Circle Of The Tyrants Lyrics
After the battle is over
And the sands drunken the blood
All what there remains
Is the bitterness of delusion
The immortality of the gods
Sits at their side
As they leave the walls behind
To reach the jewels gleam
The days have come
When the steel will rule
And upon his head
A crown of gold
Your hand wields the might
The tyrant's the precursor
You carry the will
As the morning is near
I sing the ballads
Of victory and defeat
I hear the tales
Of frozen mystery
The new kingdoms rise
By the circle of the tyrants
In the land of darkness
The warrior, that was me
Grotesque glory
None will ever see them fall
And hunts and war
Are like everlasting shadows
Where the winds cannot reach
The tyrant's might was born
And often I look back
With tears in my eyes
Grotesque glory
None will ever see them fall
And hunts and wars
Are like everlasting shadows
And the sands drunken the blood
All what there remains
Is the bitterness of delusion
Sits at their side
As they leave the walls behind
To reach the jewels gleam
When the steel will rule
And upon his head
A crown of gold
The tyrant's the precursor
You carry the will
As the morning is near
Of victory and defeat
I hear the tales
Of frozen mystery
By the circle of the tyrants
In the land of darkness
The warrior, that was me
Grotesque glory
None will ever see them fall
And hunts and war
Are like everlasting shadows
The tyrant's might was born
And often I look back
With tears in my eyes
Grotesque glory
None will ever see them fall
And hunts and wars
Are like everlasting shadows

How has no one commented on this song? It is great.
great song, im suprised that only one person commentated on this song though. I also have no idea what it means but i still think that the lyricsare great.
quiffporn, your in ever single lyric i look up!
I think this is about a soldier who realises the madness in killing and fighting on command from the politicians and head honchos and flees the country.
A few bands do covers of this masterpiece. The two bands I recommend, if you are into them: Opeth Obituary two 'O' bands doing great job of covering the song.
Can anyone post "Ground" lyrics. Its a new one by them, but Tom says in chorus, "Oh god, why have you forsaken me" I want to know lyrics!
I'll post the lyrics to Ground today, along with the others from the new album.
