Blind Guardian

War Of Wrath
Sauron
The field is lost, everything is lost
The black one has fallen from the sky
And the towers in ruins lie
The enemy is within everywhere
And with him the light, soon they will be here
Go now, my Lord while there is time
There are places below

Morgoth
And you know them too
I release thee, go
My servant you'll be for all time

Sauron
As you command my King

Morgoth
I had a part in everything
Twice I destroyed the light and twice I failed
I left ruin behind me when I returned
But I also carried ruin with me
She the mistress of her own lust

Into The Storm
Give it to me I must have it
Precious treasure I deserve it

Where can I run? How can I hide?
The Silmarils gems of tree light
Their life belongs to me
Oh, it's sweet how the darkness is floating around

We are following the Will of the One
Through the dark age and into the storm

Lord I'm mean blackheart show me
What you hold in your hand
I still hunger for more
Release me from my pain
Give it to me how I need it

I did my part mow it's your turn
And remember what you've promised

Welcome To Dying
Close to insanity beyond the realms
I've been at darkest places
I'm crying: The dragon flies

Something savage is yearning for me
I'm waiting afraid for the night what will be
I've lost myself a few days ago
It's touching my soul
And a vision of past dreams comes true

Welcome to dying
I don't let it out
Welcome to dying
Look to the mirror it shows what I am

Welcome to dying
This town must burn now
Welcome to dying
Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me

The one who's been before
Many times I terrorized this town
Many times and here I start again
Now I'm stronger and so cold as ice
Returning is my destiny

Now I feel it's growing up in me
Now I feel it's burning deep in me

I'm not what I was before
Could I stop this dream
I'm a stranger to myself
And I cannot control

Welcome to dying
I don't let it out
Welcome to dying
Look to the mirror it shows what I am

Welcome to dying
Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me
Welcome to dying
The dragon's breath I don't let it out

I'm a savage it's too late for me
The other side's taking control and I know
There's one way I can walk alone
Or the dragon will fly
And a growing fear's all that I feel

I spread my wings and fly away

Nightfall
No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
All hope's lost it can't be undone
They're wasted and gone

Save me your speeches
I know they blinded us all
What you want
You will take it away from me
Take it and I know for sure
The light she once brought in
Is gone forevermore

Like sorrowful seagulls they sang
We're lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
A wailing when beauty was gone

Come take a look at the sky
Monstrous it covered the shore
Fearful into the unknown
Quietly it crept in new horror insanity
Reigned and spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain

Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

How long shall we mourn in the dark
The bliss and the beauty will not return
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard the road may be
But even in silence I heard the words:
An oath we shall swear by the name of the One
Until the world's end it can't be broken

Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside
The doom of the Noldor drew near

The words of a banished king: I swear revenge
Filled with anger a flamed our hearts
Full of hate full of pride
We screamed for revenge

Vala! He is that's what you said
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
But freely you came and you freely shall depart
So never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends

Oh, I'm heir of the high Lord!
You better don't trust him
The enemy of mine isn't he of your kind
And finally you may follow me
Farewell he said
Back to where it all began

The Script For My Requiem
Hallowed be the fatherland
God he knows
How long I'd been away
From here I did start for the search
So full of disease
I still hear my cry out
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
No fear of evil fate
So God please lead me
Through forgotten realms
Mysterious dreams
In sunless rooms I'd sworn
I'll finish that 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 march
As a glory knight and I tried

Still I hear the scream of thousands:
Crucify! Crucify! Take it all
Our gold, our homes, our life
But we didn't kill your Christ!
Reach out for your Holy Grail
Enslave us and make us
Your God's sacrifice!

