1. Kingdom Of The Fearless (The Destruction Of Troy)

[ MUSIC & LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]

[AGAMEMNON:]
No Country, no Law, no Religion, no more
No God, no Light, no Power, this Night
Lord Priam you stand Horizons once Grand
I Slay, I Crush your Towers to Dust
Broken under Lash and Sword, on the Black Horizon Shine your Graves

KINGDOM OF THE FEARLESS-Kingdom of Gods
Light up the Sky, Light up the World as we run
KINGDOM OF THE FEARLESS-Kingdom of Gods
Light up the Sky, Burning the World as we run

Great Violence withstands the Blood commands
The Angel of Death, Black Wings caress
Your Kingdom of Lies, Immortal Youth dies
A Lion of Ruin, a Whirlwind of Doom
Broken under Lash and Sword, on this Dark Horizon Shine your Graves

KINGDOM OF THE FEARLESS-Kingdom of Gods
Light up the Sky, Light up the World as we run
KINGDOM OF THE FEARLESS-Kingdom of Gods
Light up the Sky, Burning the World as we

Ride down the Centuries into the Sun
Cursing the Dark, cursing the Light
Bronze wielding Sons of War, Fame Forged in Fear
I will be there, I will not cower
Flames of Violence soothe the Breast of Honour Burned
Into the Valley, into the Valley we cry again!!!

Die... to Kill... Your Daughter's now mine
Your?re Flesh for the worms
In Bondage you weep/my Hatred will never die
Cry... the Blood Burns Black... in Fury
I will Fear no Man, for I am a God!!!

No Country, no Law, no Religion, for sure!
No Life, no Faith, no Quarter, Death waits
Lost Season in Shame, your People in Chains
For Honour, for Zeus, for Xenia, for Truth
To the Underworld advance, or the Dark Ships waiting
Cry your last!

KINGDOM OF THE FEARLESS-Kingdom of Gods
Light up the Sky, Light up the World as we run
KINGDOM OF THE FEARLESS-KINGDOM OF GODS
Light up the Sky, Light up the World as we
Ride like Thunder down from the Plains
Over the Mountains Bronze Shield and Flame
None can withstand Hatred Un-Masked
In Blood shall pay!!!

I kill you all... die, by the Blood of the Gods
By the Blood on my Sword... you sleep in Hell
DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!!!!


2. Blaze Of Victory (The Watchman's Song)

[ MUSIC & LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]

[THE WATCHMAN:]
Blessed Gods, Cold Stars, release me from my long suffering
Anxious, Weary, my Mind wracked by Fears unnatural I Scan The Horizon
Watching, hoping for Signs of the Signal Fire
Great Gift of Prometheus, reward me with the news that Troy has
Finally Fallen!
It is She who commands me thus to remain upon this Palace roof
Watching, waiting... that willful, calculating Woman, who plots
And Schemes, like a King!!!

No sleep, no Dreams, only Fear descends upon my couch and Ravages
My Heart
Yes Sorrow and Fear for what's become of this House
Once so Great, now lost and cold, Hungry Spirits stalk these Halls
But still I'll keep my Faith and Pray for our release from all
This suffering...

Look there... at last... Conquest! Great Blaze of Triumph,
I Greet thee, I Honour thee most Welcome Visitor from the Depths
Of the Night
Rape the Sky like a Royal Sun, turn this Mournful Night into
Shining Day!

Awake Queen of Agamemnon, rise from thy sleep
Cry the Morning Song of Victory, for the Kingdom of Ilion has Fallen
The God of Fire proclaims it so
We'll reap this Harvest of Flame, give Thanks and Pay Tribute
To the Deities that made us...

Oh let it be so, let our Fleet return in Honour
Over Lord Poseidon?s Sea, safe from Wind and Storm
Let me stand before my King and Pledge him Sword and Life for his Glory

A Thorn grips my voice, no more from me now
Yet if this House could speak what a Tale it could tell
Of Savage Murder, Betrayal, Ravenous Feasting and a Daimon with an
Unquenchable thirst for Blood and Torn Flesh!!!
No, no more from me, let actions speak! AWAKE!!!


