All of the lyrics talk about war, corruption, fighting... And chorus just yell "This world is saaaacred!".

Lol? What's sacred about it.

I know this was made for the game Sacred II, but they couldn't have made that line feel more forced if they yelled it during the my little ponies theme song.

Yeah this is going to get a lot of down votes. But you know it's true.

PS: This is a good song. But that line just sticks out to me like a swollen, discolored, rotting thumb.

@RadGH Well you may be right about that. But cant corrupted world in war still be sacred ? I think it can. Its only people doing those bad things, the world is still beautiful.

The New Age of Symphonic Power Metal. BEST album of 2010. If this piece would have been structured into a symphony form, the difference would not have been so big between this song and a classical masterpiece

@JelenaKotlajic I dont think this song is americanized. Many metal bands in the past have used orchestra. Also this song was originally composed for german RPG game called Sacred2. I like the epicness of this song and dont really think its as low as trailer music.

i get shivers every time i listen to this song XD

I saw these guys in Australia recently. Came back and did this song as an encore. It was awesome. I agree with the comments below. I don't know how you could think the orchestral part of this song is Americanised. Sure Hollywood create epic soundtracks for their epic movies but that doesn't mean that every musician that uses an orchestra is pigeon-holed to be americanised. Plus 99% of your "Hollywood Epics" are based on European Mythology and History.

Blind Guardian = Modern Day Bards

@JelenaKotlajic Their music is still amazing, if it isn't what you like then whatever, but don't say it isn't epic, or not good music, because it is some of the most amazing music out there, musicianship is great and they actually write great music.

just saying there is nothing americanized about this song, the orchastra dosent make it american, the orchastra originaly came from spain there is nothing american about it. sorry about the spelling i fail alot.

[Elidhan]

The guy is still right to a certain extent. Most european metal bands released albums recently featuring heavy epic Hollywood-style symphonic arrangements. Rhapsody were among the first ones to do this and they themselves referred to it as "Hollywood/trailer-like epic symphonic metal". This makes it somewhat americanized.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but that guy is still telling the truth. The song might not sound "american", but the symphonic metal trend is indeed influenced by america.

@TheWickedEnergy Now, I know that metal is rare to hear in the USA, but trust me, it is same everywhere (except in Finland, obviously ^^) and LMFAO is very popular in Europe as well.. But you guys have a great trash metal scene (or at least had it), metal core and hc also.. And don't forget about Kamelot ;) Don't lose your hope..

[Duncon1981]

@JelenaKotlajic Blind Guardian has always loved orchestra, they have been working 8 years already on a orchestral project about LOTR, they even wanted to have it as the soundtrack for the LOTR trilogie. There is absolutely nothing americanized, this is pure Blind Guardian.

@Dinos86Senior That's not all.. if you want to hear more epic soundtracks, just say it, I'll get you some examples ;) Just don't talk about Blind Guardian doing this the right way if you have no idea how the others do it. watch?v=jSqw9Yn_RMQ this is also nice, AND Schwartzenegger related. Oh, and this one: watch?v=-bzWSJG93P8 how could I forget about this? Additionally, I warmly recommend you not to be rude when talking to someone you don't know.

@Dinos86Senior Ok, I am 24 y.o. female from Serbia. I finished music school (a four-year, kind of elementary school for music) and I play flute. I am well educated when it comes to classical music, and until I entered high school, classical music was the only for me.. Baroque especially was my favorite hmm.. direction, if you could say that.. Romanticism also.. But nvm.. Yes, Wagner was quite epic too I guess, but here you go: watch?v=LANHWwEjOAU if you want to know what I'm talking about..
