Lyrics
By the sword of the serpent
We lost the war
As it crumbles on the ground before me
By the sword of the serpent
Watch it all
Devoured then all is gone
Like fire from a hundred flames
Their Gods they came from the sky above
The Achaemenids
Our future is uncertain
Their messengers the omen saw
Their reign will come from a distant horizon
Wreaking havoc for all
Ahriman, he speaks in ancient tongue and whispers
Welcome to hell
He rose the waves to drown our ships in
Blood and pain
Another battle will define us
And by the Gods we'll fight to the end
In Kition, they speak in ancient tongue before me
Strong we opposed
Like lions fought denied oppression
Egypt called, a beam of hope was born inside was
Still by the Antalcidean it died
Like fire from a hundred flames
Their Gods they came from the sky above
The Achaemenids
Our future is uncertain
We lost the war
As it crumbles on the ground before me
By the sword of the serpent
Watch it all
Devoured then all is gone
Like fire from a hundred flames
Their Gods they came from the sky above
The Achaemenids
Our future is uncertain
Their messengers the omen saw
Their reign will come from a distant horizon
Wreaking havoc for all
Ahriman, he speaks in ancient tongue and whispers
Welcome to hell
He rose the waves to drown our ships in
Blood and pain
Another battle will define us
And by the Gods we'll fight to the end
In Kition, they speak in ancient tongue before me
Strong we opposed
Like lions fought denied oppression
Egypt called, a beam of hope was born inside was
Still by the Antalcidean it died
Like fire from a hundred flames
Their Gods they came from the sky above
The Achaemenids
Our future is uncertain
