ANCIENT BARDS LYRICS

1. Struggle For Life

Only darkness
I can feel the beat of my heart getting weaker
A tightness that makes it hard for me to move my body
Iʼm tired
I can feel the wind through my hair, the beating of his wings
All around itʼs dark
But I can see a light far from the distance
You canʼt die now
Find your strength Daltor!

2. To The Master Of Darkness

[Storyteller]
A dazzling light
rips the sky
drawing lines through the dusk
nobody sees it
the heroes keep walking on
cruelly the sunlight is hitting his armour
that's reflecting rays all around

Wonderful creature
with instinct to kill
with his magic Sendor has stolen your will
mighty and strong
oh so quickly you zoom
showing Daltor his doom

Wonderful creature
with nothing to fear
you fly over valleys so fierce and austere
holding and clutching the knight in your claws
against your holy laws

[Black Dragon]
Give up! you foolish madman
Give up! you cannot win
Start saying your last prayers
cause your life won't be spared

Give up! you foolish madman
Give up! you cannot win
Start saying your last prayers
cause your life won't be spared

[Daltor]
My spirit's pure my faith is strong I won't give in
though I ain't got my silver sword
I'll save myself and you!

[Storyteller]
Daltor is choked with the strength of the grasp
he still has one last weapon that he can clasp
now he bends outwards to reach for his foot
puts a hand in his boot

He takes a dagger that secretly kept
to hold and to use just in case he was trapped
wounding the dragon blood starts now to drip
so it loosens its grip

[Black Dragon]
Give up! you foolish madman
Give up! you cannot win
Start saying your last prayers
cause your life won't be spared

Give up! you foolish madman
Give up! you cannot win
Start saying your last prayers
cause your life won't be spared

[Daltor]
My spirit's pure my faith is strong I won't give in
though I ain't got my silver sword
I'll save myself and you!

[Storyteller]
Wounded, bleeding from his chest and possessed
the beast fights the king of the west
casting shadows on the land
leaving traces on the white sand

[Daltor]
now listen, hear my voice
I know your heart is still in there
refuse his guidance
I know you can

[Storyteller]
Wounded, bleeding now it's no more possessed
now freed its spirit can now rest
casting shadows on the land
leaving traces on the white sand

[Daltor]
Now my dragon fly me to Sendor
take me into the heart of Noland
where the sun never shines and the fog's always thick
where the sounds just gets lost in the forest
take me straight to the master of darkness!

3. Gates Of Noland

[Storyteller]
Meanwhile the heroes are searching for a way
to get to the Dark Cave as soon as they can
they're ready for anything to stop the impending war
this is what they gathered for
they stick to each other and they promise to themselves
they won't let fear or vengence take control over their lives
now that Dorus has the sword they're feeling strong again
feeling finally as a whole
even tighter than before

Step by step they walk in line
Alron's leading the way
to the inaccessible
gates of Noland

[The Group]
Waving our banners with pride we go
from the mountain tops to the shores
with our heads up high
to the moon so bright
we deliver our song tonight

[Storyteller]
The end of Lastworld is near and they feel
that peril and anguish are waiting for them
Now that Dorus has the sword the wizard will succumb
and then peace will shine again
even brighter than before

Step by step they walk in line
Alron's leading the way
to the inaccessible
gates of Noland

[The Group]
Waving our banners with pride we go
from the mountain tops to the shores
with our heads up high
to the moon so bright
we deliver our song tonight

4. Broken Illusion

[Alron]
We're before the cavern's gates
at the entrance of this dark place of loneliness
it was dug into the rock
by an ancient tribe
to imprison their outlaws

On the left side of the cave
there's empty spot
where the black dragon used to be
but on the other side
even the white dragon is missing

We must walk into the cave
Walking down into the heart of the mountain
The cobwebs will hide the waypay attention
cause it's easy to get lost

We're inside a labyrinth
made of long tunnels that'll take you nowhere
bones here and there on the groundoh yes,
this one's a risky mission

[Shena]
Down there my ring says follow my lead
the thing we're looking for is down there
soon we will solve the mystery of the sword
here we are this is the place

[The Kings]
The boy told the truth
the chest's not in its place
he was right the chest is no longer here
our fear has become reality
now our duty is harder than ever

The boy told the truth
the chest's not in its place
he was right the chest is no longer here
our fear has become reality
now our duty is harder than ever

The boy told the truth
the chest's not in its place
he was right the chest is no longer here
our fear has become reality
now our duty is harder than ever

[Rahed]
Let's go my friendswe gotta go there
we must reach the dark lord
before it's too late
we will go together
to the perpetrator's den
and save the day!

