Blind Guardian

Blind Guardian je power metal bend osnovan 1985. u Krefeldu, Njemačka. U razdoblju od 1986.-1987. izdaju dva demo albuma pod imenom Lucifer's Heritage. Od osnivanja njihovi tekstovi bili su inspirirani imaginarnim svijetom J. R. R. Tolkiena i drugih autora fantastične proze, te legendama i mitovima.

Na njihovom debitantskom albumu Battalions Of Fear i drugom Follow The Blind, na kojem je prvi put gostovao Kai Hansen, prevladava utjecaj speed metala, mnogo više nego na Blind Guardianovim budućim albumima. Već na sljedećem uratku Tales From The Twilight World, Blind Guardian poprima moderniji zvuk, te češće koristi zborove uz pomoć orkestra. Time je Blind Guardian stvorio svoj danas prepoznatljiv epičan stil. Sljedećih godina izdaju još dva albuma, Somewhere Far Beyond i svoje prvo live izdanje Tokyo Tales. Bend dostiže svoj vrhunac albumima Imaginations From The Other Side i Nightfall In Middle-Earth, koji je baziran na knjizi Silmarillion, autora J. R. R. Tolkiena. Uslijedila je stanka tijekom koji Hansi Kürsch surađuje s osnivačem Iced Eartha Jonom Schafferom, što rezultira izdavanjem albuma novog benda nazvanog Demons & Wizards. Popularnost Blind Guardiana je rasla i 2002. bend pušta u prodaju A Night at the Opera, na kojem dolazi do malene promjene stila te se osjeća utjecaj progresivnog power metala.

2005. bend nakon dvadeset godina napušta bubnjar Thomen Stauch i osniva Savage Circus. Zamijenio ga Frederik Ehmke. Novi studijski album A Twist In The Myth, izašao je u rujnu 2006. godine.

Nightfall

No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
"All hope's lost it can't be undone
They're wasted and gone"

"Save me your speeches
I know (They blinded us all)
What you want
You will take it away from me
Take it and I know for sure
The light she once brought in
Is gone forevermore"

Like sorrowful seaguls they sang
"(We're) lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)
Monstrous it covered the shore
Fearful into the unknown"
Quietly it crept in new horror
Insanity reigned
And spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain

chorus:
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

"How long shall we
Mourn in the dark
the bliss and the beauty
Will not return
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard the road may be"
But even in silence I heard the words
"An oath we shall swear
By the name of the one
Until the world's end
It can't be broken"

Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside

The doom of the Noldor drew near

The words of a banished king
"I swear revenge"
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts
Full of hate full of pride
We screamed for revenge

chorus

"Vala he is that's what you said
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
(But) freely you came and
You freely shall depart
(So) never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends"

"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"
"You better don't trust him"
The enemy of mine
Isn't he of your kind and
Finally you may follow me
Farewell
He said

chorus

Back to where it all began

mordred song

I've lost my battle before it starts
My first breath wasn't done
My spirit's sunken deep into the ground
Why am I alone
I can hear my heartbeat
Silence's all around

See hate will rise
So don't come closer
Fear your child
Born with a king's heart
But fate fooled me
And changed my cards
None asked if I want it
If I like it

Pain inside is rising
I am the fallen one
A figure in an old game
No joker's on my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
And murder the dawn
Turn off the light
And murder the dawn

Nothing else but laughter is around me
Forevermore
Noone can heal me
Nothing can save me
Noone can heal me
I've gone beyond the truth
It's just another lie
Wash away the blood on my hands
My father's blood
In agony we're unified

I never wanted to be
What they told me to be
Fulfill my fate then I'll be free
God knows how long I tried to change fate

I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
And murder the dawn
Turn off the light
And murder the dawn!!!
