Those Upon The Pyre

Thunder God has spoken
With these mortal hands
I will forge among the gems of the Olympian Crown the brightest jewel!

My comrades hail me as a king
Anchises’s worthy heir!
The one who shall fulfil
The prophecy that made us bear
The torments!

Lone I’m standing on this foreign ground
As they worship the remains
Whose fame makes my shadow larger, and my heart sink

Spirits lost in fire, rise up!
Take a look at our pain
And behold the pride
Of your offspring!

We belong to those upon the pyre!
All for them, all for those laid on the fire!

When silence reigns
Just before the dawn
We can hear their call!

La progenie di Iulo cantiamo
Che estenderà il dominio sino alle terre
Distese oltre le stelle
Dove eterno Atlante la celeste volta regge
[English translation
“The offspring of Iulo we sing
That will lead the kingdom to the lands
Laid beyond the stars
Where Atlas carries the heavens eternally

Far away from home we roam
Covered with the long
Heavy shades of the forefathers!
We feel
Of centuries the weight!
Our destinies
Every single one of them now belongs
To those upon the pyre!
All for those laid on the fire!

When the rays of a future sun
Will shine over a thousand domes

When all these old wounds will hurt no more
(When the Warbringer will rest!)
In the flame you will find us all!
(You’ll find us all, into the pyre!)
