Blind Guardian
Grand Parade
[Verse 1]
Let this game begin
Watch, my children
Watch me
You've all come to die
For this battle is lost
Lost
Losing their minds
Losing their souls
Hush, now hush
We don't talk
We don't care anymore
I will seal every door
We don't care anymore
I summon the Nine now
Confirm the alignment
Can I get through?
Carry on, you fools
Try to break free
When we fail
It's lost forever
When we fail
It's lost forever
It's not real, no reason to be here
No more fear and no more regrets
Don't look back and free your mind
Stay where you are till the sealing is over
[Chorus]
Say goodbye, my friend
Here's your promised end
Be a part of the grand parade
Along we're driven
On and on, it's a grand parade
We're one, we're so sorry to say
It's all the same, you will see
On this grand parade
Damnation
Now join the grand parade
[Verse 2]
Don't be upset
I will seal every door
Every now and then
Seal every door
They'll try to awake the misguided
I will seal every door
The voices you'll hear
They will claim to be real
It's not true
Now look around
We will bring them down
The more I'll show
The less you will know
The Nine will frown
Now see how it grows
Secretly my vision comes true
It's not real
You'll hear it, you'll see it
The otherworld
The otherworld
The otherworld appears
Now round and round
We all shall lose ground
Now praise, I'm the one
We will never fear
We will never fear
We will never fear them again
Oh and here comes the son, the son
He's gone with the shadows
Along with the stars
No more gods, no more lies
No more gods, no war
We'll be free here, we are one
Our will is strong
No more lies and no more tyrants
It all becomes real when the sealing is over
[Chorus]
Say goodbye, my friend
Here's your promised end
Be a part of the grand parade
Along we're driven
On and on, it's a grand parade
We're one, we're so sorry to say
It's all the same, you will see
On this grand parade
Damnation
Now join the grand parade
[Verse 3]
There is no return
It would be the end
We shall sing, we shall sing
Praise the day
Void
We don't fear you no more
Mother void
You can't enter no more
We don't need any hallows
We don't fear any shadows
Shadows on the wall
They're not real
Now, walk in, everyone
Here comes the sun
We will never fall
We will never fall
We will never see him again
Many
We're one
We're humanized
The time has come
This flesh is truth
This blood is real
The highest cause
It's all that we are longing for
There on the river Styx
You'll see, my friend
There on the river Styx
You'll see
They've fooled you to take it away
So no more myths
No more bliss
We are holding it in our hand
And there is nothing they can do
And so this battle ends forevermore
We don't fear anything
Nor any other race
We take control
No longer we act like fools
We're in control
[Chorus]
Say goodbye, my friend
Here's your promised end
Be a part of the grand parade
Along we're driven
On and on, it's a grand parade
We're one, we're so sorry to say
It's all the same, you will see
On this grand parade
Damnation
Now join the grand parade
[Outro]
Drown one more time
While we all will say goodbye
Bright, it shines bright
Let us carry one the lie
No more lies, all a lie
One more lie
