DRAGONFORCE LYRICS

1. Reaching Into Infinity

[Instrumental]

2. Ashes Of The Dawn

Trapped in this maze of existence entombed by misery,
I was blinded by my fears
Lost in the dark through the shadows I heard you scream my name
Oh help me, please, out of this nightmare!

All my life I've been playing with fire,
set me free that's my only desire

The time has come for me,
The time to overcome and do what is right for the world to see
And from the ashes of the dawn I arise

The time has come for me,
The time to overcome and do what is right for the world to see
And from the ashes of the dawn I arise

Fear deep inside, is it madness that fueled my ecstasy
Now I'm drowning in my sorrows
Lord answer my prayers, lost in despair, is this the end?
Breaking the silence so real, we'll make it together

All my dreams have been torn to pieces
Hear the screams of my eternal pain

The time has come for me,
The time to overcome and do what is right for the world to see
And from the ashes of the dawn I arise

The time has come for me,
The time to overcome and do what is right for the world to see
And from the ashes of the dawn I arise

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Solo: Sam/Herman]

I have seen the sorrow in your eyes
How I wish I'd made things better,
Find the strength to leave the past behind,
Just one more time, we'll live again

The time has come for me,
The time to overcome and do what is right for the world to see
And from the ashes of the dawn I arise

The time has come for me,
The time to overcome and do what is right for the world to see
And from the ashes of the dawn I arise

Forever!

3. Judgement Day

I feel the magic burning deep inside of me
No one can change the path of our true destiny

Don't be ashamed about the way we are
Another life awaits beyond the stars
We're calling
We're falling

A flood of passion now, I feel the urge in me
A generation shamed by all reality

But now this life's a raging battlefield
Though one day soon the truth will be revealed
The final judgment day

Riding on the wings of time
Feel the fire from the sky
Hold the power deep inside
Not afraid to die
We are the masters of the universe
On we ride towards the sign
Where the revelation hides
We're the guardians of the light
'Til the end of time
Until we see the last sunrise
And set the world on fire tonight

Forever walking, cold inside and all alone
A raging thunder far beyond our icy home

We close our eyes and feel the tears so cold
The ghosts of vengeance of the barren souls
Our one true judgment day

Riding on the wings of time
Feel the fire from the sky
Hold the power deep inside
Not afraid to die
We are the masters of the universe
On we ride towards the sign
Where the revelation hides
We're the guardians of the light
'Til the end of time
Until we see the last sunrise
And set the world on fire tonight

We reached for the moon
We conquered the stars
We cried for the tears of yesterday

Still strong to the end
'Til we'll meet again
Remember the glory of the brave

We stand at the dawn
Our kingdom reborn
And wait for the sun to rise again
A light in the sky
So free and so wild
A light from our last eternal flame

4. Astral Empire

Hear the cries of war
At the break of dawn
See the evil spread disease and fear to all

Through the centuries
Blood shall be the key
Now a leader of our destiny

As his army rose
Crushing endless foes
From the battle he will rain fires of hell from the sky

Bringer of the fire
For the great empire
Rising power of the fallen warriors' souls

Steel crushing steel, see the great fire descend from the sky
Never surrender, one day we'll be free
Flee from the swarm, through the forces of terror
No sacrifice 'til the end

Fly far away through the raging storm
'Til the end with the rise of the sun
On the winds rising higher through our astral empire
Break the chains, now this war shall be won

Hunting down their prey
From beyond the grave
Crush them into dust, a life of worthless slaves

Soon the world will see
Evil prophecy
Now we shall avenge a thousand warriors' souls

Now dark knowledge is mine
Voices inside
Witness the fall for the last time

Black is the power
Now is the hour to decide
Once more to

Fly far away through the raging storm
'Til the end with the rise of the sun
On the winds rising higher through our astral empire
Break the chains, now this war shall be won

Now dark knowledge is mine
Voices inside
Witness the fall for the last time

Black is the power
Now is the hour to decide
Once more to

Fly far away through the raging storm
'Til the end with the rise of the sun
On the winds rising higher through our astral empire
Break the chains, now this war shall be won

5. Curse Of Darkness

Here I stand, no one will ever ease my pain, blood is the answer
Until the end, I fight for my life and I never will surrender
Vengeance is mine, driven by sorrow and eternal hatred
Blood legacy, hear my endless cries

