The time is here 
 Time to be brave, while others fear 
 Fear the stars, the moon and the holy ghost 
 It's what lurks in the dark that scares us the most 
    You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't 
 What tomorrow brings is still the unknown 
 But can you condone? how to atone?   
 I'm so alone 
 How can i know i won't bemoan? 
 Every tale, needs its star and knave 
 Which part i play is yet to be unveiled   
 History: just what's agreed 
 Yet it will judge both you and me 
 Shields and swords, will win you wars 
 But in the end, the battle's for our hearts 
 Fought by bards   
 You look back in time 
 No one heard the bells chime 
 You wonder how 
 How could they this allow?   
 Exactly the same 
 Are the questions aimed your way 
 When looking back on today   
 The time is here 
 Time to be brave, let others fear 
 We know the walls will fall 
 But out of the ashes a new day will dawn   
 We've enslaved the world 
 We have slaughtered, we've burned 
 All, in the name of our faith   
 Only a fool would except 
 Others to settle for anything less 
 The tide is about to turn   
 The sea has pulled away 
 Like small children we play 
 What is this? 
 Come take a look at all these fish!   
 As long as you spend 
 There is more for you to lend 
 Someone always saves us in the end   
 The time is here 
 Time to be brave, let others fear 
 We know the walls will fall 
 But out of the ashes a new day will dawn   
 We've enslaved the world 
 We have slaughtered, we've burned 
 All, while knowing what is best   
 Might take a year or ten, 
 Generations of men, 
 We've passed the point of no return   
 Fifty-three days in fifty-three 
 Fifty-three steps for you to acknowledge your defeat   
 The last in line: ultimus romanorum 
 Evolution through revolution 
 A frozen river, enough to tip an empire   
 Stalingrad, waterloo, bastille, poltava, stamford bridge, 
 At manzikert - it all would end.   
 Tough are times ahead 
 With care you tread 
 Before you know 
 Out we need to bow   
 Enjoy it while it lasts 
 Soon forgotten in the past 
 Our time here ended so fast   
 Open your eyes 
 Yourself apprise 
 All empires find their demise 
 The taller they are, the harder they fall 
 The snowball 
 Is on the roll   
 Open your eyes 
 Yourself apprise 
 New powers are on the rise 
 So strong is our faith, (in that) the world stays as is 
 Until it hits, like shattering glass to bits   
 How did this happen? 
 How could this happen? 
 How could the empire fall?
