about

"The album is huge, it’s heavy and crushing. It’s probably the best mix of stoner and progressive metal that I’ve ever ... more heard. The album is great sounding. It’s not impaired by any studio overdubs or other garbage."

Track Name: Theseus and the Minotaur
An evil King Demands his tribute
Coming every 7 years
The greatest price of youth and beauty
To leave their families home in tears
under black sail to the island
To wander through the monsters maze
The shaking fear that now has gripped them
Will it be hours now or days


As my lungs fill with air
and the wind whips my hair
as i sail across the waves
I'm not afraid to die
14 for the sacrifice
he will not be paid the price
tear the horns from its head
stab them in his eyes


Stalks his prey around the labyrinth
Two steps for every one I take
another wrong turn now I know that
there surely can be no escape
now as I feel its breath upon me
I breath in deep and turn around
when the monster is defeated
I make my way to higher ground


As we pass through the haze
under minos' gaze
try to quiet the dread
follow ariadne's thread
with the beasts dying breath
filling up the black sail
thinking that I have failed
my king falls to his death
Track Name: Poseidon
Mighty ancient ocean god
Smash against the shoreline
Swallow up the ships at sea
Drown them in the brine

He's never satisfied
never satisfied

Trident pierces through the earth
Magma shoots through the sky
Stamps his foot and mountains shake
Blinks and millions die
Sacrifice your sacred bulls
Throw them off the cliffs
He will know the difference
If you send impostor gifts

He's never satisfied
never satisfied
Track Name: War of the Giants
Darkness blocks out the sun
Lightning tears up the sky
There must be a chosen one
That will save our lives

He will live, he will die, by the sword , must be done

They have come to kill the Gods
Wearing armor soaked in blood
Fighting against the greatest odds
Hercules will end the flood

He will ride, sword held high, born to kill, blood will spill

Athena with her golden eyes
Summons back the chosen one
The one who will destroy them all
Oh, how the mighty will fall

When the giants come
We will watch them all die
Track Name: Prometheus
He gave fire to mankind
and saw beyond his mortal life
He saw through both space and time
and he saw the end of faith

For his vision he was imprisoned
Left to suffer everyday
The eagle came to take his liver
Immortality became his strife
Track Name: Hades
Inescapable, inevitable, your fate is sealed by this God
Invisible, immortal, you'll never leave his realm of death
Destroyer, usurper, his cloak is soaked in blood
Gate keeper, death dealer, harbinger of those about to die

Unmerciful, soul keeper, feasts on your tears and sighs
Life ender, unyielding, balance must be maintained
Son of Chronus, death bringer, the keeper of the realm
Maintainer, fate sealer, spies on you when you die
Track Name: Revolt of the Titans/Wasteland
Overthrown by Gods of men
They have come to rise again
Fathers came to kill their sons
Zeus' s battle must be won

Long ignored in stories told
Taking back their rightful hold
On the minds and souls of men
Fight the battle never win

Winged horses will fly high
Can you hear battle cry?
When the dust has settled in
What will be the fate of men

As their strength begins to wane
Titans fall, back in to chains
Through the rivers blood will flow
Sent down to the fires below


Fires are blazing
Earthquakes are shaking
All hell is rising
Track Name: Typheous
A thousand eyes that can not see
A voice like waves in the open sea
Breathing fire across the land
Gaea has come to kill again

Serpents rise from underneath
Wings that stretch from West to East
Taller than any man can see
Only Zeus can destroy the beast

The earth creates a monster
Out of the raging sea
to teach the foolish gods their place
the gods annihilation
is nearly certainty
the earth removes the human race
