Accolade Songtext
von Symphony X

On a cold and misty night
A ring of torches light
The hallowed ground
Where his father′s laid to rest

In the reflection of a sword
He sees his destiny
And he swears up to the sky
You will not have died in vain

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
O-o-o-o-oh, oh
Oh

On the field, with sword and shield
Amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged and the battle will rage until
Only the righteous prevail


From the shadows comes a man
Returning to his land
The winds of change
Taint the sweet smell of home

And all around him, he can see
The pain and misery
This tyrant′s reign is through
I will stand and fight
Will you?

A heart of gold
Pumps within his metal skin
A noble line he carries on

On the field, with sword and shield
Amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged and the battle will rage until
Only the righteous prevail

I wish to stay, to be here with you
You were my strength, how can I go on?


On the field, with sword and shield
Amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged and the battle will rage until
Only the righteous
Only the righteous
Only the righteous prevail
