Evening Star
Dragonforce [eternity-rock.blogspot.com] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We will sail on, forever on
To the land of the evening star

Into the endless we ride
Unveil the darkness behind
Abandoned glory hidden, castaway we ride
Now will the sky surrender?
Forever through the never
A silent whisper echoes through my restless heart tonight

And I will see the glory rise
We'll be one tonight
Don't you shut your eyes in silence
Tonight gather near, come and live your fear

In a land of desire, your heart filled with fire
You live for the right to be free
We will sail on, forever on
To the land of the evening star
In a land of desire, your heart filled with fire
The land of the evening star

Now and forever after
Asylums filled with laughter
Suspicion haunts my dreams
An echo through my mind

This starlit gaze reminds me
Are you so blind you can't see?
The winds of change my friend
Will blow for you in the dead of night

And I will see glory rise
We'll be one tonight
Don't you shut your eyes in silence
Tonight gather near, come and live your fear

In a land of desire, your heart filled with fire
You live for the right to be free
We will sail on, forever on
To the land of the evening star
In a land of desire, your heart filled with fire
The land of the evening star

In a land of desire, your heart filled with fire
You live for the right to be free
We will sail on, forever on
To the land of the evening star
In a land of desire, your heart filled with fire
The land of the evening star





In a land of desire, your heart filled with fire
The land of the evening star

The forces of alteration, my companion


Will blow for you in the dead of night
Will come to you in the middle of the night


The land of the evening star
The place identified by the evening star

I thought stars usually took hundreds of years to be visible on Earth, but this song only took 20 years to get uploaded

GuretoSefirosu

It had been uploaded but the original was remvoed a while back. This is a remaster. I have all of the original albums on CD, ripped to FLAC. Love the old ones.

@Seething Simp Can’t read a question without a question mark? That’s pretty sad man