Still I'm confused
If I was dreaming
Too late I realized
I'd been another fool
I pay the price

Harvest Of Sorrow
She is gone leaves are falling down
The tear maiden will not return
The seal of oblivion is broken
And a pure love's been turned into sin

At the dawn of our living time
Hope may cover all cries
Truth lurks hidden in the shadows
Dreams might be filled with lies
Soon there will be night
Pain remains inside

Suddenly it seemed so clear
All the blindness was taken away
She closed her eyes and she called out my name
She was never ever never ever seen again

Harvest of sorrow your seed is grown
In a frozen world full of cries
When the ray of light shrinks
Shall cold winter nights begin

She is gone and I fall from grace
No healing charm covers my wounds
Fooled's the dawn and so I am
Fooled by life and a bitter doom
To bring you the end of the day

At the dawn of our living time
Hope it soon will pass by
Facing a darkness I stand alone

The Soulforged
I'm not insane that's how it seems though
Spiteful, cruel but wise beyond his age

My body fails, my soul will rise
The end of life's immortalized
Disease and agony
And I see death through golden eyes
Beyond the door there's something more
It seems there's just one way

On through the heat I've felt the touch of evil
I still feel the icy claw in me
For a descent price I've banned kindness from my heart
The spirit of all truth and beauty pawned for my desire

And from the flames
As chance would have it
The Soulforged will come into light
And from the flames
As chance would have it
The Soulforged, the stainless will rise

I will never change my mind
I will leave it all behind

And through the hour glass
Everything's grey, everyone's pale
Nor colour nor beauty will enlighten my heart
The seat of life's empty and cold

Cadaverous you all seem to me
Stillborn but you're still alive
You're still alive

Truth lies in loneliness
When hope is long gone by
I'll wipe out the bliss of the new age
And welcome you precious night

From a distant time voices echo in the hall
Come and join us, enter life
And everything is gone now

And through the looking glass
I still fear mortality
And it's loss in the end
Unlimited power in my hands
Mourn for his lost soul
He's cursed and condemned
The claw of the dragon ascends

Each step I take mMay it hurt may It ache
Leads me further away from the past
But as long as I breathe and each smile on my bleak face
I'm on my way to find back to the Peace of mind

Valhalla
High in the sky where eagles fly
Morgray the dark enters the throne

Open wide the gate friend the king has come
Blow the horn and praise the highest Lord
Who'll bring the dawn
He's a new god in the palace of steel
Persuade the fate of everyone
The chaos can begin let it in

So many centuries, so many gods
We were the prisoners of our own fantasy
But now we are marching against these gods
I'm the wizard, I'll change it all

Valhalla - deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me

Magic is in me I'm the last magic man
Never found what I was looking for
Now I found it but it's lost

The fortress burns broken my heart
I leave this world all gods are gone

So many centuries, so many times
We were the prisoners of our own fantasy
But then we had nothing to lead our lives
No we didn't play with our time

Majesty
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 Divine
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 Divine
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

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 run

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

Run for the whole world
It's time you cannot wait
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

Mordred's Song
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
No one asked if I want it
If I liked 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

Nothing else but laughter
Is around me forevermore
No one can heal me
Nothing can save me
No one can heal me

I've gone beyond the truth
It's just another lie
Wash away the blood from 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 than I'll be free
God knows how long
I tried to change fate

Born In A Mourning Hall
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 New Age of better ways
The T.V. preacher said:
Just pay today

World's dressed in black
On earth's Judgments 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 of feared the unborn child
Then it grew up with growing plans of suicide
Born in a mourning hall
Shadows left the fear inside
The 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 T.V. 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 unheard on
The other side
Born in a mourning hall
Shadows left the fear in the new born child
The Peter Pan will never reach
The other side

And I'm a part of a machine
A puppet on the strings
A rebel once now I'm an old man

Oh, I know it 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 I suicide
Born in a mourning hall
Pale souls built a frozen world
Infected brains
Will never reach the other side

Under The Ice
Run till you find the answer
Time out for our poor Cassandra
She's fairly safe inside the fire

Inside the fire
Awakes desire
Cruelly admired
They'll torture her soul
And they'll torment her heart
But won't change her mind

Would you like to see me
How I'll cut off
Her head life's a game
A lesson to learn

