Rebirth
05:17
|
|||
Wandering in mazes of endless request,
can't find a way to break out.
Blurred by the voices that drive you insane,
never stood out of the crowd
When was the last time you took your own way,
like being the last man on earth
free from all guidance, the dream that remains
bears the seed of rebirth!
Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood
the essence of creation burning in my heart
Gods of fire lift me higher to the realms of mighty sun
false leaders and deceivers will perish one by one!
The crack of time will open the doors tonight,
the hour is near
Cease the moment, look for the signs of fate,
the calling is loud and clear
Don't delay, destiny waits for no man, make no mistake!
Join the never ending chain of might,
the future is yours!
Forget about mazes of futile request,
follow the only way out
Gone are the voices that drove you insane,
so stand above all with no doubts
The lot of usurpers will now step aside,
power has slipped from their hands
ravaged by fear they flee from the fight,
bringing themselves to the end!
Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood
the essence of creation burning in my heart
Gods of fire lift me higher to the realms of mighty sun
false leaders and deceivers will perish...

Dance of the Vampires
04:50
|
|||
Travelling through whispering woods,
where days and nights are clad in veils of mist,
the freezing fist of winter strikes
the earth and sky in might!
… no light is in sight,
to warm up our hearts and give us a chance
A chance to believe,
a chance to be free from devil’s spawn
The creatures of the night!
Passed the villages forlorn,
the eyes of peasants crying out despair,
Death’s in the air,
this god forsaken place left to its fate
… of torture and pain,
our mission is clear, the hunters are here to be
A chance to believe,
a chance to be free from devil’s spawn
The creatures of the night!
In full moon we ride until sunrise
we ‘ll put an end to the dance of the vampires!
A handful of torches reveal the graveyard
a morbid welcome to the lair of the unholy count
Doors open wide and from deadly silence a violin is heard,
then hundreds of them and silhouettes appear all around us!
Come with us, dance! In melodies of darkness
Come with us, dance! Drink the blood
Come with us, dance! In melodies of darkness
Come with us, dance! Drink the blood and live forever…
I can hear the voices, they’re calling me to join
Oh mesmerizing voices, urging me to live forever
Foolish men open your eyes,
we are no longer huntsmen but the prey,
And we shall pay, struggling and falling one by one,
…all hope is gone!
Bearing the mark as a child of the dark
One chance to believe,
one chance to be free from devil’s spawn
The creatures of the night!
In full moon we ride until sunrise
we ‘ll put an end to the dance of the vampires!
No chance to believe,
no chance to be free from devil’s spawn
The creatures of the night!
In full moon they rise until sunrise,
the world belongs to the dance of the vampires!

Here we hold behind our sacred walls,
the last remaining chosen for the cause
In soul and mind all cleansed and purified,
in god we pray and rest our final hopes
The darkness and light
The left path or the right
The principles of flesh
All yield to the divine
We ‘re children of the damned, the pilgrims in a foreign land
Condemned to reincarnate in cycles of this world’s decay
Until the time will come, when all the things become undone
And spirits will ascend the angels sing their requiem
In darkness and light
The left path or the right
The principles of flesh
All yield to the divine
On the break of dawn the tyrant’s host will storm the gates
No fight for survival we ‘re prepared to meet our fate
The torches burning silently and light the moonless night
The brothers will defend our faith we’ll stand and die side by side
The end draws near we have surrendered arms,
the last of strongholds falling to their hands
Acrid smoke and fire fill the skies,
a martyr pyre yet no one hears the cries
We ‘re children of the damned, the pilgrims in a foreign land
Condemned to reincarnate in cycles of this world’s decay
Until the time will come, when all the things become undone
And spirits will ascend, in Montsegur again…
We ‘re children of the damned, the pilgrims in a foreign land
Condemned to reincarnate in cycles of this world’s decay
Until the time will come, when all the things become undone
And spirits will ascend the angels sing their requiem

The Voyager
04:38
|
|||
Welcome to September 1519,
when a great quest for mankind begun,
Into the unknown!
Born out of a heart forged in dreams,
of a man called Magellan!
…and there he sets sail, with ships and men
given to him by the Spanish Crown,
Determined to go where no one did before,
and meet his fate on the long course to the west!
The days count months on the deserted coasts,
now despair will pave the way,
To mutiny!
Blood, death, execution take their course,
what a price he has to pay!
On the seas of wrath and mischief,
the Voyager will stand
For the fire of desire will be burning to the end!
Hardships come and hardships we sow,
the search for a safer passage will cost,
the “Santiago” is lost but still we have to carry on
… and pass through the straits that lead to the sea
where the waters seem to stand still,
and wildfires light up shores in the night…
So the bow turns now towards the western islands,
savage tribes must kneel to the cross,
the conquistadores
On the final stand in Mactan,
they shall suffer the greatest loss
(our light, our comfort, our guide…)
On the seas of wrath and mischief,
the Voyager will stand
For the fire of desire will be burning …
Spread the word and all you behold,
the Voyager still stands
For his legacy won’t perish,
it will be cherished without end!

