[Instrumental]

This startling confusion of where I am
Floating memories and images drifting
I found myself beyond the stars
Through time and space with darkness leading me

Where dreams and darkness unite
Infinity and oblivion entwine

There is no choice but one
To forge ahead or to retreat
The struggle has begun
The ancient foe I vow to defeat

The startling confusion of where I am
I've journeyed long and here I stand
Poised at the gate to eternity
I'm on my own and I must proceed

Where dreams and darkness unite
Infinity and oblivion entwine

Screams of the dying mortals
I can hear their screams
Grim visions of the dead
That I dream

Embrace the cause that once united
Break the walls that once divided
Lose not the hope you once had
The dream still lives and I will not fail

At the threshold, one step to change
To make a choice
I promise that I will not fail

Embrace the cause
Break the walls
Lose not the hope
The dream still lives and I will not fail

Into these dreams of darkness that unite our souls
Into these dreams of sadness forever we'll go
Forsaking the illusion that turns the flesh from stone
Forsaking this illusion that binds us to the bone

Weeping words are spoken, bespeak the misery
Time has taken apart what's meant to be
Hope has been shattered, the pieces that you see
Words are shaping, this message I will read

My choice has been made
I shall return to dark
This time I do not believe
Death be mine, I can't betray

I turn the key and lock the gate
Close the door and seal my fate
Take the road that leads me to home
Death be mine I can't betray

And he has returned
From the lands afar
A place that's unknown
A realm beyond the stars

He will fight the war
He will save us all
The kingdom long forsaken
Will now be restored

And he has returned
Nemesis of the dark

I breathe new life
I bring you hope
I shall conquer the evil
Their dominion I shall burn

I see the signs
I read the scrolls
Grim visions of the haunting past
I bring to ruination

I will save this world
From the end of time

So he has returned
The fool, the mortal
He never will learn
That he can't succeed
No mercy shall be shown

Death and destruction
This world will burn
Down to the ground
Annihilated, nothing remains

The prophecy did read that he would one day return
The warrior has returned!
The warrior has returned!

I foresee the darkness will fall

I will save this world
From the end of time

I breathe new life
I bring you hope
I shall conquer the evil
Their dominion I shall burn

I will save the world
Nemesis of the dark

My blackened heart does still bleed red
I rue the day that I cursed you
And watched you bleed in the cold winter's night
The light in your eyes still haunts me to this day

I saw the words, and fears in your mind
I knew that you would never forgive me this day

No one will ever understand
The way the world turned that night
We knew not the road, we knew not the path
But you closed you eyes and I led the way

My blackened heart does still bleed red
I rue the day that I cursed you
And watched you bleed in the cold winter's night
The light in your eyes still haunts me to this day

I saw the hurt and the tears in your eyes
I knew that you would never forgive me this day

We will find the way out of this place
I promise not to break your faith
This road I've walked before and I know
I'm sorry that I've led you astray

Silence breaks when the clock starts ticking
Our race against time, never ending
This time is slowly running out
This time is slowly running out

A leaf will fall and the Earth shall crumble
Deranged visions, my hands tremble
This time is slowly running out
This time has run us out

My oath, my word of honor
The promise I was unable to keep

My truth, still not forsaken
The courage that won't let me weep

This horror, unseen
My brave face is wearing thin

The tears that run dry
The pain that's mine to keep

My heart is spinning darkness
To this world I don't belong
Fortune is not with me

While the world soundly sleeps
I put back together the broken pieces
Mortal life, immortal sin
I begin my journey once again

The rage, the hate, the anger, the pain
The memories that still keep me awake

The love, the lost, the spoken, the thought
The memories that tear me apart inside

My rage, my hate, my anger, my pain
The feelings that can no longer be contained

My love, my loss, the vengeance I sought
I am now compelled to unleash my wrath

Innocence betrayed and destiny did forsake
The pieces of a tragedy, laid waste

And your blood I will spill to avenge what's lost
You'll seek my pardon and I will not forgive

From the pain I inflict upon your wretched soul
You beg for mercy and I take your life

Fear, you reek
Suffer, you will
Death is inevitable
Time to meet you fate

And your blood I will spill to avenge what's lost
You'll seek my pardon and I will not forgive

From the pain I inflict upon your wretched soul
You beg for mercy and I take your life

Fear, you reek
Suffer, you will
Death is inevitable
Time to meet your fate

I am the hatesphere, engulfed in rage
I am the bringer of death and decay

Of the everlasting pain that inflict
A man possessed, and I can't be stopped

I close my eyes
And find the strength
To carry on
Without you by my side

I will go the distance, I will not recede
My path is drawn and destiny beckons me

Mark my words
The code of the ancient world
To which we must return

Spoken, the words of the prophecy resound
Through the silence of the night
While the world still sleeps

Broken, the honor by which were bound
But we have returned
To fulfill the promise of the past

Did I close my eyes for too long?
Enough for them to strike you down?
Let it not be so that I failed you
For forgiveness I would not accept

Engraved are the words, forever they hold
Blood of the elders that marked us four
The light of the fire that guides us forth
We are bound by blood, fire and stone

Bound? As one

Spoken, the words of the prophecy resound
Through the silence of the night
While the world still sleeps

Broken, the honor by which we were bound
But we have returned
To fulfill the promise of the past

Did I close my eyes for too long?
Enough for them to strike you down?
Let it not be so that I failed you
For forgiveness I would not accept

The mouth that bites must not be fed

The code of honor that will guide us on
We stand united in this bleak hour
Go forth into battle, we will march
We shall fight until death and not accept defeat

We are the hope for a new world order
United for the world we stand
We are the four who will end this reign
Of tyranny?

