Soldiers of the Wasteland Lyrics

[Intro/Chorus]
Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home

[Instrumental Break 00:10-01:28]

[Verse 1]
Crossing battles, savage seas towards the mountains high
Forest plains of wilderness we're striking out tonight
On towards our destiny we travel far and wide
Journey through the darkness as your hearts refuse to die
In the flames of hell we fire at will the fires of doom has come
With the forces of the blackest knights they're staring at the sun
Far across the distant plains of ice we're searching for the sword
When the time has come for battle now we follow with the horde

[Pre-Chorus]
We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky
In the land of long ago forever in our souls
Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright
In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again

[Chorus]
Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home
Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago
We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home
[Verse 2]
Fallen soldiers taste the steel of death, the daylight dawning
Sun will shine upon the lives of burning hearts of ice
As you break through the boundaries of life this feeling of despair
And they die in their sleep for the world that will not care
You feel lost in this labyrinth of pain, this sickening dismay
There's a voice inside that's calling another wasted day

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't you see the history, the suffocating madness?
In the land of fallen souls there's nowhere left, no place to go
I have traveled far and wide across this wasteland
Still searching for the answers for the right to understand

[Chorus]
Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home
Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago
We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home

[Instrumental Break 04:07-06:06]

[Bridge]
Riding through starlight and smashing the boundaries as hellfire falls from the sky
A shadow of pain will arise from the ashes of those fallen ones who have died
Our only master with fire and fury of hell will see his bidding done
Blasting from high as the battle unfolds to the gates of the city we come

[Instrumental Break 06:35-08:50]
[Guitar Solos]
[Keyboard Solos]

[Pre-Chorus]
We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky
In the land of long ago forever in our souls
Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright
In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again

[Chorus]
Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home
Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago
We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home

About

Genius Annotation

“Soldiers of the Wasteland” is the sixth and longest song of DragonForce’s second studio album Sonic Firestorm. It’s the second longest song of the band’s discography, spanning almost 10 minutes, beaten only by “The Edge of the World” (11 minutes) from their seventh studio album Reaching into Infinity. Soldiers of the Wasteland is also features in the remastered album Sonic Firestorm (2010 Edition) and their live album Twilight Dementia.

The song follows a group of warriors in an unspecified “wasteland”, across the wild lands they call home and through the many battles they fought. Whether the story takes place in a generic fantasy world (as is the case most of the time in DragonForce’s songs) or a post-apocalyptic modern era, is up to debate.
