[I) The Vision And The Promise]
|
|
In the city of immortals
|
a scream broke the silence
|
it was a seer and he saw in
|
his dreams
|
his beloved city of eternal life
|
collapsing around him
|
and its people trodden by
|
a mighty army
|
The mad seer retold his vision
|
to the king
|
so they gathered the mightiest
|
warriors across the land
|
they promised them entrance
|
in their eternal city
|
in exchange that they turned back
|
the vision of the...

|
Army of the dead <i>[4 times]</i>
|
|
[II) Promise Denied]
|
|
As the wizard summons ancient
|
powers commanding thunders
|
and lightning
|
the swords of the warriors on the
|
battleground are shining in
|
the sun
|
soon the battle rages on
|
weapons are drawn in anger
|
the warcries echo throughout
|
the field
|
the invaders meet their doom
|
|
But the king and the seer betrayed
|
the warriors
|
and the armguard was hidden
|
beyond the gates
|
a cloud of arrows obscured the
|
sun as they entered the city
|
the promise of immortality has
|
been denied
|
|
[III) Prophecy Fullfilled]
|
|
Sun shines the morning brings
|
new life
|
a new day of hope and happiness
|
yesterday is far away and years
|
go by,fear goes away
|
life goes on inside the city
|
and peace will last for eternity
|
|
But rising from the earth came the
|
true vision
|
the mad seer had seen so long ago
|
prophecy fullfilled:
|
The army of the dead
|
|
[IV) Army Of The Dead]
|
|
Holy gift a ritual of seer
|
destruction
|
hunting their prey,cruel in their
|
desire for vengeance
|
the dead warriors rise from
|
their graves
|
take what was promised then
|
was denied:
|
the gift of immortality
|
|
[V) Doomed City]
|
|
and the sentence must be passed
|
curse are your vicious lies
|
in ashes the Eternal City
|
must fall
|
so let the truth be told
|
the Ivory towers are
|
crumbling down
|
the Golden doors crushed to
|
the ground
|
once a great City of Immortal
|
is now the city of the...
|
[chorus]
|
Army of the dead <i>[4 times]
