lyrics

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
