Be you the king or tyrant?
Bear you the mettle to wear the mark?
Fearless contender
Or fateless pretender

Are you the one to face the dark?

The centuries have brought us here
Beyond the realms of mind
Memories to guide the shape
The fate of humankind

Far above the land of reason
Far beyond the frame of time

(Chorus)
The gods return
Bring forth the answer
The gods return
Before the sign

Stranded in darkness
Beset by misery
Will you face up
To the challenge?

Bear you the mark?
Bear you the might?
Bear you the strength of steel?
Search in your soul
For the one to lead us on
To the glory of the setting sun

(Chorus)
