Drum cover by Argentinean drummer Hernán Rios.
"The Winged Horse (Henjo Richter)"
Album: Gamma Ray, "SOMEWHERE OUT IN SPACE" (1997).
This version is more of a somewhat free interpretation of how I remembered it without going into the details of the song in depth, improvising a little on the structure while respecting some obligatory ones.
Esta versión es más bien una interpretación algo libre de como lo recordaba sin ir a fondo al detalle de la canción, improvisando un poco sobre la estructura respetando algunos obligados.

Lyrics:
In a land, far beyond the sun
Rules the darkness, faceless magician
Black towers which raise into the sky
Castle of tears, shadows passing by
Blood is covering the mighty walls
Of those who lost their skin and bones
No one ever saw the light
Oh, slaves of the night
There's a young man, chained on a stake
Lifeless body, he has no strength to break
His shirt is bloody, his head is hanging down
He's mean to die, the ruler took his crown
The wind howls through the emptiness
A different sound as in the past
Screaming echoes in the lanes
Oh, victims of the pain
The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky
Light refract the dark and fills the place
White winged horse, such a powerful force
Gallops through the sky to break the chains
The winged horse lands by the one
It snorts and stamps, the escape has just begun
The chains are broken, silence fills the place
He backs the horse with his last ounce of strength
The white horse rears and spreads its wings
To reach the sky and search the kings
The one will lead to win at last
Oh, rulers of the past
The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky
Light refract the dark and fills the place
The white winged horse like a powerful force
Gallops through the sky to free the land
The white horse rears and spreads
The kings return, armed with mighty swords
To retake the land and banish evil thoughts
They fight against the shadows, captured souls of the dark might
Dethrone, the evil ruler to bring the sun to the night.
The battle takes heavy toll
But they achieve what they're fighting for
Now the land is free again
Oh, no more blood and pain
The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky
Light refract the dark and fills the place
White winged horse, such a powerful force
Gallops through the sky to free the land
But still at night when darkness rules again
Whispering shadows creeping through the lanes
Evil creatures of the expelled magician
Oh, it's a fight you'll never win
