Brothers I had for each finger
five I counted when first we saw
The Golden Age was this time then called
when all men lived days of hope
But none saw the times that were coming
they would turn the tide against us
Seeking freedom in their hearts the
race of men was destined to see

What lies beneath the surface
The truth revealed only through our death

The war broke our world in two
half for the light and rest for the shadow
I smiled an unseen smile at my fate as I
knew what stories would lie ahead
But none saw the times that were coming
they would turn the tide against us
The war did not hold the answer I waited
instead it broke the world apart

Cold is the air once more
Flesh and steel united in battle

I am the truth, the path for my people to freedom
Where one must arise to free his soul
My friends, my people, follow my path

Once again I roamed the world
this time I knew the end was near
Shadows stretched their darkened fingers as
nightfall never ended
But none saw the times that were coming
they would turn the tide against us
Sleeping dreams and dreaming freedom
I saw the end was near

Can justice be served without me
I know this must be the answer I waited for

Ten thousand years of loneliness after
which the world would blaze again
The age draws near when time stands still
our twilight is soon at hand
But none saw the times that were coming
they would turn the tide against us
The war did not hold the answer I waited
instead it broke the world apart

Cold is the air once more
Flesh and steel united in battle

I am the truth, the path for my people to freedom
Where one must arise to free his soul
My friends, my people, follow my path
