Beowulf

There once ruled a Danish king
Descent from a greater sire
Successful across his reign
He feasts as loud as thunder
Arise!
The noise - awakes - inflames
an ancient monstrous demon
Descended - from Cain
the monster’s titled Grendel
The years of fear and death are over
An end to suffering is closer
The wrath of Cain is burning under
The creature’s head will rest asunder
Rise!
No spear, no sword
He fights the beast unguarded
One strike, one hit
He leaves the demon armless
Beholden! Delighted!
The hero’s undefeated
Rewarded - with treasure
His victory’s a pleasure
The years of fear and death are over
The kingdom’s nightmares end is closer
The wrath of Cain no long burns under
The creature’s arm now rests asunder
No!
The creature’s mother came to seek revenge
Another challenge for Beowulf
He grabs his sword, a weapon forged for giants
Filled up with rage, no fear can kill his anger
The witch attacks, misreads the warrior’s actions
He swings his sword, and kills the fuming swamp-hag
His fame spreads wide, across the foreign lands
Soon he’ll ascend to the throne of the Geats
And then one day, a dragon will emerge
He spreads destruction, and Beowulf will DIE

Duat, land of death
path of fate
It’s the judgment day
You, may be rich
may be poor
not all souls are pure
Held, in the dark
Eaten by sin
Annubis, do your judgment
Determine my guilt
Each soul will pass
the river of death
Each man will walk to
the land of the dead
Matter won’t matter
Inside the judgment hall
All Kas are weak
In front of Thoth
I AM PURE OF SIN
I am pure
pure of sin
I’ve satisfied all the gods
Preserved my mind from the guilt
OSIRIS JUDGE ME
Each soul will pass
the river of death
Each man will walk to
the land of the dead
Matter won’t matter
Inside the judgment hall
All Kas are weak
In front of Thoth

War, Death, Battle up in the skies
Between, Gods and Titans
Gods, up on mount Olympus
Titans on Othrys
No one’s walking away
Not Zeus nor Cronus
Will the old pantheon fall
Or will it rise again
The world is at stake
Long, before the wars begin
The world belonged to Titans
Uranus was their leader
He was a fucking tyrant
His wife gave her kids
A massive sickle
They mutilated him
And Cronus took the throne
OH
He too a tyrant
NO
Cronus ate his children
ZEUS
He got away
RHEA
She tricked the Tyrant
SHE
Made him sick
HE
Throws up their children
NOW
They are free
DAYS! WEEKS!
Year after year.
Zeus and his siblings
no longer feel fear
The battle begins
It lasted ten years
The titan has fallen
His fate is now clear
In Tartaus he will forever be held
The light of the sun he is gonna forget
Zeus, now rules on this Earth
The ruler of mortals and gods till this day

Once, at the dawn of time
There stood eternal silence
Chaotic darkness
Enclosed by ice and fire
Day after day
They both attract each other
Frost met the flames
The ice melt by the fire
All nine worlds, beggining to form
Assembling
Endless pit, beginning to fill
with daylight
Drops of the melted ice
Formed up a godlike giant
Hermaphrodite like worms
His sweat gave birth to others
Another melted splash
Emerged a primal cattle
Her warm tongue melt the ice
From where the Aesir gods would rise
Buri! Bor!
The Aesir gods tribe’s firstborns
Bestla! Bor!
Their sons half-god half-giant
Vili! Ve!
The one-eyed father’s brothers
They slay! They kill!
They three will slaughter Ymir
The giant’s corpse lays still
While Aesir gods form worlds
His blood, makes oceans
The rotting skin is soil
His skull, blue skies
Two trunks, Embla and Ask
In Midgard, they dwell
While death is what created life!
All nine worlds, beggining to form
Assembling
Endless pit, beginning to fill
with daylight

Capturing the Universe

Day and night
Divided light and darkness
The sun rises and falls
Because of ancient wars
A battle between good and evil
Chernobog! The lord of darkness, an evil god
He’s sick of living in exile
He wants revenge on the human world
The god transforms into a black serpent
It crawls out of its hiding lair
Corrupting, the people on his passage
Assembling an army to conquer the world
But, Svarog, protector of men
The god sensed, that something was wrong
He stroke his hammer, against the fiery forge
Creating gods to help him
Chernobog! The lord of darkness, an evil god
He’s sick of living in exile
He wants revenge on the human world
Gods, born through the forge’s fire
Descend to the world of men
They see that a war is coming
Svarog needs to arm his warriors up
Chernobog’s corrupted army
Fought through the heavenly gates
Svarog made a chest of magic
Where they trapped the beast till the end of his days
Half world, was still corrupted
The all mighty, spared them all
They lived, on one condition
That darkness won’t conquer the world in whole
Half world, shines in daylight
The other half, with a dark soul
Until today, still split in cycles
Day and night as we know it all

Out in the cold
I walk alone
The air here feels haunting
The misty shadows grow
Noises, right and left
I’m feeling a presence
It stalks me like pray
I take a look, behind my back
Nobody’s here, I turn straight ahead
Surprice! A woman stands there!
Wearing a mask, hiding her face
Her soul dark like night’s sky
Reflecting her horrible past through her eyes
Once, there was a married couple
A girl, and a samurai
For long they lived together
Ages ago, in Japan
But, the wife’s beauty
It conquered her feelings, it crawled in her head
The husband caught her cheating
He drew his sward, and took her beauty away
(In Japanese)
«Am I pretty?»
«Yes»
«Am. I. pretty..»
No! No!
Her mouth is sliced from ear to ear
While my body is sweating from fear
She is staring at me
So-so, is my answer
She’s confused while I run like a madman
I think I escaped from her eyes
But I’m not so sure, I may be dead by sunrise
Finally, I went home
What a day, I go straight in my bed
As, I close my eyes
I feel her cold blade go straight through my heart