3. Through The Ring Of Fire

[ MUSIC & LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]

[KLYTEMNESTRA:]
Guardian of the Lies of Faith
Darker now this Tale of Hate
Look into the Eyes of Death
Buried in another's Flesh

[AGAMEMNON:]
Fate guide my Hand as I ride Hell's Wind
Hole in the Sky where the Blackest Spirits Rage

ELDERS, KLYTEMNESTRA,
[AGAMEMNON & ELEKTRA:]
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE-
THROUGH THE RING OF PAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE, I AM BORN AGAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE-
THROUGH THE RING OF PAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE, I AM BORN AGAIN

[KLYTEMNESTRA:]
Now you live and now you die
Across the Lake of Gorgon's Eyes
Crimson Blood, a Hero's Quest
Atone for Death with still more Death
Hate guides my Hand as I smile within
Hole in the Sky where the Blackest Spirits Rage

[ALL:]
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE-
THROUGH THE RING OF PAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE, I AM BORN AGAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE-
THROUGH THE RING OF PAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE, I AM BORN AGAIN

[ELDERS:]
Right's on the side of our Twin Thrones of War
Bold are the Crowns in their Hands
Bright are the Signs of the Godhead
Justice is found where the Proud Eagles Reign

[ELDERS:]
Blind Persuasion, crack the Holy Tearless Eyes
Will the True Kings return, Thunder greets you with a Sword

[ELEKTRA:]
Guardian of the Lies of Faith
Harken now this Tale of Hate
Noble Deeds were done this Day
Welcome home your King betrayed

[KLYTEMNESTRA:]
Fate guides my hand as I plunge this Blade
Hole in your Heart where the Blackest Furies Rage

[ALL:]
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE-
THROUGH THE RING OF PAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE, I AM BORN AGAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE-
THROUGH THE RING OF PAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE, I AM BORN AGAIN

[ELDERS & ELEKTRA:]
Hope is Rising with the Sound of our Glory
We will see where we lie

[ALL:]
AH, AH, AH, AH, AHA AH AH AH, ETC.


4. Return Of The King

[ MUSIC BY DAVID DEFEIS & EDWARD PURSINO ]
[ LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]

[ELDERS:]
Return of the Hero, our Conquering King
Agamemnon our Lord, you'll know here in time
If Fortune in War guarantees the will of the Crowd
All is not well there is Evil in your House tonight

[ELEKTRA & ELDERS:]
Beware thy Name, Black Stars Fall, Forces Rising, time you were gone

[ELDERS:]
The Conqueror of Troy wields the Power the Gods have designed
Shedding his Daughter?s Red Blood for one Wanton Bride
A Dowry of Death, Artemis waits by your side
Glory too high is a Dangerous Gift from the Gods

[ELEKTRA & ELDERS:]
Beware thy Queen, Black Stars fall, Voices Rising, time you were gone

[KLYTEMNESTRA & ELDERS:]
Lord of the Desert, we welcome him home
The Lion of Vengeance, the Death of Priam
Fire on the Wind, Fire in the Sky
Reaping Black Harvests of Blood, til the End of the Dawn

[ELEKTRA:]
Beware thy Queen, Black Stars fall, Force is Rising, time We were gone!

[ELDERS & ELEKTRA:]
Lord of the Desert, the Hour's at hand
The Black Cloak of Evil, the Net of the Damned
Fire on the Wind, Fire in the Sky
Raping the Heart of the Sun, til the End of the ... Dawn


5. Flames Of The Black Star (The Arrows Of Herakles)

[ MUSIC BY DAVID DEFEIS & EDWARD PURSINO * LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]

[AGAMEMNON:]
I return to the Land of my birth and I Thank the Gods Belief
With Golden Songs and Sacred Vows
Through Eons Forge the Millennium,
how the Spear Faction Blazed
I released the Titan's Pain at last
BY THE FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR!

