[Intro]

[Opening Chant - Somber]
In shadows deep and forests old
Where ancient stories go untold
The elder gods now fade away
As new bells toll at break of day

[Verse 1]
Thor's hammer falls silent in northern halls
While Saxon axes strike at sacred walls
The World Tree trembles, her branches weep
As crosses rise where stone rings sleep
In Uppsala's temple, the fires grow cold
No more offerings of silver and gold
Odin's ravens fly their final flight
As monasteries shine their holy light

[Chorus]
They're fading now, like morning mist
Their names forgotten, their altars missed
Ancient powers slip away
Into twilight's dying day
(Into twilight's dying day...)

[Verse 2]
Zeus no longer rules from mountain high
His temples crumble 'neath Mediterranean sky
Apollo's oracle speaks no more
As fishermen paint crosses on their oars
The sacred olive groves stand bare and still
No more dances on the marble hill
Athena's wisdom finds no home
As all roads lead to Christian Rome

[Bridge - Whispered]
Can you hear them?
In the wind between the trees
In the shadows of the stones
In the whispers of the seas
They're calling...

[Verse 3]
Isis weeps by Nile's ancient shore
Her mysteries taught and shared no more
The desert sands reclaim their space
As new prayers echo in their place
Great Osiris sleeps his endless sleep
No more vigils do his followers keep
The Book of Dead lies closed at last
As newer stories of salvation pass

[Chorus - With Growing Intensity]
They're fading now, like morning mist
Their names forgotten, their altars missed
Ancient powers slip away
Into twilight's dying day
(But listen close on winter nights...)

[Final Chorus - Ethereal]
So remember them, like morning mist
Their names still whispered, their presence missed
Though ancient powers fade away
Their echoes haunt us to this day
(Their echoes haunt us to this day...)
[Closing Chant - Fading]
In shadows deep and forests old
Where ancient stories still unfold
The elder gods may sleep, not die
Still watching from the twilight sky...
