the relic

Singer:symphony x

silver cross in ancient halls

deep inside the castle walls

bound to sleep

forever locked in chains

evil carved into the stone

ancient words they've never known

a serpent's silent shroud still remains

come with me and i'll make all your wishes come true

lifting the chains of oppression from you

wiping away the lines carved in your face

take the relic from this place. carry on

into the horizon

wielding courage

staff in hand

journey on

through shadows and dreams

and what lies beyond the guardian's keep

prey and siege in voiceless woe

who's dust was scattered long ago

awaken from the dark and endless sleep

man's desires-now mortal wounds

believing tales and shallow truths

hardened hearts now tremble in the keep

trust in me and i'll lay all your nightmares to waste

take the relic from this place

carry on

into the horizon

wielding courage

staff in hand

journey on

through shadows and dreams

and what lies beyond the guardian's keep
