RHAPSODY OF FIRE LYRICS

1. Abyss Of Pain

[Instrumental]

2. Seven Heroic Deeds

Sic est, amen
Prison of fire, burning in Hell
Infernal choirs whisper a spell
The reign of the demons is craving for blood
Ain't no place for heroes, ain't no place for God

Pain is so deep that I'll fight 'til the end of time

Hey nameless creature beware of my sword!
Why do you crave for my bloody soul?
"Cause I can redeem you... Ans this the deal:
Seven heroic deeds... Just take it or leave"

Now there's no choice: I will sign and I'll serve you

Tenebrarum, miserere
Ex vocaci miserere!

I will ride flames of destiny
Rise to conquer the world
I'll break these chains
My will can change my fate

Tenebrarum, miserere
Ex vocaci

Tenebrarum, miserere
Ex vocaci miserere!

I will ride flames of destiny
Rise to conquer the world
I'll break these chains
My will can change my fate
Oh God

Tenebrarum, miserere
Ex vocaci miserere!

Tenebrarum (fera, bellum, homo)
Miserere (genus, corpus, ade)
Ex vocaci (ignis, corpus, ade)
Miserere (vitae, bellus, mortem)

3. Master Of Peace

Warriors fighting
A thrill made of iron and steel
Charging horses
It's a never ending wheel

Due to my orders
A thousand lives are gone

Screaming louder from the cliff
I feel as a master of peace
But I can't face what I see what I feel
How to find my bliss?

Oh God I promised
We would go to war

The hills, the grass, the trees
Are slowly turning red
Forever and ever
These fields will taste of our blood

Father, forgive me 'cause I have no regrets
No complaints

Fifty thousand lost fallen souls
The victory needs sacrifice
And both of the armies have lost their half or more
I can't pay the price

Oh God I promised
We would go to war

The hills, the grass, the trees
Are slowly turning red
Forever and ever
These fields will taste of our blood

Father, forgive me 'cause I have no regrets
No complaints

All victories have a price

The hills, the grass, the trees
Are slowly turning red
Forever and ever
These fields will taste of our blood

Father, forgive me 'cause I have no regrets
No complaints

I got no regrets
No more

Oh God
No more

4. Rain Of Fury

Eyes that shine in the spell of the night
Smart and dark he was born just to fight
Fear and pain that remains when it's cold

Arch-rival king of the mighty untold

With the shield on my left and the shiny gold sword
With the power of magic to fight the warlord

"Rain of fury" my blade, like wings in the mist
Hold my breath in the shade, both my hands on the hilt
Thousand sparkles collide, igniting the cave
There's nowhere to hide: I'm the valorous, the brave!

Broken the silence, the rite has begun
Strong words that burn like the flames of the sun
Fear and pain that remains when it's cold
The archival king of the mighty untold

With the will on my side I'll get the prize that I deserve
With the power of God I'll have his head, I have the nerve

"Rain of fury" my blade, like wings in the mist
Hold my breath in the shade, both my hands on the hilt
Thousand sparkles collide, igniting the cave
There's nowhere to hide: I'm the valorous, the brave!

"Rain of fury" my blade, like wings in the mist
Hold my breath in the shade, both my hands on the hilt
Thousand sparkles collide, igniting the cave
There's nowhere to hide: I'm the valorous, the brave!
The brave!

5. White Wizard

His voice can give comfort when you're down
Its sound strokes your hair like a breeze
His voice could warm the coldest places
The wise man still lives in our hearts

Still he cures memories
Still he builds stone castles
World's not the same right after you're gone

White wizard, your wisdom will exceed this time forevermore
White wizard now watch over us, guide our souls
You have seen dark future storms

From ashes to ashes the life still goes on
But God knows we miss you as well
From dust to dust the world goes on
We all wait for the rightful heir

Will he cure sickness?
Will he build new temples?
A warlock will come, as you, times before

White wizard, your wisdom will exceed this time forevermore
White wizard now watch over us, guide our souls
You have seen dark future storms

Who now fights for the righteous and the poor?
Serpents of evil emerge from the dark so... we need your help!

White wizard, your wisdom will exceed this time forevermore
White wizard now watch over us, guide our souls
You have seen dark future storms
Future storms...

