Grailknights - Calling The Choir lyrics



Tracks



01. Calling The Choir

Rise for the knights
For the lords of land and seas
Down, on your knees
Kneel before thy majesties

Now it's official
The troops have arrived
The Choir is calling
It's side against side
While we're preparing
The others attack
They seem so much stronger
but we have to fight back

We've seen all the signs
Too much blood has been shed
We take a position and retaliate the dead
It's brother 'ainst brother
Mind against mind
So punish the guilty and fight for mankind

Forget where you're from
Decide what to do
Fight for a cause that's challenging you
Be a backstabbin pain
In the neck of the strong
The choir is calling, the call is this song

Hail to the knights
Hail to their Battlechoir
Blades break the spell
A legend is born

The first beams of light
Mett the wide fields of green
Yet peaceful and quiet
They are not what they seem

My true-hearted friends
Beneath the meadow you lie
Brave man of Grailham
Your names shall not die

Regain what you've lost
Defeat what you feared
Reconquer the land
Stand tall at all cost

Grailknights Battlechoir?
Yes, Sire!

02. Now Or Nevermore

Many sails at rest
Tomorrow I'll be blessed
By a blast of wind
By a distant glint
By a swell of hipe
That will shake the stars

Lurking danger's near
I have to face my fear
In the spectral deep
Death might have fallen asleep
Silence screams out so loud
Echoes eternally

My life is a journey
My life is a quest
Does never stand still
Remains in unrest
My life is a battle
My heart rests with you
When the hour has come
Leave no more ado

On the silent sea, sailling silently
To the shores of eternity
Where no breakers roar
Will you greet us ashore?
Brothers ho, it's now or nevermore

And when all time's done
I'll be standing one
Behind the line of blue
There I shall wair for you
Beneath the silent Moon
Beyond infinity

In the dead of night
Under the stars' dim light
I dream beside the sea
A dream that could not be
The waves that meet the shore
Say "Dreamer, dream no more!"

I know one day we will return
I know one day we'll have to learn
That life's too short to waste the days
That life's too short to miss the pa

03. Morning Dew

Welcome to tha age of rising terror
Welcome to the time of damp, smoke and steam
The future is near, the future is here
A flash lights up the nocturnal sky

Brothers we sail the deep blue sea
To flee from a life full of misery
Liquid pearis of morning dew
Will glisten in silver
When the sun breaks through

We dance, we sing, we laugh and cheer
We raise our pints and forget our woes
Come my brother, come my friend
All bad times must reach an end
Tomorrow the sun will shine for us

The wind is right to leave this land
"Men stand up and be at hand"
Get your goods an chattels out
We turn our backs to dust and drought

We dance, we sing, we love and cheer
Fave the wind, taste the sald
Feeld the breeze, there's no halt
Tomorrow the sun will shine for us
The clouds turn to black
The heat is up
The night comes back
Our life is on the edge
Of the abyss of righteousnedd

The opaque shimmer of a distant shore
The tune of life and ancient lore
The coast is near our place to dwell
Well tanked up and straight to hell

Morning dew is reflecting the fire
As it devours our wishes and hopes
Never give up, never give in
Sons and daughters stand the pace

04. Absence Of Gravity

And when we finally arrive
Time doesn't matter anymore
There is just you and me
And the absence of gravity

Come away my child, we float into space
Come away my child, soon we'll be embraced
By day and night, bridal of the sky
Rain shall weep our fall tonight
For we must die

It's growing dark
Shadows crawl up the wall
The evening damps
In solitude they fall

But one last page is left to us
But one last page is free
When on our thoughts the shadows fall
We know it's time to flee

Fly in the absence of gravity
Take leave of your sorrow-clouded eyes
Float into the mists of insanity
To the humming sound of mortal soul's last sighs

Call me once before you fo
Call and come away
The wild winds now they homeward blow
Alas! We cannot stay

And as gravity returns
My body bends under a heavy burden
A burden called life

05. Victorious

Don't count the years
That you've been waiting
Come dry the tears
Our hearts will remain

The day has come
To end all the silence
The time is right
We rise again

Stand tall and face the north wind
Call to arms, we march till the end

Celestial dawn
Hear the armies of the fallen
Look to the sky
Old strength they regained

The day has come
To end all the silence
The time is right
We rise again

For years
I've been waiting
For years
For this day to come

Don't give in to your fears
And you shall get what you deserve
Don't leave the road
Tonight strike back with no reserve

We shall regain
Honour and might
We shall reclaim
Power and pride

Eternal sunlight
Illuminates the darkness
Don't fear the end
It's s all but a dream

The day has come
To end all the silence
The time is right
We rise again

Stand tall and face the north wind
Call to arms, we march till the end

Don't give in to your fears
And you shall get what you deserve
Don't leave the road
Tonight strike back with no reserve

We must conclude
Pain and demise
We must exile
Deceptions and lies

Victorious
Pass the flickering flame
Victorious
We shall remember your names
Victorious
Your lights will conquer the world
Victorious
Your voice shall not stay unheard

06. Anna Lee

In the sad silence of night
Lurid sea, so still and dead
I heard Anna weep for her fate
Waves breathing the tears that she shed

So Anna Lee gave her body to the sea
The ocean became her tranquil grave
No more sorrows, now she is free
Devoured by just one greedy wave

Anna Lee lost in the kingdom by the sea
By the sea with no shore
In the lone ancient kingly halls
She chose not to live anymore

So Anna Lee gave her body to the sea
To reach... she was never meant to be
The... waves are her destiny
And now she's my queen of the sea

