1. THE AGE OF MAN

Arise arise oh mighty warrior
Menkind will need a champion
At war with the Olympians
Theomachy war of the gods

Release the tyrant
Titan lord
God of gods
Cronus

All the temples set ablaze
Olympus to be razed
This is the age! (This is the age)

All the temples set ablaze
Bekoning the end of days
This is the age! (This is the age)
Of men

Holy mountain torn asunder
A new age dawns, Olympus falls
No faith, no fear, no sacrifices
The age of gods is no more

All the temples set ablaze
Olympus to be razed
This is the age! (This is the age)

All the temples set ablaze
Bekoning the end of days
This is the age! (This is the age)
Of men


2. HELENA

Daughter of Zeus, princess of Sparta
Her beauty unsurpassed, a testament of grace
Menelaus' prize, his kingdom once her home
Where her story just begins

She brought a war on Troy
In her name they will destroy
Led the armies to their shore
She is the Trojan whore

The wall, will fall!
The fate in of Troy her hands
The wall, will fall! The wall, will fall!
The wall, will fall!

Bringer of war, deserter of Sparta
She left her life behind, sailed far across the sea
Now in Troy she lives, with Paris by her side
True love, or so it seems

One hundred forty thousand Greek come in pursuit
As Agamemnon leads them to the Trojan walls
So many heroes fought and died during the siege
Ten long years of war

[Agamemnon]: Fellow Greeks
I command you to fulfill your oath!
The Trojan whore must die!

Betrayer of Troy, betrayer of Sparta
Open wide the gates, and let the soldiers in

She brought a war on Troy
In her name they will destroy
Led the armies to their shore
She is the Trojan whore

The wall, will fall!
The fate in of Troy her hands
The wall, will fall! The wall, will fall!
The wall, will fall!


3. IMMORTAL

A vision of unworthy sacrifice.
Forgotten prodigy here he lies.
Alone and unlamented fade away.
Defaced and scorned in trivial portray.

The vision fades, the hero takes his leave.
Those fickle Gods, he could not believe
Bereft of glory, immortality
This broken image what may come to be

[Fate] He will face his end alone.

The hero stands there, gazing at the sky
Torn from within, lets out a silent cry
His fate reforged, darkness to guide his path
He swore not to die an empty death

[Fate] As the blood red sky comes closing in
[Fate] The quest for power will begin
[Fate] A life of evil, a life of sin
[Fate] Let out the hate that lies within

I am immortal
I am the bane of man
I am eternal
I am the plague on this world

I am immortal
[Fate] Your name is scorned
I am eternal
[Fate] You'll not be mourned

A mere shadow of his glory past
Depraved and mad he cut down to the last
Countless souls before his defeat
Until a true hero rose up to meet

As his rage and anger are all but spent
For all his power, he could not prevent
No one can escape their destiny
Tartarus claim him for all eternity

[Fate] And now, the circle is complete

I am immortal
I am the bane of man
I am eternal
I am the plague on this world


4. BREAKING THE CHAINS OF OLYMPUS

Pray to Zeus, lord of the sky
Hera too, to seek her advice
We put our faith in the gods above

Poseidon guard our ships at sea
Hades guide the dead to peace
Heal us Apollo, god of light
They do not care, it's all in vain

In war we trust in Ares' might
We have Athena on our side
Still our prayers go un answered

Demeter, give life's greatest needs
A fruitful hunt, Artemis deeds
Hephaestus craftsman of the gods
Why do we pray, why do we try

Cast down the gods
Time to break the chains
Welcome to the age of men
Enslaved no longer, we ascend

All of our lives we've lived in fear
By laws not made by us
It's time we take back what we've lost
Our fate our own again
Before our fathers and sons
Tear down the temples
As mount Olympus falls
Our fate our own again
Our own!
Our own!

