Five nations rule the seas
In this age of exploration

By their monarchs decree
They search for glory, gold, and God

SUFFER DEATH, DISEASE, DECEIT

Six hundred nations more
Roam “lands of opportunity”

Ill-fated encounters
Life is changed perpetually

SUFFER DEATH, DISEASE, DECEIT

We are the sons and daughters of this savage history
Our existence; a tale of bloodshed, lies, and greed

Devastated by Ottomans, the Silk Road to the east
Westward bound, they set sail upon the ocean blue

THEIR ARRIVAL CHANGED, THE WORLD
TREATIES TORN; LANDS DEFILED

RIDE CONQUEST, WAR, AND FAMINE
SUFFER DEATH, DISEASE, DECEIT

The Arrival [Demo]

Instrumental Demo of 'Execution Of An Era' by Lindwyrm

This song largely focuses on the atrocities of President Jackson, the Indian Removal Act, the Trail of Tears, and the Seminole War. Lyrics below.

One hundred thousand
Lives destroyed,
Avarice and fear 
Guided their mind

Acts of coercion
Conquer these lands,
Ink put to parchment
They so proclaimed:

“We are the righteous
We are your end”

Fifteen thousand natives
Withered away,
These tears that they wept
Preserved their pain

Over the mountains
Cross the river,
Ink put to parchment
King Andrew sang:

“I am the herald,
Ushering the dawn”

Guideless through an endless nightmare

Forced Removal
Lost sovereignty
Westward they march
A harsh reality

Betrayed by their former ally

Cataclysmic
Age of rebirth
Execution
Of an Era
(Execution of an era)

Five thousand miles
They struggled on,
Eons of culture
Left - moribund! 

Perilous journey
To lands unknown,
Ink put to parchment,
Their fates! - now sealed!

Two centuries back, their kin suffered
Two  centuries on, their strife remains

Sacrilege upon sacred blood
Blight! the! water!

Blaspheme animistic bodies
Carnage upon the land

Adulterate the skies above
Gag the heavens

A new nation proliferates
Have your gluttonous fill 

Hail to the king,
The King Tyrant

Bureaucratic Ineptitude
Led them astray

Consigned to oblivion
Forget not this day 

Death to the king
The King Tyrant!

Execution of an era.