So I sailed across the sea
To find my dear Anna Lee
But the waves didn't let her go
And the wind never ceased to blow

Anna yearned for mountains and fields
She longed for flowers and trees
But most of all for just one single smile
And a slumber in the warm summer breeze

So Anna Lee gave her body to the sea
The ocean became her tranquil grave
No more sorrows, now she is free
Devoured by just one greedy wave

So I sailed across the sea
To find my dear Anna Lee
But the waves didn't let her go
And the wind never ceased to blow
So I sailed to find the shore
But couldn't find home any more, any more, any more

Away, so far away
My bride is so far away,
Away, so far away
My love is so far away

I came to this hall where she was before
I shivered, I quivered but I opened the door
A sweet scent of violets in the air
But Anna, Anna Lee, no, she wasn't there

So close your eyes that one day you may see
Me sing songs to my sweet Anna Lee
So close your eyes that one day you may see
Me sing songs to my dear Anna Lee
So close your eyes that one day you may see
Me sing songs to my queen of the sea

07. Desert Star

Desert star
Grow to the end of all time
The red glowing sun
Is guiding my way

Desert star
Grown to the end of all time
Storm, sand and rain
Shall not seal your fate
Desert star
Enlighten my heart with your grace
The red glowing sun
Is guiding my way
Shine till the end of all time

Thright the land
Swirls a violent storm
Lifts the sand
To carry it hundreds of miles away
I raise my voice for the last goodbye

For your sake
I merge land and water
For your sake
I split the mountains in two
I lift up my head and welcome the night

A seed shall sprout
Out of the soil
Spread by my blood, sweat and tears
A fragile plant shall
Arise to new life
And free me from all pain and fears

The sun burns down
On my desert star
No promising cloud
To shelter the plant
Young life will fade
There's no rain to come

A seed shall sprout
Out of the soil
Spread by my blood, sweat and tears
A fragile plant shall
Arise to new life
And free me from all pain and fears

08. Sea Song

A long time ago
The tide is calm and low
They row all night and day
But none shall see his bay ever again

Westwards we go
Riugh winds begin to blow
One more pull and then belai
A storm to get under way

Defying danger
Defying death
The highest wave
Will never impale our spirit
Winds toss
To and fro
Dead callous waves
But we will never change our course

By the rooks, trees and water
What if I never die?
The world would be mine
By the wind, rain and fire
What if we are meant to see
The dawn of a new day?

Our hearts begin to glow
It's time for us to go
The cost is high, we can't delay
Call the storm to get under way

On the sea with no shore
I will hail you once more on the day that we part
You will grow in my heart
Farewell my good friend
We'll meet again

Brothers I'll hear from you
When I'm on the other side
Brother I'll hear from you
Calling from the depth of the ocean

When my heart beats for the cery last time
I won't regret what grew on my mind
Though fortune's denied
I will stand by your side
I will rise with the tide
Till the end of all time
Father can you hear me
Deep down in my ocean grave?
Father can you see me
Below the spray of a geedy wave

09. End Of The World

I saw the lights of the world

I saw the lights of the world
I saw them shining
Through the darkness of night
I saw the lights of the word
Not doom but elucidate my life

Smell the steam and dust
Taste the oil and rust
Rop my heart dout of my chest
And throw it into the mud

Set my soul on fire
Feel my great desire
Join the rave hat leads us to the end of all time
Leads us where the lights brightly shine

Yeah, a fire breaks through the clouds
Saint and sinners be free of all doubt
This trip will last forevermore

And when I'm long gone
Beneath the shadows I dwell
You shall feel no wrong!
But pass my tale

Through silence might reign
In the dead of the night
Life will return
With morning's first dim light
With morning's first dim light

a fire breaks through the clouds
Saint and sinners be free of all doubt
This trip will last forevermore

I saw the end of the world
I saw it coming like a blizzard from hell
I saw the end of the world
A vision of the apocalypse

How well I knew the light before!
I could not see it now
T is dying, I am doing; but
I'm not afraid to know

Weep now, or nevermore
Sleep tight my silent queen
I've lost my love
I've lost my life
Lost my will to go on

Where you are, I cannot be
Lost my reason to live
In your hand lies the key to a world
Where we forget and forgive

10. Far And Away

Feel the pain of the last goodbye

For and away, let the past be past
We left our footprints in the snow
Through time rushes by, our flame shall not die
When it's time for us to go

Look back on time with kindly eyes
There is no life without demise
A life-lasting journey has come to an end

For and away, say where is all the time
Years they came and swiftly passed by
We bow to you all on this vernable night
The spirit you spread shall be out guide

Feel the pain of the last goodbye

While demons have taken control of my senses
I slowly fade into a dream
A comatose state, a figbound utopia
Built on fire, mist and steam

Please let me go
You will not go that far
Please let me feel
You will not feel that much
So let me live
You will not live that long
So let me die
Oh, I grant you what you wish

So far and away
We'll meet again one day
So far and away
We'll meet again for the last goodbye

11. Holding Out For A Hero

You need a hero
You're holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,
And he's got to be fresh from the fight
You need a hero
You're holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon,
And he's got to be larger than life, larger than life

Where have all the good men gone
And where are the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isn't there a white knight
Upon a fiery steed?
Late at night you toss and turn
And dream of what you need

Somewhere after midnight
In your wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond your reach
There's someone reaching back for you

Racing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
It's gotta take a Superman
To sweep you off your feet

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
You can feel my approach like a fire in your blood (in your blood)

You need a hero
