Lyrics


1. HERO

Dark comes the dawn, dark seems my fate
Out of the walls a dog's crying my name
The god's puppet fights with their shield while my flesh bites the steel

Think you are brave, I see your game
Divine goats you have, but will you face a certain death With just mortal hands?

I'm the hero of men
You're an olympus pet
I get the glory you'll never deserve

Destiny, sent me an invitation
Agony, shall ride by my side
Fuck your blood and suffer your damnation
Hector holds the anthem of the human pride

Destiny, sent me an invitation
Agony, shall ride by my side
Fuck your blood and suffer your damnation
Hector holds the anthem of the human pride

I'm the hero of men
You're an olympus pet
I get the glory you'll never deserve

Destiny, sent me an invitation
Agony, shall ride by my side
Fuck your blood and suffer your damnation
Hector holds the anthem of the human pride

Destiny, sent me an invitation
Agony, shall ride by my side
Fuck your blood and suffer your damnation
Hector holds the anthem of the human pride


2. MY LITTLE BUTTERFLY

Saw a bright of confidence in your eyes
Two mirrors reflecting my own desire
I walked to your smile, and there died my dreams

A beginning faster than any thought
No one got so close as you did before
Poisoned tongue, firing your words

I’ll never know what you got with my pain
What are the rules, of the game we have played, 'cause

You, ate my heart and ate my flesh
And proclaimed your innocence
While my blood run through your lips
And I lay dead, at your feet
But my anger burns inside
And you have nowhere to hide
Oh my little butterfly I will not rest
'Till you die!!!

You, ate my heart and ate my flesh
And proclaimed your innocence
While my blood run through your lips
And I lay dead, at your feet
But my anger burns inside
And you have nowhere to hide
Oh my little butterfly I will not rest
'Till you die!!!


3. ROTTEN CROSS

Killing pyres, illuminating the way
To the greatest false illusion
Five hundred years ago, our ignorance was their strength
And goodness their disguise

I don’t know, the time when one of us destroyed the chains
But the knowledge gave us freedom to decide
You sowed death, don't feel amazed because you harvest hate
Now your time is running out

Wisdom times
Blind faith's fallen
With the rotten cross

Still trying to impose today, your fucking moral code
When the crowds spit on your faces
Get locked inside your church, and stay there till you die
I swear I’ll try you don't get burnt

I don’t know, the time when one of us destroyed the chains
But the knowledge gave us freedom to decide
You sowed death, don't feel amazed because you harvest hate
Now your time is running out

Wisdom times
Blind faith's fallen
With the rotten cross


4. LIGHTNING RIDER

A new age soon will come
Brought by tears of the ones
Who live and die in pain

The prayers fill the air
And get at last to the right place
The hidden greatest reign

Another lie, another crime, another sleepless night
The need of sanity and hope
So now it's time to sing my song
Another king must fall

Midnight fighter, sent by elder gods of rain and stone
You prayed for my return
Lightning rider, keeper of the secrets of the stone
I'll purify this world

Time is running out
For those who put upon your head
The oppressive boots of death

Let the helpless win this day
Their avenger ride again the Earth
I bring what they deserve

Another lie, another crime, another sleepless night
The need of sanity and hope
So now it's time to sing my song
Another king must fall

Midnight fighter, sent by elder gods of rain and stone
You prayed for my return
Lightning rider, keeper of the secrets of the stone
I'll purify this world

Midnight fighter, sent by elder gods of rain and stone
You prayed for my return
Lightning rider, keeper of the secrets of the stone
I'll purify this world


5. DANCING IN THE LIGHT

First vision of the day, all the blackness that awaits
And no ray of light can pass it through
Every step I’ve ever made, lost its meaning in the way
So what’s the point in keep walking now?

Nobody told me, tears can fall from any laugh
Today you are here, tomorrow you fade away
Say that you love me, say that you need me in your life
Give me the strength for not just lay and die

I need to find deep in your eyes
The way that I once lost
Now I can feel her embrace keeps me warm

We’re dancing in the light
Hiding from the shadows of the night
Her smile is our guide
The mistress who we all call hope
Save us from the dark

Think I’ll never leave behind, this black feeling grown Inside
But I can fight it if you stand by me
Asking why I have to live, I find my reason in your lips
And when your words are gone, they’ll carry me

Can’t break the chains of silence
Today my will of fighting
Lives in your heart, flies with your voice

We’re dancing in the light
Hiding from the shadows of the night
Her smile is our guide
The mistress who we all call hope
Save us from the dark


6. HELLHOUNDS

Devil:
Look back! they're running just behind
Barking with fire in their throats
My hell Hounds will find you anywhere
They bring me every condemned soul
Cold and paralyzing, black death filling their eyes
A smashing fear crush your spine
Flesh, blood, bones, skin fall under their fangs of steel
Think you have suffered? wait for me...

