The Fall Of Asterion

Kingborn

Carving my soul through the flesh

While this void is still breeding the sin

I'm torn apart by the vile executor

As we're torn apart as the executors kill

Concealed in seas of perdition

Where the mother eternity has drowned

In the shade of this black superstition

The King of bastard seed's destined to burn

Like the bridges of Athens

Time of oppression and decay!

My vengeance will burn

Injustice and sorrow!

Are scorching the land of the slaves

Son of the dark

Lord of the solitude

On the throne of his will

Derangement of a soul

The seed of fears

Born as a king of despair

Bless thee who'll find sacred weapons

That will lead him to victory

Dominating the leverage of reason

He rises killing the brigands of will

Sinis is waiting the vagabond

Lacerating the wisdom with the trees

Skiron's feeding the giant turtle

While Procrustes is ripping his limbs

Glimpses of glory appearing in my dreams

As I rest under this holy sky

Condemned! The land of the fathers

As I stand before the eternal demise

Under the stone lay the arms

While my fate is revealing to me

Looking up at the throne of my father

I'll follow the path that will lead to the sea

Cursed is the breed of my body

Thousands of drops that fall to the ground

Now I know for the sake of the deities

The king of coward seed's sentenced to burn

Minotaur (Wrath Of Poseidon)

Caught in this fort of disgrace for a god's oppression

These corridors behold the disease

As I am feeding my guts with the flesh of the race of abomination

I collect the souls I bury beneath

Forever tied by the arms of the desolation,

A stain for the sovereign of greed

And I was born like a prince, wickedly raised in devastation

I dishonoured the descent with my seed

Kill the king!

For all the treason he concealed in deceit

Gods kill for me and bless my pain

For the monstrosity that I had to feel

Gods kill the king!

Cast in shadow,

Forgotten and lost forever,

Eternal slave,

Prince of darkness

I rule on nothing

Hail, hail!

Asterion, Lord of Suffering

Torn by the lust for control he betrayed Poseidon

The reckoning arises from the sea,

For it's the land of the pain,

Falling for the guilt of the despotic Minos,

Cursed shall be the name for the rest of the days.

Blood from the womb of the queen

Pouring like a rainfall,

A stain for the land of the king

The ghastly sperm of the beast fecundates like an infection

I, dishonoured, the abominated beast

Kill the king!

For all the treason he concealed in deceit

Gods kill for me and bless my pain

For the monstrosity that I had to feel

Gods kill the king!

Cast in shadow,

Forgotten and lost forever,

Eternal slave,

Prince of darkness

I rule on nothing

Hail!

Asterion, Lord of Suffering

Elegy

Cast by the dark embrace

The night is captivating me like a siren

Seductive voice of my frustration

Refusing wisdom, feeding my dread

Twisting all the warps of my insanity

As I am scorched in a slow decay

Demonic courtiers torment my spirit with misleading speech

To let the faith of the one sadly crawl before the deceiver

And make the pain rip the soul of the unbridled sleeper

Gods! Partake my grave endeavor

Gods liberate the force giving me a new vigor

Gods! Unleash the rage so unfairly enslaved

Lead me to this leech draining innocence

Concealed between the bleeding walls of my suffering

And bless the sword that's gonna slay

The beast that I confined into myself

Surpassing all the edges forever

Bound to this labyrinth

Selene is tricking me

Misled by darkness 'n' tainting lies of my mortality

Can't find the passage to my own rise

Enforcing all the gates of duality

I let my days falter in decline

Invaders of my shelter

Becoming stronger in my hearth and driving me to madness

They dominate like a storm with a raging power

And burn the core, lacerate, the forsaken hero

Grace of the gods for one that will live forever and find the secret of a scar!

Cold through my flesh is the blade of my abysmal vengeance

The dagger lacerates my neck while I'm feeling conscious

The muscle's pushing through my veins

Red lymph that from my new mouth come outside

Like words I never told you

Gods take this prayer of my last tragic epilogue

Concealed between the bleeding walls was my suffering

And bless the sword that's gonna slay

The beast that I confined into myself

To transmigrate and live forevermore

Towards The Sun

The draining path of existence

With all our burdens to bring

As fathers dream in frustration

The sons slowly've drowned in disease

Is this reflection of sorrow that brings us all down to the hole?

Is this fulfillment of hollow that sadly is emptying our souls?

So we spread our wings like falcons

But we are too tied to this earth

Locked in this fortress of treason we wait

The coming of the glorious day

Shall we be ready to face this?

Or will we turn on the other side?

When time will come for us to spread those wings

And start moving out limbs to fly!

Towards the sun!

I see the splendor of the light again

Show me father the secrets of flight!

Swear it now, you will let me soar

Thrown in the void and carried by fate

I'd rather fall than standing enslaved

Looking down at the vastness of sea

Mesmerized by water reflecting me

And our souls forever lost

Now will reach the stars and deliver us

>From Poseidon, the God of the Sea

This unfolding release confears immortality

Rush of deliverance, from those who wanna seize

Outrageous irreverence, to those who wanna lead

I cut through the air, carried by dreams

I'd rather fall than closing my wings

Looking up at the greatness of sky

Left behind the labyrinth of compromise

And my soul forever gone, Now it flies too far

And will stand before

Mighty Helios, the God of the Sun

The unmerciful one, I'm burning forevermore!

