Ready for the enemy hungry for the battle Fighting hard for victory in the army of the king
Armed with shield and sword we mounted our horses Leaving on a sacred quest On our way to fight the holy war
They attacked from different sides Hard pressed with numbers Could not even run nor hide We had to stand and fight Then I felt a blade of steel Penetrate my armor I did not dream the pain was real As I went down I knew my time had come
And then he rode into the night Towards that eerie distant light That seemed to charm him Until he came to a road that disappeared Beyond the last horizon He knew there'd be no way back Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity And so he gathered all his strength not to descend Into the valley of death Into the valley of death
I opened up my weary eyes The haze slowly lifted The mighty roar of battlecries Stopped ringing in my ears I gazed upon a friendly face He carried me to safety I told him of this frightening place And of my journey back from the other side
And then he rode into the night Towards that eerie distant light That seemed to charm him Until he came to a road that disappeared Beyond the last horizon He knew there'd be no way back Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity And so he gathered all his strength not to descend Into the valley of death Into the valley of death
And then he rode into the night Towards that eerie distant light That seemed to charm him A force so seductive And yet so destructive and cruel Until he came to a road that disappeared Beyond the last horizon He knew there'd be no way back Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity And so he gathered all his strength not to descend Into the valley of death Into the valley of death
I followed that road to the edge of eternity He knew there'd be no way back Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity
I fought for my life For I had to survive the ordeal
And so he gathered all his strength Not to descend into the valley of death Into the valley of death