Cast down the gods
Time to break the chains
Welcome to the age of men
Enslaved no longer, we ascend


5. ELYSIUM

As you feel the end draw near
Do not struggle, do not fear
For I will be your guide
Come with me tonight

As you face the end you chose
And your last breath fades, now close
For one last time your eyes
Enter paradise

Come, Charon, take us

There, on the blessed isles of light
Our eternal paradise
Until the end of time
Our Elysium

Now take my hand and follow me
Through the mists then you will see
Across the river Styx it lies
Enter paradise

Come, Charon, take us
To Hades, the afterlife

There, on the blessed isles of light
Our eternal paradise
Until the end of time
Our Elysium

There, on the blessed isles of light
Our eternal paradise
Until the end of time
Our Elysium


6. THE LABYRINTH

Woken in the midst of night
Trapped in a place devoid of light
Left nor right, there's no escape
The son of Minos seals their fate

Hear the footsteps drawing near
A distant sound becoming clear
In the maze, embrace the fear
The curse of Minos, death is here

The Minotaur awaits
Welcome to the labyrinth

Look behind, walls creeping in
Hard to breathe, the air is thin
Impending anguish and pain
Here chaos and evil reign

Walk the path of no return
With every twist and every turn
Let go of all that you hold dear
The curse of Minos, death is here

The seventh year of sacrifice
The Minotaur awaits
Two times seven children die
Welcome to the labyrinth

Betrayed Poseidon, feel his wrath
Born from the bull, Asterion
Hidden deep within these halls
The ruler of the labyrinth

The seventh year of sacrifice
The Minotaur awaits
Two times seven children die
Welcome to the labyrinth


7. AT THE DAWN OF WAR

As the fog of war subsides
Paint the day in different light
Leave the pain of loss behind
Fade into the night

The morrow comes with no respite
It brings no reason to this plight
Condemned to suffer unjust blight
Salvation out of sight

Forsaken by the gods up high
Witness countless soldiers die
For freedom sounds their battlecry
But the end is nigh

For justice, for freedom, die!
For your home, for your land
Die for your king!
For your people, for your brothers
Die for the gods!

Few survivors to be found
Blood red skies mirror the ground
In silence dying cries resound
A scream without a sound

Another day the fight goes on
A battle lost, a battle won
Tomorrows grim, all hope is gone
The war has just begun

On the brave men march once more
Reminded of the oaths they swore
Ares leads them to the fore
Obey the god of war

The dawn of war, the wake of slaughter
The dawn of war, lamented mourning
The dawn of war unites, resounding battlecries
The dawn of war, by Ares might

My brothers!
Many have died this day, but we must persevere!
Through pain and suffering, we must endure!
We must stand tall in the face of our enemies!
Never retreat! Never surrender!

For justice, for freedom, die!
For your home, for your land
Die for your king!
For your people, for your brothers
Die for the gods!

The dawn of war, the wake of slaughter
The dawn of war, lamented mourning
The dawn of war unites, resounding battlecries
The dawn of war, by Ares might

The dawn of war, the wake of slaughter
The dawn of war, lamented mourning
The dawn of war unites, resounding battlecries
The god of war, leads us to the light


8. TITANOMACHY

There is no tomorrow
There's no yesterday
There's no hope, no glory
There's no rest, no peace

There is no surrender
There's no victory
The son of Cronus, overthrow
Titanomachy

[Zeus] Your tyrant reign will end
[Cronus] The heavens bow to me
[Zeus] Cast down to Tartarus
[Cronus] I cannot be contained

The morrows destiny (To war!)
Foreboding lunacy (To war!)
Ordained catastrophe (To war!)
This titanomachy

There is no future
There's no history
The gods and titans waging war
Titanomachy

The morrows destiny (To war!)
Foreboding lunacy (To war!)
Ordained catastrophe (To war!)
This titanomachy

The morrows destiny (To war!)
Foreboding lunacy (To war!)
Ordained catastrophe (To war!)
This titanomachy

The morrows destiny
Foreboding lunacy
Ordained catastrophe
This titanomachy


9. WRITTEN IN SAND

Endless miles of desert sand
For us the war is soon to end
One final task
There's no way back

Out of the black a force appears
We're caught off guard a wall of spears
Nowhere to turn they're all around
We're simple prey on their hunting ground

A Persian horde, their promise kept
Who gills their prince will pay the debt
They solely want our general
But give no inch it's Spartan law

Now we know why they're here
So gather round, our goal is clear
We must protect
We will defend

I have succumbed, so many blades
The wound is deep, life quickly fades
I cry out loud, my men assailed
I was to lead yet I have failed

No more, no more. No more, it's over

I see my life before my eyes
It's written in...
Not worth to remember me by
It's written in sand

I see my life before my eyes
It's written in...
Not worth to remember me by
It's written in sand

No more, no more, no more...
Now it's written in sand!


