TIRIDA
You spread fear
Within your lands
Disappeared with a wave of the hand
You maintain
The pain their eyes
Inhumain you will soon pay the price
These mares
You chained them
Evil carriage
From another world
All prayers
When you condemn
To quench your rage
Until it burns
The master
Of this realm
Just a savage
I’ll make him learn
The treasure
Overwhelm
At every age
It’s absurd
Like birds released from their egg
Finally hatched
Like slaves they’re locked in the dark
Craving for light
They’re will be freed from you
No longer attached
They will run on virgin roads
Run through the hill
Giving their life back
Endless war
Always the same
Near or far
No one to blame
Fight this swarm
And win the game
No one was warned
Don’t be ashamed
By the water I appeared
To take root like a seed
I will distort the landscape
If it helps me to escape
By the water you disappear
The backlash of your greed
I don’t mind all the scrapes
Reminder of mistakes
You were brave
As strong as a lion
To the grave
Beyond horizon
You represent
The evil in our souls
The punishment
Has been imposed
Caught on your own trap
After you we will redraw the map
We fought like there was no hope
You will be eaten
From your shoes
To your cloak
Introducing
The coppery hooves
Deadly glow
mortal beauty
The face you’ll make
In front of so much power
Fear and despair
Freed oscillation
Take your trophies
Cowardly dictator
Celebrate your victories
Until you meet your maker
ELIS
I'll never let you criticise
Nothing will suffice in your eyes
I'm so surprised
No one told me you’re so unwise
You told me that the time will pass
Nothing will be as clean as glass
The filth didn't last
You can now sit on the grass
Pay me the fortune I deserve
For the treasure I helped you preserve
Your legendary greed
Is the last thing that you need
Defy me to prove you have the nerve
It's too late to let your mind swerve
I’m not part of your breed
You're powerless, you cannot lead
Drown
Purify
Let the liquid flow
Take away our mind, our breath
Be the weapon in the accomplishment of our life
Burst
Sanctify
Let the nature blow
Show us your vigour, your strength
Demonstrate the vitality that lies beneath our feet
Stunning flock
Offered to you by the gods
Countless oxen
The divine offspring
Immortal
Flawless
Nothing seems to reach them
They spoiled you
I think they don't know the truth
Of this chapter I'll be the witness
My candour is in distress
The deal they caress
By my eyes I will bless
The silver guards
Try to protect the yards
From this man
But he will discard
Divine, frenetic, powerful
The sentence will be
Sublime, majestic, beautiful
The nature I see
Denial
Bargaining
You'll never recognise the truth
You will be judged
It's not over
Only your perfidy soothes you
Dragged in the sludge
Chase you forever
Furious
Exhausted
All this for nothing
Have mercy on us
Disheartened
He was bluffing
STYMFALIA
They glow above the sky
Out of this world they shine
They stalk among the leaves
Out of our sight they hide
Searching for far too long
Beneath the canopy
Losing the track of time
Falling into anomy
Maybe I was always wrong
Bereft of sanity
To win that was already mine
My soul’s purity
A leaf or a feather
Maybe one or a thousand
My faith soon be drained
These trees will be my cage
A cliff or a crater
Maybe one or another
My view will soon be dark
These birds will fly away
I’ve nothing in mind
The birds are confined
Am I still blind
The more I seek
The less I find
A gift from the owl
A rest for today
The goddess of war
Is never far away
Our will is still very dimmed
A game that will condemn
I will conquer the realm
The chaos will overwhelm
Climbing
Overlooking
This invisible evil
It takes forever
Like getting closer to the stars
Magnificent
View to put on an easel
It gives me shivers
Like seeing through the eyes of gods
Once again
The number is insane
In vain my arms are in pain
How much remains
I can’t contain
Solve this arcane
They fall like the rain
They’re getting tired
I found a new way to fight
Hitting harder
Until there’s nothing left in sight
Triumph of the god
Throw it in your face
Contemplate
I’m getting closer to the edge
Stories will be told
Surely, I’ll leave a trace
Be afraid
It’s the day I dreamed of
KNOSSOS
Release the tamer
Decrease his anger
Deceased is the danger
Here we are
Suspended in time
And I’m still trapped
In the red of his eyes
Muscles on fire
Tingling in the spine
A work of art
We are so synchronised
Staying still in the night
Waiting for the moment
Blending into the night
To cease the torment
I pray now
To find a way out
I pray now
For this world to fade out
Please tell me how
Will be the after
Please tell me how
It would be better
Finally
We’ve made our move
Hopefully
We’ll be on the same groove
Finally
The show can start
Hopefully
The bull’s not that smart
Behold
The tamer
Unfold
His anger
The world in slow motion
My heart in sight
Nothing’s around
I remain alone
Don’t try to knock me down
It’s not our fight
Nothing to win
I’ll finish this round