Seven Deadly Kins
04:34
|
|||
Gather all people and sit around me,
I'll tell you the tale of the seven deadly Kins,
Forged in the bloodiest wars that I've ever seen!
The first kin had wealth beyond counting,
thought of themselves as the rightful kings
masters of coin and deception,
no one would dare to stand against them...
The second was fierce like the winter storm,
warlords who struck the fear in all hearts.
The third kin was known for their patience,
always awaiting the time to be right!
From the plains of West, landlords of the valley,
faced the islands' threat, the rulers of the restless seas.
From the southern lands, bound by chains of magic
the darkest of all clans, sorcerers and necromancers!
The day did arrive when peace held no more
The clans raised their banners and all marched to war
Slaying each other, a dream they've been awaiting for...
Far from the scenery of destruction,
the seventh kin left outside of it all,
servants, low born and poor,
noone has counted them that is sure!
The night before the mother of all battle
the heads of the six clans,
all drunk from the feast the servants slipped to their chambers,
killed each and everyone in their sleep.
One stab for justice, one stab for pride
one stab for all tears we cried
one stab for all to remember
the day that the six tyrants died!

Hunting song
05:35
|
|||
Cold winter winds still they linger,
gliding through the hills pass the woods
to the gloomy streets of Salem,
Its story will be written,
from the hands of the fools who speak
as gods but no god dwells inside them…
The young lived in fear and oppression,
a mindless accusation,
childish games that play with fire
And serve the plans of the elders,
to make the folk deny their freedom,
bow their heads and “speak no evil”
Sons and daughters of mankind,
the ritual has now begun
Feed the demons in your mind,
the Hunting song goes on…
Bow, Confess, crawl in distress
The stage is set, the parts are known,
a shadow play of flesh and bone
Where saints and sinners switch their coats
before the curtain opens
Fever dreams and pious lies become
the facts that all despise
Behold the witch!
The devil’s whore! …
Justice has been granted…
Sons and daughters of mankind,
the ritual has now begun
Feed the demons in your mind,
the Hunting song goes on and on…
A pale sun casts a light to the creation,
the gallows trees stand silent,
mourning witnesses of violence,
then hum the tune of mortal nature,
a tune that pairs no other,
the song of brother killing brother!
Sons and daughters of mankind,
the ritual has now begun
Feed the demons in your mind,
the Hunting song goes on and on and on…

Magnum opus
04:32
|
|||
Whispers in the dark,
a fading image lost behind
this trembling candlelight,
eyes that never lost their spark.
Divinity, the quest for knowledge
far beyond our false reality,
endless pain and soul corruption!
Take this life and raise it to the stars,
never looking back, heaven's in the making
Turn your heart from a burden made of lead
to ever shining gold ready for the taking!
Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, Rubedo
The flame is growing strong,
whispers soon will turn to voices
silent for so long,
waiting to unleash their magic
I'll pave the way to build a future
free from gods and demons of today,
who guard the gates of soul asylums
Take this life and raise it to the stars,
never looking back, heaven's in the making
Turn your heart from a burden made of lead
to ever shining gold ready for the taking!
Light a funeral pyre,
feed it with the past, for this is it my friend,
Ashes to ashes, DUST TO DUST....
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust!
Light a funeral pyre for the dying past
A world is born and lies within our reach,
forget about your suffering,
the time has come for you to be free!!!

