LYRICS
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 it's 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
Shield 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?

I love this band. Their songs about the Medieval Greco/Roman Empire you most know as Byzantium is huge. They speak to Greek hearts truths that hurt.
But that's history.
They seam to have deep knowlege about their scandinavian ancestors and the Empire. Congratulations to this band that could easily be real honorable Varangian Guards.
Yes all empires fall its nature's law that what is born it dies.
I felt with this song that i was on the walls on that day of May of 1453.
Bravo!
When I listen to this song, I can't stop thinking about partition of Poland. RIP Commonwealth 1795. "But out of the ashes a new day will dawn"
One of the most gloriously over-the-top epics I've ever heard - and I've heard a lot. Sometimes MORE *is* better. It suddenly looks like Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish and Warlord Nygård of Turisas will be battling over which one can compose the grandest spectacle.
_Never_ get tired of this song! Since 2011!
This is a masterpiece of a song
Listen this in the morning, feel epic for the rest of the day!
Hant & Portal VIII i've been sad because of this song..for whole day..
This is giving a guy not used to metal a whole new perspective on the genre!
Metal Ballads are like... the BEST metal has to offer, it's hard not to love them.
Das Finale ist einfach grandios!
I hope that on my burial they will play this song or Eluveitie's Eternity. If I ever write a last will and testament this will be the first thing I'll mention.
RIP The Roman Empire 1453
the stupid monks in 1453, chose to pray instead of *fighting* and save Byzantium
Iordáin Breathnach The West? Do you mean these betrayers that attacked Constantinople in 1204? Both East and West Roman empire are to blame for the disaster. Well, at least Rome was saved. But since I am a Greek, I can tell you that losing our center, Constantinople, was a tremendous disaster. Asian hordes now live very close to us in Anatolian penisula
Well it looks like historical wrongs are about to be righted with Erdogan leading the country to its doom. Maybe Putin will restore Constantinople to Hellas and the Hellenes
+Iordáin Breathnach putin won't help greece
Jester Lord Why not? Greece are natural allies of Russia and an ally having control of the Bosphorus straits would be alot better than Turkey with its Ottoman Sultan having it
One of the most Epic songs I've ever heard!
SO EPIC! Thank you for your lyric video, kind stranger! Please, keep 'em coming :D
Dem fish!
Aaron Kalat JUST LOOK AT THEM
This is the strangest cover of My Way I've ever heard.
Totally, utterly, superbly EPIC.
But out of the ashes a new day will dawn~
Thanks for the lyrics. Very appreciated
Master piece
I quite enjoy how they used other examples like Stalingrad and Waterloo.
@blushenka He is indeed under pressure to deliver the goods with 'Imaginaerium', seeing as how 'Stand Up and Fight' made it all the way to Terrorizer's Album of the Month when it was released...
The lyrics give me goosebumps, because i can relatate this text in two ways. The history of vikings and own experience and moments in my life
@EdikShepherd
My friend Byzantines NEVER existed.
In fact they were medieval Romans.
In 1453 the last emperor signed as Imperator Romanorum in latin
and as Autocrator ton Romaeon (gr: Αυτοκρατωρ των Ρωμαιων) Αugoustos.
Roman Empire died in 1453 actually. The fact that Greeks were the last Roman citizens is an other matter. :)
Interesting, but what is normally thought in History is that the Bizantine empire was the Oriental part of the Roman Empire that survived the barbarian invasions, i mena Constantinopla which would be in Turkey (not very close to Italy) was the capital, so i wouldnt say they were exactly Romans, but i am not really an historian....
Leaders will always try to paint themselves as the followers of a great empire that came before, so as to not lose legitimacy.
If we go with that Logic Alexander wasn't a Macedonian because he understood himself to be a leader of the Greek people and he died with that belief.
In the end, however, he is a Macedonian.
@@DrunkenCoward1 Macedonians are Greek lmao
@@DrunkenCoward1 Macedonians are greek and Byzantines were romans
GOOOOODS!
Great song
Constantine XI Palaiologos will come back...I'll just wait.
Really love this Song.
