Darkness Takes Hold Lyrics


Hundreds of years ago, when the land was in turmoil,

Three ruthless factions, fighting for control,

The people lived in fear, afraid their time was near,

Then one man rose above

Where they came from no one’s quite sure,

Beyond the red mountains or across the great moor,

With a holy army, powers from gods above,

They gathered their forces, and launched their attack,

The struggle of good versus evil is endless,

We become as pawns in the games,

Like the sun in a winter storm it’s still there,

But concealed for us all

Our fires put out by the frost in our souls

Soon darkness takes its hold

And when the sun finally appears again

There’s not much left to be saved

He was the saviour, sent from the gods

He became the king, messiah of our time

Seizing all the lands, uniting them as one

Sparking new life into old gods

The struggle of good versus evil is endless,

We become as pawns in the games,

Like the sun in a winter storm it’s still there,

But concealed for us all

Our fires put out by the frost in our souls

Soon darkness takes its hold

And when the sun finally appears again

There’s not much left to be saved

Losing sight, lost the path

Holy light extinguished

You must obey or face the wrath

Their shining ambition diminished

Taking life, murderers

With black magic powers

Iron fist, controlling our lives

From the top of their towers

Fiends from hell, new nobility

They command our domain

They claimed our, dark reality

And now he begins his reign

His REIGN!

Purity of mind, nothing of such kind

A violation of innocence was proof of his wickedness

No one witnessed his monstrous act,

She was so innocent, he couldn't care less of the fact

Now her spark is lost, but a new one created

Her heart covered in frost and filled with hatred

Purity of mind, nothing of such kind

A violation of innocence was proof of his wickedness

One fateful night, the planets were aligned

The time was right, the sky full of signs

She knew the child was important, it had to live

She kept the child hidden the king could never know

The struggle of good versus evil is endless,

We become as pawns in the games

Like the sun in a winter storm it’s still there

But concealed for us all

Our fires put out by the frost in our souls

It won’t ever leave us whole

And when the sun finally appears again

There’s not much left to be saved
