Victoriatus

(album: Sleep Of The Angels - 1999)

Like the ocean that roars
Everything I have done
Echoes in my ears
But can never be undone

The battle has offered
The passion and the heat
I can not be denied
Triumph or admit defeat

I remember now
Vigorous I had been
Really cruel but somehow
So glorious no man's ever seen

[Chorus:]
May we be
The first to know
The first to see
The glory to bow
What else could it be?
The victory I foresaw

I honor the past
I carry the future
I'll make it last
I live up to our culture

In memory of those
Who've crossed my path
I keep them close
In times of death

[Chorus]

The battle has offered,
The passion and the heat
I can not be denied, triumph or admit defeat
I remember now vigorous I had been
Really cruel but somehow
So glorious no man's ever seen
