Manilla Road – Black Cauldron lyrics

Introduction
Under the stars
It's written in the cards,
All the myths that bards
Have sung through history.
The future's not so cold
Just trust the ways of old
Magik can save the soul
And set the spirit free.
It's not just fantasy.
1st verse
Heavenly bodies,
Astrological minds,
Seeking out the wisdom
Of the stars at night,
To snatch from the heavens
The thunderbolt of light
And then the sceptre
From the tyrant's side.
Chorus
Night after night
They shine on so bright,
All the ancient lights
Shall never fade away.
Astronomica!
The laws that bind us all
To keep us from the fall
Unto the stars we gaze
And pray.
2nd Verse
Living for the future,
Living for the night,
Living for the masters
Holy guardians of light.
Jupiter is rising
O'er the table round,
Sword of Fire and Lightning
Ancient Rites have found.
Chorus
Fight after fight
They shine on so bright
All the ancient knights
Shall never fade away
Astronomica!
The laws that bind us all
To keep us from the fall
Unto the stars we gaze
And pray.
3rd Verse
Universal wisdom
Of the Gods of old;
A conquerer's freedom
Is the danger zone.
Astronomic wasteland
Darkened and cold
Where the new born King stands
With sword of the throne.
Chorus
Night after night
They shine on so bright
All the ancient lights
Shall never fade away.
Astronomica,
The laws that bind us all
To keep us from the fall
Unto the stars we gaze
And pray.
