Testo The soulforged Blind Guardian

The soulforged

I'm not insane
that's how it seems though
spiteful, cruel but wise
beyond his age
my body fails
my soul will rise
the end of life's immortalized
disease and agony
and I see death through golden eyes
beyond the door
there's something more
it seems there's just one way
on through the heat
I've felt the touch of evil
I still feel the icy claw in me
for a descent price
I've banned kindness from my heart
the spirit of all truth and beauty
pawned for my desire
and from the flames
as chance would have it
the soulforged will come into light
and from the flames
as chance would have it
the soulforged, the stainless will rise
I will never change my mind
I will leave it all behind
and through the hour glass
everything's grey
everyone's pale
no colour nor beauty will enlighten my heart
the seat of life's empty and cold
cadaverous you all seem to me
stillborn but you're still alive
you're still alive
truth lies in loneliness
when hope is long gone by
I'll wipe out the bliss of the new age
and welcome you precoius night
and from the flames
as chance would have it
the soulforged will come into light
and from the flames
as chance would have it
the soulforged, the stainless will rise
from a distant time
voices echo in the hall
come and join us
enter life and
everything is gone now
and through the looking glass
I still fear mortality and
its loss in the end
unlimited power in my hands
the claw of the dragon ascends
mourn for his lost soul
he's cursed and condemned
each step I take
may it hurt may it ache
leads me further
away from the past
but as long as i breathe
each smile on my bleak face
I'm on my way to find
back to the peace of mind
and from the flames
as chance would have it
the soulforged will come into light
and from the flames
as chance would have it
the soulforged, the stainless will rise
I will never change my mind
I will leave it all behind