6. Warrior Heart

Once more battle, (I) think it's my last stand
A lost soul is begging me raising his poor flickering hand

Should I not care for his silent cry? The honor, at least, will prevail
We've never been friends but I won't close my eyes: we lost our family to serve our flag

Under the steel of my enemy's armor is beating the same warrior heart
And though we both know how to kill without fear... we don't care if the world falls apart
And once in a while you will see me cry

Silence is everywhere, cold: the voices of death
Even the birds forgot how to sing
Struggling for one last breath

How could I be so disgustingly blind? Emotions are always the same
We've grown up apart, we lived separate worlds but... day and night live together and tamed

Under the steel of my enemy's armor is beating the same warrior heart
And though we both know how to kill without fear... we don't care if the world falls apart
And once in a while you will see me cry 'cause...
Under the steel there's a hero like me who is sharing the same warrior heart
I know we belong to this world full of fear, face to face with the scars you can't hide
And once in a while there's no shame in tears

7. The Courage To Forgive

(Ten... years... by... since... gone... I... hate... what...)
(Did... to my life... to my soul... father, why... you, father)

Ten years gone by since you've gone and I still hate what you did to my life to my soul. Father, why? Why...

Ten years you wasted to shape your own son, to grow the perfect warrior
Ten stones on my back are crushing my bones, they're bending my spine
I'll get over it: I'll destroy my hate

Hard is the path when the memory makes you grieve
Painful, the memories are painful like a wound
Leave the past behind, find the courage to forgive
Painful, the memories are painful.
It's your duty, the contract says, "You have to forgive."

(Shades... dark... war... shield... sword... years... age... child...)
(Friends... and my hands... made to play... father, why... you, father)

Shadows of the war, a shield, a sword: despite my young age they were my close friends
Despite my hands were made to play, I learned how to kill... but why?

Life is a labyrinth of chances and leaps of faith, an endless dreaming
Maybe I wouldn't become brave like you, as strong as you were
I'll try to forget: I'll destroy my hate

Hard is the path when the memory makes you grieve
Painful, the memories are painful like a wound
Leave the past behind, find the courage to forgive
Painful, the memories are painful.
It's your duty, the contract says, "You have to forgive."

All the stars can't ignite the dark
I will burn my anger just to see the light, to rise again

Hard is the path when the memory makes you grieve
Painful, the memories are painful like a wound
Leave the past behind, find the courage to forgive
Painful, the memories are painful.
It's your duty, the contract says, "You have to forgive."

8. March Against The Tyrant

Look at the dawn, shining clouds and mountains
The cold morning wind makes me tear and think of you

Let me breathe it once more this time without chains
Let me feel once more how much life you have on your lips
...So kiss me

Look at the dawn, it could be the last time... The march has begun
Gates of steel and gold... The tyrant of Konstrukts this evening will fall
Unrightful King of the throne, the Nephilim's henchman will pay for all
691 sons were killed without mercy so... justice will come!

Trust in me as a leader, don't be afraid
We will march for brothers and sisters murdered
Trust in me: together we'll win!
Oculus domini, nobili animo

Freedom for the brave, hand-to-hand's what we crave
Ridin' for the land so these rocks will turn to sand
The tales will recall this glorious day

We struck evil guardians, they were flying blind
The only chance to break through the walls
Rain made of arrows and stones
Our shields were enchained, unbreakable chrome

Trust in me as your leader so we won't fail
We will march, the traitors tonight will dine in Hell
You'll see: together we'll win!
Oculus domini, nobili animo

Freedom for the brave, hand-to-hand's what we crave
Ridin' for the land so these rocks will turn to sand
The tales will recall this glorious day

When all seems so lost
The will can change your hope

A warrior I know from the east now is coming
He'll help us 'cause I spared his life
Like earthquake and storm we will scorch all this earth
And together we'll push deep the knife
The tyrant tonight surely dies

So the fortress is burning and the wine will flow with the songs
So raise your sword: the tyrant tonight will dine in Hell
Let's play the bells, let the world know we won, we're free!
Oculus domini, nobili animo

Freedom for the brave, hand-to-hand's what we crave
Ridin' for the land so these rocks will turn to sand
Freedom for a world where oppression and pain
Are just forgotten words of the Nephilim's empire
The tales will recall this glorious day

9. Clash Of Times

Mountains of bones and skulls in the sand
The death in this place never ends
Where are the hills, rivers and fields?
The desert is cruel indeed

Oh how much pain I feel... Could I believe this is real?
Oh what's the use of fame? My efforts would all be in vain

Life still continues for a hundred lost souls
But thirst will transform them to ghouls
Even a king can fall from his throne
If rain is an old memory gone

Lord won't you care for them? This omen was foretold for men
Lord I won't take your place (but) I'm here for the entire human race

Here comes the water, the magic from the sky
Rain is worth my sacrifice
Here comes the water to melt what's petrified
To wash away the clash of times

Lord I won't take your place, but magic will help the human race

Here comes the water, the magic from the sky
Rain is worth my sacrifice
Here comes the water to melt what's petrified
To wash away the clash of times

Wash away the clash of times!

