Quod est super
Pervenit, amice
Satus totus
Relinque omnia
[Verse 1 (Death Growls - English)]
Once upon a time, there was this knight
Who had nowhere to go and felt all alone
His family had died, it was a crime
(HARSH SCREAMS: The perpetrator escaped, he got away)
[Verse 2 (Death Growls - English)]
Moving to the docks, a ship he bought
Formed a crew of sailors and had his clothes tailored
The knight went aboard with his shield and sword
(HARSH SCREAMS: He sailed through a storm, destinations unknown)
[Pre-Chorus 1 (Choir - English)]
He served the crown for years
Now, it was time to leavе
[Chorus (Clean Vocals - English)]
Sail across the seven sеas
Looking through the everlasting smoke
Try to find your inner self
Only you can write your epilogue
[Band and Choir Opening (Latin)]
Quod est super
Pervenit, amice
Satus totus
Relinque omnia
[Verse 3 (Death Growls - English)]
Anywhere he went, the knight had met
So many foes to fight, was at the inn at night
He drank lots of wine, it tasted just fine
(HARSH SCREAMS: Slept with many girls, paid them all with pearls)
[Verse 4 (Death Growls - English)]
That was gonna change, because one day
He heard of a myth from the local smith
It was about Maeve, the Northern Maid
(HARSH SCREAMS: She was kept in a cage, since an early age)
[Pre-Chorus 2 (Choir - English)]
So he prepared a course
And set out to the North
[Chorus (Clean Vocals - English)]
Sail across the seven seas
Looking through the everlasting smoke
Try to find your inner self
Only you can write your epilogue
[Operatic Post-Chorus (Choir — Latin)]
Nauigare ad bonum
Quaere alium mundum
[Operatic Post-Chorus (Choir — Latin)]
Nauigare ad bonum
Quaere alium mundum
[Acoustic Bridge (Clean Vocals & Soprano Solo — English)]
Even in the coldest of the winters
When it snows and ice surrounds him
Or at night, whenever he shivered
The brave knight did not give in

LATIN: Ah, ubi nunc es
ENGLISH: Oh, where are you now
LATIN: Ah, dilectus vir
ENGLISH: Oh, beloved one
LATIN: Ah, fusce id est
ENGLISH: Oh, it is so dark
LATIN: Ah, cum exieris
ENGLISH: Oh, since you been gone
[Interlude 1 (Clean Vocals — English)]
The Maid was all alone (she’s alone)
Grieving over her loss (a huge loss)
But little did she know (did not know)
That a royal knight would come (he would come)
Gazing across the sky (big blue sky)
Suddenly, she felt warmth (all this warmth)
Running through all her veins (through her veins)
In her body, soul and heart (soul and heart)
[Interlude 2 (Death Growls — English)]
As his ship reached the shore
He stepped onto the pier
And saw her from afar
(HARSH SCREAMS: Then his heart had skipped a beat)
He thought this was just a dream
It turned out to be wrong
This feeling he once had
(HARSH SCREAMS: It was actually true love)
[Operatic Bridge (Soprano Solo and Choir)]

[Interlude 3 (Clean Vocals — English)]
He saw her on the cliff (on the cliff)
And walked over to Maeve (walked to Maeve)
The knight had found new love (found new love)
She then whispered in his ear (in his ear)
Please let me come with you (come with you)
Be a part of your world (of your world)
The knight then kissed her lips (kissed her lips)
Both of them had become one (become one)
[Interlude 4 (Death Growls — English)]
He took her to his ship
They departed on time
Leaving the Isles of Mists
(HARSH SCREAMS: Far away for good, for life)
After so many years
He had died of old age
She sang her song once more
(HARSH SCREAMS: Upon visiting his grave)
