I've heard the silence of the angels
I've seen betrayed my faith in men
And their conditions of salvation
In which so blindly they defend
Touch the light that crawls from the page
Ascension of heroes - strengthen the saints
Ascension of heroes - that call from the stage
The tyrant, he lives and dies by the sword
He has painted his face and tainted the Lord
Into the arena, his faith is restored
The mortal storm of fear that wages their will
To take away your names will keep the phantoms
In their cages and cast the children into flames
Touch the light that crawls from the page
Ascension of heroes - strengthen the saints
Ascension of heroes - that call from the stage
I loved you with all my heart and my soul
The conflict within is leading me home
The ghost and the godsend are standing alone
The birth of a new world awaits in your hands
With only your hopes and your dreams may you stand
Ascension of heroes - are waiting command
Ascension of heroes - awaiting the stand
