1. THE ADVENTURE BEGINS

The silence is broken
The sky is blazing
By honor, glory and pride
Return to the land
God of wind blow fast tonight
Seas of anguish make our pride
The adventure begins

Still sail on the seas
On wings our ship fly
To the Holy Land of dreams
Endless days and endless nights

Destiny seems so close
But the wind blows to the north
Soon a strange land appear
The adventure begins

Still sail on the seas
On wings our ship fly
To the Holy Land of dreams
Endless days and endless nights


2. THE FORBIDDEN SEED

Nine days against the wind
Sailing to the unknown
As the dawn breaks across the ocean
A strange land appears again

Come and rest our precious friends
Come and taste our unique seed
Sweet and magic, a gift of Gods
Can force your soul can free your mind

Forget and dream no more
Into oblivion fall
Your land you'll never see
Don't taste (the) forbidden seed

Those who dared to taste it
Are tied now upon the sails
Forbidden fruit, the nightmare ends
The leaf behind the lotus land

Forget and dream no more
Into oblivion fall
Your land you'll never see
Don't taste (the) forbidden seed


3. CYCLOPS

The giant is lurking into the shadows
Like a statue standing so proud
Lurid he is, a god child
Like oak he stands

Mountain man alone in darkness
As he drinks the divine wine
Angry he is by the strangers
Disgrace them, made them fear

Poseidon son, proud and evil
One by one the companions die
Poseidon son, proud and evil
One by one the companions die

But this hellish heart can not escape
Their rage is bigger than the fear
The plan is ready to execute
The stick is burning into his eye

Poseidon son, blind with pain
Polyphemus, the beast with the fierce soul
Blindness is the punishment forever
Blindness is the punishment forever

5. GIANTS (LESTRYGON’S LAND)

The Earth is trembling tonight
A huge form appears from behind
Tall as a mountain he stands
Welcome to Lestrygon's land

Oh, oh… the giant is out again
Oh, oh… watch for your life
A body like stone, his eyes so cold
The giant is out again
Oh, oh… prepare for the fight

Giants… huge and fearless sons of Gods
Giants… eaters of the flesh
Giants… between the ground and the shining sky
Ulysses… Fight until the end
Giants… huge and fearless sons of Gods
Giants… eaters of the flesh
Giants… between the ground and the shining sky
Fire, blood and death awaits

The slaughter now begins
In shore are wrecked all the ships
Those who had luck to the cape
Only Ulysses ship shall escape

Oh, oh… the giant is out again
Oh, oh… watch for your life
A body like stone, his eyes so cold
The giant is out again
Oh, oh… prepare for the fight

Giants… huge and fearless sons of Gods
Giants… eaters of the flesh
Giants… between the ground and the shining sky
Ulysses… Fight until the end
Giants… huge and fearless sons of Gods
Giants… eaters of the flesh
Giants… between the ground and the shining sky
Fire, blood and death awaits

Oh, oh… the giant is out again
Oh, oh… watch for your life
A body like stone, his eyes so cold
The giant is out again
Oh, oh… prepare for the fight

Giants… huge and fearless sons of Gods
Giants… eaters of the flesh
Giants… between the ground and the shining sky
Ulysses… Fight until the end
Giants… huge and fearless sons of Gods
Giants… eaters of the flesh
Giants… between the ground and the shining sky
Fire, blood and death awaits


6. THE SORCERESS

Spells and crafts are here
In the land where the sun sets
Can you sense the fear?
A heavenly voice is near
The Goddess gave us drink
The magic juice
Her deadly touch we fear
But it's too late

The sorceress
Her magic spells are near
The sorceress
The power to heal
The sorceress
Is it real or just a dream
Ulysses
Beware his sword of steel

The king sets for the quest
Where the stone palace lies
With sword and bow at hand
By the power of Gods he talks
Her poison juice he drinks
But the magic spells will fail
His turn comes for revenge
As the witch asks for his love