Shattered dreams, I am a shadow of the man I used to be
But I know tonight, your pain will be my delight
Hear the symphony from the score of the damned
Unleashing the eternal fire

Ride on your way, this is your curse of darkness
Ride through the night and one day you'll be free
Look to the sky where our hope's burning bright
Hear the laments of innocence rise

All alone, I am lost in the maze of this aeonian nightmare
Torn within, bound to suffer 'til I die
For centuries, just like the king of Ephira trapped for eternity
Haunted soul, I have the force to slay your kind

Ride on your way, this is your curse of darkness
Ride through the night and one day you'll be free
Look to the sky where our hope's burning bright
Hear the laments of innocence rise

As I look to the stars, I feel your presence in my heart
How I wish I could hear your voice again
Like my tears in the night, your memory still shining bright
On this lonely road I ride
Wandering... through the circles of Hell

Ride on your way, this is your curse of darkness
Ride through the night and one day you'll be free
Look to the sky where our hope's burning bright
Hear the laments of innocence rise

6. Silence

Silence, here in the sunset of my life
I've been walking through the darkness
With your ghost by my side
How I've tried, but can never stop the pain I feel
I have tried so hard but the wounds never heal

Now the time has come for our last goodbye
As I raise my head and gaze up to the skies
I have tried in vain but this is the end
We will meet again
I will be again

Mother, these are the final words I'll write
I know they're full of sadness, I know they'll make you cry
How I've tried to hide the truth of my despair
The sadness kept on calling, drowning out my prayers

There's no place for me, I'm torn apart
And I wish I could have made things better

Now the time has come for our last goodbye
As I raise my head and gaze up to the skies
I have tried in vain but this is the end
We will meet again
I will be again

There's no place for me, and deep inside
This pain won't last forever

Now the time has come for our last goodbye
As I raise my head and gaze up to the skies
I have tried in vain but this is the end
We will meet again
I will be again

7. Midnight Madness

March on the fire in the sky
Live now, tomorrow we may die
Stand strong, desire to survive
'Til the end of time

No more, you'll never walk alone
Starlight will guide us to our home
Reborn, the sands of time are sown
'Til we claim our throne

Aggravation, termination
Generations in starvation
Mass salvation of the nation now

We will fly tonight towards the angels
See our stars shine bright into the sky
We will stand tonight and live forever
We're the masters of the stars and of all time

We will fly tonight towards the angels
See our stars shine bright into the sky
And we will stand tonight and live forever
We're the masters of the stars and of all time

Dark clouds, the symphony of war
Stare now into the crystal ball
Stay strong and face the winter storm
'Til the final call

Strike now, the power from within
Hunt down and crush them for their sins
This time the battle we will win
So it now begins

Suffocation, desperation
From sedation to predation
Blind destruction of creation now

We will fly tonight towards the angels
See our stars shine bright into the sky
We will stand tonight and live forever
We're the masters of the stars and of all time

We will fly tonight towards the angels
See our stars shine bright into the sky
And we will stand tonight and live forever
We're the masters of the stars and of all time

Once lost but now we're free
To the night we hold the key
Silently we wait the last command

Guardians of space and time
To the mountain we must climb
At the gates of glory we now stand
For the final stand

We will fly tonight towards the angels
See our stars shine bright into the sky
We will stand tonight and live forever
We're the masters of the stars and of all time

We will fly tonight towards the angels
See our stars shine bright into the sky
And we will stand tonight and live forever
We're the masters of the stars and of all time

8. War!

Appearing out of nowhere you came into my life
And took control before I realized
I remember clearly the things you used to say
But now I see the truth behind your lies

I try to make you listen, I try to make you see
It's nothing but a total waste of time
You think you know better, and do what you do best
You love to bring us down, but now it's time you listen

Caught by the winds of the fury within
Leading slowly to your own demise
Why don't you see that you are your worst enemy?
And that fight must come to an end

