IMPERIAL AGE LYRICS

1. Turn The Sun Off!

[I. The Presage]

There is a permanent fire
Burning inside our hearts.
We shall never betray
Our purity of Gods

But those who choose to be weak
Those who linger behind
Those who always retreat
They commit suicide

Their Sun will stop burning…

Now make your choice
Whether to join us and be free
Or get lost
In the purifying flame

Of our wrath
There is no space in one place
For both
Beasts and Gods!

There is fear in your hearts!
Uselessness in your eyes
There shall never be mercy
For the cancer of the Earth!

You can only consume
You sleep away your lives
You have no ways to evolve
Only one path - to die!

Our Sun will die because of you!

The brightest light
Will shine forever on the wise
We will rise
Far, far above the dark blue skies

Our minds
In concordance with our souls
Will create
A worthy world!

[II. There Is Hope]

There's so much to do together
We could live forever
And this hell might never
Never return...
The whole world is against us
And it shall burn!!!

Rise your head above the sky
And let the ground be shaken
By your battle cry!

You are not forsaken
Your soul can not be taken
Unless you wish it to be done!

In the eternal fields of darkness
The Primordial Chaos is whirling
We collect our strength eternal
To create a brand new world

Those who waste their time on nothing
Will doze in a lifelong slumber
Till the time the High Command rings:
TURN THE SUN OFF!

[III. The Beginning Of The End]

The sun will darken
The air will chill throughout
The heaven will collapse
The darkest winds will blow
Across the desert of Seth

Arise, who lie beneath the ground!

[IV. Rise Of The Undead]

In every place and in
every direction bones start
shivering beneath the
ground, and out of every
hole, every low place the
Undead crawl into the light
of the darkening sun and
countless dead eyes are
gazing at the still beautiful
but dying Earth...

This is the end...
But you asked for it...

Inexorable... implacable...
Purification!

There was a little hope...
You could live in a world
So bright and strong!

It could last forever...

The brightest light
Could some forever on the wise
We could rise
Far, far above the dark blue skies

Our minds
In concordance with our souls
Could create
A worthy world!...

[V. The Dead Will March The Earth]

Hold the line!
Spare none but the worthy!
Purify the world!
Eradicate the human disease!

Get ready! Hold on!
The world is ours!
Only the decent will survive!
We are the healers of the
Earth!

VI. A New Aeon Dawns

Time!
It is the morning time
But I see no light
No light in the sky:
There is no sun!

Only the stars
Shine in the night
Only the night
Eternal night...

Soon the world
Will invert itself
And Brahma's breath
Will repeat...

Countless new suns
Dawn on the edge
Of the world
A new Aeon
Is starting...

2. Wings Of Your Heart

At the beginning of every day
You know what lies ahead
Petty grey days without an end
Time exchanged for bread

Life has no meaning and will soon end
You will rot in the sand
The only thing that you were taught right
Is to misunderstand

In time you'll grow
The Wings of your heart
You will feel, you'll know
The breath of the night

Fly through the heaven
Eternally free
You will be forever
If you learn to see!

No! This life was never for you!

You were created unflawed!
The blood of Kingu runs in your veins
You are a spark of God!

Rise your head above the crowd
Master the power within
You are the finest creature on Earth

Do not disgrace your kin!

In time you'll grow
The Wings of your heart
You will feel, you'll know
The breath of the night...

Fly through the Heaven
Eternally free
You will be forever
If you learn to see!

3. Anthem Of Valour

Hear the warriors' song
That rings above the sky
Feel the ground shake beneath you
Hearken the battle cry!

See the field lit with fires -
Ten thousand men are here tonight
Listen: Death's wings are flapping -
Tomorrow we will die!

Time to rise, our final call!
Under our feet trembles the Earth!
The road is clear to Odin's Hall
The day we waited above all!

We have subdued our fear
We seek advice from our Death
A spell is laid on our weapons
None escapes our wrath!

Time to rise our final call!
Under our feet trembles the Earth!
The road is clear to Odin's Hall.
The day we waited above all!

Only we know the secrets
The battle magic is our lore
Death is where you hide from it
So raise your axe and fear no more!

Time to rise our final call!
Under our feet trembles the Earth!
The road is clear to Odin's Hall
The day we waited above all!

4. Hallow The Morning Sun

[Instrumental]

5. Death Guard

I am fear of the Divine
I'm the reflection in your eyes
And I'm the dreams you try to hide
To get a place in paradise

I'm a force you cannot see
But I am not a fantasy
I am the scythe of the Gods
The master of all earthly lords

When you are in fear
Or in despair
I always shall be near you
Giving you my strength

When you are in anger
I shall be your friend
When you are revenging
I shall guide your hand

Most of mortals fear me
But there is something they can't see:
If you go to a certain length
Then I will favour you with Strength

And if you grow over me
You'll have a chance of being free
It's up to you to make the choice
And hearken to your inner voice

When you are in fear
Or in despair
I always shall be near you
Giving you my strength

When you are in anger
I shall be your friend
When you are revenging
I shall be your hand

6. In The Center Of The Earth

Feel the pain of anguish and desire
Touch the freezing flames of my black fire
Watch your body shiver with convulsions and despair
Now you know what I feel - only now it's fair!