The sorceress
Her magic spells are near
The sorceress
The power to heal
The sorceress
Is it real or just a dream
Ulysses
Beware his sword of steel

Spells and craft we fear no more
Our trip begins to the underworld

The sorceress
Her magic spells are near
The sorceress
The power to heal
The sorceress
Is it real or just a dream
Ulysses
Beware his sword of steel


7. JOURNEY TO THE OTHER SIDE

In the shadows he creeps
To the land where no life dwells
Travelers in the western seas
To the other side of the mirror

For the great prophecy he seeks
Of the blind prophet Teresias
Who lives among the dead ones
To the other side of the mirror

To deepest seas we've traveled
To strongest winds we've conquered
To strange lands we're heading
Journey to the other side
The underworld is waiting
United we shall make it
Our power is divine
Journey to the other side

The prophet's soul is coming
The most proud of all (the) dead
(The) Master of all prophets
To the other side of the mirror

As he drinks the black blood
The great prophecy he speaks
For the return to kings land
To the other side of the mirror

To deepest seas we've traveled
To strongest winds we've conquered
To strange lands we're heading
Journey to the other side
The underworld is waiting
United we shall make it
Our power is divine
Journey to the other side

To all heroes and friends
For a last time he talks
And to his dead mother's soul
To the other side of the mirror

The keeper he escapes
Persephone didn't release her
He is the one who returns
From the other side of the mirror

To deepest seas we've traveled
To strongest winds we've conquered
To strange lands we're heading
Journey to the other side
The underworld is waiting
United we shall make it
Our power is divine
Journey to the other side

(Instrumental)


9. BETWEEN BITCH AND CHARIBDIS

Through the storm
Gazing to the unknown
The smell of death
Surrounds the red dressed sea
No one ever lived
From the deadly bitch
No one knows
The legend of Charibdis

Secrets, secrets of seven seas
Creatures that never before you've seen
Ulysses you have to find the quiz
You must decide… the bitch or the Charibdis

The wind now blows
And the sea disappears from our eyes
The challenge begins
Athena please help me this time
My sword and spear
Are thirsty for blood tonight
But the bitch is too strong
She brings death from above

Secrets, secrets of seven seas
Creatures that never before you've seen
Ulysses you have to find the quiz
You must decide… the bitch or the Charibdis


10. SLAUGHTER IN THE ISLAND OF THE SUN

As we seek our destiny
The island of the sun we see
Thirst and tiredness makes us pray
(But) Our oath is made never to break
Sleep now comes next day begins
The ships are tied by strong south winds
Cursed by (the) Gods the winds still blow
One month have passed still try to go

Silence
In the land of no escape
The oath should never break
Silence
In the island of the sun
Slaughter has begun
Slaughter

Days passed by the hunger grows
Despair and anguish breaks them all
The king decides to search the land
Helpless thought, the die is cast
(The) Vow is forgotten, fate is sealed
But Gods forced (the) king to deep sad sleep
Temptation is great, anxiety (is) increased
(The) sacred animals are killed

Silence
The Gods of light betrayed
The oath should never break
Silence
In the island of the sun
Slaughter has begun
Slaughter

Silence
In the land of no escape
The oath should never break
Silence
In the island of the sun
Slaughter has begun
Slaughter

Silence
The Gods of light betrayed
The oath should never break
Silence
In the island of the sun
Slaughter has begun
Slaughter


11. KALYPSO

Seven years in the fairy's island
Gazing the seas and the stars
Oblivion rivers and skies of sorrow
Makes him to dream of the past

The days became months and the months became years
And still his sadness unfolds
The fairy's love and compassion to him
Makes him to suffer more

Eternal life and youth he was promised
With tears he was begged just to stay
His every dream would become reality
But his decision remained

His destiny was his home
The tears and the dreams could not stop

Gods please hear my plea
Take away the sorrow and pain
Just to see my land for last time
Only once and then I may die

Zeus the Thunderer heard his plea
The Fates have decide for his life
Hermes leaves from the skies above
And reaches the Fairy's land

