1. The Siege

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 pains
to glorify

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

2. Tentacles

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

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

3. The Eve Of The End

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

Take my hand
on the eve of the end
even 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

Take my hand
on the eve of the end
eve of the end

4. The Stones Of Uruk

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

Ancient stones
lie lighted by the stars above
monuments that warn us
of the gods' presence

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 morality

Right in the middle of
the desert sands I will seat
and let the winds of woe
whisper Enkidu's name

5. Mother Wisdom, Father War

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

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

Tame's the roar of ages old
till the day the tide will change
unquiet brows they will regain their crowns

6. Iceberg

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

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
balk to the essence of ice
catharsis I hate 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

7. Once We Were Titans

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...

I've been crying all the time
for centuries forlorn
praising all the time
past centuries

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...

8. The Fields Of Yore

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

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

Walking through these barren fields
realize the things I have left behind

Knowledge, wisdom, harmony of a world
emerging from the sands of yore

9. By The Gates Of Oblivion

Crossing the gates you step before

Sailing through the galaxy
to fulfill the fathers' dream
by the distant doors of doom
lies the temple of the Self

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

Dim modernity
emulate the Achaian breed
emulate!

10. Barbarian Pride

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

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?
