Stormlord Far 1. Leviathan Voice of thunder roaring From the heart of Efesto's throne, A chant of marvelous destruction Gleams over the horizon, The flames, Like a crown made of burning tongues, Reflecting on the sea A Leviathan, As a king it reigns for million years Gate to Tartaros Looming over rich and poor, The Leviathan Lu munti di li munti é mungibeddu La cima tocca lu celu stillatu. E quantu spinci supra lu liveddu. Tantu scinni sutt'acqua smisuratu Inside the abyss, The fearsome sight of a living hell: Brimstone and smoke, A legion of dreadful shapes The Leviathan. Gate to Tartaros Voice of thunder calling From the forge of the lightning bolts. A cage for Aeolus and Tifon Anvil of the Cyclops Resounds to the stroke of the hammer blow As rumbles shake the coast Under its eye the people spend all their lives: They see the light, they perish Under its eye empires crumble to dust. The rulers rise and fall, and then rise, and then fall again A Leviathan Gate to Tartaros The Leviathan 2. Mediterranea Hear, the voices once silenced come back to life Eternity and death in the morning light. Dancing as one Lost in a dream, a spell named Hesperia. Lovers of Bacchus and soldiers of Mars Will dance as one tonight Mediterranea Land of the ancients, A Latin pearl with arcane flares Land of the ancient gods Where the past lives on Countless battles were fought on these seven hills, From bones of the fallen an eagle rose, Fearless and bold Holm oaks and pines were the tombs of the fathers, Hidden legacy in the shades of trees Jupiter and Juno are watching from above, Poseidon in the deep awaits Centuries of glory, Ruin and lore are buried under the soil And when the eyes we close, The flute of Pan will break the silence Tunes from a distant era Whisper to the heart and soul Listen close, listen to them, Unforgotten they are From the sea - from the fields Spirits of yore - arise We are calling forth Mediterranea Were immortal our essence will forever rest Land of the ancients, A Latin pearl with arcane flares Land of the ancient gods, We belong to you. Eternally 3. Far We are fire, we are wind, Thousand nights and countless mornings, we keep inside Endless are the seas we navigate, Born to roam the Earth, to be free ...and the wind will blow our golden sails, At least for the moment New horizons, we're heading for, Tomorrow is a mistress we can't betray Every step we take we're getting close To the outset of a new start The dice begins to roll again, In the blink of an eye we set sail to nowhere May the gods bless our journey But no curse could be strong enough to stop this crew Ride through peace and war, Leave behind every high, every low As the distance hides another chance, A drifter in a moment will hit the road One last time, we take a look back To the new dawn rising Like feathers in the breeze, stillness we know not Like feathers Like feathers to no place we belong Like a father, the midnight sky, Watching over our slumber, a shelter will give Every foreign land under the stars Is a dwelling to our eyes Born to roam forever by the light of a million suns ...and the world is like an ocean we shall sail on Far! 4. Sherden Without fear we sail: a curse or a desire, who can tell? The vastness of the ocean is calling once again Deep down inside this lonely heart we keep the island, Home of the brave, where pale rocks meets the sea Like raging waves we strike, out of the mist, As the moon shines on the open waters Nuragic breed, The sound of our name brings terror to the coast Soldiers of fortune with no mercy and souls of black From blood red fields of dust to eastern bounds, From the great Sphinx in the land of Egypt to Israel Under a stranger sky a thousand miles we walked Born for the struggle we bend the knee to no one People of the sea, A brotherhood of bronze and salt Dreadful war, by your side we all live and die Glory bound, onward we march! Screams! As the twisted dance of destruction and pain we join Praise! Behold the glory of these warriors, fighting 'till the end Hail the Sherden, Raise the spears, Laugh into the face of death! Fight or fall! We sail on In the final hour spare us your rites The only prayer we will need Is made of leather and bronze: The sword shall guide the spirit through the dark 5. Crimson The church of wrath is open wide, Cathedral built on sacrifice, Wicked altar for a chalice of blood Blade on blade, scar on scar, Ecstasy that lays beyond the threshold Through the haze of this pain Feel it rise - free the beast from within Feel it rise -I'm lost in crimson shadows Arise - from the turmoil and the rage Feel it rise - I'm lost in crimson shadows In a violent storm of the body and mind, Scarlet is my existence, A gloomy stage where no life dwells As estranged, so awake, Rush of pure adrenaline is pumping Through the haze of this pain, feel it rise Wild and loose, I set my soul free as I go berserk Wild and loose, I taste the joy of devastation A mantra of violence and lust At the edge of reason like the seven trumpets of doom Will resound through mayhem Chills run down my brain stem, Is ti hell or paradise? Feel it rise - free the beast from within Feel it rise - I'm lost in