[00:01.20]
[00:01.42]	The time is here
[00:04.45]	Time to be brave, while others fear
[00:08.56]	Fear the stars, the moon and the Holy Ghost
[00:14.04]	It's what lurks in the dark that scares us the most
[00:19.94]
[00:20.37]	You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't
[00:26.16]	What tomorrow brings is still the unknown
[00:31.94]	But can you condone? How to atone?
[00:36.03]
[00:36.42]	I'm so alone
[00:39.16]	How can I know I won't bemoan?
[00:44.95]	Every tale, needs its star and knave
[00:51.30]	Which part I play is yet to be unveiled
[00:57.56]
[00:57.77]	History: just what's agreed
[01:02.99]	Yet it will judge both you and me
[01:09.34]	Shields and swords, will win you wars
[01:14.99]	But in the end, the battles for our hearts
[01:20.53]	Fought by bards
[01:26.87]
[01:36.94]	We know the walls will fall
[01:44.41]
[01:51.46]	You look back in time
[01:53.45]	No-one heard the bells chime
[01:56.06]	You wonder how
[01:59.86]	How could they this allow?
[02:01.71]
[02:02.96]	Exactly the same
[02:05.38]	Are the questions aimed your way
[02:08.43]	When looking back on today
[02:13.78]
[02:14.72]	The time is here
[02:17.52]	Time to be brave, let others fear
[02:20.80]	We know the walls will fall
[02:28.27]	But out of the ashes a new day will dawn
[02:33.85]
[02:33.86]	We've enslaved the world
[02:36.67]	We have slaughtered, we've burned
[02:40.28]	All, in the name of our faith
[02:45.50]
[02:45.69]	Only a fool would except
[02:48.36]	Others to settle for anything less
[02:52.10]	The tide is about to turn
[02:59.12]
[03:20.54]	The sea has pulled away
[03:22.96]	Like small children we play
[03:25.89]	What is this?
[03:28.75]	Come take a look at all these fish!
[03:31.54]
[03:32.30]	As long as you spend
[03:34.97]	There is more for you to lend
[03:37.88]	Someone always saves us in the end
[03:43.17]
[03:44.04]	The time is here
[03:46.97]	Time to be brave, let others fear
[03:49.95]	We know the walls will fall
[03:57.23]	But out of the ashes a new day will dawn
[04:03.25]
[04:03.26]	We've enslaved the world
[04:06.25]	We have slaughtered, we've burned
[04:09.80]	All, while knowing what is best
[04:13.66]
[04:15.14]	Might take a year or ten,
[04:18.25]	Generations of men,
[04:21.48]	We've passed the point of no return
[04:28.08]
[04:33.27]	Fifty-three days in fifty-three
[04:36.50]	Fifty-three steps for you to acknowledge your defeat
[04:40.78]
[04:42.15]	The last in line: Ultimus Romanorum
[04:47.69]	Evolution through revolution
[04:50.99]	A frozen river, enough to tip an empire
[04:55.77]
[04:56.47]	Stalingrad, Waterloo, Bastille, Poltava, Stamford Bridge,
[05:05.05]	At Manzikert ‒ it all would end.
[05:09.47]
[05:12.96]	Tough are times ahead
[05:15.45]	With care you tread
[05:17.81]	Before you know
[05:22.03]	Out we need to bow
[05:23.64]
[05:24.22]	Enjoy it while it lasts
[05:26.95]	Soon forgotten in the past
[05:29.82]	Our time here ended so fast
[05:35.40]
[05:35.54]	Open your eyes
[05:38.40]	Yourself apprise
[05:41.70]	All empires find their demise
[05:46.73]	The taller they are, the harder they fall
[05:52.89]	The snowball
[05:55.87]	Is on the roll
[05:59.18]
[05:59.30]	Open your eyes
[06:02.23]	Yourself apprise
[06:05.59]	New powers are on the rise
[06:10.75]	So strong is our faith, the world stays as is
[06:16.84]	Until it hits, like shattering glass to bits
[06:24.10]
[06:24.37]	How did this happen?
[06:27.79]	How could this happen?
[06:30.27]	How could the empire fall?
[06:35.67]
