Blind Guardian Follow

I'm not insane, that's how it seems though
Spiteful, cruel but wise
Beyond his age
My body fails, my soul will rise

The end of life's immortalized, disease and agony
And I see death through golden eyes
Beyond the door there's something more
It seems there's just one way

On through the heat
I've felt the touch of evil
I still feel the icy claw in me

For a descent price
I've banned kindness from my heart
The spirit of all truth and beauty
Pawned for my desire

And from the flames as chance would have it
The soulforged will come into light
And from the flames as chance would have it
The soulforged, the stainless will rise

I will never change my mind
I will leave it all behind

And through the hour glass
Everything's gray, everyone's pale
No color nor beauty
Will enlighten my heart

The seat of life's empty and cold
Cadaverous you all seem to me
Stillborn but you're still alive
You're still alive

Truth lies in loneliness
When hope is long gone by
I'll wipe out the bliss of the new age
And welcome you precious night

And from the flames as chance would have it
The soulforged will come into light
And from the flames as chance would have it
The soulforged, the stainless will rise

From a distant time
Voices echo in the hall
