Phoenix
Here in the still of the night
Just right before the sunrise
A magic creature is building its final nest
It is not meant to be safe
It is not meant to be strong
For it’s not sleep that the creature will use it for
Carefully puts each spice and clove and branch
That lay before it
The funeral pyre is now ready to burn it alive
You burn in a fire that spices create
The sun itself stops in the sky
You rise from the ashes, and then fly away
The phoenix just can’t ever die
As I stand idle and watch
I can’t believe in my eyes
For beauty like this has never been seen before
It seems so tired and worn
Ready to leave from this place
Even the sun stops to listen its final song
Carefully puts each spice and clove and branch
That lay before it
The funeral pyre is now ready to burn it alive
You burn in a fire that spices create
The sun itself stops in the sky
You rise from the ashes, and then fly away
The phoenix just can’t ever die

Bellerophon

Bellerophon
Labeled as murderer he roams
Exiled for killing his own kin
Through hardship enters a new home
And rests his head in Argolid
There in temptation he resists
Not to attaint his caring host
But lies will poison the fair king
Sent on a mission to be lost
To suffer misguided
Despair and benighted
His passion ignited
To slay the monster for his love
When all hope has faded
When all life seems fated
And the world comes crumbling down
When injustice thriving
And your strength subsiding
And you feel like you could drown
Don't forget Bellerophon
Right beside a drinking well
A magic creature will reside
With golden reins it will be tamed
Him and the Pegasus will fly
Above Chimeras hellish heads
It's breath would melt all steel and stone
But with a spear of leaded head
The flying knight will be atoned
To suffer, misguided
Despair and benighted
His passion ignited
To slay the monster for his love
When all hope has faded
When all life seems fated
And the world comes crumbling down
When injustice thriving
And your strength subsiding
And you feel like you could drown
Don't forget Bellerophon
His might and Valor he has shown
No other mountain left to overcome
He lays his gaze upon Olympus
The wrath of Zeus shall rise
For it is said that men of hubris
Will never see the light
When all hope has faded
When all life seems fated
And the world comes crumbling down
When injustice thriving
And your strength subsiding
And you feel like you could drown
Don't forget Bellerophon
(The flying knight will shine so bright)
(In the dark of the night)

Excalibur
As the people suffer
And the land is bleeding out for years
He would find the grace to draw the sword
He would be the land
And with him it would blossom without fears
Peace throughout the land would be restored
Rejoice with gladness and remember
In this moment you are one
The doom of men is that they forget
Long live the king and all the knights
Of Camelot
In darkness they would be the light
Through battles fought
At dawn their armors shining bright
Excalibur
United under the great sword
We'll find our way
Evil always lies where you will
least expect it, in the dark
When everything you trust ends in betrayal
Truth has always been the greatest
Virtue that a knight should have
But man is not a God and so he fails
And now the king's without a sword
And all the land's without a king
A time of darkness and despair
Long live the king and all the knights
Of Camelot
In darkness they would be the light
Through battles fought
At dawn their armors shining bright
Excalibur
United under the great sword
We'll find our way
The dragon opens his eyes, they will destroy, they will divide
Morgana's charm spreads the lies, they will deceive, even the wise
We now must find what once was lost
And bring it back to life
Only the grail can now restore all leaf and flower
Search through the land and forest, dive in deepest oceans
Inside the labyrinths of old show our devotion
God has left this world for they have turned themselves into Gods
Death and famine rule cause of their sin
Ride once more to battle to defend what once was bright and pure
And dream of what it could have been
Excalibur may rest in the lake
Until one day a king will come
And only then will it rise again
Long live the king and all the knights
Of Camelot
In darkness they would be the light
Through battles fought
At dawn their armors shining bright
Excalibur
United under the great sword
We'll find our way

Sekhmet
Now the power of the sun God fails
And he's turning old and frail
Then his worshipers conspire
Against their mighty ruler
From his eye will jump a lion
Breathing fire along the Nile
A mighty warrior of Ra
Spreading wrath and vengeance
Filled with rage
End of days
Vengeance drives her carnage
Pierce the flesh
Drink the blood
Sekhmet's wrath
Fear the lioness, in slaughter her delight
Face her violence, taste her holy might
The goddess of all wars, her pleasure lies in blood
Sekhmet will devour until she's satisfied
And the rampage carries on
Till there's no more blood to drop
Ra takes pity on mankind
And decides to stop her
River filled with red dyed beer
For the goddess knows no fear
By her father she's deceived
In a peaceful slumber
Filled with rage
End of days
Vengeance drives her carnage
Pierce the flesh
Drink the blood
Sekhmet's wrath
Fear the lioness, in slaughter her delight
Face her violence, taste her holy might
The goddess of all wars, her pleasure lies in blood
Sekhmet will devour until she's satisfied

Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh
Born two thirds divine
And one third mortal
He would rule across the land
The king of horrors rising
His subjects turned to slaves
Raping the women as he
Laughs and misbehaves
The gods would make his equal
Brave Enkidu challenges the king but loses
And from this fight they will both find a friend
The sun will rise and the sun will fall again
Who would remember my name Gilgamesh
Though I set out to become immortal god
I am content with my fate Gilgamesh
Together they will ride
Into the Cedar forest
Bravely they would fight
Against a fierce opponent
Angering the gods
They send the bull of heaven
But against the odds
They both shall rise victorious
The gods would sentence brave Enkidu to his death
For seven nights the king laments in despair
The sun will rise and the sun will fall again
Who would remember my name Gilgamesh
Though I set out to become immortal god
I am content with my fate Gilgamesh
Then Gilgamesh while been destroyed after his brother's death
Sets out to travel, hopes to find the key to eternal life
He learns that life of which he looks for he will never find
Nevertheless he has to try he has to turn the tide
Survivor of the flood
He tells the king he should not
Sleep for seven days
But sleep could not be conquered
He found the magic plant
Deep in the oceans bottom
Moments out of sight
The snake would take it from him
When Gilgamesh laid eyes on his beloved city
He made peace with his mortality at last
The sun will rise and the sun will fall again
Who would remember my name Gilgamesh
Though I set out to become immortal god
I am content with my fate Gilgamesh

Sun Wukong
Far to the east and out of a rock
A glorious monkey rises
Born to be king the heavens he'll mock
A trickster that hypnotizes
72 transformations he learns
Becoming a martial arts expert
With strength being unmatched on a cloud he returns
Wishing he'd live forever
For the troubles he had caused
In a mountain he'll be forced
For the monkey could not die
So there he'll wait for chance of redemption
Yet for all of his might and his strength
He was always afraid of his death
His love for life was too strong
Immortal Sun Wukong
Centuries came and centuries went
Waiting the monks arrival
Together they venture into the west
To fight for the world's revival
Along with a dragon shaped as a horse
And with a pig faced demon
Facing each other and facing themselves
Together they fight for freedom
And the journey carries on
14 years have come and gone
Growing stronger with each foe
At last, the taste of sweet redemption
Yet for all of his might and his strength
He was always afraid of his death
His love for life was too strong
Immortal Sun Wukong

Oni (Shuten – doji)
Brought to this world by woman and dragon
A different kind of man is born
Became resentful of all humans
Earning the name of demon spawn
After a drunken night of terror
The mask and skin became as one
Left all alone to roam forever
His transformation has begun
The people cower with fear
As the Oni draws near
His eyes filled with darkness and rage
Dreaded Oni, destroyer of man
Shuten doji, his reign has begun
Killing virgins and drinking their blood
Dreaded Oni, his reign has begun
Only the strongest of all warriors
Could bring a stop to his savagery
And what was once his source of power
Became the poison for the beast
The people cower with fear
As the Oni draws near
His eyes filled with darkness and rage
Dreaded Oni, destroyer of man
Shuten doji, his reign has begun
Killing virgins and drinking their blood
Dreaded Oni, his reign has begun

Valkyries
The silence will break at first light
The snow will be painted with blood
For death or glory we march this day
Odin hear our prayers
A hero’s soul, can never perish
By our hands will their bodies be crushed
We’ll bring them hell, we’ll bring them thunder
We’ll burn them down in a fiery winds gust
The maidens observing united
The outcome has long been decided
Like vultures they wait for the fallen’s last breath
To take them away
They’re coming down, with sword and shield on winged horse
On battle ground, is where you’ll face the mighty Norse
They’re coming down, with sword and shield on winged horse
On sacred ground, don’t be afraid when the Valkyries calling your name
Battling on, with strength and fury
Victory’s close as the enemy flees
Blackened the sky, retreating arrows
Shot through the heart and I fall on my knees
The maidens observing united
The outcome has long been decided
Like vultures they wait for the fallen’s last breath
To take me away
They’re coming down, with sword and shield on winged horse
On battle ground, is where you’ll face the mighty Norse
They’re coming down, with sword and shield on winged horse
On sacred ground, don’t be afraid when the Valkyries calling my name

Medusa

Medusa
Treading lightly under veil of darkness
Through the statues of her terrifying gaze
Senses sharper than the sword in my hand
I won't falter, In getting through this maze
Once a priestess of Athena, young and pure
Beauty like noone had ever seen before
Forced and raped she was and left ashamed and cold
For Poseidon's greed could never be controlled
True love could never be enough
To shield the priestess from this wrath
Punished for being just herself
Condemned in shame and death
Mighty heroes have come to fear your name
Oh Medusa, creature of the night
You will suffer, forever drown in pain
Oh Medusa, your cries echo in the dark
Turning everyone to stone with one glance
All she ever did was to defend her life
Damned in solitude forever in the dark
Curse of envy, could never be undone
Getting close to where the dreaded gorgon lies
With my shield like mirror shining oh so bright
I hear the hishing of the snakes approaching
One swift blow, her head is mine at last
True love could never be enough
To shield the priestess from this wrath
Punished for being just herself
Condemned in shame and death
Mighty heroes have come to fear your name
Oh Medusa, creature of the night
You will suffer, forever drown in pain
Oh Medusa, your cries echoing
Deep in anguish you'll dwell for all your days
Oh Medusa, with the deadly gaze
You will suffer, forever drown in pain
Oh Medusa, your cries echo in the dark
