Out on the silent battlefield,
When the killing work is done and the crimson haze is gone, Still lies the deadly sword I wield And I'm dreaming of your face, have begun to count the days But I fear to face a dreadful fate I am afraid to lose the one I cherish No sun is shining in the sky On wings of madness we will fly We can't cross the distance Away from reason No sun is shining in your eyes A shadow growing in disguise I can't stand the silence Embracing you at night Here in the corners of my mind Is a constant, longing scream, like an echo of a dream Oh, there is always peace to find In a drop of blood that shines while a lonesome creature whines Can I save you from a dreadful fate, I am afraid to lose the one I cherish I see you dancing with your demons 02. The Art Of War Music & lyrics by Serenity
Ad gladios, Signa Inferre
Ad gladios, Vae Victis Ad gladios, Gloria Mundi Ad gladios, Vae Victis A statesman's heart must be placed in his head I can remember all the days of violence I can remember all the days they fought for rights When men united all by fear and interest I mastered them with hopeful promises I've broken Almighty giver of all life, Sun you're my god, open my eyes, I have to conquer; I am made to serve that aim Do as I command, You'll never stop a dreamer Imagination rules the world And I saw it grand Fight at my side, You'll never taste the failure Courage is key - let me teach you so, The Art Of War I do not want a bench covered with velvet, I do not want a crown unless power goes with it Religion I would use to serve ambition Glory is fleeting, the obscure is forever I have to conquer, no matter the pain, no matter the harm I command for greater tomorrow, Power is my reward. Raise your head, fate will guide you now and forever 03. Shining Oasis Music & lyrics by Serenity
Unknown lands, their call ever strong
Then, my chance to set out for where I belong Left my home and crossed the sea, dropped my old identity, Found another way to live my life Learned their language and their rites but had this dream in many nights The one about the day when I return again I will tell them of marvels my eyes have seen Grandest of places where I've ever been Shining oasis, dream made of stone My fate led me there where desert winds moan Sunlight's glance is enchanting the place Colours dance on walls hewn in far ancient days Rose red city in the sand, true myth from an Eastern land I am standing breathless, without words Temples under deep blue skies unknown to European eyes, Centuries they had slept here in desert's heart In these lands illusions can fool you In merciless light they glitter Ancient wonders did reveal, the place I found is real History will know my name 04. For Freedom's Sake Music & lyrics by Serenity
To my love,
The end has come I'm sorry I'm not going home Pain is gone but all I feel Is the last blood in my veins to slowly running cold Day after day, I fought so hard Hoping to meet you once again Orders obeyed, for a sacred aim Do I need honor... am I left to die? Don't lose your smile, Love makes all good survive You were my sunshine all the way Don't close your eyes, A new world is to rise Forgive the wrongs we've done For Freedom's Sake Please my love, Survive this day, I beg your heart to find a way I shall be strong but I can't hide: I don't know how to live without you by my side I believed our war was right But what a horrid waste reveals the light Giving up the guns could change the game Let's save the world from useless waves of pain With dreams you dared to have now to live Believe my heart Though fate tore us apart You were my angel all the way Believe in men To bring hate to an end And never kill again For Freedom's Sake 05. Age Of Glory Music & lyrics by Serenity
Never thought I could kill a man
Raging for respect - new king - noble hearted Still there's more I am longing for Eastern world at war - conquest - invasion So shall it be Prepare for fight at break of dawn I seek for blood Power of an union Fade away Close teary eyes End of my life So we rise and fall The empire's vast It will not last - The Great Age Of Glory No remorse and no sympathy For the Persian crowd The kingdom will fall Babylon - it will rise today Now the eye of the world Dark times are close The edge of time Approaching without mercy On a humble man I'm falling into sleep So desperate to leave Your soul full of crimes There's no way to believe What you came to take - I will not cry Hands of the gods, they will take care Of you and your men Relief in the east - a new kingdom reborn A new world has come My heart is at stake - for what is torn apart 06. The Matricide Music & lyrics by Serenity
I can't stand a word from you,
I feel the darkness, You keep sneaking into private affairs I guess what I have to do, For my own defense, I must get my mother's voice Reduced to silence What an Irony I witness, Those not to trust: my family, can be the worst Watch your back and the water in your wine, senators, By the blade or the poison you will die, betrayers! Don't forget that this empire is mine, The Matricide to show: treason makes me pity no one I show no remorse to Rome, Weakness is a sin, They shall never doubt my power to grow When the walls no longer hide Their conspiracy, I find nothing else to say "Dead men tell no tales" You cannot hide your secrets They turn into fear, you should better run away Suspicion made your weary heart Confuse the truth with the lies Blinded by hatred from the start You led your fate to your demise 07. Symphony For The Quiet Music & lyrics by Serenity
