Epic: The Poetry of War
I'm sick and tired of feeling nostalgic For things I've done in the past I want to breath the future without engulfing the past Behold my resurrection Behold the rage of aggression Day after day the anger rises Beyond comprehension, sanity is dead Pushed over the edge, feel the pain I bear Cross thy path if you dare All you see is this dead stare Deep down the roots of my persona I feel the wrath, destiny has brought us Face to face - At last this is the final stand Everytime I rise somebody has died Can't convert this rage inside I've killed in order to survive Now I kill, because I'm deprived I really want to change, I feel shame But there's something inside driving me insane! Non posso cambiare - Il destino - Quanto... Il diavolo in me!

As the sky darkens the warriors awaken The feeble have fallen, opposition is weaken Strategic in play, trapped in vein Annihilated In dust... damnation is now! Damnation is here Are you ready to burn? Damnation is here! Wounded souls in a tragic time Victims of oppression from a conquering tribe To find a new identity in assimilation or extinction Buried beneath a sea of rage their history is lost in shame Prisoners of power... left to be devoured! Damnation is here Are you ready to burn? Damnation is here Buried beneath a sea of rage their history is lost in shame Prisoners of power... left to be devoured!

Listen as I dictate the future This republic most come to an end! Proclaim the emperor To lead the people And give this land the fruits of the world Together we shall stand At the height of majesty Strength and honor for the glory of Rome One day we will roam There's no forgiveness In the era of the mercyless I've seen it in the eyes of the gods I've seen the birth of a new world Preach the truth - Preach the logic Strength and honor for the glory of Rome One day we will roam There's no forgiveness In the era of the mercyless "I Julius Ceasar will free Rome From its corruption And only then will our children prosper" Set forth legions of Rome To conquer this world in vein with blade Strength and honor for the glory of Rome One day we will roam There's no forgiveness In the era of the mercyless "Roma Victor!"

Wealth, greed, selfishness Surrounds the empire Pain and sufferance are no more Military recruits decrease Democracy reign supreme Honor replaced by material necessity... No roman blood for war... Rebellion grows... Mercenary for hire, losing faith 500 years about to crumble Underneath the beautiful lays to horrid Brokendown, buried in flames The empire shivers in fear As the glorious weep - The fire sleeps No one shall save the weak And as the glorious weep - The fire sleeps The sword enters so deep No roman blood for war - Rebellion grows... Wisigoths, Astaroths Barbarian hordes Devastate from the inside The west is lost Slowly Rome falls to Elysium As the glorious weep - The fire sleeps No one shall save the weak And as the glorious weep - The fire sleeps The sword enters so deep

I hear the distant cry of human evolution Driven to vanquish to no disillusion I am the one you despise The one who brings great change The equivalent of fear... Of all that is strange To a simple mind in a complicated time You see... I don't fear the things you fear As life is a lost battle that you hold dear All that is old turns to rust The same way your flesh will turn to dust Can you feel the shivers going down your spine? Til the next seed of life That will bring resurrection The same way your ancestors Kept the fire burning I will bring revolution The sun will rise again And I will make you feel The shivers of a new world Shivers... "feel the change"... Of... "its all thesame"... A... "mindgame"... New World!!! The quest for eternity continues... The quest for eternity is here...

I manipulate your soul Deep inside the core Raping your existence In darkness! I will control desire I will control your thoughts I will be your guiding light In the dark ways of fear and pain I will embody your mind Witness the fire rise Obey my command As you lay still in the womb of hate Fear is the mind as the mind is the fear Control the soul that controls your soul Or forever be slave! I will control desire I will control your thoughts I will be your guiding light In the dark ways of fear and pain I will embody your mind Witness the fire rise Obey my command As you lay still in the womb of hate Fear is the mind as the mind is the fear Control the soul that controls your soul "We will tear your soul apart!" I manipulate your soul Deep inside the core Raping your existence In darkness!

If you exist... Why don't you heal my wounds? If you god... Release me from this tomb! Why don't you heal my wounds? Release me from this tomb! Don't you care?! Why... Don't you care?! About all whom have died In the name of the father And the son And the holy spirit Tell me why you betray The ones you're supposed to love I've seen innocent man fall I've seen darkend souls live forever Praying changed nothing so I fall chameless To the wound called existence I fear nothing but myself... ...Don't you care?!

A decade in the making 10 years born through anger From fantasy to reality and into the mind Prospered and fallen We've open doors that seem forever closed Northern Hyperblast Legions worldwide Loyal to the sounds of devastation We've walked through THE MYSTICAL GATE... Into the magic of SORCERY We've entered the TEMPLE OF KNOWLEDGE Just to fall VICTIM OF THIS FALLEN WORLD Reborn through THE PROPHECY Prepare for this EPIC stand! The fire burns in our heart There's no fear for the originators Of the light speed blast - Underground bound! What we've endured... The ups, the downs What we've endured... and all the shit that's in between What we endured... The criticism* What we've endured... And no recognition What we endured... for being extreme* Do you understand... Do you?... Do you understand who we are? WHAT WE ENDURED ...The ups, the down ...and all the shit that's in between ...The criticism* ...And no recognition ...for being extreme* But we would do it all over again Because you're the reason we exist! [*too extreme/chaotic for the times in the early 90's when we started]

Have you ever felt Like the walls are closing in Like your world is about to end Trapped in a place where you can't escape Feeling desperate to breath again To cast away that moment of insanity And feel no more pain in solitude and despair I close my eyes and hope to die Trying to find and understand The things I left behind Bring me something to feel I said... Bring me somthing to feel Hear me... Have you ever felt Like the walls are closing in Like your world is about to end Trapped in a place where you can't escape Feeling desperate to breath again To cast away that moment of insanity And feel no more pain in solitude and despair I close my eyes and hope to die Trying to find and understand The things I left behind I was denied Everytime I tried to capture The reasons to my life When time stands still you'll look into my eyes Wondering why this world has died "I cannot die... I am forever..."
