From Blind Guardian's masterpiece "Imaginations From the Other Side" (1995). In my opinion their best album and quite possibly the all-time number one of the whole genre.
Lyrics:
I am god
The only one
I will bring back
Freedom to your heart
You won't believe
That blind can't see
No one else before me ever knew
The way to paradise
For another bloody crime
I shall return
I am your light on through the night
Why am I born
Will I fail to rise again
Another Crucifixion for
Another holy war
Can't stop what's going on
(repeat)
Sooner or later you must understand
My words bring freedom
And rescue for man
What else,
To call me your Messiah
Oh, I wish there could be another way
Cross and nails are already prepared
My sell out
Waits till I'm crucified
I will die before my vision ends
Why am I born
Will I fail to rise again
Another Crucifixion for
Another holy war
Can't stop what's going on
Wait for the dawn
To take me away
What will be if I fail
Another golden calve
Never, never ending
Pain and agony
Hit me, nail me make me god
Why am I born
Will I fail to rise again
Another Crucifixion for
Another holy war
Can't stop what's going on
(repeat)
Wikipedia: Imaginations from the Other Side is the fifth studio album by Blind Guardian that was released in 1995. The atmosphere of this album is darker in comparison to their earlier works, such as Battalions of Fear, which had a relatively light tone. This album also marks the first since their debut in which Kai Hansen (Gamma Ray) did not guest on vocals or guitar, and the last album to feature vocalist-bassist Hansi Kürsch as bassist. It was also their first album to spawn off any singles, in form of "A Past and Future Secret" and "Bright Eyes". It was remastered and re-released on 15 June 2007, with bonus tracks and videos.
