A Thousand Towers White Lyrics - Under The Grey Banner - Dragonland

["The coast of the Southlands stretches countless miles, with jagged rocks like a Dragon's teeth, hopeless marshlands and many pirate coves of sea-borne bandits. But such was not the sight that the Islander saw when he finally laid his weary eyes upon dry land. The fabled beaches just a day's ride south of Westmar with their soft dunes seemed so much like those he had left at home, or even of the Ivory Shores which his uncle had once seen in his youth. Utterly exhausted when he touched upon firm ground and still mourning his lost friends, he could still barely contain himself. For he was well aware what mighty a sight and many-spired radiancy that lay to the north; the jewel of the west, the pride of men - the Royal City of Westmar"] 

I raise up my head and gaze upon silvery seashores 

with the sand on my feet and with the sun on my back 

For days the coast leads my journey shining in the misty dew I see 

There, a thousand spires 

Glowing like fire in the sun 

I see them rising o'er these open plains 

And I know I shall remember forever 

how I saw a thousand towers white 

When young I was told 

Of a city of might and of honour 

An empire's crown, as powerful as it was feared 

And now as I stand before her 

I set my eyes upon a waking dream 

There, a thousand spires 

Gleaming like ice in the sun 

I see them rising o'er these open plains 

And I know I shall remember forever 

how I saw a thousand towers white 

Mirrorlike gates stretch before me 

blazing serene in the dawn 

Split open for vast lines of many men 

I gaze beyond in bewilderment 

Shattered hearts and dreams 

crushed by grievous tyranny 

Crumbling homes and screams 

among corrupted industry 

[Solo: Mrck] 

A sinister reign 

brother is turned against brother 

irrational fear enslaved the dwarves and the elves 

What lies beyond such opression? 

shining towers cast a shade on me 

There, a thousand spires 

Glowing like fire in the sun 

but I see no honour in these broken men 

yet I know I will remember forever 

how I saw a thousand towers white
