Lyrics


1. THE BIRTH OF A TRIBE

To the self-raised and the fatherless
To those without guidance
To the abandoned and the stateless
This is our time – the birth of a tribe

To the pariah and the outcast
To those who disobey
To the roamer and the hellion
This is our time – the birth of a tribe

We are those who catch fire
Headed towards lands unseen
We are the torch bearers
This is our time – the birth of a tribe

Wake up! wake up!
Get off your knees!
Raise hell! arise!
This is our time – the birth of a tribe


2. NOMADS OF THE WORLD BEYOND

In the archaic age of dread
An outcast tribe rebelled
They rose up as a clan
And an endless odyssey began
They don't praise the heavens above
Because everlasting is their bond
They are known by the name of
The nomads of the world beyond

To defy our mortal fears
Is our calling since 2000 years
Wandering through the outer world
Is the tradition we uphold
Disciples of the unrevealed
To be unseen is our shield
As the burning truth lights up our hearts
We fiercely gather under the stars

Restless spirit and resistance
Are the pillars of our existence
As the empire's light quickly fades
We strongly stand as renegades

We wrote our history together
And it will be remembered forever
We proudly crossed the vast sea
And boundless oceans to be free
For all the pain we embrace
And all the struggles we face
No tyrant can tear us apart
When we practise our secret art

We are the nomads of the world beyond

Let's sing our song!
Nomads! we are the exiled sons
Gather! gather! gather!

Oh my clandestine kin, gods have never been on our side
We are the forsaken rebels , bear the mark with pride
Don't let the kingdoms fool you - look ahead, leave them Behind
Resist the tyranny of gold, its lies made man blind

Shrouded in dust, sheltered in the sand,
We're the invisible proof of an unfathomable secret.
Our absolute truth is not of this world


3. UNTIL THE EARTH TAKES ME

From this life a learned a thing:
Never serve, never bend!
Of ecstasy and honour I sing
Until the very end.

You can mark my words:
I need to live unbowed
And to defy the gods
Until I'm underground.
With this world
I will finally be done
Only when the ground
Becomes my throne

Until this earth takes me
Restless Fire I will be
Until this earth takes me
Restless Fire I will be

The past burned my hand
But the wound made me see
Great truths I now understand
Great truths that kept me free

When in my dreams the deepest fears return
In sleepless nights and doubt I burn
But when at dawn my path is bright
I remember I was born to fight

Earth! before you I shall stand
Take me! so I can see your unconquered lands
Earth! oh mighty death, to you I bow down
Take me! when my time comes, I'll wear your crown

Until this earth takes me!


4. WE WHO LIGHT THE FIRE

Light the fire!

Fanatics with a vision
Going in global transmission
The insurrection's flag we wave
On the civilization's grave

Time is in our power
We light the fire!
It will burn forever
In this crucial hour
¡Enciendemos el fuego!
Now or never! it's time to strike

Faith to faith – our flame gets brighter
Stone by stone - our blaze grows higher
Strength to strength – we scream as one choir
Deed by deed - we who light the fire

This is our moment
Silence is now broken
Igniting the chain reaction
There's only death or action!

Time is in our power
Vi tänder elden!
It will burn forever
In this crucial hour
Accendiamo il fuoco!
Now or never! it's time to strike

Sing our choir:
”Light the fire”

The world is ours only when it burns...
Fire enchancement – our advancement!

¡Enciende el fuego!


5. DEAD SEA WATERS

This is not a story about life and death, victory or defeat
It's about you going far, obeying your instinct:

In a dream your statue appeared: a man who faces his fate
"He who dares beyond the horizon" reads the golden plate
You must abandon your loved ones if new water you want to Find
It awaits you on the other side, will you leave everything Behind?

Dead sea, dead sea waters flow
As you wander into the unknown
Dead sea, dead sea waters called
Will you seek the truth beyond?

At the dawning of the new day, bones flower from the sand
Under the scorching sun, for you may be the end
But through the arduous journey you remember who you are:
A lone man with a purpose, following your star

Deserts plains you cross in desolation
Is this crystal water a delusion?
Arcane echoes you have never heard before
Now resound from the dead sea shores


6. ANCIENT PRIDE (NECROMANTIA COVER)

The glory of your love
Is built upon our people's pain
And your glory is painted red
Of our noble blood you shed

You came and slaughtered odin
You came and murdered zeus
Our gods became your satan
And strength became our god

The ancient pride
Still burns within us

The wolf, the bear, the raven
Still guard the ancient soul
The ram will crush your temples
The bull will slay your priests

Honour, strength and joy
By force we'll purge our soil

If this world knows no honour anymore
we will revive our ancient pride!

You brought the faith of slavery
You crowned the king of slaves
You raped and spoiled our beauty
But you conquered not our hearts

The woods became our shelters
The caves became our shrines
Hidden from the greedy eyes
Of your mad, merciful god!

Beware the reprisal of our ancient pride!
