Stormlord - My Lost Empire lyrics

Too deep for words The grief my mind is calling back now The fall of Ilium will blind my eyes with salty tears Of Hector, the ghost stole my dreams A feeble warning to save my life Voices from the past By moonlight I can hear them screaming Up to the sky Close to my heart The memory of Troy remains My lost empire Our men Like a leaf against the storm In one night they were swept away I was loyal to the shadows Sword held in my hand My faithful son and wife by my side Forty soldiers born from the horse Havoc bringer made of wood Were the ruthless makers of Trojan doom Close to my heart The memory of Troy remains My lost empire Not even the sovereign King Priamus The Wise Was spared from d**h Under the pale shade of a sacred altar Achilles first-born child became among the sinners the worst man Pyrrhus Too deep for words The pain brought by this bitter story Whose remembrance will blind my eyes with salty tears This dying domain was a cradle of flesh Where from blood and fire the eagle rose Voices from the past By moonlight I can hear them screaming Up to the sky Close to my heart The memory of Troy remains My lost empire And when the world will fear your name It will bow to my lost empire And to those who gave their lives for you to claim the crown For you to shine
