Welcome my brothers, my comrades of hell
From fire we rose into battle we fell
Out of the nowhere, awakened from sleep
They're sowing their wind but our storm they will reap

Into the neverland, take my hand
We will fight and we will see
The dawn of a new destiny

We're the guardians of the sunrise, we march forevermore
With the providence of victory we're stronger than before
We're the guardians of the sunrise, the keepers of the gate
And we believe in prophecy of fate

Free like an eagle we ride through the sky
From dark clouded valleys to moutains up high
Live by the truth and the power of steel
The night's full of splendour, our swords they will feel

Into the neverland, take my hand
We will fight and we will see
The dawn of a new destiny

We're the guardians of the sunrise, we march forevermore
With the providence of victory we're stronger than before
We're the guardians of the sunrise, the keepers of the gate
And we believe in prophecy of fate

We're the guardians of the sunrise, forever side by side
Even through the flame and thunderstorm and through the deepest night
We're the guardians of the sunrise, on burning wings we fly
'Cause Heavy Metal's never gonna die

In a dream I saw the burning sky
Like thunder they rode on the wings of despair
On the fields of honour they will die
The kingdom of heaven lies broken and bare

They're calling out my name, with voices full of pai
The magic's gone, it dies in the flame
The bringer of the night, once was the lord of light
He summons up the dark hordes to fight
Fight against the heavens to take their lives

Beware the signs of these visions
Burning deep in my soul in my mind
I see you follow these visions
Great heroes will guide me on my way down
To the fire I'm bound, I'm burning forever
His kingdom will fall to the ground

Dark shadows haunt me in my dreams
A warrior eternal, a master of fate
My sacrifice left unrevealed
The free thoughts of glory are trapped in a maze

Your heart lies in my hand, this kingdom we'll defe
Our battlecry heard throughout the land
The bringer of the night, no longer lord of light
On wings of steel we're ready to fight
Fight against the demons to take their lives

Beware the signs of these visions
Burning deep in my soul in my mind
I see you follow these visions
Great heroes will guide me on my way down
To the fire I'm bound, I'm burning forever
His kingdom will fall to the ground

Oh, hear my calling
Black rain's dropping down from above
The final warning
The essence of life's not enough
I won't surrender
Grant me your bright wings to fly
I'm not a pretender
The signs of freedom on high
High, high in the sky
Oh, can't you see, they're turning on me
On the sins of the mortal they feed
Words full of lies, hear their screams and their cries
By the fear and the pain in their eyes


And the dragon will return from the sky
To burn down all evil and raise up the forces of light

I never knew that I could see the pain and the sorrows
That you hide in your mind and deep in your soul
So now forgive me that I hold the key to your heart
And the yearning that took me so far, far away

And as I feel inside the force to carry on
That´s when I realize our time has just begun

Sometimes when darkness falls I lie awake with my eyes open
wide. You cannot stop my thirst for revenge
I set my spirit free, the dawn it holds me in its deep embrace
From the twilight my soul will arise.

Inside myself there is a dream that never dies
This burning fever takes me to the open skies

Now we fly away to find Eternia
Farewell to pain and death, farewell to evil's breath
And as we fly away we'll find Eternia
On through the pouring rain and through the raging flame
We fly towards the sky

On through the raging fire, towards the battlefield
I know who you are are I will show you my power
Across the barren wasteland, thunder and lightning
On my feet as I ride through the skies I devour

Flying on wings of fury, only the strong survive
The weak will be wiped out by steelgrown desire
Deep in my heart is rising a blackened sun
That shines forever and ever, brings torment and fire
Inside myself there is a dream that never dies
This burning fever takes me to the open skies

Now we fly away to find Eternia
Farewell to pain and death, farewell to evil's breath
And as we fly away we'll find Eternia
On through the pouring rain and through the raging flame
We fly towards the sky

Raven wings carry me through pain
Carry me through the wind and rain
When the fever takes control
In my heart and in my soul

Our time has begun and I won't be alone

Say goodbye, welcome the new
You are the last, you know it's true
Like a gust of wind, so strong
And you know you don't belong

Break the chains and just let go
Shackles of the past - no more
Follow me, swim with the tide
Climbing to the stars tonight

Waiting for a miracle (waiting for the fall)
No I'm standing tall
I believe in what I do (you are just a fool)
I won't heed your call

I'm still here, there's no fear
I will never disappear, I am here, crystal clear
Carry on, on my way
There is no more left to say, I am here, crystal clear

See we're marching once again
All following the masterplan
Conformity brings no surprise
Can't you see your flame, it dies

Washed away like sand and stone
No way out you are alone
One last chance to see the light
I'll watch you going down tonight

You forget that I am strong (all alone there is no way)
Hear me what I say
So much power left to fight (we all know our way is right)
I don't fear the night

I decide what is best for me
I will be forever free
No more lies, I won't hear your cries
It would be the end for me
I decide what is best for me
I will be forever free
No more lies, I won't hear your cries
And there's just one thing left for me and you'll see

