Orion's Reign - Beyond Eternity Part 2 lyrics

Visions of glory lie ahead In my ears rings the king's old voice In exchange for eternity Your blood you have to sacrifice So many knights will fight for gold But I will fight just to be free Life is the mightiest God's gift And living is courage's deed The battle raging on all sides The butchered men in dying screams The blood is painting my calves red Who can find God in all of this My cries now wet my bloody face As I walk forth and cleave brave men Man k**ing man for power and gold I look around with blackened soul Over and over memories fly Like fervidly rainbows they colour my mind They bring me to my knighting day When I was given spurs and name But there I find a dangerous oath That I spoke up so long ago It spoke of servitude to a man The man who now led us to war To hold my oath I cannot skip But why do men swear vulgar oaths That keep them from correct results When their life they try to decide From birth I swore to serve a King How can I serve a second one He granted me a life to live And everyone has the same right Keep your blood in you Stay alive will you Fight with d**h if you Have guts left you will The arrow fire still decimates But finally we win the day The ironclad buffoons now smile They fight to fight, not when it's right I boldly step to meet the king I tell him that my duty's done My country now has been secured But further on it is his war Possession is the cause of war Defence and war two different things How could I mix them in the start The one protects, the other k**s I ride up to a lonely hill I see the battlefield dyed red Horizons open wide ahead I'm not there now – I'm somewhere else!