My notes in the void,
Symphony For The Quiet Music is fading, my sanity with it Muted is life When I open the window, I can't catch a sound, can they hear me? Twilight in my heart, When all noises die with sorrow But I still can hear the piano in my mind I play for my soul Harmonies of the past Chase all the shadows away At my dismay No major chord can last When choirs of fate deafen me I sense a distance, Am I too far away? Silence is closing all the lips on my way But I still can feel the piano on the ground 08. Tannenberg Music & lyrics by Serenity
Mid of July, the summer breeze
Carries scents of blood along Those times we fear, To lose a dream, to lose a nation Our strategy, a master plan, Slowly writing history A genius trap coming their way, Fate will not let us down today I don't defeat an enemy, I defend what I believe is right My role in this war is to bring To my country a glory to taste Tannenberg, where they lost the game Surrounding their men We let them no chance Tannenberg, luck was on our side, That they never change their mind Tannenberg, when I chose that name I remember the knights Who fell in the past Shall this victory lighten their memory Everywhere, all the same Together as one, in the fronting line Men are ready for the fight I know they fear, To lose their dreams, to lose their reason Falling around, one by one, Victims of fate will soon abound. But rules are clear as they see They can only survive by killing They don't defeat an enemy, They obey orders we have given, You soldiers of fortune know We owe you the glory we taste Here I stand Watching the line There they stand, together Fall with pride On both sides Men are a band of brothers But counting the deads is somehow Changing the glory to waste Tannenberg, if I had done wrong, I wouldn't live too long... a regret so strong 09. Legacy Of Tudors Music & lyrics by Serenity
Pastime with good company
I love and shall until I die Grudge who lust, but none deny, So God be pleased, thus live will I For my pastance, hunt, sing and dance, My heart is set! All goodly sport, for my comfort, Who shall me let? - Henry VIII In a world of constant cruelty Art and pleasure comfort all my senses Game of thrones leading humanity To lose the meaning of its existence Love thyself last: love those hearts that hate thee Corruption does not win more than honesty When music plays its melody Dancing made with majesty Raise your stein of golden wine We drink in the name of glory But times are hard and men fall dead If they betray off comes their head Rejoice from bitter taste of crime Legacy Of Tudors At the age of obscure ignorance Education is a precious gift When faith is preaching intolerance A righteous life becomes so hard to live Learn to know and to deceive minds of foes A man of true heart shall never fear woes 10. Royal Pain Music & lyrics by Serenity
If so royal is my name
A blessing in disguise No more suffering - no pain - these days Waiting for my own golden crown I can't feel a difference This low life ends without a tear Don't say goodbye All I longed for feels like nothing Of any meaning in my life When the night falls My graceful heart shows What it tried to hide from you Fears of breakdown, safe appearance And I will never lose my faith I'll rise even higher No more count in this cold land - they're gone Austrian empire they named - this reign of men Bloodline will stay alive - my heir I'm leaving someday No reason to turn down this emotion of misery I belong to a historic reign My legacy will be recalled By all the people in this world I live on All I wanted feels like nothing of worth 11. Fairytales Music & lyrics by Serenity
Here I stand now alone to die
The empty space, no word from you I cry After all still loving you Can't stop feeling this way Sadness is a friend now Dry my tears away I'm not the man I used to be, I can't laugh anymore My mind is dark, my blood is cold and lonely I will go I don't believe in fairytales After you anymore See you standing with another man I feel like never before I don't believe in fairytales Try to stop the dark fall Fade away with an empty soul The darkness I will call Please forgive what I've done to you All my words so hard to say, I'm blue Tried to find another way than losing the best man But love is incalculable when there's no time to wait I'm not the man I used to be, I can't laugh anymore My mind is dark, my blood is cold and lonely I will go I don't believe in fairytales After you anymore See you standing with another man I feel like never before I don't believe in fairytales Try to stop the dark fall Fade away with an empty soul The darkness I will call 12. Love Of My Life Music & lyrics by Serenity
Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart, And now you leave me. Love of my life, can't you see? Bring it back bring it back, Don't take it away from me, Because you don't know What it means to me. Love of my life don't leave me, You've stolen my love, And now desert me, Love of my life, can't you see? Bring it back, bring it back, Don't take it away from me, Because you don't know What it means to me. You will remember When this is blown over, And everything's all by the way, When I grow older, I will be there at your side, To remind you how I still love you I still love you Hurry back, hurry back, don't take it away from me Because you don't know What it means to me Love of my life Love of my life |
