Blind Guardian - The Tides of War

To Rate
Call the wind
I hail thee
But sail on through the storm
There's fire in my mind
Fire in my mind
Fire in my mind
Fire in my mind

There's no escape
And there's no return
The blood and smoke behind us
It's now out of sight
Tears you might be crying
But it's over now
For a higher cause
We've come
So just keep your hate alive

★ Chorus ★
The tides of war
The tides of war
We've come to face it
In these lands
We've come to face it
In these lands
The curse of Fëanor
Fëanor
No sorrow
No loss, I count the ones behind
Come follow
Don't turn your back
And let 'em whine

The grief is real
The pain I feel
It's not what I've been longing for
They shall be free
They'll be released
They can't get over the sea

They were following in vain
Burning vessels, burnin' hope
Needless baggage on the road
Let 'em curse me, let 'em blame

They may have faced
Their journey's end

Boats, at distant shore they burn
The wind still carries smoke
In Araman we've seen
Teleri's work on fire
Across the ice
Aflamed
To take revenge
Ashamed
Betrayed by the insane
Fëanor

You've gone too far
You've come to fail
Fëanor
All done in vain
By the oath
You delivered
Our doom

★ Chorus ★
The tides of war
The tides of war
We've come to face it
In these lands
We've come to face it
In these lands
The curse of Fëanor
Fëanor

★ Solo ★
Boats, at distant shore they burn
The wind still carries smoke
In Araman we've seen
Teleri's work on fire

Across the ice
Aflamed
To take revenge
Ashamed
Betrayed by the insane
Fëanor

We've gone too far
We've come to fail
Fëanor
Yet we have reached
The promised land
Oh, Fëanor

★ Chorus ★
The tides of war
The tides of war
We've come to face it
In these lands
We've come to face it
In these lands
The curse of Fëanor
Fëanor

Blind Guardian

Forming in the small German town of Krefeld, Blind Guardian perfected a fusion of gothic and fantasy-tinged European power metal with the velocity and technical precision of speed metal.

Members Hansi Kürsch (vocals, bass), Marcus Siepen (guitar), André Olbrich (guitar), and Thomen Stauch (drums) initially called themselves Lucifer’s Heritage, but elected to change it when a 1986 demo tape began to achieve underground popularity. They signed with the No Remorse label and issued Battalions of Fear in 1988, following it with Follow the Blind a year later, which helped make a name for the band in Japan.
Released in 1990, Tales from the Twilight World became an underground hit in Germany and led to a deal with that country’s division of Virgin Records; their major-label debut, Somewhere Far Beyond, was released in 1992. After 1993’s live Tokyo Tales, Blind Guardian hooked up with former Metallica producer Flemming Rasmussen for 1995’s Imaginations from the Other Side. Issued in 1996, The Forgotten Tales was a collection of covers and alternate versions, setting the stage for 1998’s Nightfall in Middle-Earth, a Tolkien-inspired concept album that finally became the band’s first American release a year later. Century Media began reissuing portions of the band’s back catalog in the U.S. the same year. In 2002, the band released A Night at the Opera, and followed up four years later with A Twist in the Myth. The German power metal quartet released its ninth studio album, At the Edge of Time, in 2010, followed by a compilation of re-recorded and remixed songs called Memories of a Time to Come in 2012. In 2015, the band returned with their tenth studio long-player, Beyond the Red Mirror, a concept album and sequel to 1995’s Imaginations from the Other Side. – Spotify