War
Now this is war
Straight from the core
Hear the wrath and the thunder

War
Now this is war
Straight from the core
Punishment from the skies

War
Now this is war
Straight from the core
I will crush your empire

War
Now this is war
Straight from the core
Empire of disguise

Blinded and deluded
You think you've seen it all
You think you're always right and can't be wrong
Poisonous and selfish
You cannot face the truth
And blame the world for your pathetic life
You lie, you cheat, you backstab, and you're completely fake
Relying on a fragile house of cards
You always point the finger
How easy must it be?
To spend your life blindfolded and disguised

Caught by the winds of the fury within
Leading slowly to your own demise
Why don't you see that you are your worst enemy?
And that fight must come to an end

War
Now this is war
Straight from the core
Hear the wrath and the thunder

War
Now this is war
Straight from the core
Punishment from the skies

War
Now this is war
Straight from the core
I will crush your empire

War
Now this is war
Straight from the core
Empire of disguise

For so many tears, for so many lies
For so many prophecies never fulfilled
I promise you now, you'll pay for your crimes
It ends tonight

Now this is war
We won't take it anymore
Now this is war
Now this is war

Now this is war
We won't take it anymore
Now this is war
Now this is war

Now this is war
Now this is war
Now this is war
Now this is war
War
War
War
War

Appearing out of nowhere you came into my life
And took control before I realized
I remember clearly the things you used to say
But now I see the truth behind your lies

Now listen

Caught by the winds of the fury within
Leading slowly to your own demise
Why don't you see that you are your worst enemy?
And that fight must come to an end

War
Now this is war
Straight from the core
Hear the wrath and the thunder

War
Now this is war
Straight from the core
Punishment from the skies

War
Now this is war
Straight from the core
I will crush your empire

War
Now this is war
Straight from the core
Empire of disguise

9. Land Of Shattered Dreams

Can you imagine your life?
Desolate, detached, and all alone
Your best friend is your desperation
In a world of unbelievers, how are we to keep our dreams alive?
Sometimes escape seems like the answer

Take one last chance
A chance to start it over
Somewhere, somehow
A place we all belong

Within this land of shattered dreams
Where the days seem never-ending
Can you ask yourself tonight what it means?
Can we really leave this world behind?
For just a moment in a lifetime
And a chance to be free
From all reality

Who said that what we all see
Is exactly what we must believe?
Sometimes it's hard to know the difference
In a world of mass illusion
Who are we to question what is real
Sometimes it feels like mass confusion

Take one last chance
A chance to start it over
Somewhere, somehow
A place we all belong

Within this land of shattered dreams
Where the days seem never-ending
Can you ask yourself tonight what it means?
Can we really leave this world behind?
For just a moment in a lifetime
And a chance to be free
From all reality

Take one last chance
A chance to start it over
Somewhere, somehow
A place we all belong

Within this land of shattered dreams
Where the days seem never-ending
Can you ask yourself tonight what it means?
Can we really leave this world behind?
For just a moment in a lifetime
And a chance to be free
From all reality

10. The Edge Of The World

In times of fear and mystery, when the gods had ruled the earth
Sound the bells of victory
The sign of our rebirth
How many died in vain, like waves against the shore
No one hears their whispers anymore

Lost, like the hope in the battle we fought
Through the cold and the rain
Gone, like the years in the shadows and pain, unknown

I've seen through the eyes of the dead
And suffered for them time and again
Granted with immortality
The price for the savior of humanity

Rise from the ashes of mankind
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world

Long, is the journey, oh, long is the road
As the sun rises over the world
The quest is hard 'til the battle can end
But I have the power in my hands

I've seen through the eyes of the dead
And suffered for them time and again
Granted with immortality
The price for the savior of humanity

Rise from the ashes of mankind
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world

Honor, the god of Enlil
Silence for the beast is now the prey
Denied a chance for life
I take back that what is mine
Die

Wrath, we rule the skies
May the rain cleanse and wash away
Imperfect, these creations of mine
Corrupted by greed, they shall pay

Chosen, saved from death's embrace

One last chance for man to change his ways
Deified, a place amongst the gods
Saved from mankind's own demise

Rise from the ashes of mankind
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world

From the ashes of mankind
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world

At the end of the journey for the savior of the earth
Sound the bells of victory through the signs of our rebirth
As the shadows fade away, we watch the new sun rise
No one fears the darkness anymore

