Across the Ancient Desert Songtext
von Tanagra

Apocalyptic whirlwind
The rage of nations

Across the ancient desert
Where only the crows bear witness

Of prophecies writ
The desert shall rise as one

Ride them down
Every man, woman, child
Bring loss and despair
Cast their souls to the wind
Our hearts burn like fire, evoke divine rage
Deliverance! Apocalypse! Rend their chain!

Follow the trail of the dead
Follow the chain of suffering


Save at all cost
Every man, woman, child
From loss and despair
In chains we unite
Rage-tempered steel fought with iron ice cold
We march ever southwards
Though witnessed, untold

We leave a trail of our dead
Forging our chain of suffering

This is the blood of our lives
This is the payment of our deeds
All soon to be forgotten

Wind-scoured and bled dry
A hate-ridden command
The rivers and the mountains
Once ochre, now stained red
Snapping at my hand
As wind howls through their bones
We lead a chain of dogs
Across these burning lands

This is the blood of our lives
This is the payment of our deeds
All soon to be forgotten


We were never what people could be
We were only what we were
Remember... you must remember
Remember us

We are abandoned to history
Raise high the tattered standard of the Fallen
Denied justice, denied legacy
Heroic deeds purged from memory
