Blind Guardian - Twilight Of The Gods Lyrics






How've they dared to be
Such misguided creatures
How've they dared to be
Of such evil nature
Spiral up to doors all sealed
No turning back
Red door to Discordia

Steal the stars
Deceive the day
A sign of evil
They're gone with a final warning

Witness the twilight of the gods
Will they ever return
A storm will take us
And then wipe us out
There's no retreat

We're trapped in twilight
While the gods will drowse
Gods will drowse
They'll wait and sleep
Until a new dawn'll save us from the dark

The damage's done
The king is gone

There is war
Wherever I'll roam
Gods will come and
Gods will go
The spinning wheel keeps turning

Now get up
Lay down your ancient faith
We're the chosen ones
Come feel the change

A way
Let me show a new way
When you dare to walk with me
Bow down
And surrender
The old gods

Black or white
To me it's grey
A sign of evil
I hail all these non-believers

Witness the twilight of the gods
Will they ever return
A storm will take us
And then wipe us out
There's no retreat

We're trapped in twilight
While the gods will drowse
Gods will drowse
They'll wait and sleep
Until a new dawn'll save us from the dark

Deliver your gods
They shall be slain
I'm their fallen son
Don't be afraid

A way
Let me show a new way
When you're going to walk with me
As one
We're infernal

What's going up
It will come down
We're here to change
There's war in Discordia

Sure as death
We all must fade
A sign of evil
Now reach for a new horizon

Witness the twilight of the gods
Will they ever return
A storm will take us
And then wipe us out
There's no retreat

We're trapped in twilight
While the gods will drowse
Gods will drowse
They'll wait and sleep
Until a new dawn'll save us from the dark

    0:00 boss battle starts. Protagonist and boss have a story related back to back talk

    0:30 cutscene ends and player gets control

    0:52 boss gets damaged enough to trigger another story dialog between boss and player

    1:01 stage 2 of boss battle starts. Boss gets faster and gains another attack that hurts alot.

    1:21 boss reveals new move that exposes a weak spot.

    1:32 weak point hit a few times. More banter between them

    1:43 Boss changes form again. This time with some really cheap move that you gotta be on your toes

    2:02 boss damaged enough to where an NPC related to the player as a relative who says some morale boosting speech about how you can win, dont give up etc

    2:23 boss realizes he can't win unless he goes into final form. Gains some ultra cheap shot attack.

    2:45 boss suddenly activates some kind of thing that slowly heals him making the part last longer

    3:15 healing factor revealed to be a spot on boss' body that, if damaged enough, cuts off the healing

    3:25 Boss is angry at player and starts using lots of reckless attacks that show the boss is running out of health.

    3:34- boss realizes he has no chance to win now and reflects on evil deeds

    3:44- hero banters back about morality and similar ideas

    4:06 Boss out of HP. Now crawling on the floor

    4:17 hero walks up to boss and presses the action button performing a badass finishing move

    4:29- boss screams and explodes. The body lays lifeless on the ground and disintegrates so it doesn't bog down your ram. Hero gets EXP, tons of gold, and a key item needed to progress the game.

    J.... W....

    Don't lie. This popped into your head if you are a gamer and heard this song

  31. M.... F....

    No, not a Bathory tribute...

  32. C.... ....

    So Helloween and Rhapsody have twilight of the gods
    and sabaton make a cover of amon amarth twilight of thunder god that kinda confuse me

  33. K.... H....

    Anyone know which mythology this bases on?

  34. Y.... G....

    this should be in the soundtrack of Thor - Ragnarok

  35. J.... A....

    Why does the entire Spotify album disappear?

  36. s.... f....

    I think that Blind Guardian is an overestimated band. They have flue music and there are many bands better than them.

    s.... f....

    Art is not better or worse. Art is not quantifiable. How can you over or underestimate something that has only subjective or personal value? Thinking in terms of "better" and shouting it out loud to others only shows problems with one's own ego.

  37. D.... ....

    Why is this not on spotify anymore :(

  38. V.... ....

    Similar to what JP did with Redeemer Of Souls
    Good song but the audio quality is a bit iffy

  39. F.... P....

    Came thinking it was a cover of an Helloween classic, stayed for a neat original Blind Guardian song. :p

  40. W.... P....

    Wtf is this shit? Was the producer smoking really bad weed or what?

  41. n.... f....

    This isn’t Fire Emblem?

  42. s.... q....

    Blind guardian como antigamente ,isso é Blind na sua melhor forma

    s.... q....

    até aqui?

  43. T.... i....

    Epic as always.

  44. z.... 6....

    German Power Metal

  45. 3.... ....

    twilight of THUNDER gods

  46. S.... ....

    Ahh, the song that started the obsession.

  47. V.... j....

    Insania 2014 ?

  48. Z.... V....

    that intro could literally be in a pokemon elite four theme battle music :D

    Z.... V....

    Zeb Vennberg You are kinda right...

