Lyrics
Listen to the thunder of the forces they reveal
Listen to the voices of the Gods we conceal
Fortress of the Nemrud is tearing down the wall
Breaking all the gates through the essence of the call
Come before the sacred heart and sacrifice the mind
Come before the silent invitation to the signs
Let us enter frightened ones, supress the need to hide
Let us cross the river's streams unto the other side
Out of the distance... of all time and space
As the river of the floating with the gentle grace
The river of the Euphrates reign on me
The river of the Euphrates reign on me
