lyrics

Sharp tongues of fire brightening the ancient truth
of the smart cheater whose flight ended in doom.
His strong need for wisdom unable to sooth,

with his light wood this world no more to assume;
many the sins his shadow has now to burn,
many more the lives the eighth circle consumes;

he proudly passed the threshold, desired to learn
shares now eternal flame, could nothing his blood;
heavenly punished, he did not want to turn.

The master speaking, with the man and his bud,
I'm not allowed, sons of the Land, the great one.
Tells his story: him, his fellows, the sea flood.

“Brothers! How many quests have you seen? The sun
is now setting on the so hardly reached west.
Surely you won't give up before it is done...”

Heart burning as the flame which now gives him nest:
“Consider your spawn! Not made to live like beasts
but to seek knowledge and virtue at its best!”

Knowledge.

The band is currently working on their second release. ... more
