A gift from god
02:24
|

|
You make a man forget
All earthly treasures
And give all they have left for
the chance to walk in your light
Thy beauty is thy curse
A touch of your love
Brings more tears than joy
A glimpse into the blue
Places heart over mind
Inspires the fiery lust
To cage paradise
Reckless
To wage a war for you
Selfish
To reap the storm for you
All for you

The perfect excuse
05:22

Fury, brother
That maggot took her away
Assemble your forces
All of Troy will pay
Insult to Sparta
Their last mistake
My hunger will be fed
Another throne I will take
Not a soul could have known
That stolen love could turn the tide
And simple man would have to pay
The debt of a royal whim
Blind to see even if shown
That beast from hell soon will ride
Jaws of steel coming for the prince
Claws of fire coming for him
Not a god could have saved
A man against the king’s pride
Filled with lust, with thirst and greed
All behind a smile grim
The perfect excuse
For a perfect plan
You ended our truce
I will conquer your land
Set your sails to the east
To where the sun will hurt your eyes
Where the sand burns your feet
Is where our victory lies
I must seize this chance
Put this insolence to an end
Thereupon and forever more
My name will ascend
The perfect excuse
For a perfect plan
I swear by Zeus
I will conquer your land
Fear us, tremble and quake
For no gifts we bring
Only chaos and war
To you and your king

Assault
06:23
|

|
As the morning mist clears
Gazing at the calming blue
Far horizon turns to black
Head of the beast comes into view
Red sails paint the sea aflame
A flame to consume and erase
Nothing can survive this assault
Not stone nor flesh, only spirit ablaze
Enemy is at the gate
All to city walls
Take up your shields and your swords
Fight until the last man falls
Flesh falls on Mother Earth
Becoming the Mother herself
A feast for the crows
The Sea is crying red tears
The blood of our foes
Will grace our spears
Fuel the machine of war
Slaughter and kill
To spite the divine whore
Drive them back
Away from here
They dare attack
What we hold dear
Stand our ground
We will not flee
To our king we're bound
Our land will stay free
Behind me, my brothers in arms
The time for victory is ours
We need no gods by our side
Glory waits for those of power
We follow your lead
You clear the way for us all
As one we'll make them bleed
As one we'll make them fall
Blue flags will waver still
Lines will hold as one
Invincible are valor and will
Aided by the god of the sun
Tear down the gates
Tear down the walls
Bring me heads on plates
Till every Trojan falls
Power is my fate
You will never rule these lands
Power
Your fate is out of your hands
Power
Power is my fate

Hades on Earth
08:52
|
|||
|
For ten long years we charged these lands
Yet it seems that time stands still
Blood fills the Earth and drips from our hands
How much more blood will we have to spill
Charon’s fair awaits
For the weak and the foes
Hades is here on Earth
The wind of death still blows
Witnessed tempest and wrath of the gods
Fighting on this forsaken sand
Facing ever overwhelming odds
Unyielding we held, keeping our stand
Our bodies wither
Souls long for home
Days turn into months and years
Aimlessly we roam
Forsaken by
Heroes and gods
We are on our own
All alone
Descendants divine
Granting remedies
No heroes we need
Defeating our enemies
Honor and glory
Out there lie and wait
Dare to reach and claim
Eternalize your fate
Honor
Glory
Reach out and claim
Honor
Glory
Eternalize your fate
We do not kneel
Or fear a tyrant
We shield and protect
Our walls and men
One by one
You will suffer to see
All your futile years
Perish in flames
Follow my lead
We'll end this now
And carve our names deep
In the slate of time
Charon’s fair awaits
For the weak and the foes
Hades is here on Earth
The wind of death still blows
Fill up the river
She cares not for your war
Make her waters deep
With eternal desperation
The dark god chose a young soul
Beyond plain sight
Behind a leather tight
Lies a soulless child
Deceived all to fight
No more war that day
Sky gloomed over the bay
Everyone then knew
The slayer will pay
Slayer will pay

