Ancient Rites - SHADES OF ETERNAL BATTLEFIELDS (OUR EMPIRE FELL) lyrics

Captured in this paradise of light

I can only feel lost

No grief, no pain

How to maintain

This world is no longer mine

A warlord I was, cities we took

A warlord I was, cities we took

Melancholy fills my heart

Why did I lose my youth

Brilliant my battles were

No journey too great

Parades in conquered streets

While our banners were flying high

True glory could be found

Inspired by the root of all evil

Memories of battles

Like gods of war we were

Like gods of war we were

We sat at satan's left hand

Peace came... oppressed instincts

Reign my land

This land is no longer mine

Now our paradise is lost...
