Into The Abyss 03:58
lyrics
I travel to the end of the world At the shores of Oceanus where I will begin my mission To unravel the most hideous secret of Zeus, our god and oppressor To restore humanity in its riches and glory, as it was before Everything will unravel before the eyes of the gods Mankind will restore its own order We will not perish nor bend the knee We will rise again as equals. Without this duty my life is useless My sacrifice for the greater good of us all Hopefully won’t be for nothing. This destiny I burdened myself with Bringing clarity by word of the prophets The word of Teiresias The forgotten blind seer With his wisdom to our rescue To escape this horrendous misery Born as a man to protect his pride Assigned with a duty to rise again I am prepared to risk my life To restore the former order of god and men I have become the sought-after deserter they want me to be I have burdened myself with this paramount destiny Forgiving my sins to replenish humanity I need to run my own mission with reckless fatality Guided by fear and determination Witness my risks I’m taking with My descent into the abyss

Eternal Judgement 04:29
lyrics
It’s crowded on the bark Eternal screams clanging through the darkness Waiting to be debarked My eternal judgment which is lasting forever We are told to keep rowing Although my muscles are sore A coin as a sign of a burden of my affiliated ones Which at the same time poses a chance to us Those among us without currency awaited a destiny in the abyss of river Acheron Their screams are filled with bloodlust To endure this never-ending torture Swallowed by dark fluid, slowly surrounded by bitterness And the fog clears like the screams in my head Revealing our final destination to come To be deprived of our ability to act Hostage to death and its immobility Bound by our own destiny Everyone attending Their eternal judgment Our eternal judgment!

Past The Gate 04:04
lyrics
The gates are open No escaping I cannot bear this atmosphere any longer It drives me crazy The omnipresent death, smell of rotten flesh I can hear them scream No more honor to be established No more choice, no more will Everyone is struck with the same inevitable fate Forever to suffer or forever to live in riches This fine line that divides us all The thirst of blood is dominating their thoughts They no longer are But serve as phantoms of Hades The gate of the dead protected by a three-headed hound A border between life and death Just a mere shadow of their original appearance Forgotten everything they ever knew Only living in pain and agony This monstrous creature guarding the exit of the ones that once came as men Devouring all men who try to escape Forced on this one-way path Free us Help us from this violent misery Teiresias our only hope and savior Guide us to the long-sought secret A gifted sword to slay our god and oppressor I hope I do not lose my mind before my duty is done

The Revelation 06:03
lyrics
Oh my almighty priest of Zeus Our savior at last Tell me what destiny awaits us all Help us in this dark time With a determined heart you came here before me even enduring this awful place to devour you once and for all Let my words be your guidance I make sure my intentions will not be forgotten Trust me in restoring the previous order I am the one to fulfill your prophecy No obstacles shall be in my path Enlighten me what needs to be done and I will do as you say You shall not Forget my precious words With patience a man can see over his suffering During my visions I saw a small ember that’s glowing bright, shining bright in the dark Forever be hidden away from humanity To be reclaimed for its sympathy Tell me where I find this spark It may as well cost my life to do so You will have no part in this doing It will be one of Zeus own rivals He will suffer for our kind's destiny He will suffer for our kind's destiny Have I come all this way just to wait for someone to act? Has all this been for nothing? You owe me at least his name! Remember my words! There shall be a day where humans are able to inflame a mighty fire A small stolen ember right from the Olympus stolen out of benevolence A small stolen ember right from the Olympus Stolen by Titan Prometheus Tell me where I find this spark It may as well cost my life to do so All hail Prometheus and his mighty foresight! The deceiver of worlds I have come all this way to be rejected at last Trapped in this omnipresent void You will have no part in this doing It will be one of Zeus own rivals He will suffer for our kind's destiny He will suffer for our kind's destiny Lost my hope to proceed any further destined by this crushing Revelation

