Интересная группа. Лирика построена на греческой мифологии, что не может не радовать. Не так много групп используют столь серьезную лирику.Добавлено (17.02.2009, 12:58)

Mare Nostrum/ альбом "Mare Nostrum"
Across the sea they live, plotting against us all
A constant shade laid over our empire
A rusty nail into the eternal city's crown
Now it's time to wield the deadly iron and to sail on
A thousand ships, the Roman pride,
By Scipio's hand they're led to war
Rise, rise, let Carthago pay
Sail, sail, across the sea
Rise, rise, let Carthago fall
Fight, fight, 'till the end
The Cato's words burn in the heart of every man
The salt must be spread on the ruins, nothing will remain
Oh mighty lord of shadows, Hades, we're calling you
Come witness our triumph
Carthago delenda est
Neither gods must dare Roma,
On your knees or die
And once again the eagle hammered on these wasted land
Will show the power of Roman soldier's steel
Rise, rise, let Carthago pay
Sail, sail, across the sea
Rise, rise, let Carthago fall
Fight, fight, 'till the end
Xanadu (A Vision in a Dream)/альбом "At the Gates of Utopia"
The golden shadow
Of the pleasure dome
Floated midway on the waves
Of the river Alph
"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure dome decree...
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Down to a sunless sea
So twice
Fice miles of fertile ground with towers and walls
were girdled round
And here were gardens bright
With sinuous... rills
And here were forests, forests as
ancient as the hills
Enfolding sunny, spots of greenery"
A mystic reign on the Asian coast was located
A miracle of rare device...
A sunny pleasure-dome was built
Over the winding enchanting icy caves
The silence ruled
among the sacred lands
Of Xanadu
From a raging dance of rocks,
since the dawn of Time
It flings up the holy turbid stream
In this ageless tumult, Kubla Khan heard from
Far Ancestral voices prophesying... war!
A savage place!
...a vision in a dream!
And beyond wood and dale there was
An endless abyss where the river
Would sank in turmoil to a lifeless ocean
Alight by the shine of
A feeble waning moon
Lost in the sky
...and still some whispers in the midnight breeze
remind us again the beauty of Xanadu!
The Curse Of Medusa/альбом "At the Gates of Utopia"
No man who beheld her could not fall
She had eyes of diamond and silken hair
Such a beauty was consumed inside
The fire of pride burned in her heart
That fire so many led to ruin
Ended by being the cause of her disgrace
Medusa dared to compare herself
To the golden armed daughter of Zeus
An affront the goddess could not bear
A revenge so cruel made her who
Was once by all loved and admired
Become a monster feared by the whole mankind
Medusa's beautiful hair turned to
A tangle of poisonous snakes
Horrible scales covered her skin
Her eyes grew cold
Her gaze as sharp as wind in a winter night
Could chill the blood in the bravest heart
Turning into stone whoever dared
Into those hollow eyes to stare
Her fate was so fulfilled
She lurked quietly in her cave among
statues of stone
Brooding over her hate
Shrouded in shades
Medusa dared to compare herself
To the golden armed daughter of Zeus
An affront goddess could not bear
A revenge so cruel made her who
Was once by all loved and admired
Become a monster feared by the whole mankind
Those who beheld, froze in fear
Drained of all their life
