Hello everybody!

Could somebody help me with the lyrics of this song starting from 9:14? I a not a native English speaker, and as much as I try to understand the words being sung, I can't figure out anything. Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi,

Can't say I have ever found any lyrics for the stuff in this album at all ... but, at any case, in particular this piece, there is no need for an explanation, is what I thought, given the cover, as an example ... something that didn't exactly go right ... 

It has been for a long time, one of my favorite pieces, and its dramatic style, just like their first album, is outstanding, and the "no fear" side of it, is even better and makes the whole thing excellent, and not just another song out there that sounds the same as anyone else's with different words.

Hopefully I can find some lyrics somewhere, but so far, no luck.

Hi,

Thx ... I could not locate them at first.

I don't remember it now, but I think the inner sleeve of the LP had the lyrics, but I really don't remember it, but I have to say that this album was one that I really liked, and the bombastic/dramatic style was really good.

Hi there!

The lyrics that you can find on the net end at the 07:10 mark, that's the reason why I wrote I wish to know what is being said approximately from 09:14 and that maybe a native English speaker can figure out the words, I surely can´t...
Also, I'm pretty sure that, even if the album had lyrics in the inner sleeves, the part I'm referring to was left out...

It's a shame I can’t understand the words, the bombastic, dramatic, passionate grand finale of this song is one of my favorite song endings of all time.

I can't make it out either (too buried in the mix), but there is more of those type of vocals (but more intelligible) earlier in the track (around the 5/6 mins mark), so maybe the 9:10 lyrics is a repeat of those earlier lines.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
