Gaze upon the stake

Flames will soon start to embrace

Condemned, auto da fé

She's about to fall from grace

In the land of the rising sun

Shadows are falling again

The die is cast, the future and past

Coming to her at last

Oh, oh, oh

All she needed was a champion

Oh, oh, oh

Crying for a saviour to fight for her life

Behold, the freedom cries

By the dying of the light

Too late to justify

For vindication upon this night

In the land of the rising sun

Shadows are falling again

From out of nowhere, a rider declared

To answer her final prayer

Oh, oh, oh

He stood up to be the champion

Oh, oh, oh

He became the saviour that fought for her life

Face to face, eye to eye

The saviour fought to save her pride

Far beyond the starlit skies, the encounter went on

Gaze upon the stake

As the flames start to embrace

A life, an act of faith

Long-lost gone without a trace

In the land of the rising sun

Shadows are falling again

The die is cast for the future and past

Came for her at last

Oh, oh, oh

All she needed was a champion

Oh, oh, oh

Crying for a saviour to fight for her

Oh, oh, oh

He stood up to be the champion

Oh, oh, oh

He became the saviour that fought for her life

For her life

She needed a champion

For her life
