We were slaves of suburbia
Chained by the cities
Trapped by illusion
We shattered the cage
Mocking the monsters
We slipped through their fingers
Hidden by silence
Unshackled by age
Don't go cried the creatures
You don't know what's out there
You'll drown in the tides
You'll be dashed on the rocks
Come with us we answered
In sweet liberation
We entered the slip-streams
And we were gone
On roads that were ancient
Forged by the Romans
Fired by freedom
We followed the sun
Shaded by castles
In luminous pastures
Aided by angels
We journeyed on
And then in the distance
Reflected by starlight
The gathering of spirits
A nation of elves
In love we were welcomed
Embraced and exalted
So many it seems like ourselves
We are one they cried
And we will vanquish evil's son they cried
Heed these words we are one they cried
I promised I'd always remember
And the sight of thirty thousand fires
Flared in the hills
The night that thirty thousand fires
Lit up the heavens
And when it was ended
The mystic amongst us
With a wave of his hand
He magicked us home
And on our return there
The monsters had risen
And conquered the world we had known
It's begun they cried
In the name of the evil one they cried
The death of love has begun they cried
But we had seen and knew better
The sight of thirty thousand fires
Flare in the hills
The night of thirty thousand fires
Chained by the cities
Trapped by illusion
We shattered the cage
Mocking the monsters
We slipped through their fingers
Hidden by silence
Unshackled by age
Don't go cried the creatures
You don't know what's out there
You'll drown in the tides
You'll be dashed on the rocks
Come with us we answered
In sweet liberation
We entered the slip-streams
And we were gone
On roads that were ancient
Forged by the Romans
Fired by freedom
We followed the sun
Shaded by castles
In luminous pastures
Aided by angels
We journeyed on
And then in the distance
Reflected by starlight
The gathering of spirits
A nation of elves
In love we were welcomed
Embraced and exalted
So many it seems like ourselves
We are one they cried
And we will vanquish evil's son they cried
Heed these words we are one they cried
I promised I'd always remember
And the sight of thirty thousand fires
