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 decent 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 precious 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 in 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