In the center of the Earth
Where the fire of time remains
Come and break my heart's desire
To see my own pain!

In the center of the time
Where the nightingale sings our love
Come and break my heart's desire!
I will always be loving you...
As I make my path in this damned world
As a man so hateful and so old
Come with me my darling, light my early dusk!
Stretch your hands and pull off me, pull this useless mask...

In the center of the Earth
Where the fire of time remains
Come and break my heart's desire
To see my own pain!

In the center of the time
Where the nightingale sings our love
Come and break my heart's desire!
I will always be loving you...

All the world is not enough for us!
Nothing can take in my burning love!
For your love and happiness I'd destroy the world!
Nothing else matters! Only you can save my soul!

In the center of the Earth
Where the fire of time remains
Come and break my heart's desire
To see my own pain!

In the center of the time
Where the nightingale sings our love
Come and break my heart's desire!
I will always be loving you...

7. Time Of Virginity

Since the time we ruled together
In the blind, deserted sea
Since the fadeout of memories
Time to come, that would never be...

Time to go
Over the falling snow
Over the rain to come
For now - don't cry...

In my mind - the pure reflections
Of the virgin times that passed
All our childish thoughts and questions -
Rotten now and will never, never come true!

Time of virginity
Life of obscurity
I will rise!

Time of virginity
Life of obscurity
Time will come!

In my mind - the pure reflections
Of the virgin times, that passed...

8. Battle Heart

No matter what happens
I'll remain myself
There's no way to buy me:
I have my inner wealth!

I go only forward
Light shines in my eyes
If you stand in my way -
Either move or die! Or die!!

In the world of sorrows
I shall stand as one
Witnessing its downfall
Worshiping the Sun!

My will is unbending
And my arm is strong
My faith never withers
I know where I belong! So long!

Over the downfalls
Into the risings
Follow my errand
Over the time

Mystical knowledge
Pleasure, enlightments:
The only priceless gift
Is Life!

There is only one way
To get a good thing done:
You carry on falling
Until you start to run

There is no way round it
Just stand up and fight!
Life's a constant war:
The winner's always right! So fight!...

War goes on forever
In battle I thrive
Having fought my weakness
In victory I rise!

Pursuing perfection
The fight goes on and on
And maybe we will make it
To the next Aeon...

9. Northern Lights

Once upon a time
In the land of snow
There was a great Empire.
Vanished long ago

The platoes of the Arctic
Were home to a great race
Spirit, valour and wisdom
Were their common traits

Under the Northern Lights
During a half-year night
Under the virgin snows
Ancient wisdom lies...

Descendants of Arctida!
Your hands and souls are weak
You traded yourselves for gold
Your values are so sleek...

Aim your lives at perfection
The legacy of the Wise
And banners of Hyperborea
Might once again arise...

Under the Northern Lights
During a half-year night
Under the virgin snows
Ancient wisdom lies...

10. The Castaways

Clench your fist
A little stronger
Know, my child:
You should be bolder

Over the time you will learn yourself
You'll reach the stars...

In a world, that's gone astray
Those, who know, are cast away
Hard as steel your will should be
Only strength can make you free!

Your little life will go on by
You won't understand the truth of mine
Time will pass and there'll be nothing new
Follow the rules and they will betray you!

In a world, that's gone astray
Those, who know, are cast away
Hard as steel your will should be
Only strength can make you free!

You and me are castaways
To whom they will pray!
They will never understand
The merits of our fate
You shall be the Chosen One
To enter the Gate!

In a world, that's gone astray
Those, who know, are cast away
Hard as steel your will should be
Only strength can make you free!

11. Keepers Of Death

Over seas of time
Ringers the remembrance
Of the days gone by
Full of human nescience

Now the years that passed
Left no recognition
We are locked up here
With a dreadful mission

Die tonight
Awake tomorrow
Sing the song
Of eternal sorrow!

We escaped the fate
Of the transient mortals
Now they pay their lives -
We avoid the portal

We have endless time
We are wise and old
But can't cross the line
To the other worlds

Die tonight
Awake tomorrow
Sing the song
Of eternal sorrow!

12. Funeral March

[Instrumental]

13. Воссияй Же, Огонь Погребальный!

[Виктория, княжна: ]
Много лет, счастья и страданья,
Много зим, дней и ночей,
Я смотрела в глаза хрустальные,
Но померк свет твоих очей.

[Дружина (мужской хор):]
Воссияй же, огонь погребальный!
Провожай Воина в путь неизведанный!
Ты наш Вождь, наша Сила и Вера,
Отдавай честь Отцу - до свидания!

Я любила леса и волны,
Солнце, травы, луга, поля,
Но теперь везде лишь боль одна,
Не мила ты мне, Мать-Земля!

Воссияй же, огонь погребальный!
Провожай Воина в путь неизведанный!
Ты наш Вождь, наша Сила и Вера,
Отдавай честь Отцу - до свидания!

Ты мой путь, мое призванье,
Навсегда я одна с тобой,
Помяните нас в молчаньи,
Не тревожьте наш покой.

Воссияй же, огонь погребальный!
Провожай Воинов в путь неизведанный!
Наши Мать и Отец, Брат с Сестрою,
Мы, быть может, еще повидаемся!
