1. IMMERSION

A proud kingdom
Glory everlasting
Or so it seemed
For one day they lost something
And ever since that day
They wait for it to return
For the voice of the deep to return


2. VOICE OF THE DEEP

Still, we serve this realm
Endless fortune, forgotten wealth
So long you've been away
We await the day
When at last you reclaim yourself
And take your rightful place, so

Reach for the sword of the moon
Break the inhibiting rune
Enter the emerald sea
Rise as the voice of the deep

A thousand years of night
Into darkness our prophets fell
Silencing our pleas
Will we find release
When we hear the voice again
Your blessing of the deep

Reach for the sword of the moon
Break the inhibiting rune
Enter the emerald sea
Rise as the voice of the deep

Find the missing part of you in the tide
Revel in the treasure of your kingdom
Leave the chain of landlocked dreams
To be where you belong
For power so strong

Reach for the sword of the moon
Break the inhibiting rune
Enter the emerald sea
Rise as the voice of the deep
Reach for the sword of the moon
Break the inhibiting rune
Enter the emerald sea
Rise as the voice of the deep


3. STRAIGHT AT ITS FACE

A curious ambition
An inkling that you had
Forthwith it was your mission
And drove you nearly mad

Capacity at maximum
Your stubbornness raised the stakes
There's no more room for mistakes
A final attempt
Or this is the end

Wait until night
Put in the distance
Don't turn around don't look
Straight at its face
There's no recourse and no assistance
Whatever you do don't look
Straight at its face
Straight at its face
Straight at its face

Erroneous assumption
There's one more piece to dispel
A contraption that will not function
This much you can foretell

At sunset you are entering
This realm of ill repute
Your destination: the root
It's time to descend
And never relent

Now that it’s night
You're putting in distance
Still
Don't turn around don't look
Straight at its face
There's no recourse and no assistance
Whatever you do don't look
Straight at its face

It's morning light
You've put in the distance
You turn around and look

There's no remorse no resistance
You close your eyes and look
Straight at its face
Straight at its face


4. FLEE

Many centuries have passed
Since her powers have been sealed
Through your exploration
Now that place has been revealed

A certain risk is part of every journey, every trade
You're quite used to facing danger
and no stranger to tempting fate

But one thing in this world
You were not meant to see
Your presence in these chambers
Causes instability

Reversal of the ritual
Unification of domains
That were long ago created
To inhibit her remains

There’s nothing in these halls
No chests of gold for you to steal
Reflected in the chamber walls
A dark duality

Flee
Run
The first link of her chains has been undone
You must escape from the sea
It has begun
Once revived she won't spare anyone

You must flee
Ride
Resist the temptation of her light
Calamity
Flee

The tremors surge
As you emerge
From the darkness underground

By now it is night
There's no light in sight
Except a shimmer when you turn around

You can barely see
But you know you must flee
From this dark sanctuary

Head toward the inland
Far away from the sea
Please

Flee
Run
The first link of her chains has been undone
You must escape from the sea
It has begun
Once revived she won't spare anyone

You must flee
Ride
Resist the temptation of her light
Calamity
Flee

Alive, alive
I'm alive
Reborn once more
I'm alive

Thanks to you
I'm alive
That much is true
But my vengeance on your race
Is overdue

The sky is clear
And for a moment you hear
Not a single sound

Then a flash of light
Suddenly it's bright
That's when the fireballs start raining down

Oh calamity
You have set it free
This fiery symphony
Flee, flee, flee

Flee
Run
The last link of her chains has been undone
Escape from the sea
It has begun
She's alive and won't spare anyone

You must flee
Ride
Resist the temptation of her light
Calamity
Flee


5. THE EMERALD DIVIDE

As another ship departs
Another fortnight has passed
They come they say goodbye and
Leave her island

This is all she has ever known
Her realm, her life, her home
And her natural devotion
To the ocean

She's to keep the flame alive
Through the darkness, she's the guide

And one summer's night
She stood on the shore
Gazing at the sea
Yearning to explore
What there may be
On the other side
Of the emerald divide

