Lyrics[]

Falling from the sky now the sign of the burning sun

Into the face of the evil one

Nowhere to hide now we're on the run right before your eyes

we're watching, we're waiting, our souls are forsaken

The sign of the warriors, that evil will rise


Through the fire and the flames breaking the chains

Into the night we go

torment and pain, trample the slain

such as the death we know


Our steel will shine forever through the night and blinding rain

We'll see them face their fears its time to rise again in everlasting pain


Fly free for what we believe

One thousand hearts bleeding the eternal dream

Feel me the touch we all need

So silently now they will kneel

Cry for eternity


So now the fallen will live again

we'll feel the pain burn inside of them

Remember now what to be again, deep down inside

Still cursing, still calling, we're endlessly falling

The downfall of mankind, the fate of us all


Hold your head to the sky, bleeding we cry

Screaming until we know

Fire and pain, beginning again,

Onwards to Hell we go


Stand strong we'll live forever raging through the barren lands

Our eyes have seen the sorrow far across the stars

The power in our hearts


Fly free for what we believe

One thousand hearts bleeding the eternal dream

Feel me, the touch we all need

So silently now they will kneel

Cry for eternity


Fly far away to the end of our days

The voices of long distant cries

Now we remain in this labyrinth of pain

And so we ride into the night


Our steel will shine forever through the night and blinding rain

We'll see them face their fears its time to rise again in everlasting pain


Fly free for what we believe

One thousand hearts bleeding the eternal dream

Feel me the touch we all need

So silently now they will kneel

Cry for eternity

Cry for eternity
