In the Shadow of the Empire Lyrics

Album: Cenotaph

Shadow of the empire

80er Teil -1-

Deep in the mainland

Our future awaits

The bear splits the atoms

To enlight our faith

We’re waiting in line

Just to witness it all

To harvest a force

That is our curtain call

Ref:

And all of our dreams

And all of our prayers

Are left in the dark

Beneath the red star

And all of our lives

What we aim to be

Our glorious nation

Will last eternally

Theme

All we were

All we will be

Lies in the hands

Of the force  in front of me

On this day

We plant the seed

To nurture earth

With infinite energy

Ibiza Teil

SAMPLE

What have I done to prevent it?

To change the course of time

As history repeats it all again

As I receive the party’s last orders

To keep calm and deny it all

As the cloud passes our borders

Spreads from the kremlin to the Berlin wall

Shall I remain calm towards the end – for the sake of a brighter day?

Or shall I tear down the day for an endless night  - to comfort my fear of light?

As I fight my will and sanity in defence against their voice

May their darkness be a part of me – as I turn the course of fate

Failed – their vision’s lost- alone in their fortress they’ll pay the cost

Futile – their last attempt – We shall arise to bring their end

(1)

Of lies and truth your stories tell

Of empires lost and found as well

And how you dreamt and how you fought

For the sake of the higher thought

We have travelled all so far

Centuries ago through times of war

And heavens wait for those so kind

And hell awaits for those unblind

Ref.

A thousand deafening voices scream

Through storms of lies they shall redeem

Look behind the front of rain

In the shadow of the empire we’ll reign

Use their fear as a crown on your head

Relinquish mankind for the sake of yourself

Neither heaven nor hell you shall fear

The rise of our empire is near

(2)

As the iron curtain fell – all our hopes fell as well

What once stood in unity – a crumbled torn community

We are powerless and weak – dethroned and pushed from our peak

A shattered dream of leader ship – the leaders left the sinking ship

The flames give birth to ashen butterflies

Imago from the kindling paper

Last words – now ascending to the skies

Only visible for our creator

Blame malfunction or the others – we must set fire to the truth

Tell their fathers and their mothers the men were brave every recruit

Mother Russia weeps for now – crimson tears of shame and failure

No one shall know the cause the how – the loss of the ship outweighs each sailor

Ref.

A thousand dying voices scream

Through storms of radiation beams

Look behind the fallout’s stains

In the shadow of the empire we’ll reign
