The King for a 1000 Years - Helloween

Forgotten in his reich from shadows

Banned forever, one thought

The Lord of Evil was given name and place of the seventh sea

Shelter of the seventh key

Who was betraying us?

I guess you know

There would be more than one name to name

Now he, whose name is many, searches for the one

The one strong enough to survive as his terrestrial hand

Enticement and promise will crown a king

A puppet on a string for a 1000 years

So they sing

Wouldn’t it be nice to plunder with your eyes?

Whatever there’s for you to see is yours to be

Let me be there, just tell me you don’t care

Just say you pay me afterlife, however high the price

I know your secrets

I know it all

I know your secrets

I see the hidden without light

I am your sickness

Biting you right behind your eyes

Don’t try to kill me

I cannot die a death you know

You and I will be

Heaven above and hell below

Brother, believe me

Father, conceive me

Brother, believe me

Perceive me

Time will be a turning wheel, we shove or retard

Time will be a toy, time we will enjoy

Say you want to live forever, minus one day

Say you will obey and I

I will show, I will show

I will show your reich of gold

And I will show, I will show

I will show you friend and foe

Wouldn’t it be nice

To reign and to decide

Whatever there’s attracting you

Will give its due to you

Let me be there

Just say you want to share

A power no one will withstand

Just be my human hand

I know your secrets

I know it all

I will show, I will show

I will show your reich of gold

And I will show, I will show

I will show you friend and foe

No believers, all deceivers

No illusion, executions

Alienation, elimination

Chaos, no exoneration

No believers, all deceivers

No illusion, executions

We are king for a 1000 years

We are king of a million tears

We’re the ones who bring desire

Binding their greed and fears

We are king of fallen men

We are keepers of the damned

Turning hope into obsession

We are the king

We are the king for a 1000 years

Ages of fire

Aeon of darkness, fear and hate

Wake up my creatures

Stand up you bringer of man’s fate

No one can kill us

We cannot die, a death one knows

Mankind is sleeping

My victory near, their end so close

I know your secrets

I know it all

Goodbye sorrows

Borrow me your hand to turn the key

Release me, believe me

Goodbye sorrows

Never more you have to fear futurity

Ohh

Goodbye sorrows

Borrow me your hand to turn the key

Conceive me

Time will be a turning wheel, we shove or retard

Time will be a toy, time we will enjoy

Say you want to live forever, minus one day

Say you will obey and I

I will show, I will show

I will show your reich of gold

And I will show, I will show

I will show you friend and foe

We are king for a 1000 years

We are king of a million tears

We’re the ones who bring desire

Binding their greed and fears

We are king of fallen men

We are keepers of the damned

Turning hope into obsession

We are the king, we are the king

The king for a 1000 years, ohh

The king for a 1000 years, ohh