  49. M.... ....

    I like this song, but this chorus... =(
    That's not Blind...

  50. Z.... C....

    I just can't say how good this song makes me feel

  51. N.... 1....

    eu sou um bundão e nao conheço essa musica e prefiro guns hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  52. G.... D....

    I thought this song is bad until I heard the live version

  53. t.... s....

    The Bathory Song Is Much Better

  54. M.... ....

    Not to be confused with twilight of the thunder god

  55. T.... ....

    'bow down and surrender'
    Is this a French band?

    T.... ....

    J'vais t'envoyer le R.A.I.D et le G.I.G.N tu vas rien comprendre mdr

    T.... ....

    TacticalMetalJoe, no they a German.

    T.... ....

    You're not funny and nobody likes you.

    T.... ....

    People in this comment section are doing a better job defending France, than french army did during Ww2

    T.... ....

    @Tasmant It's just a meme, bro

  56. R.... L....

    Caralho que música maravilhosa

    R.... L....

    Sempre que termino de ouvir, fico atordoado alguns minutos...

  57. S.... ....

    can someone give me tabs for the track The Throne frome same album.?

  58. J.... W....

    This song would be good boss fight music for a God of War style action game

  59. a.... l....

    More noise make this way beter

  60. z.... s....

    what was the other song at the end? i must know!

    z.... s....

    sacred worlds

  61. C.... K....

    Kind of reminds me of Anor Londo from Dark Souls.

  62. T.... R....

    still my favourite song to train my singing to <3

  63. G.... ....

    Anyone else get an Ayreon vibe from this?

  64. A.... N....

    witness the twilight of the dogs.

  65. M.... H....

    These guys should've directed The Hobbit's storyline, would have been a 100 times better.

    M.... H....

    Or at least done the credits song for Battle of Five Armies

  66. B.... i....

    THE KING IS GONE

  67. I.... S....

    Came for a Helloween cover. Was sorely disappointed

    I.... S....

    this song is even better:D

  68. B.... R....

    Ugh Hansi's voice is so damn epic

  69. H.... V....

    MetalSucks brought me here

    H.... V....

    Ayy LMAO, me too

    H.... V....

    what video?

  70. C.... F....

    this shits gay a fuck...

    C.... F....

    uhm ok, but no;:D

  71. D.... ....

    Say, what is the song that plays at the end of the video? I can't seem to find it.

    D.... ....

    Dronox The title is "Sacred".

  72. C.... Q....

    best band ever

  73. S.... ....

    Heard this back when the single dropped, BG is now my favorite band of all time. No regrets

  74. D.... ....

    I hear so much Queen inspiration in here and it's awesome.

    D.... ....

    @lordjor96 Hansi Kuersch is a big Queen fan.

  75. A.... H....

    what is this song about? From my point of view, it's about man killing the gods, leaving only the End Times

    A.... H....

    Amerrack Hunter man overthrowing the gods. It's been concept in Norse mythology for hundreds of years

    A.... H....

    @Nellson Stout ah, cool

  76. T.... ....

    Call me crazy, but this song gives off that rock opera vibe that Queen would do. Obviously this is darker and a lot more powerful and intense, but I definitely hear it. There are some songs by Muse that seem to hit me like that as well. Whoever their inspiration is, I can't get enough of this song. It's amazing. Just started listening to Blind Guardian last night, and I'm really enjoying their content.

    T.... ....

    Boomer Roberts Listen to Wolf Hoffman (guitarrist form Accept), in his solo album he actually made Night on Bald Mountain rearranged for solo electric guitar!

    T.... ....

    They literally have an album with the same name as a queen album. "A Night at the Opera" It's obvious they are a big influence to them.

    T.... ....

    @Zeb Amos yep, Rhapsody of fire is a great bands, I love Dawn of victory by Rhapsodic of fire

    T.... ....

    @Andre Felder Hehe.

    T.... ....

    They’re definitely not as gay as Queen. Hansi does like them, though

  77. C.... R....

    That Was Epic

  78. C.... ....

    just found them while trying to find some nice power metal
    but this band is fucking awesome!!!

    C.... ....

    Well welcome to the club pal. Enjoy your Blind Guardian, and may I recommend, Demons and Wizards, Iron Savior, Gamma Ray, Iced Earth, Hammerfell, and Sabaton as your power metal starter pack.

    C.... ....

    CooLmAn I'm 18. I've been into more extreme stuff since middle school. You tried Helloween and Iced Earth yet?

    C.... ....

    mates thx for all these starter's packs :D but I have been more into sabaton

    C.... ....

    oh yeah, sprinkle some Powerwolf into that mix.

  79. A.... ....

    my current favorite song

  80. W.... ....

    The damage's done(WoW DPS) The king is gone(Alliance King Varian is dead)....

    Twilight of the Gods

    Next expansion is Old Gods themed

  81. A.... ....

    Best song

  82. T.... ....

    Uh title completely ripped off Amon Amarth but okay?

    T.... ....

