Ready for the enemy   Hungry for the battle   Fighting hard for victory   In the army of the king   Armed with shield and sword   We mounted our horses   Leaving on a sacred quest   On our way to fight the holy war      They attacked from different sides Hard pressed with numbers   We could not even run nor hide   We had to stand and fight   Then I felt a blade of steel   Penetrate my armour   I did not dream the pain was real   As I went down I knew my time   Had come       And then he rode into the night Towards that eerie distant light   That seemed to charm him   Until he came to a road that Disappeared beyond the last horizon      He knew there'd be no way back   Once he had vanished in the Blackness of Infinity   And so he gathered all his strength   Not to descend into the valley of death Into the valley of death      I opened up my weary eyes   The haze slowly lifted   The mighty roar of battlecries   Stopped ringing in my ears   I gazed upon a friendly face   He carried me to safety   I told him of this frightening place and Of my journey back from the other side      And then they rode into the night Towards that eerie distant light that Seemed to charm him   A force so seductive and yet so Destructive and cruel   Until he came to a road that Disappeared beyond the last horizon      He knew there'd be no way back   Once he had vanished in the Blackness of infinity      And so he gathered all his strength Not to descend into the valley of death into the valley of   death    I followed that road to the edge of Eternity he knew there'd be no way Back once he had   vanished in the Blackness of infinity   I fought for my life for I had to survive The ordeal   And so he gathered all his strength Not to descend into the valley of death Into the valley of   death
