The Script For My Requiem (Original) Songtext
von Blind Guardian

Hallowed be the fatherland
God, he knows how long I′d been away
From here I did start for a search so
Full of decease, I still hear my cry outs
From the old cellar's inside!

Born in the days of medieval
My inner voice is always asking why
I came from nowhere (without a task, without a name)
Don′t fear my evil (fate, so god please lead me through)
Forgotten realms, mysterious dreams in sunless rooms I'd sworn
I'll finish what I started, once, I′ll find my holy grail
(In the holy land)

Returning of the miracles
It′s my own requiem
The jester's tears, they are inside me
Agony′s the script for my requiem


Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
Is the script already written
Jester′s tears I cry, yes, I cry

I went out of my mind in desert lands
Insanity's pawn out of control
Much too long I′ve been isolated
From my thoughts, enclosed by the leader's spell
Bewildered to march as a glory knight
And I tried!

Still, I hear the scream of thousands ("Crucify! Crucify!")
Take it all our gold, our home, our life
But we didn't kill your Christ!
Reach out for your holy grail
Enslave us and make us your god′s sacrifice!

Returning of the miracles
It′s my own requiem
The jester's tears, they are inside me
Agony′s the script for my requiem

Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
Is the script already written
Jester′s tears I cry, yes, I cry


Still, I'm confused
If I was dreaming
Too late, I realized
I′d been another fool
(I pay the price, I pay the price)

Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
The jester's tears, they are inside me
Agony′s the script for my requiem

Returning of the miracles
It′s my own requiem
Is the script already written
Jester's tears I cry
