THE CLAYMORE LYRICS

1. Ancient Enemy

Back from sleep you will return
With powers from the deepest vaults
Black God, your time has come
You were mighty, you were strong
But mankind took your throne by storm
Take your revenge on them!

We need your salvation
Almighty angel of death
I praise you, adore you
Come down and salvage my soul

The ancient enemy
Black in mind, evil and cold at heart
Opens the seventh seal
Of his grave, rising to rule the world

I can feel how you awake
Black angels will return to earth
Ready to seal our fate
We inherited the world
from fathers who betrayed the lord
Now we will pay the price

The ancient enemy...

2. Arborlon

Ivory godess
This is my final quest for you
Lead me with your hands
Through all this pain, I feel so cold

Nightmares are rising
Demons in black they want my soul
My kingdoms fall down
A dream in a dream - my gargoyls crawl

Fly into darkness my dear
The end of my kingdom is near

Arborlon - Land of confusion
Arborlon - I'm lost in a dream
Arborlon - Land of the unborn
Arborlon - I'm lost in a dream

Trapped in a soulcage
Time after time I lose my mind
Lost in a desert
My soul is dead, please set me free

Alone with the damned child
I look in his eyes and see myself
Ivory godess
My hope is the end, I need your hand

Fly into darkness my dear...

Arborlon...

3. Tolerance Denied

Send a message to the ignorant at heart
Send aggression - I will tear your soul apart
Hear my warning - watch the shadow by your side
Feel my vengeance - hear the preacher in the night

Listen to my litany of hate
Listen to my voice deep in the silence of your heart
Listen to my litany of hate
Tolerance denied

Born of anger - left a legacy of pain
Trapped in evil - many victims killed in vain
Lost in silence - your opinion is a lie
Endless terror - for your ignorance you die

Listen to my litany of hate...

Show no mercy for the merciless at heart
I will take you to the border of your mind

Listen to my litany of hate...

4. The God Of Crows

Oh - deep in the silence I wait
I scream like a siren in the dark
I know, nobody cares who I am
I cry - my tears are burning my soul

Oh - deep in the silence I fight
My hope is like the dust in the wind
I send all the crows out to the world
I fly with wings of steel to the sun

The god of crows - eternal stranger
Look at my eyes to see the truth
The god of crows - the wings of terror
Look at my eyes to find yourself

Fight - in the name of blood
Born - in the time of doom
Die - in a storm of fire
Kill - on the seventh day

Oh - deep in the silence I sleep
My eyes are black like diamonds in the dawn
My words are like a shot in your heart
I scream like a thousand crows in the night

The god of crows - eternal stranger...

5. Evolution

We saw the Phoenix rising
Out of the ashes of time
Flying over broken memories
Watching the world with golden eyes

Walking through wasted landscapes
Turning the sands into gold
We are the newborn children
Raised in the ruins, we awake

Kingdoms fall, heroes rise
Sunset and dawn

One and all, we build a new tomorrow
For the children of a reborn world
One and all, we stand together
We’ve learned the lessons from the past and will succeed

Fragile the world we live in
Uncertain process of life
Hope is the motivation
To carry on living the dream

Kingdoms fall, heroes rise...

One and all, we build a new tomorrow...

6. Monumental

Far away from this world, my spirit rests in loneliness
Lost in this dimension, a victim of your ignorance
Without love I’m dying, like a foetus faced by fear
Deaf and blind I’m waiting for a dawn that never comes

Monument of fear - lying in memory
Monument of fear - follow my tears
Monument of fear - what is my destiny?
Monument of fear - is this the end?

Scornful masses haunt me
And I’m staring at the Gallows Tree on the hill
Surrounded by fools
An actor without audience
Like a puppet on a string I am hanging on
The winds of doom

Monument of fear - lying in memory
Monument of fear - fragments of youth

Monument of fear - lying in memory...

7. Claymore

In a dark place where the moon never sleeps
In a world full of hate and pain
We are waiting, we are ready to fight
We are warriors of blood and steel

Hail to the gods, in metal we trust
We are the only ones
Raising your hands into the sky
We're fighting side by side

Claymore - Sword made of steel
Claymore - Vengeance you feel
Claymore - In union we stand
Claymore - We're fight till the end

In the cold night, in the darkness we reign
In a place where the time stands still
Haunted by angels in the shadow of the moon
We are walking through blood and death

Hail to the gods, in metal we trust...

Claymore - Sword made of steel...

Trust in our might, we are the prophets
The Healer of the damned
This is our war, the battle's raging
The metal is on our side

Hail to the gods, in metal we trust...

Claymore - Sword made of steel...

8. Journey Through The Past

Wandering through the valley of dreams
Voices in my head
Mirror of undying sorrow
Take my pain away
You promised salvation
But you disappointed me once more

The season of childhood is over
The man is beating his fear

The past is over, don’t look back now
Together we live our dreams
Prepared for changes, taking chances
The innocent victim became a man

Wandering through the valley of tears
Yearning for revenge
Opening the gates to madness
Paralysed by fear
Surrounded by weakness
On the edge of sanity I wait

The season of childhood is over...

The past is over, don’t look back now
Together we live our dreams
Prepared for changes, taking chances
The innocent victim became a man
The future is in my hands
A step into the light

9. Element Of Hate

I hate you
The sins of your fathers are carved in stone
I'm your god
The god of all anger, corruption's my name

Follow me into the night
You will die, so watch your life

'cause I'm the element of hate,
The messenger of life, the throne of babylon
'cause I'm the sinner in the dark,
The fire in your mind, the element of hate

Trust in me
My machines will kill you, death without pain
Die for me
My heart's full of hate and I will live forever

Follow me into the night...

'cause I'm the element of hate...

Pray to me
The altars of madness are burning in hell
God of hate
My demons are waiting to brake down the walls

Follow me into the night...

'cause I'm the element of hate...

10. Beyond The Walls Of Tears

Lying on your grave tonight - Trapped within my sorrow
Staring to the stars above - Drowned in pain and sadness
A little light deep in the dark - The memories remain unheard
I miss the beauty of your eyes - The window to your soul

Between the beauty and the sadness
I will wait for you
Between the darkness and the light
I will hold your hand forever

Beyond the walls of tears - I’ll never feel your body next to mine
Beyond the walls of tears - I’ll never see the beauty of your smile
Beyond the walls of tears - I’ll never feel your lips on my skin
Beyond the walls of tears - I’ll never hear your voice, calling my name

Why couldn’t I protect your life? - Why couldn’t I prevent?
Lost your spirit in the flood - Never coming back again
Bleeding heart and wounded soul - My destiny is waiting here

Between the beauty and the sadness...

Beyond the walls of tears - I’ll never feel your body next to mine...

11. Dreamer In The Tower

I am walking through the fire
Endless hate reveals a state of sorrow. Save me!
I’m the dreamer in the tower
And I dream of wisdom in a heartless world

Tower of despondency
Keeps me caught leaves me praying
Here I wait for judgement day
Dream my dream of salvation

When I look in the mirror
I see a man without a past
Trapped in his world of anger
Caught in an endless state of grief
I’m on a search for wisdom
All that I found by now is pain
Where is the way to freedom?
Am I too weak to break the chain?

Sleepless lying in the shadow
In this cage I fell in love with madness, crying
Torn I’m waiting for some comfort
And I hide my tears in the eternal night

Tower of despondency...

When I look in the mirror...

Here I wait for judgement day
Dream my dream of salvation

When I look in the mirror...
