Symphony X - Accolade Ii lyrics

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
