Chill and grim, the coming dawn

Seems a century away

For mist and dark first brought them here

And in dark and mist they slay



Arrows arching through the night

Bring flame within our walls

And spells they've sent to steal our souls

Hold many here in thrall



[Chorus]

Night is a fantasy take it away

Metal's unreal in the morning

These five million warriors

Belong in a dream

You'll wake up if you scream out a warning

Night siege



So chill and grim, the castle now

Our prison and our grave

Yet, surely dawn will slay these fiends

If it comes in time to save



[repeat chorus twice]
