Battlefield Lyrics - Blind Guardian

It cannot be seen 

But there's blood on the green 

Only god knows I'm innocent 

Take me, take me home 

A dark seed reigns in me 

Like the storm rules over the sea 

I challenge thee, do not cross this bridge alone 

Don't dare me now 

The threatening shadows will pass by 

There're getting closer now 

Open your eyes 

Wake up my dear young friend 

And hate shall fade away 

I will not move, yet 

I'll stand still, instead 

There on the battlefield he stands 

Down on the battlefield he's lost 

And on the battlefield it ends 

War and anger shall reign 

The clash of iron can be heard 

By blindness you're driven insane 

I'm lost in anguish and grief 

Sorrow won't wane 'til you die 

A shattered body deeply hurt 

And darkness will cover the light 

It's gone forevermore 

The field's been left in sorrow 

The father and the son 

They're gone 

The sun shines bright 

And anger rises 

Lorn and lonely 

Torn apart 

Don't you think 

It's time to stop now 

We were charmed and fooled by the old serpent's kiss 

Let's pray 

That heaven is on our side 

Through violence and horror 

Shall honour arise 

So let's pray 

And blessed shall be our leader 

We follow the noble and bright 

Don't you hear me crying 

Crying 

Come take me away 

I hallow thy name 

There on the battlefield he stands 

Down on the battlefield he's lost 

And on the battlefield it ends 

War and anger shall reign 

The clash of iron can be heard 

By blindness you're driven insane 

I'm lost in anguish and grief 

Sorrow won't wane 'til you die 

A shattered body deeply hurt 

And darkness will cover the light 

It's gone forevermore 

That's what minstrel sing 

Join in the horrible screams 

Take part in murderous deeds 

renowned be the lion-hearted 

Join in the minstrelsy 

Wailing in endless grief 

It eagerly longs for more 

Broken bodies lay down on the ground 

Blood sheds all over the place 

The green will be stained forever 

And hate reigns all over the field 

They keep struggling on in anger 

Fiercely intense 

Outrageous, too blind to see 

And in pain they keep on singing 

We claim the land for the highlord 

God bless the land and our highlord 

War and anger shall reign 

The clash of iron can be heard 

By blindness you're driven insane 

I'm lost in anguish and grief 

Sorrow won't wane 'til you die 

A shattered body deeply hurt 

And darkness will cover the light 

It's gone forevermore
