Towers of Gold
He'll roam through lands forgotten Far away from the Great Plains Where ancient Gods are still hailed Beyond the sea he'll find his fate... A shelter from the coming storm An inn, an answer to their prayers A legend waits to be reborn out of the stories The stories that are told...

A warm forgotten inn our sole homecoming wish Stained coins and precious jewels will buy us months of peace The fire burns, a welcome shelter from the rain All chatter halted by the ramblings of a man... "I saw the Towers, I know the way... But who is brave enough to lead...?" His voice a silent whisper, twisted and in pain An incoherent mess of words, hopeless, insane... He turns his eyes on us and smiles, a grim façade His voice now echoеs through our head, who is that man...? "The wheel of time is turning Jеweled crowns of silver and mountains of gold Knowledge and power are there for the strong Secrets of centuries untold" "Taste the forbidden wine... Burning sun - sail to the East! When the moon's up face the favonian tide... Brave the storm, wake up the beast!" "Over the walls of an ancient stone city they stand... Proud through the ages, towering over the land... The blackened eclipse hides the secrets of mankind untold... He who shall seek, he will find the Towers of Gold..." We stood in silence as he walked out of the door The blizzard howling, wailing like never before We tried to follow him outside, no flame, no light... But the old man had disappeared into the night... I'll find the Towers, show me the way "To you I give my final gift..." "The wheel of time is turning Jeweled crowns of silver and mountains of gold Knowledge and power are there for the strong Secrets of centuries untold"

Early morning, no one slept, we all conferred all night Dreams of gold, a glorious destiny ran rampart through our minds Our decision, sell our treasure, buy a ship and sail Fortune favours the brave, by our will we know we shall prevail Raise sails, far beyond the sea our golden destiny awaits! East of the sun, west of the moon Make the stars your guide, and the open seas your bed His voice still echoes through my head... “You must cross the sea to the black uncharted lands Walk the fiery plains of the endless desert sands There can be only one, beware, for this gift cannot be shared...” On the tide we'll sail, men will sing this tale Of how we came to be kings of this world! Raise sails, far beyond the sea our golden destiny awaits! East of the sun, west of the moon We'll make the stars our guide, and the open seas our bed His parting words still in my head... “You must cross the sea to the black uncharted lands Walk the fiery plains of the endless desert sands There can be only one, beware, for this gift cannot be shared...” We will travel far, reach a lost forgotten shore We will conquer lands where no man has gone before! "There can be only one, beware, for this gift cannot be shared...”

Ninety days we drift and wander Navigating the high seas The helm now feels like lead Lost in my thoughts Black horizons, distant thunder The feint-hearted are long gone It feels like I'm alone In my silence Searching, steering and dreaming The fabled towers of Gold Searching, dreaming and screaming Oh, the voices Black clouds gather in the distance The Eastern wind begins to howl I feel the Towers call Crack of thunder Distant storm is drawing closer Eastern howling wind and rain We feel no fеar no pain Greatness waits On black waves wе ride Prow to stern the ship now sways Head straight for the eye Don't abandon hope Don't lose faith, be brave Or this sea will be our grave On black waves we ride Prow to stern the ship now sways Head straight for the eye Don't abandon hope Don't lose faith, be brave Or this sea will be our grave

Deep inside the void of illusions I sleep till my time will come Sounds of silence, the chanting of the wind Try to wake what I refuse to become As the light fades and droning winds blow Secrets ride on the wings of the storm Darkness calls, the night sky is my roof Crimson shadows fall There was no moon, the sky above our heads was inky black The storm had passed, the briny air was wet, heavy and cold The sails are torn, we drift along the currents of the deep The sunrise comes revealing distant shores, but I’m in pain Oh, the light “Sleep now my child, it’s alright Their mournful chants go on for days, as we drift towards the shore How did we even get here…? I can’t take anymore I need the peace, I long to rest away from all their noise Can’t stand their hums, I only crave the silence Oh, the still of the night No pain, no whispers, no light Blind eyes can't see Beyond the veils of stars Sad pawns of fate Lack the faith that heals the scars Cursed are the blind Curse their plight Damn their wailing, damn their anguish Longing for the symphony of the night Cursed are the blind Cursed are the blind Cursed are the blind I'm the chosen of the night Cursed are the blind Cursed are the blind I'm the chosen of the night I'm the chosen of the night Deep inside the void of illusions Sleep till your time will come You will taste the sweetest wine And do what must be done

"Fall in the darkest dream, rest in peace and I’ll find you Be not afraid, trust me now and you’ll be home Just believe me, don't play their game Kings no crown, proud and vain... Rise, I'm by your side Lies, their woes and cries The chosen eyes cannot be blind Let them cry and their tears will show the way..."

