Open your eyes, from darkest dreams and heed the warning
You've traveled years and distances from depths to be reborn
With all your questions that will never see an answer
All wasted time and s***e for yet a lonesome necromancer
Open the gates to halls where mighty kings have dwelled
You brought the trophies back from heaven, earth and hell
What lies beneath and waiting, calling for your soul
In dark and dim cathedrals - the architects of doom
The roads we traveled
The fabrics and the mysteries of life will soon unravel
So open up your fearless eyes as we plunge into the darkest night
Tired of the road
The fears and the forest ghosts
Shadows that pass in the night
Tied to that road
All dark and dreary miles from home
And all those fair ladies long and lost
If ever I would trade to see your face for the power & the glory
I'm just a brick in this story of bloodshed and tears
Lost in the years in solitude
Tied to the road
You sleep with half open eyes
A minstrel with no songs to sing
If ever I would trade to see your face for the power & the glory
I'm just a brick in this story of bloodshed and tears
Lost in the years in solitude
The roads we traveled
The fabrics and the mysteries of life will soon unravel
So open up your fearless eyes as we plunge into the darkest night
The darkest night
The forest runs deep
Once in there, there's no escape
On horseback in nights without end
Tied to that road
All dark and dreary miles from home
And all those fair ladies of my youth
If ever I would trade to see your face for the power & the glory
I'm just a brick in this story of bloodshed and tears
Lost in the years in solitude
The roads we traveled
The fabrics and the mysteries of life will soon unravel
So open up your fearless eyes and we plunge into the darkest night
The darkest night
You've traveled years and distances from depths to be reborn
With all your questions that will never see an answer
