Echoes of Ancient Tales
Over this wasteland's tide I unfurl my sails, I abide Consumed by a fate once foretold To sire a kingdom of salt and stone My soul now rendered in twain Will this deserted haven now be my home? A hollow search, I see it now, it's vain Devoid of true north, unshackled and free Doomed be the guilt swept mist That clouds all memories from beyond the sea To be in this ocean, enslaved Will a dying heart still bleed for me? To see through the wreckage of my own soul There will be no deliverance for one to behold I have none at my side but my guilt and my pride May they guide me well... Let me feel their might! Is there ever an end? I'll roam through this void eternally An eternal winter of wind and wave A just fate for me to endure Under sun and storm Beyond reach shall be The peaceful grave… In search of bare heavens Willing to sink the worlds beneath Commit your hearts to madness And our souls to sea

In the chamber of the mind, where shadows creep, A tortured soul, in endless vigil, weeps The pendulum swings, a relentless strife, In the haunted corridors of a dark mind A raven's cry echoes through the hollow, As thoughts, like thunder, in darkness wallow The chamber door soon reveals a maze, Where sanity and madness coexist, ablaze In the riddle of the fights, a labyrinth to roam, An epic descent into the haunted home No blood is spilled, no weapons drawn, Yet battles rage from dusk till dawn Dreams entangled with stories untold A symphony of silence, a nightmare unfolds In the attic of thoughts, webs of despair, Past battles linger in the air As I try to remember and rip what you sow My mind wrestles with shadows that grow So in the silence of the psychic night, Where thoughts engage in spectral fight, Everlasting and ceaseless drum, In the haunted echoes, terror will come In the riddle of the fights, a labyrinth to roam, An epic descent into the haunted home No blood is spilled, no weapons drawn, Yet battles rage from dusk till dawn Dreams entangled with stories untold A symphony of silence, a nightmare unfolds The warriors charge, with a thunderous sound, My soul trembled, with their steps on the ground The air is laden with the scent of doom, Some whispers announcing: Death is soon! No blood is spilled, no weapons drawn, Yet battles rage from dusk till dawn Dreams entangled with stories untold A symphony of silence, a nightmare unfolds

In the shadows dance, my destiny laid Since my first breath, my end foreseen In an eerie trance, that sharpens my blade With each spark, memories convene I’ll die this day Fate is upon me No pledge will I deny With a bellowing warcry On this day I die First light gleams upon my sword Darkness’ calling can’t be ignored In the cold embrace of fate I know I’ll rest at heaven’s gate I’ve longed for this day Fate is upon me No pledge will I deny With a bellowing warcry On this day I die In this battle I’ll find my peace Prepared to meet my end But my rage shall never cease My enemies are condemned For every wound and pain I feel An echo whispers that I’m still here The prophecy I must fulfil Through darkness’ call, the end is near Fate is upon me No pledge will I deny With a bellowing warcry On this day I die Darkness looms fate calls In the shadows I stand tall Since the dawn of time, my fate revealed This fateful day, my life released So let heavens weep and cry For today a warrior dies Fate is upon me No pledge will I deny With a bellowing warcry On this day I die

In caverns vast, where sunlight dies And echoes murmur ancient sighs There lies a world of shadows deep Where night and terror waken sleep Beneath the crust of earth’s cold skin Where no man’s light has ever been Twisted roots and stone entwine In realms forgotten, lost to time Ohhhh …The air is thick A heavy shroud, whispers rise I scream Wake me from this dream A glimpse of light - no, just a flare Of bioluminescent glare The passage winds, a serpent's trail Through waters black that wail and wail Each drip a note of sorrow's song A dirge for those who wandered so wrong From fathoms deep, a figure stirs With eldritch eyes, its essence blurs Ohhhh…The air is thick A heavy shroud, whispers rise I scream Wake me from this dream

Death's shroud upon me, my veins turn to ice For my kin I will give a last sacrifice And no fear shall grip me, for no broken vow I repent As blood soaks the soil, my soul sweeps through time A warrior's judgment for deeds now enshrined I long for the halls that await me As I ascend Heavy thy crosses, braver than steel Truth in the anger, that brought one to kneel Ageless echoes, a hand to lend Tongues to speak The tale of time's end A peace everlasting, no gods nor kings No sorrows to grasp to, no fortune to bring Come to me now, the promise of my dreams... A glimpse of eternity The end This riddle I cannot solve, I cannot see It's forever haunting me My journey ends, yet here I find no grace No angels’ song nor holy light’s embrace The stars, indifferent, coldly mark my fate A wanderer lost, before an empty gate I stand, lost within the deep Where time and space in shadows sleep Heavy thy crosses, braver than steel Truth in the anger, that brought one to kneel Ageless echoes, a hand to lend Tongues to speak The tale of time's end

The ships of Carthage sailed the dark sea Where traders brought their silks and ivory And Dido’s dream was cast upon the shore A kingdom built, to stand forevermore Crumbled into sand Thy ghost walks proudly Though empires fall Carthage lives eternally But flame and spear, the work of Roman hands Laid low her towers and burned the ancient lands Yet in the dust, a whisper still remains The pulse of Carthage flowing through her veins Crumbled into sand Thy ghost walks proudly Though empires fall Carthage lives eternally Though time has buried him in endless night His name still lingers in the winds of flight Crumbled into sand Thy ghost walks proudly Though empires fall Carthage lives eternally

From the rising sun to the setting flame Through crashing waves and the storm’s cry We sail the tides under no name To bring destruction to mankind's pride From realms unknown, our voices rise A dirge that stains the sombre skies Winds of fury, hearts unchained A flash of steel, wild and untamed From shore to shore, our tale will flow A mystery as deep as the seas we sow We are the Sea People Of forgotten fame We are the storm That bears no name With sails of wrath and hearts of stone The echoes of chaos is our battle call We seek the power of kingdoms unknown And cities to burn where our shadows fall A fleet of fire on the moonlit tide Pharaohs tremble, their gates thrown wide Winds of fury, hearts unchained A flash of steel, wild and untamed From shore to shore, our tale will flow A mystery as deep as the seas we sow We are the Sea People Of forgotten fame We are the storm That bears no name Who were we, the winds never knew The tide keeps our secrets buried deep Raiders of life, or seekers of bread Conquerors of tyrants, our truth will sleep So think of the sea and the storm’s embrace We vanished as silently as we came The fleeting glimpse of a shadowed face History forever will forget our name No grave shall hold our names in stone For only the stars know of our might We are the myths the tides have sown Lost warriors bound to endless night Winds of fury, hearts unchained A flash of steel, wild and untamed From shore to shore, our tale will flow A mystery as deep as the seas we sow We are the sea people Of forgotten fame We are the storm That bears no name
