Album: Rising Out Of The Ashes (2002)





[based on Homer's Iliad]



As time marches back to infinity

I behold in my eyes

That this land of serenity

Once was a furnace of fire.

At swords, were the gods of the heavens

For the plight of the city of Troy

And for years, did the warriors do battle

For the fight of the Helen of Troy



He was the mighty Achilles

He sought the glory of war

In the heat of fighting and killing

He bought the blood of his enemies, with his sword

He stole their breath, giving them the grave as their reward



He was the mighty Achilles

He slaughtered legions at war

With the speed of lightning and zeal

He carved his name, forever into books of lore

An immortal legend - helmet, shield, and sword



Commend the dead who fought and bled upon the fields

And bury them with honors, swords and shields

Remember them they could not fend in the end

In the face of Achilles' anger, his revenge.



Hail to the one! To the king of the dead in Acheron

In his shadow we fade, we are lost in his name.

Hail to the one! To the king of the dead in Acheron

In his shadow we fade, we are lost in his name.

Hail to the one!
