LETRA

(Composição: Russell Allen, Michael Romeo, Michael Lepond) To the one that I love, my journey has begun When our eyes meet once more there will be peace The taste of your lips the warmth of your touch Again, forever, two souls as one Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied Home, I'm dreaming of home I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew To return would make my dream come true Seasons of sorrow have stolen all my years I miss the rolling hills of Ithaca I've been through battles and cried a sea of tears But the tide is changing, and with it all my fears Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied Home, I'm dreaming of home I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew To return would make my dream come true Behold the sea and winds of Jove We set sail guided by the stars above The ports of Troy escape our view A cold and stormy fate awaits our rendezvous Onward we ride, into the raging fury Setting our course by the moon and sun We forge ahead seeking glory Yet the journey has just begun Onward we ride, nine days we braved her might We are coming home Awakened at dawn, land dead ahead With the winds of the morning we change course No remorse, a place forbidden to all Search all the grounds, find food and water Yet journey not into the Cave of Woe Long ago, a legend spoke of a beast A thousand riches hidden deep within the stone A thousand nightmares, mortal's blood forever flows A mountainous black engulfed in a shadow A bone-chilling growl and an Eye of Hate A ghastly fate, held prisoner by the Eye Yet he must sleep as the daylight fades We focus our senses and sharpen our blade We take aim, in silence we strike A thousand riches hidden deep within the stone A thousand nightmares, blood runs forever from the Eye We sit adrift on the open sea The gift of wind, by Zeus, concealed so carelessly We break the waves on a course untrue Across an endless plain of blue a new coast in view We carouse with the maiden Beneath her eyes the madness lies In mystery I drink deep from the chalice Of gold and jade, my senses fade I'm mesmerized Stay like those before I condemn you all from walk to crawl Metamorphasized No, my will, it defies her Speak the verse, lift the curse She's mesmerized Am I asleep? Tell me, Daughter of the Sun There's vengeance in the air and all things All things must be undone Dire warnings Told by the sorceress in white False bringers of love, sirens Echoing songs from above Wings flowing Floating on Sea of Lies I defy their vision Elysium swallows my cries Embracing Maidens of lust stimulate And manipulate my senses I welcome a watery grave Tied steadfast to the mast Tragedy awaits me I'm falling victim Betrayed by the sea So this is home In the guise of a beggar, Minerva guides my way I find my kingdom in jeopardy Vengeance, it swells within me As I spy so many who eye my Queen I'll make them pay for this blasphemy, all will see Triumphant Champion of Ithaca I will right all the wrongs Let the Gods sing my song Triumphant Champion of Ithaca Let a new life begin My journey has come to an end A contest of valor To pierce all the rings In a single arrow's flight Yet, not a one can string the bow My veil of silence lifted All is revealed Revenge burns in my heart Thrashing and slashing down all my foes To claim the throne Triumphant Champion of Ithaca I will right all the wrongs Let the Gods sing my song Triumphant Champion of Ithaca Let a new life begin This is the end of my Odyssey Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied Home, I'm finally home I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew I have returned to make my dream come true
