Somewhere in desert of the void Beyond the wall We're the last survivors We're the ones who'll never fall Men inside the circle, leave the night! Darkness all around us, Not a single beam of light We all have is our faith No will to win this fight The time has come to break the outer wall (Break down the back wall) Grab your heart, I'll show you the way, Now hold your head up high High above, at the edge of the world We're searching for glory and peace When the time has come, you will see Our return to the land of the free Men inside the circle, Tell me what you feel and see Delusions of reality, The mirror of your dreams Hold your ground And I'll show you the way Now hold your head up high High above, at the edge of the world We're searching for glory and peace When the time has come, you will see Our return to the land of the free [SOLO: Kai/Dirk/Kai/Dirk] And when the cracks appear, upon the wall We know the moment's here to see it fall And as the sunlight appears again in our sky No wall, no more, no more will darken our life [MELODY: both/Dirk] High above, at the edge of the world We're searching for glory and peace When the time has come, you will see Our return to the land of the free Our return to the land of the free