With her arms spread wide
She took one more step
And recalled the song
As her feet got wet
She's the one
The long lost bride
Of the emerald divide

A motherly embrace
Soon the waves caress her face
There's a pleasant new sensation
Alteration

In her new form she descends
Meets the dwellers of these lands
Visits the palace, and unforeseen
She knows their queen

So this is where you went
This is who you represent

And one summer's night
She stood on the shore
Gazing at the sea
Yearning to explore
What there may be
On the other side
Of the emerald divide

With her arms spread wide
She took one more step
And recalled the song
As her feet got wet
She's the one
The long lost bride
Of the emerald divide

At morning light
She lies on the shore
As consciousness
Returns once more
Memories of a magic night
In the emerald divide

An adventure that might
Change her course
She gets to her feet
Steps into the source
Will she seek
The cold delight
Of the emerald divide


6. IRA'NOS I (THE FINAL SONG OF MAN)

And thus the world was on the verge of demise
Global resignation, no more will to rise
Days before the tree of life would be felled
A final conclave was held

A young, nameless scholar stepped up and spoke
His master had failed an attempt to invoke
The subject of legends older than man
His final desperate plan
The rite near completion, but something went wrong
A barrier too strong

He recounted the tale of a city of yore
Home to the last pre-calamity corps
Maintainers of balance, crest of the grail
Keepers of the scale
The place that is bearing humanity's cross
Forgotten Ira'Nos

Ira'Nos
Noble fortress, reappear
Open your gates, the aspects are drawing near
Stand your ground, persevere
You will answer their calls
From your everlasting walls
For you are Ira'Nos
Ira'Nos.

The young, nameless scholar led the chosen group
Of sword, staff, and collar, crossbow and lute
Toward the frozen river mouth
A barren land down south
Not all would make it but it might suffice
They knew the likely price

At their destination the seven await
The senate had reforged this pact of ill fate
The circle was formed, incantations began
The final song of man
Revelation or failure, victory or loss
Arise, o Ira'Nos

Ira'Nos
Noble fortress, reappear
Open your gates, the aspects are drawing near
Stand your ground, persevere
You will answer their calls
From your everlasting walls
For you are Ira'Nos
Ira'Nos.


7. IRA'NOS II (RISE OF THE CITADEL)

Humanity has called in the favour
What say you, walls of Ira'Nos


8. IRA'NOS III (THE WALLS RESPOND)

Open the gates to Ira'Nos.


9. IRA'NOS IV (DEFEND)

Magnificent, majestic, one of a kind
Mortal remnants long left behind
They took our sins and those sins took control of their mind
Banished at an opportune time
Calamity

The corps surrounds the tree of life as the forces descend
Soldiers of Ira'Nos: Defend
Proudly raise your shields, show the crest, hold the ground till the end
This is the final stand
Of Ira'Nos

Ira'Nos
Noble fortress, you appeared
Opened your gates, the aspects are here
Stand your ground, persevere
You have answered their calls
From your everlasting walls
For you are Ira'Nos
Ira'Nos

The seven split in three and four as some come ashore
Heading to the poles, fulfilling their roles, like before
The citadel guides the walls and the walls guide the corps
Forevermore

It's the first time in history that man and the spirits unite
Praise the young nameless scholar and the ghost of his master at his side
Ira'Nos stands tall, hear its cries wall to wall, see its light
Witness the last fight
Of Ira'Nos

Ira'Nos
Noble fortress, you appeared
Opened your gates, the aspects are here
Stood your ground, persevered
You have answered their calls
From your everlasting walls
for you are Ira'Nos

Ira'Nos
Opened your gates, the aspects are here
Stood your ground, persevered
You have answered their calls
From your everlasting walls
For you are Ira’Nos
Ira’Nos
Ira’Nos
Ira’Nos


10. WHERE THE RAILROAD ENDS

Well then
Here we are
Soon your train
Will depart
May we meet again
Where the railroad ends

You've been with me
For so long
To see you leave
Feels so wrong
But we'll meet again
Where the railroad ends

Careful
With your step
A last embrace
Don't forget
I will hold your hand
Where the railroad ends

