Blind Guardian - Ashes of Eternity lyrics
[Blind Guardian - Ashes of Eternity lyrics]
The Hare once betrayed me
And so did the Fox and the Crow
Just once defied me
There's me and there's Space where are they?
Maybe dead no one knows
You can't defy me ride all along
With me there's no tomorrow
Now let me through and wait for my command
Don't try to be cruel oh, my beautiful child
But how can you try to redeem the past?
It's not real as it seems
Now ride on your wave
And get back to that place
Scratch deeper and deeper
And soon I will be on my own
The gods will ignore your end
(They'll defend the elder)
The lords won't salute you
The saints they won't save you
(They'll defend their guardian)
The savior won't heal your soul
Caesar no man's world
It's the Ides of March
Then from the ashes of eternity
A new spirit will rise
A new order shall take over now
Raise the flag the war seems over
And bow your head
At dawn they shall be murdered
Woes, I will not complain
The further you get
The closer's the end, dear but now
I will try come and see
That things are not what they may seem
It's all written down
The savior lies bleeding
But he won't surrender
The scriptures don't lie
He'll he turned around no one to blame
It all goes down
The gods will ignore your end
(They'll defend the elder)
The lords won't salute you
The saints they won't save you
(They'll defend their guardian)
The savior won't heal your soul
Now go and get your holy grail
And don't forget
Just once you'll cross the border
Now let the saints
The saints come marching in
Whatever you'll do do it fast
My sweet son of decay now let the saints
The saints come marching in transform
You may pass rearrange it
Now change to betray i won't lie
While bright eyes are turning pale
Your sands run low your light shines
My last try it'll soon be over
No sign shall be given for ages and more
You may enter first
But from now you will be on your own
The gods will ignore your end
(They'll defend the elder)
The lords won't salute you
The saints they won't save you
(They'll defend their guardian)
The savior won't heal your soul
You're getting your grail
But there's no place to go
Longing for a new shore
Eastern winds they blow cold
The saints you will bring them down
The savior won't take the crown
Let my spirit fly let it fly
And so did the Fox and the Crow
Just once defied me
There's me and there's Space where are they?
Maybe dead no one knows
You can't defy me ride all along
With me there's no tomorrow
Now let me through and wait for my command
Don't try to be cruel oh, my beautiful child
But how can you try to redeem the past?
It's not real as it seems
Now ride on your wave
And get back to that place
Scratch deeper and deeper
And soon I will be on my own
The gods will ignore your end
(They'll defend the elder)
The lords won't salute you
The saints they won't save you
(They'll defend their guardian)
The savior won't heal your soul
Caesar no man's world

Then from the ashes of eternity
A new spirit will rise
A new order shall take over now
Raise the flag the war seems over
And bow your head
At dawn they shall be murdered
Woes, I will not complain
