Lyrics:
---------------
Far from the memory of this world
Across an ocean old
The legend of the sword
Still remains untold
The sword inside the stone
Awaits you to become
A king by your own hand
Your tale to be sung
Gather by the fire
Remember
Tales of ancient kings and gods
When the stars were young and brighter
And history was just a song
Born of mighty earth and fire
Forged to be a sign of hope
Let the one who comes with virtue
Let the sword from stone be drawn
Infinite water
Breath of the everlasting sky
Fiery blood of earth below
In forest deep where shadows grow
Glorious sun
Now the time has come
A king to be by your own hand
Hope and peace across the land
(Rise from shame, Fall in vain)
Now you fall It was in vain
Deeds of Men, Eternal game
I recall the tale of the Ancient Sword
As I walk into the Night
Broken walls and fallen gates
Deeds of blood no longer wait
One more step into the other side
My shattered body is only left behind
We fade away towards the night
Dreams of youth in ruins lie
Hold me in your arms my love
I’ll soon be there with you
Red the light and red the Sun
Defeat and death will reign the land
Haunted by the tales around the fire
Compassionate gods, noble knights
Songs that echo through eternity
Forgotten by the break of dawn
Breaking of dawn
Fade away…
We are tears of the ancient sun
We are ghosts of the fallen
Fallen ones
Fallen ones
We are shadows in the ruins
Only grains of the eternal sand
Grains of sand
We belong to the endless night
Once the children of a cursed sun
Cursed sun
I return
Now my sword to the lake
Until it’s time to be unveiled
Once again…
