The siege
04:51
|
|||
|
After all
it came to an end
fading light
vanishing dreams
Dominions
of wiser men
erased will lie
Torn down the wall
break through the defense
the citadel is lost,
the city’s doomed!
Here dies the word
the bard once spoke
so sing the song of demise
in the end
Hollow lives
lived in vain
if nothing but the pain’s
to glorify
chorus
I sit through furies
that melancholy unfolds
I step through fires
trying to avoid defeat
behold the fiery
twist of fate and celebrate
Reminiscent
of older days
when men were forced to face
theomachies
Set to rewrite
mythology
we step into the end
as walls come down
We’ll cross the line
of history
and ride the wings of fate
to death’s embrace
chorus
I sit through furies
that melancholy unfolds
I step through fires
trying to avoid defeat
behold the fiery
twist of fate and celebrate
[harmony lead: Tonoli]
chorus
I sit through furies
that melancholy unfolds
I step through fires
trying to avoid defeat
behold the fiery
twist of fate and celebrate

Tentacles
05:31
|
|||
|
By paths regressive I’d walk
back to (the) primeval coil
when older beings stood still
blended in sheer harmony
I call for forces unknown
fallen into oblivion
and carved into memories
forbidden for us to see
chorus
The wheel of Time keeps turning
wish it was mankind morning
the weight of Earth I feel
the depth of skies I sing
From the scars of odd worlds
collapsed through bleak centuries
civilizations that
mankind forgot be reborn
Witness resurging tall temples
I’d never seen before
across the open sea
tentacles rise from the deep
chorus [x 2]
The wheel of Time keeps turning
wish it was mankind morning
the weight of Earth I feel
the depth of skies I sing
[1st solo: Tonoli; 2nd solo: Lupi]
chorus [x 2]
The wheel of Time keeps turning
wish it was mankind morning
the weight of Earth I feel

The eve of the end
04:44
|
|||
|
Sunken to bare nothingness
I’ll see colossal wrecks
desert sands as only keeper
of a fading might
Idols of magnificence
shall fall apart and drown
cries of woe be heard tonight
for prophecies are sound
Sad are they whose reign is torn
for struggle is forlorn
statues shall outlive the men
who built them long ago
chorus
Take my hand
on the eve of the end
eve of the end
Take my hand
on the eve of the end
eve of the end
Take my hand
on the eve of the end
eve of the end
Take my hand
on the eve of the end
gods defend!
Men we are, myth will become
an empire is no more
failure then the gods have sent
as doom came from the stars
Men we were, myth have become
a story to be told
poetry of ancient lore
will last forevermore
Strong are they whose reign is born
as soon as it is born
failure then they’ll know themselves
as stars conspire again
chorus
Take my hand
on the eve of the end
eve of the end
Take my hand
on the eve of the end
eve of the end
Take my hand
on the eve of the end
eve of the end
Take my hand
on the eve of the end
gods defend!
[solo: Lupi]
chorus II
Take my hand
on the eve of the end
eve of the end
Take my hand
on the eve of the end
eve of the end
Take my hand
the eve of the end
take...

The stones of Uruk
06:33
|
|||
|
Gone adrift for years
witness of misery and fears
lost all I’ve ever got
seeking oblivion
Right through the battlefields
of ageless empires I saw
days of decay I’ve sung
fall of modernity
bridge
Ancient stones
lie lighted by the stars above
monuments
that warn us of the gods’ presence
chorus
Feeling the thrill of
ages old
walking the trail
that I had lost
Feeling the thrill of
ages old
step through the mem’ries
of the stones
(Of) whom who saw the whole
dominion of men and gods I will
cover the glorious path
beyond mortality
Right in the middle of
the desert sands I will seat
and let the winds of woe
whisper Enkidu’s name
chorus
Feeling the thrill of
ages old
walking the trail
that I had lost
Feeling the thrill of
ages old
step through the mem’ries
of the stones
[solo: Lupi]
chorus
Feeling the thrill of
ages old
walking the trail
that I had lost
Feeling the thrill of
ages old
step through the mem’ries
of the stones
[harmony lead: Lupi]

Lone beholders of decay
we who praise the days of
times bygone
Mother wisdom, father war
of the world that was before
conquer cosmos, spread your lore
come on
chorus
What you feel it to be now?
Skies are falling down
do you feel the way I do?
Mother wisdom, father war
Men and gods, then we were both
at the great doors of the
true sublime
[solo: Tonoli]
Tame’s the roar of ages old
till the day the tide will change
unquiet brows they will regain
their crowns
chorus [x 2]
What you feel it to be now?
Skies are falling down
do you feel the way I do?
Mother wisdom, father war

Iceberg
04:39
|
|||
|
Bygone the times of the fall
back to the essence of ice
catharsis I have sought
from the scars that I have fought
Follow the traces unknown
of temples built by the wind
engraved at the dawn of time
forsaken outer lore
chorus
Floating down like memories
crossing distant seas
messenger from the utmost realms
outpost of ice
Floating down like memories
kept in icy dreams
messenger from the utmost realms
outpost of ice
Bygone the times of the fall
back to the essence of ice
catharsis I have sought
from the scars that I have fought
Follow the traces unknown
of temples built by the wind
engraved at the dawn of time
forsaken outer lore
chorus
Floating down like memories
crossing distant seas
messenger from the utmost realms
outpost of ice
Floating down like memories
kept in icy dreams
messenger from the utmost realms
outpost of ice
[1st solo: Lupi; 2nd solo: Tonoli]
chorus
Floating down like memories
crossing distant seas
messenger from the utmost realms
outpost of ice
Floating down like memories
kept in icy dreams

Once we were Titans
05:52
|
|||
|
Born under distant skies
I saw all my world coming down
temples melting to clay
and the seven seas petrify
I crawled before strange idols
with no name
they were mute to me, didn’t tell...
Brought by the storm they were
but leading the tempest as well
forcing us to bow down
as if they were deities unknown
Will the stones I carved ever
speak of me
tell the ones who’ll come nothing but...
chorus [x 2]
I’ve been crying all the time
for centuries forlorn
praising all the time
past centuries
[harmony lead: Lupi; solo: Tonoli]

The fields of yore
05:12
|
|||
|
Walking through these barren fields
realize
they’ll never bloom again
Such a splendid time it was
victimize
I’ve seen my fondest hopes
decay
chorus [x2]
And the day with his banner of dim radiance
never came to me
can’t find a place where I belong
Walking through these barren fields
realize
I’d never live again
Just to see whatever dream
I may have
torn into nothingness
decay
chorus [x2]
And the day with his banner of dim radiance
never came to me
can’t find a place where I belong
[harmony lead and solos: Tonoli]
Walking through these barren fields
realize
the things I have left behind
Knowledge, wisdom, harmony
of a world
emerging from the sands
of yore
chorus [x2]
And the day with his banner of dim radiance
never came to me
can’t find a place where I belong

By the gates of oblivion
04:14
|
|||
|
intro
Crossing the gates you step before
Sailing through the galaxy
to fulfil the fathers’ dream
by the distant doors of doom
lies the temple of the Self
chorus
Crossing the gates you step before
to the source of memories again
Lost your drone, your pioneer
forced to wander endlessly
wrapped are all the mysteries
sideral supremacy
chorus
Crossing the gates you step before
to the source of memories again
interludium
dim modernity
emulate the Achaian breed
emulate!
chorus
Crossing the gates you step before
to the source of memories again
rooted into the deepest yore
springing from the Origin

Barbarian pride
05:27
|
|||
|
I was born into exile
had no rest nor had the time
to witness (the) fall of kings
chaos came o’er the land
doomed the temples, made them
crumble down, torn apart
Distant are the days of woe
and the splendour’s age alike
the virtue and the glory
couldn’t face the ones who came
as the sun set not to see
the deepest of all winters
chorus [x 2]
Shades of men
coming from
A tale of a time of old
Raised into barbarian pride
a fate of gloom was by my side
(I) longed for the lands of mine
still I question both the gods
and the starry vault above
will we be all forgotten?
chorus [x 2]
Shades of men
coming from
A tale of a time of old
[harmony interludium: Lupi – Tonoli; solo and harmony leads: Tonoli]
