lyrics

Andromache
As the sun falls today
As the moonlight veils the sky
I gaze upon the plain
I see Ilium cry in vain
O Gods above!
You take it all
The Earth now is silent and void

It happened yesterday
The clash of shield and blade
A sound of thunder came
And took my life away
The night sky
It seems so dark
Though heroes have fallen
And rise to the stars

Andromache
Beyond the pyre’s bright light
The wind lifts your ashes from the earth
Euterpe echoes your legend
And takes it forever in the wind

Achilles
As the sun falls today
And the sea reflects the light
The plains are empty now
As the pyres reach the sky
O Gods above
Why should we fall?
Is Olympus also in mourn?

Achilles
Beyond the pyre’s bright light
The wind lifts your ashes from the earth

Andromache
(From the earth)

Achilles
Euterpe echoes your legend
And takes it forever in the wind

Andromache
(In the wind)

Andromache/Muses
Beyond the pyre’s bright light
The wind lifts your ashes
From the earth

Achilles
(From the earth)

Andromache
Euterpe echoes your legend
And takes it forever in the wind

Achilles
Forever by the wind

Achilles/ Andromache
Beyond the pyre’s bright light
The wind lifts your ashes from the earth
Euterpe echoes your legend
And takes it forever in the wind

Echoes of Bronze Santiago De Querétaro, Mexico

A multinational collaboration project, Echoes of Bronze is inspired by the legacy of the Bronze Age mythos and heroic values that ripple throughout history.

Our first album, ILIUM retells the Trojan war epic as a metal opera, combining melodic storytelling vocals with heavy metal to deliver a dramatic and nostalgic experience about rage, glory and the cost of war. ... more