10. The Legend Goes On

Still the legend goes on and on...

I cast a spell and I've seen
Pieces of the future unveiled
Green are the valleys where I belong
I've seen the mountain still shining

People are dreaming
Singing a song
The ghost of war
Has disappeared

There were eagles flying in the sky
Over fields of gold
The kingdom of the magic
Reaching for the land for the dream
Stories still untold
Still the legend goes on and on

I've seen...

This night will soon be gone
Here comes the dawn
My contract will be up
I'll be free

No more revenge or darkness to heal
The orchards will all be in blossom
Love of my life is healthy and real
The ghost of war has disappeared

There were eagles flying in the sky
Over fields of gold
The kingdom of the magic
Reaching for the land for the dream
Stories still untold
Still the legend goes on and on

I've seen...

There were eagles flying in the sky
Over fields of gold
The kingdom of the magic
Reaching for the land for the dream
Stories still untold
Still the legend goes on and on

I've seen...
Finally I've seen...

11. The Wind, The Rain And The Moon

Your shining eyes
I saw them cry
That's what heroes live for
Love embrace the pain
Fate unpredictable
A shadow between me and you

I'll be the wind to caress your skin
I'll be the rain to enclose your tears
I'll be the moon to enlight your darkest night
So you won't be alone

Streams slowly flowing
Tears on your cheeks
I'll come back, I promise
This night, my love, I'm yours
Your tiny hands in mine
They talk much more than words can say

I'll be the wind to caress your skin
I'll be the rain to enclose your tears
I'll be the moon to enlight your darkest night
So you won't be alone, no more
I'll be back before the snowfall
My fate cries out
I'll win this war for you

I'll be the wind to caress your skin
I'll be the rain to enclose your tears
I'll be the moon to enlight your darkest night
So you won't be alone, no more
I'll be back before the snowfall
My fate cries out
I'll win this war for you

12. Tales Of A Hero's Fate

Kreel, vis, res, anime
Why?
Ego te absolvo, et anima libera (est)
Why?
Ignis et sanguis in tenebris vivit lux

I am digging in my dark old memories
Sometimes I think it's too late to redeem my soul
Pain and pleasure seem like one damn thing
I can't control my instincts I want more and more
I am lost

Nightmares from my past
This suffering came from the conscience
There's no escape from your penance
The tales of a hero's fate
It's hard to get over mind fields
You can't control inner instincts

Tales of a life full of blood and mistakes
This hero you see is a mask on my face
Shameless hiding
The scars now have taken the place

There's no gain just hate
This suffering came from the conscience
There's no escape from your penance
The tales of a hero's fate
It's hard to get over mind fields
You can't control inner instincts

Vividi sogni di oscure realtà

Mercy and agony: two halves, one burning soul
Hell walks beside me while Heaven sends his calling

The truth is so scary, mean cold and rough
Oh God please forgive me, I did it for love
Save my soul, you omniscient
You know I saved my dove

There's no gain just hate
This suffering came from the conscience
There's no escape from your penance
The tales of a hero's fate
It's hard to get over mind fields
You can't control inner instincts

Vividi sogni di oscure realtà

Mercy and agony: two halves, one burning soul
Hell walks beside me while Heaven sends his calling

Why am I here? Oh, what does this mean?
There's nothing right there's nothing wrong
I'll live forever damned... the tales of a hero's fate

Vividi sogni di oscure realtà

Mercy and agony: two halves, one burning soul
Hell walks beside me while Heaven sends his calling

Why?
Ego te absolvo, et anima libera (est)
Why?
Ignis et sanguis in tenebris vivit lux

In ages past, the Nephilim Empire ruled the Earth...
But they fell from grace
Once their slaves
Humanity rose up and defeated their gods
The Nephilim were purged from the Earth
And banished to the darkness
For centuries, they watched, and waited...
The Nephilim Empire would one day rise again
And, when they rose from the ashes
They formed an alliance with a highly-evolved race
Known as the Konstrukts
Together, they wiped out
Every last remnant of homo-sapiens DNA
Despite the genocide, the dream of humanity would rise...
Again
Time flows like a river, but there are many streams
The end of flesh is come before me
For the Empire is filled with violence and hatred
Behold I will destroy the empire and those within
I am become death, the destroyer of worlds

Lux, vis, res, is, lux, vita est
Nova vis, vita est, nova res, vita est nova
Ego revoco ad vitam, ad vitam, ad vitam... kreel
