Vänlade - Hail the Protector

A call is heard where darkness roams
Beneath the realm of ash and bone
To his tower made of stone

Awoken from his ancient sleep
His lessons long since buried deep
One last time his armor shines

In time of need we call his name
He rises not for wealth or fame
His arrival bears a sign

The first of many timeless beings
To rule as gods and reign as kings
Should the power stay divine

We cry!

Hail the protector
From the underground
Bring down the hammer
Rise for freedom

Hail the protector
Let your name resound
Bring down the thunder
Rise for freedom

A relic from a darker time
So much lies hidden in his eyes
Wisdom lost so long ago

At last this ally makes a stand
And joins the fight to free the land
His club, like thunder, strikes again

Cry out!

Hail the protector
From the underground
Bring down the hammer
Rise for freedom

Hail the protector
Let your name resound
Bring down the thunder
Rise for freedom

Bring down all those who stand opposed
The followers of evil grow
Spears snap - axes are cracked
In the pit, the bodies thrown

Far overhead the giants clash
I cast a spell, a blinding flash
From the beast, a deafening cry
My power shifts the tide

Protector, now's the time
Defend the divine

His hammer falls like heaven's wrath
A shock wave ripples through the path
I raise my sword to lead the charge
O'er bloodied shields and bodies marred

I turn to see my ally fall
Victorious his final call
Wounds of battle take his life
Gone before his time

Protector, hear my cry
A song so divine

We sing!

Hail the protector
From the underground
Bring down the hammer
Rise for freedom

Hail the protector
Let your name resound
Bring down the thunder
Rise for freedom