Motion
The time has come
I wave goodbye
And you move on
May we meet again
Where the railroad ends


11. WHAT KIND OF MAN

What kind of man will break with his name
And leave his rising fate behind
Walking off the road at the bend

What kind of man will head for the sea
When the ground is calling to his mind
Say what kind of man will abandon his land

He wouldn’t speak the truth of his fathers
He wouldn’t wear their sign

And in his hands, he held the future
A different fate for every man
Will he return from the far side of morning
Will he become that kind of man

What kind of man will break his own heart
And leave his glowing bride behind
Walking into the waves of the river of chance

What kind of man will do as fate wants
And befriend the demons of his mind
Say, what kind of man will give rise to the end

Although he shared his ancestor’s calling
Their ways were not aligned

And in his hands, he held the future
A different fate for every man
When he returns from the far side of morning
He will be that kind of man

And in his hands, he held the future
A different fate for every man
When he returns from the far side of morning
He will be that kind of man

He held the future
For every man
When he returns from the far side of morning
He will be that kind of man


12. REVOLUTION

Life is hard as mama used to say
No justice for the man
And only dues to pay

You toil and toil
For precious little
For a handful and a bite
There’s never joy
Enough. See, it will
Barely last the night

Life is hard
They’ve told you this
There’s nothing you can do
You may as well get used to it
And keep on getting through

But secretly
You started building
The resistance underground
Procured supplies
Secured assistance
Of too many to count
For whom

Life is hard
Who consider you
An important part
On their road to true
Deliverance
A circumstance
In which they’ll take this chance

Change the fate of the people
Raise the everyday man
Ride the wave of revolution
Rise up while you still can

The time is right
Rise and unite
For the people’s revolution
Raise your flag up high
Rise and unite
You’re the vanguard of this fight
Rise and unite

The day has come
We are assembled
Awaiting your command
We’ll make them run
We’ll make them tremble
They will understand that

Life is hard
For the forgotten class
When you’re not born into the blessed

Try as they might
Their birthright delight
Will expire tonight

Change the fate of the people
Raise the everyday man
Ride the wave of revolution
Rise up while you still can

The time is right
Rise and unite
For the people’s revolution
Raise your flag up high
Rise and unite
You’re the vanguard of this fight
Rise and unite

Change the fate of the people
Raise the everyday man
Ignite the revolution
And rise while you can

The time is right
Rise and unite
For the people’s revolution
Raise your flag up high
Rise and unite
You’re the vanguard of this fight
Rise and unite


13. RISE TO THE OCCASION

They await the reunion
Yes, the age of decadence is nigh
An emerging downward trend
We need you to stand up to it and defy
Lend us your service, past events reoccur

Rise to the occasion
Fate is calling you again
They return to where it all began
You've seen this before and kept the prophecy alive
Rise to the occasion one more time

Some have tried to prevent it
But in the end, only brief attempts were made
It's a struggle for the struggle's sake
And the one who could truly help was delayed
Forgive us and assist us
If you lead they might rise, rise

Rise to the occasion
Fate is calling you again
They return to where it all began
You've seen this before and kept the prophecy alive
Rise to the occasion one more time

Rise to the occasion
Fate is calling you again
They return to where it all began
You've seen this before and kept the prophecy alive
Rise to the occasion one more time


14. OUR TIME

I am here again
It has been a while, I'm glad to see you well
I have long since run out of stories to tell

Everyone's doing fine
They hope you return in style
They look back with a smile
At that time

Our time, our time
Please remember our time
Our time, our time
Remember our time
Our time, our time
Remember our time
Our time, our time
Let’s remember our time

Life has been alright
My endeavours were a success
You would be very proud, I guess

Not much else to say
Everything changed in a blink
But I won't tire to think
Back to that time

Our time, our time
Please remember our time
Our time, our time
Remember our time
Our time, our time
Remember our time
Our time, our time
Let’s remember our time

Our time, our time
Remember our time
Our time, our time
Let’s remember our time
Our time, our time
Remember our time
Our time, our time
Let’s remember our time
Our time, our time
Remember our time
Our time, our time
Let’s remember our time
