LYRICS
On a cold dark winter night, hidden by a stormy light
A battle rages for the right, for what will become
In the valley of the damned, a warrior with sword in hand
He travels fast across the land, for freedom he rides
And the sign from the master on high
He screams aloud and across hear the cry
For the kingdom of fire and ice
And the power to be alive
Be strong ride on, carry on through the war
Come along carry on, living for ever more
On the wings of death, by the hands of doom
By the darkest light from the darkest moon
Crossing silent seas, over mountains high
For we stand as one tonight
On the black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will call us
He’ll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light
In the valley of the damned
Day breaks with golden strand
Over pastures green it glows
To where night returns
In the shadows faces appear
Warriors wearing full metal gear
Join together one and all before the glorious light
Rise up, gather ‘round, come and hear what is said
Use your senses open your mind don’t you ever forget
On the wings of life, by the hands of hope
By the brightest light from the brightest sun
Crossing silent seas over mountains high
To the valley of the damned!
On the black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will call us
He’ll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light
Solos - Herman/Sam/Herman/Sam/Herman/Sam
On the black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will call us
He’ll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over…
The black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will call us
He’ll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light…
Solo: Herman

Entah di mana kaset pita saya ini, dulu selalu dengar lagu lagu album ini, valley of the damned dan disciple of babylon lagu yang selalu saya nyanyikan saat bermain band dengan teman sekolah 🤘 Waktu mungkin takkan kembali , tapi ingatan selalu tersimpan, dan saat ini saya hanya tersenyum mengingat itu semua Salam dari indonesia 🇮🇩

[@wantoscorpions621]

Salam dari Surabaya bosss

[@AOIXenocide]

I remember discovering this song back when you called yourselves "Dragonheart". This is still one of my favorites. I see lots of comments about "being teenagers". I was 30 when I first heard this. I am 52 now and still love to listen to Dragonforce. I just checked my Winamp playlist and I still have this song listed as "Dragonheart" Talk about a throwback.

[@Shabadabadia]

I vividly remember it was Dragonheart on the album cover. But I thought I was having a Mandela effect episode.

[@Moolers]

This song took power metal to another level and it's still their best to this day.

[@XhilinaStorm]

This brings back so many memories. I remember listening to this back after I got into DragonForce 12-14 years ago. Sounds really good, still!

[@RadicalDan4]

Love it! This is one of my favorite songs of all time and I am glad they are re-uploading them with better quality

[@TheIndieGhost]

we bouta get a 1500 pp play with this one

[@sirzechsazazel1150]

This is still my favorite power metal song of all time bar none

[@jonathanblackwell42]

I love how DragonForce makes Canon in D sound in this chorus. This is what I hear whenever I'm at a wedding and Pachelbel's version comes on. I grin, no one notices, and everybody wins.

[@SheppiTSRodriguez]

Sounds super clean and airy, love it

[@DomainObject]

This is beyond awesome! Thank you.. …. Next topic… when does the new album drop?

[@harleyalano6951]

there's no way KZbin gonna remove this without any goddamn proof of copyright and just claiming some random dude

[@bread_girl_jane]

you’d be surprised

[@darkknight2346]

Its definitely possible. KZbin copyright system is hot garbage

[@Olakoo]

[@crackstuntman22]

[@CareyDod]

I would love to hear Marc sing these. ZP did a great job, just love Marc's voice!!

[@toxinwastaken9103]

There is a live version where Marc is on vocals, and yes, he nailed the vocals on it.

[@sandrogameplay264]

Escuto Dragonforce desde os 11 anos meu sonho um dia conseguir ir num show desses caras,,. ❤️❤️🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@keironsmiles1530]

Great song, brings me me back to when I first listened to this band, keep it up guys

[@StrumVogel]

I remember when DragonForce was featured on a small little side bar on Guitar World magazine. The next year they blew up. When Through The Fire and Flames came out, I wanted to quit playing guitar. But I didn’t.

[@z9topz9top13]

the best movie i ive ever heard

[@govermet]

Nice, I only heard this song on the live album from the gig in tokyo so far 🤘

[@ChillingWithChu]

Still one of my faves after all these years. I still wish I could have gotten the shirt but oh well

[@fonztheonly]

20+ years ago the first time i heard this song(the demo i think) and it was a total blast, im not a huuuuge DF fan or power metal in general( i mean i like it but not my favourite genre )but today i wanted to remember my youth years and wanted to hear this amazing song ! im almost 37

[@ДенисГолубев-о4е]

30 FRICKING 7?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!

[@olympus__]

Well… it seems like this video will be deleted. f*ck the youtube copyright system

[@fyve2806]

Nice video length

[@AllFound1]

WYSI

[@KimballBerht]

Listened to this back in 2004 when i was in highschool, it blew my mind at the time as I'd heard nothing like it, so i have to say this is still my favourite album by DF.

