Turning of the Tide Lyrics

Out on the fields I can hear the cries
The battle goes on another day, and so another good man dies
How many more will pay the price?
I must believe that in the end it's worth the sacrifice

Beneath his banner we are called to arms
A golden serpent on a blood red flag leads the way
Under his rule we'll vanquish all our foes
He is the chosen king, united we will stand the day

(chorus)
Take up the fight and defend us all
The sword and the shield at your side
We are we where belong, our future is our own
We're standing at the turning of the tide

For all of these burdens I must bear
I have to be strong and lead these broken lands from beyond repair
Tell me priestess wise and fair
Why is it me that has to lead this country from despair?

The sound of thunder and the clash of steel
We ride to battle with our destiny in our hands
When tales are told our legends will reveal
The righteous shed the blood for the good of the land

(chorus)
Take up the fight and defend us all
The sword and the shield at your side
We are we where belong, our future is our own
And there is no way back because we're standing at the turning of the tide

(Bridge solo: Rute)
Beyond the veil of the forgotten land
This coming has been long foreseen
Take this sword and sheath made by my hand
With it you shall never bleed

(Solos: McNeill 3:32-52, Farmer 3:52-4:11)

(Chorus)
Take up the fight and defend us all
The sword and the shield at your side
We are we where belong, our future is our own
We're standing at the turning of the tide

(Reprise)
Take up the fight and defend us all
The sword and the shield at your side
We are we where belong, our future is our own
And there is no way back because we're standing at the turning of the tide