On this Mountain peak where we live,
I resume my Rule decreed
By Zeus and Father handed down
The Victory now here is mine,
Judgements price for shameless theft
Exacted and Immortalized...
BY THE FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR
BY THE STRENGTH OF HERAKLES ARMS

[KLYTEMNESTRA:]
FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR Burn in Hades
FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR-Shine tonight
FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR-Kill with Fire
FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR-Shine...
to the Edge of the World

[ATHENA:]
The Hammer of Zeus splits the Sky, cracks the Dark in two
Is there one among you who can see the Truth
In the Distance Black Rivers flow
A Final Warning spoken from the Tomb
You live by the Violence and the Soul of the Sun
Time has no meaning when the Slaughters begun

[KLYTEMNESTRA:]
Rising up in Power, Rage is on my side
Brazen Gift of Ancient Madness
The Eyes of the World are fastened today
The Gods are not blind, they will be consoled
An Ocean of Grieving can never return
You're never forgiven, your Destiny's earned
The Darkness within is taking my hand
You're never forgiven, struck in the Eyes of the World
Binding your Soul to Hades, FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR!

[ATHENA:]
You live by the Violence and the Soul of the Sun
They'll be no Tomorrow when the End has Begun
The Eyes of the World are Bleeding Today
The Crimes of Tomorrow are born here in pain

[KLYTEMNESTRA:]
If Terror is scheming, your Freedom is Burned
You're never forgiven, your Destiny's earned

[ATHENA:]
The Edge of the World awaits, Silent and Proud are the Will
Sowing the Seeds of Violence

[KLYTEMNESTRA:]
FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR Burn in Hades
FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR-Shine tonight
FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR-Kill with Fire
FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR-Blind Blind Blind
FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR-Shine in my Soul
FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR-Shine in my Soul


6. And Hecate Smiled

[ MUSIC AND LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]

[ELDERS:]
Bride of Lawless lies sent Ten Thousand Men to Die
Prophecies un-met still cry
Cold we understand Blood and Fear still walk the Land
Looking for the Scars we hide from ourselves

I see the Fire spreading, I see the Towers Burn
I hear the Voices calling, I see the King's return
Did they Die for God and Glory, Drowned in Mist, cast from the Light
Trapped inside the Line of Fire, Vale of Tears, Passage of Shame
On this Day of Doom!


7. Child Of Desolation

[ MUSIC AND LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]

[KASSANDRA:]
Children forlorn, victims of the Daimon within
Oaths made in Violence, punishment in turn
There is no Light to guide me on my long and painful Road
I wait in Silence, I wait for Death with the last of this Day's Sun...

Broken Wings, Blood freed upon the air
A Trampled Marriage Bed
The Father sees, his Gods cry out, the Flesh spills down
And Judgement Kills the Crime

Gods of the Dead bring me my Life back again
I'm fallin', I'm callin'
Gods of the Dead don't let me die unavenged
I'm fallin', I'm callin'
I won't be here to see them Mourning... Enter the Night...

Emblems of Prophecy, I throw them all away
Drink the Fire of the Pitiless God...
When the Blood of Death has fallen, who can call it back
To the Form that it once held

Gods of the Dead bring me my Life back again
I'm fallin', I'm callin'
Gods of the Dead don't let me die unavenged
I'm fallin', I'm callin'
And the Dead will taste a deeper Treasure than Youth or Life

Bury me beside the Endless Sea, raise my Ashes to the Wind
Remember me when Falls another Life, Quench my Funeral Pyre with Wine ...


8. Great Sword Of Flame

[ MUSIC BY DAVID DEFEIS & EDWARD PURSINO ]
[ LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]


9. The Gift Of Tantalos

[ MUSIC AND LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]

[AGISTHOS:]
Father I've avenged thee and my brothers
See him there, his Blood runs Red in the bath
A TOKEN OF MY HATRED, your Feast of Flesh I have avenged
Thirteen children slain, vile, unholy Requiem
Blood from the Skies, the Solemn Rains of Hell
Murder, Divine Retribution, Justice for my Tribe
Black Sands of Time, stained forever
I rejoice at your Death... Now I'll be King...
Watch me take her as you die...


10. Iphigenia In Hades

[ MUSIC AND LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]

[KLYTEMNESTRA:]
One Child cries in the Depths of Hades
Baring her breast for her Father to see
There will be Love under the soil
One child cries to Eternity's Sky
Bound on the Altar the Winds Sacrifice
Merciless eyes, cruel faces smile

One child forced through the Dark Halls of Stone
Greeting her Father with Blood on her lips
Knowing he'll stay under the soil... Revenge
AHHH
And now this shall pass for my Judgement...


