16. Veni, Vidi, Vici (10:43)
(Oh...)
Are the wings of angels all a lie?
Tell me is this not you
Are these signs and warnings all we know?
Tell me is this not you
West wind at my shoulder
North wind at my back
On the bridge of death no turning back
The cavern waits before me
A falcon at my fist
Seven rings of knowledge
I exist – to kill!
Guardian of the red queen, seven rivers wide
This won't end ‘til one of us has died
Eternal death devour those who left their mark
Bleeding all the light out of the dark
To kill!
Gods of the night, gods of day
Lead me to another place
We have the force to make wrong right
As the river leaves the stream
All your yesterdays, shining bands unfold
With the power to smash!
We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword!
We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword!
Arrows rip my shoulder, forge a distant prize
Shadows of their might I know their eyes
On the black horizon see our banners wave
Baring all perdition for the brave
To kill!
Gods of the night, gods of day
Lead me to another place
We have the force to make wrong right
As the river runs away
All your yesterdays, shining bands of gold
With the guardian that hangs on the pine
We are children of those who left their mark
With the power to smash!
We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword!
We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword!
All your yesterdays shine on wings of light...
Sky father, lord of our sorrows
Our victory is at hand, watch us!
Shine!...
Gods of the night, where are you now?
I laugh at your fate!
Fortune's on the run, see it now
We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword!
We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword! Oh!
We live by the sword!
We came, we saw
Will we ever meet again?
Will we see the light of love at the edge of the world?
Hold it now, will we see the sun arise?
Recognize the god in man at the edge of the world?
I crown us... kings!
I crown us... kings!
Kings!
Are the wings of angels all a lie?
Tell me is this not you
Are these signs and warnings all we know?
Tell me is this not you
West wind at my shoulder
North wind at my back
On the bridge of death no turning back
The cavern waits before me
A falcon at my fist
Seven rings of knowledge
I exist – to kill!
Guardian of the red queen, seven rivers wide
This won't end ‘til one of us has died
Eternal death devour those who left their mark
Bleeding all the light out of the dark
To kill!
Gods of the night, gods of day
Lead me to another place
We have the force to make wrong right
As the river leaves the stream
All your yesterdays, shining bands unfold
With the power to smash!
We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword!
We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword!
Arrows rip my shoulder, forge a distant prize
Shadows of their might I know their eyes
On the black horizon see our banners wave
Baring all perdition for the brave
To kill!
Gods of the night, gods of day
Lead me to another place
We have the force to make wrong right
As the river runs away
All your yesterdays, shining bands of gold
With the guardian that hangs on the pine
We are children of those who left their mark
With the power to smash!
We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword!
We came, we saw, we conquered you all
We came, we saw, we live by the sword!
All your yesterdays shine on wings of light...
Sky father, lord of our sorrows
Our victory is at hand, watch us!
Shine!...
Gods of the night, where are you now?

We came, we saw, we live by the sword! Oh!
We live by the sword!
We came, we saw
Will we ever meet again?
Will we see the light of love at the edge of the world?
Hold it now, will we see the sun arise?
Recognize the god in man at the edge of the world?
I crown us... kings!
I crown us... kings!
Kings!
