|
After the battle is over |
|
And the sands drunken the blood |
|
All what there remains |
|
Is the bitterness of delusion |
|
The immortality of the gods |
|
Sits at their side |
|
As they leave the walls behind |
|
To reach the jewels gleam |
|
The days have come |
|
When the steel will rule |
|
And upon his head |
|
A crown of gold |
|
Your hand wields the might |
|
The tyrant's the precursor |
|
You carry the will |
|
As the morning is near |
|
I sing the ballads |
|
Of victory and defeat |
|
I hear the tales |
|
Of frozen mystery |
|
The new kingdoms rise / |
|
By the circle of the tyrants |
|
In the land of darkness / |
|
The warrior, that was me |
|
Grotesque glory / |
|
None will ever see them fall |
|
And hunts and war / |
|
Are like everlasting shadows |
|
Where the winds cannot reach / |
|
The tyrant's might was born |
|
And often |
|
I look back / |
|
With tears in my eyes |
|
Grotesque glory / |
|
None will ever see them fall |
|
And hunts and wars / |
|
Are like everlasting shadows |
