Symphony X - The Relic

Silver cross in ancient halls, deep inside the castle walls Bound to sleep, forever locked in chains Evil carved into the stone, ancient words they've never known A serpent's silent shroud still remains Come with me and I'll make all your wishes come true Lifting the chains of oppression from you Wiping away the lines carved in your face Take the Relic from this place... Carry on, into the horizon, wielding courage, staff in hand Journey on, through shadows and dreams, and what lies beyond the guardian's keep Prey and siege in voiceless woe, who's dust was scattered long ago Awaken from this dark and endless sleep Man's desires-now mortal wounds, believing tales and shallow truths Hardened hearts now tremble in the keep Trust in me and I'll lay all your nightmares to waste Take the Relic from this place Carry on, into the horizon, wielding courage, staff in hand Journey on, through shadows and dreams, and what lies beyond the guardian's keep
