Lyrics

Hallowed be the fatherland
God, he knows how long I'd been away
From here I did start for a search so full of disease
I still hear my cry outs from the old cellars inside
Whoa-oh
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 (crucified, crucified)
"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
