1. Catalaunian Fields
2. Death of a King
3. Eternal Names
4. Battle of Morgarten
5. Memento Mori
1. Catalaunian Fields
The disaster foretold
The Huns will fall
Back to their lands
Nations unite
Romans and Goth’s
Side by side
Besieging their foe
Day and night
Supposes whatever he does is right
He measures his ambition by his might
Licence satisfies his pride
Attila the fear of Europe!
The banners hid the sun
Turning day into night
50’000 strong
Attila’s fearsome hordes
On the Catalaunian fields
Where the brave king fell - Theodoric
With heroic songs he was bared
The Goth’s and Romans fast as light
Put the Huns to their swords
Driving them away
The water troubled with blood
On the Catalaunian fields
The disaster foretold
The Huns will fall
Back to their lands
Nations unite
Romans and Goth’s
Side by side
Besieging their foe
Day and night
Supposes whatever he does is right
He measures his ambition by his might
Licence satisfies his pride
Attila the fear of Europe!
Black ravens in the sky
Turning day into night
Goth’s against Goth’s
For allegiance they fought together they rot
On the Catalaunian fields
Where the brave king fell - Theodoric
With heroic songs he was bared
The Goth’s and Romans fast as light
Put the Huns to their swords
Driving them away
2. Death of a King
Oh why my forefathers rejected me?
And why my gods abandoned me?
The heads of the men that served me well
Expression in their eyes I just can’t bear
I can hear my ancestors call
Is this my time to come?
The royal blood in my veins
This is all that remains
Remembering the days when I ruled with sword and fire
The days that I had all I ever could desire
Fading of the memory of my glorious hopes
I prefer to die than kneel before their gods
As the sun shines into my eyes
And the shadow beneath me dies
I just look into their eyes
And I know I am not alone
With the sun, my legion dies
And the sands are drained with blood
I just look into their eyes
And I know I'll not be alone
Thinking of the days that I ruled with my sword
Drifted with desire of my fame and glory
Oh why my forefathers rejected me?
And why my gods abandoned me?
The heads of the man that served me well
Expression in their eyes I just can’t bear
I can hear my ancestors call
Is this my time to come?
The royal blood in my veins
This is all that remains
Remembering the days when I ruled with sword and fire
The days that I had all I ever could desire
Fading of the memory of my glorious hopes
I prefer to die than kneel before their gods
As the sun shines into my eyes
And the shadow beneath me dies
I just look into their eyes
And I know I am not alone
As my legion falls apart
And when the sound of iron is gone
I reject my only hope
And deny the existence of gods
3. Eternal Names
The light so bright
Their guide through the night
Vanished from the world
Like a fallen star
The deeds of the hero’s
We never forget
And they’ll live forever
In the songs of ancient times
Ajax, Achilles
Their names will be known forever
As their glory went hand in hand
With their fall
And the bards sang the songs
Of their victories
The light so bright
Their guide through the night
Vanished from the world
Like a fallen star
The deeds of the hero’s
We never forget
And they’ll live forever
In the songs of ancient times
Troy in flames
Achilles fame
Death by Paris arrow
In Trojan War
Ajax fell
By Hectors spear
4. Battle of Morgarten
Wanted to live in freedom like their forefathers
They rather die than live in captivity
For freedom they fought
The fearless Swiss peasants
Rather die than live in captivity
Like the legend tells
An arrow was shot
By Knight of Huenenberg
The message told the plot
“Watch out on St. Otmar’s day at the Morgarten”
With thousand less they ambushed the path
With halberds from the sky they flew on the Habsburg knights
With no room to defend they flew for their lives
Unfamiliar with the customs of battles between knights
Butchered everything that moved on their way
And everything unable to flee from their rage
Wanted to live in freedom like their forefathers
They rather die than live in captivity
For freedom they fought
The fearless Swiss peasants
They live now in freedom like their forefathers
The carnage began
With thousand less they ambushed the path
With halberds from the sky they flew on the Habsburg knights
With no room to defend they flew for their lives
Unfamiliar with the customs of battles between knights
Butchered everything that moved on their way
And everything unable to flee from their rage
5. Memento Mori
Memento Mori
Remember that you are mortal
Memento Mori
Remember that you will die
Memento Mori
Remember you are not a god
We are those who are doomed to die
We’ll never live forever
But we may be Immortal in the minds of others
Taken by disease, time or faith
You live only once
This is your last chance
Remember that you are mortal
The sands of time are running out
No, it will no wait
She will wait for you on the other side
Enter her domain
We may look at the sun for the last time
Carpe Diem, seize the day
For tomorrow we may die
Time is short and so is life
Eat, drink, laugh and cry
Gladiator in Arena
Or Cesar in his throne
For death they’re all the same
Death will come to all
Memento Mori
Remember your death
Memento Mori
Remember those who are here no more
We are those who are doomed to die
We’ll never live forever
But we may be Immortal in the minds of others
Taken by disease, time or faith
You live only once
This is your last chance
Remember that you are not a god
