The Great Ordeal - Blind Guardian

For the day

We praise thy name all glory

For the day

We’re servants of the one

Now reveal

Unfold the untold story

Now reveal

The banner of the sun

We’re children of the damned

True rulers of the land

Lies and shame we’ve overcome

Our innocence is proved

It’s evidence we hold in hand

The order’s bane must end

The old order a new way…

Yes, the order’s clear

Yes, the order clears the way

Yes, the order’s clear

We’ll keep it alive

The secret’s inside

We carry the light

Welcome to the great unknown

Welcome to the great unknown

Become a light in the darkness

All evil’s defeat

Be one with the storm

Be one with the war machine

Stand brave when walls come down

Be one with destiny

Fools, don’t you see

It all leads to misery

Soon we’ll be free

Find release

Reclaim our integrity

Yet burnt at the stake

Their ideal’s awake

It lives in us all

Sacred heart

No time for regrets

You just have to realize

Our brotherhood of man

Will come to heal these lands

Soon you may roam

Where darkness grows

Every move you make

Will lead you further

To a wondrous world

Of awe and beauty you will see

Like a drop in the water

Like a drop in the water

All is one

Jerusalem

Solomon

The soldier of creed

The temple of light

In praise of the father

All praise!

Transcend!

Welcome to the great unknown

Welcome to the great unknown

Become a light in the darkness

All evil’s defeat

Welcome to the great ordeal

Stand brave when the walls come down

Be one with the temple’s law

The crucible of war

Fools, you’re dismissed

You cannot get out of this

The tiding of hope

Has vanished

Like dust in the wind

Oh, we’ve got to keep faith

Then by the light of the day

And the grail

We will find another way

The order stays alive

It shall shine on
