Glimpse of the Dawn
Eternal hunger<br/> For the secrets kept in stone<br/> To see what lies beyond<br/> The brambles overgrown<br/> Will we ever know?<br/> <br/> Often we wonder<br/> What the watcher has in store<br/> Some say he walks among us<br/> Disguised in hood and cloak<br/> <br/> Yearning for<br/> The wealth of a distant shore<br/> Seeking lands<br/> Fertile and devoid of snow<br/> <br/> And we are fearful<br/> Of the sly one's wicked plan<br/> His whispers echo<br/> In the evil deeds of man<br/> Will he rule again?

We heard the warning call<br/> On wings of gold and steel<br/> The look in our eye held the moon in the sky<br/> Onward and never to yield<br/> <br/> At the sound of the tolling bell<br/> The mist began to rise<br/> The crest of the night obscured our sight<br/> And darkness would shield our cries<br/> <br/> It's a winding road<br/> I'm coming home<br/> <br/> At dawn the four winds blow<br/> To chase away the night<br/> Out from the black the was no turning back<br/> Galloping into the light<br/> <br/> In the glow of the setting sun<br/> We follow the endless trail<br/> Those that had died still wondering why<br/> And what lies behind the vale<br/> <br/> It's a winding road<br/> I'm coming home

Weary the hunter in silence kneels<br/> The faintest of whimpers<br/> A canine squeal<br/> Bestial trudging<br/> The crack of bough<br/> Mist separating<br/> To reveal<br/> <br/> I rule the wind<br/> Commander of tooth claw and beak<br/> And in these woods<br/> I am the roots beneath your feet<br/> <br/> Ravens watch onward<br/> From the trees<br/> Whispering rumour<br/> On the breeze<br/> Wolves cry the warning<br/> A prickle of fear<br/> You're granted his mercy<br/> But don't linger here<br/> <br/> I rule the wind<br/> Commander of tooth claw and beak<br/> And in these woods<br/> I am the roots beneath your feet

If the night should lend you it's hand<br/> Would you reach out and take it?<br/> <br/> All these thoughts that you can't understand<br/> Who will answer your prayers?<br/> <br/> Night falling<br/> They're calling<br/> To carry the weight of this world<br/> <br/> So light the spark<br/> Vanquish the dark<br/> Soon you will be there again<br/> <br/> Child in pain<br/> Embrace mortality<br/> Father's words<br/> Echo through time<br/> <br/> If the fools draw a line in the sand<br/> Would you rise up and face it?<br/> <br/> Will you fight and take up your stand<br/> Send them to the darkness below<br/> <br/> Day's dawning<br/> I'm calling<br/> To live by the edge of a sword<br/> <br/> The thunder cracks<br/> No turning back<br/> Soon you will be there again<br/> <br/> Child in pain<br/> Embrace mortality<br/> Father's words<br/> Echo through time

Furtive outlander, it is you who holds the key.<br/> The crystal gates shall never reopen, bewail to all your greed.<br/> Cast out many moons ago, why dare to reappear?<br/> Stand before our kind and leave the world behind<br/> The final exit is near.<br/> <br/> We come to free our king<br/> Golden shields Marching forth<br/> <br/> Prophet decipher, the omens in feverish dreams<br/> Through divinations of mystic vibrations<br/> The teller reveals the scene<br/> Visions of an endless horde, shrouded ethereal glow<br/> crestfallen lepers, once seraphim sherpherds<br/> Unfurl their blackened wings<br/> <br/> We come to free our king<br/> Golden shields Marching forth<br/> <br/> In the final hour the vagabond will appear<br/> His light reflects on gold and steel

To the wind I cast my fortune<br/> On a shining sea of gold<br/> Shadows dance in crimson moonlight<br/> Sheltered from the cold<br/> Piercing rays shine from the dawn<br/> The path will be revealed<br/> The road that crosses distant heavens<br/> Pursued with pious zeal<br/> <br/> In my dreams<br/> I saw their haunted eyes<br/> The ones who scheme<br/> From the tower in the sky<br/> <br/> Tread softly now through gentle candle light<br/> Arcane conjuration breaks the seal inside<br/> Beguiled and shackled down to the dungeon's despair<br/> One thousand centuries imprisoned without a prayer<br/> <br/> Gaze into eternity<br/> From darkest dreams now set free<br/> Blood upon the tower walls<br/> Aeons pass as titans fall<br/> <br/> Deadly silence fills the court<br/> The dreamer alone with his thoughts<br/> The new lord begins his reign<br/> A jesters dance a foolish game<br/> <br/> Dreamer<br/> You're a dreamer<br/> Dreamer<br/> You're a dreamer in the dark

Dawn breaks upon the frozen hill<br/> Thin men stand weary, jaded by a mad man's will<br/> To arms, to arms the tyrant calls<br/> And they limp towards his dying cause<br/> Dragging swords behind they plough the snow<br/> <br/> Your fingers wound like serpents 'round this daggers hilt<br/> Concealed behind a screen of smiles<br/> You blur the line between angel and fiend<br/> Unburdened by the gift of guilt<br/> <br/> Pray his disciples may soon overhear<br/> That vile adviser whispers poison in his ear<br/> Too late, too late the shackles bind<br/> And the fragile king has lost his mind<br/> Seeking further council from the snake<br/> <br/> Your fingers wound like serpents 'round this daggers hilt<br/> Concealed behind a screen of smiles<br/> You blur the line between angel and fiend<br/> Unburdened by the gift of guilt<br/> <br/> I feel a little strange today<br/> I'm looking in the mirror<br/> And the gold has turned to grey<br/> My eyes feel hollow now<br/> Set like stones within my brow<br/> And heavy weighs the crown<br/> Upon my neck<br/> <br/> At last the kind starts to defrost<br/> Tears streak his old cheeks<br/> As he mourns the years he's lost<br/> To work, to work they light the fire<br/> And the snake is burnt upon a pyre<br/> The vengeance will not compensate the loss<br/> Oh no<br/> <br/> Your fingers wound like serpents 'round this daggers hilt<br/> Concealed behind a screen of smiles<br/> You blur the line between angel and fiend<br/> Unburdened by the gift of guilt
