Heimdall - Gates of War lyrics

[Book VII – Italy: The Promised Land and the Outbreak of Wat] [STORY] Rea**ured by this vision and the words of his father, Aeneas landed Near the Tiber's mouth in Latium and, on the basis of the signs that Had been foretold, he recognized the promised land… He made a pact with the king of the Latins, Latinus, to guarantee the Safe and peaceful future of both peoples. To celebrate this alliance He offered Aeneas his daughter Lavinia in marriage… but goddess June burled her wrath against the sacred pact, stirring up discord and War First of all, she infected Queen Amata, Latinus' wife, with resentment At her husband's decision. Secondly, she sent the Fury Allecto, the Demon of discord, to stir up the king of Rutulians, Turnus, who was Betrothed to Latinus' daughter. The sacred pact was broken and the Dynastic marriage, arranged between Aeneas and Lavinia, was called Off… the gates of war were thrown open while Latinus couldn't do Anything to avoid it So, a powerful coalition of Latin peoples marched on the Trojan camp Including the tyrant Mezentius and the Volscian warrior-maiden Camilla The biggest army never seen from the times of Achilles and Hector… On the plain – look To the sunshine burns The shadow of mars returns His altars arise Here it comes – the time To be brave is at hand Shields, lances and swords Twirl high in the air [Pre-Chorus:] Now the gates of war Are forced by the Queen Come down from the holy skies [Chorus:] Day after day, remember this time They are marching on to blood and tears Day after day, remember this time For the glory and life after d**h Holy muse, may my chant celebrate Of these and ancient times The heroes and kings May I sing – keepers of memories The greatest war never see From Troy's times [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
