1. Dies Irae Always, when you're dying in your Hell Remember well, Remember well Always, that you brought this on yourself To die in Hell, within my Hell A fear inside Always, when you're melting in your lust Just remember the sins of your past Cause I, I have coem here to collect And you God is not around Lately, He's never around Dies Irae I sometimes hear Her Oh how they fear Her Silence is forever Pain is when She's nearer Pay the price On Dies Irae Souls all across the universe Men who failed, who have loved and lost What they didn't understand There's no such thing as a second chance God sends you war So that you can cherish peace The Devil sends Her To make sure you never find it _______________________________________ 2. Gnosis of Prometheus Wings of fire Through the endless seas That's what they've done to me God's desire is for me to flee And heal my soul from pain Finally, I endured the pain although The blood ran free Eaten slowly by a vicious bird For life eternally Feel sad with the tears of the angels We've counting the years of the sun Alone, we're the sons of forever And the night will take our soul to He That will lead us all eternally I'm gazing the life of heroes They're sailing to the unknown Alone we're the sons of forever Take the gnosis of Prometheus, Gnosis of prometheus On the rock, I have seen The lives of heroes and decay Out of reach from the world I long for rain to wash my wounds from pain Tormentor, betrayer and soul collector Inventor, protector, Don't pray to the man deceptor Malefactor, reactor, deceiver, Uproarious actor Affector, affector, Well here comes your flesh dissector _______________________________________ 3. Ira Imperium (The Damned) Descend from your almighty skies And take the law in your hands For the land, for the tears that we cried And the fears we shared, For the damned and the heroes That died in vain Are they the ones betrayed? Ira Imperium Now feel their anger crash your heart Ira Imperium It's time for you to play your part Ira Imperium, You'll see the things That they'll let you see How does it feel To be the damned Ira Imperium It's time to fell the wrath of the Gods Cause we are their children, Their forgotten ones For the lust that we felt And the lust that we once shared, For the sins, for the greed, And the kill We never cared _______________________________________ 4. Kiss of Kali Dark one, take me away I want to feel the death in your eyes We fall down on our bending knees For the kiss that you have deprived Shiva, She will arise You'll remain the light in our pathways Now hope, is all that's left for me Don't you take it away Your love, sapphire You'll never know, You're lifting me higher Her own, messiah Our endless road Narayana We praise, whispering our wishes Take our hearts, we give them to you All around, destruction you will bring Your kingdom is night Your kingdom come Eternal energy Oh lord forget me the slayer Years and years To stand and face the fears Oh lord forgot me Imperia Your love, sapphire You'll never know, You're lifting me higher Her own, messiah Our endless road, Narayana The kiss of Kali, your solemn hour Shivali, Maya _______________________________________ 5. Katherine of Aragon I am the heart of a queen who died in vain I've been through Hell, No words can tell an unbearable pain My tribulations are so great My life disturbed Betrayed by kings and men Who never saw my worth But then an angel Came to whisper in my ear For the illusion of a paintless society But with a broken heart I sail to the unknown I failed to see When the fire flame dies in your eyes What a life, a rigorous testament All I want is the fear in the raven's eyes And the pain of a lifeless forever I've been through Hell, I've been through evil-minded wars I handle the pain Because the king won't hear my thoughts Kimbolton castle is to be my early grave I felt all the loss Like I died a cross an unbearable rain Like when you fail To find the path to ease your pain Sometimes you need to fin The strenght just to sail away Will remember my name (Katherine of Aragon) Walking through the dark path of my life Serpents crawling around your feet Searching for more than shadows, a sign A peaceful place for me to sleep A flash of lightning shows me the way Yet the falling thunder blares my mind I feel so trapped, I've something to say but no one is there to hear my cries I want to live but I don't have a life To get one, I know I must die It's so ironic, it makes me scream Just like a big man in a room of steam Hell! I need help right now! To end my torture, bare my crown I need you, it was a mistake for us to part I love you, you're mine You defiled, the betrayed Katerina oh so sad And your fights will remain In eternity, in our dreams _______________________________________ 6. 77 Days 'til Doomsday It's 2063, and it's the death Of the last tree And in this world of great illusions We are driven in confusion Our creation, once a miracle Now destroyed by our hand We won't live to see 2064 Not in this world I'm in heaven, 77 days 'til doomsday Break the circle, 77 days 'til we're gone Look to the sky and ask Him "Why'd You let me go?" We devoured this wonderful kingdom This is Hell We're part of it somehow Self-destructive and hypocritical This behaviour is so typical How I wish it made more sense We won't live to see 2064 Not in this world This obsession in our heads _______________________________________ 7. Emir of the Faithful A leader of Islam A warrior with greatness in his heart A humanitarian So different from what we know so far Commander of the faithful Against the French invaders He became triumphant (He became the leader) He is the sun The true side of Quran (Emir of the faithful, the war machine, Faithful among the seven tribes) He is the one The true side of Quran (Another faith or another king Fell under his protective wing) Enduring the death Providing unity for men A middle-east warrior He was admired by the French He