LYRICS
Full the moon, the midnight sky
Through the dark they ride
Warriors of forever will sacrifice their right
One for all and all for one,
The future time has come
Faces filled with torment
Your heart beats like a drum
Never you will look back again
You’ll fight until the end
Together we will live on, forever more
In this land we have defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we are defenceless
In a land where dragons rule
In this land we have defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we are defenceless
In a land where dragons rule…
Flash of steel in the midday sun, the battle has begun
Blood spills all around us but still we carry on
No mercy we will show them now, no white flag shall be raised
We fight for our freedom right control this evil craze
We all stand until the end…
Allegiance to this game
In this land we have defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we are defenceless
In a land where dragons rule
In this land we have defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we are defenceless
In a land where dragons rule
Sun sets in the western sky the battle’s almost done
Our victory will be glorious, our enemies all gone
We all stand until the end
Allegiance to this game
In this land we have defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we are defenceless
In a land where dragons rule
In this land we have defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we are defenceless
In a land where dragons rule
Solos: Herman/Sam/Herman/Sam/Herman/Sam/Together
In this land we have defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we are defenceless
In a land where dragons rule
In this land we have defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we are defenceless
In a land where dragons rule

I may sound like a grumpy old man, afraid to move on, but - I miss ZP's epic voice in Dragonforce. I guess DF is never truly gone as long as Sam & Herman are there (moreso Sam) but I can't help but feel gutted everytime I hear an older track with ZP. Marc has definitely come a looong way from his audition tapes in 2009 & had vastly improved. I'm glad he's there. But ZP really was the driving Force for me in this band & he always will be.

[@ShadowV]

I have to admit, I haven't been able to listen to anything Dragonforce have done since ZP left. He has such a story teller's voice that suited the band so perfectly. I did give Marc a shot at the start but I just couldn't lose myself in the songs anymore like I could with ZP

[@kaspibrasko]

I agree, but marc had such improvement over years that i can't imagine DF without Marc

[@draunt7]

This is why I stopped listening to DF. This voice is iconic to the sound of DF to me.

[@Destroyah5000]

These first four albums will always be special to me. There's something about their sound that makes me string songs between them into a playlist for awesome imaginary fight scenes. When The Power Within dropped I knew Marc would change it up a bit but ultimately I could barely get into it. Actively stopped caring about albums after Maximum Overload. Every song sounds nothing like the others but in a bad way.

[@gustavoaraujo6923]

The first album with Marc (The Power Within),he and Dragonforce were still discovering how they would be together. The followings albums were as a band that know who they are and what they want. You should give it another short. And still, ZP songs are still there for us to enjoy, as the songs with Marc are.

[@JayTor2112]

I felt the same way for a while, but he's grown on me. ZP is still the perfect voice for their music though.

I used to buy CD's from Japan and ship them to Sweden through some crazy website and it would cost a small fortune. Just to get the Japanese bonus tracks. However this is one of my all time favorite DragonForce songs. To be honest the first two albums are still the best in my opinion. Thanks for uploading this for everyone to enjoy.

It was because of this track and Cry of the Brave that enlightened me in the ways of "japanese exclusive tracks".

[@HihiouZabimaru182]

If ever there was a song made to be an anthem for a D&D campaign, it's this... currently, my party is in a campaign to defeat a dragon terrorizing the land. We are on a quest to retrieve a dragonslayer greatsword that would help us on this task, buried with a legendary fighter slain long ago. As the party fighter, it's on me to make sure it's not for nothing. It's on me to make sure the trouble we go through to retrieve this weapon will be worth the while. We will not be defenseless. We will be prepared. We will be ready. We will be relentless, in this land where dragons rule.

I agree. I've been a fan since I first discovered Through The Fire And Flames on Guitar Hero 3 but this is still not only my favorite DF album but it's the best one that they've ever put out. Idk what it is but there's just this magical quality that this album has that the other ones don't. There isn't a song that I don't love (I don't count Invocation Of Apocalyptic Evil for only being a 19 second intro to Valley Of The Damned that isn't even a real song.).