10. GLORY AWAITS

A bolt of lightning cracks the sky
Dark clouds gather overhead
You feel a chill across your back
And you know you're gonna die

The screams and cries of dying men
Hurling spears into the fray
Dodge another foe's attack
Pray to the Gods up high

The hour's close at hand

Here we stand, unite
We will rise, tonight

A flash of pain, a glint of steel
The smell of blood in the cold night air
Turn around, see your brothers fall
You feel the rage within

Charge into the nearest foe
Cut them down, left and right
Take the lead, sound the charge
For glory or for death

This is your final stand

Here we stand, unite
We will rise, tonight

Men, tonight we make our stand together as one
From this field to the top of Olympus
Show the Gods what we're made of
Follow me, and together we will make history
Glory awaits!

Here we stand, unite
We will rise, tonight
Here we stand, unite
We will rise, tonight


11. A BEAUTIFUL DEATH

The gates of Hades open wide
Through which the soldiers march
Wandering through the mist
Ready to be judged

They're welcomed to Elysium
The island of the blessed
They all died a hero's death
And now are laid to rest

Reunite with brothers lost, kings of ages past
Eternity in Hades spent, they found their final resting place at last

Come all, lament, lay claim their soul
Exhale a final breath, and pay the toll

Prepared to die, by Spartan law
Tonight we dine, in hell

Prepare for glory! Prepare for glory!
Prepare for glory! Prepare for glory!
Prepare for glory! Prepare for glory!
Prepare for death!

Come all, lament, lay claim their soul
Exhale a final breath, and pay the toll

Come all, lament, lay claim their soul
Exhale a final breath, and pay the toll

Prepare for glory! Prepare for glory!
Prepare for glory! Prepare for death!


12. EARYDICE'S SONG

[Eurydice]: Where am I? I feel so cold
It's like my heart stopped beating

[Hades]: Eurydice stumbles, Eurydice falls
Into the realm of Hades, the prison of souls

[Eurydice]: Come for me, get me out
I want your arms to hold me

[Eurydice]: Take me away, far from this hell!

[Hades]: The poison bite, the fading light
The path may wind, never look behind

[Eurydice]: Where are you? What is the time?
It seems that you've forgotten me

[Hades]: No longer alone, a light in the dark
Released from this place, released from this hell

[Eurydice]: Come for me, get me now
I want your love to heal me

[Eurydice]: Take me away, far from this hell

[Hades]: The poison bite, the fading light
The path may wind, never look behind

[Eurydice]: Come for me, get me now
You can't just leave me screaming, come for me!

[Eurydice]: Oh gods, what have I done to deserve this?
I will face death, but he can't live without me by his side
Cruelty rules, if real love is created just do destroy it
I'm begging you, bring me back!

[Hades]: The poison bite, the fading light
The path may wind, never look behind
Orphius plight, the end of sight
Doubt in mind, never look behind

[Eurydice]: Come for me, get me now
You can't just leave me screaming, come for me!


13. SON OF SPARTA

From birth till death, we live for the kill
No moment's rest, war is our creed
Brothers unite, bound by this fate
To fight and die, together as one!

As soldiers stand, we will not yield
Our phalanx strong, our spears always sharp
By Spartan law, we take our vows
To fight and die, together as one!

We stand as one!
All of the same blood, proud sons of Sparta
We die as one!
Unite in spirit, proud sons of Sparta

From birth till death
No moment's rest
Brothers unite
To fight and die

We stand as one!
All of the same blood, proud sons of Sparta
We die as one!
Unite in spirit, proud sons of Sparta

From the moment we are born
Our life is shaped by actions
Our own, and those of others
And throughout our days we are constantly tested
But they who keep true to themselves will always prevail

Be the best that you can be!
And strive to inspire others!
Master your own destiny!
This is the Spartan law!

We stand as one!
All of the same blood, proud sons of Sparta
We die as one!
Unite in spirit, proud sons of Sparta
