Lyrics In the Days of Epic Metal - Dexter Ward

In the Days of Epic Metal

I’m standing on the edge
Of the last horizon
Sands of time are in my hands
I’ve traveled oh so far
Seeking sanctuary
From the darkness of the night
Here come the memories
Like a distant fire
And the pain of growing old
This is the last goodbye
Light my burning pyre
Gods of war
I’m coming home
Beyond the mountains of the West
Across the glaciers
I’ll be on my way
And with the ravens I shall fly
One with the legend
One with the glory
And when my time is close at hand
Since I’m a warrior
I will understand
They will await me
Way up high
On to Valhalla
Odin I’m coming home
The Valkyries take me to the clouds
On golden chariots
The fight will never end
I am immortal
I stand proud
I’m everlasting
Not just a memory
And when the night is growing cold
My brothers, do not fear
I’m standing by your side
I will return on dragon wings
One with the thunder
Into the raging storm
Fly, soldiers of light
Into the sky, mighty warriors
Fly, into the fight
Reach for the stars
On through the kingdoms of ice
We have sailed
On golden waves
To the All-father
Past days are gone
Like a gleam on the blade
Now our swords sing
To the rising sun
Fly, soldiers of light
Into the sky, mighty warriors
Fly, into the fight
Reach for the stars
