lyrics

Listen, my friends,
To a tale old as time –
It was painted by wind ’cross the starlit skies.
Listen to whispers
Of bracken and moss
Through the mists and the stillness of night:

A long time ago,
When our world was still young,
Caught in tormenting throes of a dawning time,
In this turbulent era
Of brimstone and flame,
She was born to the light of new day.

Her first breath was life,
Her touch was creation.
It turned desolation to greenest grass.
With blossoms unfurling
’Neath soles of her feet,
She would bring forth the age of the spring!

Come! Let your gaze now lead you to a place far away,
Across the plains, across the forests, to the edge of day!
Here in this sacred grove she rests who gave us our lives.
See once more her forgotten beauty through her sacrifice!

Wherever she went
There was beauty and life,
Herds of wondrous creatures would trail her step.
To the ocean, the mountains,
The plains and the sky,
She would walk ’cross the world and beyond.

Mankind rise!
The world is ours for the taking!
Empire in the making! Destroy!
Devour all!
To fuel our desire,
To rise ever higher, consume! Now!

You are blind, your path leads to ruin,
Heed my warning, change your ways!

Mankind rise!
Cut down and slaughter!
Nature is nothing but fuel!
Destroy them all!
The weak and the lesser.
Nothing will stop us! Crush the world!

You spell your doom – the bane of your kind!

Bring destruction, bring extinction, nature falters, crush the world!

Oh my dearest, foolish children, look what you have done:
You’ve wounded me, but destroyed yourselves, this cannot be undone.
Yet there’s hope in my love for you, but it comes with a terrible price.
Learn from it, oh my dearest children, from my sacrifice!

Death will cleanse you of greed and wrath,
As I will wither away.
In hope you will look for a better path,
With you in your heart I shall stay.

Come! Let your gaze now lead you to a place far away,
Across the plains, across the forests, to the edge of day!
Here in this sacred grove I rest who gave you your lives,
See once more the forgotten beauty through my sacrifice!

The War To End All Wars
by Sabaton

supported by 5 fans who also own “Gea”

Sabaton manages to rise from the sea of mediocrity that has plagued them in the last few albums. This album once again has some good and distinct songs, not just grey mass. I can feel that they put some work into this one. pghm

Elusive Reflections
by Persona

supported by 4 fans who also own “Gea”

It's a great blend of different metal genres and styles, with great solos in basically every song, just that touch of oriental influences that feel natural but not artificial and above all else, performed by the beautiful, haunting voice of Jelena Dobric, who uses it in a way that is not the typical operatic approach as we are used to from other female-fronted bands wormys_queue
