Siegfried 05:50
It all began, when Reginn told his tale Of Fafnir, a beast in the woods He owns a treasure in his cave And no one returned from the fight So Siegfried, grabbed his sword And rode to the dragons lair When he finally arrived, He only saw skull and bones No one could ever survive The vengeance of the beast So many men have been killed The Dragon, he must die Eyes filled with vengeance, he raged out to fight The search for glory, all his powers unite No one could ever pierce, he armor of the beast Neither could he, so it seems he’ll lose Armed with Mourne he faced the beast, there is no return he got to finish the fight, It won’t let him go Chorus The belly was the only vulnerable point, his last powers unify for one last strike A scream of pain and the beast has fallen, the hero hung by a thread He took a bath in the blood of the dragon His skin transformed into an armor But one single leaf left one mortal point Be on guard it might be your demise

Behold the battle cry of attila the hun Bloodshed in his mind, the rage has begun Oh yeah He gathered his army, they rode on the winds of war They came to europe and reaped everything they saw Take care When will it end? Attila, he came for war Thousands more and what is it for? Attila, reaped what he saw No nules no law, kill to store No friend no enemy, no matter who will come The gain, this is the aim, everything shall be done Oh yeah The red sun and kingdom come for hungarian fair No stop till austria, kill everyone who dares Despair Time to offend! Chorus His once friendship with the high command of Rome Ended in a disastrous mess he thought he could feel home now pay! Poisoned on his wedding night how could that be? The hunnish empire will never again succeed Decay! Chorus

As the romans marched to the northern lands They already thought victory has come But some clans break thier boundaries And that’s where the legend was born There was a man who wouldn’t take it The time for rebellion is right to rise He came up with a flawless tactic Germanic battle force allies The clans will unite! As they sat waiting in the trees the romans couldn’t use their fighting skill Armed forces are falling on their knees see all the motivation thrill It is the time for an empire to fall Spread by forests the battalion stuck All are waiting for the final call Now end all their luck! Arminius, acted when it was serious Arminius, he will find peace for us The romans stepped into the trap The end of the war was near 20 000 men couldn‘t come back Rome has found its frontier Raiding north proved to be too hard Calus saw himself helplessly Aiming the own sword at his heart Let the tribes fall in ecstasy So, Rome finally found their limit An enemy they could not defeat The allemanic secret was raw spirit Valus, it’s time to retreat! Arminius story ended glorious Arminius He will find peace for us Come with us we’ll fight ‘em furious Arminius He will find peace for us

In the land the splitted land, a human, a half god decend To the crown, inherit the crown of a kingdom unbound We see when earth will finally unify with the sea Although it is a rocky road, he proves unbowed Not a prince, not king is his name, he is the emperor of the center of the culture, he is the adventurer Kill away, spit away all the humans who stood in his way to the power, the force they need to pay Believing and free for all eternity Believing and free he fought to be Raiding the continent by gods courtesy Believing and free he fought to be Pater Europae, All the best for the Empire Pater Europae, All the honour to what you desire The future is real and his aim is so clear to gather the armies and to invade the frontier Even the pope and the church move away trying to please his will, which will never astray Believing and free for all eternity Believing and free he fought to be Raiding the continent by gods courtesy Believing and free for all eternity Pater Europae All the best for the Empire Pater Europae all the honour to what you desire

At the night they’re crawling From the deep shimmering light There is no time for brawling Unseen they take your sight For Beowulf they were calling For our safety he has to fight Never wanted to see the empire falling It’s time to show your might The Beast is alluring into the green side You may be there enduring your entire life fight for the sea and fight for the land You’ve got to fulfill your command finally free, leaving it dead He struck down the beasts green head For the beasts mothers life he’s seeking Diving down into the lake Of dead bodies the water was reeking How many more lifes will they take? But this time it will be theirs Beowolf enters the gloomy lair By the power of his sword Decapitate today sounds fair Chorus
6.
I was born in 1470 thrown in a wold of greed and fear foreign constancy, the flow was meant to disappear It was not my father’s choice to die with unfinished word and leave the crown for his brother, Richard the third As the oldest son, I should reign the land in higher age Two new intrigues and the crisis entered a new stage Stone cold, My own mother turned her back on me She took the states treasury and the force of the sea Carved in stone they will seal our destiny Carved in stone living locked eternally Carved in stone we’ll never be set free Carved in stone It ends with certainty He’s ruling, the heights of his power with the age of nine Two intrigues see their empire slowly to decline This new generation is a danger to/for what we claim The caught let those young boys got no right to reign So the princes shall be taken to a tower to rest No time to wait the throne takes only the best Close the door and turn the key this is the final ban Never forgotten they will be never seen again Chorus
7.
As we rode, we knew that the day will come As we saw, the battle force, it is all said and done The opposers, far to strong. How can we be still alive? Armed with weapons of shining steel, they will break our bones The army of the lost We march into safe death The army of the lost We called it tryst of destiny But they fell one by one. Is it really our fight? Our force, it carries on How can we be so strong? Am I dreaming? Is this real? Will I see my Familiy again? We fought like one, side by side. We charge into the fight Chorus
8.
The human kind has lived Thousands of years We prayed to god “Are you really here?” We tried to live our lives The way us was told To find our inner peace What we have promised us There was no answer You didn’t show your face what was in our mind? We had doubt in all your kind There it was, there it was, finally The sign born from heaven The wing, the relict, creature Not from here, from earth I couldn’t believe The fact of his existence Can I call myself the chosen one? The Relic of an Angel, which fell from the sky It gave us the lead to see the light Oh lord, can you see us bleed We pray to you so high The destruction of human kind Will be our sacrifice Shall I sacrifice all human? All I see is red! Will I find my peace, when I will see them dead? Look at their lies, just look at you Do you see their lies? It came through you Look at their lifes, collective suicide When care and feeling dies, let’s break their pride Can you see their lies? You see them dead? Greed and pain’s the price blood’s on your hands. Don‘t wash away let the sin pierce your soul gold and shine can astray let the bell of the damned toll this is the dark result of curiosity It let us to judge over others destiny egoism forced them to this ferocity They had not expected it with such penalty Skullwinx - the sign of fallen kings Skullwinx - pain destruction it brings Skullwinx - the sign of fallen kings Skullwinx - when heaven plays their strings God, is it really a reason for war? A piece of bone of something no one knew before It led us down to a savage Kind of animal The quest for might Force, to rule ‘em all Wouldn’t it be wiser To hide the piece Mephisto has won Your faithful bet How could you be like this? To judge us all Seduce our souls to keep us in thrall Now it’s a living hell, we failed for sure the death knell rings for us, take me, lure

about

„The Relic“ consists of mid-european hero tales, legends and historic events. The title track deals with the theodicy question, what would happen if god sends a prove of his existance to earth, the relic of an angel. Human greed, jealousy and the search for might result in a catastrophy. The question remaining is if we talk about an almighty lord, knowing that this will happen, is he a good one then? This object proving gods existance is called “Skullwinx“
