Somewhere in the alley A shot inside the dark The gutters paved in blackened blood By the godless patriarch You hear the thunder howlin' You fear his glowing eyes A bang across the universe As the lightning hits the skies Fear the sound of metal The clash when steel meets steel We're renegades, let's regulate Let's finish this ordeal We are defenders, the almighty We stomp the trail where no one dares to go We are the brave, let's keep on fighting Protect the sacred vow Trapped into a corner Silence fills the air The dark abandoned city streets Is now the dragon's lair A scream across the heavens A sound to heed the call Protectors of the universe Ready to play ball Fear the sound of metal The sweetest sound of all We're flying high up in the sky A mighty fireball We are defenders, the almighty We stomp the trail where no one dares to go We are the brave, let's keep on fighting Protect the sacred vow The first cut spilled blood in the gutter The second cut blinded his eyes The third cut gave us all the answers The final cut sliced up his lies We are defenders, the almighty We stomp the trail where no one dares to go We are the brave, let's keep on fighting Protect the sacred vow We are defenders, the almighty We stomp the trail where no one dares to go We are the brave, let's keep on fighting Protect the sacred vow

Where have I been? I don’t know where to begin Memories flash, right and painfully clash Forever gone, my mind is clear but undone Storms raging on, sensing the other one Here, in the thunderous silence I sit, petrified Knowing the Twilight Princess will come I hear her lies, piercing through me, hypnotized Cursing the skies, who I become, I despise I had no choice All is lost – can’t rejoice Nothing but noise And her sweet, sweet voice No, as the dusk is approaching, I hear her again It’s the Twilight Princess I fear Oh, her beauty, ethereal, out of this world Because the Twilight Princess is here Give me a reason, you won’t give me a sign Give me a reason to cross the line Darkness has come And the last rays of sunlight are gone What matters now won’t matter soon In the light of the moon I once was dead, time standing still and at last Free in my head, never remember the past I must obey, finding an innocent prey To make the Twilight Princess smile Always astray, need her to show me the way It is my Twilight Princess’ trial Yes, as the dusk is approaching, I hear her again It’s the Twilight Princess I see Oh, her beauty, ethereal, out of this world Because the Twilight Princess is me She’s always with me

A rose from the ashes The remains of a time set aside The warrior of Eden Found by honor as two words collide On and on and on With glory he came, he saw, he conquered He gathered his armies True elite squads, the Templars of Steel They sought out the dragon Made the enemy bleed, made them kneel On and on and on A legend unbent, unbowed, unbroken On and on and on A story is born, a legacy reborn! Hammer high To the sky Follow the warrior and the king Call out Hector's Hymn Hammer high (Hammer high) Amplify Hail to the warrior! Call out Hector's Hymn Along came the thunder And the hero was set to return With hearts fueled by fire Our spirits were now set to burn On and on and on The fire and the flame will burn forever Still guarded by Templars All the secrets of steel will remain 'Cause we are the keepers And for us this is real, not a game On and on and on We follow his lead, we came, we conquered On and on and on Together we fight, together we will fall Hammer high To the sky Follow the warrior and the king Call out Hector's Hymn Hammer high (Hammer high) Amplify Hail to the warrior!

There are clouds on the horizon. Shifting colours, heavy rain. High above the roaring thunder. Shooting bullets through your brain. There's something wicked left behind. A befell sight, a calming, sinister state of your mind. Behold the skies; the port of heaven takes the stairway down to hell. The gate is open lift the curse. We set aside our dreams, ambitions; we are one we will unite. At the Threshold of the universe. We will rise! Late at night they heard the sirens. From a place so far away. A light forces mighty brethren in a vesture of decay. They are the legions of the night. Turning darkness into... turning the dark into light. Behold the skies; the port of heaven takes the stairway down to hell. The gate is open lift the curse. We set aside our dreams, ambitions; we are one we will unite. At the Threshold of the universe, universe. We will rise! [Solo: Stefan] Behold the skies; the port of heaven takes the stairway down to hell. The gate is open lift the curse. We set aside our dreams, ambitions; we are one we will unite. At the Threshold of the universe. Behold the skies; the port of heaven takes the stairway down to hell. The gate is open lift the curse. We set aside our dreams, ambitions; we are one we will unite. At the Threshold of the universe, universe, universe, universe.