    It's not really an original title, so I don't see how it's a problem. It's not like they called their song "Questlords of Inverness, Ride to the Galactic Fortress" which is obviously a very original and distinct title.

    T.... ....

    ya8aweenaystrday the twilight of the gods is a thousand year old mythological concept idiot. They didn't rip it off from anyone

    T.... ....

    Nellson Stout I know about Norse mythology and it's a lot older than 1000 years. It just seems like the names are too close to each other.

    T.... ....

    ya8aweenaystrday BG ripped of AA who. ripped off Bathory who ripped off Helloween

    T.... ....

    Did you mean twilight of the THUNDER God? Then no, not COMPLETELY ripped off.

  83. L.... C....

    remember me a bit of Iced Earth.

    L.... C....

    +vcalblas They *were* in a band called Demons & Wizards. Hansi Kursch and Jon Schaffer only did two albums under that name and Touched By The Crimson King was the last one, recorded in 2005. I doubt that either of their focus will come back to D&W after 12 years.

    L.... C....

    they said that they have plans on doing a new album, but they are 2 busy at the moment

    L.... C....

    @Cj's Vinyl ? Its my real name and my profile picture is random, i like the cover art of the album

    L.... C....

    @Cj's Vinyl and hansi said that in an interview, he said not before 2017 but he definitely tries to record a new album with jon

    L.... C....

    @Cj's Vinyl no problem:d

  84. G.... B....

    At 3:46 the video shows a meteor hitting the earth. Can anyone tell where on the earth it strikes?

    G.... B....

    Greg Brobston I'm guessing the Caribbean based on the little islands nearby

    G.... B....

    looks more like Indonesia since the Caribbean have much smaller islands.

  85. i.... ....

    im really getting a dark souls vibe from this song

    i.... ....

    that will be cool

    i.... ....

    I had the same impression. Even more so with some other songs... "We must serve the fire?" Sounds like linking the First Fire to me... maybe even more so with The Throne: "Get him off the throne, moreover, he is not in control no longer... The game goes on..." Sounds a lot like the Chosen replacing Gwyn, and this cycle repeating over and over... but I have been playing a lot of Dark Souls recently, so I may be predisposed towards seeing a connection there.

    i.... ....

    In fact, I was just listening to the album... "They will set it on fire?" "We are slaves to the fire?" "They must feed it?"

  86. M.... ....

    Is twilight of the gods their best song or what?

    M.... ....

    Which one is?

    M.... ....

    @GrilledChicken imo and then there was silence, but they have so many godlike songs

    M.... ....

    Try Journey Through the Dark and Battlefield.

    M.... ....

    MrCapone1996 definitely

    M.... ....

    +Andre Felder Absolutely agree. There's not a single better song on this planet imo.

  87. b.... ....

    I cannot stop listening this for days now, again and again, ended up here. It is absuluteley fuckintastic. I heard their other works, and those are great, but this song is a masterpiece. The music, the vocal, the lyrics... The video is only the final touch on the top of it, and it's wonderfully fit to the whole. Amazing.

  88. S.... D....

    3:55 sounds like "Shor is dead"....so Tamriel is Discordia? Oo

  89. G.... ....

    Nuclear blast why do you have all of my favorite bands?

    G.... ....

    omg... xD

    G.... ....

    because Nuclear Blast obviously has the best taste in music

    G.... ....

    You should check out Napalm Records.

    G.... ....

    most my bands are them or Napalm

    G.... ....

    Because Capitalism

  90. T.... C....

    Very old school metal. I like it, brings back memories of Spandex and Aqua Net.

  91. u.... ....

    First time listening to these guys, found it basically by accident. If the rest of their songs are as exciting as this then I'm going to be happy for a long time to come.

    u.... ....

    That album its like the worst. Imaginations from the other side, Nightfall in middle earth, Tales from the twilight world, Somewhere far beyond are way more epic!!!

    u.... ....

    I went to a show at this local club and they have posters of the bands who are coming soon and I saw Blind Guardian. I know they're German power metal I've just never listened to them I've started now though and will probably go to the show next month!

    u.... ....

    @GrayWoIf
    dude, I ve seen them live more than 8 times, Its one of the best live bands out there. Its just amazing live

    u.... ....

    @Nick Arthfael Funny, Beyond the Red Mirror is my favorite

    u.... ....

    @Caio Fabeni and your right to like it. It one of the best. Not my favorite but one of the best. Saying otherwise is either elitism bullshit or nostalgia.

  92. B.... d....

    Wait a fuck, I thought this would be a Helloween cover.

    B.... d....

    yes, but it's not. it sounds totally different.

  93. T.... ....

    See you at Wacken!

  94. S.... Q....

    it's part 2 of imaginations from the other side

  95. K.... H....

    EXCELLENT VIDEO. MAYBE THE BEST LYRIC-VIDEO EVER!!!

  96. E.... R....

    EUROPE IS COLLAPSING!!!!!!

    E.... R....

    Out of the EU !
