Haggard - Awaking The Centuries lyrics

Awaking the Centuries In the books of what will be Written by the demon lord? Never lift your head up to the east 'cause darkness wakes the best! Der Kerzen Schein [The candles' light] Er leuchtet fahl [Is palely shining] Als das Sonnenlicht er stahl [When He stole the sunlight] Und nur das grosse Himmelszelt [And only the great sky's tent] Bezeugt das Ende dieser Welt [Is witness to the end of this world] So feed the spark Welcome to the land of dark d**h in all the centuries is what I left behind Take my hand Forgotten in the promised land d**h in all the centuries is what I left behind The knowledge, brought to the world Is growing with a bitter taste In a dream I saw things that will be Centuries away Des Mondes Schein [The moon's glow] Er leuchtet fahl [Is palely shining] Das Herz der Finsternis er stahl [He stole the Heart of Darkness] Nun glei?end Lichte ihn umgibt [Now glistening light surrounds him] Und doch des Menschen Hoffnung siegt...? [And so Man's hope prevails?] So feed the spark Welcome to the land of dark d**h in all the centuries is what I left behind Take my hand Forgotten in the promised land d**h in all the centuries is what I left behind The night when evil steps out of the dark And the cross is rising again And fires are keeping the light Burn, my friend... And the sign of humanity is burning tonight I can't escape from this ritual silence Humanity's burning tonight

When I open my eyes I see soldiers in the fields Dead bodies on the ground There are children inbetween Explosions shock the land And the evil shows its face The one called Hister rises This is the fall of grace... Beast ferocious from hunger will swim across rivers The greater part of the region will be against the Hister The great one will cause it to be dragged in an iron cage When the German child will observe nothing In the books of what will be Written by the demon lord? Never lift your head up to the east 'cause darkness wakes the best! Der Kerzen Schein [The candle light] Er leuchtet fahl [Is palely shining] Als das Sonnenlicht er stahl [When He stole the sunlight] Und nur das grosse Himmelszelt [And only the great sky's tent] Bezeugt das Ende dieser Welt [Is witness to the end of this world] So feed the spark Welcome to the land of dark d**h in all the centuries is what I left behind Take my hand Forgotten in the promised land d**h in all the centuries is what I left behind The knowledge, brought to the world Is growing with a bitter taste In a dream I saw things that will be Centuries away So feed the spark Welcome to the land of dark d**h in all the centuries is what I left behind Take my hand Forgotten in the promised land d**h in all the centuries is what I left behind And the sign of humanity is burning tonight I can't escape from this ritual silence Humanity's burning tonight
