Edguy - Vain Glory Opera: lyrics de la chanson

(music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet)
The prayers have been spoken
may the gods be on my side
may they join my way to bring me victory
seven at one stroke
my triumph and my pride
will be history
but behind my enemies eyes
a soul in disguise
not only lies

We live to fight the hand of doom
we got the pride to strike a fool
vain glory be my wicked guide

what`s hell without a paradise
what`s the night without a day
we would think it`s bright
what`s a fall if we can`t rise
what`s a hero at a play
without a fool to fight

but behind my enemies eyes
a soul in disguise