So many days we roam Searching for the final sign Through the storm we passed... No rest, no food, no sleep Just this God forsaken land Did we miss a path, I wonder Will we ever rest? The whispers turn to screams Through the wasteland of my mind Searching for a sign "Seek and you will find…" "...The gift cannot be shared..." Thy will be done… "...Only one man can make it there..." "Destroy them, cut their life and free them from their pain" I'll create my destiny Free from all fate’s plans Light fades, power glory and Gold are made for the bold Thousand years of sorrow, oh sweet betrayal’s wine None shall have the right to claim what’s mine I will stab them in their sleep Deny them all their tears “Drink the wine, be free from all your fears” I will find the Towers Free from all fate's plans Dreams of Gold turn into nightmares with a knife in your back...

Out in the distance I can see a shade of gold Oh, what a glorious sight to finally behold A black stone city lies in ruins just ahead Home of a thousand statues, everything is dead I look around, I am alone but yet they’re here The towers are within my grasp I'm finally near Fragments of whispers on the wind, am I insane? The town is dead but yet it speaks it calls my name… I can hear them now Kings that have no crown... I can hear them now "You've come to lands forgotten Far away from the Great Plains... But yet your thirst, could not bе quenched Beyond thеse gates you'll find your fate..." "Go now but know you cannot trust his voice Promising Silver and Gold Leave this place never come back, stop the wheel Remember the price of your choice…" You won't stop me now Damn this wretched town You won't stop me now...

Blank... like an empty canvas, a single glass of wine... A distant laughter echoing sends shivers down my spine "You came for the secrets... you came for the gold... So come and claim your power!" A winding staircase descends into darkness So down is where I go... Lost... in an endless corridor, so many ways to follow Fear... there's a thousand doorways, which way shall I go? "You came for the power, you came for the gold! So, come and learn the secrets!" Blank... like an empty canvas These halls arе stripped of life... Another door, anothеr room, another whisper in the wind A crimson gold painting the walls The wind is screaming, this place is dead and cold Am I lost in the towers of Gold...? Walls are turning, rooms are full of sand... What is going on? The stairs are gone, there is no... no way back... Lost in the Towers... Can I go back? All paths I followed, now dressed in black... I roam in my silence , crimson shadows fly.... Where... should I go? What... have I done? "Woe to friends and woe to enemies The chosen of the night The seeker of the power The black unbridled light One to guide his men into their fate Come, complete the circle..." "Welcome home, the wheel keeps turning Come to me, my soul is burning Time to claim what's yours! Come, complete the circle..." I roam into the darkness, the wind inside now wails These walls are full of murals, that tell their age-old tales An ancient war, the victor built his prize on to these plains A crown throughout the ages, of a curse that still remains I roam into the darkness, my reason starts to fade I listen to the wind, this terrifying wail "Find the throne room, Join our symphony" Dry my tears and open yet another door Have I been here before...? Another door another room, not here again... How can I escape this place? You'll never leave the towers Your soul they will devour You'll never leave the towers There's only one way home... What is this...? It can't be... You...! “One thousand warriors were gathered, their destruction I saw with my eyes I covered my ears not to hear their screams, but the wind still carries their cries One thousand souls travel into the wind, their whispers like stories and tales Fragments of Gods who are lost in the mist, stone is their eternal jail...” "So many centuries have passed, since the day I came Another voice was calling then, the things he said the same... The hunger has brought many men, to haunt these dreadful halls Their voices travel through the wind, one thousand cursed souls..." A flash of light, my soul torn from my body And the city of Stone has one more king...

My journey started long ago but still there is no sign The ancient ones who heed my call are drunk with damnation's wine The remnants of my soul are burned, destruction on my path Despite the power and knowledge earned, I suffer from my wrath… With every ancient holy spell, with each unhallowed verse I realize my power is a curse Silver reflections fly, I can hear the heavens cry Crimson shadows my time has come to die... I have survived over the years, and my magic has grown strong Oblivion is my destiny; I don’t know what's right or wrong Centuries passed and I am lonely, I have reached my final hell My empty soul will find peace only where crimson shadows dwell... With every ancient holy spell, with each unhallowed verse I realize my power is a curse Silver reflections fly, I can hear the heavens cry Crimson shadows my time has come to die...
