Lyrics for A Sorcerer's Pledge - Live
Wanna see all of your hands, c'mon! I wanna hear your hands, c'mon! Time, oh, time stands still in these ancient halls Only the castle itself can tell what it keeps Dark are the secrets between these walls Hidden in shadows of death, while the sorcerer sleeps Where is the morning? Where is the sun? Oh A thousand years of midnight The sunrise is gone An old man marked by a life so long Is sleeping so sweet while his magic is growing so strong Waiting still for new times to come A thousands years to see if he has won And I ask you baby Where is the morning? Where is the sun? Sad sun? A thousand years of midnight The sunrise is gone, it's gone Let's see you fucking go, c'mon Yeah, ow! Hey, hey! Hey, hey! What has he done? Why is he sleeping so long? He wants to live forever Soon is he young When will he open his eyes? When is he strong enough to rule, oh no Back in our time goes the legend Of a sorcerer so old He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn Soon a tyrant will conquer So spoke the wise Of the day when the sorcerer will rise Rise for me Birmingham! Blood Blood is his wine The sorcerer is cheating on time And he'll be stronger than before Cursed be the sun The women will weep for his fun In the name of his magic so strong Back in our time goes the legend Of a sorcerer so old He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn Soon a tyrant will conquer So spoke the wise Of the day when the sorcerer will rise Rise Can you feel what you're supposed to do now? I wanna hear you cry real loud Louder! Everybody, it's your last chance to have some fun All you in the back, c'mon! Let's fucking go! A thousand years have gone Armageddon hasn't come, come Only the cry of a child echoes in the world Back goes time As the stars are passing by Nothing remains of this foolish man except his fate Rise I want you to sing with me Sing out to neighbour, yeah Oh! C'mon! Oh! C'mon! Oh! Louder! Oh! C'mon! (Oh!) You guys are stealing the show here We love you, this is fucking great We'll give you two chances to do it really loud and to break down the house, sing after me, okay? Oh! Loud! (Oh!) That's your last chance Oh! Last chance (Oh!) Fucking great, we love you Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Yeah! The sorcerer reached the end, reached the end of time, yes! You're fucking great! All great! Thank you very much, Birmingham!
