Symphony X - Accolade Lyrics
On a cold and misty night,a ring of torches light the hallowed groundwhere his father's laid to restIn the reflection of a swordhe sees his destiny and he swears up to the sky:"You will not have died in vain!"On the field - with sword and shieldamidst the din of dying man's wailsWar is waged - and the battle will rageuntil only the righteous prevailFrom the shadows comes a man,returning to his land - Winds of changetaint the sweet smell of homeAnd all around him, he can seethe pain and miserythis tyrant's reign is through"I will stand and fight... Will you?"A heart of gold pumps within his metal skinA noble line he carries onOn the field - with sword and shieldamidst the din of dying man's wailsWar is waged - and the battle will rageuntil only the righteous prevailI wish to stay, to be here with youYou were my strength, how can I go on?On the field - with sword and shieldamidst the din of dying man's wailsWar is waged - and the battle will rageuntil only the righteous - only the righteous - only the righteous prevail!
