Into the darkness that all men must face
Within the brief hours, of your life here on earth
Pain thrashed into his life, the great prince stood firm
Behind his high and mighty shield, awaiting his turn
Shield at his side, cloak across his breast
His love and his life, they put him through the test
Shine on, shine on, in all of your glory
Shield all your fears, release all your fury
Shine, shine on, through the darkness and the pain
Shine, shine on, Warrior
Shine, shine on, through the wind and the rain
Shine, shine on, Warrior
Shield at his side, cloak across his breast
His love and his life, they put him to the test
Shine on, shine on, in all of your glory
Shield all you fears, release all your fury
Shine, shine on, through the darkness and the pain
Shine, shine on, Warrior
Shine, shine on, through the wind and the rain
Shine, shine on, Warrior
Into the darkness that all men must face,
Within the brief hours, of your life here on earth.
Pain thrashed into his life, the great prince stood firm,
Behind his high and mighty shield, awaiting his turn.
Shield at his side, cloak across his breast,
His love and his life, they put him through the test.
Shine on, shine on, in all of your glory.
Shield all your fears, release all your fury.
Shine, shine on, through the darkness and the pain.
Shine, shine on, Warrior.
Shine, shine on, through the wind and the rain.
Shine, shine on, Warrior.
Shield at his side, cloak across his breast,
His love and his life, they put him to the test.
Shine on, shine on, in all of your glory.
Shield all you fears, release all your fury.
Shine, shine on, through the darkness and the pain.
Shine, shine on, Warrior.
Shine, shine on, through the wind and the rain.
Shine, shine on, Warrior.
It's bloody interesting how they came to compose this song in clearly modern european power metal manner in nearly every detail- ways they play guitars, riffage, melodic, epic chorus, insane solos, double bass drums, and of course characteristic lyrics- in 77'! Are they invented D-beat too? With total unconciousnes... Or are they time travellers? :D More interesting, that after years they play power metal. Great respect, for Riot.
Shine on, fucking time travellers.
I miss Mark Reale as much as I miss Criss. Two of the greatest that never got any attention or credit for what they accomplished in each of their genres. Shine on Warriors.