Welcome old friend
Your eyes speak of death
Your face pale with fear
Do calm your spirits here
My Lord it was you
We were all fooled and deceived
Death came for your soul
But took a terrible toll
The enemy prince fought like never before
Our ranks crumbled and pushed to shore
You came to our aid at our moment of need
Everyone believed it was you indeed
My brother is dead
Because of you
My brother is dead
There will be blood once again
He did not die in vain
My sword and spear will take revenge
My brother is dead
Together, we defied the gods
Our hands were tied forever
Now hands torn apart
Together, we'd reach the sun
May the gods aid me in my revenge
For I will never rest
Until your toll has been repaid
Blacksmith god of fire
Protect a grieving brother
Forge a divine armor
For me and no other

Before the gates
Burning with vengeance
The Sun behind him fuels his wrath
Bathed in the river Styx
He fears no sword
Driven by his brother’s death
He lusts for blood
Bastard
You took the coward's way
Slaying a child
Face me on this day
And face your demise
Loved for his noble path
The first born to a king
Does not flee
He stands to face the demigod
Your friend was brave
Yet foolish to fight
I wanted to take your life
Not the life of a child
The unimaginable begins
As blades slice the air
Deafening screams from this
Clash of rage and despair
Masters of arms and war
Both are godlike to simple men
Yet, only one the Gods adore
Lightfoot's spear cuts
A Trojan throat
Eye for an eye
It is said
No grief and no cry
For the dead
Eye for an eye
Justice done
Now rest where you lie
Little one

Coins for the boatman
06:22
|
|||
|
Deceiving moon over the sea
Casting shadows on the sand
Only missing is the shadow of me
Concealed by divine messengers’ hand
I enter the lions lair
With only tears to trade
Pain is too much to bear
As I see his body laid
My son, my flesh, my blood
My life, my water and air
With you I will be soon
For you I have this prayer
And
Coins for the boatman
To be placed on your eyes
So you can remember
Our smile not our cries
War, my brother's play
Terror for all who are made of clay
Yet, eager to risk it all
In the name of the ones who led them astray
Three days of peace are
My proposal for the dead
For all those who had to gaze at
Hell and not home instead
String of our soul
Should be ours to end
Cruel is the fate
For the strings cannot mend

Divine guidance
12:40

Festive in a time of sorrow
These people turn their heads away
Looking to future and tomorrow
In the name of the war god they pray
The battle is won and you are all free
Guarding your fates I will always be
The winning side you must find
For every battle you come across
War is cruel and justice is blind
Side with me or face your loss
Night is here, now strike swift
Strike them down at the heart
They welcomed our devious gift
The time is now to tear them apart
Silent is the devil's lair
But soon it will burn
After this night of pain and despair
Victorious I will return
I will return
I feel the certainty
Beginning of the end
Has the time come for me
To join my mother and my friend
Or is this not my ruin
Who can say
What do the gods have planned
By guidance divine
This is where you die
Your bones turn to dust
But your name shall rise
To the sky
In time be remembered
By the guidance divine
Those who are brave
Who follow their dreams
Rise above this plane
Immortal, eternal, forever
History be written
By the guidance divine
Death
Spreading like wildfire
Through the city streets, through its veins
Leave
No one breathing
Strike
Down women begging
Make their stone city
Burn
Like funeral pyre
Show
Them the meaning of
Pain
Song of the weeping choir
In agony and fear of
Darkness
As the flames burn higher
Only ashes and ruins lie
To be the king
To rule them all
To make them kneel
To be their god
To be remembered
For eons and ages
To be champion eternal
In the name of the gods
Let justice be done
For those innocent lives
Who paid for my crime
In time be remembered
By the guidance divine
By guidance divine
Let my arrow fly
And bring death to the one who
Brought death upon us all
History be written
By the guidance divine
