Haggard - Awaking The Centuries Lyrics

In the books of what will be
Written by the demon Lord?
Never lift your head up to the east
'Cause darkness wakes the best

Der Kerzen Schein Er leuchtet fahl
Als das Sonnenlicht er stahl
Und nur das grosse Himmelszelt
Bezeugt das Ende dieser Welt

So feed the spark, welcome to the land of dark
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
Take my hand, forgotten in the promised land
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind

The knowledge brought to the world
Growing with a bitter taste
In a dream I saw things that will be
Centuries away

Des Mondes Schein Er leuchtet fahl
Das Herz der Finsternis er stahl
Nun glei_end Lichte ihn umgibt
Und doch des Menschen Hoffnung siegt?

So feed the spark, welcome to the land of dark
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
Take my hand, forgotten in the promised land
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind

The night when evil steps out of the dark
And the cross is rising again
And fires are keeping the light
Burn, my friend

And the sign of humanity is burning tonight
I can't escape from this ritual silence
Humanity's burning tonight

When I open my eyes
I see soldiers in the fields
Dead bodies on the ground
There are children in between

Explosions shock the land
And the evil shows its face
The one called Hister rises
This is the fall of grace

Beast ferocious from hunger will swim across rivers
The greater part of the region will be against the Hister
The great one will cause it to be dragged in an iron cage
When the German child will observe nothing

In the books of what will be
Written by the demon Lord?
Never lift your head up to the east
'Cause darkness wakes the beast

Der Kerzen Schein Er leuchtet fahl
Als das Sonnenlicht er stahl
Und nur das grosse Himmelszelt
Bezeugt das Ende dieser Welt

So feed the spark, welcome to the land of dark
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
Take my hand, forgotten in the promised land
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind

The knowledge, brought to the world
Growing with a bitter taste
In a dream I saw things that will be
Centuries away

So feed the spark, welcome to the land of dark
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
Take my hand, forgotten in the promised land

Death in all the centuries is what I left behind

And the sign of humanity is burning tonight
I can't escape from this ritual silence
Humanity's burning tonight
