[English]

Today, as lost men wander

In the domains of darkness

From eternity

They shall return

The old kings will come with the storm

The darkness, you know it is

Devastating the land and the sea

Times of no peace, hatred, and pain

I need to be able to awaken

Your heart will lead you

Toward the forgotten kingdom that is

Only within you

You can be rich, a beggar, or a thief

The wounds in your heart are aching

Let us begin again

And the kingdom will manage

To save the earth and all of humanity

The darkness, you know it is

Devastating the land and the sea

Times of no peace, hatred, and pain

I need to be able to awaken

Your heart will lead you

Toward the forgotten kingdom that lies within you

The darkness, you know it is

Devastating the land and the sea

Times of no peace, hatred, and pain

I need to be able to awaken

Your heart will lead you

Toward the forgotten kingdom that is

Within you

Within you

Within you

Within you

[Spanish]

Hoy que los hombres perdidos están

En los dominios de la oscuridad

Desde la eternidad

Ellos regresarán

Los viejos reyes vendrán con la tempestad

La oscuridad, sabes que esta

Desolando la tierra y el mar

Tiempos sin paz, odio y dolor

Necesito poder despertar

Tu corazón te llevará

Hacia el reino olvidado que esta

Solo dentro de ti

Puedes ser rico, mendigo o ladrón

Duelen las llagas en tu corazón

Volvamos a empezar

Y el reino logrará

Salvar la tierra y a toda la humanidad

La oscuridad, sabes que esta

Desolando la tierra y el mar

Tiempos sin paz, odio y dolor

Necesito poder despertar

Tu corazón te llevará

Hacia el reino olvidado que está dentro de ti

La oscuridad, sabes que esta

Desolando la tierra y el mar

Tiempos sin paz, odio y dolor

Necesito poder despertar

Tu corazón te llevará

Hacia el reino olvidado que esta

Dentro de ti

Dentro de ti

Dentro de ti

Dentro de ti
