Gloria in Regum
The faithless will not turn!

Hold the line!
In battle we thrive
We are the ceaseless horde of thunderous might
No remorse!
Unstoppable force
Burning high our virtuous torch
The heads of icons will roll!
No god is spared as we are born
To kill!
To end the regime of sin!
You'll heed our iron? and kneel!

Gloria in Regum
The faithless will not turn!

Rise towards the heavens
Wielding the sword of flame
Decapitated,
Our lord and saviour
So, kneel!

Gloria in Regum
The faithless will not turn!
Simplex et verum:
Venenum religio?

The end of madness is nigh
Despot-kings will be decrowned
Alas, awake to the bright new dawn
When man is free once more

A call to arms? Now, slay the Gods!

Gloria in Regum
The faithless will not turn!

Rise towards the heavens
Wielding the sword of flame
Decapitated,
Our lord and saviour
So, kneel!

Gloria in Regum
The faithless will not turn!
Gloria in Regum,
Gloria in Regum!

You parted the clouds
and showed me the sky
On radiant wings
you taught me to fly
My sanctum, my temple
my tempest, my storm
My beacon so bright
my guide in the darkest night
You raise me from ashes?
As my daunting shadows
return, again
?My sword in the Viper's den?

Breaking all boundaries; our spirits reign free
Order and havoc; at our own decree
Endless allegiance
the hero that rides by my side
Flying on wings of fire

The night falls and cities burn
the world falls apart
A Valkyrie, her sword ablaze,
disintegrates my jaded heart

Devour me! Reforge me!
With our merging souls in immortal embrace
?My spellblade in Minos' maze?

Breaking all boundaries; our spirits reign free
Order and havoc; at our own decree
Endless allegiance
the hero that rides by my side
Flying on wings of fire

Arcane, ethereal
Map out the stars, as one
Sailing the rays of the sun
Free rein celestials
Trailblazers of the skies
The Empyrean we leave behind
On wings of fire, ethereal!
Feeling? Celestial?

Breaking all boundaries; our spirits reign free
Order and havoc; at our own decree
Endless allegiance
the hero that rides by my side
Flying on wings of fire

As he walked the barren fields
And salted the earth
The rain was an echo
And all the seasons pale and sullen

In tears of sorrow and longing
The wanderer falls
Alone adrift in damming silence
His blood is drawn

He left us an opus
For a thousand aeons to come
In Runes of salted writing
In Tears and blood

Ride on, Spirit of Joy
Although the land is dying
And all the voices singing of hope are gone

Fly on, Spirit of Joy
And shine the daylight upon
The heart of the new-born one

Your Echoes Shall always
Resound through our halls
Your ghost in reverence
Embrace to haunt me

And his name shall never be known
All his reasons forgotten
And gone
Like the wind that drowned his screams
The salted earth alone
It wept and drew his form
Preserving his Essence
A Stark reminder to all

Ride on, Spirit of Joy
Although the land is dying
And all the voices singing of hope are gone

Fly on, Spirit of Joy
And shine the daylight upon
The heart of the new-born one

Ride on, Spirit of Joy
Although the land is dying
And all the voices singing of hope are gone

Fly on, Spirit of Joy
And shine the daylight upon
The heart of the new-born one

Spiral planes of disarray
Surrounds the sphere of halcyon
Beyond the center of the eye
A storm rages on
To a silent roar
Behold the might - Abyssal light
Into the heart of chaos unbound
Amidst the tempest from realm beyond
Dimensions collide!
It is alive!

I dwell inside the storm's eye
Within the sphere of halcyon

Whirlwind plane of dissonance
Wailing storm of hostile resonance
Pandemonium ethereal
Yet I remain unharrowed

Behold the might - Abyssal light
Into the heart of chaos unbound
Behold the might - Abyssal light

I dwell inside the storm's eye
Within the sphere of halcyon

Bravely we face the rising storm
?Though the world is seething with anger
We remain at peace within
Enter our sphere of halcyon
?Some seek resolution in hatred
As they dwell in the nexus of blood? Death? Fear?

What the fuck are you waiting for?
When day by day your face in the mirror
Just withers and decays
You know you've lost your way?
The same old sun burns your blinding eyes
As your regrets poison your frail and bleeding soul
Make me whole!

And so we age?
Waiting for our fate! ?For our fate?
So weak, so numb
Sick of the endless fight
Yet all the fables of man must end in triumph?

Dreams you lost, forever haunting
"Fate, did you betray me?
Won't you see me through, just like you used to do?"
Abandoned! All your hope begins to wane
As you surrender, again
?And again, and again

The sun shines over the same old
Over the same old?

And so we age?
Waiting for our fate! ?For our fate?
So weak, so numb
Sick of the endless fight
Yet all the fables of man must end in triumph?

