Summer eternal, the wind burns my lungs
The heat is unbearable
My steps are heavy and sink profoundly into this
Ocean of ardent sand
Men and horses are thirsty
This crossing has no end
Despite my face
An ardent summer
Has engraved my soul
And now...
I am the one who is the chosen guide
I am the one who will cross this Hell
Earth, wind and fire make only one with my spirit
And by striding undines, this victory's mine
Torpor, it watches your steps, waiting for a weakness
Demons will make so that you’ll be lost
Diriget gressus vestros in
Deserto per harenas igneus
Dominate metumque, ignorare fines eius
Virtute consecuta in morte
Morsu ignis
Dominetur vobis
Tardius spirant
Vel cuius
Meriti esset
I sometimes have to use my rage
Venti iudicabo
Unleash black dragon against adversity
Te deus
The way of the warrior is not to stumble
In aeternum
But to get up every time
Neither the hunger, the cold, the thirst
Nor the sand, the sun, scorpions, nor even the wolves
Shall prevent me from reaching my goal
Torpor, it watches your steps, waiting for a weakness
Demons will make so that you’ll be lost

Let the fire speak
Let the fire speak now
Let the embers of an unnamed hatred burn
Watch the flames do their work
There will not even remain glory
There will not even be the links
You could let everything explode
In a flood of pride and rage
Let the fire speak
Let the fire speak now
Let you must master this volcano
That gnaws you like a worm that rots a fruit
Everyone saw behind the rules
And defeat will devastate you

I proudly máirseáil bháis, I proudly máirseáil bháis
Tá a fhios agam sí ag súil
Más é seo an cogadh deiridh
Ach amháin mar a bhfuil mianach
Sin an fáth a chomhrac mé
Agus aontaím go bás
Isé an rud Amháin a ba mhaith liom
Go bhfuil mo Bháis a bheith i vain
Ave
Luna latet, frigus numbed tua membra dum pluvia frangit contra lapides
Tenuis ignis non est calidus non cor eius ab eius familia
Eorum ridere videtur ita longe
Isé an rud
Go bhfuil mo
Raise your fist, raise your head, it’s time to walk towards death
About our tears, our lives, are we ready to die
Paradisio...
March To Die
Beyond rules, beyond time
We must remain faithful to our clan
Even if you want to control
Our morals, our souls
You will fail
We are determined
We will not apologize
Your cruelty must be washed in blood
Even if we shall die
Isé an rud
Go bhfuil mo
We shall die
Whatever the tears
Whatever the lives lost
We will keep our freedom
Until the grave
Breaking the silence
Crossing the snows
Reaching the skies
We are the leaders of our own future

Bellum
Hostium
Mors canentes
Mors canentes canticum mortem
Necare inimicus
The sound of the blades which will collide
Agony, tears, no compromise
Is the only sound which you will hear
Slashing right, slashing left
Blows rain down, blood roars out
I've no other choice but moving forward
At the heart of this mountain of armed men
I just take my enemy as he is a man just like me
Wherever you're from, whoever you are
Foe of one day, death is not so far
That's nothing personal, war is war
Mors canentes canticum mortem
I have no cruelty, I want just to live
You always have a choice to be fair in your daily life
But on the battlefield, fight with all your strength
Because only here no holds barred
You can kill honorably
Without hatred, without happiness
Wherever you're from, whoever you are
Foe of one day, death is not so far
That's nothing personal, war is war
Finally despite the honor... Ferrum in
In the end, despite the values... Sanguine
The whole thing is to stay alive... Meosuri
Kill or be killed, and see the sun rise... Imperium
Despite your efforts to ride the blow
In the battle, there is no law
Though you've come to the end of the track
You will not dodge my fast attack
Go back to the underground
At the end, I will stay up last
Mors canentes
You can kill honorably
Without hatred, without happiness
Wherever you're from, whoever you are
Foe of one day, death is not so far
That's nothing personal, war is war

