distant memories

blind guardian

now storm come closer

can feel you're getting near

lust stay invisible 'til its over

but still they don't know

they're just caught in distant memories

then these fools will fade away

they may not fear the fall

they won't be anymore

i hear their silent singing

we don't fear anymore

we don't fear him

now don't come closer

stand still

don't interfere

don't move or things go wrong

we're trapped in twilight

trapped in the mind of a sacrificial king

and the sun won't shine here anymore

i curse the crow

dear old friend

and when the time is right for changes

we will salute you

and a new age may begin

when all the magic is gone

no need to carry it along

whatever the cost

it will not be redeemed

and whatever may come

it will not bring

relief

in the mirror

they may fail to see

what is real behind

them it ends

and there is no return

they will go down

they all will have to drown

out of the dark

into the grey

these fools will fade away

no matter what

i've come to say

these fools will fade away

a storm comes closer

can feel you're getting near?

just stay invisible

you're no savior

i know they reach out for someone

reach out for the great unknown

they've thought

it is time for changes

we will salute you

moved on to the promised land

we will salute you

now let it begin

they've found a new god
