Rise Against the Dark Legions Lyrics


The tales of my journeys

Spread apart around the folk

Across the lands in glamour

Yet I still wander in solitude

Years have passed away

Since my last struggle

Since the last shed of blood

Since the time of violence

Yet, I sense a new darkness

Creeping from outside the forest

A foreign power of devilry

Slowly taking the forest's life

In the nocturne and light I guarded

The vast crowds of trees and hills

Each passing day, the trees grew grim

Mother nature's voice slowly fading

It was not long before each leaf has fallen

From the tall trees that were all once lively

The daylight sky above almost dark as night

Distances covered in a gloomy fog

It was time to go on a new journey

A quest to defeat the cause of this death

And so I wandered through the dead forest's paths

Filled with dread, as I saw nature's death before my own eyes

From a lively green to a grim and grey darkness

The power within my blade now dying with nature

Reduced to a mere worn and old blade

The steel armor I wore rusting away

Yearning to be in total glory again

Yet I had to face the darkness soon

Seven moons pass by, the power within me had dimmed

Fragile and frail again, like a flawed mortal human

I wandered through lifeless lands, the beauty of life in demise

Passing through kingdoms that had fallen into chaos and disorder

A deathly famine unleashed upon kingdoms

Dark legions had risen from the depths of eternal fire

A legion of creatures birthed from an infinity of torture

Chanting cursed spells of apocalyptic power

Oh how dread filled me to the brim of my soul

Yet light still persists in my heart of bravery

I held on to the last bits of valor I had

To convince the men in utter fear to fight for their world

With the last courage left within me

I called out to the kings of this land

To march together and go against evil itself

Together they raised their swords

And let out a cry of might

They marched through thick and thin

Ten thousand brave warriors

Their gear clashing against each other

Singing ancient battle hymns

As they go on their last journey

Horses neighing in courage and fear

Heading onwards to infernal fire

Galloping through fields of ruins
