Lyrics
[Intro]
[Fast melodic flamenco]
[Verse 1]
From darkened shadows of Castile
a legend did arise,
Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar
beneath Iberian skies.
[Verse 2]
A warrior fierce and battle born
wrathful steel he wields
In corridors of time he carves
through bodies dead in fields
[Chorus]
El Cid! El Cid!
Where the vultures fly
El Cid! El Cid!
On pale horse he rides
El Cid! El Cid!
Through the gates of hell
El Cid! El Cid!
Where fallen angels dwell
[Instrumental lead guitar]
[Verse 1]
From the shadows of Castile.
A legend did arise,
Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar.
[Verse 2]
A warrior born for battle.
Wrathful steel he wields.
In the halls of time he fights.
[Pre-Chorus]
Champion of Iberia
Prince of Valencia
Slay with Tizona
Gloria de Espania
[Chorus]
El Cid! He battles where the vultures fly.
El Cid! He fights on pale horse he rides.
El Cid! He rallies through the gates of hell.
El Cid! He dies where fallen angels dwell.
[Instrumental lead guitar]
[Verse]
Exiled by king's hand,
He roams scorched earth.
Over plains, on sand.
[Verse]
Tizona, in firelight it gleams.
Steel terror draws blood.
The Moors are driven far.
[Pre-Chorus]
Champion of Iberia
Prince of Valencia
Specter of Vengeance
Gloria de Espania
[Chorus]
El Cid! He battles where the vultures fly.
El Cid! He fights on pale horse he rides.
El Cid! He rallies through the gates of hell.
El Cid! He dies where fallen angels dwell.
[Flamenco Metal Instrumental]
[Flamenco guitar solo]
[Chorus]
El Cid! He battles where the vultures fly.
El Cid! He fights on pale horse he rides.
El Cid! He rallies through the gates of hell.
El Cid! He dies where fallen angels dwell.
[Chorus]
El Cid! He battles where the vultures fly.
El Cid! He fights on pale horse he rides.
El Cid! He rallies through the gates of hell.
El Cid! He dies where fallen angels dwell.
