lyrics

Father, can thou hear heavy hooves pounding?
Three horsemen ride as one with darkness in tow
Draped in black, grave words they speak

"Quod fuimus, estis, quod sumus vos eritis
Counted are the days of all
The time has come when all shall fall"

Lo and behold
The dance of old
Hast thou now come
To claim what's yours?
Thus it unfolds
The dance of old
I know thou've come
To dance with my bones

"As the walls around thee crumble
And thy fortress turns to naught
What art thou now but a king of gravel,
A mere beggar at the doorstep to Helheim,
A simple man who's lost to time?"

Lo and behold
The dance of old
I know thou've come
To finish it once and for all
Yet one thing I know that will never die
The judgement of dead men’s deeds

Brother, do not despair
I’ve emptied the chalice
Had every last drop
My time has come

For all the years I've walked upon this earth
I wouldn't trade one for another
As my sight is slowly fading and my blood is running cold
Hermes, guide my steps to Stygian shores!

Orpheus, bless me with one final song to eclipse them all
Sing me on my way to the realm of the glorious dead
Where my fallen ancestors await!

And Eros, every led-clad arrow I cast back to thee
For with a smile upon my face
I finally descend
I welcome my end