released the Damascus See the greatness in his soul _______________________________________ 8. Hollow Eyes of Nefertiti From Ahmose-Nefertari Love of King Akhenaten Royal mistress of on chariots And a beauty like Isis True believer in Aten No more different Than traditional gods They embraced all his wisdom The queen and the love of her life Now, fallen from grace She was erased From the scriptures of history What a way to die, so young in mind It remains a mystery From the lands of Anubis And the soil of Osiris And the falcon-god Horus Oh wrath of Isis Riddles, always unsolved, A world of its own So many questions Why, we see on the walls Spirits and wars And who made the pyramids He is the spirit god She is the flame of all She is the one The devourer of his words A falcon who eats the snake To show its desert reign Stole the soul of Amhenotep the 4th From the king of the desert, Seth To the chariot of the god Ra And the glory of Hathor And Amun the creator Hollow eyes of Nefertiti Queen of all disguises and hope Without mercy, she will reign millenniums Goddess of humanity, Millenniums, she's the ruler of the stars _______________________________________ 9. Amenophis Behold the king, The 18th dynasty Has come to an end And no-one to explain How they went so far For 38 years of zero rain In a land of sun He brought the rain To those who remained Forever by his side Amenophis made us feel no pain Formed a world As we know it today Still we're hoping for a better day Still' our lives Won't need to fade away He our life's intellectual reign He the taker of all that is pain He brought prosperity He killed our vanity, avoided war Commissioned the temple The beautiful temple of Luxor Diplomacy and economic growth The Egypt of our dreams 400 tablets all made of clay Will reveal what he said Words I fear, idols of humanity Words I fear, fear no christianity _______________________________________ 10. Lost Ithaca Oime, what have I become? A wanderer, I am roaming the seven seas Oh how I crave to leave the darkness Oh wise one don't take my flame away My heart will stay with her forever A hero, a warrior, a slayer In the seven seas In the dark evil seven seas In the cold silent seven seas I will dwell forevermore You are the deceiver, the fool The devourer, the tool And you're breaking all my rules You dare to come into my house And insult my spouse But I'm coming for you Oh Athena Rescue me from this evil Well I've been through worse As I recall, the sirens are calling The one-eyed is falling Across the deadly sea That's how I came to be A hero of my land, oh my lost Ithaca I've been through war and pain I know it was in vain If not for the Trojan horse The walls would never fall I faced the giant beast The witch that gave me peace The snake.eyed siren song That put my heart at ease The suitors failed to see That they could not compete And as I strained the bow And cleaned the floor from teeth My thoughts went to my son Watching the setting sun, He is the only one, The strength to carry on As I recall the years I fought a thousand fears The view of Ithaca, beloved Ithaca _______________________________________ 11. I Sail Across the Seven Seas Warrior, won't you dive Into the depths of Hades Warrior, won't you dive Into the depths of Hades You chose the wrong time to tell me lies Your soul put prison for a price Your kind will be slaughtered here at The court of Odysseus Warrior, won't you dive Into the depths of Hades What kept me going through the war Was a vision of a kingdom that I saw A sweet embrace awaiting So may years now lost in the ancient Winds that will take me back To the one I love You'll see his shadow appear before thee And you will see what it takes to be king I found my way into a dream of war And things of what you will never know I saw what it means "want it all" And you won't borrow You won't sell my dream With your deception or so it seems I sail across the seven seas You chose the wrong time to tell me lies Your soul put prison for a price Your kind will be slaughtered here at The court of Odysseus Lord of this house, king of the island In your deforming eyes My son, I missed all the tears that he shed The trees the mountains The soil they have bled I found my way into a dream of war And things Of what you will never know I saw it all Sometimes more than I wanna know Burning my dreams in my mind Or so it seams Cause I sail across the seven seas _______________________________________ 12. The Fall of Mardonius The time for battle has come For Greece to crash the Persians In Boeotia in 479 B.C. They formed alliances of mighty strength Of Sparta, Corinth, Megara, Athens The future of their descendants Lies upon their hands March, march with shields of steel Break the enemy in the fields Raise your swords, take their heads Holocaust, realities of war Dark is their spell Hover the mist Hollow the wheel carries on Over and over and over again Life is devoured by the war Silent and deadly the fall The Persians fought with rage in war The Greeks instead They fought with might and soul They killed Mardonius the leader A slaughter so untold Revenge for Thermopylae finally came But what cam after was the Marathon The one that finally put an end To this war, to this war Dark is their spell Hover the mist Hollow the wheel carries on Over and over and over again Life is devoured by the war Silent and deadly the fall The fall of Mardonius _______________________________________ 13. The Poet Aftermath She was all the pain in his poems She was driven by insanity for love Then they said there's magic in his hands 'cause when you read his scripts You fall into misery I will live forever and a day Take the slender veil And throw it on the flames Of endless pyre When the fallen angel Sings to me of all I desire I fall apart Sinful smile, oh how you let me go Everything he wrote Was everything to come Bloody ink will only heal my pain To reveal to me that we all die in vain	[No official videos]
