Lyrics:
Souls bond in passion
A cult united
Ardor and fire, melt into one
Intense merged fervour
A flame that burns
Nourishing fancy, raises the groan
And for sure we were never in search for fame or fortune
It’s the essence that meant
Chorus:
Here’s my ode to the missing ones
Ode to the poetry and the songs
It’s what’s vanished in life
that reminds me the past is forever
Here’s the reel of the heathenry
A cult for the outcast ones
The dance of the days long gone
that reminds me the past is forever
Preserve the flare
Undying spark
Strong dedication, never succumb
The past is still awake
I can feel it in the memories
Shadows of past thoughts – phantoms of life
We have never bowed our heads to their scams
Always true to the ideal
Chorus:
Here’s my ode to the missing ones
Ode to the poetry and the songs
It’s what’s vanished in life
that reminds me the past is forever
Here’s the reel of the heathenry
A cult for the outcast ones
The dance of the days long gone
that reminds me the past is forever
As a keepsake of our youth, memorial of our core
I shall cherish forever the allegiance that we swore
Every token a precious jewel in the treasure chest
In honour of the immortal bond I’m feeling blessed
