1. Ad Astra Per Aspera [Instrumental] ________________________________________ 2. Anatolia I'll make your life a living hell, I'll turn your sorrow into pain Oh lay oh lay me to bed with the dragon I am the legend of this land, this savage beast I shall command I swear to all before the first shadows fall This is the story of a man who became a hero on this land He slayed the Gorgon, gave meaning to this blind society He fought with pride, defied the Gods he fell in love, embraced the lust Thousands of years of hollow emptiness Oh Anatolia, oh the world is a mirror of reality Oh Anatolia unchain the deadly flame I'll make your life a living hell, I'll turn your sorrow into pain Oh lay oh lay me to bed with the dragon I am the legend of this land, this savage beast I shall command I swear to all before the first shadows fall Oh Anatolia, oh the world is a mirror of reality Oh Anatolia I welcome you to Hell Oh Anatolia, oh the world is a mirror of reality Oh Anatolia is burning, unchain the deadly flame ________________________________________ 3. Son of Seriphos It's a shame your own kind driven to the wild sea The prophet he warned you that there will be hell to pay Now Danae holds him in her arms, his words echoing through her hair She sings her lullabies and keeps him warm and safe As the storm and wind push the chest to the ocean A drowning death you gave me and death you shall receive The one you betrayed will bury you one day To rise against your kindred is a sin The prophet is true, your flesh will rot away Forsaken, oh save me from a cold abandoned grave An island before me and a stranger in my way The fisherman Dictys found the chest near the rocks He seems like no ordinary man And as she announced that the infant is no less than a king He saved her, took her as his daughter A drowning death you gave me and death you shall receive The one you betrayed will bury you one day To rise against your kindred is a sin The prophet is true and vanity is our fate Cause good deeds, like the evil ones Return to those who commit them... ________________________________________ 4. Witch Hunter With sword in his hand he left Seriphos The words of the king were to take her soul Danae's lost in her loneliness she cannot bear the pain He travelled through mountains up in the north 3 women of grey with hearts of stone He took their only connection to the outside world The evil eye that helped them see Hunter, the hunter of death They stood there disgusting, evil in soul If they wanted to see the rest of the world They had to confess where the fairies live He needs the sandals From Hermes he took, and un-breakable sword A shield by Athena protector of all If not by her stare he would lay there frozen, made of stone Forgotten in the ruins ________________________________________ 5. The Spell I'm Under In dark and lifeless waters is where he came to be To find the hideous monster he has to find the nymphs They have bad tempered wicked soul and dwell in pools of blood The underworld and river styx a sight oh so sad This was their own damnation to rule the rivers of Hell and what he came to find But they were not immortal they feared his silver blade the winged sandals The spell that I'm under my spirit asunder Watching you die is satisfying the hunger The spell that I'm under the beautiful hunter The one who will rid us from the terrible monster The spell that I'm under my spirit asunder watching You die is satisfying the hunger Into this cold world olympian order Abomination The story of young Narcissus was always in his head Echo swims in filthy waters, wishing she were dead The evil stench of their embrace, these creatures of this Hell He wish he were in another place, young maidens in his bed This was their own damnation to rule the rivers of Hell and what he came to find But they were not immortal they feared his silver blade the special pouch ________________________________________ 6. Dramatis Personae I've been waiting for so long Felt the fire burn inside me And I hear the siren's song That my doom will come to find me In my mind the kingdom lies beyond the sun Last calling for my name On the horizon You won't save me My father if I'm slain I'll rise again for you Follow me, shelter me father of my sins Crossing the cyan sky Stay with me oh won't you stay with me Oh protect me from her evil stare ________________________________________ 7. Dark Gorgon Rising (Oh beware blood-thirsty killer) She lurks into the dungeon (Eyes so cold, the strike of the beast) Oh what monstrosity Don't dare to enter her den you'll join the rest of them A pile of bones and no morning light no morning light for you to see Over this I discover me In river tombs Where the oceans are deep and dark She waits for you In river tombs All the statues of stone, stone inside In river tombs Now the snake will devour you She'll eat you alive A little tomb, one of your own To rest eternally Gotta beware of this evil creature oh used to be so beautiful A lovely maiden from the north, oh cursed Athena Cursed fates what I've become? Just to stare into the sun Snakes for hair and a hissing tongue whistling evil chanting songs He found the 3 Gorgons Medusa the only mortal one Serpent scales, bronze hands, golden