"Nostos" is the third single from the new upcoming Orion's Reign album "Scores of War" (October 19th) by Pride & Joy Music. "Nostos" is an ancient Greek word, describing the return of a hero by sea. The return isn't just about returning home physically, but also about retaining your identity upon arrival, after this extensive journey (e.g. return of Odysseus). We are more than happy that in this long journey we had Minniva with us, who we would like to thank (find her links and info below)! Enjoy!

Lyrics:
The night is falling in silence
Waking up the spirits of the sea.
In peace I am closing my eyes
Praying to the Lord His promise to keep.
Thinking of the life
That I didn't follow
The green meadows back home.
After thirty days in the water
I can finally see my home
Holy star of the mystical sunset
Oh my Lord I can sense my North
I was in fear and I was in awe
But I survived this unjust war.
Suddenly a roar of thunder
And our ship is losing control.
Here comes another stormnight
Waves are strong but so is my soul.
Time travels back
To my precious childhood.
My father whispers "valour"
Two-faced misty ocean, I'm a eagle in the sky
I'm standing, I defy you I will I will I will I will not cry.
And when at last I reach my harbor, when my boots are finally dry
I'll live in love and peace until until until until I die.
I was in fear and I was in awe
But I survived this unjust war.
Two-faced misty ocean, I'm an eagle in the sky
I'm standing, I defy you I will I will I will I will not cry.
And when at last I reach my harbor, when my boots are finally dry
I'll live in love and peace until until until until I die.
