Chill and grim, the coming dawn   Seems a century away   For mist and dark first brought them here   And in dark and mist they slay      Arrows arching through the night   Bring flame within our walls   And spells they've sent to steal our souls   Hold many here in thrall      [Chorus]   Night is a fantasy take it away   Metal's unreal in the morning   These five million warriors    Belong in a dream   You'll wake up if you scream out a warning   Night siege      So chill and grim, the castle now   Our prison and our grave   Yet, surely dawn will slay these fiends   If it comes in time to save      [repeat chorus twice]
