Blind Guardian - Violent Shadows

Don't turn away, don't close your eyes, send forth mine
Will you protect the light, reflect and shine?
That's your choice.
They're headed straight into the nation for another god
It needs a lionheart. It needs a pure soul, or we're condemned

I will not surrender, let it be. I will not surrender.

Now bring me your sacraments and death will not complain about it
Cry, it makes no difference (no difference)

That's why we should never cross the water
We run into the raging storm
Hatred's never ending

Take us to break free, Skydancer
Down where the violent shadows breed
Hide in the underworld, Skydancer
Hide where the violent shadows breed

Calm your pride, young slave - obey your master.
It's all I can teach - obey your master

Now bring me your sacraments and death will not complain about it
Cry, it makes no difference (no difference)

Calm down and believe it, now bring your precious daughter
"Get out!" we shout and believe it.
Now listen and...

Take us to break free, Skydancer
Down where the violent shadows breed
Hide in the underworld, Skydancer
Hide where the violent shadows breed

Now bring me your sacraments and death will not complain about it
Cry, it makes no difference (no difference)

The bridgemen shall never cross the border
Now come and face the raging storm
Hate, it's never ending

Take us to break free, Skydancer
Down where the violent shadows breed
Hide in the underworld, Skydancer
Hide where the violent shadows breed

In violent shadows, we're all condemned
