(BASS SOLO 1 : HYMN OF WINDS)

MYRIAD LUNAR CYCLES AGO

WHEN NATURE WAS YOUNG AND PURE

MEN & BEAST REIGNED OVER

THE EMERALD MEADOWS OF NHAATH

TO THE UNTAINTED EQUILIBRUM

OF EARTH, WATER AND SKY THEY WERE BOUND

AND THROUGH THE LAW OF FIRE

AND STEEL THEY LIVED AND DIED

ONE DAY A CRY

CAME FROM THE EMPYREAL FIRMAMENT

FOUR MESSENGERS OF THE GODS

DESCENDED ASTRIDE WHITE-GOLD STEEDS

ATRAS, ANGEL OF ORDER

EXAN, ANGEL OF ACCORD

ERAS, ANGEL OF MERCY

UTRAN, ANGEL OF FORTUNE

MEN AND BEAST WERE BLINDED BY THEIR MAJESTY

AS THEY MADE THEIR PROCLAMATION

'ALL SHALL PLEDGE THEMSELVES TO THE DIVINE LAW

ALL SHALL LIVE & DIE BY OUR WILL

ALL SHALL BATHE IN OUR RIGHTEOUS LIGHT

RAISE THY SWORDS AND HAIL THE NEW DAWN!'

''SEULE LA FLAMME ARDENTE DE LA REBELLION

SAURA ILLUMINER NOTRE SOMBRE CHEMIN

VERS LA LIBERTÉ''

(BASS SOLO 2 : HYMN OF REBELLION)

MYRIAD EQUINOXES HATH PASSED

OPPRESSIVE DIVINE LAWS PUT MAN AGAINST MAN

WHILE FOUR ANGELS REIGNED

OVER THE CORRUPTED MIRE OF NHAATH

BLASPHEMERS PLOTTING IN THE DEPTHS

ENCHANTING GODKILLING STEEL

WITH PROFANE PERMUTATIONS

THEIR LIMBS REDDENED BY THE SHACKLES

OF THEIR DIVINE CAPTORS

THE DRAGON HOWLED DEEP BELOW

AND THE EARTH VOMITED ITS HATRED

UNCHAINED MAN ROSE FROM THE INFERNAL WOMB

AGAINST THE FOUR IMPOSTERS

ATRAS, ANGEL OF CONQUEST

EXAN, ANGEL OF DISCORD

ERAS, ANGEL OF CRUELTY

UTRAN, ANGEL OF FAMINE

MEN & BEAST UNITED IN OPPRESSION

RECLAIMED THE JEWEL THRONE,

STAINED WITH REGAL BLOOD

CARESSED BY WINDS OF HEATHENESSE

THE MEADOWS OF NHAATH GREW EVERGREEN

A RETURN TO ANCIENT WAYS

WHERE ANGELS DARE NOT TREAD...

JE NE SERVIRAI PAS!
