"Spirit Soldier" lyrics

"Spirit Soldier"

Spirit is your fate and burden
Spirit is your destination

Once long ago, on a dark night
You felt body and soul unite
In a dream of epiphany
You were given perspicuity, dignity, autonomy, supremacy

Ancient spirits cursed through your veins
The sparks in you turned into flames
You heard battle drums thundering
Was this a dream or an awakening, a destining, foreshadowing offering?

The gods have marked you for your life and death
The gods will guide you up to your last breath

You will lead a secret life sheltered by darkness
Up to the day that the spirit soldiers will conquer and then

The twilight mountains you will climb
Brighter than the sun you will shine
Louder than thunder you will roar
Above the world your voice will soar

Through the universe you will fly
Expand the earth, tear up the sky
Once your spirit will break free
A new spring will bring liberty

The gods blessed you with power and a vision
The gods gave you life to accomplish a mission

Being a soldier of spirit in a cold and shallow world
Will at times seem to you rather a curse than a gift

Sometimes you damn the ancient spirits
Everything seems grim and senseless
They tell you that there's no forgiveness
For the thousand sins you could confess

Then you envy the blind fools
Who thrive in mediocracies
Who love and hate as they are told
Devoted to trivialities

Spirit soldier
Spirit soldier

Spirits, spirits, spirits
Spirit soldier
Spirits, spirits, spirits
Spirit soldier

Sometimes your dreams take you to the land
Of purity, silence and soul
Where you feel unchained and alive
Where fate is under your control

Then you thank the great omnipotent
Creators of life and spirit
That with the dawn of a new age
You'll be united with the infinite

Spirit soldier
Spirit soldier

Spirits, spirits, spirits
Spirit soldier
Spirits, spirits, spirits
Spirit soldier

The gods sent you to provide for enlightenment
The gods have placed you in line of their descent

You will lead a secret life sheltered by darkness
Up to the day the spirit soldiers will conquer and then

The twilight mountains you will climb
Brighter than the sun you will shine
Louder than thunder you will roar
Above the world your voice will soar

Through the universe you will fly
Expand the earth, tear up the sky
Once your spirit will break free
A new spring will bring liberty
