
by the old evil ghost
who had taken
the ocean
of all my dreams
which were worth to keep
deep inside my heart
I wish I
could get them back
from the everflow
before they'll fade away
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
out of the dark
back to the light
then I'll break down
the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

Where's the ocean's daughter
was Peter Pan in Mordor
no one's there to keep alive
all these fairy tales
may I return to Oz
will I meet the Tin Man
Coward Lion where are you
without brain the scarecrow's lost
in the middle of the lake
stranded in the real world
left in a world
no place for daydreams
serious life
I fall into
I fall into a dark hole
and I can't come out
do you know if Merlin did exist
or Frodo wore the ring
did Corum kill the gods
or where's the wonderland
which young Alice had seen
or was it just a dream
I knew the answers
now they're lost for me
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
out of the dark
back to the light
then I'll break down
the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

I hope there is a way back
with my talisman
so I look into myself
to the days when I was just a child
come follow me to wonderland
and see the tale that never ends
don't fear the lion nor the witch
I can't come back
I'm lost but still I know
there is another world
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
Imaginations from the other side
far out of nowhere
it got back to my mind
out of the dark
back to the light
then I'll break down
the walls around my heart
Imaginations from the other side

I run through the dark fields
of the plains
reach level 99
the pain cuts deep down
through my vain
how will I break the ice
welcome to my reality
dream forever
sunlight instead of neon light
how will it be
welcome to my grave
and feel the dream is over
nothing can stop me
I reach out for the top
Caught in an old cage
the system failed
built up on lies
now I see that I'm alone
in asylum's cage
I'm left alone
I'm alive my friend
I can feel the shadows everywhere
I'm alive
I left the shadows
far behind me
another one is waiting in the dark

They say the system keeps
the last chance to survive
caught in this labyrinth
of walls and lots of lies
then I began to understand
there's more above than ice
to reach the top
I crept deep down
the answers given in the past
a sensless worth
in useless brains
magic runes
without a meaning
besides the dark
there should be nothing left
Caught in an old cage
the system failed
built up on lies
now I see that I'm alone
in asylum's cage
I'm left alone
I'm alive my friend
I can feel the shadows everywhere
I'm alive
I left the shadows
far behind me
another one is waiting in the dark

Outside they say death is waiting
but it creeps down through the shaft
finds pleasure in our helpless fear
fills empty rooms
with morbid thought
they've locked the door
and hold the key
sitting beside you
when silent screams
changing my mind and dreams
oh, it's never ending
Caught in an old cage
the system failed
built up on lies
now I see that I'm alone
in asylum's cage
I'm left alone
I'm alive my friend
I can feel the shadows everywhere
I'm alive
I left the shadows
far behind me
another one is waiting in the dark
I'M ALIVE!!!

Oh, I haven't been here for a while
in blindness and decay the circle's been closed,
now My song of the end ~
I've seen it all

Listen crowd I'll tell you everything
though I have to say I don't know much
talking about a past and future secret
most called him once and future king
far back in the past I saw his ending
long before it started I knew his name
he's the one who took the sword out of the stone
it's how that ancient tale began
I hear it in the cold winds
My song of the end My song of the end My song of the end
I had seen it in my dreams
my song of the end
I can't stop the darkening clouds

I feel cold
when I cry out for the bark take him back to
Avalon dwell on for a new age
so long sleep well my friend
take him back to Avalon
I will wait and guard
the future king's crown
My song of the end My song of the end~~
it was nice but now it's gone
my song of the end
it was fixed the whole time
my song of the end
I saw it all

Hallowed be the fatherland
god he knows, how long I'd been away
from here I did start for a search
so full of decease I still hear my cryouts
from the old cellar's inside
Born in the days of medieval
my inner voice is always asking why
I came from nowhere
without a task, without a name
don't no fear of evil
fate, so god please lead me through
forgotten realms, mysterious dreams
in sunless rooms I'd sworn
I'll finish what I started, once
I'll find my holy grail in the holy land
Returning of the miracles, it's my own requiem
the jester's tears they are inside me
agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles it's my own requiem
is the script already written
jester's tears I cry yes, I cry

I went out of my mind in desert lands
insanity's pawn out of control
much too long I've been isolated
from my thoughts
enclosed by the leader's spell
bewildered to marc as a glory knight
and I tried
Still I hear the scream of thousands:
Crucify, crucify Take it all
our gold, our home, our life,
but we didn't kill your Christ!!
Reach out for your holy grail
enslave us and make us your god's sacrifice!!
Returning of the miracles it's my own requiem
the jester's tears they are inside me
agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles it's my own requiem
is the script already written
jester's tears I cry. yes i cry

Still I'm confused if I was dreaming
too late I realized I'd been another fool
I pay the price
Returning of the miracles it's my own requiem
the jester's tears they are inside me
agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles
it's my own requiem
is the script already written
jester's tears I cry

I've lost my battle before it starts
my first breath wasn't done
my spirit's sunken deep into the ground
why am I alone I can hear my heartbeat
silence's all around

