lyrics

"The Chosen Ones" (English Translation)

I've a dream an immaculate you
Stands beside me this side of midnight
You gradually awake to your inner strength

I'll be there to answer your call
Stand beside you against the darkness
Now your mission has been revealed
It is time to rise to the challenge

For the chosen ones, the battle to avoid the waves
Of this tempestuous age never ends

I've a dream an immaculate you
Stands beside me this side of midnight
Shine as you awake to your inner strength

For the chosen ones
The battle to weather the waves
Of this tempestuous age never ends

I'd lay my life down for you, there's nothing I wouldn't do
I'd lay my life down for you, there's nothing I wouldn't do
I'd lay my life down for you, there's nothing I wouldn't do
