[I - A Clash of Cultures and Times] In a desert wasteland We roam across fields of burning sand Still there is one goal to reach And I promise, for all that is and ever will be The coldest thing here are their hearts Duty is to make all flesh and heart part And the night will soon meet its end When his body lays and his power weakens The path was dark and so full of terrors Many doubted to stay, we felt so alone But you stood behind us, so we carried on Neither man nor god could foresee The group was gone, a set of corpses All were but me My will to kill grew ever strong The fight was short, as it all should be A distant shot was the end of tyranny I returned home and the world sang along: "All their king has brought upon us Was an antiquated culture of oppression and lust But now we're grateful at last For this is the closest to peace that we'll ever get Heaven spoke with a word of hope We listened and we knew our goal Erase the sins for no darkness ever to evoke Now it's done after years of woe And it's written so the world shall know: May thy honor and wealth forever grow“ But tides can turn in a matter of seconds [II - Fall from Grace] The higher you climb, the further you fall It happens to all, no matter how strong Once a hero of war, now regarded as scum Once an idol for all, rivaled by none It was a necessary act I did with our writ Now's seen as a sin and a crime I did commit When all is grey and one can't see what is true There is no hope for a right thing to do When victory calls, all men want a part But you always lose alone, so better don't start When the final curtain falls, noones there to blame Yet the fault was always there, yours and mine's the same What was lost and forgotten will be reborn and redone What seemed over for long will see a new dawn When peasants are kings, no one knows what's next So whatever side's you're on, you will regret Remember this: 't was not all in vain We still have the knowledge: it was right what we began And if you think that we were wrong Just remember when you sang this song: "All their king has brought upon us Was an antiquated culture of oppression and lust But now we're grateful at last For this is the closest to peace that we'll ever get Heaven spoke with a word of hope We listened and we knew our goal Erase the sins for no darkness ever to evoke Now it's done after years of woe And it's written so the world shall know: May thy honor and wealth forever grow“ Now in my death cell I've come to realize All that's good in life comes with a heavy prize But no man ever dares to say That sometimes a life is the right thing to pay