Don't be shy just blame me
Well, there is no
Need to feel ashamed
Remember the oath

Wake up it's time to cross the border
Is it true what they say
About the part you've played?
Enjoy your stay here

Welcome to the slaughterhouse
Release from rotten thoughts
No more pain and no more gods
Under the ice you will believe
Under the ice you will be free
Released from rotten thoughts
No more pain and no more gods

Please understand
It's not in our hands
Barren the land
It's all dead and gone

And still the tyrant's face is red
So witness my glory, my triumph, my fame
It's the sweetest taste

King of terror just stop wining
Hold your breath it won't take long
Realize this is your judgement day
In between the killing carry on
There are no rules here

Try to understand
You're the artificial enemy
An illusion we all need for our sake

We're not allowed to see beyond that's your skill
Will we ever learn the lesson
We can't fly with broken wings
Break the chains, time to change
I'm afraid to say but you won't play a part

It's been nice we now get to the climax
Your destination's unknown
Just get out of my way

Bright Eyes
Fool just another
I've been waiting
For signs of God
Create - enslave - 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
How joyfully changed into fear
My freak show will start tonight
Don't miss the right time

Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
No Merlin is by my side

Everything is out of control
In my future plans
Everything is out of control
No one'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 Newerland
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

Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
Betrayed by sunrise

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

Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
And the dark dragons rise

So I sit still in my room today
Winter's here in summer season
Shall I say, I was wrong
If I'm right farewell to my last hope

Punishment Divine
It's warm and tender but very soon it will turn cold
Shadows stare down from the walls
Out of the mist it's coming closer now
It never rains - it pours on me
So let the saints
Set up the courtyard, the unpleasant cage
The obvious point is I'm insane

Was I aware whom I has slain I fear I was:
The faceless, the nameless
The bush set on fire
No one ever dared to speak
Shame on me, I don't believe
The here and now Is all we're living for

Joyful it seems but then suddenly
By one false move it's blown away
Joyful it seems but then suddenly
Their voices cease it's gone away
Vanished to the point of no return

Witness my last breath
I do not regret
A word I've said
The strong will survive
The weak must die

And out of the mist
It's coming closer now
Sinner and saints
The grateful slaves

Nature's law instead
Of God in heaven
From far beyond
I can hear them sing
I hear angels sing
Songs of innocence
I hear the angel sing

Despite the facts are clear
It cannot be what we can't see
I must admit it sounds so sweet
Angels sing
Can hear them sing
I hear angels sing

Far beyond I hear them sing
It's true, we don't exist
From far beyond I hear them sing
It's true, we don't exist

Well we all know there's no other side
It's good and evil
I know right between, there's no borderline
This is the punishment divine

Surrounded by night I've been offered insight
There is none but the sin of pride
Am I wrong am I right? Am I losing my sight?
Abandoning the superior mind

Right away through the valleys grey
I will be gone
Through the shapeless land I walk alone
I will be gone
I'm left alone, I will be gone
Through the deepest void a blackened paradise
I will be gone
I walk alone, I'm left alone

The Bard's Song: In The Forest
Now you all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song

Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today it will be gone
Due to our magic songs

There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
No one should ask you
For the name of the one
Who tells the story

Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And you're not alone
So don't be afraid in the dark and cold
Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain

In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits
Dwarves and men and elves
Come close your eyes
You can see them too

Imaginations From The Other Side
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 too late

Will I ever see them back again
Or did they all die by my hand
Or were 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 ever flow
Before they'll fade away

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 the world
No place for daydreams
Serious life
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

I hope there is a way back
With my talisman so I look into myself
Into 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

Lost In The Twilight Hall
Awaiting my last breath
The mirror calls my name
It's showing me the way into the dark
The bridge appears
I jump into the dark side
And hear the voice it's cold as ice:
Welcome to reality

Where am I now?
Darkness surrounds
Can't go forward, can't go back

I see planets dying
I fall into the light a new universe awakens
I'm a traveler in time, pray for the light
Where's the key to the gate of a new life, no
I search for deliverance but I cannot find

Look behind the mirror
I'm lost in the twilight hall
Once I'll be back for a moment in time
That's when the mirror's falling down

Take me away from the place I've been
To another life in another world
A sign of life surrounds me now
The bridge appears in the dark, I'm free

I fly alone leaving this darkness now forever?
The memories of children
And the wisdom of many lives burns deep in me
Where will the light go to?
Is this deliverance? Is it the end?