crimson shadows Arise - from the turmoil and the rage Feel it rise - Im lost in crimson shadows 6. Cimmeria I remember the dark woods, masking slopes of sombre hills, The grey clouds' leaden everlasting arch, The dusky streams that flowed without a sound, And the lone winds that whispered down the passes Cimmeria, land of darkness and deep night, It was so long ago and far away, Cimmeria It was a gloomy land that seemed to hold All winds and clouds and dreams that sun the sun, With bare boughs rattling in the lonesome winds, And the dark woodlands brooding over all Cimmeria, land of darkness and deep night, Cimmeria Oh soul of mine, born out of shadowed hills, To clouds and winds and ghosts that shun the sun, How many deaths shall to break at last This heritage which wraps me in the grey Apparel of ghosts? I search my heart and find Cimmeria, Land of darkness and the night It was so long ago and far away I have forgotten the very name men called me, I recall only the stillness of that sombre land, The clouds that piled forever on the hills, The dimness of the everlasting woods, Cimmeria, land of darkness and the night 7. Invictus One by one, Like ruins from the past, Eternal icons will fall by my hand, Tonight the crown I claim To cross the dark gates of Catharsis, To spill the blood divine, I live, as the only unquestioned king Born on the battlefield, son of the sword, Baptized in blood, The clash of steel against steel To rock my cradle The names of yesterday's gods, Soon they will be gone and forgotten Like dust in the winds forever One by one, Ruins from the past, Eternal icons will fall by my hand, Tonight the crown I claim To cross the dark gates of Catharsis, To spill the blood divine, I live, to bring a new age I am the prophet of chaos, Watch me rise, unbroken, Invictus The crownless again shall be king A storm in the distance, a light in the black, From the ashes a fire shall be woken One by one, Like ruins from the past, Eternal icons will fall by my hand, Tonight the crown I claim Watch me rise! Memento. nec aspera terrent Sic itur ad astra. invictus One by one Like ruins from the past Eternal icons will fall by my hand Invictus 8. Romulus Son of Mars, The ancient blood of Troy runs through my veins, No one shall cross my path On wings of fate the vultures fly, On winds of doom, they soar For I am Romulus I am the guardian of the walls, This land is my kingdom, Where eternity will lay tied in chains My own flesh I'm facing while memories flood back, Two brothers left in the cold But when I look into your eyes Now, all that I see it's just a stranger's face Destiny calls. A bride will mourn tonight Twins, From he river to the cave, By the wolf-mother we have been raised What blood has joined together Ambition shall divide, Let it be done Fallen tears, burning hatred, They whisper your name Shades of black on the horizon When I raise the killing hand For I am Romulus The guardian of the wall, This land is my kingdom, Where eternity will lay in chains On wings of fate the vultures fly, now Victory or death, I let the gods decide Seven are my thrones, Eternity has chosen the once and future king 9. Vacuna Somewhere in the silence of the sacred mountain vault, A cradle of megatithic rocks Was giving protection and fortune To the warriors whose name was Samnites Every man was keeping her blessing in the heart, The goddess that no word will spoke She's the silent watcher, The one who brings victory Divine and pure, shine into the darkness, she is A floating sanctuary was built in the middle of a lake To celebrate her glory on this Earth, Through rites made of iron and bleedings, A redemption to be found in death Sacrifice Divine and pure, Eternal light and never to be dimmed In the wheatfields, the harvest, the rain, In nature she lives O tacita madre invocata dai sabini: Odi il richiamo che si eleva dalle rive del remoto specchio d'acqua a te sacro Volgi l'austero sguardo oltre le messl sii guida per i nostri occhi ciechi Hail the goddess Vacuna, through the ages she rules May all the ice-cold streams of Cutiliae wash the sins away She was, she is and she will be forevermore And the valleys shall echo her name Still the mortals shall sing her fame Ed i primogeniti vagheranno nella primavera sacra Il lupo. il picchio. il toro mostreranno loro il cammino E li condurranno da questo santuario sino alla terra che ella ha promesso 10. Levante By the light of the northern star Lost among the blue void of the sea In this blood red sunset still I dream Sailing ships across the ocean wide Where the night kills the day Clouds already closing in upon them I left the cross so far behind I am searching for glory, not for faith A whisper to which I am deaf Glory, not faith Absolution for my pride I shall not find Foolish man who dares To reach east by sailing west On this hidden path I will always walk alone Distant skies I'm yearning for To the unknown I belong Hopes still growing strong inside Everlasting is the voyager As a church, this bleak sand My religion worships the coming world I left the cross so far behind I am searching for glory, not for faith A whisper to which I am deaf Glory, not faith Amen
