DragonForce - Above The Winter Moonlight Lyrics






[Music: Vadim Pruzhanov, Lyrics: Vadim Pruzhanov, Sam Totman, Herman Li, ZP Theart]

On wings of burning fire across the oceans far
The legends of the seven seas and mystic fallen star
Their laden ships are sailing on towards the sun
To the island of the everlasting chosen one

Face our fear along the way our freedom will prevail
The crown and the shining light
Punishment and anger in the fire of your soul
Prepare the eternal fight

Lost in a dream in a boundless sea
Rivers of pain are guiding me
Defending this land from the sins of man
Never surrender our dreams again

Ride forever onwards stare into the sun
Where hopes and dreams are everlasting marching on and on
Rise another day across the distant skies
Where the dawn above the winter moonlight shines upon the fall of our lives

Insanity sublime shall make by bleeding heart
Feel cold and fearless anger rising far beyond the dark
In search of might and wisdom sacrifice our souls
In the name of truth and justice never to be told

Face our fear along the way our freedom will prevail
The crown and the shining light
Punishment and anger in the fire of your soul
Prepare the eternal fight
Can you not feel the eternal pain
Flows through your heart and every vein
The torture begins and it breaks you down
Nothing to save when the soul is gone

Ride forever onwards stare into the sun...

[Solos - Herman / Sam / Herman / Sam]

    A.... ....

    Very Good

    A.... ....

    That guy has a nice mustache.

  51. J.... ....

    I can imagine playing FF15 to this.... or any other JRPG really..

  52. G.... S....

    This song should be listened after Black Winter Moonlight, than it makes sense.

  53. W.... ....

    Tens years and this still kicks a lot of ass!

    W.... ....

    The album was actually released in 2004, so more like 13 years.

  54. D.... ....

    what is the drumming called at 3:18

    D.... ....

    why did you respond to ME saying it was Vadim

    D.... ....

    I didn't ask YOU who the pianist was I asked MrWantedCow and he told ME who the pianist was it had nothing to do with your original question about the drummer it was a completely SEPARATE question I wanted to know who the pianist was so I asked HIM not U

    D.... ....

    keyboardist not pianist he is a keyboard player not a piano player

    D.... ....

    Wtf is the difference?!

    D.... ....

    The difference is that an piano is an acoustic instrument with a bit heavy keys whereas a keyboard is electric instrument, with lighter keys, and uses a power source to play.

  55. G.... -....

    This is the song that got me hooked on DragonForce. Before this I never cared for Heavy Metal.
    A decade later and it's still epic music.

    G.... -....

    this is power metal heavy metal is slayer but beside that my first song was epm

    G.... -....

    slayer is thrash metal btw

    G.... -....

    My first metal/metal subgenre song was The final Episode (Let's Change the Channel) by Asking alexandria

    G.... -....

    Aristophane Deparis hey me again. I was very stupid to say that. I am now metalcore and thrash metal guy. Sabaton is my most fav band but this song always reminds me that Dragonforce will be forever in my heart as the first band to hook me to metal music.

  56. F.... D....

    :S i was searching for quest for legion wow and found this one haha awesome

  57. A.... A....

    sonic forever Saudades

  58. P.... D....

    I wonder what Marc Hudson's take would sound like

    P.... D....

    You mean that like Marc ruined lots of ZP's original work? Cause I agree 100% he should of just done more of his own music instead of interfering with the original work of ZP

    P.... D....

    I mean the Albums. While it's still alright, their older works were much better with longer/better guitar solos and less 'gaming' sounds. Marc should sing his own songs more, since his voice doesn't fit the older songs, at all. However, they can't just play the new stuff and leave the classics out, so it's a sticky situation. I don't hate Marc or anything, his voice is still great but not for ZP's songs.

    P.... D....

    Exactly like they have no choice but to play the older ones too.....they were meant for ZP Marc is good but I much prefer the old classic ZP.....especially this album sonic firestorm and also ultra beat down

    P.... D....

    Arrinao what? The remastered Starfire has the cleanest vocals I’ve ever heard.