God Damn Awesome !!!
awesome
sounds like a metal version of le miserable'
wasnt there a small byzantine kingdom in Trebizond that fell around 1460
sRazor96 its about Constantinople..
@AnthoniusII Look on the bright side though, the Romans, continued by the Byzantines, lasted longer as a nation than any other power in the history of man. Beating the competition by about a thousand years!
@AnthoniusII Partly true, just making the point that the Byzantine Empire is the legacy of the Roman Empire
No day like 5/29 to hear this song
So much better than the tralala love songs in pop radio
5:01 POLTAVA THROWN TO CERTAIN DEATH AND PAIN SWEDISH SOLDIERS MET THEIR BANE! SACRIFICE THEIR LIVES IN VAIN! POLTAVA!
i love you
I was listening to this song when i heard about Hentai Haven.
@thisusernamenowtaken Very true. I also thought about Nightwish in the beginning. And I couldn't agree more, definitely "one of the most gloriously over-the-top epics I've ever heard". And I hear a lot of Metal music :).
I LOVE this song, so don't get me wrong but 'What is this? Look at all these Fish' is such a hilarious lyric lol
If you would make a small research in Middle Ages Roman Empire's myths (you call it Byzantine but its wrong) you would find out that when Constantine The Great finished New Rome -the one you call Constantinopolis- there was a prophecy that the city would fall only when fried fish would come out to the city's shores. In there despert times people of Constantinople claimed that saw such fish in the shores of the city so the city was doomed no matter what. That droped even more the population's morale. Remember that in 1200 Constantinople had 500000 people when London and Paris had the same time 15000 people each, but in 1453 the city had less than 50000 people that became supersticius in maximum way.
@@AnthoniusII Yeah but it doesn't change the fact that the line is ridiculous. Usually when you get a lyric this weird and corny it's a parody band but Turisas was taking themselves seriously which made it stand out. It seems like they could have included the historical evnt without one of the cheesiest lines in power metal history (and that's saying a lot given the level of cheese in power metal).
I feel you. There are a few songs out there where they just suddenly drop an utterly hilarious line in the middle of a song and it takes you out of it for a moment. Like I mentioned to the above person I get the historical context but surely they could have included it in a less clunky line. Still a great song.
tru dat
11th of May 330 - 29th of May 1453...
5:37 rise up!
come on 6 likes to go people!!!!
@thisusernamenowtaken : Looks like Tuomas is losing ;)
"The taller they are , the harder they'll fall"
Maybe but so will the republics and when that happens maybe a new Empire will rise.
Hail Napoleon
Poltova...
Morea I think but wasnt very important
Manzikert (sigh)...think about it, if the Romaioi (ie the Byzantines, a 14th century name) had survived as a bulwark against Islam....
Jay Felsberg if only... Sadly Anatolia is now overrun by Muslims and constantinapolis has been defiled and renamed as Istanbul. I might be a pagan but I carry more sympathy for Christians than Muslims, I say we start a new crusade for the reclamation of constantinapolis and Anatolia for Greece and perhaps the reformation of the Byzantine empire.
The Varangian i would actually impose the return of constantinople to greece and other historicall claims that greece may have over turkey in order to be part of the EU
Great song. But we defeat byzantium with great victory
Byzantium was weakened ruin crippled first by Venetians and their false-Latin Empire and then by various uprisings. Your "great victory" was like beating dead corpse.
@@romanjancura9651 well no. Byzantine was retaking Anatolian lands after the Manzikert. But in 1172 ör 1176 Kilijarslan ii beated 100.000 strong byzantine army with little numbers he had and then this was the real start of falling of Empire not the 4th Crusade
@@romanjancura9651 Battle of Myriokephalon
One day the puny Nation of turkey will fall like the rest. History will laugh it's face equally like the rest.
@@fatihkoc7075 ''100.000 strong byzantine army'' they havent been able to field an army this size since the last Roman-Sassanid war. Losing against numerically inferior enemies is a turkish tradition, Byzantine tradition is the one with civil wars.
Somebody play this for Trump
That doesn't even make sense. Try harder.
