Citadel Lyrics
Languid waves of desperation fall before the rains
A vanguard to approaching war is borne upon the sea
The icy breath of cyclones bent on waging our destruction
Drills hard against the hearts of heroes called here to defend
And I see storms on the horizon
I see the tempest at the gates
(I see the tempest at the gates)
I see storms on the horizon, and a citadel alone
Clinging brave, defying fate
(Defying, defying)
And I will stand here at the gates
And face the onslaught, fighting
Without surrender or defeat
With Troy besieged by tyrants' greed
In Hector's memory, God willing
We shall save this victory
Without surrender or defeat
Sudden silence, I realize, breaking teardrops in the rain
With every breathing moment, the pillars are sustained
And waking hands attached to nothing, tightly clutching close
Each sleeping vision speaks unheard and heaven only knows
I see storms on the horizon
I see the tempest at the gates
(II see the tempest at the gates)
I see storms on the horizon, and a citadel alone
Clinging brave, defying fate
(Defying, defying)
And I will stand here at the gates
To face the onslaught, fighting
Without surrender or defeat
With Troy besieged by tyranny
In Hector's memory, God willing
We shall save this victory
Without surrender or defeat
Paris' arrow landed true
Paris' arrow landed true
Paris' arrow landed true
Down upon your heel...
This Troy... she will not fall again
This Troy... she will not fall!
And I will stand here at the gates
To face the onslaught, fighting
Without surrender or defeat
With Troy besieged by tyrant?s greed
In Hector's memory, God willing
We shall save this victory
Without surrender or defeat
And I will stand here at the gates
To face the onslaught, fighting
Without surrender or defeat
With Troy besieged by tyranny
In Hector's memory, God willing
We shall save this victory
Without surrender or defeat
A vanguard to approaching war is borne upon the sea
The icy breath of cyclones bent on waging our destruction
Drills hard against the hearts of heroes called here to defend
I see the tempest at the gates
(I see the tempest at the gates)
I see storms on the horizon, and a citadel alone
Clinging brave, defying fate
(Defying, defying)
And face the onslaught, fighting
Without surrender or defeat
With Troy besieged by tyrants' greed
In Hector's memory, God willing
We shall save this victory
Without surrender or defeat
With every breathing moment, the pillars are sustained
And waking hands attached to nothing, tightly clutching close
Each sleeping vision speaks unheard and heaven only knows
I see the tempest at the gates
(II see the tempest at the gates)
I see storms on the horizon, and a citadel alone
Clinging brave, defying fate
(Defying, defying)
To face the onslaught, fighting
Without surrender or defeat
With Troy besieged by tyranny
In Hector's memory, God willing
We shall save this victory
Without surrender or defeat
Paris' arrow landed true
Paris' arrow landed true
Down upon your heel...
This Troy... she will not fall!
To face the onslaught, fighting
Without surrender or defeat
With Troy besieged by tyrant?s greed
In Hector's memory, God willing
We shall save this victory
Without surrender or defeat
To face the onslaught, fighting
Without surrender or defeat
With Troy besieged by tyranny
In Hector's memory, God willing
We shall save this victory
Without surrender or defeat

It seems to be a cross between what is being alluded to and the fall of angels.
One word: Iliad. I think we all know whether or not Troy was able to defend itself "without surrender or defeat". ;)
Ha, Troy fell, due to their own stupidity, and well, of course due to Odyseus. But I really like this song. Has any one heard the song Never Surender/Citadel. It's a remix I think, but I like it alot better than this one. Almost the same lyrics.
If anyone was curious about HearMeWhisper's post, Never Surrender / Citadel is a remix by Clan Of Xymox and it is on the Fortress in Flames remix album.
There's also an Iris Remix of this song, on the Fortress in Flames EP. Worth buying, for sure.
