Omens in the Storm 04:38
lyrics
buy track
Ἆρες (αδάμαστε) βρισάρματε, χρυσεοπήληξ, ὀβριμόθυμε, Νίκης εὐπολέμοιο πάτερ, Θέμιστος συναρωγὲ, σὺ θάρσος δὸς, εἰρήνης τε μένειν (ἐν ἀπήμοσι) θεσμοῖς δυσμενέων προφυγόντα μόθον κῆράς τε βιαίους. Sudden thunder tears the silence tonight, the dire future lurking revealed in its light An ominous storm sent forth to chastise, washing away both the hopes and the lies Chorus: What mortal sin brought this doom upon Men? What can undo all the Deeds that ‘ve been done? A god is coming to us through the storm The oracle shivers still lost in her trance, around her the flames and dark shadows dance Her cryptic words stirring the conscience of Men, trying to twist & deny what she meant Chorus Άρες άναξ, άλκιμε δαίμον, υπερμενέτα ἀντιβίοισι τύραννε στῆσον ἔριν λυσσῶσαν, ἄνες πόνον ἀλγεσίθυµον ἀλλάξας ἀλκὴν ὅπλων εἰς ἔργα τὰ ∆ηοῦς “All sweet laughter and light sleep have to be earned and the price is so steep Pain and regret, strife and loss, a black river we will swim across” Clouds in the sky form a face staring down Eyes blaze with lightning, his voice shakes the ground Chorus

Wrath of the exiled God 05:00
lyrics
buy track
They plot to cast us out of their Heaven, built upon the masses’ ignorant toil; the human soil Gifts delivered all coated with poison, licking tongues spreading fear and disease; this all must cease Chorus: Rise up like waves in wild seas to drown the land Souls merging in a whirlwind, to make a stand First breath you draw and the struggle commences, hard-earned survival and conflict entwined, by grand design Chorus Spark the flame, light the darkness, find the path – be the wrath Break the binds, cure the blindness, spread the word – let truth be heard From righteous man upholding virtues pure, to the hopeless seeking just to destroy From children fighting over useless toys, to old men plotting to regain their power To defend from tyrants who will take, or exact revenge by the hand of justice This existence is war without end, you're conquered the moment when you let your guard down Spark the flame, light the darkness, find the path – be the wrath Break the binds, cure the blindness, spread the word – let truth be heard So your future is laid down before thee, hollow eyes and the whispers of chains; cold bleak domains Or we curve a new path to Ascension, forged by our hopes and our zeal, by fire and steel It's the Wrath of the Exiled God, the Wrath of the Exiled God Fear the Wrath of the Exiled God, Hear the Wrath of the Exiled God It's the Wrath of the Exiled God of War

Illusion 06:18
lyrics
buy track
The Wrath of God is upon us but we lift our head forged to stand when the wind blows until our blood is shed so as we search the horizon, for the day when we’re free we stand up for Destiny’s calling, sailing through its troubled sea Behind Iron doors they sat and conspired, under the veil of night Invoking the fear to bend our judgment, make us revert our eyes Some need to believe in the lies they are given and others they don’t care The herd slowly wanes and blindly it follows, obediently they stare Chorus: Shake the ground, feeble minds under control we resist the intrusion, we dispel your illusion We stormed down the walls to march for Rebellion, we'll try to reach the sun What is rightfully ours to take back with sheer force, this world must be undone Chorus When the axe comes falling, we will rise Blood-stained gold is buying, we deny Twisting roads mislead us, we won’t turn And when the final day comes, they will burn the Wrath of God is upon us but we lift our head forged to stand when the wind growls until our blood is shed so as they split the horizon between freedom and yield we stand before our own judgement, choices you cannot conceal

A glimpse over the Edge 07:39
lyrics
buy track
Whose voice is speaking inside a Man's brain? Is it conscious righteousness or is it only gain? How many winters until one can heal? and what is it that arms a hand with instruments that will kill? Shards and reflections of deeds we have done, waiting, pretending salvation will come A glimpse over the edge A glimpse over the edge – can change the man you used to be What act of kindness will make one forgive / which twisted and secret desire, inspires the will to live What urgent pressure makes the slothful run / How regret and bitterness can change the nature of a man Averting your gaze from your deepest dark thoughts, when your mind sleeps then your stomach’s in knots A glimpse over the edge A glimpse over the edge – is enough to break the strongest will And there shall be times when the truth will hang on the mouths of the mad and the wise… shall be driven insane All we get to hold is moments and illusions, they vanish in the light of dark events Fabricate your truth, something you can believe in, with everything you lose the stronger that you get All that we have built is sinking in the quicksand, firm in our beliefs so we don’t see The more I get to know, the more the lines are blurring, what matters in the end and what remains?

March of the Damned 05:26
lyrics
buy track
Sins of the past haunt us today, echoing torments from Hell Chained to the Grind, circling around, in course to found our own trail But this darkness breeds light, forging despair to fearless might Forgotten hopes light the way, as they burn away Chorus: March of the Damned, towards Eternity, each step against our cursed Legacy The tables shall turn when the blood in our veins starts to burn to leave this land of the dead Illusions are cast, concealing our cage, we're blissfully fading away But really waits, the predator lurks and suddenly seizes its prey In a sudden black flash, all that matters will come to pass We will stand in their way with so much to say Chorus I choose to walk – the dark road ahead I have to walk – the dark road ahead I now must walk – the dark road ahead

Ruination 04:34
lyrics
buy track
In the midst thousands of hearts have ceased to beat The earth still rumbles under hooves and marching feet And I, soaked in my enemies’ blood One breath, I draw it as if it’s my last Chorus: Let all the values I have lived for be my salvation As I dive into the flames of Ruination On wings of rage, justice be done, my last aspiration They shall taste their bitter end - Ruination Souls are rising like a flamewave, burning all that stands against the tide Cleanse all hells and purge the wicked, stare into the eye of the divine Above us a great shadow falls, the God appears Ares in his fury yells and throws his spear Today either redemption and glory we’ll find Or Death, for our children to live in the sunshine

Among the Ashes 03:35
lyrics
buy track
The fire is slowly burning out, drowning in a shroud of doubt eyes fixed on the eternal sky, too late to answer why still refuse to play along, dance to their macabre song leaders they will never care, people we will never learn Among the ashes I lie alone, breathing in the morning sun Among the ashes the silence grows, of tomorrows that won't come waiting until all is done Time to go in vain, forgotten and unnamed some will rise again where we now still stand, free until the end Among the ashes I lie alone, breathing in the morning sun Among the ashes the silence grows of tomorrow’s that won’t come Waiting until all is done

the last Men standing 05:14
lyrics
buy track
We come alive at night, under the frozen light to feel the freedom’s touch that we so cherish We ascend in a stairway of dreams, dance away from all their malice Building up a place we belong, reaching up to the stars Chorus: Because I’m not the only one to rise up to the calling We are the last men standing I do not blame the world for they don’t understand, don’t need to trust in promises they’ve broken All I need is a moment to fly, in solidarity and understanding Burn our own path all through the sky, changing our destiny Chorus: So I am not the only one, to rise up to the calling We are the last men standing All I wanted was to end this war, to find the answers I’ve been searching for I’ll share the truth if you grand me one wish, your secret side is where you’ll find real peace

Epilogue - As the Fates weave 04:32
lyrics
buy track
As the Fates weave, infants grow tall As the Fates weave, empires fall Footprints fading on the sand, whispers we obey We all crawl along our path, waiting for the day Who can defy their cruel calling, who doesn’t long for their Grace The wise, the crippled and the mercenary’s flail, all bind and struggle to stay Ethereal strings that pull and bind, a web Clotho has made Puppets shiver, bleed and act, in the inevitable tragic play We tread in the fog without knowing what treasure we just left behind Then Lachesis rattles her hollow chimes, brings glory & horror to life Kings and fools indulge their day, slaves mourn and obey They're switching places as Atropos is swinging her sceptre their way
