[Lyric] IraNos - Part 1: The Final Song of Man (Niovel)

And thus the world was on the verge of demise
Global resignation, no more will to rise
Days before the tree of life would be felled
A final conclave was held

A young, nameless scholar stepped up and spoke
His master had failed an attempt to invoke
The subject of legends older than man
His final desperate plan
The rite near completion, but something went wrong
A barrier too strong

He recounted the tale of a city of yore
Home to the last pre-calamity corps
Maintainers of balance, crest of the grail
Keepers of the scale
The place that is bearing humanity's cross
Forgotten Ira'Nos

Ira'Nos
Noble fortress, reappear
Open your gates, the aspects are drawing near
Stand your ground, persevere
You will answer their calls
From your everlasting walls
For you are Ira'Nos
Ira'Nos
The young, nameless scholar led the chosen group
Of sword, staff, and collar, crossbow and lute
Toward the frozen river mouth
A barren land down south
Not all would make it but it might suffice
They knew the likely price

At their destination the seven await
The senate had reforged this pact of ill fate
The circle was formed, incantations began
The final song of man
Revelation or failure, victory or loss
Arise, o Ira'Nos

Ira'Nos
Noble fortress, reappear
Open your gates, the aspects are drawing near
Stand your ground, persevere
You will answer their calls
From your everlasting walls
For you are Ira'Nos
Ira'Nos