11. Our Final Stand

Time, for so many years we have wandered
Lost in the still of the night, ready to fight
Burning steel agony revealed
A quest to reconquer our land

Marching north, showing no remorse
Our destiny caught in our hands

And one day we will be free again
One more time we will be free again
And we'll break the chains
That bound us and tore us apart

Cry, under the gaze of the moonlight
And blood-red skies
The deafening silence of anguish
Becoming mine

Straight ahead, rising from the dead
An army of relentless souls
We must hold, through the northern cold
We'll fight them until the end

Cleansed by the tears of the fallen
Echoing fears of the warriors
Honor and glory will comfort us all
Living alone, dying alone, we make our final stand

Cleansed by the tears of the fallen
Echoing fears of the warriors
Honor and glory will comfort us all
Living alone, dying alone, we gotta make a final stand

Cleansed by the tears of the fallen
Echoing fears of the warriors
Honor and glory will comfort us all
Living alone, dying alone, we make our final stand

12. Hatred And Revenge

[Bonus Track]

I saw the ravens in the distant sky
I searched the mountains for the eternal fire
I fought the dragon through the sands of time
We race through the wind, to glory ride

We cross the valley to the distant sun
We feel the power, our revenge is sworn
We crushed the cities and the war is won
The fire in our soul, we're standing strong

Kingdom
Calling
Raise the cannons of war

Ride from the mountains and rise from the seas
Steel of the warriors, you bow to your knees
Sail through the darkness, the true prophecy
Cursed is the night in the sea of dreams

Ride from the mountains and rise from the seas
Steel of the warriors, you bow to your knees
Sail through the darkness, the true prophecy
Cursed is the night in the sea of dreams

A blaze of light beyond the eastern sky
This dance of doom towards the ivory tower
A vengeful death awaits for all this time
The judgment has passed, we all now die

A maze of torment for a thousand souls
The unseen fury of the ancient scrolls
The years of torture that had been foretold
A lifetime of fear they now behold

Kingdom
Calling
Raise the cannons of war

Ride from the mountains and rise from the seas
Steel of the warriors, you bow to your knees
Sail through the darkness, the true prophecy
Cursed is the night in the sea of dreams

Ride from the mountains and rise from the seas
Steel of the warriors, you bow to your knees
Sail through the darkness, the true prophecy
Cursed is the night in the sea of dreams

I saw the ravens in the distant sky
I searched the mountains for the eternal fire
I fought the dragon through the sands of time
We race through the wind, to glory ride

Kingdom
Calling
Raise the cannons of war

Ride from the mountains and rise from the seas
Steel of the warriors, you bow to your knees
Sail through the darkness, the true prophecy
Cursed is the night in the sea of dreams

Ride from the mountains and rise from the seas
Steel of the warriors, you bow to your knees
Sail through the darkness, the true prophecy
Cursed is the night in the sea of dreams

13. Evil Dead

[Bonus Track]
[originally by Death]

Trapped inside
A life is not yours
Spirits within
Causing terror, fear, and darkness

Evil dead
Evil dead

Voice speaks out
All will die tonight
Insanity
Fills your mind, you hear them call

Evil dead
Evil dead

Covered in blood
All hope is lost
Forever to rot
Controlled by the powers of the

Evil dead
Evil dead

Evil dead
Evil dead

14. Gloria

[Bonus Track]
[originally by ZIGGY]

As I stared at the clouds I could see a vision of you
I could see my desire was still uncertain but still so true
Still I long to believe there will soon be a brighter day
Underneath this disguise still I walk through the pouring rain

I wanna make it tonight
Owaranai yoru ni
You have no need now to cry
Owaranai merodii wo

So tonight I will send you my own endless melody
But the time passes by and I can't stop the lies it seems
Still I wait for you now, living life on a broken dream
Cannot hide the frustration inside, now I'm on my knees

I wanna make it tonight
Owaranai yoru ni
You have no need now to cry
Owaranai merodii wo

Gloria, I need your love
Omae no atsui heart de hold me tight
Lonely night mou nidoto misenai de
Gloria

I wanna make it tonight
Owaranai yoru ni
You have no need now to cry
Owaranai merodii wo

Gloria, I need your love
Omae no atsui heart de hold me tight
Lonely night mou nidoto misenai de
Gloria
