Through the Fire and Flames

Considered DragonForce's most famous song, this is the opening track from their third album Inhuman Rampage, as well as their first single from the album. The main reason for its popularity is its inclusion in the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Immediately after it was included in the game, DragonForce's record sales shot up by 126% in the following week.

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] On a cold winter morning In the time before the light In flames of Death's eternal reign We ride towards the fight When the darkness has fallen down And the times are tough, alright The sound of evil laughter falls Around the world tonight Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel Through the wastelands evermore The scattered souls will feel the hell Bodies wasted on the shores On the blackest plains in hell's domain We watch them as they go In fire and pain, now once again We know [Pre-Chorus] So now, we fly ever free, we're free before the thunderstorm On towards the wilderness, our quest carries on Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight Deep inside our hearts and all our souls [Chorus] So far away, we wait for the day-ay For the lives, all so wasted and gone We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days Through the fire and the flames, we carry on [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] As the red day is dawning And the lightning cracks the sky They'll raise their hands to the heavens above With resentment in their eyes Running back through the mid-morning light There's a burning in my heart We're banished from a time in a fallen land To a life beyond the stars In your darkest dreams, see to believe Our destiny this time And endlessly we'll all be free Tonight [Pre-Chorus] And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality All alone in desperation, now the time has gone Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind Day after day, this misery must go on [Chorus] So far away, we wait for the day-ay For the lives, all so wasted and gone We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days Through the fire and the flames, we carry on [Instrumental Break] [Post-Chorus] Whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oh oh oh... Whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oh oh oh... [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Now, here we stand with their blood on our hands We fought so hard now, can we understand? I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can For freedom of every man [Chorus] So far away, we wait for the day-ay For the lives, all so wasted and gone We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days Through the fire and the flames, we carry on [Instrumental Outro]