Templar:
Thought I was in the right side
All of my acts follow his guide
Now my worst nightmare runs behind
Why am I a condemned soul?
Killing for justice all my life
Now for salvation I must fight

God:
You were useful for my plans but now you're scum
For your obedience be proud, our faith grows strong
But the blood that stains your steel claims for your soul

The Hounds:
Please run! give us an endless race
Seeking your fear across the lands
We see now your staggering silhouette
The sword is falling from your hands
Face to face reaction, someone you've seen before
Your fallen comrades turned to beasts
You cry, you pray and all in vain
Scream while we rip your flesh
Join us and pay as well our sins

Templar:
Thought I was in the right side
All of my acts follow his guide
Now my worst nightmare runs behind
Why am I a condemned soul?
Killing for justice all my life
Into the abyss now I ride

God:
You were useful for my plans but now you're scum
For your obedience be proud, our faith grows strong
But the blood that stains your steel claims for your soul


7. DEVIL IS MY WITNESS

Devil is my witness
A living horror running through the planes
Demonic creatures, for blood and flesh they’re sent
Light in the darkness, roots in the sands
The fire of hell’s their guide

Far are the times we had a god to pray
Believed in heaven, now believe in hell
We had to choose between kill or die
And I still love my life

I can remember my old friends knelt with me
Now they are screaming, their hearts in my hands beat
They didn't notice our god is not here
He run away in fear

The devil came one day, reclaimed this lands
And soon his followers appeared from everywhere
As we were begging for a divine sign
We were reduced to dust

Now that I see who's the ruler in earth
I leave all my convictions behind
Fast I became what I always condemned
But I'm still alive

Facing the truth
Eternal fight between the faith
And the for a million years demonstrated
Evil in our hearts
Never had a real chance
Devil is my witness, at this time

In front of pyres, merciless I stand
Now every creature forgot the mercy's name
Those burning bodies, their souls burn in hell
No heaven to go my friend

Now a complete destruction fills the air,
I only wonder if surrender was the key
'Cause evil nightmares won at last the fight
When we all change our side

Now that I see who's the ruler in earth
I leave all my convictions behind
Fast I became what I always condemned
But I'm still alive

Facing the truth
Eternal fight between the faith
And the for a million years demonstrated
Evil in our hearts
Never had a real chance
Devil is my witness, at this time

Facing the truth
Eternal fight between the faith
And the for a million years demonstrated
Evil in our hearts
Never had a real chance
Devil is my witness, at this time


8. BLACK SANDS

We run and don't look back
Feeling in our napes the mortal breath
We finally lost control, rebellion in your hearts
Finding no one to blame
Solution was at hand, technology
We had to fly in time
Our only chance to leave this hell

We chose the place and time
Where men were more disposed to believe
You'll be the almighty one
Your people must obey
This kingdom soon will grow
With temples for each god, everywhere
Our word becomes your law
We get what we deserve

Pharaoh spread our will over the lands
Slavery turns to black these sands

High, high as the sun
Leaving our future we build a new past
Founded on lies

High, high as the sun
Leaving our future we build a new past
Founded on lies

The secret must prevail
We cannot make again the same mistake
As legends we shall stand
Divinity won't fail
You fear what you can't see
A whisper in your mind, the strongest seal
Eternal power rests
Pyramids our chests

Pharaoh spread our will over the lands
Slavery turns to black these sands

High, high as the sun
Leaving our future we build a new past
Founded on lies

High, high as the sun
Leaving our future we build a new past
Founded on lies

High, high as the sun
Leaving our future we build a new past


9. JERUSALEM

Feel the sacred thunder, roaring in my brain
Leaving all behind the call, leads to jesus every man
Never dreamt of killing, for my god I will
The defence of holy land
Pope blessed men, jerusalem!

Just a simple peasant, riding with his lord
I'm supposed to feel like kings, but I only think of home
I'll destroy what I'll be told, or they'll destroy our creed
Got the devil in their minds, why the hell they think like Me?

Feel the choice, dancing on my soul
An inner voice is telling me that we're all wrong
If pain and death, are the holy word, I'm going home

A victim who was blind, leaves the darkness far behind
My salvation is my spirit cannot die
Victory I hold, payment is to walk alone
Now my god has lost a soldier but I've won

A hundred years of murders, forever will remain
Many gave their lives for what? just a stupid empty faith
Blood and war were our gifts, and so they paid our sins
If any day our gods were real, now they're surely far from Here

Feel the choice, dancing on my soul
An inner voice is telling me that we're all wrong
If pain and death, are the holy word, I'm going home

A victim who was blind, leaves the darkness far behind
My salvation is my spirit cannot die
Victory I hold, payment is to walk alone
Now my god has lost a soldier but I've won

A victim who was blind, leaves the darkness far behind
My salvation is my spirit cannot die
Victory I hold, payment is to walk alone
Now my god has lost a soldier but I've won


10. THE DEMONS LAIR

ou are welcome to this nightmare, we dwell since you were Lost
We are demons we are angels, don't mind the name you call
With a little beam of light, we can burn your soul

Bloody skulls and rotten flesh lay here, in this hole of Death
Mystic symbols on the walls provide horror to our hands
Screaming voices from the dark, falling in the flames

Fighting won't save you from hell
Time to flow, through the seeds of your evil
We are visions in your head
From the grave, from your inner essence

As a miracle, came to you
After years we reach our freedom
We are able now to show your face
Coming visible, not a lie
Now the truth is no more hidden
From the first breath it's been your brain
The demons lair...
