Symphony X - Accolade Ii - Текст песни

Lyrics to Accolade II :

On a cold and misty night, 
a ring of torches light the hallowed ground 
where his father's laid to rest 

In the reflection of a sword 
he sees his destiny and he swears up to the sky - 
"You will not have died in vain" 

On the field - with sword and shield 
amidst the din of dying man's wails 
War is waged - and the battle will rage 
until only the righteous prevail 

From the shadows comes a man, 
returning to his land - Winds of change 
taint the sweet smell of home 

And all around him, he can see 
the pain and misery 
this tyrant's reign is through 
"I will stand and fight... Will you?" 

A heart of gold pumps within his metal skin 
A noble line he carries on 

On the field - with sword and shield 
amidst the din of dying man's wails 
War is waged - and the battle will rage 
until only the righteous prevail 

I wish to stay...to be here with you 
You were my strength...How can I go on? 

On the field - with sword and shield 
amidst the din of dying man's wails 
War is waged - and the battle will rage 
until only the righteous prevail
