Lyrics to Priest Of Styria [The Best Heavy / Melodic Metal Album] by Ancient Empire

Tracklist: 01. 00:00 Immortal On the road in this broken flesh Immortal soul fighting to the death Waves of steel flash before my eyes Born to be king, I will never die The sun brings a new day Will the light be my end? The bodies fall at the end of my blade Their blood finds a new path And its river leads the way To a desert fortress Deserted at first sight Long dead pillars of stone? Or just scars from endless night? A vision rises in the distance A city long forgotten On through the gate Lies a palace of jade In the shadowed entrance All is silent in these darkened halls As I stare into a faded memory Immortal soul, a titan on land and seas Waves of steel alive in my mind Born to be king, I will never die A vision rises in the distance A city long forgotten On through the gate Lies a palace of jade Within these walls I will be immortal! 02. 05:08 Beyond The North Wind Coming after the sinking of Atlantis Before the dawn of current man In the lands to the far north Comes a child battle born Fight with fire Fight with raging steel Beyond the north wind In the lands of Cimmeria So begins the tale of a warrior Blackened eyes and deathly cold stare A wandering lust through the ancient empire From the shores of Kush, across the western sea Fight with fire Fight with raging steel Beyond the north wind We will stand Fight for your life Fight with raging steel Beyond the north wind In the land of Hyborea 03. 09:10 Priest Of Stygia On the shores of the river Styx The desert wind blows fierce In this land forgotten lies echo in the tombs A dark priest emerges from the stone Preaching the word of set On a cloudless night he burns his word upon the earth They speak of him in whispers Protector of the black ring Worshiping the god of storms A life born in destitution Abuse and greed Now holds the power of Acheron Priest of Stygia A silhouette in the moonlight Being tested by the serpent god A vision in the night Using power stolen from a long lost kingdom On the steps of this crumbled tomb A serpent rises One last breath from a priest at his very end The blade cuts deep and sends him to the after world On a cloudless night he spills his blood upon the earth 04. 14:40 Island Of The King A name whispered on the wind A legend that can’t be lies A king for the ages A lost leader hiding Our wake it leads the journey Across this barren sea A journey for the future Of a fading mankind An isolated land, an island of no return Does our future lie here? … on the Island of the king The structure rises above A vast dark sea of clouds A silent foreboding But none will ever turn around A single chance to survive From a legend we have heard Our throne awaits a king And time it is our enemy A shadow rises As we approach the throne And a mighty king he stares As we kneel with blood and bone Everything we have is yours Every man willingly On this eve of extinction We come to this island across the sea 05. 20:50 Burn Another Liar All the endless lies From a lifetime of a sin A demon in human form Where does the human begin? The road to hate and greed Laid with the bones of the dead A path born from corruption We’ll light the books of history And burn another liar again On the eve of our destruction We dance to our epitaph A toast to our wealth As the cities start to burn The road to hate and greed Laid with the souls of the living The path bleeds from corruption We’ll light the books of history And burn another liar again 06. 25:48 Nine Worlds I remember the giants of old, Who gave me life in the days gone by Nine worlds I knew, now the seasons have changed They stood mighty beneath the sky I recall being reared by Jotuns in those days now long gone. If I look back, I recall A life now lost A memory still sings their song Of the runes of gods and giants The truth indeed I tell To nine worlds I came, to lie beneath The home where dead men dwell I can tell you the truth, the secrets of the earth and all the gods long gone… Hear my tale, you’ll know it well I remember the giants of old, Because I've journeyed well into the nine worlds yet so much has changed To the point of no return 07. 31:01 Every Man My Enemy A ravaged land I emerge to Surrounded by sounds of war A blood-stained sand all around Flesh of man ripped and torn A beach filled with the enemy I throw my hands in the air Now I’m a prisoner of war I now face the enemy’s stare As we rot in this cell I can’t accept this fate We’ll somehow find a way Thoughts of vengeance my only escape Born a soldier A heart of steel A darkness reflecting in my eyes A harsh reality I’ll die a soldier On land or sea I’ll fight until the death Every man my enemy 08. 35:07 Alone Against The Savage Hordes This life of mine, born out of shadowed hills Through clouds, the winds and ghosts that hide the sun Alone against the savage hordes The blade, the blood, the battle And now comes death, but here we stand And here we die The sun rarely shines on These slopes of somber hills And the lone wind that whispers Down these shadowed passes Brings the sound of enemies Their blood will stain these lands On hallowed ground, this sacred earth We make our stand A starving moon fills the night And gleams off the snow She suddenly appears before me A vision from years ago All at once they attack These warriors from a strange land But we stand with a heart of steel On the mountains of our fathers Alone against the savage hordes The blade, the blood, the battle And now comes death, but here we stand And here they die! Alone against the savage hordes
