Taste the poison
Feel that this is life
Hallowed be the game
Of life and innocence
God's waiting for him
Join us at the road to fate
There are no two paths
Feel the pain
Which steps into his life
Agony
He'll be crucified
Death awaits
Knocking at his door
Agony
Leave him
The clock will strike the end
Hell or heaven
Reflect and fade away
Ref.:
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes You will obey
Time isn't here to stay
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
the life clock strikes and You obey
A light shows the right way
Morning is whispering in my head
Too late to say goodbye
Too late
The last breath's done
Deliverance at all
he's born to find this end
I am the one
The one who's calling
Obey my call to the cemetary
And don't be afraid
To step into the dark
Be sure that my voice
will take You home
Ref.:
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes You will obey
Time isn't here to stay
(Solo)
No hope he'd waited so long
This can't be God's will
He surrendered long ago
There was no real chance
Ashes to ashes and dust will be dust
Ashes to ashes, you all will be dust again
The clock had struck the end
Up to heaven
Reflexions fade away
Ref. (1st)

![Blind Guardian - The Quest for Tanelorn
From the 1992 album Somewhere Far Beyond
By the ruins he stands
And hes waiting for me
To enter Tanelorn
His paths seems strange
But theyre always planned
Seldom he succeeds
About his own fate
He tries to conquer it
Again and again
But at last hes almost
A ruined man
Not a king or God
Whos searching for
A place called Tanelorn
Far beyond your dreams
Ref.:
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
Hes waiting
Hes waiting for me
Hes waiting
Hes waiting for me
[Spiritus sanctus - vita aeterna]
Darkness falling down on me
Darkness - The eternal battle rises
I know the answers
Although they dont exist
Im just a mortal illusion
Ref.
(Solo)
So Im his companion
Through space and through time
His eternal servant
Hes calling me
So I must leave
To any life
To another world
Far beyond Your dreams
To know the truth
Just for a while
Hes longing for a place
Where he can find himself
Deliverance
It could be everywhere
How can he find
Hes waiting for me
And for Your Tanelorn
Ref.:
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
