at the bank you stand
with a coin in your hand
with charon's obol you pay the price
to cross the river styx
kneel for the son of kronos - obey!
the god of the dead - pray!
the unseen one - look!
hades, the infernal zeus - sacrifice!
frightened by cerberus
you enter the underworld's gate
your live is judged, your soul is sent
to rest for eternity
kneel for the son of kronos - obey!
the god of the dead - pray!
the unseen one - look!
hades, the infernal zeus - sacrifice!

Death and Glory

one of two dozen - you clutch your spear
death calls your enemys - fight! kill!
protected by shields – phalanx troops role
unstoppable forces – united! victory!
move into the field – absolutly focused
you keep on marching – eyes! front!
look in your foe's eyes – a rumbling thunder
taste the metal – blood! pain!
death and glory
death on the battlefield
heavy breathing – a stab in the chest
just stay sane – survive! resist!
on your knees – you gather your strength
focus your power – stand! stay!
with your last strength – overwhelm your foe
together you fall – death! dust!
by dawn of the last light – close your eyes
take thanatos' hand – rest! peace!
death and glory
death on the battlefield

Icarus

take these wings and fly with me - but follow my advice
don't you fly too close to the sun - the heat will end your life
and seawater ruins your feathers - so keep your wings dry
just keep close and follow my path - icarus, my son
fly – but don't get too high
fly – this is your only try
fly – but don't touch the sky
fly – or you will die
you feel the airstream in your face - your heart is beating fast
a feeling that you've never felt - excited by every flap
against the warning of your father - you try to touch the sky
melting wax runs down your arms - icarus, you fool
fly – but don't get too high
fly – this is your only try
fly – but don't touch the sky
fly – or you will die
why – did you get too high?
why – waste your only try?
why – tried to touch the sky?
why – why did you die?

Hero

he killed a lion with bare hands - and slayed the nine-headed hydra
a year to catch the golden hind - patient is the hero
he captured the erymanthian boar - and cleaned the augean stables
the man-eating stymphalian birds - shot down by his arrows
greatest of the greek heroes
champion of the olympian order
he caught the mighty cretan bull - stole the mares of diomedes
the girdle of hippolyta - returned by him
he herded back the cattle of geryon - and stole the golden apples
he persuaded the god of the dead - to hand over cerberus
gatekeeper of olympus
champion of the olympian order

City of Gods

hear the story of a lost city, sank beneath the waves,
lost and damned
rumors about aliens and mermaids, don't believe
lies and conspiracies
a civilization seen as godlike, invincible,
died and gone
an idiology that lead to war and destruction,
death and pain
rise and fall – city of gods
isles of atlas became – one with the sea
arrogance and greed – mislead the blind
rise and fall – fate of mankind
in ancient times platon taught us a major lesson,
ignored and forgotten
no godlike beings but men ruled the city,
foolers and hubris
fall by an earthquake sent by the gods, superior atlanteans
judged and punished
no lessons learned as time has taught, war and destruction
death and pain
rise and fall – city of gods
isles of atlas became – one with the sea
arrogance and greed – mislead the blind
rise and fall – fate of mankind

she, all-gifted temptress
created by wrath
don't trust her, follow
prometheus' advice
but you didn't listen
she opened the jar
evil and death
released upon man
pandora
earth and sea are
now full of evils
the jar could be closed
but hope left within
no way to escape
the mind of zeus
prometheus creation
punished with death

Fire and Fury
06:54

|
power-obsessed men decide
the world's blood runs down their hands
the victims, the poor and weak,
don't arouse no mercy
trapped in a cage
a life in ruins
no place to hide
a living nightmare
fire and fury
all hell is breaking loose
last hopes are burnt to death
the spared ones, the rich and strong,
don't have no regrets
an oiled war machine
money leads the way
men's ignorance and greed
kernel of the brute
fire and fury

defender of the faith – this killing machine is running wild
evil fantasies – the hellion with an electric eye
beyond the realms of death - freewheel burning on desert plains
sad wings of destiny – take these chains off from my heart
killing machine – sin after sin, delivering the goods
scream for vengence – blood red skys, out in the cold
turbo lover – you've got another thing coming
grinder – looking for meat
metal priest
all guns blazing – leather rebel, a touch of evil
breaking the law – united, we're living after midnight
diamonds and rust – ram it down jawbreaker
dissident aggressor – the ripper's dreamer deceiver
flame thrower – sea of red, the battle cry
halls of valhalla – between the hammer & the anvil
stained class – exciter, saints in hell
night crawler – he's the painkiller
metal priest
bring the metal...to the battle priest

OLYMP Augsburg, Germany
Olymp are not a myth but pure heavy metal came true. With driving riffs in the tradition of the 80ies the four guys from Augsburg know how to move the neck muscles. Lightning fast twin leads, a growling bass, and the hammering of the thunder drums finally drag the last listener up to the Olympus. ... more