The message was clear the king had to leave
Her love could not make him stay
With tears in her eyes and sorrow in her heart
In divine order she obey

His destiny was his home
The tears and the dreams could not stop

Gods please hear my plea
Take away the sorrow and pain
Just to see my land for last time
Only once and then I may die

His destiny was his home
The tears and the dreams could not stop

Gods please hear my plea
Take away the sorrow and pain
Just to see my land for last time
Only once and then I may die

Seven years in the fairy's island
Gazing the seas and the stars
Oblivion rivers and skies of sorrow
Makes him to dream of the past


12. BEWARE OF THE NIGHT

And when the dark night falls
I gaze up at the sky
I pray to the mighty
The mighty Gods of the light
Athena, show mercy
Have mercy for my poor soul
And when the day comes alive
Send me back to Ithaca shores

The Goddess hears his plea
And with the first light of the sun
Like beggar makes his disguise
With rags she dresses him up
No one can tell who he is
Not even Evmeos, his loyal friend
And when the time will come
He plans on taking revenge

Beware of the night
Beware of the stars
The curse is now broken
The king will be back
And 'till night falls
The claimants should (be) killed
The crowd shall hail the return of the king
Give me a sign
Beware of the night

Who is this stranger
Who claims to be the king of the land
I can't believe that it happens
Like God he seems in my eyes
Oh hear me my Father
I was a child since you left our land
I thank all the Gods now
The time for revenge has now come

Beware of the night
Beware of the stars
The curse is now broken
The king will be back
And 'till night falls
The claimants should (be) killed
The crowd shall hail the return of the king
Give me a sign
Beware of the night

Beware of the night
Beware of the stars
The curse is now broken
The king will be back
And 'till night falls
The claimants should (be) killed
The crowd shall hail the return of the king

Beware of the night
Beware of the stars
The curse is now broken
The king will be back
And 'till night falls
The claimants should (be) killed
The crowd shall hail the return of the king
Give me a sign
Beware of the night


13. WHO WILL DARE TO BEND THE BOW

Queen announced she has decided
The old bow to be her guide
He who dares to have the pride

Who will be strong enough?
To be master of the land?

Old and proud standing there
Only kings hands should dare
Precious gift, sign of war

Wisdom Goddess, give your sign
The old bow to be my guide

Who will dare to bend the bow?
Shining axes stand in row
Contest starts, who will be Lord?
Who will dare to bend the bow?

One by one the claimants dare
For the ragged dressed no one cared
Reign of fear begins to appear

'Cause our strength is not enough
Bow and sting can not be won

The old beggar makes a wish
Just to see if he could reach
The strength and power of his youth

Bow and string became one
He is the master of the land

Who will dare to bend the bow?
Shining axes stand in row
Contest starts, who will be Lord?
Who will dare to bend the bow?

Who will dare to bend the bow?
Who will dare to bend the bow?
Who will dare to bend the bow?
Who will dare to bend the bow?


14. THE RETURN OF THE KING

Father and son into battle
Like eagles in the air they fight
Side by side standing so proud
For justice and their kingdom they kill

Master (Master) of all masters (Master)
He seeks for revenge
A King (King) he is, see him (Of the land)
How proud he fights

Beware the sky
Is raining blood
Beware the sea
Is crimson dressed
Beware the wind
Is blowing fast
Beware the king
The king is back

Glory for the kings return
The last act of the tragedy
The lament is now over
The king is forever back

Master (Master) of all masters (Master)
He seeks for revenge
A King (King) he is, see Him (Of the land)
How proud he fights

Beware the sky
Is raining blood
Beware the sea
Is crimson dressed
Beware the wind
Is blowing fast
Beware the king
The king is back

Master (Master) of all masters (Master)
He seeks for revenge
A King (King) he is, see Him (Of the land)
How proud he fights

Beware the sky
Is raining blood
Beware the sea
Is crimson dressed
Beware the wind
Is blowing fast
Beware the king
The king is back
