Blind Guardian Album

In deserts I was preaching The hand of god was with me
Baptised with water and I praised
The one who came behind me
To save us all with the holy ghost
-a prophet of the fools I've been lost

I'm sure you're there wandering around
But do you care for me I'm alone
You talk of love not for me
In my dungeon cold I could think about
All the things you've said
But I can't understand your famous son

No no turning back
I'm banished from sanctuary
The darkness in me is filling me with pain
There's no way to turn back for eternity

In shadows I'm walking and caught in loneliness
Deliverance I wait for but how long?
Are you the one who should come show me the light in you
Or should we wait for someone? Another!

No...


Your reich should come to this world
Your way smoothed by my blood, friend
My might will decrease but you'll get
High, yes so much higher be careful of the rats, friend
Cause they'll never sleep before they catch you, too

The blind can see the sun, cripples walk alone
The deaf can hear my words they believe just believe
They believe in me. Look! The signs are near
To perform my task to perform my way
To perform the way I walked
The way of the crucifix

I hear the hangman coming, I wait for execution

Conquer the whole world to satisfy
Their lust for pain and terror
Disguise their faces to hide them
In the dark Determination

The oath on the runestaff is the highest
The ruin of a nation Step by step Destiny

Damned for all time - but what's time
Tales of the one who's born to change

And as the earth was old and cold
She closed her eyes and fell to sleep
Violation ruled the world
The dark kingdom's time

He's called Hawkmoon wearing a sign
Black jewel in his head
He's the one who's forever there
He's born a thousand times

Damned for all time In every age he existed
Damned for all time In every future he'll live
For all time He's crying He's crying

Hey strange one I know you're standing there
The faces are they mine?
Are you out there?
Watch out for the day, friend I'll know your name
Hear my laughter

Oblivion - who's blowing the horn
Oblivion - who's killing the gods

Damned...

Dark kingdom's lost now. No pain storms the land
Strange things are happening. Changing of all planes
In the universe by a bad magician
To conquer the power of this magic
A place where truth waits must be found Tanelorn

Damned for all time - who am I?
Once I've been called Erekose

I was Elric - I'll be Corum I'm the prince of the south ice
Now I'm nothing Wait for someone Wait for Ilian No! I'm Hawkmoon

Oblivion - the war is eternal
Oblivion - the battle is endless

Follow the Blind
Your journey, your last hope, it can begin
these passing dreams
were real no fantasy
there are more things than we know
come take my hand
(Solo: André)

Searching for the talisman you'll find it
on another plane far from all time
maybe you wonder while you see
the same faces
everywhere
you can find yourself in it
cause you're a part

I'm another
strange my feelings
where am I here
for a short time
I remember I had been here
(Solo: Marcus)

Ref.:
I'm alone, follow me!
Calling you, follow me!
I'm alone, follow me!
Follow me
Follow me it's my time
Follow me
Follow the Blind

Wandering around in my darkest dreams
iron shadows are lurking at me
in this desert the tyrant's calling
On the run to save my Love
she's full of pain
the queen is lying far behind
in an endless dream
(Solo: André)

Before I thought I was dreaming
a strange voice whispers in my ears
you're the rat in the trap
return, or pain will come to you

Ref.: I'm alone .. ..No!
(Lead: André

Alone I walk, hearing a voice
that's calling my name
no one should be here
take no one with you
god, why I didn't care

On through death take me away
to the place time will not fade

Colder than dead
darkness - eternity
but look out

A hundred thousand centuries
the sun had never seen
so near but so much too far
eternal place you know what's life
but cannot tell

I can never see you changing
but you look to me
time will never heal your wounds
but you're immortal

Hall of the King a vision of the end
Hall of the King don't cry for us
don't hear us calling
Oh watch out for me Hall of the light
my last sign

You find yourself
just take a look
to see you must open your eyes
like a hawk in the sky
a wonder that dies
don't ask me wy

You're the birth and you're the end
you've been hurt but you're not dead
discovering you is what should never be
poisoned are our souls
and dark our hearts
ruins we've left to rule the world
destructive are our minds
it's much too late

Ref.: Hall...

White hair and red eyes
he's holding the crown
the king of the island
Elric of Melniboné
he's born for destruction
he's ruled by the gods
eternal hero
the scale of the universe

Blood on his hands
he's born a thousand times
why don't we feel the signs
from the dragon king

Before the end of fire his journey starts
the eagle's spreading his wings
following his fate
he's ruled from anywhere
leads him to the truth
it's deep inside

Hail to the king
they'll bless tonight
he's the Saviour of our time

In a dark land far behind
no one knows it's name
there's a dark sword cold as ice
a blade created for him

Stormbringer cries
for the soul of everyone
Stormbringer crues
"The ending has begun"

Ref.:
Run fast to Madness
Forever I
Run fast to Madness
Leave him alone

Ref.: Run...

Destiny's calling him back to the island
And time? time is standing still
time is not real
time is not real

Armed with weapons awaiting the fight
he's leading the dragon
the sun will never rise
creatures are lurking
in darkness they hide
high in the sky the dragon king is flying

Hail to the king of Melniboné
he's the Saviour of our time

Mourning deserts rottingness
blade of dark will rise
gods devine
are hiding in the dark
needing Elric's hand

Stormbringer cries:
"I'm forged in darkest time"
Stormbringer cries:
"The ending has begun"

Ref.: Run...

[No lyrics]

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)

Bridge:
So many centuries
so many Gods
we were the prisoners
of our own fantasty
but now we are marching
against these Gods
I'm the wizard, I will change it all
(Lead: André/Marcus)

Ref.:
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me
(Solo: André)

Ref.:
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

Bridge:
So many centuries
so many Gods
we were the prisoners
of our own fantasty
but then we had nothing
who'll lead our life
no, no, we can't live without Gods

Ref.:
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me