See hate will rise
so don't come closer fear your child
born with a king's heart
but fate fooled me and changed my cards
noone asked if I want it if I like it
Pain inside is rising
I am the fallen one
a figure in an old game
no Joker's on my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light
and murder the dawn

Nothing else, but laughter is around me
forevermore noone can heal me
nothing can save me noone can heal me
I've gone beyond the truth it's just another lie
wash away the blood on my hands
my father's blood in agony we're unified
I never wanted to be what they told me to be
fulfill my fate then I'll be free
god knows how long I tried to change fate

Pain inside is rising
I am the fallen one
a figure in an old game
no Joker's on my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light and murder the dawn

I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light and murder the dawn

In fact it was close to a real fallout
everything's under control
the speaker said with a serious smile
behind his mask
he knew the truth
I'll bring a new age of better ways
the TV preacher said
just pay today
pay today
World's dressed in black
on earth's judgement day
and I?
I know it can't go on
forbidden signs increase
I'm sitting still at home
and watching
Born in a mourning hall
pale clouds feared the unborn child
then it grew up with growing plans
of suicide
born in a mourning hall
shadows left the fear inside
that Peter Pan will never reach
the other side
It's frightening
exciting to sit at home
and watch the burning fields
get
hypnotized by the TV snake
Obey and work hard
and feel no anger
just sympathy for the higher class
there's no chance in changing things
cause I am
born in a mourning hall
silent cries ran out
when the cradle breaks
broken dreams were unheared on
the other side
born in a mourning hall
shadows left the fear
in the new born child
that Peter Pan will never reach
the other side
And I'm a part of the machine
a puppet on the strings
a rebel, once
now I'm an old man
Oh, I know this can't go on
but the ghost called fear inside
lames my tongue, my nerves, my mind
eternal fall down
someone cut the strings off
I can't move
to get back courage
I've to face the truth
but not today
goodbye
Born in a mourning hall
caught inside a web called life
the only way to get out soon
is suicide
born in a mourning hall
pale souls built a frozen world
infected brains
will never reach the other side
the other side

Fool just another
I've been waiting
for signs of god
create- enslaved- behaved-
everything is out of control
Leave me alone
isolation bears hope
there's something else waiting
a promised destiny
freezing me
I feel restless and low
these days full of sadness
had joyfully changed
into fear
My freakshow will start tonight
don't miss the right time
Ref.:
Bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
no Merlin is by my side
everything is out of control
everything is out of control
in my future plans
everything is out of control
noone's left to hurt
everything is out of control
sorrow's gone away
Broken memories
walking upstairs
step by step
I see the whole world burning
the poet dies in Neverland
how it burns
Hey, mother stubborn
I really hate you
if you say yes I will say no
ashes to ashes
but dust won't be dust
if you go there
I will go back
Ref.:
Bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
betrayed by sunrise
bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
no Merlin is by my side
Hey, father stubborn
you're ying
and I'm young
I feel alone
who really cares
Born into ashes
to lose all the games
with a smiling face
Ref.:
Bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
and dark dragons rise
bright eyes
blinded by fear of life
no Merlin is by my side
So I sit still in my room, today
winter's here
in summer's season
shall I say
I was wrong
if I'm right
farewell to my last hope

I am god
the only one
I will bring back
freedom to your heart
you won't believe
that blind can see
noone else before me ever knew
the way to paradise
for another bloody crime
I shall return
I am your light on through the night
Why am I born
will I fail to rise again
another crucifixion for
another holy war
can't stop what's going on
Sooner or later you must understand
my words bring freedom
and rescue for man
what else,
to call me your Messiah
oh, I wish there could be another way
cross and nails are already prepared
my sell out
waits till I'm crucified
I will die before my vision ends
Why am I born
will I fail to rise again
another crucifixion for
another holy war
can't stop what's going on
Wait for the dawn
to take me away
what will be if I fail
another golden calve
never, never ending
pain and agony
hit me, nail me make me god
Why am I born
will I fail to rise again
another crucifixion for
another holy war
can't stop what's going on

And the story ends
insanity said coldly
still waiting for the chance
so out of nowhere it will rise
oh, and another journey starts
by the call of the moon
was it really me
I saw in the mirror screaming
I swallowed hate and lies
through a thousand cries
someone's sucking out my energy
What can I do
on this road to nowhere
Heart of dragon lies
at the edge of time
And the story ends
insanity said coldy
still waiting for the chance
so out of nowhere it will rise
oh, and another journey starts
into insanity's claws

Come with me and join me
a new life's waiting for you
jump through the mirror
leave fear behind
no matter where I tried
the candle light seemed
lost forever
before my vision ends
-cathedral
-falling tears

We're not alone
there's someone else, too
from the mirror's other side
reflecting the cruel part of your soul
it's time for your choice
Bridge
And the story ends
insanity said coldy
still waiting for the chance
so out of nowhere it will rise
oh, and another journey starts
by the call of the moon

Heart of dragon lies
Bridge
And the story ends
insanity said coldy
still waiting for the chance
so out of nowhere it will rise
oh, and another journey starts
by the call of the moon
I'm not a king
I'm just a bard
how can I trust
if there's good and bad
the wounds of life
they will remain
at least I found a friend
