[Verse 1]

Once long ago

A time to be free

The flag on the fortress

Proud for all to see

In a land where blades grow dull

And armor left to rust

Heroes will fight for all

Righteous and just

[Pre-Chorus]

And now

Under the raging thunderstorm

Caught in the icy rain

Rise

March into a battle again

[Chorus]

Tell me you won't go

Say it can't be so

You've seen it all a thousand times

An army left to die

Lost in wonder in a sea of stars

Here and now

Rise and fall

One last time! (Time!)

[Verse 2]

In from the cold

And in from the dark

Scholars of the ages

Seers of beyond

And the prophecy was told

The words on the stone

Heroes will stand before

Demons alone

[Pre-Chorus]

And now

Under the grey skies, falling down

Falling down in the rain

Rise

March into your battle again

[Chorus]

Tell me you won't go

Say it can't be so

You've seen it all a thousand times

An army left to die

Lost in wonder in a sea of stars

Here and now

Rise and fall

One last time!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Rising from the ashes like a Phoenix

Fighting back the reason that you know

Seek all the answers you desire

Storming through the wind and ice and snow

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

Under the grey skies, falling down

Falling down in the rain

Rise

March into your battle again

[Chorus]

Tell me you won't go

Say it can't be so

You've seen it all a thousand times

An army left to die

Lost in wonder in a sea of starlight

Here and now

Rise and fall

One last time!
