01. Origin

(Instrumental)

02. A New Empire's Birth

From the tallest mountain he watches
The serpent, the saviour, the eater of men
He who thrives on dead flesh

The phantom king hungrily awaits
The march of fallen souls
Rise from the ruins of your gods

Who will be guided by his song?
Who can prove where they belong?

I fear, certain death
From the ruins of pride, I am reborn
I'll search through every stone,
On every top I will climb
When I am there, the bells of triumph will chime

Clearing your view from a courtain of mist
Ruling the people with iron fist
Judge me not for those that had to fall

Cold benighted wastelands
Abandoned by the living
Cold, unforgiving
The fallen land reveales it's night

Symbols of gods sculped into the mountains
I'm the life of this land, the law is my command
Of your fallen and failed creations
The end of an era, a new empires birth

Descending comes the ones of old
Down from the skies like long time told
The fallen land reveales it's night

Before the eyes of the people
A king falls to the earth
Shimmering steel ends an era
A new empires birth

03. Against The Gods

I bear the curse that hunt the minds of men
The hunger for power, the crave for respect
I will lead, lead you against the gods
I will make you see - your destiny

Come to me, come minions sworn to obey
As you give you shall recieve
Bow your heads and praise the fire
As you burn for me

Gods hear me, hear my thunder rise
I will destroy your reign of lies
Gods betrayed me, betrayed me before my eyes
I call the source of your demise

Commence the search for existence
Stand true to what you denied
Come, feel, seek and realize
The true power of hell

How could I ever walk this far
This deep on this unbearable path
I'd never think I could endure
Not even to see the end of it
The reward was divinity,
But the price maybe too high?
Is this really worth staying alive for?

You ungrateful worm, your destiny was not to be king
Who are you to question our judgement, our will?

04. The Rising Sign

My fury is the earth the shivers
Carved through stone by the rivers
The fire that burn in me never stops

Evolve and reveal the ultimate truth ot the rising sign
I act with vigor transforming the future probing into the abyss

The heart of the cosmos will create my lament
Fire, burn me cleanse my soul in your embrace

"We challenge you to unravel our mystery"

05. Warmonger

Gather your leaders, this will be the last
The end of it all for all of us
If we do not stand together
We will be a memory of the past

The sands of time tells me the end is near
Our only hope to live is brutal warfare

Come join me
Raise your swords in rage
March with me
And fight this battle engaged

The path ahead lies clear
I can sense the horror, but do not fear
You will look back on the day of the attack
Prepare for glory, prepare for war

"I give you the opportunity of two choices,
Wait for damnation
Or be the damnation yourselves
Attack and provoke attacks,
Carve out your life's calling
In the world as a matriarch
And never surrender!"

Open fire, hold the line and charge forward!
Spears and flesh collide, the ground red of blood,
From my sword, my triumph

06. Escape The Union

War consumes us, makes us who we are
We march the path of the ancient star
She will guide us, throughout these toilsome times
From her stellar light we shine

The might and my intensions are pure
It's just the betrails that feed my hate
The path is fare, but the result is obscure
But in the end...

Escape the union, ignite your inner flame
Invoke the power of your own name
We feel no pain but the sting of scorn
We must die to be reborn

My blackhearted fate
Is ready for me to take

I was born as a son of darkness
A bastard of my kingdom, my world, my gods
They betrayed me, had me for a fool
No longer shall I bow to you
I am free!

07. The Mark Of Power

Adorn the face of your son
Through the third eye I saw
The battle left to be won

This pure face ornamented
With long and pale red scars
Everlasting under the golden stars

The time has come
For you, my son
To bear the mark of power

Gods, hear me know

I will revive the serpents throne
Gods, hear my cries
The throne is mine to rule alone

See this our providence,
Your breed and your blood
The everlasting stand
Through (the) devouring flood

It's time for one
To become
Heir to the throne of fire

I care not if you hate me
As long as you will fear me
I rise monuments as
The victor's fortune
And as display of your fallen
And failed creation
For what I have undone
I stand here as the peerless son

"You helped to put the sword in my hand
We have climbed this mountain together
And I stand on your shields at the top
Your spears - my fortification
Your enemies are mine
But I speak the words of the gods
And I can summon the thunder"

The time has come
For the one
Ro bear the mark of power

08. Kolossus

Feel the fire, the fury of my hate
To rule alone I must elevate
You can't resist me, open the gates

Your world's corrupted, tales full of lies
Oceans of souls, rivers of blood

My kingdom built with flames
I'm the life of this land

Through fire to ash, from pain I arise
A conquerer of worlds rise from the mud

"When the moon reflects the ancestral past
A coalitiom of captains
Gathers for a blood offering
The visionaries experience a pulsating mystery
Forced on account ot the oath
The sign becomes the focalizer
As they interpret the symbols
With insight and confidence"

"Truth seekers, your death cannot help me
You're in violation of divine commandments"
Behold the ruler of the burning kingdom!

Heretics, disloyality is treason
Vultures, you have no place here
Infidels, none of you are worthy

My kingdom built with flames
I'm the life of this land
Your darkness runs through me
As the law is my command

09. Ascendant

My name is equal to that of destruction
My kingdom is built on
(The ruins of) holy demise
The gods are brought down
By the hand of a mortal
My name will spawn legends
I ascend to the skies

Through time and space
We travel dimensions for eternity
We walk the path of the ancients
And leave mortality
