expedition (into demise and victory) - epiclore lyrics

Loading...

part i: prologue

legion sleep, the night has fallen
every day it seems all hope will fade
dreams are torn and hearts are broken
i live these lines and write them day by day

and i hope one day we’ll find a sign of peace
and free our minds from the war
and leave all pain behind

too many promises we’ve heard along the way…
but for the hope that remains, we carry on
and await the day the shadow disappears
on that day the lords will fall

part ii: theme of the legion
(instrumental)

part iii: through the province

the last free town prevailed, but truth behind that triumph
was stranger than the rumors that we’d heard before
the head was found that day, it spoke to us and helped us
it seemed to want to lead us to the truth of all in the ruins…

we found the hidden tome and in the hour of darkness
i read about the future world in grief and woe
and from the city ruins we fled towards the mountains
into a tunnel that would help elude the foe

thus, from that day…
through the wind and snow we’re marching on
now on our way across the realm
(for the armies of the north)
where tyrant’s rule remains
(through the heathland striving forth in fury)
forgotten be his name…

and as we left the plains where freedom used to reign
we knew we might not see our home again
and as we journeyed through the province now in flames
we knew the quest had just begun…

two days underground… meanwhile it turned to the winter
we heard the fallen were approaching us before
and while the champions set out to free our captured leader
we were to seek the arm that once belonged to a fallen lord

through the wind and snow we’re marching on
now on our way across the realm
(for the armies of the north)
where tyrant’s rule remains
(through the heathland striving forth in fury)
forgotten be his name…

and as we left the plains where freedom used to reign
we knew we might not see our home again
and as we journeyed through the province now in flames
we knew the quest had just begun
oh, we knew the quest had just begun…

part iv: captured in stone

i can feel it’s spring again, we’re on the move once more
we have come down from the mountains, it’s the 18th year of the war
now we’re camped before the woodland realm and i feel a bit unease
when a scout emerges through the forest, crashing out from the trees

the fallen, drawing near…!
so it begins as their hordes appear
troops of war we’re able to withstand…
but the fallen lord has something else in hand

what took place before my eyes, still remains unknown
but as i raise my head and glance around me, we are captured in stone
there are signs of ancient evil beings once trapped within these walls
we refuse to share their fate, believe me, i can hear freedom call

yes, we will find a way out of this maze
time stands still as we roam these dismal caves
moments p-ss, a world shatters in his hand
and we will last in a future king’s command

there’s a structure made of skulls of men, a horrifying sight
atop, a tattered standard of an ancient might

“something tells me…
we’ll see it once more before the end”

yes, we will find a way out of this maze
time stands still as we roam these dismal caves
moments p-ss, a world shatters in his hand
and we will last in a future king’s command

part v: northbound
(instrumental)

part vi: before the gates of h-ll

on the road… i keep on writing
death and pain my weary hands convey
through the marsh we’ve roamed on fighting
now we’re here, our journey ends today

only hours until sunrise
the legion wait for their demise
as i turn my head i realize…
i stand before the gates of h-ll

part vii: finale (at the fortress)

here we wait for the dawn
and behold the fortress rise ahead
as the rays of the sunlight fall
the legion’s blood, it will be shed

i was chosen for the plan
and if we prevail we may survive
as the rest of the legion’s men
engage the fallen one last time

there’s a half-a-million foe
from here to the stronghold
not a single one of us survive

die is cast…
and twenty-hundred men fight to the last

meanwhile the standard we found in the caves
is brought to the field and before the fortress raised
and now we wait in the midst of the war
“keep in mind that he has been k!lled before…”

as the light fades away
from the heathland phantom’s way
in the end of all dismay
a new dawn will then await…

one display, one domain
different fates and different names
but the soul – just one – remains
a single everlasting flame
and every hero’s one and the same…

time goes by but some things last
and the standard did provoke his past
the field behind was turning red…
as we took his life and cut off his head
the legion lay in pools of blood
the battle’s lost but the war is won

the sun is rising from behind the fort…
by the sword we’ve turned the page of time
and the dark alliance of the lords:
shattered with the mastermind
now the one who seemed to rule them all…
his remains lie headless on the ground
and the rest of them will face downfall
for they will be hunted down…

all, behold the ruler of the fallen lords!
as foretold, we removed him from his throne
see his head in endless darkness fall
rule of death… it will reign this land no more

and after all the strife and after all the pain
at last there’s grace upon the realm again
we live our dream once more and now it’s on the wing
eulogy for the slain we sing…
(and see a rising star)

few percieve – a being disappears…
as we know, it’s taken place before
it is gone now – for a thousand years
we know what it’s waiting for…
as the comet rises, (it) takes new form
then returns to rule and rearray
the eternal cycle turns the world
as heroes rise… and fade away
