DragonForce Album

On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight
And the darkness is falling down and the times are tough all right
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight

Fighting high, fighting on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell that is wasted on the shores

On the blackest waves in history
We watch them as they go
Through fire, pain and once again we know

So now we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

[Chorus]
So far away we wait for the day
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They raise their hands to the heavens above
As we send them to their lies
Running back through the mid-morning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from the time in the fallen land
To a light beyond the stars

In the blackest dreams we do believe
Our destiny this time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight

And on the wings of a dream
So far beyond reality
All alone in desperation
Now the time is gone

Lost inside you'll never find
Lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

[Chorus]

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We've fought so hard now can we understand?
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man

[Chorus]

Flying over darkened skies the battle will call
Destiny is calling we'll be out of the storm
And the world falls under the starlight
Shining from heavens below

Ride the wings of pain and sorrow searching for more
Gliding on the wings of sorrow, just never before
And the stars fall on the horizon
Onwards and up through the pain

Ride the wind and fight the demon, steel shining bright
Standing together forever onwards, flames burning strong

Hot wind in hell of pain and sorrow now and never onwards
We stare into the dawn of a new world

[Pre-chorus]
Cry out for the fallen heroes lost some time ago
In our minds they still live on when the sands of time are gone

[Chorus]
Crossing valleys, endless tears, in unity we stand
Far and wide across the land, the victory is ours
On towards the gates of reason
Fight for the truth and the freedom, Gloria

Searching through the memories to open the door
Living on the edge of life like never before
When the crowd chants under the moonlight
Facing their fears all the same

Hell is spilling open wide enough for the core
All this time we're allied to the angels before
And the world cries out from the silence
Lost in the voices unknown

I deny the force of evil, cries into the night
Living before in the seas of darkness, now they're all gone
Out from the shadows storming on the wings of revelations
Your soul will feel no mercy behind the door

Hold on for the morning after never to let go
When the fire's burning strong
And the time to try and hold on

[Chorus]

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Bursting through the fires of empty
Fatal warrior, battles are raging
Power of darkness rise for the fight
We're strong and stand our ground

Death is all around us and my heart is beating weaker
Fight the demon, power of immortal souls arise

Fire in our hearts the evil rages on for evermore
Burning in the cold the battle rages now

Through damnation rise, sign of the times
Master of bleeding eyes
Thunder and high, look to the sky
They're never gonna take us down!

[Chorus]
And we will cross the evil standing
On the temple in the fire
Storming there beyond the lost horizons, oh
Heroes of the night are calling
Reaching for the powers deep inside
On through the night

Blinded by the hate and desire
Burning in your heart like a fire
Challenging you - suffer and fear
Horizons seek control
Blood spills all around us
And our enemies grow nearer
Sacrifice your life to have
The journey you will ride
Take us to the plains of death and carry on for evermore
Riding on the wings of memories long gone!

And you'll die for your crimes, sign of the times
Master of endless lies
Fight to the end, now we ascend
Together we will take them down!

[Chorus x2]

Smashing through the boundaries
Storming through the burning fields
Stand before the evil one
Look towards the morning sun
Falling under skies of pain

Soul is searching endlessly
Crashing over seven seas,
Torture in the winter skies,
Riding over plains of ice,
Shadows in the fields of the slain!

Crashing steel and raging fury
Smash the glass destroy the army
Crush the legions of the twilight
Give us our steel on the way

Cry far away as we reach for the day
Blasting our way through the punishment and the pain
Reach for the war as the sky begins to fall
Rising through the darkened ashes

[Chorus]
Far away and ever onwards see the day
For today the everlasting eternal sun
Washed away the dreams of a brighter day
Forever hold the dream inside
The chance to fight another fight
The breaking hearts will stand for all our lives
With tonight, woah, woah...

Watch you die, I watch you die inside
While fate controls your life
And reject this animosity
That's piercing every mind
You feel the power, do believe
The fear you hold inside
Choose to find a reason for the treason
Now you will be mine

Screams of pain are not the same
And rise again from hell, defending
Power of hearts within the fire
Warriors of hell fear the slain

Rise through the pain
And the sun will rise again,
Day after day but the memories never change
Stand before the storm as the last horizon falls
Riding on the wings of hell
The innocence of our souls

[Chorus]

[Chorus x2]

Yeah!

Silent screams and shattered dreams of what we left at seventeen
Still lost within the misery and pain that lies inside
Here alone the fight to breathe still searching for the truth to be
Blackened by the burning fire held deep inside my mind!

Far beyond the lost horizon standing on the shore
Across the seas their hearts will bleed
This life we're waiting for

Taste the steel, in pain you kneel
For glory we defend
Our fallen souls will rise to fight again!

Stay here with me, this night we'll be together
Future in our hands we'll fight with freedom drawing near
Stand here with me for we will live forever
Tonight we stand and face it all

Falling rain will hide the pain that lies beneath the burning flames
All hope is gone so carry on before the world will fall
Rise again to die in vain now life can never be the same

Skies are falling, thunder storming stand before the world
We're banished now to barren wastelands, fight the demon whore
Riding on through blackened darkness, cross the endless sands
We sail away, our victory at hand!

