Andreas Skotadis - First Circle (Limbo) Lyrics

The leaf of veil, of ashen light The souls Endure eternal night
No wails, no flame, no stormy sea Just Echoes of that that could not be
Upon a hill, the castle stands Seven Walls, immortal hands
Where wisdom soars, then falls to dust In faithless void, they place their trust

A kingdom built in mortal fame Where None shall rise to heaven's flame
Their virtues glow but cannot soar For Grace with hell forevermore
A shadowed realm of might and lore Echoes whisper nevermore
Virgil, master of words and guide Speaks of those once glorified

Homer sang of gods and kings Aristotle taught the truth of things
Plato dreamt of form divine Yet all Abound in sorrow's line
They wander where no light exists Enthroned in knowledge, yet lost in Dreams
Their virtue shines, truth each regret A Heavy depth they can't forget

Reason reigns, yet hearts implore For grace with hell forevermore
A shadowed realm of might and lore Echoes whisper nevermore
I turned to speak, my voice took fright From Caesar's shade beneath the Twilight
Great conqueror, what led you here? He answered low, his tone austere

My deeds were great, my will stood Strong But grace alone rights every Wrong
Then Saladin, a noble flame Spoke of Battles, glory, shame
I led with honor, held my ground Yet by Heaven's gates I am not found
A kingdom built in mortal fame Where None shall rise to heaven's flame

Their virtues glow, but cannot soar For Grace with hell forevermore
A shadowed realm of might and lore Echoes whisper nevermore
Virgil speaks, our path must go To Depths where cruelest torments flow
Leave behind this timeless grave For Darker truths await the brave

With heavy steps I leave the wise A Sorrow weighs as the vision dies
Thanks for watching
