with thunder and lightning the dark lord is taking
the crown of the whole world
his creatures will kill me and poisons my soul
to the end I'll fight

Verse2

that I do are so meaningless - Oh no
I see the hill but it's so far away
I know I can't reach it
but I try it again and again in my dark dreams
he's wasting my last will how long can I stay here
when the mightiest of all will now

Chorus 1
Run for the Night burn away

to the end I'll fight