Chasing dragons?
Nefarious trajectory at perigee
In rapturous apostasy - But I will be free!
From sanctimonious sophistry and then I see?
Why true elation was amiss

?Hails from the edge of the abyss!

Consumed by the downward spiral
No one can save my drowning soul
?Take my drowning soul?

Breaking orbit
Now, will you fight until the end?
As burning skies upon our heads descend
My wounded soul will spread its wings again

Tame the serpent
And swim the depths of ecstasy and entropy
The world is gone
I'm lost inside the Belly of the Beast
The numbing mist is unlashed?

Breaking orbit
Now, will you fight until the end?
As burning skies upon our heads descend
My wounded soul will spread its wings again

Hails from the edge of the abyss!

Now let us end this damned charade
Event horizon - my domain
One of these times I'm going to die
To watch the dragon ride?

Abyss portal beckoning
The reckoning of our age is nigh
Will there be glory
In the rift of eerie light?
Into the heart of space we ride

The gateway to all of creation
Stands open before us? beckoning?

Drifting void-mouth opening
A gateway to the realm of gods
Eternal reverence,
Oblivion or nothing at all?
Gazing into the eye, pulsating
Our fate is waiting so far
Amongst the million stars

Worldwide prominence and
interstellar dominance
Thousand colonies creating their
Own prophesies
Enter the starportal?
Starportal!

Emerging from ships containing the end of man
The cosmic tyrant comes to claim this land
Aeons will pass without?
?a view of the sacred sun above
Enthroned and crowned, a man, to end the blight
?And vanquish the night!

Lead us across the stars
Reunite our scattered kind
Reforge the kingdom of man
And dominate the realm of space and time

?Lead us across the stars
Reunite our scattered kind
Reforge the kingdom of man
And dominate the realm of space and time?

In the end we stumbled
Through our mournful dance
The wolf awakens inside of me
Animalistic desire for flesh
I'm ravenous and possessed
Ambition, lust or greed?
The Ravenous have to feed?
?Oh, I tried?

My amends - Can you hear me?
For your pain - Please forgive me
Bye, my friend
'Cause I'm just ravenous
Wish you well

For my sins I've atoned
Upon my guilt and shame enthroned
In absolution I end our pain
My ship is set to drift
Into the thickening of the mist
To find the promised land
?For the ferocious and ravenous man?

My amends - Can you hear me?
For your pain - Please forgive me
Bye, my friend
'Cause I'm just ravenous
Wish you well

Hugin - guide me across the raging seas
Munin - lend me your wings and set me free
Fenrir - I'm a wolf in wild pursuit of prey
Odin - brandishing your runes I sail away

Turning of a darkened mind
Flaring of the shining light we hide inside
Surge along the tide of the rising storm
Unchain your soul and let yourself fall
In splendour and grace
Decide and embrace your path
From darkness to fame

Can you fly and conquer the twilight?
Chasing the skyline!
Your soul is longing for grandeur
?This is your blight

Oh, the iron still glows
Now strike! ?and prosper

Shed your skin, scarred and worn
See within and find yourself reborn
Sacrifice all you loved
Leave and rise as a paragon
Conquer the pantheon
Harness your fate and ride
Into the endless skies ?forever

Can you fly and conquer the twilight?
Chasing the skyline!
Your soul is longing for triumph and grandeur
?The fire wanes

Enter the twilight?
Or reach for the skyline?

Chasing the skyline
Blazing horizon
Never too late
For us to choose
All bets are off and we will lose
Never too soon
To drop the weight of your remorse
And watch the sky
Because this is life

Can you fly and conquer the twilight?
Chasing the skyline!
Your soul is longing for grandeur
Chasing the skyline!
Your soul is longing for triumph and grandeur?

All I have seen
As it comes to pass
The flames of stars and their demise
In eyes more ancient than all of time
And thoughts and reams, alike
Like all the nights before
Ended once more?
?As I wonder?

Waking,
Once more a new-born star
And the weight of all worlds and wonders
Only to fade again?
Do we rise to fall once more?
Light!
Weave on our memories
As to tell all our tales anew!

A sudden burst of emotion
What would I give, to hold you
In the severing sundown,
and to talk of dreams that cannot end;
As nothing can truly end.
Oh, for all of hope!

Only voids, the oceans
Have seen what I have seen:
Anew, the circle of light and sound
Anew, the watcher waits for its end,
Watching the time descend
Back to where we came.

?And for all,
I miss the rain, drops,
As they touched our faces
And we thought them stars?

Waking,
Once more a new-born star
And the weight of all worlds and wonders
Only to fade again?
Do we rise to fall once more?
Light!
Weave on our memories
As to tell all our tales anew!
