Rhapsody Of Fire - Tales of a Hero's Fate lyrics

Kreel, Vis, Res, Anime
Ego te absolvo, et anima libera (Est)
Ignis et sanguis in tenebris vivit lux

I am digging in my dark old memories
Sometimes I think it's too late
To redeem my soul
Pain and pleasure seem like one damn thing
I can't control my instincts
I want more and more i am lost

Nightmares from my past
This suffering came from the conscience
There's no escape from your penance
The tales of a hero's fate
It's hard to get over the mind fields
You can't control inner instincts

Tales of a life full of blood and mistakes
This hero you see is a mask on my face
Shameless hiding
The scars have now taken the place

There's no gain, just hate
This suffering came from the conscience
There's no escape from your penance
The tales of a hero's fate
It's hard to get over mind fields
You can't control inner instincts

Vividi sogni di oscure realtà
Mercy and agony, two halves, one burning soul
Hell walks beside me while
Heaven sends his calling

The truth is so scary, mean, cold, and rough
Oh God please, forgive me, I did it for love
Save my soul, you omniscient
You know I saved my dove

There's no gain, just hate
This suffering came from the conscience
There's no escape from your penance
The tales of a hero's fate
It's hard to get over mind fields
You can't control inner instincts

Vividi sogni di oscure realtà
Mercy and agony, two halves, one burning soul
Hell walks beside me while
Heaven sends his calling

Why am I here? Oh, what does this mean?
There's nothing right, there's nothing wrong
I'll live forever damned
The tales of a hero's fate

Vividi sogni di oscure realtà
Mercy and agony, two halves, one burning soul
Hell walks beside me while
Heaven sends his calling
Ego te absolvo, et anima libera (Est)
Ignis et sanguis in tenebris vivit lux

In ages past, the Nephilim
Empire ruled the Earth
But they fell from grace once their slaves
Humanity rose up and defeated their gods
The Nephilim were purged from
The Earth and banished to
The darkness for centuries
They watched and waited the Nephilim
Empire would one day rise again and
When they rose from the ashes
They formed an alliance with
A highly-evolved race known
As the Konstrukts together they
Wiped out every
Last remnant of homo sapiens DNA despite
The genocide
The dream of humanity would rise
Again time flows like a river
But there are many
Streams the end of flesh is come before me
For the Empire is filled with violence
And hatred behold, I will destroy the Empire
And those within i am become death
The destroyer of worlds

Lux, Vis, Res, Is, Lux, Vita Est
Nova Vis, Vita Est, Nova Res, vita Est
Nova ego Revoco Ad Vitam, Ad Vitam, Ad Vitam
