Fountain Of Nepenthe

Cold are the waves that carry our ships

Through uncharted seas to our homeland

Storm clouds gather as we approach

The gates of twilight await

Swords drawn as we walk through the clouds

Endless glory and wisdom

Oblivion, sweet mead of the gods

Our past lives cast off like a gown

The spells have been cast, the veil has been lifted

We leave this world

Elysium beckons

The Golden Bough opens the gate

I feel no more pain, grief has fled my soul

And then we see a shining shore and ten white temples

Procession to the Fountain of Nepenthe

Clad in white robes I bear the Golden Bough

A pilgrim twixt the worlds of gods and men

A shining shore and a far green land

The meadows of the Island of the Blessed

A king will come and lead our people home

Where earthly gyves will be no more

Dark is the path appointed for us

Wind-demons scream as we pass

One single flame at the edge of the night

One beacon, one guardian, one truth

Our forefather's blessings grant vision and might

Through negative veils we march onward

Katharsis - As we blaze through the void

Our souls become one with the light

The spells have been cast

The veil has been lifted

We leave this world

Elysium beckons

The Golden Bough opens the gate

I feel no more pain

Grief has fled my soul

And then we see a

Shining shore and ten white temples

Procession to the Fountain of Nepenthe

Clad in white robes I bear the golden bough

A pilgrim twixt the worlds of gods and men

A shining shore and a far green land

The meadows of the Island of the Blessed

A king will come and lead our people home

Where earthly gyves will be no more

Five thousand years have passed

Since first light shone upon us

Through forests deep now darkness falls

Who will be our king?

Who will bear the crown of oak and bone?

Who will lead our folk? Lead us home?

An age is coming to an end

And from our mountain thrones we watch

Who will sing our songs when the last of us has gone?

Who will tell our tale when all hope fails?
