A pool of radiance
Flows into the valley
The mountains of madness
High into the sky
A tomb of horror
Sits quiet in the night
Hiding ghastly creatures
That feed on helpless life

The wizard walks alone
The fighter standing tall
A bard plays a song
That echoes through the hall

Only heroes live forever
All heroes die.

Beyond Balders gate
Fire, brimstone, hate
Angels always sighing
Peeking from its wall
but a band of merry men
Hold the key to change it all.

Now all these paper heroes
Have faded from the light
Folded, frayed or tossed away
No longer in the fight
But living in our songs
Round campfires in the night

Only heroes live forever
All heroes die.

Aguirre travels savage lands
through jungle vines and streams
in search of some deceivers dream

guided by an unseen hand
he judges men from where they stand
clears a path towards his goal
a city lined with streets of gold

now a king he cannot fail
madness steeped in divine detail
chasing shadows arrows abound

Aguirre, you held the wrath of god
Aguirre, now you stand alone

Aguirre listen real close
You'll hear the devil laugh
he can smell your ego
your soul is burn'in for a foolish task

Aguirre, you held the wrath of god
Aguirre, now you stand alone
Aguirre, you held the wrath of god
Aguirre, now you stand alone

the dream is now soiled your body is boiled
taken by cannibals in the wild

A noted tune
Divides the time
Of lucid dreams
And dangled chimes

I drag my sign
And huddle forth
Above the wind
On grounded mirth

A pew in dust
Hides tales of woe
Beneath its earth
Where sun has shown

A fractured clock
In tilted frame
Has Locked away
What love remained
