lyrics

(Lyrics by Bogdan Vera)

[Will Shaw]
Through my eyes there's a spirit looking out
So alone, so ancient and dark.
Just a ghost with a long forgotten name
We are bound to be forever as one.

There's a silver shard in the place of my heart
And the pain that it brings will last forever
I am lost in this land, and my doom is at hand.
For the shadow is growing within me.

There's a darkness that falls upon this land
There's a mask that has shadowed my face
I'm alone so far from home
And the day is fading so fast.

How can I fight this chill in my heart
In this legend what will be my part?
All hope is fading from the world.
There's no song I can play that will turn back the day.

There's a silver shard in the place of my heart
And the pain that it brings will last forever
I am lost in this land, and my doom is at hand.
For the stars are crossed and the story's at an end,

Though the battle has only begun.

[Jenny Green]
Now you stand at the gate where whispers
Beg you to turn away from here.
Blade in hand and fiery eyes
You dare to cross the step into this realm.

Nameless fear without a place,
I gave you my love in a time long ago.
Time was short and fate was cruel
I shattered your soul, left the darkness to grow.

[Will Shaw]

I have come to set you free
Tear off the vines that have kept you from me.
There's no god that will stand in my way
Unleashing the flames, and the wrath inside.

[harmonized]
Before the gates, we are ready for a war.

[Will Shaw]
Rising from the ash the dragon soars
[Jenny Green]
Spirits call from the ancient walls.
[Both]
We'll be one when the great damnation wall is broken down.

[Will Shaw]
Pressing on,
Breaking through,

One final stand
One final death.

[Jenny Green]
Standing there beside you such unlikely ghosts from far away.
[Will]
I hear your call from the ancient walls.
[Both]
We'll be one when the great damnation wall is broken down.

Broken down.

[Will Shaw]
Pressing on,
Breaking through,

[Jenny Green]

One final stand
One final death.

One final stand.
One final death.
We fly away.

There's a silver shard in the place of my heart
And the pain that it brings will last forever
I am lost in this land, and my doom is at hand.
For the stars are crossed and the story's at an end,

But the battle is finally done.
