Arise, arise, oh mighty warrior Mankind will need a champion At war with the Olympians Theomachy, war of the Gods Release the tyrant Titan lord God of gods Cronus All the temples set ablaze Olympus to be razed This is the age! (This is the age!) All the temples set ablaze Beckoning the end of days This is the age! (This is the age!) Of man! Holy mountain torn asunder A new age dawns, Olympus falls No faith, no fear, no sacrifices The age of Gods is no more All the temples set ablaze Olympus to be razed This is the age! (This is the age!) All the temples set ablaze Beckoning the end of days This is the age! (This is the age!) Of man!

Helena 04:12
Daughter of Zeus, princess of Sparta Her beauty unsurpassed, a testament of grace Menelaus' prize, his kingdom once her home Where her story just begins She brought a war to Troy In her name they will destroy Led the armies to their shore She is the Trojan whore The wall, will fall! The fate of Troy in her hands The wall, will fall! The wall, will fall! The fate of Troy in her hands The wall, will fall! Bringer of War, deserter of Sparta She left her life behind, sailed far across the sea Now in Troy she lives, with Paris by her side True love, or so it seems One hundred forty thousand Greeks come in pursuit As Agamemnon leads them to the Trojan walls Many heroes fought and died during the siege Ten long years of war [AGAMEMNON]: Fellow Greeks, I command you to fulfill your oath! The Trojan whore must die! Betrayer of Troy, betrayer of Sparta Open wide the gates, and let the soldiers in She brought a war to Troy In her name they will destroy Led the armies to their shore She is the Trojan whore The wall, will fall! The fate of Troy in her hands The wall, will fall! The wall, will fall! The fate of Troy in her hands The wall, will fall! The wall, will fall! The fate of Troy in her hands The wall, will fall! The wall, will fall! The fate of Troy in her hands The wall, will fall!

Immortal 03:59
A vision of unworthy sacrifice Forgotten prodigy here he lies Alone and unlamented fade away Defaced and scorned in trivial portray The vision fades, the hero takes his leave Those fickle Gods, he could not believe Bereft of glory, immortality This broken image what may come to be [FATE]: He will face his end alone The hero stands there, gazing at the sky Torn from within, lets out a silent cry His fate reforged, darkness to guide his path He swore not to die an empty death [FATE]: The blood red sky comes closing in [FATE]: The quest for power will begin [FATE]: A life of evil, a life of sin [FATE]: Let out the hate that lies within I am immortal! I am the bane of man! I am eternal! I am the plague on this world! I am immortal [FATE]: Your name is scorned I am eternal [FATE]: You'll not be mourned A mere shadow of his glory past Depraved and mad he cut down to the last Countless souls before his defeat Until a true hero rose up to meet As his rage and anger are all but spent For all his power, he could not prevent No one can escape their destiny Tartarus claims for all eternity [FATE]: And now, the circle is complete! I am immortal! I am the bane of man! I am eternal! I am the plague on this world!

Pray to Zeus, lord of the sky Hera too, to seek advice We put our faith in the gods above Poseidon guard our ships at sea Hades guide the dead to peace Heal us Apollo, god of light They do not care, it’s all in vain In war we trust in Ares’ might We have Athena on our side Still our prayers go un-answered Demeter, give life’s greatest needs A fruitful hunt, Artemis deeds Hephaestus craftsman of the gods Why do we pray, why do we try Cast down the gods Time to break the chains Welcome to the age of men Enslaved no longer, we ascend All of our lives we've lived in fear By laws not made by us It's time we take back what we've lost Our fate our own again Before our fathers and sons Tear down the temples As Mount Olympus falls Our fate our own again Our own! Our own! Cast down the gods Time to break the chains Welcome to the age of men Enslaved no longer, we ascend

Elysium 03:24
As you feel the end draw near Do not struggle, do not fear For I will be your guide Come with me tonight As you face the end you chose And your last breath fades, now close For one last time your eyes Enter paradise Come, Charon, take us There, on the blessed isles of light Our eternal paradise Until the end of time Elysium Now take my hand and follow me Through the mists then you will see Across the river Styx it lies Enter paradise Come, Charon, take us To Hades, the afterlife There, on the blessed isles of light Our eternal paradise Until the end of time Elysium There, on the blessed isles of light Our eternal paradise Until the end of time Elysium

Woken in the midst of night Trapped in a place devoid of light Left nor right, there's no escape The son of Minos seals their fate Hear the footsteps drawing near A distant sound becoming clear In this maze, embrace the fear The curse of Minos, death is here The minotaur awaits Welcome to the labyrinth Look behind, walls creeping in Hard to breathe, the air is thin Impending anguish and pain Here chaos and evil reign Walk the path of no return With every twist and every turn Let go of all that you hold dear The curse of Minos, death is here The seventh year of sacrifice The minotaur awaits Two times seven children die Welcome to the labyrinth Betrayed Poseidon, feel his wrath Born from the bull, Asterion Hidden deep within these halls The ruler of the labyrinth The seventh year of sacrifice The minotaur awaits Two times seven children die Welcome to the labyrinth

