Tale of the Copper Guard Lyrics


The people of Triman with weapons gathering

Rising against the rule of an oppressing king

They will not back down they will demand their right

Against them the king his soldiers sends to fight

The sun god’s sign burning on my shield

As I charge over the battlefield

The next in line to the throne of Triman

I challenge the king’s leading knight

To settle this war in a one on one fight

To end this battle before it has begun

The war still rages on fuelled by people’s hate

Finally, we break through the king’s castle’s gate

The king has now no choice, his power is lost

The people have won, but to what a cost?

I will give up my claim to the throne

To prevent any king from ruling alone

That neither side in this war should rule this kingdom

The princess as new ruler is named

To settle the dispute that so many lives claimed

A council is made to guarantee the people’s freedom

The king ponders on his throne, dark thoughts on his mind

Secret of eternal life the king desires to find

Sorcerers he gathers to cast an ancient spell

Opening a portal into the depths of hell

To gain life eternal his daughter’s soul he’ll sell

Demons enter the king’s realm to take her through the gate

No one her can save now, her father sealed her fate

With drawn sword I charge, demons I don’t fear

They fall for my blade: victory is near

Through the gate of hell the princess disappears

All hope gone, the princess lost,

her soul damned forever

Only hope is now to go

to hell to retrieve her

To the ancient monastery

Sviatogor I’ll travel

Beg the copper guard to send

me to realm of evil

I must pass all of their tests

Prove my soul and mind

To be worthy them to join

And the princess to find

Copper knight they me proclaim

Sealed is now my fate

They cast spells me to conceal

And to open hells gate

Serpens, serpens niger

Homines servos

Suos creavit

Serpens, serpens niger

Homines servos

Suos creavit

Demons all around me as I hide in plain sight

The princess I search for to save her from her plight

Pits where souls are tortured for eternity

How can I pass them without sympathy?

Break the gates I set the sinners free!

Demons fighting sinners: chaos all around

After endless search the princess I’ve found

In a silver cage a many coloured light

Her innocent soul here is shining bright

I charge with drawn sword her guards to fight

A mere man over hell’s might

Victorious I now stand

A bright light surrounds us both

As I take her hand

We rise up to heaven’s gate

I can’t enter with her

I’m sent back to Sviatogor

My time not yet over
