I searched for a woman But found only girls And searched for a wise man But found only fools Flew the greatest heights Suffered the greatest fall But it's only when it's said and done We ever see at all Wasted days taming wolves But I found only dogs are left in this world We run from our shadows Into the hands of false gods Death plays the tune and we dance to her song I can feel the time has come To stop with words and take up the sword Let heroes arise, and hear the call of the gods Invoking the first to bring on the last What's to come I can see in the past Let heroes arise To the call of the gods For beauty and youth And a treasure of lies You gave up your honour, a compulsion to suicide Surrendered ya truth and you've already died For a man without honour has nothing left to lose Ya sold ya soul And you've nothing left to sell No saving grace on your death knell So here we stand on the edge of the mirror On shifting sands staring at forever And I crossed the ocean wide Across the great divide And heard the wolves were howling And I watched the world go by I stood alone too long And saw the tide was rising And I draped myself in black And sung the funeral chant And I, I bid my last farewell 'cause the way ahead Will lead you all to hell