[@carljustinvelasquez2289]

It feels like this song is the bgm for the final level of the game.

[@linkjs2006]

The intro riff is really the only part of the song I get hyped for

[@ShellSmashed]

one of the all time bangers! thanks for releasing it for the world! long may dragonforce last!

[@NerdHerdForLife]

I would love to find more bands with songs like THIS. I enjoy DFs newer stuff too, but it's not at all the same as the old stuff which I just love way more.

[@hamakakun]

Thank you! will make sure each song gets a million view

[@falloutfan6649]

I think next year we need a 20th anniversary edition with the new HQ versions. I promise to buy it on vinyl and blast it through my house!

[@jaskajokunen1572]

Very nice song! Thank you Dragonforce. I Love you!

[@filjan44]

Pachelbel still getting the views. Great song!

[@spartan7852]

My favorite song! And will always be, second is The Last Dragonborn

[@Ferjpb]

Saudades desse vocal do ZP 🥲

[@rileytheflamingwookiecooki5646]

Awesome.

[@lDeskFTW]

Pls get the Japanese bonus tracks on Spotify, Scars of yesterday and Lost souls in endless time are fking godlike

[@LuizHenrique-gl4fy]

Obrigado Guitar Hero 3 por me apresentar nesse lendária banda.

[@jeremoo]

[@nokiamfs3310]

[@SuviTuuliAllan]

Cheerio! This piece is rather metal. 🧐

[@progger1638]

Azeroth, leveling my paladin through Loch Modan, Wetlands while playing DF songs...ah good old days.

[@fernandomurilloVEVO]

This song is a masterpiece, butI feel this song less..... Powerful? Idk, is like something's missing in the back of the all the noises...... I don't really know, I'm not a musician but I feel this version less epic for some reason :/ Love you guys 💚

[@ponml123]

Valley and Sonic on vinyl???????

[@andrewpatterson3662]

People might say Through the Fire and the Flames is the anthem of DragonForce, but I say Valley of the Damned is the true anthem.

[@KittycatKye]

I can't agree with you more! TTFAF blew my mind when I first heard it, but this song is arguably more representative of the band as a whole.

[@sirzechsazazel1150]

This. It's THE Dragonforce song

[@erikaalmeidavega78]

Couldn't agree with you more Andrew!! TTFAF is I guess the most well known around the world, but as you say, Valley is the definition of a true anthem! It's certainly the first track that comes to my mind when I think Dragonforce! x 😃💣💥🤘🖤🎸🥁🎶🎤

[@lunarslingshot1442]

Totally agree with this. LOVE this tune.

[@Dino-god69]

im torn between this and soldiers of the wasteland but agreed nonetheless lol

[@mitchellneu]

Got into DragonForce in high school 10 years ago. One of my favorite DragonForce songs back then, and still is today!

[@flightg97shadowgarth32]

For me, it has been 9 years since I got into DragonForce. I was in 7th grade when I discovered and fell in love with their music.

[@GuillermoSmyser]

I got into them in high school (longer than 10yr tho!) and my gf at the time gave me this album on CD when she realized it was the only one I didn’t have. Very considerate and one of the nicest gifts I’ve gotten. No occasion, just “here ya go”

[@bubonikkronik6561]

thats awesome. Same for me, but high school was 15 year ago!

[@Moolers]

I heard this when it came out in 2003, but it still blew me away even though I had already listened to a lot of power metal.

[@SidewinderEdinburgh]

I also got I to them in high school... 20yrs ago lol

[@howwrs]

WHEN YOU FUCKING SEE IT

[@ChomikBox2115]

[@glycerr4014]

Marc is a great singer, i really like him, but Z.P. Theart's voice is the most iconic one for Dragonforce (in my opinion)

[@Angel_Investor_Music]

Agreed. Marc is a great singer in his own right, but his voice is more generic. ZP has a very unique voice that is both raspy and melodic, which gives him a better emotional range. It's a shame he hasn't done anything interesting after Dragonforce. His hard-rock band I Am I didn't really go anywhere after their mediocre first album. He also did an album called Valley of Tears with a band called Tank. It has a couple of decent songs, but overall I feel that ZP's talents are wasted in these relatively unknown bands when he made a name for himself in such a big band as Dragonforce. I really hope he will come back to the power metal scene at some point.

