TWISTED TOWER DIRE LYRICS

1. Battle Cry

[Instrumental]

2. The Isle Of Hydra

Parting the waves of the dark unknown depths of the sea
Pointing our longboats on to the land of our dreams
Heeding the call of which I cannot evade
Face the wrath of the dragon of Hydra,
his fortune to claim

The battle's drawing nearer,
I'm sure he feels my presence
One shall be the victor,
and one shall fall

Out on the horizon, now coming clearer to view
The isle of Hydra, green on a blanket of blue
My pulse, it quickens, I know what danger lurks there
In the heart of the mountain of fire it must be his lair

Then in the span of ten heartbeats from out of the night
The thundering wings of the dragon returning from flight
The odour of ash and brimstone choking the room
We hide cloaked in darkness, awaiting the hour of Doom!

There's a calm just before the storm
A place that beckons to my soul
I'm blessed by the light
I'm strong for the fight
I will not be denied!

3. When The Daylight Fades

Shadows grow longer, my heart grows colder
Unsure of what the moonlight will bring

Feel the darkness falling, hear their voices calling
They're calling out my name, in the night their searching
Vengeance from the grave but my soul will be saved
When the daylight fades

Visions form a past like keep coming
Never to leave me in peace

Time holds the secrets, my mind knows the weakness
Pulling me under, my soul torn asunder
Is my reflection, a form of deception?
Help me to free, help me to release them!

4. The Dagger's Blade

I called you brother, we were invincible
Our allegiance could be breached by none
I stood beside you, through it all
Your greed initiated your downfall

I knew something was going on inside of you
You'll feel the pain when I take it all away

I can't explain why you betrayed
Turned your back on me
You'll rue the day when you see my face
And feel my daggers blade!

Borne of your father, the bastard son
I always knew you would succeed the throne
I would have laid down my life for you
Honour the crown with fury just and true

I called you brother, we were invincible
Now the time has come to watch you crawl
Beware of darkness, beware of light
Forever know I'll strike with holy might

5. Ride The Night

The sun has set over my heart
That makes three days running
Into the night, a new start
But I will find another morning

Yes I will find another morning

The sun will rise, the day will break
The light will fade into the darkness
There will be no more give and take
Yesterday was so heartless

Under the waning moon, beneath the darkest star filled skies
Forever damned to ride, forever ride the night

A new day is here, the night it was so long
Our journey here was a hand one
Our ride will never end, our enemy's the sun
Now with the dusk it's time to run

6. The Longing

Under the veil of secrecy
Never realising what you mean to me

Time after time, it's always the same
Another sleepless night ahead
Watching from a distance, adoring from afar
Trapped in eternal sorrow, wishing on a star

Time after time, it's always the same
When will you see me? Why can't you see me?
When will you hear me? Why can't you hear me?

I'm calling out your name, screaming at the sky
Longing so for you, burning from inside
Look into my eyes, then you will see why
The longing never ends, my love will never die

When will I be free?
So many centuries passed by
There is nothing more I can do
I've followed you through time

I will forever stay two steps behind
How many lifetimes tortured for my crime?

Time after time, it's always the same
Will you ever know my name?

Watching from a distance,adoring from afar
Trapped in eternal sorrow, wishing on a star

7. Sign Of The Storm

The world is awaiting
anticipating tragedy
Cynical spirits,
try to spoil our legacy

We'll trample the dead
with ten legions of men
Only the true will survive
There'll be no retreat,
all false souls we'll defeat
Our call to honour won't die

Beware!

Sign of the Storm!
Our time's at hand! Blood on your sword (All Hail!)

Sign of the storm,
the siege begins, victory is now
You're got blood
on your hands!

Crowds of fools watching
For a flicker of weakness
in our eyes
But oh, how they'll crumble
When they hear our battle cry

Do be afraid!

The warriors now gather,
from all corners of the world
One mission unites them,
we now invoke the gods of war!

After the slaughter, we gaze
upon the blood soaked field
No pity or sorrow, the choice
they made was all to real

The World is watching,
now to mourn this tragedy
The cynical spirits once again
begin their scheme

Forever we will fight together
Brothers hold your torches high
Warriors of Albion!

8. Final Stand

9. Dying Breath

Seems like this road
goes on forever
It's been a lifetime,
that I've been gone
My hair has turned
to grey from brown
That rainbows end
I never found

Yes its true I chased the stars
And I drifted, oh so far...
Far from my friends
and my loved ones
My life now in the setting sun

And as I draw my dying breath
I can see my mother's face
Her tears they fall like rain
For a man who fell from grace

Now all that's left is the cornerstone
Of the place I once called home
Mother, and father lying
in their graves
Their son's return
was far too late

And as I draw my dying breath
I can see my mother's face
Her tears they fall like rain
For a lifetime lost
A soul in flames...