5. All That Is True

[Storyteller]
Standing by the window
two shadows are getting closer
tight in a warm embrace

Swayin' under the moonlight
caressing each others hands
with such a peaceful grace

Gently she leans now
her head on his chest
feeling his heartbeat
she lets her hair down

[Woman]
My love I can't do this
we knew it from the start
I just can't be with you
You're not from around here,
you're not one of my kind,
this love's against the law

[Storyteller]
He kisses her forehead
then shifts to her neck
she starts breathing faster
the passion's too strong

[Man and Woman]
To my heart you're all that is true (I feel you)
and I won't give up on you
loving you is all I can do (I know)
you're all that's worth living for

[Man]
My love let me love you
for nothing can come between us
not even your cruel laws
Together we can make it
and I'll be yours forever,
untill death do us part

[Storyteller]
He kisses her forehead
then shifts to her neck
she starts brathing faster
the passion's too strong

[Man and Woman]
To my heart you're all that is true (I feel you)
and I won't give up on you
loving you is all I can do (I know)
you're all that's worth living for

To me you're my air
you're all that I see
my angel of love
loving you is all I can do (I know)
you're all that I need

[Man]
After this union a baby is born
we'll secretly raise him until he's ready
to prove to the world our love
is true and we'll be free

[Man and Woman]
To my heart you're all that is true (I feel you)
and I won't give up on you
loving you is all I can do (I know)
you're all that's worth living for

[Storyteller]
The new family were happy, peace reigned among them, they lived united in the hope that some day they could share their joy with the world, but sadly the baby became sick and died. They never recovered from their loss and eventually this shock led them to insanity.

[Man and Woman]
To my heart you're all that's true and I know
I won't give up on you!
loving you, oh it's all that I can do and I know
you're all I'm living for

[Storyteller]
Anger
Madness

6. Valiant Ride

[Alron]
Here we are, this little army
will defeat the evil Sendor
he lives on an island on the Dead Sea
in a castle of horror and grief

Down the hill there is a cabin
there we'll find an old mad man
he will give us the map to where we must go
in exchange for a quail and a boar

Hurry my friends there's no time to hesitate

Now the map is leadin' our way
to a pier where there's a raft
and a small piece of wood to use as an oar
oh get ready to row to the sea

We're on board, the water's smelly
it's like all the fish are rotten
the waves hit the old tub making us sway
and it is also starting to rain

Hurry my friends there's no time to hesitate

[The Group]
For as long as we know how to use our weapons
there's nothing that can destroy our force
For as long as we know how to stay together
there's no man or demon that can frighten us!

[Storyteller]
Approaching the shore
Thunders, bolts, raging wind and pouring rain
short earthquakes shake the ground beneath their feet

[Shena]
This place is hell
how can someone live here?
It's a place with no soul
it's a place of despair

I wonder how a man can cope with this loneliness
it is way too much
ever for the darkerst sinner

[The Group]
For as long as we know how to use our weapons
there's nothing that can destroy our force
For as long as we know how to stay together
there's no man or demon that can frighten us!

7. Dinanzi Al Flagello

Luna piena nella notte giungera la nostra sorte
Ideali di un passato che ormai e dimenticato
Nulla incontrera la morte!
Luna piena nella notte giungera la nostra sorte

Ideali di un passato che ormai e dimenticato
Vita nostra
E rituona incalzante il terrore nella mente
Ora cambiera
Lui morira

Siam dinanzi al flagello che il destino ha in serbo
E rituona incalzante il terrore nella mente
Ideali di un passato
Che ormai e dimenticato

[Translation from Itialian:]

Full moon in the night
Our fate will come
Ideals of a past
that now is forgotten
Nothing will meet death
Full moon in the night
Our fate will come

Ideals of a past
that now is forgotten
Life of ours
And terror thounders
persistingly in the mind
Now it'll change
He is going to die

We're before the scourge
destiny preserved for us
And terror thounders
persistingly in the mind
Ideals of a past
that now is forgotten

8. Soulless Child

[Sendor]
Welcome my guests, I've been waiting
for so long for this fine day to come
it's a pleasure to finally meet you
Come here Dorus and join me my son

Woman I'm talking to you now
I guess you never told 'em the truth
there was something so slightly familiar
in the boy that was walking with you

[Shena]
Of course no I never told 'em
my lil' boy had died in my arms
as much as I hate to say it
he will never come back

[Sendor]
Shena you're wrong you could've saved him
oh if only you weren't so blind
with your magic you could've resurrect him
and by now we'd be living just fine

[Shena]
It was pointless using my magic
you know it can't bring back the soul
there's nothing able to do that
not even that crystal sword

[The Kings]
Now we can see you're devoured by sorrow
and your intentions were good somehow
but you don't know the power of that sword
you'll soon be overwhelmed

[Sendor]
When a man loses his love
and a disease takes his child away
there is no way to fill the void
his heart constricts in endless pain

[Storyteller]
And so he did it by himself
he tried a ritual from ancient myths
walked through the graveyard, with tears in his eyes
knelt on the tomb and then brought him to life

Even though he had lost his love
he had his son back but with no soul
his look is empty he's like a toy
he hugs him and then they disappear

sixteen years later Sendor's back
he has come up with a cunning plan
takes control over his marionette
and sends him to Daltor
He will say that he had found the sword
and is ready to unleash a war
the four kings will gather and prepare
to go and face the menace

[Sendor]
Woman I'm talking to you now
I guess you never told 'em the truth
there was something so slightly familiar
in the boy that was walking with you

[Shena]
Of course no I never told 'em
my lil' boy had died in my arms
as much as I hate to say it, he will never come back

