Lyrics

At dawn the ships arrived, they sailed through seas and foreign skies
To bring another age in lands that needed no constraints
By the sign of the fire, all pagan gods were bleeding
To dispossess thousands years of wisdom and beliefs, oh
Think for a moment, fall astray
First step on sand, meant the last of their old life ("now it's done, all is gone"), so pure,
With dignity all was carried on "What's this fighting for?" "Disappearing sands, familiar voices Everytime I stare at the night inside us All the places I cherish darken Past memories are the only true consolation For what my eyes are forced to see"
The tears in her eyes were like rain come from the gloomiest cloud
Pushed back from their own homes, the germ of hate seized the heart
In a clear warm spring day, his spirit left the body
Alone she stood while the ravens flew away from ruins, oh "Far till sky unites with earth I'll hide you They cannot dig what's inside of us Far till sky unites with earth I'll hide you They cannot dig what's inside of us" "My life for you, despair on us, despair on us" [Solos: Jarpen / Aydan]
Think for a moment, fall astray
First step on sand, meant the last of their old life ("now it's done, all is gone"), so pure,
With dignity all was carried on "What's this fighting for?" "Disappearing sands, familiar voices Everytime I stare at the night inside us All the places I cherish darken Past memories are the only true consolation For what my eyes are forced to see"
