Hammerfall - The Champion Lyrics

Gaze upon the stake, flames will soon start to embrace
Condemned, auto da fe, she's about to fall from grace
In the land of the rising sun, shadows are falling again
The die is cast, the future and past coming to her at last

Oh, oh, oh
All she needed was a champion
Oh, oh, oh
Crying for a savior to fight for her life

Behold, the freedom cries by the dying of the light
Too late to justify for vindication upon this night
In the land of the rising sun, shadows are falling again
From out of nowhere a rider declared to answer her final prayer

Oh, oh, oh
He stood up to be the champion
Oh, oh, oh
He became the savior that fought for her life

Face to face, eye to eye
The savior fought to save her pride
Far beyond the starlit skies
The encounter went on

Gaze upon the stake as the flames start to embrace
A life, an act of faith, long-lost gone without a trace
In the land of the rising sun, shadows are falling again
The die is cast, for the future and past came for her at last

Oh, oh, oh
All she needed was a champion
Oh, oh, oh
Crying for a savior to fight for her

Oh, oh, oh
He stood up to be the champion
Oh, oh, oh
He became the savior that fought for her life

For her life, she may need a champion
For her life
