Lyrics
one
who
masters
thunder
will
reign
over
the
world
as
king
Leontius[Λεωντιυς]: the first prince of Arcadia
While dyeing the fields vermillion, dusk invites the world
While staining our blades scarlet, we invite the living
Into twilight, into darkness
What is necessary for the living
Is unnecessary for the dead
What do you wish for, even when you turn into a corpse?
With nothing grasped in that hand of yours
Into twilight, into darkness
"Your Highness!"
"What is it, Castor?"
"Perhaps they were frightened by Your Highness' thunder spear and the bravery of our army, the Laconian troops that violated divine territory seem to be retreating."
"I see. Good job."
In Anatolia[Ανατολια], the invasion of Barbaros[βάρβαρος] is severe
The Capital of the Wind[Ιλιον] is said to be building an impregnable rampart right now
With Hellenes[Έλληνες] brethren fighting against each other, this era truly began to accelerate
Leontius
If we doubt the oracle, the very earth on which we stand will shake
Due to the many possibly interpretations, the kings are greatly worried
A beast armored in iron stronger than steel
Will tear down even the shield of the wind
and with his back to shooting stars
bare his fangs at destiny[God]
The one born
When darkness[Έρεβος] devours the sun[Ήλιος]
Will weave destruction
"Leontius, look. One who inherited the blood of the Thunder God...your sibling."
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, please become a splendid brother!"
"Brother! His Majesty wishes to discuss the matter of the oracle!"
"O, Moira ...such treatment..."
"Queen Isadora, please do not worry. Leave this to me."