Sanguinus
In sempiternum
Death blow
How many years
I have to reap a wheat
I didn’t sow
Will the gods forgive me all the things that I have done and said?
Am I responsible for these visions that beset me? Are they mine?
They seem so far away, from another age, from another side
The legacy of blood is present as that of our own soul
During the descent to the heart of the world, at the bottom of the misty abyss
The symbols appear, guided by these ghosts, I open my eyes
During the descent to the heart of the world, at the bottom of the misty abyss
The light is flowing through my veins, through my veins
From me, or what I might have been
These feelings could be the wish of what my father wanted
Blood is life, blood for the Blood God
Sanguinus
In sempiternum
Death blow
How many years
I have to reap a wheat
I didn’t sow

Beyond the mountains and oceans
Through the ages, each person bears his mark
From another life, other times
A rain of tears darkens the clarity of the Moon
Or revealed by the inheritance of blood
The harvest is always good
For a starving death
Lush forest of suffering quivering in the wind
Tacet enim vobis facio
Body wounds, scars of the soul
The mind remembers torture
Quod tu vulnere iterum
Repairs or burns it
Do not underestimate
Fortior me facturum putatis
Videte enim stigmata
What doesn’t kill you, doesn’t always make you stronger
The pain and screams survive forever
A horror vision breaks the hardest crystal
Come back to haunt you, lacerate you all
Those you have faced remain as a sign
That never fades under the whip of an exile
Demons always bite hard
Will leave a trace to the firmament
Interdum tempus
Tacendi et tempus
Non sunt hae lacrimae
Telam quasi ros mane desuper
By an eternal arachnid who came here
To confort the deepest wounds
Interdum tempus
Tacendi et tempus
Non sunt hae lacrimae
Telam quasi ros mane desuper

The wind breath to the river
Serpentine road to the sea
How many time? How many raid?
Here we come back home after having seen
Axes and swords drowned by blood
Slashing and smashing, breaking some heads
And die by the flow
Many days far from home
Remind me of our shining kingdom
Gold, death, glory, or just a new story
Anyway I will return
Cruelty for the chosen ones, ocean's reign
Soul's reaper sails and seeks you at the moment of the end
Whatever is come, whatever is gone
Krakens and sharks can't stop me from arriving at home
Ocean's reign, cruelty for the chosen ones
Soul's reaper sails and seeks you at the moment of the end

From past ages, from distant times
Before the flood, when light was not
We dwell right here, along gold veins
Among the trees, behind the mist
Since ever and ever forever and ever
Exceeding what you call time
We are invisible, part of this world
Invisible, but we observe
The day will fade a million times
The sun will rise above your shrines
On final days, all shall rejoin
The fallen leaves will feed the soil
You cannot comprehend
You can't see where we stand
You cannot comprehend
That your life never ends

Et a vitrum vinum bibistis
Et totum illud bibam vobiscum
Memento quod motto
Si non vomere, non tu habentem
Tempus bonum ad vesperam
Bibe !

Maybe a gift from the gods
For services rendered
To send back ghosts and demons
Or simply for righteous men
A place where the land is fertile
Where you'll never mind
Far from cruelty of the world
Where your soul will finally shine
Elysium, a Heaven as you see
Elysium, culmination of a dream
Here you can put down your sword and your spear
Armor, broken shield, but also your fears
You know that your dearest property
Is all your friends, and above all family
Your true wealth is their presence 'til the end
Even if it means, we come back from the dead
Elysium
Here is reigning an eternal summer
The whisper of the wind can be felt
Only to spread the fragrance of flowers
Millennial trees covered with their fresh shade, a lucky shadow
No more pain, no more old age
Here the happiest times are preserved
Elysium, a Heaven as you see
Elysium, culmination of a dream
A multitude of fabulous birds twirling into the lake and in the sky
Their dance and songs exalt me, its waves let us forget the evils of life
Surrounded by animals who live in harmony
Even the lion rubs shoulder with the dove
And here is born a complicity
Elysium
In the midst of weed fumes of old Tobby, the rare liquors flow
In the sight of those, the joy explodes
The music transports us as well as the laughter of a child
This place that finally everyone can build is hidden in your mind
To become reality, you must fight, fight for victory
