Back in the time before time began
Was a city, so splendid and golden
Gilded halls and crystal towers reached for the sky
No darkness fell, no fear was held
No condemnation was there to tell
Before the fall, the purest power watched with his eyes
They came from a far and distant land
Bringing a war to us with their hands
They'd put us in chains, enslaved to the shadows
Great warriors fought to protect us
Mighty and ever so courageous
Assuring us peace and safety from all our foes
Freedom
Forever in the city of light
Freedom
Forever, for freedom we fight
Lies
For freedom
Lies
For freedom
Lies
For freedom dies in darkness
Back to the old world again
We're heading back to the old world
Back to the old world again
We're heading back to the old world
To see my home
In the night when darkness swallowed the city
We rose to meet the master of shadows
Through heartbreak and pain, suffering pity
We searched through the sky, the deserts and shallows
To step before the people and declare
There is no need to be scared
New heroes have come to secure our future
Then from above the ruler decreed
We were the ones at fault, in deed
A disease that he now planned to cure
Lies
For freedom
Lies
For freedom
Lies
For freedom dies in darkness
Back to the old world again
We're heading back to the old world
Back to the old world again
We're heading back to the old world
To see my home
A thousand years away from home
One thousand years out on our own
An island we learned to love so long
But this is not where we belong
Back to the old world again
We're heading back to the old world
Back to the old world again
We're heading back to the old world
To finally at long last see the place I call my home
