BLIND GUARDIAN LYRICS

1. The Tides of War

Call the wind, I hail thee
We sail on through the storm
There's fire in my mind, fire in my mind,
Fire in my mind, fire in my mind

There's no escape
And there's no return
The blood that flows behind us
It's the world outside
Tears you might be crying
But it's over now
For a high cost we come
So just keep your hate alive

The tides of war (the tides of war)
We've come to face it in these lands
We've come to face it in these lands
The Curse of Feänor

No sorrow, no loss I count the ones behind
Come follow, don't turn your back and let them whine
The grief is real, the pain I feel
It's not what I've been longing for
They shall be free, they'll be released
They can't get over the sea

They were following in vain
Burning vessels, burning hope
Needless baggage on the road
Let them curse me, let them blame
They may have faced their journey's end

Boats at distant shore they burn
The wind still carries smoke
In Araman we've seen Teleri's work on fire
Across the ice, a flame
To take revenge, ashamed
Betrayed by the insane Feänor

You've come too far, you've come to fail
Feänor
All done in vain, by the oath
You delivered our doom

The tides of war (the tides of war)
We've come to face it in these lands
We've come to face it in these lands
The Curse of Feänor

Boats at distant shore they burn
The wind still carries smoke
In Araman we've seen Teleri's work on fire
Across the ice, a flame
To take revenge, ashamed
Betrayed by the insane Feänor

We've come too far, we've come to fail
Feänor
Yet we have reached the promised land
Of Feänor

The tides of war (the tides of war)
We've come to face it in these lands
We've come to face it in these lands
The Curse of Feänor

2. Lord Of The Rings (Live)

There are signs on the ring
Which make me feel so down
There's one to enslave all rings
To find them all in time
And drive them into darkness
Forever they'll be bound
Three for the Kings
Of the elves high in light
Nine to the mortal
Which cry
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
And there's no way out
Mordor
Dark land under Sauron's spell
Threatened a long time
Threatened a long time
Seven rings to the gnomes
In their halls made of stone
Into the valley
I feel down
One ring for the dark lord's hand
Sitting on his throne
In the land so dark
Where I've to go
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
Lord of the rings

3. Journey Through The Dark (Live)

Many songs I've written
About the things I saw
My inner soul's a wasteland
I can't run away from here
Try to find them
All the lost thoughts in my mind
I woke up on a hill
So many times before
Yesterday seems like a dream no more
Frozen memories laughing
They don't let me find the truth
Am I born to be a king
Or a jester of the fools
You're the mystical old bard
On your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark
I can't remember my name
I never knew how to find my home
I can't remember my name
Come tell me where will it end
I'm the chosen one
To perform all these things
But not for me
In illusions and reality
I'm on my journey through the dark
I'm on my journey through the dark
You're the mystical old bard
On your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark
I can't remember
Will I ever find myself
The distance is growing
My hope has gone away
A flash of light but nothing changes
When will it end
Which part of me remains
Soon I'll be back
On my ferryboat of tales
Where oblivion reigns
It will take all of me
You're the mystical old bard
On your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark

4. Majesty (Live)

Now the time has come for me to leave this land
Take my charge with pride sacrifice
Running and hiding I'm left for the time
To bring back the order of divine
Hunted by goblins no Gandalf to help
With swords in the night
Oh the last part of the game
Decision of death and life
Blood for Sauron they'll call tonight
The final battle cry
Running and hiding I'm left for the time
To bring back the order of divine
There exist no tales and hobbits are crying for all
Children of death
I have a dream the things you've to hide for
Deliver our kingdom and our Reich
Don't fall in panic just give me the thing
That I need or I kill
Don't run away for what have I done

Oh majesty your kingdom is lost
And you'll leave us behind
Oh majesty your kingdom is lost
And ruins…

5. The Bard's Song - In The Forest (Live)

Now you all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs
There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
No one should ask you for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And you're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain
In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close your eyes
You can see them too

6. Valhalla (Live)

High in the sky
Where eagles fly
Morgray the dark
Enters the throne
Open wide the gate, friend
The king will come
Blow the horn and praise
The highest Lord
Who'll bring the dawn
He's the new god
In the palace of steel
Persuade the fate of everyone
The chaos can begin
Let it in

[Lead: André]

So many centuries
So many gods
We were the prisoners of our own fantasy
But now we are marching
Against these gods
I'm the wizard, I will change it all

[Lead: André/Marcus]

Valhalla – deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me

Magic is in me
I'm the lost magic man
Never found what I was looking for
Now I found it but it's lost
The fortress burns
Broken my heart
I leave this world
All gods are gone
So many centuries
So many gods
We were the prisoners of our own fantasy
But then we had nothing
Who'll lead our life
No, no, we can't live
Without gods