11. The Fire God

[ MUSIC BY DAVID DEFEIS and EDWARD PURSINO ]
[ LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]

[ELEKTRA:]
Cursed by the Priests, torn, twisted and beat
Sentenced to die, by the Sorceress-her Evil Eye
God of the Furnace, I call thy Name
Please deliver me from the Serpent, the Serpent of Pain

THE FIRE GOD, THE FIRE GOD
Burn all the Sinners in my way

Rise up devour-Inferno of Ultimate Power
God of Destruction-consume them with your Eruption
Inflame the Sorceress and the Priests of Evil who bind me
Singe them, Burn them, Destroy them
Please, please deliver me
With Holy Fire, the Golden Pyre... Death
THE FIRE GOD, THE FIRE GOD
Burn all the Sinners in my way

Kill, eradicate with Fire and Sword!
Flames of Vindication!
I impale thee on the Great Spike of Hatred
By the FLAMES OF THE BLACK STAR!!!

THE FIRE GOD, THE FIRE GOD
I call thy Name, consume my pain!
Burn all the Sinners Beyond Death... Beyond Death!!!


12. Garden Of Lamentation

[ MUSIC AND LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]

[ELEKTRA:]
Skies of War, Skies of Peace
Who will answer when you weep
I remember you like a child
You were fair in my arms
As I walked through the Flames of our Love

Solemn Night all is Grey
Who will answer, none will say
I recall every Phase of HER Hearts Living Blaze
I remember YOU like a child
You were fair in my arms...
As I walked through the Flames of our Love


13. Agony And Shame

[ MUSIC AND LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]

[AGISTHOS:]
I'm the King of Fire, I am Anger, I am Pain
I am Savage in my Fury, I'm the World beneath your feet
Fools revere your Master, thoughts of War you will disarm
I'm the Nightmare with the Aegis and I will not be denied

[ELDERS:]
Harpies of no Morals, hands awash in ravaged lives
Witness your Perdition as you writhe... in AGONY AND SHAME!

[AGISTHOS:]
Bursting from the sidelines, locked in firmly now
I am Power and Dominion and I will not be denied
Don't provoke this Quarrel, Thunder Roars inside
I will leave you to the Vultures stripped of all your sickly pride

[ELDERS:]
Tyrant of our Sorrow, coward towards the deed
(With your) Stolen bands of Courage, now Assault the Skies

[AGISTHOS:]
Don't tempt me!

[KLYTEMNESTRA:]
Gods of War, Gods of our Ancient Might
Give me Power to tame the Savage of the Blood
Gods of War, Gods of our Painful Fight
Give me Power to break the Savage of the Blood

[ELDERS:]
Father Zeus, Lord of the Stars that shine
Where's the answer that runs from above
Show me your Sign, what will I find
Eminence and Vision, Treasure, Balance, Pride...
OR AGONY AND SHAME!

[AGISTHOS:]
"FIGHT ME... I'll be avenged for this"

[KLYTEMNESTRA:]
Life alone or Life as One
Faith in Heaven is Faith in Hell
Prince of Fortune ride, sadness leave our eyes and shine
On all we've Won
I Trust you, I want you, I need you... til the End of Life...


14. Gate Of Kings

[ MUSIC AND LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS ]

[ELEKTRA:]
There's a Rainbow, cover it in Blood
There's no Light upon my door
There's a Cold Wind, Rising from the Sea
There is Death and nothing more...
But don't turn away with eyes of the blind
There's still Magick in your Soul
There is Magick still...

[ELEKTRA & ELDERS:]
Iron Walls and Chains surround us
Yet we are Proud and Free
Nothing Kills the Ties that Bind us
I'll meet you at the GATE OF KINGS!!!

[ORESTES "in phocis":]
There's a Silence tearing up the ground
Freezing Heart and Shield and Bone
In their grasp I see you as you lay
Broken, cold beneath their Rage
We won't turn away with eyes of the blind
There's still Magick in our Souls
There is Magick still...

[ALL:]
Iron Walls and Chains surround us
Yet We are Proud and Free
Nothing Kills the Ties that Bind Us
I'll meet you at the GATE OF KINGS... THE GATE OF KINGS...

[ALL:]
Iron Walls and Chains surround us
Yet We are Proud and Free
Nothing Kills the Ties that Bind Us
I'll meet you at the GATE OF KINGS
[Repeat]
