[verse 1]
Rage glimmered In those Princely Eyes
Thunders Reflected in Fire-borne Skies
A thousand bodies lay dead in the barren Wasteland
An Unholy Communion of Blood & Sand

[Verse 2]
The Prince Walked Heavily , a Bow on his Shoulders
Trampling is Heart like – Stone Cold Boulders
The Unrelenting burden of Guilt
Upon his Conscious Built!!


[chorus]
To Save Their land - FROM CONQUEST
To Save Their Women – FROM SLAVERY
To Keep the Honor – OF THY KING
To taste the blood red Wine – FROM ENEMIES LURKING WITHIN

[Interlude]

[verse 3]
He fell to down-to his knees
Saw the Carnage Up-Close
The Futility of War – the lust for blood
Deathbringer from the Sky! – this sentinel HE CHOSE!

[chorus]
To Save Their land - FROM CONQUEST
To Save Their Women – FROM SLAVERY
To Keep the Honor – OF THY KING
To taste the blood red Wine – FROM ENEMIES LURKING WITHIN

[Interlude]

Solo 1 (Sid on first joined by Rishi on second)

[Explosive Interlude # 2]

[Folk Solo 2 : Sid]

[verse 4 ]
Wicked visions raced his mind
Disintegration of Human Kind
Only a Mad hope – someday this would End
No more DeathWarrants – to be sent!

Lead Solo 3 : Rishi

[chorus]
To Save Their land - FROM CONQUEST
To Save Their Women – FROM SLAVERY
To Keep the Honor – OF THY KING
To taste the blood red Wine – FROM ENEMIES LURKING WITHIN

Lyrics by Shreyas Gune.
------------------------------------------------------
Outtakes (Shreyas) - I wrote this song , just after maybe 1 month of deciding to form a band , a folk metal band. I had already written many death metal songs , but somehow , this seemed a lot better.
To be honest , I wrote this song in like 10 minutes. This is the very first song I wrote for Eximius Dominus , and then I went ahead to write 3 more , with a couple of days. I figured , we really need to have songs written down before we compose it. Its after about a month or so that the primary compositions took place with our ex-guitarist Chinmay Patkar , before taking on drumming duties, i gave sessions vocals for this track. Then in late October 2009 , he left us , and Sid came up with a completely different take on the song itself. Now , I must say - its to my complete satisfaction. All the sections are well done and precise. Danny has done an excellent job with Vocals.

Hmm , so , what this song is about , basically its about War. The old war , fought on battlefield. Its sorta self reflective lyrically. I had pictured Ashoka when I wrote this song , but its not entirely based on him. This is though a generalized concept track. The chorus , was conceptualized well in advance as being an anthemic shout-out types! This was done keeping in mind , that we include the listener too! 

So , this was the first single ! Thanks for reading. 


Soul Bleeding From The Battle Wounds

Lyrics : 

In the cold mountains , he rides with the mark of royalty 
Resembles the pride , of the forgotten
Galactus superbus , rises from the ancient lands
Destinies forged by the bloodstained hands

Emerging from a black hole
Across the fields of gold
Hearts of mere mortals , they turn to stone
Crimson tint horizon , the red dwarf shone

Chorus
He is the one who ponders , through the forbidden lands -he wanders
Conceal your tears and sorrow , for a new day will dawn tomorrow

Spirit rises from your eyes ,
centuries of myths deceitful lies
cease thy thought , our will is strong
we march till infinity , singing along

Ride on your pride 
Guided by the starlight
Full with hopes of victory
Our lives will forge the history


(CHORUS)

Rise- through the other side
Fight – the human vengeance , alive!
Control , the future of the – Trolls!
Unfold , the secrets of the scroll!

Confide , through the blackness of the night
Burning skies alight – menace in my stride
Underworld beckons the call of the dead
Hades hordes amass ,through the  dark caverns depths

Voyaging through the milky way
Into depths afar..
Looking through the hourglass 
Dying of a Star..

This is the title track off our album 'Heroic Ascension'
The general outline of the song is based on epic themes
of bravery , valor , war , sadness and melancholic elements.
The song is divided into sections , each of which projects a certain emotion , complementing the mainstream of the lyrical content.

Certain Cosmic references are indicate a universal theme , and a mild connection past and future , embodying a singular element.

The General Outline of the song is really about a larger than life hero , that is , in one way or the other - inside among all of us.
the context shifts periodically but the central theme of heroism remains the main focus, at all times

Heroic Ascension

This is an instrumental track inspired from a character in shakespeare's Julius Caesar named Marcus Junius Brutus . It is a slow song , with different moods and elements to it. The name is derived from the 'Stoic Disposition' that is displayed by Brutus's character. According to the plot-lines of the album , our hero wanders through distant lands , dealing with loss and sorrow - the ability to practice restraint , and be rejuvinated with the natures reviving capacities. Enjoy this track as a mild transitory track.

Stoic Disposition

This was the first demo recorded back in the day.

Lyrics : 

The Third Sphere from the Lot
All Cracked , its Crevice'd Armor
Scarred – the Symbols of Battles fought
To Safekeep ,the icy lands honour

For EUROPA – We all Shall live
For EUROPA – We all shall Die
For EUROPA – Our Heart Yearns
For EUROPA – Our Muscles Burn
For EUROPA – We all Shall live
For EUROPA – We all shall Die
For Europa – We all are ONE!
Without Europa – WE ARE UNDONE!

The Warriors March Forwards -Women & Children Stay Back
With Spears and Mallets and Swords – Sharp

Galloping through the Icy Lands , to Face the Enemy Attack
Fighting for their land , Fighting for their lives!


No need to heed the Wise-men's warning
No place for sorrow , for baseless mourning
Every single day , their bravery grows
Every swords slice , they vanquish their foes

For EUROPA – We all Shall live
For EUROPA – We all shall Die
For EUROPA – Our Heart Yearns
For EUROPA – Our Muscles Burn
For EUROPA – We all Shall live
For EUROPA – We all shall Die
For Europa – We all are ONE!
Without Europa – WE ARE UNDONE!


They rode near and Far
With horses and Scars
Golden chariots , Demonic Intent
Bare witness , suffocation of life
Humankinds barbaric descent!

Warriors of Europa
Strongest of all
Warriors of Europa
Where Scars Run Tall
Warriors of Europa
Answer the Battle Call
For Europa
Our Bravery shall never Fall