Gone too far

Falling down from your dream

Your wings' burning on the sun

All your deeds they'll be sung like a warning for the world to see

Warpledge

Tearing acts to destroy

They're breeding a slaughter of the mortal race

With the foolish right to immolate

It's bleeding life on this soil

Inglorious existence is condemned to crawl

All the rage of the slayer unfolds as King Minos

Calls the flesh, tribute of souls!

On the stone lay the fourteen!

For my father's oppression

Dictated by who deceives and depraves

Under the weight of salvation I bend, my fear's

Calling from the island

The screaming silent voice

Forever

This curse endlessly damnates the fourteen sons of Greece

I, before the sea

Know there's only one vision in me

The solution is clear

No more enclosed in disease

And finally free from all fears

Towards those lands

Where the glory solemnly descends

On my luminous spear

If I will fall, the black sails'll appear!

Bound, on the enemies' field

The screams of the innocents resonate

Where the candor's food for the beast

Down in this fortress of sacrifice

Conceived by the one who detested the gods

I am destined to stumble and fall as King Minos

All the ones who will try

To step into this place they will not return

They'll be crumbled by the darkest lord

They'll fall

Pathfinder

I'm prevaricated, enslaved within my fears

Misplaced by sorrow and despair

Can't betray my seal

I must engage the reflection of Pasifae's guilt

The seed of Knossos dominates

This realm of desperate keens

Gates of terror

Shine before my shield

'Cause I'm born to become a hero

To defeat or be torn? Whatever!

I deliberate, to hush my inner screams

She rips the darkness of my thoughts

Can't deny this deal

I won't get lost through this maze

Holding hard this thread

For I will slay the shame of Crete

My path will lie ahead

God Poseidon

I emerge from seas of tears

And march towards my fears

The son of vengeance calls

Fall is the source of my victory

As there's no force without a fight

So let me stride on this path that will lead me to the end

Of a twisted life, that stands before my eyes

Now, next to the core

I see the longhorned shade

His smelling breath corrupts the air

He's growling with disdain

A vacillate when I see this abnormal being

But with your help I will be safe

I can find the strength to kill

The Fall Of Asterion

I'll stand before my inner slime, mirror of disgrace

To look into the deepest void where the evil lies

For I was lost into these spires

A maze of self-destructive torment of the reason

And now I know there's something more crawling through my veins

A voice resounds between these walls like a leading trace

The golden light of self-awareness revealing me the mug of the one I hate

This wrecker's chasing me forever

Grace of gods is forgotten!

You left behind all the purest breeds

Guide me to my own vengeance!

Betrayed!

And for so long my spirit faded

Through all the catastrophic matters of my existence

And all the steps I had to take for my escape

Were deeply marked by all the hate I spit against

My own creator, the great deceiver

Into these eyes, now blaze the red flames of my rise

And burn the pain, all the uncertainties are washed away

Facing the beast that I despise, into the fight!

I couldn't see the way to fall and rise again

To change the destiny of a reign

Condemned to sink into a neverending war

Of sacrifice and horror

It has been dictated by the cowardice of men!

Now I see the matter of killing this intruder

That has been stealing all my strength to dim my pureness

I'm taking back my role, I put an end to it all

Using my bare hands to take his life away!

I stand before the guilty one as it falls from grace

I see his eyes fading away, where the evil lied

And I realize for the first time:

What I have faced's the darkest side of my existence

And now I know there's something more beating with my heart

A voice resounds inside my soul like a piercing sharp

The golden wire of mortal fate's revealing me the liberating path

To leave behind this pain forever

Epilogue

Oh,

Bright son of destiny

Bringer of light in this darkness

Beautiful prince

Now take my hand again

Forever tied by the thread of our fate

Now, we're together again

Cold and desolate is the nature of my soul

Forever indifferent to the screams of shadows

Lying deep in the void

So give it up

Now face the score

In the heart of the chosen one

There's no deliverance

I have to face all this scorn

Staining my own land with useless tears

Look in the eyes of the one

Feeding himself with my deepest fears

Oh,

I'll touch your heart again

Waken the cold lonely dreamer

I, will illuminate your soul

Wounded by emptiness

Please take me far from this land of pain

Now, on the waves of the sea

I had to face all this scorn

Staining my own land with useless tears

Look, now I am too tired to fight

And run away from this filling light

Nightmares and shadows

Together we'll drown in the sea

Believe me!

You'll walk by my side

Under Black Sails

After the greatest negation

Time has come for my rise

Resolution obtained by the chosen one

Unbound bringer of light

Ruler of Athens

No respect for the wights

All the legions will hail and my force'll prevail

On the enemies

Terrorize with pain, annihilate the weak now!

Instigate despair, purify with fire

Under my iron command

Forever the vile'll decline

Victory! We shout under this pitch black sky

We're darkened by Dyonisus' lymph

We celebrate this glory day

Forever chanted shall be our own ventures

Hail! Hail! Sons of the gods we sail

Towards the shores of endeavors we are one!

Cruel is the fate of the conceited core of man

Under the black sails we stand

Blessed by maximum glory now it's time for revenge

I despise all the weaks, born to be king

Adversary of fate

Writing this hateful story of forsaking and pain

Leading me to the void as ego dictates

Cut the thread with old days

To become the new emperor

There's no space for the fears

She will wander alone drowning in tears

There in Naxos she'll be towards the father's land

Now unfold the sails wide

Where I take my owed throne, vested with crown

Time is coming to

Labyrinth
