Nearby the ships, the armies have met
For a new onslaught far from the high walls
A torch is carried, the fire lets
No kind of retreat once the first flame falls
Bitter defeat again switches sides
Last hope of the greeks is waiting afar
The screaming fray engulfs like a tide
The one fallen under fellow's arms
Now he's back, enraged
Crimson blood will drench the soil
Soon he'll pour his cruel revenge
Upon the plain of Troy
So cloak your pain with rage
Fling a blade over despair
For the last battle to wage
Let fury lead warfare
No time to mourn
The revenge needs no tears
Of ire adorned
Unleash the baneful spear
No more inspired by the wish for praise
Thrown in the fire, as the many slayed
Dragging the corpse, so fiercely tough
Despite all the blood shed
This will never be enough
To behold the trojan dead
Painful distress still dwelling in his heart
Bloody vengeance has not quenched his wrath
As the mourning city awaits
Crossing the hallowed gate
An old man hauls his gift, unseen
To the bane of his kin
Here they are, the king, the warrior
Once they were the mightiest of theirs
Now on pathetic fate, they cry
Their beloved ones are lost, they died
Shared sorrow and crushing grief
Forgiveness rules, and rage is sheathed
Fame, hatred, blood and fire
None remains but a smoking pyre

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself

A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan
