Prometheus 05:36
A million years ago An era is about to rise The old will find the new Like the father with the son The titans from one side The gods from the other side. It’s the clash of the Titans Which side shall he take? Will he choose the past or the future It’s an option to take. He sets fire to the ground “I’m with you, oh mighty Zeus”. “An alliance”, he says at once. “PROMETHEUS” Hey! Oh! Prometheus. Hey! Oh! The son of the titans. Hey! Oh! He steals the sacred fire An emblem of true power! It’s the clash of the Titans Which side shall he take? Will he choose the past or the future It’s an option to take. He steals the fire of the gods This cautious, prudent stranger. Running quickly from Mt. Olympus “PROMETHEUS”. He wants the people to survive This first man of his kind. Mentioned for eternity The point of no return. It’s a message across the time Delivered through the nations Even though the chains exist He always will be free Smashing chains, shaking the ground Escaping from his prison (PROMETHEUS) There’s no mountain high enough For Prometheus of Fire!

Spent, all my life I got it spent Now I’m seeking to repent But all these memories are haunting me And lead me into a state of descent Now there’s darkness all around me and I can’t even pretend, is this the end? Rise, again, I’m the miracle of life We will meet again my friend Death, can’t bind, what the spirit holds inside It’s a journey with no end Rise! I heard a voice calling “Rise!” Right in front of my demise But it’s the trickster of my mind’s hell (Or) guidance to the path to paradise Now the same voice is calling me to Strip my soul’s disguise, to pay the price. Rise, again, I’m the miracle of life We will meet again my friend Death, can’t bind, what the spirit holds inside It’s a journey with no end And everything started to fall My name I couldn’t recall The remnants of past, the whispers of lust The scenes of my grim fairy tale The moments of grief, the times of relief They faded without any trail And everything started to fall My name I couldn’t recall The remnants of past, the whispers of lust The scenes of my grim fairy tale The moments of grief, the times of relief They faded without any trail And everything started to fall, Like hopes that crashed on the wall Her name was light, and yet I was blind To see the pitfalls of fate So, I took the chance and stepped in to dance. But the partner I chose never came Rise, again, I’m the miracle of life We will meet again my friend Death, can’t bind, what the spirit holds inside It’s a journey with no end Because my time has just begun.

The eagle seizes his enemy’s stand, a blur full of hate, commands now his will, Minerva will help him, the wind closes in, The son of Thetis, raised in the Styx. The eagle seizes his enemy’s stand, a hateful blur, commands his will, Minerva will help him The son of Thetis raised by the Styx. He’s the lion, how strong now his will, the higher the purpose, the braver the skill, “The shield and the helmet, to Apollo I pray, in order to help me to protect my family”. It’s the sword against the sword. The shield against the shield. Fighting for friendship, fighting for peace (to kill). “Please Gods help me, the oracle is here, I accept my destiny, to die for my land”. Priamus is crawling: “Oh no my son”. Hecabe into tears: “Why, oh my Gods? You chose to take the brightest of our sons”.

The Wanderer 05:19
Entering the tavern where the fellas want to rest Full of conversations for the soldiers of the west Smelly, full of mold, the wanderers don’t care As long as they hold, a pint of “Samuel’s Ale”. “Come and sit along us, dear stranger, What’s your secret business? Lies, please don’t tell.” “How cordial could ever a northern town to be, Suspicious are your intentions, oh that’s an armory?” Not even thirty seconds, already passed away Two shiny heavy metals, brandished towards him Unlikely to the others, he didn’t blink an eye, He only made a movement, “One more stout pint?” How furious could a man be? When he receives dishonesty? Medieval years we are going through With battle’s believed to prove fortitude. How fiercely he stands, against them Confident about his presence of mind “Get out of my way, there’s a mission ahead! No time to waste with your bloody heads. Here they lie, down to the ground Because they stood in front of his way. The ranger must continue the path, While armies of west, gain the ground. This is the way, the story begins of Lucius the Brave, from battalion grey His secret mission, he must fulfill, in order to save humanity (from the army of Frayie)

Unholy Land 08:40
At the dawn of the new century the armies of Pope, sail away for hostile lands, eastern far, religious cause, (is) their “coat of arms” Like hundreds march from the west various groups of nobles and kings priests of the truth, they believe Freedom for the land of (the) Anatoly. Stand up and fight awaiting into the night Seeking deliverance I swear to keep my oath Stand up and fight come brother side by side Proclaim what is our right it’s time to draw my sword It’s the dusk of the lives that have passed Revealing the death we have spread to innocent souls, it’s our cross Set fire for the moral responsibles Like hundreds marched for centuries all you were thieves, scums, outlaws for money you rapped, slaughtered, killed To hell you shall be, for eternity Two cultures collide once again they fight for a cause, silly one equally fanatics, they are Jerusalem, the unholy land. Two cultures collide once again they fight for a cause, silly one equally fanatics, they are Jerusalem… The Unholy Land awaiting into the night Seeking deliverance I swear to keep my oath Stand up and fight come brother side by side Proclaim what is our right it’s time to draw my sword Stood up to fight They sworn into a lie There’s no one left alive In the Unholy Land they lie.

Pater Noster, qui es in caelis, Sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum, Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo, et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, Et dimitte nobis debita nostra, (Amen) And when the moonlight touched the earth, the fangs of terror rose from the deepest shadows Seeking revenge for the bloodstained gown, of an innocent soul, who drowned in the black river to cleanse its purity All humans souls living in the mist welcome to my feast, your little girl Yes, she loved a beast! Sink into hate because of my face and call me a disgrace, tonight I will Feed, upon your flesh! (So Run) Until one night, that I was hunting, some bull elks (to quell my hunger), I saw a figure (so calm and pure), just by the river (no trace of anger) We fell in love, and I forgot, about loneliness and hate Until they haunted me down to the abyss, of my darkest fate And when the moonlight touched the earth, the fangs of terror rose from the deepest shadows Seeking revenge for the bloodstained gown, of an innocent soul, who drowned in the black river to cleanse its purity All humans souls living in the mist welcome to my feast, your little girl Yes, she loved a beast! Sink into hate because of my face and call me a disgrace, tonight I will Feed, upon your flesh! (So Run) Now, the pedals, of rose, Slowly they’re falling Her lips won’t move but I know that my name she’s calling Soft bloody flakes of snow will cover now her body She yelled for peace but she wasn’t heard by anybody The illuminating sky turns dark at this hour for her sake the sadness of the world I’ll devour Humans of the world, tonight I’m reborn as a slayer I’ll drag you to hell with me along with your last prayer
