Blind Guardian - The Script for My Requiem

Hallowed be the richer land
God, he knows how long I've stayed away
From here there's no way back
To my own world of disease
I still here you cry out
From the old cellar tonight

Reading the rune of medieval
The inner voice stops never asking why
I came from nowhere. The bringer of a new age's gone
Don't fear my evil. Fate, so God, please lead me through

Forgottеn realms of golden days come truе on armory
I'll finish what I started once. My body beam again
So I'm falling down

Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
The jester's tears, they are inside me
Agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
Is the script already written?
Jester's tears I cry
Yes, I cry

Oh, I'll once feel the pain of their attack
Believing the runes, that I'd be back
(Divided she's brought against the evil?)
(Divided she'd burn against the evil?)
(We violate his birth against the evil?)
The mad crops enthralled by another god
Come, torment, taste my last revenge
I can't fail

I can feel the pain of thousands
Crucify, crucify
Bring us back medieval centuries
Without you we all have to die
Save us from the evil storm
You know the answers, come save us tonight

Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
The jester's tears, they are inside me
Agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
Is the script already written?
Jester's tears I cry
Yes, I cry

Battle rages higher and higher
Akron starts to feel my hate
There's no escaping for the dark souls
I can't control anymore, anymore
What started in the underworld
It should be finished here and now

I know his tricks, black magic power
But now it's time for him to say goodbye
There's only one thing left, the dawn shall arrive
We've got to get it past, fear the dark side
Turn off his light
Turn off his light

Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
The jester's tears, they are inside me
Agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
Is the script already written?
Jester's tears I cry
Yes, I cry

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
