Gates of Evermore Lyrics

Tonight we ride for victory against a worthy foe
Onward to the bitter fields of battle now we go
Children cry in misery, their houses burn
Daughters, wives and mothers now lament for our return
We only hope to live to see the morning sun
This raging battle shall be won

Storming the gates of Evermore
Invaders from unfriendly shores
Their fallen sons be our reward
Stoking the mighty flames of war

Deafening, our battle cry as soldiers join the fray
Wizards casting spells to keep our mighty force at bay
Swordsmen clash and beasts attack
With madness in their eyes
Bastards closing in but this is not our day to die
We hold the fate of our own kingdom in our hands
We seize control and take command

Storming the gates of Evermore
Invaders from unfriendly shores
Their fallen sons be our reward
Stoking the mighty flames of war

Now the day belongs to us, our enemies retreat
Send them back from whence they came, their heads hung in defeat
Back upon our horses as we make the journey home
Those who try to conquer us shall reap what they have sown
The sun is rising and the darkness fades away
We live to fight another day

Storming the gates of Evermore
Invaders from unfriendly shores
Their fallen sons be our reward
Stoking the mighty flames of war
