Crimson Bow and Arrow - Epica

Lyricist：Revo/Mark Jansen

Composer：Revo

Nos rapti sumus aut tamen raptores

On to battle

Here we are the hunters

Red as fire

Crimson Bow and Arrow

Waiting for the storm won't help you

Just the will to fight can change you

Clean your weapons blow the dust off

Fear and prayers will never save us

We can't hide our pride behind fear

We will not let them be this near

In the end our strength unites us

Just the will to fight will save us

No we will never ever fail

We stand up and we fight for the moment of the truth

Stand up and fight for their demise

We won't surrender

Day and night dividing the legions

Ignorance will show its weakness

Lasting peace an abandoned illusion

Blinded by trust in a twilight zone

Day and night disguising their secrets

Ignorance will kill the fearless

Offerings of reckless courage

Freedom for us all

On to battle

Here we are the hunters

Red as fire

Fear the bow

The humility of imprisonment

Fight with Crimson Bow and Arrow

Far away from the solemn castle walls

Jäger hunts his prey to death now

Diving into the instincts of the night

Red is piercing through the twilight

Soldiers with their wings of freedom will attack

Free the unrelenting slaves

Right now

Not knowing the names of our

Broken trees and the trampled flowers

The fallen bird awaits the breeze

No one will guide you

Everlasting calm of the herds

It is but a vast illusion

Failing freedom of our dying wolves

Marks the era of confusion

Praying won't help

Fight for your land

Freedom and our way of life

These are but a vast illusion

When the darkness hits our crying wolves

It marks the era of conclusion

Those who only complain about their helplessness will not change a thing

The boy will pick up the black sword

Hate and anger are a two-edged blade

And soon it will show its teeth

All that ends this brutal game is not the weapon nor the skill

Reach out for the desire and awake your will to kill

Go and free your mind immerse yourself in unstoppable killer instinct

Bring back the hope illuminate the darkness

Stand up and fight for their demise

We won't surrender now

Enthrone the devil in disguise

You can't defend her

Day and night dividing the legions

Ignorance will show its weakness

Lasting peace an abandoned illusion

Blinded by trust in a twilight zone

Day and night disguising their secrets

Ignorance will kill the fearless

Offerings of reckless courage

Freedom for us all

On to battle

Here we are the hunters

Red as fire

Crimson Bow and Arrow

On to battle

Here we die as heroes

Red as fire

Hearts will bleed to death
