Eastbound, arise! It's avoiding demise We are conquering lands to our West Forced to the Danube by Huns and misfortune It's time to take hold of our lives More nomads than tribe, on the run to survive Our kings have sworn to divide It's the end of all fears, the new Era appears When Alatheus and Safrax collide We are the Ostrogoth! Your lives will be spared if you Bow down to the Ostrogoth! New kingdom declared Our kingdom is born, Roman class overwon From now on we won't be denied First Issonzo to fall, then Verona's last call The empire of Rome, dead and gone Theodoric The Great, ruler of our new state Kings and nobles submit! Gone the glory of Rome, all bow down 'fore the throne In Ravenna they're all off the grid We are the Ostrogoth! Your lives will be spared if you Bow down to the Ostrogoth! New kingdom declared Many wars have been fought, new horizons been sought Years passed by, now lurks the fall Final battle decides: survival or demise The outcome a total recall It's the end of our creed, caused by fatal defeat Gone are lands we possessed An annotation in time, we end up down the line Ostrogoth's back in distress We are the Ostrogoth! Your lives will be spared if you Bow down to the Ostrogoth! New kingdom declared

Deo Patrum Nostrorum A call to arms in the year of Valletta Conspiracy under a Calvinistic ploy Iconoclasts, who'd see our rulers' roles recast An ignominy that just cannot be ignored Spain won't stand for this damned indignation Open defiance in the province of mills All you who of Reform do sing Out of your mouths remorse I'll wring Oh, for country, king and kin A Troubled Council I bring Laments of a thousand men Their rights rescinded and wrest down to Hell Oh my brothers, who fought so brave beside me Lords of Egmont and Horn Even your heads I'll see roll with tears in my eyes My tyranny to atone for your apostasy I will stand in defence of the chantry And I will see this through 'til the end For God and King Unto your neck the blade shall swing Oh, down the Spanish Road I carry your reproach A force ten thousand strong A rebel nation right overrun Oh, call me Iron and rot Enter my Court of Blood All your cities under siege The price you pay for your heresy

We play hide-and-seek in helium fields And speak without a sound The Grand Cycle of all things our merry-go-round Ours is a playground unbound We slingshot around the Milky Way On our way to Andromeda or some place further away It's but a question of Time Godspeed to you in everything you do And safe returns again Godspeed to you wherever you may go And hold your heading true So we set our dials to Godspeed And watch the world grow old As we converse with the quasars The speed of light a laughing matter And matter but a question of light and speed Godspeed to you in everything you do And safe returns again Godspeed to you wherever you may walk I know we'll pull through Now I'm not afraid to deal with these feelings 'Cause I'd rather go today than I would tomorrow Even in the dusk of day there still shines a sliver Of the silver line that lighted my yesterdays Step right up, to see the world spin on my fingertips! Yeah! Godspeed to you in everything you do And safe returns again Godspeed to you wherever you may go And hold your heading

Emptiness is all of a sudden Transformation of accountability Beyond our powers to be and to believe Where we stood, a place called our save haven It has altered our path, our destiny And we realise that our idolatry wasn't meant to be I don't want to see the blood, feel the flood As darkness sets inside our world when icons fade Will there be a vast new life, we're bound to strife And so it lingers, yearning what was in control Lifelong creeds of vast illusive wisdom Gathered through the things we have achieved Have defined the structures we hold on to In order to perform our daily doses Into a self-created world of slavery Building skyscrapers to reach infinity; avoid mortality Eliminate the borderline, control decline And darkness sets inside the world you ought to know Will we see the light of day brought to decay It slowly withers when icons fall and fade away And in the afterlife, when all that mattered faded Reveal the truth for the blind to see So now we're devastated, only our heart is left to be Without the mind, there's liberty I don't want to see the blood, feel the flood As darkness sets inside our world when icons fade Will we see the light of day brought to decay It slowly withers when icons fall and fade away And in the afterlife, when all that mattered faded Revealed the truth for the blind to see So now we're devastated, only our hearts are there to beat Without the mind, there's liberty

Fontenoy, 1745 I'm a fusilier in the first battalion Under orders from George To safeguard all the British Empire We're taught never to surrender And that a man must stand his ground And we see the cannon's ammunition a-flying O'er the battlefield's roar Oh, we live but for today For tomorrow may be a burst of fire away Yea, I joined the fold Of the old and the bold With powder and arms Port Royal, 1691 I'm a privateer with an ache for adventure Corsair, if you will Running wild and free on the high seas We crave the ecstasy and danger Of the fight; the frenzy of the fray So we trim the sails at daybreak And let 'em fly into the world's end Oh, they'll fear us far and wide Oh, to rags or riches, this day'll decide Our souls are sold, for lead or for gold For powder and arms Verdun, 1916 Wherefrom the fascination with all things of conflict born While on words our leaders play? Between the warring nations no manner of truce be heard So down the runway we go Our fate lies in the air For the eagle's eye we share Into the clouds we fly Us knights of the sky With powder and arms