wings, god-provided shield He saw her reflection, behind the ancient columns, lifted the sword Beheaded the beast, awaken sisters screaming eerie sounds of anger and despair Run, run, run away!!! ________________________________________ 8. Bloodborn I want to fly away now, I want to go back to my land I see this creature right beside me, oh so beautiful How can a head so frightening give birth to a winged miracle Oh feast your eyes it is he, the bloodborn Fly away The mighty god Poseidon, he would not let it come to life But with Medusa's death it's free to fly Stamina, pace and power will take me back where I belong To once again be by her side, the hardest task is done? Innocence in your heart makes sense Look into her eyes and tell me While you turn to stone my friend Innocence and my soul descends To the underworld of Hades Was it worth the fall of man? ________________________________________ 9. The Stone Abomination Never even knew existed a myth along the men From the depths of the abyss it came to ravage man Dragon of Poseidon, unearthly beast It would take a miracle to save the Fairy Queen From the sky the rider oh now she'll be free Look at that beautiful princess tied upon a rock Paying for her mother's sins she's offering her soul It's flying right towards me to bring down Pegasus I take out Medusa's head the monster dies alone Fight fire with fire oh from the snake-eyed witch Behold Medusa's head On and on you sail away I hold Medusa's head Cease your crying and feast your eyes on this Stone abomination, the vanity of the gods They told me what a blasphemy is to challenge the divine Veil of the virgin, girl oh why you look so sad? I walk to Andromeda to hold her in my arms Fight fire with fire oh from the snake-eyed witch ________________________________________ 10. For You I Will Die Young He who goes to seek the Gorgon is unlikely to return His mother will cry in sorrow in a funeral he will burn But he is the one exception hero like the burning sun Oh Persea Eurymedon be the ruler of the land Oh the beast has fallen back to where it belongs And I see a princess tied in chains to a rock I call upon the Northern Wind, the Nereids and The Venus Queen To ask the king for her hand in marriage And though it wasn't meant to be, it seems that it's our destiny To have her in my chambers before sunset She is the healer of my forsaken soul Cause you are the princess of my life The queen of my everlasting toll How can you save me? From olden times, for you I will die young But Phineus he came along To interrupt our wedding song And Cepheus what a treachery, he vanished And now what does that stupid fool want To give up all I ever wanted? I swear that he will dwell in the death silence I take the serpent head and turn them into stone The falling rain, the fall with the flame Oh King Polydectes now its your turn.... ________________________________________ 11. A Sad Day at Argos Oh one day the oracle it made his blood chill Told him one day that he'll be killed If he met her son he was forced to lock her up To never find a man who would give her a child A sad day at Argos, wipe the blood from a stone Oh Acrisius what have you done? Oh Acrisius you know the time has come But because of Zeus she was free from darkness By a god she was left with child For in front of the King he could not take his chances Banished her in a wooden box in the sea A sad day at Argos, wipe the blood from a stone Oh Acrisius what have you done? Oh Acrisius you know the time has come The boy escaped what's done is done Against the mortal warrior, you faced him once again You always thought you'll never, ever meet again He learned of Larissa and he went there instead He should have stayed at Argos now the King is dead ________________________________________ 12. Perseas Eurymedon Look to the sky, a hero in the stars, he earned his immortality protector over us A mortal among them so different and lost He longs so much to be reborn return back to us He is our nemesis inheritance, our pride There with the other gods of cultures so divine He falls in love and fights again the Gorgon in the sky Raise your royal sword and lead us with a battle cry Oh look up in the sky immortality Andromeda and Medusa they're all there to see The sins of all mankind and what's to be (Oh save me, forgive my ignorance) Corruption in high places and our vanity A war between all races and humanity The age of our heroes is no more I'm waiting for you the chosen one to speak to me in ancient tongue Can't you see in this world we've lost all hope Oh ancient gods of war! A voice commanding you From a dark window to nowhere now you scream and scream the world is ending only Perseas will stand tall! Immortality! Oh Persea Eurymedon beware, they will try to corrupt you too up there They will tell you lies, hide the truth try to shift the blame right on to you They will tell you leave your ancestors To their fate and forgive them for their faults We have learned a great lesson from you there is nothing impossible to do When we are alone and need a friend we can look up in the sky you will be there We have come to the end of this tale and our desert will finally see the rain... ________________________________________ 13.
