Through the Fire and Flames
Dragon Force Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On a cold winter of morning,
In the time before the light.
In flames of death's eternal reign,
We ride towards the fight.

When the darkness is falling down
And the times are tough all right.
The sound of evil laughter,
Falls around the world tonight.

Fightin' hard, fightin' on for the steel,
Through the wastelands evermore.
The skeletors souls will feel the hell,
Bodies wasted on the shores.

On the blackest wings in hell's domain,
We watch the lands become.
In fire and flame, and once again we know.

So now we're flying we're free,
We're free before the thunderstorm.
On towards the wilderness,
Our quest carries on.

Far beyond the sun down, far beyond the moonlight.
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls.

So far away we wait for the day,
For the light source so wasted and gone.
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days,
Through the fire and flames we carry on!

As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky.
They'll raise their hands
To the heavens above
Who descend unto their lies.

Running back through the mid morning light,
There's a burning in my heart.
We're banished from the time in the foreign land,
To a light beyond the stars.

In your blackest dreams see to the need, that destiny is tied.
And endlessly we're roaming free tonight.

And on the wings of a dream so far beyond reality.
All alone in desperation, now the time has gone.
Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind,
Day after day this misery must go on.

So far away we wait for the day,
For the light source so wasted and gone.
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days,
Through the fire and flames we carry on!

(Whoa's)

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands.
We fought so hard, now can we understand.
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can,
For freedom of every man.

So far away we wait for the day,
For the light source so wasted and gone.




We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days,
Through the fire and flames we carry on!