Falling through fate and through time Where all men are led astray And all things must fade away Climbed from the edge of the world; of my mind Searching for answers inside None are there to find Go! The wind and the rain they will set me free Far and wide they may carry me Seasons change but I'll follow my way No more fear for former days Say goodbye to yesterdays All your worries will fly Fly away; find your way Hold me in mind and I'll be on your side All will be reconciled Hold me in mind On your passage through time On your wayward way And I'll hold you in mine Take me higher, into the clouds Drive me onwards, ever into the light of day Never let life pass you by We are the keepers of all manner of light Of infinity Hold me in mind and I'll be on your side All will be reconciled Hold me in mind On your passage through time On your wayward way And I'll hold you in mine

1939, a world that is torn once again The precarious peace of 1919 wouldn't last No matter the odds we can not stand by The roar of the chalky shore cries 'fly' Back home, the battle is over and done But we'll show them a war not so easily won Gun-metal grey, we blend over the brine No mettle as mighty as the 609's High in the sky it seems so far away The count'nance of home, it will wait 'til another day A cry of the engine, the heavens our reign A bold breed reborn, to battle the sky once again Gathering pace as we race down the runway The call to scramble crackles the airwaves Beneath our wheels, the asphalt gives way to the air Far from the fight, the clouds roll on O'er old England's ground A time to recall our land so small In the calm before the storm Hard on the rudders, we fling ourselves into the fray Feel the speed, the Gees and the rush of the chase Spit fire at any one foe drawing nigh Too hot, our Merlins are burning the sky Fly and avail, we yet can prevail! A newborn creed, to stand ground and never give way Honour our heroes, the valiant and few The yellow, the red and black 'mid the Brits in the blue

[Preludium: Rebirth (instrumental)] [I. All Good Things Come In Fours] And so we're back again, you see In perfect symmetry To draw thee into our symphony May our clarion call be heard 'Cross the quarters of the earth The sign of Four to mark our rebirth Through the seasons as they turn in time The burden all men binds The quarters and the hours; the grind Take the time and you will see The truth lies in between A common ground where we can agree Four by number, four by fate Oh, four by number, four by fate If truth is noble, it numbers four Four, the elements that made up the world of yore Below the power lies a perfect fourth Four fingers that keep tabs on the score Four by number, four by fate Oh, four by number, four by fate [Interludium: Threads (instrumental)] [II. In Full Fours] Four bases of power, stages of enlightenment Horsemen that are drawing near The points on the compass, corners of the world The states of matter defined Four the fates, the answers, the movements in this symphony Drawn into the four winds, where our souls may find symmetry Four dimensions and four directions, four are the beats to the bar Four heavenly kings, and four are the strings that shake the foundations of Earth Four, they are the forces that all things in this world unite Four the truths, the virtues, that bind the threads of our lives The princes have returned from restless sleep The lords of thunder no longer asunder but back Back in full force The horsemen are drawing nearer, and there's nowhere to hide Wither in the mirror; whither weary-eyed? Four winds dividing all the fighting 'cross the land Now they're arriving, there's no abiding, you understand The rivers in Eden, if you believe in mythology The Freedoms of Franklin, if you confide in history Three brave companions needed D'Artagnan to save the day Four set the stages through the ages, paved the way Four are the faces of the unknown Light cracks the sky and the heavens doth cry Thunder roars low on the land Forth from the sea four great beasts issue free Our empires crash and fall And when darkness takes us all, to the ground, into the cold We learn but earth's our throne Into Winter we are strewn, and all our summers end too soon In our prime we're hewn [Interludium: Cast to the Winds (instrumental)] [III. Four Magics, Four Myths] Nights for Freya's jewels Deer in Yggdrasil And the dwarves that bear the sky Oh, the sons of Horus Steeds of Helios Dragon Kings and Children of Lir As in the sky we ride The Rites of Spring, we find Ever to Fall allied Wheels without end The rhythm onward ever beats Revolutions never cease And the night is just a dream That only flows between And every season doth have its charm The chill of the Winter will do you no harm Autumn leaves will grow back again And after the snow comes Spring [Interludium: The Rites of Spring] We passed the Ivory Gates, and counted days in Lazarus' tomb Four sights of suff'ring, and creatures by the sapphire throne [IV. Four Legacies] The First Empire, the vision of Caesar did rise The Glory of Rome, the Elysian loam idealized Then Bonaparte, his plans upon us did compart A burning ambition the map of Europe drew apart And then the third did stump them all The masses moving to the sermon master's call The madmen rolling out the dice across a world set aflame On hist'ry their mark, their claim Oh, we'll build a new kingdom in the sun Under the lightning flag the tribe will thrum Our lives have just begun To head into the long run What walks on four legs, on two, then on three, then on none? The answer a shock, and a fate that you cannot outrun You'll dread the query of the Sphinx You answer wrongly and then suddenly eyes fix Upon your throat, the beast, it leaps and drags you into the pit To Hades; across the Styx Oh, though a season is all we have And Time has the last laugh One and all, we may be grand Unbowed and tall we stand Oh, shorn of guise only Man remains New chances but a day away And this is goodbye but not farewell Until we meet again [Epilogue: Every Season Has Its Charm (instrumental)] Thanks to manny_calavera for sending these lyrics.
