The Maiden And The Minstrel Knight
Blind Guardian
At Night At The Opera (2002)

the faithful crowd
is gathered here
soon they'll appear
the high and mighty show up
the king is in doubts
"apart from this beggar here
there's no one like you my dear
tasting my lips
no one but you and him"
round the fire everyone should sing
and praise the gracious queen
round the fire everyone should dance
and we praise the handsome knight
forever and ever we both will be one
the maiden, the fair and the young
fell in love

will you still wait for me
will you still cry for me
come and take my hand
will you still wait for me
will you still cry for me
come and take my hand

there's a moment in life
when all the years wil pass by
and the eyes filled with tears
we once shed
we recognize failures
the desperate cries
of the ones who believed in our lies

wherever I go you'll be with me
my first though and my last
though we'll depart in bitterness
one day you'll understand
carry on
beolved maiden, mine
carry on
or we have to pay the price

will you still wait for me
will you still cry for me
come and take my hand
will you still wait for me
will you still cry for me
come and take my hand

yesterday's memories
and melodies
are gone with the wind
so sad
snow-white her hands and golden her hair
but she's not the one
out in the emptyness
where everything's pale
there is no sign of you
I'm alone
how I wish you would be here
I'M alone
telling me it's alright
come and rest your head
come and rest your head
come and rest your head
come and rest your head
I'm alone and sadness reings in my heart
as long as we live it won't go away
we are one but torn apart

will you still wait for me
will you still cry for me
come and take my hand
will you still wait for me
will you still cry for me
come and take my hand

proudly it stands
until the worlds end
the victorious banner of love
