Woorden: Symphony X. The Odyssey. Accolade II.

On a cold and misty night,
a ring of torches light the hallowed ground

In the reflection of a sword
where his father's laid to rest
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
until only the righteous prevail
amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged - and the battle will rage
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
"I will stand and fight... Will you?"
the pain and misery

A heart of gold pumps within his metal skin

this tyrant's reign is through
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