Thunderchild
05:18
|
|||
Come forth, witness the beginning
Come forth, and stand inside the storm!
A silver rain is pouring down as far as eyes can see
The seers all have spoken in the tongue of silence
of all the things undone that meant to be
the coming of the child who will overthrow the tyrants.
Holy Thunderchild I'll meet you on the other side,
to where our kingdom lies
Blessed are the meek, but vengeance is the grail you seek
so raise your fist up high!
Your life, sold in return for some void lies
keeping you chained and bowed,
praying for things to change from above,
a "deus ex machina"...
Stand tall and with your hands still cold
from fear, fight for those you hold dear
There's no time to look back it's too late
don't run away from your fate!
The false kings shall come with their gifts
Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh unfold
the passage from virtue to suffering
Hear the roar of thunder
beating through your veins
feel the boiling anger tranforming into lightning
unleash its power and light the silver rain
become the child that prophets are reciting of!
Holy Thunderchild I'll meet you on the other side,
to where our kingdom lies
Blessed are the meek, but vengeance is the grail you seek
so raise your fist... and...
Ride the sky tonight
and meet me on the other side
to where our kingdom lies
Bring again to life the legend of the thunderchild
and raise your fist up high!!!

Legions of mist
05:29
|
|||
A freezing sun reigns from above
and mocks the earth below him
In mud and stone the dead trees built their dome
Through the paths the legions passing,
searching for glory
A man revenge would dare and set his snare
Close enough the native tribes summon their numbers,
sword and spear in hand,
a man will call for victory or fall
For the fallen, praise them high
For the glory, raise the battle cry
For vengeance, with iron fist
For freedom, awaken the legions of mist
From the ridge, amongst the trees
Thousands rise in the dead of night
A storm of steel coming down the hill,
Invaders blown like lifeless leaves in dawn!
Can you hear the song that most men fear,
the reaper stands alone
his shickle is dancing and the ravens sing along
The morning breaks the battle shades,
the aftermath revealed
the fearful army is gone their fate is sealed!
For the fallen, praise them high
For the glory, raise the battle cry
For vengeance, with iron fist
For freedom, awaken the legions of mist

Shadows in Atlantis
05:11
|
|||
Light of Apollo laid across the city’s face,
casting colors of perfection
On this gods beloved place
Protected of all horror,
never knew what pain feels like,
lost in bliss of earthly pleasures
and illusions of our might!
Read the signs as the legends foretold,
for the last days of Atlantis
As we live by the glory of old,
while the shadows are drawing near
Read the signs as the legends foretold,
for the last days of Atlantis
As we live by the glory of old,
while the shadows are here
All the shadows, the shadows are here… now!
A dark hall choked in silence,
depraved of joy and light,
crawling serpents of gold
will grant you pain and tears
The skies of our ancestors once shining in might,
now clouds of despair master our lives and fears
Come divine guidance and speak within our hearts,
show us the way to fight for what is ours
Gods show us mercy for a thousand of our sins,
deliver us from ourselves
Oh divine guidance please speak within our hearts,
for the terrors will tear us apart
a gift of truth for the lying fools,
bound to accept it (no choice but to accept)!
Scenes of desolation, of a world brought to its knees,
only ruins can tell the story,
only wrecks are here to greeve
the wisdom of ages, those of past and these yet to come
will never, never be enough for mankind to touch the sun!
Read the signs as the legends foretold,
for the last days of Atlantis
As we live by the glory of old,
while the shadows are drawing near
Read the signs as the legends foretold,
for the last days of Atlantis
As we live by the glory of old,
while the shadows are here
All the shadows...

Up with the Phoenix
05:01
|
|||
Long is the path that chose you my son,
twisted the turns that lurk on its way
The sweet little sirens will tear you apart if you sway
Of the demons you know and the demons you’ve seen,
the one with your face is the worst ever been,
with his complacent smile and familiar stare,
you must stand your ground and beware!
Follow the phoenix into the fire
One with the ash and decay
Winds of redemption will take you higher
Far from the scars of the day
Follow the phoenix into the fire
and from ashes reborn
Winds of redemption will take you higher
Up with the Phoenix be gone!
Listen to mesmerizing chants promising paradise
Voices from another world echoing in the dark
An innocent boy once lived with fire in his eyes
Now sleeping in oblivion left only with a flame in his heart!
So you keep on the path that chose you my friend,
weary you pass by the traps on your way
the nightmares are real and the demons have come here to stay
But you never give up, no you will never give in,
you will fight back the darkness that comes from within
and no matter the cost or the years that have burned,
the fire in your eyes will return!
Follow the phoenix into the fire
One with the ash and decay
Winds of redemption will take you higher
Far from the scars of the day
Follow the phoenix into the fire
and from ashes reborn
Winds of redemption will take you higher
Up with the Phoenix be gone!
Welcome my child to where you belong,
the kingdom of shadows the land of the forlorn
From the nest of ashes a fiery beast will be reborn
Take my hand grant me your soul,
you can’t escape me I haunt your dreams
In the skies you'll fly free, the tears you cried have healed your wings!