    P.... D....

    If only they played this song live, but instead they play the same repetitive setlist since 2015. It sucks so bad

  59. J.... W....

    Man, this might seem weird, but at 4:55 when that solo starts I can just imagine myself riding a fucking unicorn through the night moonlight xD

    J.... W....

    Same XD

    J.... W....

    John Wayne Gacy I believe you spelled dragon wrong

    J.... W....

    That would be the most hardcore ride ever!!!!😂

  60. e.... s....

    it's fcuking awesome song, but i'm like this song in speed 1.25

  61. E.... ....

    Finally found the correct name for this song after half a decade!!! *^*

    E.... ....

    Same here, took a couple years but I finally did it. It's so AWESOME

    E.... ....

    Just out of curiosity, was it because it was named incorrectly in a downloaded file? Because I got this album from a friend who, I found out later, torrented it and the song names were all wrong. So I thought it was called something else for YEARS.

    E.... ....

    I got this song named incorrectly as "Sonic Firestorm"
    =.=;

    E.... ....

    +Elit3Blaze
    that would be the album, I believe.

    E.... ....

    Elit3Blaze Same problem here hahahaha i've got it as "Soldiers of the wasteland" for years 😂

  62. J.... W....

    Dragonforce rules

  63. P.... ....

    this song is fucking awesome... will they ever come to Spain??

    P.... ....

    do you like dark moor

  64. F.... B....

    Lots of keyboard solos in this song. This is what happens when you let the keyboardist write the music for one of your songs.

    F.... B....

    Darrow Nemecek-Gulack Vadim has got some great skills, they give him some decent play time in alot of songs thankfully.

    F.... B....

    I just LOVE the piano intro in Dawn Over a New World, they all have mad skills, wish they'd come back to the US so I could go to another of their concerts!

  65. G.... C....

    transmite uma energia muito boa essa musica, DragonForce é uma terapia sonara que me dá muita força.

    G.... C....

    +Giovana Caldas Figueiredo realmente muito bom sou fanatico por essa banda incrivel... mas to triste pq eles tao fazendo turne mundial mas n vao vir no brasil :'(

    G.... C....

    tbm to triste :(

    G.... C....

    evandro silva né queria ver eles

  66. K.... B....

    Anyone ever noticed the outro?? ITS AMAZING!!!!

    K.... B....

    its the keyboard

    K.... B....

    Nothing will ever top the outro to valley of the damned

    K.... B....

    yeh I noticed it, it's at the end of the song right?

    K.... B....

    Anyone ever notice this song though? How many people still havent heard the best of Df outside of fire n flames

    K.... B....

    Yep, Dragonforce has many good outros, Where Dragons Rule, The Sun is Dead, Above the Winter Moonlight, Fury of The Storm, and of course, Valley of the Dammed

  67. s.... 9....

    Dragonforce's music sounds like they should be in animes or something

    s.... 9....

    Fairy Tail

    s.... 9....

    ew.. fok animes.. nothing personal man i mean how can you compare that cartoon shit to music on this level of epicness.

    s.... 9....

    SSBGOD 1223 YES!!!!!

  68. K.... P....

    Es la mejor cancion de dragon force

  69. M.... ....

    BRs eu vos envoco em nome da zoeira

  73. M.... P....

    nothing to say when the soul is gone

  74. J.... S....

    BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  75. J.... D....

    One of the best DF songs. I love the lightness of the solo, its theme and how it opens up in the second part (5:31), much epic, very feel.

  76. B.... ....

    definitely one of DFs best songs.

    B.... ....

    +xXBCARLXx Die by the sword is the better. for me of course :)

    B.... ....

    I can't get away from Three Hammers, The Game, and City Of Gold (#1, #2, and #3 respectively)

    B.... ....

    try hear, The last journey home.

    B.... ....

    Necrobones Plus I agree with three hammers and city of gold, but the game had the shittest DF solo ever.

    B.... ....

    THE best

  77. G.... L....

    Good song!! lml

  78. R.... A....

    Such an epic ending sequence!  Love it.

