We are re-releasing all our songs here on our TH-cam channel, in uncompressed high quality audio + lyrics. This song was originally released as a bonus track in Japan, because 1 track had to be made bonus. Let us know what you think about this song. Like, comment & subscribe! 😁 - @HermanLi
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.
@@MoonKnightH8 Hard disagree. ZP eventually got to that point during the Ultra Beatdown tour but Valley through Rampage he was phenomenal live. All of their Live In Japan videos are proof of that.
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
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.
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.
This is in my opinion the best album, I just loved the guitar tone on this even if it sounds not as professional compared to modern day DragonForce, just had a charm to it.
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.).
It was because of this track and Cry of the Brave that enlightened me in the ways of "japanese exclusive tracks". And once I knew Inhuman Rampage and Ultra Beatdown had to have one I scrambled to find them immediately. It still bewilders me why some of them from newer albums (ex. E.P.M.) aren't sold in other countries yet.
Would love to see the modern team do this song. Would love to hear Marc’s sound on this tune and then let Alicia and Gee go nuts in their own way too. Maybe redo the whole album (or an album of all the best from the first 3 or 4 albums).
go back to when your 10 years old, playing final fantasy 9, discovering this song and having the epic adventure with this as another epic soundtrack to the game please
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. Good-Guy-DragonForce :)
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.
Bro I am so glad when I asked my echo dot to play me a song and she played one of df’s songs and when I let it slide I ended up finding my favorite band to listen to
It was a total surprise and thrill when you guys busted this one out on your 2009 (?) tour. Never expected it. Also, that intro is totally Steve Williams' DF legacy, right? 🙂
esta canción es gloria amigos mios, la conocí por un amv de final fantasy 7 y dios, el mejor amv que vi en mi vida, hace como 16 años tal vez, lo perdí tristemente, nunca mas lo volví a encontrar, si alguien lo encontrase y me dejase el link los amaría eternamente, viva dragon force carajo
here Dragons Rule / Lyrics Main results Full the moon and midnight sky Through the dark they ride Warriors of forever will sacrifice their right One for all and all for one Future time has come Faces filled with torment, your heart beats like a drum Never you will look back again, you'll fight on 'til the end Together we will live on forever more In this land we have defended From all things dark and cruel Now we are defenseless In a land where dragons rule In this land we have defended From all things dark and cruel Now we are defenseless In a land where dragons rule Dragons rule Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Flash of steel in the mid-day sun, the battle has begun Blood spills all around us, but still we carry on No mercy we will show to them, the white flag shall be raised We'll fight for our freedom right, control this evil craze We all stand until the end Allegiance to this game In this land we've defended From all things dark and cruel Now we're defenseless In a land where dragons rule In this land we've defended From all things dark and cruel Now we're defenseless In a land where dragons rule Sun sets in the western sky, the battle almost done The victory will be glorious, our enemies are gone We all stand until the end Allegiance to this game In this land we've defended From all things dark and cruel Now we're defenseless In a land where dragons rule In this land we've defended From all things dark and cruel Now we're defenseless In a land where dragons rule In this land we've defended From all things dark and cruel Now we're defenseless In a land where dragons rule In this land we've defended From all things dark and cruel Now we're defenseless In a land where dragons rule In this land we've defended From all things dark and cruel Now we're defenseless In a land where dragons rule Dragons rule Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I thought this was a cover of the classic Crimson Glory song. Such a unique title, that was why. These guys would do stellar covers of ANY CG songs though! 😉

Please also re-release scars of yesterday strike of the ninja and e.p.m. Those were all amazing bonus tracks
Amazing song, lyrics, and perfect ending solo! You're the Best!
Galactic Astro Domination 8 minutes long PLEASE
Thank you Herman. Very cool.
@HermanLi You are the best player guitar of the world lml
This has, and always will be, one of my all time favorite Dragonforce songs. Such an epic tale and the piano is incredible.
agreed, always was my fave and so glad to see it again, in HD!
Steve Williams is an amazing songwriter.
@@Cages_Customs Agreed. Really sad Power Quest disbanded.
当時この歌が好きすぎて無限に聞いてましたね 懐かしいです ドラゴンフォースの数ある名曲の中でも特に好きです 日本語版ボーナストラックなのも熱い 心が震える ありがとう
That opening is so glorious.
And the ending
Valley of the Damned as an album is amazing. Great composition, great lyrics, and of course great moment back to 2000s.
Honestly my favourite album that Dragonforce has made, valley of the damned, disciples of Babylon, black fire all utter bangers.
This song should have been in the regular cd tracklist and not a japanese bonus song. It's glorious
Just like there other song emp
@@Nova_Lapis132 Lost Souls.. ??
@@Gokes93that's a special edition bonus track
Really want to hear Marc cover this in a live show
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.