As the fog of war subsides Paint the day in different light Leave the pain of loss behind Fade into the night The morrow comes with no respite It brings no reason to this plight Condemned to suffer unjust blight Salvation out of sight Forsaken by the gods up high Witness countless soldiers die For freedom sounds their battlecry But the end is nigh For justice, for freedom, die! For your home, for your land, die for your king! For your people, for your brothers, die for the gods! Few survivors to be found Blood red skies mirror the ground In silence dying cries resound A scream without a sound Another day the fight goes on A battle lost, a battle won Tomorrow’s grim, all hope is gone The war has just begun On the brave men march once more Reminded of the oaths they swore Ares leads them to the fore Obey the god of war The dawn of war, the wake of slaughter The dawn of war, lamented mourning The dawn of war unites, resounding battlecries The dawn of war, by Ares might My brothers! Many have died this day, but we must persevere! Through pain and suffering, we must endure! We must stand tall in the face of our enemies! Never retreat! Never surrender! For justice, for freedom, die! For your home, for your land, die for your king! For your people, for your brothers, die for the gods! The dawn of war, the wake of slaughter The dawn of war, lamented mourning The dawn of war unites, resounding battlecries The dawn of war, by Ares might The dawn of war, the wake of slaughter The dawn of war, lamented mourning The dawn of war unites, resounding battlecries The god of war, leads us to the light

Titanomachy 04:26
There is no tomorrow There’s no yesterday There’s no hope, no glory There’s no rest, no peace There is no surrender There’s no victory The son of Kronos, overthrow Titanomachy [ZEUS]: Your tyrant reign will end [KRONOS]: The heavens bow to me! [ZEUS]: Cast down to Tartarus [KRONOS]: I cannot be contained! The morrows destiny (To war!) Foreboding lunacy (To war!) Ordained catastrophe (To war!) This titanomachy There is no future There’s no history The gods and titans waging war Titanomachy The morrows destiny (To war!) Foreboding lunacy (To war!) Ordained catastrophe (To war!) This titanomachy The morrows destiny (To war!) Foreboding lunacy (To war!) Ordained catastrophe (To war!) This titanomachy The morrows destiny Foreboding lunacy Ordained catastrophe This titanomachy To war!

Endless miles of desert sand For us the war is soon to end One final task There’s no way back Out of the black a force appears We’re caught off guard a wall of spears Nowhere to turn they’re all around We’re simple prey on their hunting ground A Persian horde, their promise kept Who kills their prince will pay the debt They solely want our general But give no inch it's Spartan law Now we know why they’re here So gather round, our goal is clear We must protect We will defend I have succumbed, so many blades The wound is deep, life quickly fades I cry out loud, my men assailed I was to lead yet I have failed No more, No more, No more, it’s over! I see my life before my eyes It’s written in… Not worth to remember me by It’s written in sand I see my life before my eyes It’s written in… Not worth to remember me by It’s written in sand No more, No more, No more... Now it’s written in sand!

Glory Awaits 04:37
A bolt of lightning cracks the sky Clouds are gathered overhead You feel a chill across your back And you know you're gonna die The screams and cries of dying men Hurling spears into the fray Dodge another foe's attack Pray to the Gods up high The hour's close at hand! Here we stand, unite! We will rise, tonight! A flash of pain, a glint of steel The smell of blood in the cold night air Turn around, see your brothers fall You feel the rage within Charge into the nearest foe Cut them down, left and right Take the lead, sound the charge For glory or for death This is your final stand! Here we stand, unite! We will rise, tonight! Men, tonight we make our stand Together as one From this field to the top of Olympus Show the Gods what we’re made of Follow me, and together we will make history Glory awaits! Here we stand, unite! (Unite!) We will rise, tonight! (Tonight!) Here we stand, unite (Unite!) We will rise, tonight (Tonight!)

The gates of Hades open wide, through which the soldiers march Wandering through the mist, ready to be judged They're welcomed to Elysium, the islands of the blessed They all died a hero's death, and now are laid to rest Reunite with brothers lost, kings of ages past Eternity in Hades spent, they found their final resting place at last Come all, lament. Lay claim their soul Exhale a final breath, and pay the toll Prepared to die, by Spartan law Tonight we dine, in hell! Prepare for glory! Prepare for glory! Prepare for glory! Prepare for glory! Prepare for glory! Prepare for glory! Prepare for death! Come all, lament. Lay claim their soul Exhale a final breath, and pay the toll Come all, lament. Lay claim their soul Exhale a final breath, and pay the toll Prepare for glory! Prepare for glory! Prepare for glory! Prepare for death!

[EURYDICE]: Where am I? I feel so cold It’s like my heart stopped beating [HADES]: Eurydice stumbles Eurydice falls Into the realm of Hades The prison of souls [EURYDICE]: Come for me Get me out I want your arms to hold me [EURYDICE]: Take me away, far from this hell! [HADES]: The poison bite, the fading light The path may wind, never look behind [EURYDICE]: Where are you? What is the time? It seems that you’ve forgotten me [HADES]: No longer alone A light in the dark Released from this place Released from this hell [EURYDICE]: Come for me Get me now I want your love to heal me [EURYDICE]: Take me away, far from this hell! [HADES]: The poison bite, the fading light The path may wind, never look behind [EURYDICE]: Come for me Get me now You can’t just leave me screaming Come for me! [EURYDICE]: Oh gods, what have I done to deserve this? I will face death, but he can’t live without me by his side Cruelty rules, if real love is created just to destroy it I’m begging you, bring me back! [HADES]: The poison bite, the fading light The path may wind, never look behind Orpheus plight, the end in sight Doubt in mind, never look behind [EURYDICE]: Come for me Get me now You can’t just leave me screaming Come for me!