[@GuitarHeroRocks99]

But this 2010 remaster came out before ZP left the band, so it's still him singing this

[@Angel_Investor_Music]

@@GuitarHeroRocks99 We know. That's why we're reminiscing about what a good singer he was.

[@NSDCTwitch]

Agreed, Marc is fantastic, ZP has that voice that reminds me of childhood :)

[@ReminiscentIndustries]

It's a shame that his voice was as good live. If that weren't the case, the band might look different now.

[@-Zstar]

Accolibed theme song

[@neildanub5300]

pp record

[@eliasamiand299]

7:27 long song, legendary pp record, just need a 300 bpm version of the song 😂😂

[@YetoKnight]

This ending solo. I heard this solo for the first time about 2010 and after listening so many bands/songs, it's still one of my fav guitar solo. Narration. Emotions. Guys, I started play guitar because of DragonForce and solo like this.

[@Enigmaeus]

Valley of the Damned is such a gem of a song. The album is also an instant classic and timeless in every way!

[@Rafael_Oiticica]

When I discovered DragonForce with TTFAF, I wanted to listen to their discography and started with this album. My teenage brain exploded listening to these first tracks, and I was bonded with the band for the rest of my life. I keep DF deep in my heart! One thing I like to say is about their lyrics having something magical... The only thing people say is that it appears to be taken off some anime opening/ending... Yeah, they do (lol), but no one ever talks about their metaphors and the way they say things. I love it so much and never found any other band that did even similar. 😊

[@Rafael_Oiticica]

@@gabbygator1637 It is for sure! Like Helloween says in the Walls of Jericho: heavy metal is the law that keep we all united and free... :)

[@llledestroyerll]

I think it is!

[@hernanar3647]

The change in the pre-chorus from "On the wings of death by the hands of doom, by the darkest light from the darkest moon" to "On the wings of life, by the hands of hope, by the brightest light from the brightest sun", is amazing. I just don't have the words, but is the only way that they can add more emocion to an already very emocional pre-chorus. Is very good musical resource.

[@schneider1_]

AkoliGoat

[@mikewalkey7520]

That outro is honestly one of the finest moments in all of power metal! If one sound clip could be played to anyone to show them what power metal instrumentation is all about it should be those last two minutes.

[@KrokusTG1369]

Valley of The Dammed is so amazing. The whole album, especially this insane song. That opening riff is such ahhhhhh!

[@bl4z3_kanazaki]

akolibed the goat and WYSI!!!!

[@antaresthirdeldenlord4840]

I believe this song has the best outro of any of their songs. Its such an amazing ending to a song.

[@mikewalkey7520]

Fully agree! One of my all time favorite guitar passages. So melodic and emotive. Hearing this outro for the first time as a teenager always gave me goosebumps. So epic!

[@notaleun4012]

Agreed

[@atannaz]

Agreed..Always

[@mkz4383]

judgement day is second imo

[@PhilipBarron]

Heroes of Our Time also has a very good outro.

[@cals.8221]

I still remember the good old time when this song was offered as a free mp3 on the official website. Of course it wasn't the remixed and remastered version back then. Actually, many bands offered a few free songs on their websites to give new people a taste of their music and stuff, but nowadays that's not necessary anymore because of KZbin, Spotify etc.

[@Walocial]

One of the best Dragonforce albums!

[@dogenguyen2187]

yeah

[@lukethedaydreamer]

SAVE VALLEY OF THE DAMNED

[@ElaborateTiger]

This is an amazing cover of Gary George. I remember when Gary George first released Valley of the Damned in 1995, it was the song of the summer!

[@ddldickinson]

I'm here just to see this comment... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ДенисГолубев-о4е]

THE VIDEO LENGTH WYSI

[@dasiodhskjfxg69]

WE'RE SUBMITING 1500PP WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥

[@metal_bassist]

KZbin needs to be better at copyright, gonna watch this before it gets taken down.

