Lyrics[]
Day after day as the earth turns gray
And the sun becomes dark in the sky,
All hope is lost for the human race
And the dawn of a new age will rise
Rays of sunlight now are gone
Only the rivers of ice will remain
Fallen ones and forgotten souls
Will rise up over the slain
No more hope! As we raise our hands to the sky,
No more dreams...as the rivers run dry...
Everything's lost, all is left astray,
Only sorrow and sadness remains!
The curtains have dropped on our fallen world,
And the forces of darkness shall rise!
Why can't you see what has happened to thee?
Can you not open your eyes?
Earth is lost, there is no retreat!
And the valleys echo with pain,
No more hope! As we hold our hands to the sky,
No more dreams...as the rivers run dry...
On the endless sea of madness, we sail forever more!
And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores!
When the flame has died forever, we stand one and all!
With the power of the almighty lord!
We will raise our swords high
On the black winter night
Sing the power and glory for all
We will never surrnder
We stand strong and fight
For the king and the crown, we'll not fall!
No more tomorrow
Dying of sorrown
Over the mountains and up through the trees
Traveling across seven seas
No more hope
As we hold our hands to the sky
No more dreams...while the ruvers run dry...
On the endless seas of madness, we sail forevermore
And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores!
When the flame has died forever, we'll stand one and all
For the power of the almighty lord!
We will raise our swords high
On the black winter night
Sing the power and glory for all
We will never surrender
We stand strong and fight
for the king and the crown, we'll not fall!
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
On the endless seas of madness, we sail forevermore!
And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores!
When the flame has died forever, we stand one and all
For the power of the almighty lord!
We will raise our swords high
On the black winter night
Sing the power and glory for all
We will never surrender
We stand strong and fight
For the king and the crown, we'll not fall!
