1. EKLEIPSIS (DEVOURER OF GODS)

Blood shall be shed
Nothing will endure
Darkness falls upon us
Behold the devourer of gods
Our souls belong to you
You feed our inner life
Prophecies were true
Darkness falls upon us

In ancient manuscripts
Our ancestors wrote about
How light faded away
Eaten by the devourer of gods

Ekleipsis is its name
Nature prevails
No light on earth
Kneel down and pray for your lives
Fear the supremacy from above

How long will this threat linger?
Is it a punishment divine?
Our father has forsaken us

May this day be written in our blood
Never to forget
And so, understand how to coexist
And so, be one with mother earth
And so it shall end
A new dawn arises
So celebrate life´s new beginning
For the wheel keeps on turning

2. BLOODLINE OF THE WOLVES

Living like a pack, united like a clan
His bloodline rests here, aswell as their tribe
A place to be called home, where protection and support
are foundations deep and old, like roots below the ground
But time has drawn ideas, revelations to his mind…about
The self-proclaimed leaders, who claim their right to reign
Whose truth is the one and only, who´ll put down those who disagree
A power in the shadow, that destroys and slays

LED BY THE SUNSHINE
RUN AWAY FROM HOME
CAST OUT INTO THE MOUNTAINS
TO LIVE ON YOUR OWN

Your doubts will become you a threaten and dangerous for the clan
Your blood will be demanded , like a scream of mob´s wrath
Their banners will be held high, to be praised above all
The banners will cover the sun, to blind and fear them all
Ignorance will justify sacrifices
Your dishonour will no longer be allowed
Behold the sword of sacrifice, calling out for blood
Infidels will be destroyed, so is the word of the gods

“At night the torches will burn
Our swords will gleam in the night
Pursuit and kill the infidel
These are my commands”

LED BY THE SUNSHINE
RUN AWAY FROM HOME
CAST OUT INTO THE MOUNTAINS
TO LIVE ON YOUR OWN
AS LONG AS THE SUN WILL SHINE
AND THESE LANDS GRANT ME FOOD AND HOME
I´LL LIVE PROUD TO BE AN OUTCAST
AT PEACE WITH MYSELF

3. SOARING

Reborn in flames
Awaken by fire
Reborn from your ashes
Soaring higher
What once was dead
It will reborn
What once was alive
Now´s dead and gone

Time keeps on turning
Golden bird of fire
Eternity´s companion
Wise and noble light
Perennial witness
Fed by the twilight
Walk among the ages
Many praise your saga

Not to be tamed
But to fly free
Throught the skies of ages
And the golden rays of light

Of healing tears
And eternal life
Of reincarnation
And glorious power
Reborn in flames
Awaken by fire
Reborn from your ashes
Soaring higher

4. SOL SISTERE

Sol sistere
The sun stands still
Solstice
May the new season begin

Let´s celebrate the day
When summer time is here
Victourious marchs the sun
Throughout the sky

Tonight we´ll light big fires
To honour thee
Hail and welcome be
This new season that brings
The sun caresses once again

Let´s celebrate the day
When summer time is here
Let´s cherish it
For as long as it lasts

Sol invictus
May the winter be received
Night shall prevail
But afterwards
Longer days will come

Winter time
Time to stare deep within
Ask yourself and think
Landscapes of freezing snow and naked trees

What is to die
It shall reborn
When a new season will come

Sol sistere
The sun stands still
Solstice
May the new season begin

5. THRIVE

Sounds of the forest
Wind blowing strong
Rain falling down
Breeze of the rivers
Cries in the distance
Howls of the wolves
Owls hunting at night
Scent of life and death

Cycles completed
Time stands still
Forwards and backwards
The land is fullfilled
No past or future
Seeds from the earth
Present and moment
Thrive

Sounds of the forest – Cycles completed
Wind blowing strong – Time stands still
Rain falling down – Forwards and backwards
Breeze of the rivers – The land is fullfilled
Cries in the distance – No past or future
Howls of the wolves – Seeds from the earth
Owls hunting at night – Present and moment
Scent of life and death – Thrive

Spring´s blossom
Summer´s heat
Autumn´s colours
Winter´s chill

6- SOL

Instrumental

7. A LEADER IN TIMES OF WAR

Night
Dark and silent
I hear my heart´s beats
Whispering to me…answers
When the time has come
And there´s no place to hide
Enough lives have been taken
Slaves will uprise

Empires
They are like insidious suns
Whose fate is to rise and to fall
And death means freedom
from slavery and pain
In a world
Where the rules shan´t change

When the sun will shine
Ride for your freedom
For there´s nothing to loose
But misery and pain
So, fight today
for tomorrow´s dream
In every man and woman´s heart
Shines bright this will

Day
Reckoning day
Chaos and thunder
Horror and fear
Swords and spears
Living or dying
World´s set on fire
By greed´s domain

Rise up
Fear not
Death or glory
Towards freedom
We shall rise
Gates of history
Open
for us
Tonight
We march
To be free

Rise up
Fear not
Death or glory
Towards freedom
We shall rise
Chains are
Broken
Blood gets
Colder
Bounds no
Longer
Tie us up

8. FATHER SUN, FATHER DRAGON

Solar dragon guarding us from the skies feeding us with his heat     
Father Sauel, give us strength, blind our enemies
We absorbed your might and carved it in stone
One circle and five waving rays
One circle and five serpents of fire

Firegod – Morningstar – Tore the darkness up by rising up

Give birth to Gaia our mother
We worship you - We stand loyal to you

Padre sol, padre dragón

Thee, stellar dragon, remaining from the dawn of times.
You have seen our births and so, when your flames get extinguished, we shall die

9. AEQUUS NOX

Living light – Rise up
From the eastern shores
Dying light – Fade Away
From the western shores

Northern lands
Receive this time
Spring´s embrace
Southern lands
Receive you then
Autumn´s kiss

Sings in the air
The life will come
Signs in the soil
Growing up
Day and night are all the same
Light and darkness dwell on earth

Signs in the earth
Falling leaves
Sings in the soil
Covering the ground
Embers in red and brown
Light and darkness
Aequus nox

Signs and embers
Light and darkness
Life´s balance
Night and day are all the same

10. PADRE

Awake
Breathe
Embrace the life
Open wide your eyes and see
Branches and trees being swung by the wind

Take your light to roam through the land
Far away
When darkness falls upon us
Enlighten our way

Padre, protect me from darkness
The brightest light that shines in ours of darkness
Father, oh glorious almighty
Source of light, feeding fire
Everlasting power

Bringer of seasons
Core of the earth
Ruler of harvests
Heart of life´s deeds
Tomorrow´s dream
Lord of every time
Everlasting fire
Spirit aflame
