Skalds And Shadows

by Blind Guardian

Would you believe in a night like this?

A night like this, when visions come true

Would you believe in a tale like this

A lay of bliss, praising the old lore

Come to the blazing fire and

See me in the shadows

See me in the shadows

Songs I will sing of runes and rings

Just hand me my harp, this night turns into myth

Nothing seems real, you soon will feel

The world we live in is another skalds

Dream in the shadows

Dream in the shadows

Do you believe there is sense in it

Is it truth or myth, they're one in my rhymes

Nobody knows the meaning behind

The weaver's line, well, nobody else

But the Norns can see
Through the blazing fires of time

And all things will proceed

As the child of the hallowed

Will speak to you now

See me in the shadows

See me in the shadows

Songs I will sing of tribes and kings

The carrion bird and the hall of the slain

Nothing seems real, you soon will feel

The world we live in is another skalds

Dream in the shadows

Dream in the shadows

Do not fear for my reason, there's nothing to hide

How bitter your treason, how bitter the lie

Remember the runes and remember the light

All I ever want is to be at your side

We'll gladden the raven, now I will

Run through the blazing fires, that's my choice

'Cause things shall proceed as foreseen
