Fear of the hero

The dungeon waits beneath the stone A thousand steps into the unknown The entrance stands in shadows deep Guarding the secrets that never sleep The hero stops before the gate His heart is beating, he feels the weight Something is watching from the dark Something is waiting beyond the mark The enemy is hidden in the shade Ancient magic guards the way The deeper he goes, the darker it becomes There is no turning back from what he's done Fear of the hero, fear in his eyes Something is waiting where the darkness lies The dungeon is calling, the magic is strong One step inside and the night will be long He needs his allies, he needs their light He cannot face every shadow in the night Brave is the heart, but courage alone May not be enough when he stands alone Ancient runes are carved in stone Resisting every step he takes alone The flaming sword is ready to fight Burning like fire against the night But every doorway hides a threat Every shadow is a living silhouette The ancient magic begins to rise A thousand secrets behind his eyes An elder could help if the magic is revealed Ancient powers could become his shield But distant friends cannot hear his call He must face the darkness or lose it all Fear of the hero, fear in his eyes Something is waiting where the darkness lies The dungeon is calling, the magic is strong One step inside and the night will be long He needs his allies, he needs their light He cannot face every shadow in the night Brave is the heart, but courage alone May not be enough when he stands alone He takes one breath and crosses the line Leaving the world of the living behind The ancient doors begin to close No one can know what waits below His friends are far, far away No voice can reach him where he stays He grips the sword and enters the night Alone with his fate, alone with the fight {Whispered Vocals} Do you feel them? In the darkness... Do you hear them? They're coming... {Gang Vocals} Fight! Fight! Do not turn away! Run! Run! Or face the end today! The flames are burning The shadows arise The ancient runes Are opening their eyes Magic surrounds him The darkness draws near The hero is shaking But refuses to fear Fear of the hero, fear in his eyes Something is waiting where the darkness lies The dungeon is calling, the magic is strong One step inside and the night will be long No friends beside him, no one to save Only the sword and the heart of the brave Lucky in battle, or lost in the night He will discover his fate in the fight Rise! Rise! Into the darkness! Fight! Fight! Against the unknown! No turning back! No place to hide! The hero enters... And fate is inside! {Whisper} Alone... Alone in the dark...