Shadows falling down on me to cover land and sky
The eerie wind is howling at the place my brothers lie
Long ago we fought together on the fields of no return
On this soil once flowers grew now flames of hatred burn

Riding on the wings of glory, fight to stay alive
Surrender to the dreams inside your head
Leave behind your sorrows and illuminate your life
Until the steel inside your hand shines red

No more tears in the rain
No more fears, no more pain
When my home and my whole world is burning
No more hope for the lost
No more silence, no cost
Still unbroken for freedom I'm yearning

Onward now my warriors, we fight with no remorse
Sail away, the stars will guide us far to distant shores
Thunder shakes the battlefield the dark defeats the light
'Till the last there's no retreat for we stand as one tonight
Riding on the wings of glory, fight to stay alive
Surrender to the dreams inside your head
Leave behind your sorrows and illuminate your life
Until the steel inside your hand shines red

Another voice inside the haze
Some kind of slumber on my face
Am I awake or in a sleep
A shiver's rising from the deep
The visions haunt me in my dreams
Must be more evil than it seems
Withstand the fall of endless dark
Mighty immortal dragonheart

Years gone by since evil's fall
Glory days since freedom's call
Peace and joy throughout the land
Heaven seems to be unbent

Savage dreams roam in my head
Dreams of pride that turn the battlefiel to red
Can we stand the test of time
Or will we fall from grace divine

Demons ride from behind, rising from the ashes
But tonight we just follow the sign
Tonight - when the meaning is right, right, right

I believe that I will always be free and I see
The voices calling to me, into the fire we ride
And immortal is my dragonheart
Hope someday we live in freedom again and our land
We will forever defend, high on a wire we ride
'cause immortal is my dragonheart


Banished from eternity
Cover your face endlessly
Can't deny the hand of fate
That turns the wheel of this never-ending hate

A heart that's born without false pride
Keeps on burning side by side
Endless it will roam the sky
Belive me you can't kill what doesn't die

Now I can see you, the one of iron heart
Freedom to me and my soul
To be strong once again

I know what I believe in
I hope you know it too
Just listen to the call
And you know now what to do
I see my brothers standing
I see them everywhere
The time is right for us
Raise your hands into the air

Livin' in a world of danger
With a heart that's full of fire
Just another way to carry on
Gaze into the dragon's eye
It's blinded by desire
Take your chance now children of the sun

We are back, back on the street again
Hold on to your dreams my friend
The burnin' of bridges it has just begun
Just open your eyes and see
A world far from misery
Our army is rising whatever will come

Driftin' through empty spaces
Through clouds and starlit skies
Above the wintersun
Where the mighty dragon flies
The wind blows in our faces
Our hearts are filled with pride
A new age will appear
And the truth is on our side

Livin' in a world of danger
With a heart that's full of fire
Just another way to carry on
Gaze into the dragon's eye
It's blinded by desire
Take your chance now children of the sun

Together, forever, I want it now or never
Tonight the time is right for fightin'
The fire, desire, this flight will take you higher
Don't be afraid it's tantalizing

Michael: In the deep of the shadows, when the night begins to fall
Luzifer: In the darkness of this world I grow stronger than you all
Michael: It's the dawn of a new age, we're the guardians of the light
Luzifer: By the wheel of destiny who is wrong and who is right, who will be right

Michael: Evil or divine I feel the force
Fate lies in our hands when we are

Both: Going down
Luzifer: I´m the one that needs your heart
Michael: Here I am, the fallen one into the fire
Both: Burn with me
Michael: Lost forever's what you are
Luzifer: I can see a veil of malice and pride in us all

Michael: There is pain in my heart
It's the final revelation that will tear the world apart
And the day soon will come
When the fate of us all will reveal what we´ve done
Luzifer: Take these chains off, I never believe
Roam the nightly spheres just like a thief, just like a thief

Luzifer: Do you know why I hate you, why I hate you and your lies
"Redemption" is the word you spoke, there is freedom in your eyes
Michael: At the end you will follow, there's a better way to go
If you choose the path of steel it's damnation for your soul

Luzifer: I see the sky is falling
Demons, wolves and shadows crawling
The age of innocence is lost beneath my wings
Michael: Still crying tears of sorrow
Deep inside there's now tomorrow
I fear the future and the sadness that it brings

Luzifer: Rising up from the ground
I will spit upon your cross and I will turn it upside down
Now the whole world is mine
Feed my hunger on the sins and on the hatred of this time
Michael: Every minute a child in disguise
Turns away from the fire in your eyes, the fire in your eyes

Ride with the wind, hymns of freedom we sing
And the dawn has revealed a new day
Now we belong, like a phoenix so strong
To the fire that burns us away
Here for all time, I will stand on the line
I have sworn words of power and steel
Born in the flame, blood of vengeance my name
By the trial of truth you will kneel
