Knights of the 21st Century Lyrics
Words unspoken, sworn in secrecy
A burning flame for the ones who believe
The prophecy
Revelations from the sun as of the moon
In seven nights, we became history
The prophecy
On a cold dark night
We set our sails to search for land so far away
Searching for the truth
There's a howl in the wind
On this mystic trail of water, we sail on
The source of youth
And the storm breaks loose on the seven seas
Tag on the signs on the mounting sun
Northern light is shining on for us
Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow
Setting the sails into the future
Leave all your fears and your sorrows
From the mountain-side
Came a twisted wind, it brought us new insight
Whispering these words
?Come in the midst, you'll see?
Said a voice, I thought it was the prophecy
The secrecy unheard
And on the violent sea, there's tranquillity
We saw the signs on the mountain-side
Northern light is shining on for us
Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow
Setting the sails into the future
Leave all your fears and your sorrows
A secret passage never to be found
In front of us, a delusion of sight
The prophecy
From the mountains and the rivers down below
A silent breeze, there's a wail in the wind
The prophecy
We've come from a land so far away
We bow down to the words you pray
Storming down the mountain side
No place to go, no place to hide
-INSTRUMENTAL-
Here we stand, under cover the moonlight
Oh, the prophecy was bound to fail
Here we are, nowhere to be found
We're trapped in another world and the journey's just begun
Ah, ah, ah...
Northern light is shining on for us
Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow
Setting the sails into the future
Leave all your fears and your sorrows
Northern light is shining on for us
Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow
Setting the sails into the future
Leave all your fears and your sorrows
A burning flame for the ones who believe
The prophecy
In seven nights, we became history
The prophecy
We set our sails to search for land so far away
Searching for the truth
On this mystic trail of water, we sail on
The source of youth
Tag on the signs on the mounting sun
Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow
Setting the sails into the future
Leave all your fears and your sorrows
Came a twisted wind, it brought us new insight
Whispering these words
Said a voice, I thought it was the prophecy
The secrecy unheard
We saw the signs on the mountain-side
Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow
Setting the sails into the future
Leave all your fears and your sorrows
In front of us, a delusion of sight
The prophecy
A silent breeze, there's a wail in the wind
The prophecy
We bow down to the words you pray
Storming down the mountain side
No place to go, no place to hide
Oh, the prophecy was bound to fail
Here we are, nowhere to be found
We're trapped in another world and the journey's just begun
Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow
Setting the sails into the future
Leave all your fears and your sorrows
Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow
Setting the sails into the future
Leave all your fears and your sorrows

Listening to this right now. I think the beginning's a bit... odd =\ But it's really an epic. Over twelve minutes long... wow. Not what I'd expect from HammerFall. Still great though.
Defieetlly epic...the ending scares me XD
I was only about halfway through this song, when I officially decided that this was my favorite Hammerfall song. It's extremely cheesy, but hell, that's what good power metal is after all.
templar knights. prove me wrong.
cronos is amazing in this song...this tells me that hammerfall are fans of black metal...at least early black metal
Just a fantasy tale - i don't think there is a second meaning to it. If there is, though, it would be something like "don't care about the past and don't mind the propecies, just do your thing and look into the future".
