The Myth of the Holy Sword

Rhapsody of Fire

After the victory of the angels over hell 
these old lands became a new reason for war 
elves and men all united against new darklords 
it's the time of the three elvish wars 

During the third one in Galfor's old mines 
Naimur was captured by Atlon, hell's fury? 
he got tortured by the darklord with the emerald stone 
and his brother left alone with the bleeding soul 

He took the stone 
he forged a sword 

AND HE ASKED TO THE ANGELS 
TO FILL IT WITH MIGHT 
SO IT WAS BORN THE MYTH OF THE HOLY SWORD 
AND HE ASKED TO THE ANGELS 
TO FILL IT WITH MIGHT 
SO IT WAS BORN 

After some years the elves new attack 
dramatic battles and rivers of blood 
and for Loinir came the chance to avenge Naimur's death 
just a strike of the sword, hell's last breath 

He felt too much power in that blade 
he gave it to the wizards to discover why 
and the wizards knew right away 
that sword could have been a threat 
in the hands of the wrong man or darklords 

The wizards knew 
the stone was filled 

WITH THE GLORY OF ANGELS 
WHO ENCHANTED THAT BLADE 
THEY HIDE IT WELL BEYOND THE IVORY GATES 
WITH THE GLORY OF ANGELS 
WHO ENCHANTED THAT BLADE 
THEY HIDE IT WELL 

Vita e morte 
spazio e tempo 
sulla sacra 
lama divina 
Vita e morte 
spazio e tempo 
nel suo verde cuore 
di luce pura 

You know well what happened then 
the Loregard's warrior and his quest 
he was the chosen to find the blade 
far beyond the mystic gates 
Akron's army could be stopped 
thanks to that holy sword 
now it lies somewhere deep 
in the Algalord's raging sea 

AND HE ASKED TO THE ANGELS 
TO FILL IT WITH MIGHT 
SO IT WAS BORN THE MYTH OF THE HOLY SWORD 
AND HE ASKED TO THE ANGELS 
TO FILL IT WITH MIGHT 
SO IT WAS BORN
