lyrics

High above the mountains he oversees
The world below going into oblivion
After the great destruction he caused
Turning brother against his brother

Revenge was his only thought
He felt no remorse for his act

Many years ago he sworn revenge
And death to the killers of his family
Today was the day for his absolution
To the eyes of his beloved ones

He had lost his faith
He betrayed his crown
The empire has fallen
And the king is dead

Cities were destroyed and burnt to ashes
Innocent citizens were killed and remained unburied
Battles still being fought by brave warriors
They were singing their death songs and litanies

High above the mountains he oversees
A bodiless soul, hatred by the Gods,
Rejected to enter the halls of his ancestors
And cursed to haunt in the forest of betrayal

No hope for this world
After the great betrayal
Everything is lost
Only sorrow and tears remain

The second (03:01) I heard that angry bellow gurgling upwards as from the depths of hell, conquering the composition, rising in intensity, and climaxing more than half a minute later (a geyser of blood spouting up from Tartaros, breaching subterranean roofs and spewing forth onto the face of the earth), I was engrossed hook, line and sinker. Drawn into the underworldly dark. Vocal performances like these never fail to conjure a grin on my face. The Disillusioned One
