02. Nemesis, Pt. 2: The Game Of Gods

The beast arrives once more!
Art thou in benefit or loss?
This is the Eschaton once more!
O, mighty one, take my hand!

Many thousand years have passed me by
As i watch games of gods for men's lives,
They bet souls on souls!
Catastrophe awaits to flow down on sinful bodies of pitiful ones

The beast arrives once more!
Art thou in benefit or loss?
This is the Eschaton once more!
0, mighty one, take my hand!

I am thy Archnemesis!
And i take you as my redemption for all...

03. Enter My Dome

From now I see die downfall of the human race itself!
Come down my child, for I will show you the way to eternal hell!

Enter my dome and i will teach you how to sink
Into the darkness of mankind and its will.
Corrosion of earth is gaining endless gifts
Of humble lives and souls tormented and with no hope left.

Will thou see me through scales of lie?
Will thou feel sick in claws of death?

This is often getting on your feeble nerves,
Your irritating helplessness does serve the lord of sin.

From now I set the downfall of the human race itself!
Come down my child, for I will show you the way to eternal hell!

Enter my dome and i will teach you how to sink
Into the darkness of mankind and its will.
Corrosion of earth is gaining endless gifts
Of humble lives and souls tormented and with no hope left!

04. Ruins Of Belief

Endless lava streams,
Stars and skies
Bare the memories
Of ancient traditions forgotten by man!
The reason for bloodshed,
The reason for wars,
The times when sacred Vedas
Were brought to our hordes!

For two thousand years
Our people starved
Under the reign
Of priests of a new god.
O, Shiva!
Grant us the sound of thy name,
The will to crush poverty,
The strength to tear our chains!

Arise!

Let it be done,
Let it be done,
Let me be strong
To carry on!
Let it be done,
Let it be done,
Grant me with flame
To make me live!
Let it be done,
Let it be done,
Tell me a word
As to a son!
Let it be done,
Let it be done,
Let it be done!

When thy word is heard
Memories of elements return to man!

05. Oasis-Soul's Path

Harsh lines of endless sands I meet on my way,
On my way to the oasis I seek
Closed are my eyes in protection from the blight,
Feasting on the fallen beasts, vultures cry...

Heat of wind!
Fire of earth!
Ancient gods!
Cloak the...

Oasis!
From mortal sight...

Trying to pave the way to my eternal goal,
This pool of godly fluid, juice, granting life
There is no passage for retreat,
Too this journey was for going back...

Further went the line of my sight,
I saw a God in the sky.
My humble soul, tired in it's cage,
Was now willing lo leave!
From now I travelled without
The burden of flesh
For I was free in my thoughts and will,
I could now reach the end...

Life's harder than that,
Dream is like reality.

Heat of wind!
Fire of earth!
Ancient gods!
Cloak the...

Oasis!
From mortal sight...

The taste of the holy essence gives me immortal
Life, I had dreamt of from the beginning of
All. as said by the gods, this life is not for
Mortal beings, and they will feel the pain of
Disgrace!

07. Thunders Of Indra

O, king of demigods!
Raise a hand upon my head
We forever sacrificed
Our souls to you!

Your thunders penetrate the skies,
Cleansing the earth from filth and lies!

Shaking the unshakable,
You travel alone, crushing foes.
The skies, the earth, mountains and rocks
Stand still by your will, by your command!

Your thunders penetrate the skies,
Cleansing the earth from filth and lies!

O, king of demigods!
Raise a hand upon my head
Let me get a second of paradise!
Let me get your blessings for aeons!

Your thunders penetrate the skies,
Cleansing the earth from filth and lies!

Bless my name!
Bless my faith!
Bless my flame!
Bless my hate!
Bless the light
Of my soul!
All this blight
Away you throw!
Bless the earth!
Bless the soil!
Bless the waves!
Bless my grave!
Bless the fire
In my heart!
For thy blessings
I'll tear myself apart!

Your thunders penetrate the skies,
Cleansing the earth from filth and lies!