We stand tall among the multitude
Like gods among the men
We are the ones who will vanquish the dark
Into obscurity?

The mouth that bites must not be fed

Engraved are the words, forever they hold
Blood of the elders that marked us four
The light of the fire that guides us forth
We are bound by blood, fire and stone

Where do we go?
Far away from here
Have we lost all?
To the dark

The dark?
The dark?
When the lights are fading fast
We follow the road to black
When the faith breaks, all is lost
Lose not hope, we shall not fall

The slow wind
The tide
Now the lights are gone
And doom is here

Fear him, the harbinger
Fear him, messenger of death

Your weaknesses fuels his strength
It is your fear on which he feeds
A pestilence that breeds
Evoked by darkness he must feed on flesh

In conjure spells
That blacken your heart, I am reading
Into your mind
Your darkness is my closest kin

I am despair
Death and sorrow, the unhealer
No one I'll spare
Slip my venom beneath your skin

My dissent? Futile!
My resistance? I shall crush!
My defiance? Perish!
To your end

Warriors? Hear my call

I will lead the legions
I will cut you down
I will make you pay
Your blood on my hands
Death you shall meet
Darkness I will defeat
Mercy you entreat
Victorious, I

There is no escape
From the inevitable
Accept your fate
The darkness will reign supreme

Slain, he is no more
His death will mark this war
Gather the army
Darkness still lingers near

Injected, the venom devours me
Eroding away my sanity
From this enslavement I must be free

In this hour of need
I believe you're watching over me

As the hour looms, we brace ourselves for battle
Armies prepare for the siege
We must destroy the mortals their sickening breed
Decimate them all

Assemble the armies, prepare for the attack
The battle cry resounds
Spare not a soul of the adversary
Burn them to the ground

The time is here
At the onset of war we show no fear
March forward and take them by force
It's time to go forth
Go forth!
Go forth!
Go forth!
And kill or be killed!

Into battle we march
No dread, no mercy
Break the walls, tear them down
The hour of reckoning is now

Die by my sword, blasphemous demons!
I tear you down, blood stains the Earth

Show them no mercy, blasphemous demons!
We slay them as they stand in our path

Kill!
Dismembering the fallen

The ground, it shakes
The Earth, it quakes
Marching forward their armies appear

Stand your ground men
You will fear not the Reaper
This is our time and this is our glory

The ground, it shakes
The Earth, it quakes
Brandish thy sword
It's now or never

We must not perish
We fight till the end
See them through darkness
Unto their deaths

I do pledge my heart, soul and body
To give all I have to save us from darkness

I will not follow you into defeat
This is our last chance and we must believe

I will now tear the flesh from their skin
This war be done and a new life begins

I will not spare a single soul
When this is done the story will be told

Charge! Attack!


Torn limb from limb
The bodies are piled
The stench of death and
Vile, filthy, dirty, rotting flesh

Charge! Attack!

The time is now
To raise the blade
And send them back from whence they came

Die by my sword, blasphemous demons!
I tear you down, blood stains the Earth

Kill!
Dismembering the fallen

Show them no mercy, blasphemous demons!
We slay them as they stand in our path

We built a kingdom but the world around
Succumbed to the evil that brought us down
There was no reason for us to fail
Or for the castle to crumble this way

We walk down a fallen road
Take back the power we did hold
I will break the walls and I will tear you down
I will return to claim the crown that's mine

To the end alone
Far beyond and far away
By the blade of my sword
This is the final stand

The world enslaved and by darkness bound
A black veil of evil that still surrounds
The pain of mankind in their eyes
A grim painted picture but we did survive

We claim what was once lost
Take back the hope that we lost
I will raise the blade and I will bring you down
I will prevail and I will not turn around and die

To the end alone
Far beyond and far away
By the blade of my sword
This is the final stand

This life is ours
I am all that you are not
Eradicate the heart
You perish this night

Fire, to dust we all do turn
Fire, to death we will burn

To my comrades fallen
Dead at my feet
Your death will not be in vain

Take me down, where the river flows

Long was the road to the end
But I fought on
For what I must defend
To fulfill the vow
To return and avenge
To slay their breed
And uphold to the death
What I believe

In my heart I believe
Victorious now I will be

I see through your severed soul
I shall bring you demise

Now as the hour looms near
The darkness wanes
And our path shines clear
We march toward the gates
Where he awaits I will face
My arch nemesis
With the hopes of the world
I march on through?

I my heart I believe
Victorious now I will be

By my hand
You shall perish
Face my fury
I unleash my wrath

I will not spare the last
The shadows of doom no more shall he cast
Crush his soul into the ground
No trace of the darkness shall ever be found

The warrior has returned triumphant
The kingdom now restored
Above the bodies of a thousand foes
He stands among the gods

Victorious he's returned
The guardian of us all
Avenging our fellow men
He did vanquish them all

The time has come, to leave this world behind
To find new meaning, a new life
This world holds nothing more for me
It is time to leave it all behind

Do you believe there is a place in the stars where all of us will go?
Do you believe that through this journey of life we have no control?
Do you believe there is a place in the stars where I must go?
Do you believe that through this journey of life I will die alone?
Tonight I wish upon the shooting star to take me away
Far beyond this reality through time and space
This is the time that I close my eyes and dream of thee
And open my heart to the falling stars and weep...
