Blind Guardian - Battlefield Lyrics
It cannot be seenBut there's blood on the greenOnly god knows I'm innocentTake me, take me homeA dark seed reigns in meLike the storm rules over the seaI challenge thee, do not cross this bridge aloneDon't dare me nowThe threatening shadows will pass byThere're getting closer nowOpen your eyesWake up my dear young friendAnd hate shall fade awayI will not move, yetI'll stand still, insteadThere on the battlefield he standsDown on the battlefield he's lostAnd on the battlefield it endsWar and anger shall reignThe clash of iron can be heardBy blindness you're driven insaneI'm lost in anguish and griefSorrow won't wane 'til you dieA shattered body deeply hurtAnd darkness will cover the lightIt's gone forevermoreThe field's been left in sorrowThe father and the sonThey're goneThe sun shines brightAnd anger risesLorn and lonelyTorn apartDon't you thinkIt's time to stop nowWe were charmed and fooled by the old serpent's kissLet's prayThat heaven is on our sideThrough violence and horrorShall honour ariseSo let's prayAnd blessed shall be our leaderWe follow the noble and brightDon't you hear me cryingCryingCome take me awayI hallow thy nameThere on the battlefield he standsDown on the battlefield he's lostAnd on the battlefield it endsWar and anger shall reignThe clash of iron can be heardBy blindness you're driven insaneI'm lost in anguish and griefSorrow won't wane 'til you dieA shattered body deeply hurtAnd darkness will cover the lightIt's gone forevermoreThat's what minstrel singJoin in the horrible screamsTake part in murderous deedsRenowned be the lion-heartedJoin in the minstrelsyWailing in endless griefIt eagerly longs for moreBroken bodies lay down on the groundBlood sheds all over the placeThe green will be stained foreverAnd hate reigns all over the fieldThey keep struggling on in angerFiercely intenseOutrageous, too blind to seeAnd in pain they keep on singingWe claim the land for the highlordGod bless the land and our highlordWar and anger shall reignThe clash of iron can be heardBy blindness you're driven insaneI'm lost in anguish and griefSorrow won't wane 'til you dieA shattered body deeply hurtAnd darkness will cover the lightIt's gone forevermore
