ARCHONTES LYRICS

1. Epigraph

[instrumental]

2. Under Bloody Sun

I see another day falling down with lies
I see Tomorrow - that's my bloody curse
I feel my rage again - the Bloody Sun will rise
So Joker cry out - you have lost!
Fire
In my soul
Spawns shadows
Erases my eyes
My Gift
Is stronger,
But madness
Is a terrible price

You've returned but understand me right
Fly away back home
So many years - why did you come here now
To rule or separate?

I don't know the words of love
I was born for might
The greatest power was given me by Gods
It's not my choice -
Just a roll of dice
So Joker cry out...
You're just a shadow
Darkness
In my soul
Scaring
And killing my mind
Tell me
My Master
Did you know?
Or were you so blind?

Under Bloody Sun
I lead you
The Time has come
Our way
Is so long
But never close your eyes in darkness
Try to see the light
We see the light
Misleading light

3. The Crown Of Spring

Hear these words, oh my good Lord
Do you remember good old times?
When the rust ate the swords
And the air sang with rhymes
Now the swords eat the flesh
And the air sings with cries
We have to fight for our land
And for the sun in our skies

We have the power of million hearts
Till death takes us apart
We are equal: slave and king
Bless'd by mighty Crown of Spring

4. Children's Crusade

Dedicated to Kurt Vonnegut
"You'll pretend you were men instead of babies, and you'll be played
in the movies by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne or some of those
other glamorous, war-loving, dirty old men. And war will look just
wonderful, so we'll have a lot more of them. And they'll be fought by
babies like the babies upstairs."
Kurt Vonnegut "Slaughterhouse - Five or The Children's Crusade"

Favourite toys turn people to trash
Don't know if I see tomorrow
Fire and lead devour my flesh
Wild fear drowns my sorrow

Fog of death eclipses the morning sun
Screams and cries - that's music of war
Rush for tomorrow try to live one more day
Or your body is taken home
... in a wooden box

Long time ago we had different way
You could decide what to die for
With a sword in your hand and your homeland to save
Man, not breakfast for shells

We see the morning sun
And we know that life is fun
We don't want
To die
We are tired
Of lies
We just want to live in peace
These "wars of deliverance"
Like a gold mine that never ends
We don't want
To fight
For somebody's
False pride
Treat us just - we're also people

Children's crusade...
Crusade...
I see through the clouds - a faint ray of hope
I know after storm sun will shine
And darkness will have to retreat
Dark...

5. ...In The Dark

Shadows
Lie on my past - I know...
Dreaming
My hope makes me so strong

Looking through my life forever
Lost in reality again
Winds of Dust
Blow away all souls
Leave me be, my Guarding Angel
Or reality'll come back

Understand my true life's
...In the Dark

Calling
Syringe thrown me from the skies
Freedom
My daydreams transcend your lies

Looking through my life forever
Lost in reality again
Winds of Dust
Blow away all souls
Leave me be, my Guarding Angel
Or reality'll come back

I close my eyes
And I welcome the dawn

It is my last chance to escape - I know...
But don't take it away from me
Heal my body and break my soul
Gods Of The White Walls
I'm far away - here my journey's over

6. Quest For Glory And Might

[instrumental]

7. Saga Of Eternity

I see stars up high
Shining ever so bright
Far away from home I look to the sky
Keeping the stars alive
Ways of darkness and light
Quest for glory and might
Never dies
Kept by the fire inside
Always walk through the land
My path never ends
I will know
When the time has come

I can see burning paradise
Will I live forever
Kingdom Come - not for me
Found the truth inside
I'm here they're far away
I will live forever
Kingdom Come - the price I pay
I am on my way

Saga of Eternity
Power rages on
Fire everlasting
Open the gate and hail the storm
Burning again, over and over again

So my story goes
I feel no remorse
Every day
Brings its own curse
There is people's way
They will run astray
Nothing lasts
Ashes fall into grave

But I want to escape from fate
Want to live forever
Kingdom Come - it's not too late
So open the gate
Rearrange the masterplan
Now and forever
Kingdom Come - I claim my own
Now immortal man

Saga of Eternity
Power drives me on
Hope everlasting
Have to be strong to carry on
Dreaming again, over and over again

Death is enemy
Fight on to be free
This is the ultimate mission for me
It's so easy to see
No need to define
What is wrong or right
Watching the sky, watching my life
I will set it right

Rearrange the masterplan
Now and forever
Kingdom Come - I claim my own
Now immortal man
I'm here they're far away
I will live forever
Kingdom Come - the price I pay
I am on my way

Saga of Eternity
Finally I have won
Life everlastng
Hail the power for time has come!
Scream it again, over and over again

No need to define
What is wrong or right
Watching the sky, watching my life
I will set it right
I see stars up high
Shining ever so bright
Far away from home I look to the sky
Keeping the stars alive

8. The Glory Anthem

Tomorrow is my destiny
Today is my cross
Yesterday is gone with the time
It's just a death in Dreamgard
And now I'm just an old Bard
Hands forgot fury of fight
But I know that changes are coming
Coz' I've got back my mind

I'll shake off the dust of time
And I'll raise my sword
It's time, come to my side
And swear to me the oath
And thousand banners unfold
The Heroes of Past will bring
And Legions of warriors
The glory anthem will sing

I was born in another land
Insane and dark is that place
I was born with armor and sword
And Death was my first teacher
I was taught to be a God
But I'm not Master of slaves
And I rebelled, but they shackled me
And took away my own face

But essence returned to me
I'm raising my sword
It's time, so I see
Hurry to swear the oath
And thousand...

I swear your memory won't die
It shall live forever
Your kids shall be proud of you
Come to me, ye free children of Earth
Hand by hand, steel by steel, together till the end
Fire's low, night's almost over
But ale still flows free
The song's still in the air
Look, sky's filling with blood
Look, look your best
Maybe this is your last sunrise

9. Don't Say Farewell, Say Goodbye

The battle is over
My soul will soon be free
So bring me some wine
And listen to me
Because my life was, oh, so long
This is the heart of the song
It's just a simple story
Sing and remember me
I was born in a village
My father didn't carry a sword
But my fate was different:
Darkness enshrined this world
I spent my life in a fight
Under pressure of my own pride
Women and songs, friends and wine
So I have lived, so I die
I feel closing darkness
I feel so cold
My time is over
So much blood, so little hope
But my life was, oh, so long
And I've longed to die with a song
Please women, don't cry
Don't say Farewell - say Goodbye.
Say Goodbye, baby.

10. Death's Not The End

In soft ground
Your body rests
But falseness of death
Won't lie to me
We'll meet again
Across the Rainbow
So it has been -
So it shall be

Your spirit's free of shackles of this world
Your memory still lives in our hearts
Goodbye my friend
You're far away now
And falseness of death
Is not for us

Beyond the skies
You rise from darkness
From dirt and lies
To the arms of gods
Goodbye, brave hero
Free of dishonor
And wait for us
In ancient lands

Our land is in blood
Our future is dark
But the day will come when Spring regains its Crown
And thousand voices sing along this Hymn

Goodbye our friend
It's not all over
And we believe:
Death's not the end
Death's not the end...
