IMPERIAL AGE LYRICS

1. Vanaheim

[Verse 1]
I can see the sun never setting
Northern Lights in the polar night,
Tilled earth on the northern pole,
Warm green meadows, clear blue skies...

[Chorus]
Our world is still alive,
Our memory revives,
Our homeland is and will be
Vanaheim!
Spirit of the Warrior Race,
It will rise among their graves
And the ancient might of old
Shall arise, and its knowledge will unfold!

[Verse 2]
Once a great race descended from the sky,
Took the fight, overcame its foes.
Built the Solar and Lunar empires,
Lost itself in the flames of war.

[Chorus]
Our world is still alive,
Our memory revives,
Our homeland is and will be
Vanaheim!
Spirit of the Warrior Race,
It will rise among their graves
And the ancient might of old
Shall arise, and its knowledge will unfold!

[Verse 3]
Over ages the knowledge is passed
From teacher to apprentice
All that's left from a world
So mighty glorious and old...
But there are those who still
Remember the ages long forgotten
Their immortal minds are here today:
Behold!

[Chorus]
Our world is still alive,
Our memory revives,
Our homeland is and will be
Vanaheim!
Spirit of the Warrior Race,
It will rise among their graves
And the ancient might of old
Shall arise, and its knowledge will unfold!

2. Aryavarta

Aryavarta, land of the North,
Country of legend and tale!
Ancient empire, forgotten in time,
Memories ghostly and frail...

You were the greatest force
Of your time,
Land of astonishing power,
Confederation of Aryan might,
Until your very last hour...

And the legends go on and on...

For many centuries and more
Our souls have dreamt
Of homely shores,
Now our legacy can speak,
Our vanished glory we shall seek!
And we'll redeem the might of old
For all the world now to behold!
The road is blessed, we won't return,
The lore of ancient worlds we learn...

Home to the Vedas - the wisdom of old,
Chronicles of times forgotten,
Governed by Bramins - the wise
And the great,
Until their hearts became rotten...

Civilisation of spirit and might,
Mages of terrible knowledge,
Over the centuries vanished from sight,
Few are now paying your homage...

And the legends go on and on...

For many centuries and more
Our souls have dreamt
Of homely shores,
Now our legacy can speak,
Our vanished glory we shall seek!
And we'll redeem the might of old
For all the world now to behold!
The road is blessed, we won't return,
The lore of ancient worlds we learn...

Over the years we searched the truth,
The hidden signs of old
In all the different artifacts
That History has known.
And we regained the knowlenge
Of the previous great age
We know for sure whats hidden there.
Beyond the seen stage!

Unrecognized, forgotten, unknown,
Banned from historical scriptures,
You are alive in the hearts
Of your sons
And in the minds of true thinkers.

Ancient tradition forever lives on,
But there remain those who today
Remember the knowledge
And power of all,
Their consciousness knows no decay.

And the legends go on and on...

2. Warrior Race

Hail thou, Warrior Race!
All the world's here to embrace
Will be conquered by your grace
Death your enemies will face!

Sweep them like a fire sword,
Inflict death with every word,
You are now the overlords,
Land your ships, unleash the hoard!

Hail mighty sons
Of Vanaheim!
Vimanas fly above the sky!

The Imperial Age
Has just begun,
The world will soon be redone!

Now the Vanir attack what has remained
From the once greatest empire on Earth
What the Assir have managed to save
Will now fall to the wrath from the North.

The final war
Has just begun!
Atlantis will be overwhelmed,

The last strongholds
High in the peaks
Will soon be mere history...

Knowledge that was wrought by generations
Now will be lost for the new age to come
Vanquished by Runes, their Magicians retreat,
Time for Atlantis has come to succumb!

Hail mighty sons
Of Vanaheim!
Vimanas fly above the sky!

The Imperial Age
Has just begun,
The world will soon be redone!
