We are the army of the damned Men of a far forgotten land Thousands of years have passed us by And still you will hear our cry
We left our homes to fight this war We don't remember what that was for Still we advance both day and night Until the time comes to fight
And so they flee from us, our kindred and our kin They will not stand for us and all that we have been The blood will flow from us forever and a day Our oaths are broken by their sins
We gave up all that we could give So that our children could but live We march forever to the drum Of battle that will not come
We hear our lovers cry, though they are dead and gone We hear our comrades sing that everlasting song We cannot feel the sun though morning has just come We are but shadows of the past
Will we find forgiveness, will we?
Have mercy on us Father forgive all these men Who cannot feel the sun though morning has just come We are but shadows of the past.
We are the army of the damned Men of a far forgotten land What I would give to see her face And love her once more Pythia - Army of Damned
Wearing robes of solemnity
My senses stand erect
This moment I am solitary
As you watch me, eyeless
Observe a brutal face
I need silence, I need to be alone
Look at me
My bony fingers wrapped in rags
I am pursued and love is withered
My eyes will see, if my spirit lives
The wind shouts its commands
The earth has stopped my ears
I dare not raise my hand
To hold the stones around my throat
I have heard of your beauty
And would sacrifice my days
These midnight wanderings
And vain laments
Pour upon me
A sympathetic glance
My splendour has gone
you will find me face down
let those days pass
in sorrowful procession
Among leafless groves
May a leaf unfold
I cry with rage
To be remembered with pity
Let the leaves unfold
Where dead leaves have rotted
Ask me what I suffer
Years of fruitless clinging
to enfeebled arms
That wave of benevolent salute
I have heard of your beauty
Pursue me, beckon me
to cast the stones from my throat
in the earth's dark entrails
My glazed eyes close forever
My my eyes will see
If my spirit lives
