Symphonity - Marco Polo, Pt. 3: The Plague

Walking through
The valley of tears
Dying land
God-forsaken place
Suffering, pictures I've never seen
Fight 'till the last breath

Turn the page
It's time to change the plans
Save our lives
I have to leave my dreams
Far behind
Presence of mind

Inner voice tells me:
You have to go
Don't hesitate
If you wanna save your soul
Horde of rats
Beware of the silent threat
Begging for mercy

Release from pain and agony
We're facing now new reality
Silk road fame
Our primal aim

(Chorus)
The sands of time
Riding the wings of fantasy
I never meant to die
Wondering what fate will send to me
Beyond the dark
A bright tomorrow there's to see
This is the only way to our destiny

Buried alive
Inside these rotting walls
Ships in flames
There is nowhere to go
Escape through the desert
From this hell
You better run away

Crying town
Death's marching all around
The stench of fear
I smell in burning fire
What is more?
Water or gold?

(repeat Chorus)

The legend tells of Marco's
short love affair which happened
during these dark times...
