Blind Guardian
Grand Parade (Alternate Version)
Let the games begin
Watch, my children
Watch them
They all have 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
Would he enter the door
We don't care anymore
There's no more Asylum
There is no Asylum
I would Break through
Now let me through
Try to break free
When you lose, it's gone forever
When you lose, it's gone forever
There's no harm
I will face my demons
Fear is not real
My will is strong
Walk on through
I face the tyrant
Stay where you are
Til the sealing is over
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
All traps are set
There is only one more
Even time stands still
Just one more door
How could you forget what you came for
There is only one door
Whatever they've offered resist it and enter the door
Now don't look down
It's all going down
The judges frown
Though nobody sounds
Mark the end
The new life will grow
You may cross the end
You should know
No more tears
It's done and it's over
The other one
The other one
The other one will come
Without a sound
It all will go down
All hail to the one
He shall better fail
He shall better fail
He shall better fail
Here again
Oh hail to the one
The one
Along with the shadows
They finally come
We are one
We're the nine
You're the last
The circle's now close here
Things may change
But stay the same
Welcome back
Ignore our warning
Stay where you are
Til the sealing is over
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
Now it all must burn
We have reached the end
Reach the end
Reach the end
Face the end
Sounds like a sermon no more
There is nothing as real as the end
I'm not real I'm a shadow
What you fear is a shadow
A shadow on the wall
Writhing proudly, I'm calling
Bring him down
Here comes the sun
Will we ever see
Will we ever see
Will we ever see with the damned
We are the ones
The chosen one
No Holy son
I'm all there is
There's nothing more
And I hold praise with every dying breath
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 what is this
One more twist
It's getting out of hand
And there is nothing we can do
You've solved this riddle but forevermore
You've murdered innocence
There's nothing left you'll see
There is no truth
It's life turned wicked and cruel
You'll be alone
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
Drown one more time
While we all will say goodbye
Bright it shines bright
Let us carry on the lie
No more lies, No more lies
No more lies, No more lies
One more lie
