This version of the song is has slightly different lyrics than the 2003 album version, the only [lyrics] difference is that in the 2003 album version, a repeated line is slightly changed, being in the 2003 version the line reads “He’ll stand high before us”, however in the 2000 demo version it reads...
On a cold dark winter night
Hidden by the stormy light
Battle rages for the right
For what will become
In the valley of the damned
Warrior with sword in hand
Travels fast across the land
For freedom he rides
And the sign from the master on high
Screams aloud and across hear the cry
For the kingdom of fire and ice
And the power to be alive
Be strong ride on, carry on through the war
Come along carry on, living forevermore
On the wings of death
By the hands of doom
By the darkest light
From the darkest moon
Crossing silent seas
Over mountains high
For we stand as one tonight
On the black wind forever
We ride on together
Destroying your evil
With freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He stands high before us
Our hearts filled with splendor
Our swords will shine over the light
In the valley of the damned
Days breaks with golden strand
Over pastures green it glows
To where night returns
On the shadows faces appear
Warriors wearing full metal gear
Join together one and all
Before the glorious light
Rise up, gather round
Come and hear what is said
Use your senses, open your mind
Don't you ever forget
On the wings of life
By the hands of hope
By the brightest light
From the brightest sun
Crossing silent seas
Over mountains high
To the valley of the damned
On the black wind forever
We ride on together
Destroying your evil
With freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He stands high before us
Our hearts filled with splendor
Our swords will shine over the light
On the black wind forever
We ride on together
Destroying your evil
With freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He stands high before us
Our hearts filled with splendor
Our swords will shine over
The black wind forever
We ride on together
Destroying your evil
With freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He stands high before us
Our hearts filled with splendor
Our swords will shine over the light