I'm back there's a new chance for me
And all my memories are gone
I can feel what's happening to me
And the mirror will burst

A Past And Future Secret
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 didn't know much

Talking about a past
And future secret
Most call 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 now the ancient tale began
I hear it in the cold winds

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 dark
Take him back to Avalon
Dwell on for the 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
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

Time Stands Still At The Iron Hill
Light fails at dawn the moon is gone
And deadly the night reigns

Finally I've found myself in these lands
Horror and madness I've seen here
For what I became a king of the lost?
Barren and lifeless the land lies

Lord of all Noldor
A star in the night and a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord

The fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill

I stand alone, no one's by my side
I'll dare you, come out you coward
Now it's me or you

He gleams like a star
And the sound of his horn's
Like a raging storm
Proudly the high Lord challenges the doom
Lord of slaves he cries

Slowly in fear the Dark Lord appears
Welcome to my lands
You shall be damned

The iron crowned is getting closer
Swings his hammer down on him
Like a thunderstorm he's crushing down
Te Noldor's proudest king

Under my foot so hopeless it seems
You've troubled my day
Now feel the pain

The Elvenking's broken
He stumbles and falls
The most proud and most valiant
His spirit survives praise our king

Journey Through The Dark
Many songs I've written
About the things I saw
My inner soul's a wasteland
I can't run away from here
Try to find them
All the lost thoughts in my mind

I woke up on a hill
So many times before
Yesterday seems like a dream no more

Frozen memories laughing
They don't let me find the truth
Am I born to be a king
Or a jester of the fools

You're the mystical old bard
On your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark

I can't remember my name
I never knew how to find my home
I can't remember my name
Come tell me when will it end

I'm the chosen one
To perform all these things but not for me
In illusions and reality
I'm on my journey through the dark

I can't remember will I ever find myself
The distance is growing
My hope has gone away
A flash of light but nothing changes
When will it end which part of me remains

Soon I'll be back on my ferryboat of tales
Where oblivion reigns it will take all of me

Lord Of The Rings
There are signs on the ring
Which make me feel so down
There's One to enslave all rings
To find them all in time
And drive them into darkness
Forever they'll be bound

Three for the kings
Of the elves high in light
Nine to the mortal which cry

Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill

And there's no way out
Mordor, dark land under Sauron's spell
Threatened a long time

Seven rings to the gnomes
In their halls made of stone
Into the valley I feel down
One ring for the Dark Lord's hand
Sitting on his throne
In the land so dark where I've to go

Lord of the rings

Mirror, Mirror
Far, far beyond the island
We dwelt in shades of twilight
Through dread and weary days
Through grief and endless pain

It lies unknown the land of mine
A hidden gate to save us from the shadow fall
The Lord of Water spoke in the silence
Words of wisdom I've seen the end of all
Be aware the storm gets closer

Mirror, mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change

Mirror, mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That tomorrows bears insanity

Gone's the wisdom of a thousand years
A world in fire and chains and fear
Leads me to a place so far
Deep down it lies my secret vision
I better keep it safe

Shall I leave my friends alone
Hidden in my twilight hall
I know the world is lost in fire
Sure there is no way to turn it

Back to the old days
Of bliss and cheerful laughter
We're lost in barren lands
Caught in the running flames alone

How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark

Even though the storm calmed down
The bitter end is just a matter of time
Shall we dare the dragon
Merciless he's poisoning our hearts
