CAPÍTULO I – OPHIUSA

Instrumental

CAPÍTULO II – TIERRA DE SERPIENTES

These lands are cursed
Forever and ever
Ruled by blood and fire
Dominated by the enemies of the reason
Dead monarchs flaunt crowns of death
Putrid – They refuse to leave their thrones
As they contemplate eternal void

CAPÍTULO III – PREDICABAN CON VOCES SISEANTES

Land of the sunset
Land of snakes
Its history is sang with hissing
Through narrow paths
Creep their deeds
And so are drawn
The grooves of its history

CAPÍTULO IV – TIERRA DEL ATARDECER

Praise me or be destroyed
Don´t you see I care for you?

Iron and steel will make you understand
Claim the masters of the faith that overcome
Iron and steel will make you understand
By fire your sins will be atoned
For some is pride, for some is shame…
But pride´s just something and shame´s the same

CAPÍTULO V – HIJOS DE LAS SERPIENTES Y DE LA NOCHE


Still their preaching roams the lands
Their hissing freeze the blood
They fly flags while the folk starve
They sell to be honorable is to obey
They claim their names are the ones to be protected
Liars, killers of the true heritage

CAPÍTULO VI – UN FANTASMA RECITA TRAS LA NIEBLA

The truth was slayed
The lands were burnt
But the truth slayed will rise again

A ghost speaks behind the haze
These lands are cursed
These lands are dead
A ghost speaks behind the haze
Only soil, water, time and wisdom can reclaim them

CAPÍTULO VII – INVADIDA POR MUCHOS – CONQUISTADA POR NADIE

Owned by no one…
…Many will come to reign
Owned by no one…
…Many will fall
Owned by no one…
…Many will be defeated by time
Owned by no one…
…But past, present and future
Owned by no one…
…But woods, deserts, the winds and the seas
Owned by no one…
…But light and darkness
Owned by no one …
…But everlasting sunrise
Owned by no one…Owned by no one
