Lyrics:



Part One



Time stands still in this ancient halls

Only the castle itself, can tell what it keeps

Dark are the secrets, between these walls

hidden in shadows of death, while the sorcerer sleeps



Where is the morning?

Where is the sun?

A thousand years of midnight

The sunrise is gone



An old man marked by a life so long

His sleep is so sweet while his magic, is growing so strong

Waiting still for new times to come

A thousand years to see, if he has won



Where is the morning?

Where is the sun?

A thousand years of midnight

The sunrise is gone



Part Two



What has he done?

Why is he sleeping so long?

He wants to live, for evermore!



Soon is he young

When will he open his eyes?

When he is strong enough to rule



Chorus

Back in our time goes the legend

of a sorcerer so old,

He drank the blood of the virgin, to be reborn

Soon a tyrant will conquer

so spoke the wise

of the day when the sorcerer, will rise!



Blood is his wine

the sorcerer is cheating on time

and he'll be stronger than before



Cursed be the sun,

the women will weep for his fun

in the name of his magic so strong



Part Three



A thousand years had gone,

Armageddon hasnt come

Only the cry of a child, echoes in the dark



Backwards goes time

as the stars are passing by

Nothing remains of this foolish man, except his fate
