Lyrics

[00:14.22] It cannot be seen but there's blood on the green
[00:17.54] Only God knows I'm innocent
[00:19.39] Take me, take me home
[00:21.44] A dark seed reigns in me like the Storm rules over the sea
[00:24.53] I challenge thee, do not cross this bridge alone
[00:28.21] Don't dare me now
[00:30.25] The threatening shadows will pass by
[00:34.39] They're getting closer now
[00:36.99] Open your eyes
[00:37.83] Wake up my dear young friend
[00:39.93] And hate shall fade away
[00:41.99] I will not move yet
[00:48.66] I'll stand still instead
[00:55.49] There on the battlefield he stands
[00:59.52] Down on the battlefield he's lost
[01:03.27] And on the battlefield it ends
[01:09.06] War and anger shall reign
[01:13.35] The clash of iron can be heard
[01:16.04] By blindness you're driven insane
[01:19.64] I'm lost in anguish and grief
[01:22.77] Sorrow won't wane 'til you die
[01:26.67] A shattered body deeply hurt
[01:29.66] And darkness will cover the light
[01:33.51] It's gone forevermore
[01:50.03] The field's been left in sorrow
[01:53.67] The father and the son they're gone
[01:57.06] The Sun shines bright and anger rises
[02:00.51] Lorn and lonely torn apart
[02:03.96] Don't you think it's time to stop now
[02:07.40] We were charmed and fooled by the old serpent's kiss
[02:13.19] Let's pray that heaven is on our side
[02:15.87] Through violence and horror shall honour arise
[02:19.31] So let's pray and blessed shall be our leader
[02:22.75] We follow the noble and bright
[02:26.29] Don't you hear me crying, crying
[02:32.78] Come take me away
[02:34.53] I hallow thy name
[02:39.81] There on the battlefield he stands
[02:43.75] Down on the battlefield he's lost
[02:47.84] And on the battlefield it ends
[02:53.50] War and anger shall reign
[02:57.68] The clash of iron can be heard
[03:00.32] By blindness you're driven insane
[03:03.96] I'm lost in anguish and grief
[03:07.15] Sorrow won't wane 'til you die
[03:11.13] A shattered body deeply hurt
[03:13.83] And darkness will cover the light
[03:17.97] It's gone forevermore
[03:55.50] That's what the minstrel sing
[03:57.10] Join in the horrible screams
[03:58.89] Take part in murderous deeds
[04:00.53] Renowned be the lion-hearted
[04:02.33] Join in the minstrelsy
[04:03.83] Wailing in endless grief
[04:05.72] It eagerly longs for more
[04:07.37] Broken bodies lay down on the ground
[04:09.52] Blood sheds all over the place
[04:12.16] The green will be stained forever
[04:15.85] And hate reigns all over the field
[04:18.94] They keep struggling on in anger
[04:22.88] Fiercely intense outrageous, too blind to see
[04:26.83] And in pain they keep on singing
[04:30.11] We claim the land for the highlord
[04:33.11] God bless the land and our highlord
[04:36.74] War and anger shall reign
[04:40.88] The clash of iron can be heard
[04:43.68] By blindness you're driven insane
[04:47.32] I'm lost in anguish and grief
[04:50.31] Sorrow won't wane 'til you die
[04:54.20] A shattered body deeply hurt
[04:56.89] And darkness will cover the light
[05:01.03] It's gone forevermore
