In a time forlorn

I was crowned a king

To rule for a thousand ages

To the pinnacles of power

Yeah beyond my dreams

My fire will forever burn

Awake again from their slumber

With chariots blazing high

The gods of time tread my kingdom once more

From aeons above decending

Down the pits of hell I was of their fire before I fell

I ruled the land air and sea

Man abode no one but me

Firestorms heathens rage

Sacrilege my only aim

From my stars high above

From the one eternal throne

To the deep lost abyss

Stretched this kingdom where I ruled

Bleeding in eternal night

As the ages slowly pass away

Beyond the reach of the mighty

In shadows lurking still

We gods of ancient shall again prevail

By highest glory outcast

Into night´s oblivion

When time is right the vengeance is ours

In times forlorn I was a king

Is my crown but a dream

Am I not god?

By powers mightier and stronger than I

I am lead in darkness to a moonlit tomb of old

In the tomb lies an ancient queen

Though decomposed I love to kiss

Her lovely brow in an act of love

Under the stars we two are one

Sparks now faded with dreams forever gone

Naught but ashes where the fire once burned strong

Once a mighty empress crowned in flames

A molten mass the only thing that remains

But through our love her lifeless womb revives

Wormeaten flesh shall once again bear a child

Her long dead body once lifeless stiff and numb

Now twists in passion denied her for so long

In ecstasy we two are one

By rotten arms caressed

I want to spend eternity

Part I - Awakening

The silence bear a mournfull face

Great warriors awakening

From a slumber of long since fallen

In ancient times of old

In shame their darkened faces hide

With tearfilled burning eyes

In death they still remember

A mortal life forever gone

Ares mighty warrior king

Breed lust into thy damned children

Stir into their drunken hearts

Glory from above

"Heed this morning mighty men

Raise your head in pride

March up to the sacred mountain

With prophecy of war"

Part II - The calling

In caverns carved by fire

By man angel or god

Forever unseen

The molten darkness

Breeds the souls of the kings

In a future to come

Their hearts black with hatred

Their eyes red like

Purest virgin blood

They haunt the night

The kings of tomorrow

Knights of doom

If you want to burn

Come play our game of fire

Enter the halls of

Our great lord warrior king

Rip out your heart

And place it on the altar

Then our lord of darkness

Shall crown thee a king to be

Into the moonless night

Ride proud on your stallions black

Head held high and steel in hand

As your scythe reap human lives

Spirits of earth

Fire air water and steel

Awaken our master

The lord of blood fire and pain

To behold his sons

Gathered in darkness all over the world

Open the gates

Tread forth from the slumber wherein you lie

Part III - The burning

Tread forth from the shadows

Open the void conjure the flames

Awake now from your slumber old

We hail you

Ares lord of this world

Come to us with your fire

And in your fire we shall forever burn

This miserable world

Cast into the void of purifying flames

The abyss opened wide beneath us

This is our land our land to rule

Beyond the gates of slumber

Beyond the world we know

There is an ancient kingdom

In nigths dominion

By mankind forgotten

But still our legends tell

Of wonderworlds awating

The righteous after death

But this our world we live in

Ain´t nothing but a dream

And in death the gates are opened

To the dark oblivion

But our death must be chosen

Or we will only be reborn

To live on earth forever

In endless cycles of death and birth

Beyond the gates of slumber

Beyond our waking world

The passage to eternity

Your chosen death will show

Awake in the boundless glory

Of death´s eternal might

While the scums of earth are bleeding

I rejoice in the endless night

I approach the gate

Opened wide to greet

A lost soul

On a final journey back home
