Lyrics:

Lord Soth
Once an honoured knight
Of the order of Solamnia...
He built a stronghold, tall and proud
In the shape of his order's sign
Long time ago, he was disgraced from the gods
For failing his duties to restore order in the realm
He found the love of an elven maid
Let his minions kill his wife
The gods threw a fiery mountain
On the city of Istar
To punish the arrogance of the high priest
To The Cataclysm, to the end of the world

'Noctem, redde tuae, dux bone, patriae!'

Dawning in the lands of the damned
A new morning went by
In the darkened halls of the fallen one
As many others did
Condemned to await the end of all days
Guided by the cries of banshees
Dead and forgotten mortals
A life without light
A life without the warmth of blood

Rise and fall - an empire to lose
Fall and rise - a cataclysm to come
Rise and fall - the sea changed blood red
Fall and rise - for a new order