[@Zadrigo]

Discovered this so long ago, as I was waiting impatiently for the official album of the group whose demo I enjoyed very much, called Dragonheart. I still remember it clearly. It happened on a Black Winter Night, when Revelations were shown to me in the Black Fire, as my Heart was beating like the one of the Dragon, and Evening Star was spewing Starfire. Yes, it happened in Babylon and I immediately became its Disciple, invoking Apocalyptic Evil.

[@yukiimarainfinite]

Dragonforce was the reason I love and live through Power Metal! Been listening to them since their Demo Album DragonHeart.

[@yukiimarainfinite]

You didn't get back to me after I sent the shipping fee... whats up?

[@Vffhndsercchi]

What do I think? Simply that this is infact the greatest song ever made. I know everyone thinks Through the Fire and Flames when people think of you guys, but this song specifically is a true masterpiece. There is absolutely nothing like it. Aside from the culture in our country leading to depreciate of quality music like this. Unfortunately as we all know, rap and hip hop and certain other music has taken over. But if that wasn't the case and if we could go back to when rock prevailed as the primary music our culture, this song would be hailed as greatest of all time. If this song was released in say, the 1980's your band would be in the same popularity realm as GNR, queen, the Beatles, bands that are in a league of their own that is impossible to recreate the magic. This song should be played in stadiums during sporting events. I love at least 80 percent of your music, new and old. But this song is one of the gems that escalate the definition of perfection. When you play you feel the energy like nothing else. My father, in his 80'$ before he past was a rock enthusiast, he loves one things more than his own kids and that a guitar solo, he lived and breathed guitar solos. When I shown him this song, he couldn't believe it, I've never seen him smile any harder and he referred to it as the greatest in the main song solo of all time. So guys, my dad was my best friend and everything to me. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for bonding me closer to him and having some of the most memorable times I've ever had. Your creativity truly made our life better and our connection stronger than ever. Thank you.

[@griffinmoore8274]

If this isn't blasting when the trumpets of Jesus hail and the battle of heaven and hell begins I'm going to be disappointed

[@prim16]

I'll never forget the emotions this song induced in me

[@skulkloe]

One of the best songs DF has released thus far, and one of my all time favorites.

[@Wire_Mesh_Police]

This is a raid boss song

[@StefanosPapadopoulos-yz7xl]

The ending solo is my favourite thing in the world

[@slametriadi9163]

This one is called the valley of the damned On a cold dark winter night, hidden by the stormy light A battle rages for the right for what will become In the valley of the damned a warrior with sword in hand Travels fast across the land for freedom he rides And the sign from the master on high screams aloud and across hear the cry For the kingdom of fire and ice and the power to be alive Be strong ride on, carry on through the war Come along carry on, living for ever more On the wings of death by the hands of doom By the darkest light from the darkest moon Crossing silent seas over mountains high For we stand as one tonight On the black wind forever we ride on together Destroying your evil with freedom our guide When the master will storm us He'll stand high before us Our hearts filled with splendour Our swords will shine over the light In the valley of the damned Days breaks with golden strand Over pastures green it glows To where night returns In the shadows faces appear Warriors wearing full metal gear All join together one and all Before the glorious light Rise up, gather around Come and hear what is said Use your senses open your mind Don't you ever forget On the wings of life, by the hands of hope By the brightest light from the brightest sun Crossing silent seas over mountains high To the valley of the damned On the black wind forever we ride on together Destroying your evil with freedom our guide When the master will storm us He'll stand high before us Our hearts filled with splendour Our swords will shine over the light On the black wind forever we ride on together Destroying your evil with freedom our guide When the master will storm us He'll stand high before us Our hearts filled with splendour Our swords will shine over the light The black wind forever we ride on together Destroying your evil with freedom our guide When the master will storm us He'll stand high before us Our hearts filled with splendour Our swords will shine over the light

[@JAAHUNGHAAM]

This brings back all the memories.🥲 Damn!🥲 My friends were never as passionate as I was though. Had they support me, or pushed as hard on music as I did, we could have been touring now. But they went for higher studies, which is good actually. One of them pursuing PhD and the other preparing for exams. And I'm here, still giving guitar lessons and pursuing Masters in Indian music (Hindustani) doing few gigs if some singers hires me. 🥲 And all those songs composed back then, about 50 songs just lying in my head. DF and Firehouse were our good to bands when ever we gathered. 😊🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

[@stevie2timez173]

I still think this is one of their best songs vocally, it just hits different

Pls Dragonforce, we need a MV for this song!! 🤘