Very much agreed.
Whos singing in this song?
@@Tono8912 ZP Theart, their original vocalist.
In the studio ZP was unreal but unfortunately he was terrible live on stage
@@MoonKnightH8 Hard disagree. ZP eventually got to that point during the Ultra Beatdown tour but Valley through Rampage he was phenomenal live. All of their Live In Japan videos are proof of that.
Fun fact, my first Dragonforce song. I would love Marc to cover it
ZP has successfully performed this song in his time, I guess DF appreciate don't want make any changes on original vocal song...
@@Kotak199 I love mark but ZP has a special place in my heart. This and valley of the damned were my intros into metal.
MAN I forgot how incredible this song is but I sure am glad to have come back. They really gave us something great here.
Man. What a classic. Y'all just make the best songs.
When I was 9 or 10, i found a cd where there was one song on it (custom cd) and it was this one, my first DragonForce song, pure bliss !
One of the gems of old DF. Alongside all tracks from the first album! Love it!!! 😍
This is one of my all time favourite nostalgic DF songs. I’d absolutely love to hear you guys play it live!
The first Dragonforce song I've heard back in the day! This song lead me to discover a few great albums and eagerly await future albums!
This album is too good for a first one! The nostalgia hits so hard ♥!
Personal favorite of my, oh the nostalgia
Truly a masterpiece
Imagine if next year, DF did a Valley of the Damned 20th anniversary tour playing the whole album!?
That would be pretty awesome!!!
The intro to this song is awesome. One of my favorite songs.
Best Dragonforce song
This was my favorite sang of your band guys and you reupload it without compression... i rediscover the tracks thank you so much
This is my absolute favorite Dragonforce song. has been since I was in middle school!
This track should have been on Killer Elite
I started to like this band DragonForce. thank you herman-li and sam
I hope ALL bonus songs gets re-released as well. Tracks like Scars of Yesterday and E.P.M. is too good for the fans to miss out on.
I agree. I hope those songs get re-released too. I'd love to hear E.P.M. in a high quality uncompressed audio!
Lost souls in endless time!
@@hgmincer469 They’ve all been rereleased by now
This song inspired one of my D&D campaigns, about heroes who try to save the world from the dragons that have overrun it.
Such a classic banger. Remembered fondly by those of us who were fans before Inuman Rampage.
I Love this Song ♥♥🇧🇷🇧🇷
This was my jam back in 2011 when Skyrim had just released for the Xbox 360. I still jump on that character from time to time to reminisce.
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
I agree, but marc had such improvement over years that i can't imagine DF without Marc
This is why I stopped listening to DF. This voice is iconic to the sound of DF to me.
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.

You should give it another short. And still, ZP songs are still there for us to enjoy, as the songs with Marc are.
I felt the same way for a while, but he's grown on me. ZP is still the perfect voice for their music though.
Always will be my all time favorite band. This song brings back nostalgia.
"In this land we have defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we are defenceless
In a land where dragons rule"
Catchy as hell
This is in my opinion the best album, I just loved the guitar tone on this even if it sounds not as professional compared to modern day DragonForce, just had a charm to it.

