1. Prelude To The Sorrow

[Instrumental]

[Music by Vlad Invictus; lyrics by Robert E. Howard]

“Barbarism is the natural state of mankind.
Civilisation is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance.
And barbarism must always ultimately triumph.”

2. A Prophet's Tale

[Music by Vlad Invictus & Goran Garčević; lyrics by Vlad Invictus]

My eyes have seen the birth of the thousand suns
A world of pain and fear, a world of lies
In my heart I’ve found the strength to carry on
In my mind I’ve seen the end, it has begun

Touched by the light of the angels
I’m flying on wings of a dream

Never will I see the dawn of man
Never will I breathe the wind again
In silence cast in stone I’ll always be
Forever in eternity

The sound of doomsday bell is ringing to me
A melody of madness that I know too well
In my soul I bare the neverending pain
In my mind I pray not to see this anymore

I’m chosen to witness this day
When none shall be the same again

Never will I see the dawn of man
Never will I breathe the wind again
In silence cast in stone I’ll always be
Forever in eternity

3. Prince Of Immortals

[Music by Vlad Invictus & Goran Garčević; lyrics by Vlad Invictus]

Hear the call of desperate heart
How I long for your breath
It’s the tale of the dying soul, of love
Love stronger than death

All of my life I waited for
A part was missing in my being
The sign of mistery appeared
On the sails of agony

Then I saw myself in your eyes
From the past I know your pain
The gift of blood I’m offering to you
Take my innocence away

Sin of my life
My endless dream
We are as one
Eternally

Now I fear the hour has come
When truth will break my wings
The parting words of love are all I hear
May the heaven bring you peace

Sin of my life
My endless dream
We are as one
Eternally

4. Crying Stars

[Instrumental]

[Music by Vlad Invictus]

5. Distant Worlds

[Music & lyrics by Vlad Invictus]

I can’t feel your hand on my skin anymore
This night is cold and so lonely
It’s neverending pain

I’m looking through the mirror
I’m searching for your face
My mind is getting clearer
I know you’re gone forever

Crying in the darkness, sorrow’s overwhealming me
There is no voice to guide me, I feel that I am lost

We live in distant worlds
We live in distant worlds

If love could speak in words
it would whisper your name
I’m not 21 anymore, this world has locked for me its doors

I know that I have hurt you
It’s the only way to hurt myself
I’m sorry for my existence
I wish I had never been born at all

Wherever you may go, my heart will always be there
I realized too late what you mean to me

We live in distant worlds
We live in distant worlds

You’ll never hear about me, you won’t remember my name
but I’ll be waiting for you until the end of my days

We live in distant worlds
We live in distant worlds

6. Taste The Steel

[Music by Vlad Invictus & Goran Garčević; lyrics by Vlad Invictus]

From the sky I see the light
Messenger of mystic signs
Down below druids of stone
gathered in circle
Time has come to open your eyes
And see the things I can’t describe
The day of wrath, the end of all days
when darkness prevails

Born from the lake of emerald fire
Elven sword forged in the light

By the sword and by the oath
of blood of our master
I am the one who wields it so brave
the keeper of this holy ground
Swear to keep and protect these realms
from the evil entities
I take the sword and sink it in lake
to unbound its power

Oh, fire’s burning the edges of steel
quench the blade with this holy blood

Taste the steel
Born in fire
Power unleashed
from magical sword
Taste the steel
burn in fire
Die in your hell
from which you were born

By the light of the moon
By the power of night
I will ride with my steel
Into glorious fight
I will answer my call
I’ll be damned if I fall
I’ll give freedom again
To this beautiful land

So come mighty warrior
and fulfill your fate
Deliver the people
from anguish and hate
I’ll grant thee thy wings
The destiny’s eyes
the shield of creation
and this ring of light

Taste the steel
Born in fire
Power unleashed
from magical sword
Taste the steel
burn in fire
Die in your hell
from which you were born

7. Beyond The Wall Of Sleep

[Music & lyrics by Vlad Invictus]

In the depths of silence my consciousness is lying
As the fear opens its door and watching at its prey

In the place where all things are
not what they seem to be
The horror lies between these walls
In darkness it’s conceived

I search for myself
I scream out in sleep
Shadows hide their secrets
buried somewhere deep

The sands of time are running fast I feel
The hour’s near to face the unknown
Beyond the wall of sleep

I hear the song in dream, as it calls them to the feast
The expectations were to low, forsaken souls begin their hunt

A single sigh of madness
fulfils my destiny
Darkness now covers my sight
All I hear is my own scream

I search for myself
I scream out in sleep
Shadows hide their secrets
buried somewhere deep

The sands of time are running fast I feel
The hour’s near to face the unknown
Beyond the wall of sleep

8. Bard Of Destiny

[Music by Vlad Invictus & Goran Garčević; lyrics by Nikola Ðurđević & Vlad Invictus]

[Part I: The First Dawn of Sorrow]

Take my hand and follow me
I’ll show you a better place
Let me build a wall around your mind
Let me fill your heart with blocks of ice

Inhale the earth from my grave and you will know the truth
Let me close your eyes, not to see the lies
Promised land awaits you on the other side

[Part II: The Dawn of Ice]

In these halls of snow
there is no comfort from the pain
I know the one you’re seeking
is still so far from here

Is this your world of illusion?
To run from the reality
you must know now
that it is time for you to sleep

Fallen child dreams of peace
afraid of light, blinded by dark

Holy child dreams no more
Deceived by light, embrace the dark

[Part III: The Return to the Dawn of Light]

Surrender yourself to me and conquer the world within
Fill your soul with hope, crush the fear inside

Faith in me will save you from the evil in this world
Now you watch with my eyes and you feel no shame
Day will come for you, when you will realize
Sorrow remains in the past, forever with your dreams

9. The Triumph

[Music by Vlad Invictus & Goran Garčević; lyrics by Vlad Invictus]

Sons of darkness, crawl on your knees
Feed my sword with blood upon this field
I’m the master I’m the son of steel
Ignite my flames and power you shall feel

I destroy all in my way
Stand against me you will pay

High in the sky where the sun never goes
My tower will rise high above

Lord of the sky, I embrace thee
Lord of the wind, free my soul
Armies of dark, hear my last words
In the end death comes for us all

Pledge your shield of honor, bow to me
Kiss of cold steel ends this prophecy
Now in fire watch your homeland burns
Release your hatred from your heart that yearns

Blood my eyes and let me die
Vengeance will be my last cry

Your courage is great but no mercy I’ll give
I’ll be fool to let you live

Lord of the sky, I embrace thee
Lord of the wind, free my soul
Armies of dark, hear my last words
In the end death comes for us all

I now face my death but I shall stand proud
Gods of fate, where are you now?

Lord of the sky, I embrace thee
Lord of the wind, free my soul
Armies of dark, hear my last words
In the end death comes for us all
