The Edge of the World Lyrics
In times of fear and mystery, when the gods had ruled the earth
Sound the bells of victory, the sign of our rebirth
How many died in vain, like waves against the shore
No one hears their whispers anymore
Lost, like the hope in the battle we fought
Through the cold and the rain
Gone, like the years in the shadows and pain, unknown
I've seen through the eyes of the dead
And suffered for them time and again
Granted with immortality
The price for the savior of humanity
Rise from the ashes of mankind
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world
Long, is the journey, oh, long is the road
As the sun rises over the world
The quest is hard 'til the battle can end
But I have the power in my hands
I've seen through the eyes of the dead
And suffered for them time and again
Granted with immortality
The price of eternity for the chosen one
Rise from the ashes of mankind
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world
Honor, the god of Enlil
Silence for the beast is now the prey
Denied a chance for life
I take back that what is mine
Die
Wrath, we rule the skies
May the rain cleanse and wash away
Imperfect, these creations of mine
Corrupted by greed, they shall pay
Chosen, saved from death's embrace
One last chance for man to change his ways
Deified, a place amongst the gods
Saved from mankind's own demise
Rise from the ashes of mankind
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world
From the ashes of mankind
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world
At the end of the journey for the savior of the earth
Sound the bells of victory through the signs of our rebirth
As the shadows fade away, we watch the new sun rise
No one fears the darkness anymore
Sound the bells of victory, the sign of our rebirth
How many died in vain, like waves against the shore
No one hears their whispers anymore
Through the cold and the rain
Gone, like the years in the shadows and pain, unknown
And suffered for them time and again
Granted with immortality
The price for the savior of humanity
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world
As the sun rises over the world
The quest is hard 'til the battle can end
But I have the power in my hands
And suffered for them time and again
Granted with immortality
The price of eternity for the chosen one
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world
Silence for the beast is now the prey
Denied a chance for life
I take back that what is mine
Die
May the rain cleanse and wash away
Imperfect, these creations of mine
Corrupted by greed, they shall pay
Deified, a place amongst the gods
Saved from mankind's own demise
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world
He walks into the fire
With the fate of us all in his hands
And the sadness fills his eyes
The prophecies of Babylon
As he stands at the edge of the world
Sound the bells of victory through the signs of our rebirth
As the shadows fade away, we watch the new sun rise
No one fears the darkness anymore

@ethan11487 Some people say it's about the Epic of Gilgamesh but I don't see it at all. First of all, It constantly refers to a saviour of humanity. Gilgamesh never attempted to be any kind of saviour of humanity. He wanted to become immortal. Not to mention Babylon didn't exist when Gilgamesh mythologically was around. There were no prophecies of Babylon for Gilgamesh to fulfill. Gilgamesh didn't suffer for anyone except for himself and for Enkidu (his best friend) and I guess his kingdom since he was a king.

There were no prophecies of Babylon for Gilgamesh to fulfill. Gilgamesh didn't suffer for anyone except for himself and for Enkidu (his best friend) and I guess his kingdom since he was a king. The only weird thing is the phrase "Honor the god of Enlil". Enlil WAS the chief deity of the Sumerian pantheon (and later a god in the Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, and Hurrian pantheons). Enlil was, however, the god of wind/air (among other things), so it could be a sort of cross-thing between Sumerian mythology and Christianity, with Enlil being the Holy Ghost. That's just my theory though.
@williamed6 I was literally confirmed by DragonForce themselves that it's about the epic of Gilgamesh.