  79. T.... ....

    This on 2x speed is better than sex...

    T.... ....

    +TheDrWeirdo Have you fucked before?

    T.... ....

    Yes, it was horrifying.
    I stand by my statement.

  80. N.... ....

    I MUST'VE MISSED THE CAPS LOCK PARTY?!

  81. N.... H....

    esta culero

    N.... H....

    @Nely House Hudson esto es una obra maestra , tu estas bien culera!!!!

  82. M.... ....

    Probably the best song they have done. Awesome guitar intro and great rhythm throughout

    M.... ....

    @MDGolfaddict mmmmmmm nah, Through the fire and flames is their best song by 10 miles this for a fact, but still a good song

    M.... ....

    @Luke Alvarez Through the Fire is great, but I'd pick either Fields of Despair, Inside the Winter Storm, Heroes of Our Time, or well, almost anything from Inhuman Rampage!

    M.... ....

    @Robert Anderson I'm with you. It's hard to beat anything from Inhuman Rampage. Revolution Deathsquad is my all-time favorite.

    M.... ....

    @Kayla G IMO, they really don't have any stinker songs, but there's a sameness to all of them, except for the one slow song on each album, which are just as excellent!  None such songs on the Power Within from 2012 though, pretty solid record.

    M.... ....

    Robert Anderson well, The Last Man Standing is one of my favorites. The beginning vocals and last scream are really awesome.

  83. E.... ....

    I DONT GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT THE IRON BOWL I WANNA LISTEN TO DRAGONFORCE

    E.... ....

    lol dude

    E.... ....

    +EPICNESS What about... one shit? ;D

  84. B.... R....

    beautiful song

  85. E.... ....

    Barley 5 seconds in and I already love this song

  86. V.... V....

    DRAGONFORCE FOR FUCKING EVEER!!!!!!!!!!!!

  87. S.... t....

    listen to this at 2x speed. i dare you.

    S.... t....

    I did it. Isn't as good though.

  88. B.... C....

    The one line in the song that mentions "rivers of pain", I swear it says "Rivers of pain, I gag in them" but every lyric site I look at says "Rivers of pain are guiding me" which doesn't even sound close. Am I the only one who hears this?

    B.... C....

    Bryan Core 100% man especially the 1st time. It’s clear as day gag in them

  89. B.... k....

    zp vs marc

  90. A.... A....

    I have a feeling whoever writes their lyrics are serious PC gamers lol. No disrespect intended...

    A.... A....

    ZP and i believe Herman Li

    A.... A....

    i heard somewhere a lot of Dragonforce lyrics are actually about the real world. just told in really "epic" words. like "insanity sublime shall make my bleeding heart feel cold and fearless anger rising far beyond the dark" just means sadness/anger. and "Defending this land from the sins of man / never surrender our dreams again" and lyrics like that are about standing against the evil in the real world.

    A.... A....

    Spyro the Dragon old comment I know lol but Li and Totman actually do happen to be gamers

    A.... A....

    lol no shit, i used to use it for play wow back in the days

    A.... A....

    yeah, must play tons of minecraft

  91. C.... A....

    This sounds like a theme song for something like fucking pokemon or Yugio 

    C.... A....

    Well, i didn't hear gotta catch them all from pokemon.
    And i didn't heard the yugio theme song.

  92. r.... ....

    6:30 until end.... excellent....

    r.... ....

    Vadim 'genius' Pruzhanov's Area..

  93. M.... M....

    My favorite song from them is disciples of babylon.

    M.... M....

    Marcus Mardeen that happens to one of my least favourite songs by them. but i respect your opinion.

  94. T.... A....

    This song makes me very happy for some reason XD

    T.... A....

    It is a bit different than their other songs. It is softer than their other songs, but just as fast and epic.

    T.... A....

    @John Adams I never said it wasn't ^,^

  95. d.... ....

    This song is all types of awsome!!!

  96. R.... K....

    OMG, this is ma song <3<3<3<3<3
