1. Two Islands
Deep within the dark ages
Times known for war and fury
The lowlands and the highlands were united
The mighty hordes of war turned west
Far beyond the channelled waves
All amidst the orange, green and brown
The land coloured red, white and blue
On the mighty battlefields
High over the planes the flags waved
Union Boots crushed clover leaves
Eilin pipes pierced by longbow arrows
Echoes of mighty clashes ring
Dim light at the horizon
Clouds of battle storms rise into the sky
All the colours bleed into one
How the mighty have fallen (now)
2. Vault of the Witness
A dark fragment of the land
Shining by the shields and swords
The battlecry lay in their eyes
But the only that clashed were their hearts
Suddenly the world fell in turbulence
Eroded silence and bloody soil
There was no lenience left behind
That could choke this insanity
Blind fury overshadowed grace
By the patterned scourge of hate
Sibilant tongue and imminent treason
Shattered the scattered
Thus guilt crawled away in the night
All were victims of frenetic murder
And the origin of a frenzied hex
When victory was forged with hoarse craft
Hatred smiling on the horizon
As if the sun herself was wounded
With the sore plague of cruelty
They would never have an absolution
Savagery except for a sole survivor
Trying to escape his frantic fate
Went into hiding in an isolated cave
Awaiting the closing of his days
"I looked into the eyes of death, felt its grasp clasping my heart
I felt the soft embrace of stone cold company
Wounded in the bottom of my soul, silently languishing”
Labuntur anni nec pietas moram
Rugis er instanti senectae
Adferet indomitarque morti
(Horatius Flaccus)
(The years go by and while the old age approaches, fidelity can not delay the wrinkles and I can not tame death.)
Tears were glistening in his eyes
He died but his spirit stayed captured
Imprisoned with the souls of his people
Until someone enters the vault of the witness
3. The Stone of Delusion's Saga: Lords of Delusion part I: The Five Disciples
Entrance to desecration, company distressed
Power to manipulation, malice demands
Pagandom and deep misfortune as runes on a granite wall
Secrecy which manifests in lords of delusion
Cherish perseverance as a virtue of faith
A hell that sets the world aflame
Yet no priest would ever lie
The moon exploded twice and without a single tear
This idyllic deprived tale was told to a wrong god
Echoes of better times that wandered once over this world
Burned in dogmatic flames
Secrecy which manifests in Lords of Delusion
Cherish perseverance as a virtue of faith
A hell that sets the world aflame
Yet no priest would ever lie
4. The Stone of Delusion's Saga: Lords of Delusion part II: The Prophecy Prevailed
5. Salvation
(Keybaord Intermezzo)
6. Lemuria's Crypt
Prologue
Only in the death of your saviour,
you can find salvation…
Part I
Summer turned into winter blast
It woke us then in blissful charm
Reflections in the diamond snowfield
Tyrant of utmost infestation
A darkish plague and a coming curse
Clung to fatal attraction
Infesting the poisonous chalice
With transmogrification
Abhorrent funeral horror
Scream this song of blood
Part II
The proud ethereal champion, my aesthetic baton of morale
We are betrothed of fire, of multiple desire
Ornamental shows in the deepest pits
The only acclamation of pure beloved brier
And faithless intoxication
Behold the elevation of Avalon damnation
Lemuria shines in powerful aura
They would never find a consolation
The deep spawn invoked in all times
“Reveal thyself unknown rider,
for the silent storms of Avalon approach”
Frightful was this divine sacrifice
Of malevolence and angelic renewal
Lightning stroke in twilight hour
Dark enfeeblement
The last day passed away
A minute of earthly bane
And the curse occurred that moment
Stronger as never before
I feel terror and agony in my veins
As I see the ruins of old Lemuria
Enclasp this awful demon
I’ve made my home be my gallows
Part III
(In that way the oracle was right, for no soul ever yearned again after that clandestine beauty. Except of me, victim of my own mortal pride. The dim landscapes rush into my head, memories of the wasteland, a profound pandemonium, torturing my spirit as the scraping of an old door. But I am faithful, and await my lot. Not scared anymore to undergo this ultimate getaway. What will be heaven beyond a paradise lost? I revive but I can feel my strength fading away. And no soul would ever return again…)
Part IV
Abhorrent funeral horror
Scream this song of blood
I stand here alone
As I went berserk in this nostalgic world
A culture once flourishing
Heaven beyond a paradise lost
Listen to the whispering words
They spell my incineration
Take me to the place of dementia
Entombed Lemuria’s crypt
Epilogue
I’ve made my home be my gallows…
{Dante}
7. 's Lands Glorie
