[English]

In those silent shades of grey

In those silent shades of grey

I will find a place

I will find a place

To escape the endless night

To escape the endless night

To find a new sun

To find a new sun

I know which is my fate

I know what my fate is

Bond to Erian's old tale

Bound to Erian's old tale

I'll be always there

I'll always be there

Fighting the ancient sin

Fighting the ancient sin

Moon shine in this eternal night

Moonlight in this eternal night

ANGELS ARE CALLING

ANGELS ARE CALLING

FROM DIVINE LOST CRYSTAL REALMS

FROM DIVINE LOST CRYSTAL REALMS

RIDING FROM HEAVEN

RIDING FROM HEAVEN

FOR THE MAGIC OF THE WIZARD'S DREAM

FOR THE MAGIC OF THE WIZARD'S DREAM

In the misty lights of dawn

In the misty lights of dawn

Between heart and soul

Between heart and soul

Elgard's calling for new hope

Elgard's calling for new hope

To avoid our fall

To avoid our fall

I know which is my fate

I know what my fate is

Bond to Erian's old tale

Bound to Erian's old tale

I'll be always there

I'll always be there

Fighting the ancient sin

Fighting the ancient sin

Moon shine in this eternal night

Moonlight in this eternal night

ANGELS ARE CALLING

ANGELS ARE CALLING

FROM DIVINE LOST CRYSTAL REALMS

RIDING FROM HEAVEN
