Lyrics[]

Steel of the brave hearts trapped inside
In frozen illusion
High is the mountain we must climb
Reach out for rebellion
Rise up to the open sky
Once chance at the price of glory

Fire in a thousand blazing skies
Once lifetime ascending
Strong is the army side-by-side
Still brave and defending
March on through the tragic lands
Cold tears in the north wind falling

Raise your souls high
See the new dream arise through the
Sands of all time, mystery of life
Everlasting sadness through light-years gone by
Land lost in time, once more back were we belong
Promises of yesterday, we'll keep holding on

Silent and twisted, lifeless mind
So blind in delusion
Cursed by the emptiness inside
Cast out in confusion
Strike back with the power in hand
Break free from a past life, dying

Onwards we strive till
The answers we'll find in the
Sands of all time, mystery of life
Everlasting sadness through light-years gone by
Land lost in time, once more back were we belong
Promises of yesterday, we'll keep holding on

Still lost alone and I'm dying
Daylight the world is still crying
Evermore we'll search throughout a lifetime

Stars are falling down tonight
Light the path where eagles fly
Find the strength inside us, a new world reborn

Silent tears of pain we cried
Raise our hand unto the sky
Break the chains that bind us
One moment as we
Rise up to the open sky
One chance a the price of glory

Raise your souls high
See the new dream arise through the
Sands of all time, mystery of life
Everlasting sadness through light-years gone by
Land lost in time, once more back were we belong
Promises of yesterday, we'll keep holding on

Sands of all time, once more we'll rise up again
Stand alone and fight till the end
