Once upon a time, is the beginning Of ventures told while the fireside is glowing The rhymes of the skalds break the silence Carrying tales from the world to the tavern No way they will run from the fight No matter that they're far away No way they'll fall or look behind The heroes ride into the night No way they will run from the fight No matter that they're far away No way they'll fall or look behind The heroes ride Into a storm or through the fire Cross the unknown Their names are echoing tonight And telling the glory of yore That seems so far away On epic battlefields they ride Together as one Their tales are echoing tonight The deeds of heroes Will always be told as they belong To tales of war Tales from the reign of the fallen Myths and legends of men unforgotten And bound to war, where the story unfolded In the songs of the night they are telling No way they will run from the fight No matter that they're far away No way they'll fall or look behind The heroes ride into the night No way they will run from the fight No matter that they're far away No way they'll fall or look behind The heroes ride in tales of war Where they cannot die anymore Strong is the heart of the ones Who stray from the light Adventuring far in the darkness unknown Through sorrow and pain On the notes of a bard Those heroes are riding tonight Into a storm or through the fire Cross the unknown Their names are echoing tonight And telling the glory of yore That seems so far away On epic battlefields they ride Together as one Their tales are echoing tonight The deeds of heroes Will always be told as they belong To tales of war