[The Kings]
Now we can see you're devoured by sorrow
and your intentions were good somehow
but you don't know the power of that sword
you'll soon be overwhelmed

[Sendor]
When a man loses his love
and a disease takes his child away
there is no way to fill the void
his heart constricts in endless pain

[Storyteller]
And so he did it by himself
he tried a ritual from ancient myths
walked through the graveyard
with tears in his eyes
knelt on the tomb
and then, then he brought him to life
'cause he felt it was good
'cause he felt it was right
he never thought he was going off track
and decieving himself

the heroes now are getting tired
this went too far, this has to end
the wizard's mad, they launch their attack

As soon as they get close
a light shines from behind him
now the chest is open, he grabs the sword

9. Through My Veins

[Shena]
The battle wages on as cruel as it can be
swords slashing on the shields make sparks that fill the air
no holds barred here I nearly lost my ring
my friends are on the ground it's time for me to hit

[Sendor]
My arms get stronger and stronger
with every breath I take
I feel the power of this sword
through my veins

A god is growing inside me
it feeds my every cell
I feel the power of this sword
through my veins

[The Group]
Oh how he blows us away!
Oh how he makes us fall!
We can't last for long
we are on our knees!

What a perfect chance for us to be
the glorious kings the world needs
Let's fight him back
fight him 'til death!

[Sendor]
Come on, show me what you've got!

[Alron]
King Rahed has lost his senses, Shena takes her turn
she thinks that killing Sendor will mend her broken heart
My rod's powerless, I don't know what to do
I hope that he won't hurt the woman he once loved

[Sendor]
My arms get stronger and stronger
with every breath I take
I feel the power of this sword
through my veins

A god is growing inside me
it feeds my every cell
I feel the power of this sword
through my veins

[The Group]
Oh how he blows us away!
Oh how he makes us fall!
We can't last for long
we are on our knees!

What a perfect chance for us to be
the glorious kings the world needs
Let's fight him back
fight him 'til death!

[Sendor]
Come on, show me what you've got!

[Storyteller]
Sendor screaming out like a demon
strikes them showing no mercy
full of hatred and endless fury
he's turned into a monster
scattered fragments of glass
bodies lying on the stairs

[Shena]
The battle wages on as cruel as it can be
swords slashing on the shields make sparks that fill the air
no holds barred here I nearly lost my ring
my friends are on the ground it's time for me to hit

[Sendor]
My arms get stronger and stronger
with every breath I take
I feel the power of this sword
through my veins

A god is growing inside me
it feeds my every cell
I feel the power of this sword
through my veins

[The Group]
Oh how he blows us away!
Oh how he makes us fall!
We can't last for long
we are on our knees!

What a perfect chance for us to be
the glorious kings the world needs
Let's fight him back
fight him 'til death!

[Sendor]
Come on, show me what you've got!

[Storyteller]
Sendor screaming out like a demon
strikes them showing no mercy
full of hatred and endless fury
he's turned into a monster

10. Hope Dies Last

[Storyteller]
Valiant knights laying still on the floor
this is how this tragic story goes

Bravery sometimes is not enough
when you're faced with darkness itself

In the end Sendor couldn't be stopped
now his plan is complete
he can bring back on his own
the sweet treasure he's lost
for a father's love can go
all the way

The evil wizard
puts a spell on Dorus
but his soul won't come back

[Sendor]
Silence reigns in the ghostly halls
even the owls speak no more

All is calm and the feel is surreal
but inside I have a restless heart

[Storyteller]
In the end Sendor couldn't be stopped
now his plan is complete
he can bring back on his own
the sweet treasure he's lost
for a father's love can go
all the way

The evil wizard puts a spell on Dorus
but his soul won't come back
The evil wizard tries all over again
but his soul won't come back

Anger and pain
drove him insane
he will kill
the defenceless kings
but as he goes for them
a windowpane break
she turns around
and Daltor is there!

[Daltor]
You see I'm here
your magic tricks are
nothing compared
to my dexterity in the art
of training dragons like this one
you see I'm here
the game is over
you will regret
you will repent even thinking
of stealing that cursed crystal sword

[Storyteller]
Daltor's shaken
by what he sees before him
tired of fighting
but now he's ready once again

[Daltor]
Look what you've done
these people are good
they don't deserve to die this way
from the hand of
a miserable filthy coward man

Look what you've done
you crazy monster
how could you be so cruel and cold
to hurt so bad
a lady so fair and fragile

[Storyteller]
Daltor's shaken
by what he sees before him
tired of fighting
but now he's ready once again
to start another round

[Sendor]
Alright now I've had enough
I see you seem to know it all
if you don't mind we could draw our swords
and solve this thing as men!

[Storyteller]
When all hope seemed to be gone a light came through the dark. Daltor on the back ofthe guardian dragon broke through the windows of the castle landing behind Sendor. Seeing the kings and Dorus lying unconcious on the ground he took back his Silver Sword. Sendor's look is full of hatred and pain, the magic sword has made him furious. A long and intense battle is about to begin…

[Daltor]
Raise the sword!
For the glory and peace, let the fight begin!
