Ilium
Album • 2003
The fight is over now, both are dead Which way will I turn? Polynices, Eteocles my friends Both in blood we're bound Fought for the Polis, take it for their own But now death's seeds are sown What is happening to the system? Is this really Dikaios? Where is my free will? Family or Polis - who can tell? Creon the Polis supports Polynices As he fought for the state But I cannot bury only one Fear miasma my fate Creon sees Eteocles a traitor Turning on his state What is happening to the system? Is this really Dikaios? Where is my free will? Family or Polis - who can tell? My life of pain has taught me this That no one reign ensures you bliss Be true to me 'cause I'm the one Not the state who can bring me undone Creon has now lost his family Haemon, Eurydice Creon's tragedy is now overt Now he sees his guilt Oedipus my father of the curse Has led us all to death

Salamander's fire Immune - the flames burn higher The dream will never tire Fuelled by its own desire Hear the voices of the netherworld call your spirit Death is to mock and life is to fear The abstract wonders of old your mind wil soon inherit The dim fog of Stys tells your soul is near Reality is now imagination Destiny is yours to decide Authority lies trapped in crystal cages Your enemy locked out - you're mystified Material world full of merciless hate Sense of wonder is lost - forced back to Hell's dark gates Dissipate the seeds - the magic is weak But it can be reclaimed by those who set out to seek A spiritual journey - is Heaven so near? Once we've pushed through the smog everything is so crystal clear Deathis to mock and life to fear Immortality yours - you are your future's engineer No going back - a willing prisoner Cerebral attack - your mind alive The forgotten track - a path you shall enter Find your own way Dull pains of Earth - are left behind now Non-currency worth - your mind the key Eacg grain of dirt - a magic goldmine Do it your way Join the other race No prejudice is your mind A plane that has no place To the soul that is so blind Embrace the myth - what have you to lose? Your sanity is there to amuse See the world in different views Embrace your myth - it's the path you must choose

Greed - a need from within Pain - fuelled by a weakness Network - built from agression Power - false security A nation - built out of fear All freedom - is non-existent Genocide - root out all non-believers This is an empire Expansion - an aggregat of earth and water Influence - woven into civil slaughter Despot - a cruel, chaotic order Psytocracy - a psychomatic regime Mogul - a manipulative maraduder Devinity - destiny within a doctrine Propulsion in order to survive Lack of rescources - too inefficient to survive Uprising, the subjugated now revive Revolution - the restrained are now resurrected
Time is the healer Space great concealer Life makes you wonder Struck down by thunder And as you feel your body rot You're alive and then you're not An eerie presence digests your soul You're in Purgatory's hold Sound is a blur Sight been deferred Nothing left to view Desease has captured you You're alive and then you're not An eerie presence digests your soul You're in Purgatory's hold You're alive and then you're not An eerie presence digests your soul You're in Purgatory's hold Power leaks your brain What was your birth to gain? Asphyxiate your breath It's brought you to your death And as you feel your body rot You're alive and then you're not An eerie presence digests your soul You're in Purgatory's hold You're in Purgatory's hold You're in Purgatory's hold Your shackled soul has now been sold

Cursed and branded Toxins composing my thoughts Mutating my conscience Destroyng my soul I've no more defences They have no remorse My screams are within now Those screams are ignored And as I hide away Outcast and alone My tears have all dried up I'm empty within The beat of my heart Tormenting my mind My body a tomb For an endless well of sorrow "I am but a semblance" The sun, it shines so bright Yet its power is lost unto me The light, it leaves me dazed Still the darkness cuts at my soul I lay drained of all will The dead - they are tormenting me Whispers enticing me To their dark sanctuary They tug me at my soul They say there's no hope for me Help me, save me Resuscitate me To fight mortality I need you to be there Help me, save me Understand me Compassion is the key To save me from despair I'm no more a semblance I shall rise above I'm no more a semblance Now I've found your love

In a world of eternal dreams A time where bravery engulfed morality Beowulf, under the Wielder of Glory The son of Edgetheow The servant of Hygelac Would become the Heorot of the Danes Grendel, man, monster, demon Tearing at will through the land A blood lusted orgy of man Hygelac must end this feast Beowulf our wielder of glory Son of Edgetheow The servant of Hygelac The Heorot of the Danes Beowulf sails with the warther Geats Saltwater whips at his face As he pictures this creature of evil Banished a kindred of Cain Beowulf our wielder of glory Son of Edgetheow The servant of Hygelac The Hoerot of the Danes The benches were cleared for Beowulf and Geats The stout-hearted warriors bore strenght in the feast The song of the poet rang strong in the Heorot The carousing of people singing of victories Rage inflamed, wreckage bent He ripped off the jaws of the hall His eyes lit like fire by night Fuelled by proponquity of pain Grendel reached out with unfreindly fingers Hygelac's brave kinsman tore through tendons Grendel found flesh and bone had failed him To Beowulf the glory of the fight was granted Beowulf our wielder of glory Son of Edgetheow The servant of Hygelac The Hoerot of the Danes Beowulf our wielder of glory Son of Edgetheow The servant of Hygelac The Hoerot of the Danes

Arise, it′s time The spectres rise again For heinous crimes They will have their revenge A morbid fate The hallowed ground is fed Asphyxiate Buried but they were not dead Eyes - lost in time Claw marks are ripped in velvet Far from divine An army raised from torment The graveyard's alive It′s the witching hour The old man must die And his soul set to fire Fool now you'll pay, oh Bonded by pain The spirits join as one A hideous wraith Melts the gravestones As one they seek the man The one who stole their lives They sense his fear Their hatred grows Hail the time of revenge Stricken blind The eye in his mind Brings terror tonight As he falls in his grave His body writhes His dark soul slides Into dark neverlife Exodus for freedom Spirits in flight Souls seeking heaven Give colour to the wind The evil man's last vision Ghosts of his victims His body dissolves His pain will last forever
