Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The realm's bleedin'
It suffers, old and week
No further argue, there is war at hand
(The system's failing) Engines runnin'
[Verse 2]
Then after all I sense the end is dawnin'
These lunatics deny the truth
I know I will not fail there'll be
[Verse 3]
War, it's now or never, we shall stand together
One by one the world is sacred (I'm coming home)
War, it's now or never, we shall stand together
One by one the world is sacred (I'm coming home)
Coming home
[Verse 4]
You chase in twilight
And you know
You will be on your own
(On your own)
[Verse 5]
The misery shown
I'll be alone in this hour
I'll face the unknown
Witness the end
[Verse 6]
I'm bleedin', I'm fadin'
Here in my final hour
When long lost memories return
And a voice keeps callin'
[Verse 7]
All dead and gone
It's out of hand, life is in motion
(I'm wishin', I'm fadin')
Time to wake up (Face the truth)
[Verse 8]
I'm sinkin', I'm drownin'
There's no doubt and no regret (Time to reveal now)
This is no illusion, it is real, carry on the flame
It's not over now, watch me I will rise (Time to reveal now)
I know I will not fail anymore
[Verse 9]
I'm the one forever, all that really matters
Blessed realm, this world is sacred (I'm coming home)
War, it's now or never, we shall stand together
One by one the world is sacred (I'm coming home)
[Verse 10]
Yesterday's gone
There's no today or tomorrow
I'm raised from the dead
The ritual failed
[Verse 11]
Now at the gates
I'm left alone in this hour
Driven insane
I am left alone
[Verse 12]
And now I drown in deepest shadows
While the golden hall is sealed
I'm wishin', I'm fadin'
And I'm part of the machine
[Verse 13]
My eyes are the eyes of a dead man
And feel the unholy stream
The source of my power, T-energy
I'm in control (I'm in control)
[Verse 14]
I will live forever, all that really matters
I'm the one, this world is sacred (I'm coming home)
War, it's now or never
We shall stand together
One by one the world is sacred (I'm coming home)
[Verse 15]
I spread my winds but keep on fallin'
I should have known (Can't see them comin')
(War is over) Whisper in the wind
Just let me out of here
There is no way, there's no end
While all the suffering goes on
All that I know is that I'm not insane
It's not over
