Lyrics Chapter Two: The Resistance [Full Album 2022] by Ancient Mastery

Tracklist: 01. 00:00 Entering Valdura We have arrived After passing the gate Through the forest of lies And the mountains of fate Come with me, to glory, to see what's ahead Our hardship, is over, we are here Look upon these lands Can you feel the glory of life? Look beyond those hills Can't you see our quest is done? Into the light! The sun is rising in the east Black smoke arises and we see The towers of Tordal The dome of the king Within these walls We'll bear our fate Our ancestors' stories Our forefathers' dreams We're here to live them Their guilt to redeem The sun is rising in the east The smoke is clearing and we see The clang of the bell Cuts through the air The sounds of the city Soon we'll be there Come with me, to glory, to see what's ahead Our hardship, is over, we are here Look upon these lands Can you feel the glory of life? Look beyond those hills Can't you see our quest is done? Into the light! 02. 08:28 City Of Broken Dreams We passed the southern gate, no guards, just misery The stench of rotten vermin with a sense of tragedy Music without passion, eyes without a soul What have we gotten into, what is this hellish hole No one seems to notice, no one seems to care No one breaks the silence, the shock is too much to bear But there’s an open door, to shelter from distress And we step inside, into the tangling mess Welcome to the city of broken dreams Welcome to well that stares back into your eyes You’ve travelled far, still there’s nothing left to see Than piles of stranded souls and what we’ve tried to be So, have a seat and tell me about your past Where are your from and why’d you think you’d last? You want riches? Because there’s nothing left to find Than those forgotten souls the gods have left behind So welcome to the void, the stories you heard they ain’t true Nobody’s waiting for you Welcome to the dregs, welcome to our way of life, so toughen up and survive When have we been forsaken? How have we been mislead? When did we find salvation and traded it for dread? What shall be done? Is this our way? The ashen sun, keeps us at bay What can we do To ease the pain? Who are the madmen? Who are the sane? Welcome to the city of evil men Welcome to the well that corrupts your heart and soul To built the towers that we paid with our blood We feed the soil with bodies buried in the mud Welcome to the city of daring men Welcome to the city that will never take our pride We won’t kneel, that has never been our way We rise up and resist to live another day So Tabe leads the way, she has a place for us We met her just in time, what can we do but trust People all around show her reverence And she gives them hope, that all the pain will end 03. 19:54 To The Riverbank "The roots go deeper than you think The trees grow higher than your eyes can see And still you wonder where it leads Just give in to the call of life And if you're out here alone Don't be afraid of the dark Spirits are with you tonight Gone with the first morning light But until then you will be Filled with the otherworld's bliss Freed from the chains you run with the wind tonight" After countless turns We found the hideaway Straight faces everywhere We don't feel welcome here Next to the fireplace The bard sings her songs Her voice can't lift the spirits Heavy hearts all around "Will we suffer here forever more? Will they elect whom we've voted for? It is time for social equity We shall stand in solidarity Look around and tell me what you see Just look and tell me who's the enemy Who's the one that took Ismina's life? Our fate is not just to survive" "The election is tonight For the first time we were free to choose We will get what we deserve Pyros will get its own voice Whenever the council will meet We'll be there, you shall see Justice will come for the ones Who let Ismina starve in her cell Now we march to the river of Myr and rejoice" "Let's go my fellow strangers You can rest when you are dead You shall witness history And be a part of the spinning thread" Through the backyards and the alleyways Hooded statures skitter through the maze We're a part of them and don't know why What's our task, why did Ismina die? Men and women join us as we speak A huge procession heads to the east We don't know whom we are marching for But that's fate which knocks on our door 04. 27:24 The Uprising We are gathering close to the bridge Thousands have come to bear witness to this Firsthand, as the sun sets King's troops are guarding the stage As the herald begins to engage attention So the time has come We are ready to hear the result Crimson flags are set up around the crowd The tension boils "My dear people of Pyros", he says "Who will be on the council for you? The count is done." "General Ino it is" And it turns oh so quiet You could hear a pin drop Puzzled faces around us But there's a murmur That turns into chants "Those bloody deceivers You won't get away with this" The crowd starts pushing towards The ring that's been formed by the guards "Injustice, you will pay" Tabe screams: "Towards the bridge Towards the coward's lair, we won't submit" Then swords are drawn, young blood is shed Ear-splitting cries and the first protestor dies 05. 37:08 Eternal Night And our weapons are drawn We're trapped inside the cauldron And they may tear us apart But that raging river means certain death We will find a way To get to the rescuing bay All we need is faith that the morning sun returns So we can wake up from this dream All we need is here right within our daring hearts You can take our lives But the spirits remain One by one we are falling Who's down is lost, squashed by the boots of the law Like lambs to the slaughter, like sheep vs. wolves No breath for screaming out loud We will find a way To get to the rescuing bay All we need is faith that the morning sun returns So we can wake up from this dream All we need is here right within our daring hearts You can take our lives But the spirits remain "As the night is ending And the rivers turn red We can stop pretending And give in to the dread Many before us died trying Maybe their death was in vain That is what's most terrifying No single witness remains Deep inside I know it's not the end Deep inside I feel it coming Whatever impends Destiny is not yours to define So better hide Now look at all of our brothers And all the sisters we lost I will promise you vengeance It doesn't matter the cost Deep inside I know it's not the end Deep inside I feel it coming, Whatever impends Destiny is not yours to define So better hide We're turning the tide" We will find a way To get to the rescuing bay All we need is faith that the morning sun returns So we can wake up from this dream All we need is here right within our daring hearts You can take our lives But the spirits remain 06. 45:16 The Resistance "This is the song of our people Waiting to be thrown into war Ready to die for no reason And have our bodies washed ashore This is the song of our people We sing till the morning comes When the death bell is tolled And the blood runs cold And we ride on the fields of bliss" There's a sudden flash of light From the opposing riverside And the troops start to slump down Blueish shadows all around "How can it be that they came back After they swore not to attack Anyone within these walls Until the final curtain falls" Confusion from within the ranks Mayhem at the riverbanks We find a way to break through Thanks to the order of the black & blue "This is the song of our people Waiting to be thrown into war Ready to die for no reason And have our bodies washed ashore This is the song of our people We sing till the morning comes When the death bell is tolled And the blood runs cold And we ride on the fields of bliss" They fall back across the bridge They leave a thousand bodies and souls with it And the first light of the new day Shows us the horrors and the price we had to pay "Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters we have lost we won't forgive, nor forget the massive cost you're in a better place, now you are free we will make you proud, you shall see!"
