Lyrics[]
Finally all the world will see
Rise again before the endless silence
Burn the soul before we'll all be free
Light the path beneath the Blackened burning sky.
One final sacrifice this night belongs to me
Turn back before the dawn of winter
So far away the cry set fallen angels free
Through my mind tonight our journey ever after
Never ending solitude this is your life to be
So cold and dark the voice of sadness
Suffering in endless pain the truth of all to be
Crawling back to life through ever blinding darkness
Free falling fate's warning find a life to hold on
Soul stealers true believers rise now they are gone
And as they ride away forsake the one to save us
Winter's mourning on a lost fallen world
Pray now united in a lifetime alone
Won't you wait for the silence so strong?
Wait for the dawn
Tonight falling like the rain insanity lives on.
Feel the shattered dreams one thousand voices crying
Raging endlessly they come
Woh-oh!
And the morning light will hide the darker days gone by
And the sun will shine again across the blazing skies
Glorious eternally we'll rise above the world
Marching on till victory we fight
The fire still burns
Looking back our passing lives their memories to see
Flick through the passages of silence
Hidden by the sacrifice, to set the demons free
Now they understand reclaim the land relentless
Fear calling transforming stand alone in our time
Advocation desolation slay the vision divine
And all the stars fall around the world tonight
Silent forces from a past life return
Pray for the silence in a world so alone
Till we touch the horizon beyond
Fly through the storm
Tonight falling like the rain insanity lives on
Feel the shattered dreams one thousand voices crying
Raging endlessly they come
Woh-oh!
And the morning light will hide the darker days gone by
And the sun will shine again across the blazing skies
Glorious eternally we'll rise above the world
Marching on till victory we fight
The fire still burns
The tears in your eyes, a lifetime of misery
In the silence we stand all alone for the fate of our own destiny
A lifetime of lies, one chance at this fantasy
The judgment will pass for the cries of the world that
has faded for me
Woh-oh-oh-oh
Woh-oh-oh-oh
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woh-oh-oh-oh
Woh-oh-oh-oh
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Tonight falling like the rain insanity lives on
Feel the shattered dreams one thousand voices crying
Raging endlessly they come
Woh-oh
And the morning light will hide the darker days gone by
And the sun will shine again across the blazing skies
Glorious eternally, we'll rise above the world
Marching till victory we fight
The fire still burns
