The Champion

Gaze upon the stake, Flames will soon start to embrace Condemned, out to the faith, She's about to fall from grace In the land of the rising sun Shadows are falling again The die is cast, the future and past Coming to her at last Oh, oh, oh All she needed was a Champion Oh, oh, oh Crying for a savior to fight for her life Behold, the freedom cries By the dying of the light Too late to justify For vindication upon this night In the land of the rising sun Shadows are falling again From out of nowhere, a rider declared To answer her final prayer Oh, oh, oh He stood up to be the Champion Oh, oh, oh He became the savior that fought for her life Face to face, eye to eye The savior fought to save her pride Far beyond the starlit skies, the encounter went on Gaze upon the stake, As the flames start to embrace A life, an act of faith, Long-lost gone without a trace In the land of the rising sun Shadows are falling again The die is cast for the future and past Came for her at last Oh, oh, oh All she needed was a Champion Oh, oh, oh Crying for a savior to fight for her Oh, oh, oh He stood up to be the Champion Oh, oh, oh He became the savior that fought for her life --- The Champion - Hammerfall