Denial 05:05
lyrics
This bold truth nearly tore him to pieces His soul fractured into a thousand shards A disgrace of humanity Was I useless this whole time? A false hero in history? Drowning in the void My entire dissipation of life Tortured by my own despair My knees bend under the burden that lasts on my shoulders Mixed emotions distorting reality Concerned by his thoughts, disturbed by the touch of a hand on his back A frightening apparition of Hades The lord of the underworld Gazing into his dead eyes Where are thou going at such a great haste I witnessed your plans against my beloved brother No one will harm him No more betrayal Who do you think you are, treason to your gods? Oh my mighty lord It is not what you think it is My intentions are different Standing before me with lies, should have never come close to the sun Seduced by a powerful light Nothing but chaos in the hands of those who don't understand Chaos In the hands of those who don't understand Chaos

Darkness Prevails 06:21
lyrics
I am in pain I am in agony Reviving one of my loved ones Is the ultimate punishment for one to bear Eliminating every drop of me that's left in this empty shell My wife brought back by the lord of death To suffer for his own amusement Lives rejoined An unwanted reunion Forever to rot in hell The Tartarus knows no mercy No one to be forgiven No one to be redeemed No one to be remembered The mere idea of being tortured among these helpless creatures with nothing but my skin Help me I won't suffocate by fear of my destiny Free me Such that the pain goes away and this ends Have I failed my mission? Is this what I deserve? After all I’ve been through In the end to confess my defeat Branded by the burning flame inside my heart Lost all will to keep on living Forgotten who I am Reminded who I once was Darkness prevails My consciousness is slowly fading away into the distant screams around me Remaining a lifeless shell of a decent man Mocked by my own pride that guided me Help me Free me End me Forget me Darkness Prevails Darkness Prevails My eyes are blinded by the mist of despair My hearing drowning in the screams of hell I am in pain I am in agony Reviving one of my loved ones Is the ultimate punishment for one to bear Eliminating every drop of me that's left to Help me I won't suffocate by fear of my destiny Free me Such that the pain goes away and this ends Help me I have given up my hope to succeed Free me No more will to keep on living Have I failed my mission Is this what I deserve After all I’ve been through In the end to confess my defeat Branded by the burning flame inside my heart Lost all will to keep on living Forgotten who I am Reminded who I once was Darkness prevails

Blazing Flames 04:58
lyrics
For he is known for his wit and intelligence An ingenious plan exploiting the foolish joy of the gods A simple apple to fool them all Just enough time for a crime to be committed A crime that has been long awaited The creator himself showing signs of a bond between him and humanity The fire that has been stolen from its pillar Take it back The fire that has been stolen from its pillar Take it back No regrets I will not tolerate For them to misbehave This is unbearable humans have to take it all Humans have to take it all This is unbearable To provoke distract them all Suffocate Their beliefs and right the wrongs To provoke Distract them all Suffocate Suffocating their beliefs An obvious suspect because of our differences Disobeying an all-powerful god The fear to get punished for eternity Being forgotten by those who I’ll save Reversing this divine fallacy No one else to blame Trust me in restoring Our blazing flames Our blazing flames

Righteous Punishment 05:29
lyrics
Chained in here forever Punished for my sins A daily fight against the eagle of Zeus which shall last for eons with no sign of his mercy Standing for a sign of betrayal here in flesh and bones My treachery everyone knows I can sense the danger that has yet to come Misled by their complement made out of dishonesty A godly present unwrapped Gifted to my brother Epimetheus the lord of hindsight who does not understand our misery Total catastrophe Yet to come Can’t avoid Not recognizing what he’s brought into the world My advice declining gifts from Zeus not taken A slumbering danger among human beings A box never meant to be opened at all A burdening gift of curiosity that can destroy everything we fought for Destroy everything we fought for Lost all feeling for my senses The mist of despair slowly fading away Preparing for our impending doom Revealing the view on our ticking clock Forever be hidden away from humanity Lost all control to determine our destiny To suffer for eternity and beyond My punishment to atone for my sins
