Duel of Fates

On Dark Wings
the Night is nearing
Ancient times
awake the Forgotten Story
of a Brave Warrior

He sees his Enemy
The one he's always waited for
he raises his Sword
let the Battle begin

The Duel of Fates
The Iron in his Flesh
Rivers of Blood
He sees his Enemy fall

Overwhelmed by Victory
he wants to see him
for the last time
to Remember his Dying face

He lifts his Helmet
he is in Disbelief
the sight before his Eyes
his Enemy – his Love

The weak Smile on Her face
her Cold body is abandoned by Life
the Eyes of an Angel
never shed Tears

You fought your Illusion
of everlasting Love
You were Bewitched
by your own Ego
Insanity awaits Thee
