lyrics

Cambyses

A leader, empowered, through might and mystery
Commanding the hearts of, a legion fifty thousand strong
This day, the sand stirs in their wake

The sun burns its torment
Across the dunes of history
Steel rule has one intent
To reign supreme and rise to divinity

The lands you march to take
Are stronger than your heart can know
In time your will shall break
The meek will rise up and streams of blood will flow

Hear my words great king; for the vultures are already circling
The sands of time dictate your fate imprisoned here
As death rains from skies of dread
Forced by creation the storms cover the tracks
Of your dead

Verse III

Troops from high and low
The dunes howl screams and tortured sounds
War defines the meaning
Calls him to
Sacrifice his kind

Gods have sent a curse
To take from you
Your grand design

Cambyses you were doomed from the start of your era
The prize you sought, slipped through your hands as dust and air
Now find the way ahead
Follow the footsteps of your lost, forsaken dead

Now find the way ahead
Follow the footsteps of your lost, forsaken dead
