DRAGONFORCE
"The Edge Of The World"
(Marc Hudson / Frederic LeClercq / Herman Li / Vadim Pruzhanov / Sam Totman)

[Intro:]
In times of fear and mystery, when the gods had ruled the earth
Sound the bells of victory, the sign of our rebirth
How many died in vain, like waves against the shore
No one hears their whispers anymore

Lost, like the hope in the battle we fought
Through the cold and the rain
Gone, like the years in the shadows and pain, unknown

[Pre-Chorus:]
I've seen through the eyes of the dead
And suffered for them time and again
Granted with immortality
The price for the savior of humanity

[Chorus:]
Rise from the ashes of mankind
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world

Long is the journey, oh, long is the road
As the sun rises over the world
The quest is hard 'til the battle can end
But I have the power in my hands

[Pre-Chorus:]
I've seen through the eyes of the dead
And suffered for them time and again
Granted with immortality
The price of eternity for the chosen one

[Chorus:]
Rise from the ashes of mankind
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge:]
Honor, the god of Enlil
Silence for the beast is now the prey
Denied a chance for life
I take back that what is mine
Die

Wrath, we rule the skies
May the rain cleanse and wash away
Imperfect, these creations of mine
Corrupted by greed, they shall pay

Chosen, saved from death's embrace
One last chance for man to change his ways
Deified, a place amongst the gods
Saved from mankind's own demise

[Chorus:]
Rise from the ashes of mankind
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world
From the ashes of mankind
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world

[Outro:]
At the end of the journey for the savior of the earth
Sound the bells of victory through the signs of our rebirth
As the shadows fade away, we watch the new sun rise
No one fears the darkness anymore
