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