Will be playing this song when I play WoW Dragonflight :D

One of my favorites, helped me get through undergrad years, and inspired a script project. Thanks for bringing back the memories 😌
That's a throwback, love that song, still listen to it about once a week on my daily commute. Thanks for this DragonForce!
This was the first song on my ps3 playlist back when you could copy music into it.
Genuinely my favorite song from Dragonforce. Has Marc sang this live yet?
We have played this with Marc before
@@dragonforce you really gotta tell me when then lol👀👀👀
This one is so iconic. Pruzhanov was a monster in Dragonforce, legend. Anyway, will you guys upload the other version? Love them both
What an album and what a song!!!!!!
One of my favorite song.And album too
My second favorite track off any of your albums
This album is just perfect ❤
Warriors are forever
This was one of that major band that got me into this genre.
So, uh…what something similar you would recommend cause I love dragonforce but don’t know anything similar
@@vincentmichael7979u can try any songs from sonata arctica
As a MtG player and a DragonForce fan...
We need this to be the theme when we go back to Tarkir
My favorite song. Always will be
This song was the first song dragonforce i hear, around 2004 😭, cause this song im become dragonforce fans ntil now, damn 😭, im so happy rn 😭
i love this song so much. This whole album is just amazing. I love dragonforce so much i cant express what this band means to me. ❤❤❤❤
Re-release the VOTD demo album including the unreleased ones uncompressed, those are a very valuable piece of DF/DH history.
Tha piano solos be speakin a story💯🔥
Hard to believe how long ago this came out....Time Flies....
Zp lives on!!
I am Here, in 2022! Oitavo semestre de Psicologia. Só pra registrar. Cápsula do tempo. 🎧
Bro I am so glad when I asked my echo dot to play me a song and she played one of df’s songs and when I let it slide I ended up finding my favorite band to listen to
After TTFAF brought me into the fold this is the song that made me stick around. Always loved this song and always will
Man this whole song rules so hard, but that fast part near the end at 5:04 God what power, DF rules man
Already rocking to this one, and just imagining da music video of this one
It was a total surprise and thrill when you guys busted this one out on your 2009 (?) tour. Never expected it. Also, that intro is totally Steve Williams' DF legacy, right? 🙂
Indeed, Steve Williams is an amazing songwriter.😎
I’ll always be a dragon who’s with me ❤
Let's gooooo
Can't wait for Revelations
Love the re-release with lyrics!
Obra de arte!!! 😍🇧🇷🤘🏻

Lyrics
Main results
Full the moon and midnight sky
Through the dark they ride
Warriors of forever will sacrifice their right
One for all and all for one
Future time has come
Faces filled with torment, your heart beats like a drum
Never you will look back again, you'll fight on 'til the end
Together we will live on forever more
In this land we have defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we are defenseless
In a land where dragons rule
In this land we have defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we are defenseless
In a land where dragons rule
Dragons rule
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Flash of steel in the mid-day sun, the battle has begun
Blood spills all around us, but still we carry on
No mercy we will show to them, the white flag shall be raised
We'll fight for our freedom right, control this evil craze
We all stand until the end
Allegiance to this game
In this land we've defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we're defenseless
In a land where dragons rule
In this land we've defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we're defenseless
In a land where dragons rule
Sun sets in the western sky, the battle almost done
The victory will be glorious, our enemies are gone
We all stand until the end
Allegiance to this game
In this land we've defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we're defenseless
In a land where dragons rule
In this land we've defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we're defenseless
In a land where dragons rule
In this land we've defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we're defenseless
In a land where dragons rule
In this land we've defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we're defenseless
In a land where dragons rule
In this land we've defended
From all things dark and cruel
Now we're defenseless
In a land where dragons rule
Dragons rule
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Absolutely Epic
I love this song. One of the best
If this was an anime opening I'd watch tf out of it
Awesome, thank you.
This one of the best songs of Valley of the Damned
I thought this was a cover of the classic Crimson Glory song. Such a unique title, that was why. These guys would do stellar covers of ANY CG songs though! 😉
Do you feel that? That's this song hitting *way* harder than it did 15 years ago. You know...
Still think this is the bast song to open with on a DragonForce playlist/setlist. Dood I still love this album so much, its so fucking good
🤘🐲🤟
Pure beauty by ZP and rest
I have the hope to listen this song at concert on Mexico someday
Always love this one
Again I thank you 🤘🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Única que não tinha escutado desse álbum.
I remember this song being a staple on the *Ultra Beatdown* tour, good times.
best song ever
Old Beautiful Times 👌🔥🌹🖤🐲🎼🌋
herman li what is the pedal u use to make the guitar sound too acute in the solo of fire and flames?
Fantasy themed Dragonforce the best
I remembre, I discovered metal with this music years ago 🥰
Waaa, I didn't knew this fishing method 🤣
yeahhhh 🤘🤘🔥🔥
