Gaze upon the stake,

flames will soon start to embrace

Condemned, auto da fé,

she's about to fall from grace



In the land of the rising sun

shadows are falling again

The die is cast, the future and past

coming to her at last



Oh, oh, oh

All she needed was a Champion

Oh, oh, oh

Crying for a saviour to fight for her life



Behold, the freedom cries

by the dying of the light

Too late to justify

for vindication upon this night



In the land of the rising sun

shadows are falling again

From out of nowhere, a rider declared

to answer her final prayer



Oh, oh, oh

He stood up to be the Champion

Oh, oh, oh

He became the saviour that fought for her life



Face to face, eye to eye

The saviour fought to save her pride

Far beyond the starlit skies, the encounter went

on



Gaze upon the stake,

as the flames start to embrace

A life, an act of faith,

long-lost gone without a trace



In the land of the rising sun

Shadows are falling again

The die is cast for the future and past

came for her at last



Oh, oh, oh

All she needed was a Champion

Oh, oh, oh

Crying for a saviour to fight for her



Oh, oh, oh

He stood up to be the Champion

Oh, oh, oh

He became the saviour that fought for her life