Stay here with me
Together we'll be stronger
Side by side we've conquered lands
And stormed across the seas

Die here with me
We feel this pain no longer
For now and ever we will be

[Chorus:]
In my heart, in my soul, I am out of control
Fly across the mountains and towards the distant sun
Tears evermore we cry like before
Feel the breakdown of my body - set me free

[Solo: Herman / Sam / Vadim]

[Chorus x2]

Falling from the sky now, a sign of the burning sun
Into the face of the evil one
Nowhere to hide now we're on the run right before your eyes

We're watching, we're waiting, our souls are forsaking
The sign of the warriors, where we will arise

Through the fire and the flames, breaking the chains
Into the night we go
Time to pay, time of the slain
Such as the death we know

[Pre-chorus]
Our steel will shine forever through the dark and falling rain!
We'll see them face their fears; it's time to rise again in everlasting pain

[Chorus]
Fly free for what we believe
One thousands hearts bleeding the eternal dream
Feel me the judgement of me
So silently now they will heal - cry for eternity
See now the fallen are new again,
We feel the pain burn inside their head,
Remember now what to be again, deep down inside
Still cursing, still crawling, we're endlessly falling
The downfall of mankind, the fate of the sun

Hold your head to the sky, bleeding we cry
Screaming into the night
Fire and pain, beginning again,
Onwards to help me now!

Stand strong we'll live forever
Raging through the barren lands
Our eyes have seen the sorrow
Far across the stars, the power in our hearts

[Chorus]

Fly far away to the end of our days
The voices of long distant cries
Now we remain in this labyrinth of pain
And so we ride into the night

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Cry for eternity

Close your eyes, hear the thundering rain
Here inside of the torture and pain
For the cries of the world and the last lives remain

Hear your heart's way to die for the game
Deep inside slowly fading away
And the last breath's in vain and the fear turns to rage

Locked in the world by the fallen evil souls
Torn right apart from the roughly seam
Breaking my mind now to bring my life to war
Reach out and die with the flames
See through the lives of the red hot stabbing eyes
Now is the time to defend your crown
Destiny will call to remind us all
We fly free so far from here there's one thing we'll relay
And dreams of everlasting pain the fallen now rise again

Through the fire, through the flames like the sun we'll rise again
Lost in time, lost in space to the end of other days

The quest will rage, not meant to be
In flames of hell forevermore eternally

[Chorus]
So free your heart leave your life far behind
In the cold dark winter skies escape the pain inside
Now feel your soul lost in scenes of all eternity
Every day of this life, defending
And the flames of youth not ending
In a lifetime, searching, we must fight through the eternal pain

So alone in the world far away, memories of the dream will remain
As the world's falling cold and your life's all in vain

Fire in your soul will forever rise again
Nothing in your mind to remember now
Held here by the fear of the dark land calling
Fly free on endless seas, the final curtain falls
On the ground from down below, the time to lock and to load

Through the fire, through the rain, far across the distant plains
Feel the wind beneath the steel as your mind becomes insane
Save the hate of all humanity, their eyes belong to destiny
For freedom now we rise alone again

[Chorus]

So free your heart leave your life far behind
In the cold dark winter skies escape the pain inside
And when the memories are all left behind
And the days are gone forever, lost within my mind
Now feel your soul burn in scenes of all eternity
Every day of this life, defending
And the flames of youth not ending
In a lifetime, searching, we must fight through the eternal pain

We fight through the eternal pain

Here we are far beyond the distant sky
We've seen all the world and how the story will be over
Through the snow and tainted mountains we have climbed
Now we have found the light that guides us over

Through the fallen rain we travelled far and wide
And through the blackest darkness
Stars above shining bright

Through the sun and winter rain we'll fall
All our lives we have been waiting for a sound to call
We're walking hand in hand in dreams and endless time
How do we know when we will leave this life behind?

Staring life through eyes of mine to hate the fear and the pain
There's a feeling held deep inside - the life you live is in vain

[Chorus]
Fly away down the lonely roads of yesterday
Close your eyes to see the light of latter days
And all the memory that time can never heal

Once again we walk this lonely road
There are times that we are wading through the rain and cold
We're lost in memories of what we left behind
Relive the dreams, the endless screams of pain inside

Lives are filled with emptiness
The fear returned once again
Searching endlessly now we will see
Drown your mind in the pain

[Chorus]

The last temptation will be all that's left for me

When I see those tears you cry
When I hear those lies you lie
When I see your creation now for an enemy
Is this the reason to be?

[Chorus]

The trail of broken hearts flying free

[Bonus Track]

Spend all our lives
On what we believe in
Struggle day by day
But never retrieving
Taking our chances
And follow the footsteps
Ancestors will take us to this fight
At the time it was blistering snowing

Never really know about
Where we were going
Time is coming now
To cross over
Here and now until
The curtain lowers

Slaying all the evil down below
Onwards we ride now
To what we know
And carry on forever
Brace your soul
To fight whenever

Never know how far we travelled
We will have our stand
Across the deepest oceans
Gold is in our hands
Good things will come
For those who wait we can't deny
Still the battle raging and the fire burns inside

Take you with me, we will fly across the sea
To the land of the sun where our journeys begun
All fear is gone, we sail until the dawn
Deepest fears will burn inside your mind
For the souls lost in endless time

Searching never ending
For the chaos ascending
You forgot the spirits
All times pretending
Passing shades of darkness
In the world around you
Finally insanity
In death has found you.

On the edge of life
Trying to pull you under
Deep inside the storm
There's a raging thunder
Sacrifice your innocence
For persecution
As we now prepare
For the revolution

Slaying all the evil down below
Onwards we ride now
To what we know
Strong enough to stay
And carry on forever
Brace your soul
To fight whenever

In a time of fire we're searching
Blind inside the mind
Run away to hell's damnation
One day we will find
Suddenly the skies are falling
Too late for us all
Crashing down on all creation
As the towers fall

Take you with me, we will fly across the sea...

[Solos: Vadim / Key Blast]

[Bridge]

[Solos: Sam / Herman / Sam / Herman]

Take you with me, we will fly across the sea...
