I have seen the kingdom vile Where flames scorch the blackened sky I saw this land of freezing dreams In my dreams I flew with shadow wings And I have seen a king arise He rode in flames throughout the sky This was a forsooth the one fortold His face was veiled in dust and rime I saw this vision In my dreams Where the fallen seems to rise again On through the night I saw him ride He owned the sky And his pride burned bright And the dragon - whispered cold Like a wind from the north He opened gates - since aeons closed And told me when twilight shall come I have seen the kingdom vile Where flames scorch the blackened sky I saw this land of freezing dreams In my dreams I flew with shadow wings And I have seen a king arise He rode in flames throughout the sky This was a forsooth the one fortold His face was veiled in dust and rime This night of mourning winds The serpent spread his wings His eyes shone like the moon "Be on with me", he droned And through this forlorn night A choir of doom was heard The dragon rode the wind And I was one with him With shadow wings - I rule the sky For aeons till eternity I'll break the world and challenge god My sword is hunger, plague and sin I knew my fate was written in the flames Of the sky, in the fire of his eyes In the flames of the dragon's burning eyes The vision was crystal clear And yes, I felt the winds The winds of time, for me they blew cold And the dragon rode these winds He flew through time, with shadow wings