08. The Battle Begins, Pt. 1: The War Of One Blood

When kingdoms
Hold might never seen before,
When being so powerful,
When their lands cover half of the world,
When kingdoms hold temples
And monuments that reach the sky
Even brothers can fall into jealousy,
Can make a brother die!

The monolithic Pandavan empire
Never ever tore apart
For its men were forever
Bond by divinity and blood.

But once blood fails!
Former brothers turn into foes.
Dhuryodana's legions willed to claim
Their part of the world!

The choice was made!
Never could the empire be divided.
Not even Krishna could make
The Pandavas surrender.
The war of one blood began!

When kingdoms
Hold might never seen before,
When being so powerful,
When their lands cover half of the world,
When kingdoms hold temples
And monuments that reach the sky
Even brothers can fall into jealousy,
Can make a brother die!

09. The Battle Begins, Pt. 2: Arjuna

Arjuna:
O,Lord!. Stop my chariot
Between the two armies until i behold
Those who stand with me, eager for battle
And with whom i must engage
In this act of war!

Narrator:
Riding his chariot
Between two vast armies,
Arjuna saw his brothers
And comrades on the opponent's side!

Arjuna:
Seeing my kinsmen,
Standing with the desire to fight,
My limbs fail and my mouth becomes dry,
The bow slips from my hand
And my skin instantly burns!

I don't wish to battle with my own blood
I'm not ready to commit a great sin
By striving to slay our brothers because of greed,
For the pleasure of the kingdom.

The Supreme Lord:
Do not become a coward, Arjuna!
It does not befit you!
Shake off this weakness of your heart
And get up for battle!

You grief for those who are not worthy of grief
And yet speak the words of wisdom!
The wise grief neither for the living
And not for the dead.
If you will not fight this righteous war
Then you will fail in your duties,
Lose your reputation and incur sin!

Arjuna:
By your grace my delusion is destroyed!
I have gaint knowledge,
My confusion is dispelled
I shall obey your command...
I shall battle!

10. Worship The Savior

In vain are all efforts
Of judging the will of the mighty saviour!
Corrosion of earth is cloaked by words.
Today I see You At his feet,
Frustrate you never will The Almighty One!

"Worship the savior!"
"Worship the savior!"
Or die in inhuman pain
Or feel the wrath of Ra

Lost in a stream of godlike creatures,
Serving and lauding for eternal peace.
Today I see You At his feet,
Frustrate you never will The Almighty One!

From the Nile i hear too many prophesies to learn
About retribution of the Mighty One
"Feel the wrath of Ra!"
"We are to pray eternal!"
"Here comes the world damnation!"
"This is the end!"

For Gods you are a slave,
One from a tribe of slaves!
For freedom you can pray,
Only no need - you will get none!
Today I see You at his feet,
Frustrate you never will The Almighty One!

"Worship the savior!"
"Worship the savior!"

11. Unleash Thy Spirit

I spit out the venom
Brought to me by life.
I denied my sacrifice,
I didn't let myself to
Arise!

I spit out the venom
Brought to me by a demonic curse!
Destroyed is my life,
I didn't let myself to arise!
Too many injuries I have,
To many bleeding wounds,
Lying on the ground
I leave you my words...

Choking, we are unable to breathe,
The darkest angels cry upon us.
Too natural to be a dream!
My life is drained...

Unleash thy spirit!
Unleash thy spirit!
Let it fall into
The abyss of time.
Unleash thy spirit!
Unleash thy spirit!
Make a gift for the heavens -
Your soul divine!
Unleash thy spirit!
Unleash thy spirit!
It is too fragile
For your flesh...
Unleash thy spirit,
Let it fly,
Before you leave life,
Before you die!

I spit out the venom
Brought to me by life.
I denied my sacrifice,
I didn't let myself to
Arise!

Unleash thy spirit!
Unleash thy spirit!
Let it fall into
The abyss of time.
Unleash thy spirit!
Unleash thy spirit!
Mike a gift for the heavens -
Your soul divine!
Unleash thy spirit!
Unleash thy spirit!
It is too fragile
for your flesh...
Unleash thy spirit,
Let it fly,
Before you leave life,
Before you die!
