1.	Ursus Youth 03:31	lyrics	buy track
Eyes wide open Endless nights and days of snow White plains surround me And They're hiding the darkness below Pristine, once pure and true What once were many are now a few And I face this burden alone Frozen in the ice and stone I’m betrayed and blinded from truth They’ve enslaved and stolen my youth A soul unbroken Buried in steel; wires fused to bone Words left unspoken Night after night I'm dreaming of home And still my heart holds true One day my brothers, I will return to you. Far away from ice and snow Taken to lands unknown I’m betrayed and blinded from truth They’ve enslaved and stolen my youth Far away from ice and snow Taken to lands unknown I’m betrayed and blinded from truth They’ve enslaved and stolen my youth Will I be free to wander again? And one day return to my kin? There is one thing I know for sure No these masters they won’t take my soul
2.	Son of Cletus 04:15	lyrics	buy track
Kneel before me he said I am now your master Speak the words of allegiance And soon my orders will follow I’ll break you down And make you new You’ll be my servant Forever true No more a coward You’ll learn to fight Now speak the words And step in the light Here I stand before you now I am the son of Cletus The might of a thousand legions They will not break, no they won’t defeat us Unleash your wrath upon them he said Not one must live don’t let them go His words came through but I could not kill No woman, nor child, no one’s blood spilt I broke you down I made you new Made you my servant Your oath untrue You’re but a coward Ran from the fight You spoke the words Now you must die Cletus hear me! No more am I your slave I will not kill these innocents For your wretched race Your wicked mission of supremacy Will come to an end I will butcher your army And bathe in your blood Here I stand before you now No more the son of Cletus The might of a thousand white-clad legions Will rue this day and will be defeated Here I stand before you now No more the son of Cletus The might of a thousand white-clad legions Will rue this day and will be defeated
3.	Crimson Frost 04:15	lyrics	buy track
Harbinger of death I’ve arrived Hatred burning in my eyes You’ve engineered my evolution Now I seek my absolution There’s no hope As I descend upon your homes I slay you all and watch you suffer Dead and gone just like your brothers Far beyond the white horizon As the battle rages on I keep my eyes to my salvation But the war must still be won The beast you once had tried to tame Has broken free from all your chains Raw fury coursing through my veins The hammer falls on crimson frost Clad in steel I burst through your walls Warriors flee as your towers fall I reach once more to draw my saber And charge into the inner chamber One more strike As I come close to take your life I bring you do-own to your knees and Purge the world of your disease Now I see a clear horizon As the battle rages on I keep my eyes to my salvation But another war lives on The beast you once had tried to tame Has broken free from all your chains Raw fury coursing through my veins My freedom bought on crimson frost From the clutches of death, I’ve survived Under corpses; entombed alive I’m fighting forward to escape But now it seems I’ve joined their fate I’ve lost hope But I’ve made a difference on this day A mass of bodies all surround me I watch their empire fall around me Now I see a clear horizon As the battle rages on I keep my eyes to my salvation But another war lives on The beast you once had tried to tame Has broken free from all your chains Raw fury coursing through my veins The hammer falls on crimson frost
4.	Sin Eater 04:47	lyrics	buy track
I emerge once more Triumphant from the fight I feel the power flowing through me Steel still on my skin I scream into the night And fall down to my knees Then I hear voices calling to me Coming from far beyond Telling the tales of the ancients Drawing me home Centuries pass but to this day We are still hunted A race so cruel with boundless hate No more will we stand this Speak, I hear them speak But not with clarity I journey far into the night Close, I'm getting close But still words I can't hear I rush forth into the light Now I hear voices closer to me But still I press to hear Telling the tales of the ancients I feel their fear Centuries pass but to this day We are still hunted A race so cruel with boundless hate No more will we stand this Ursus, heed my words It is time to take your place Upon the throne To lead all the bear race to victory Centuries pass but on this day No more will be hunted A race so cruel and bound by hate They too will be hunted Rally the hordes with ancient smoke And slay the corrupted No more with bear's blood will snow be soaked Now bring them to justice Choir: Ursus Armatus Commedenti Peccatorum

about

Originally conceived in 2007 by Angelo Garcia and Martins Platais, it was not until December 2015 that they decided to bring Ursus Armatus to life. Einars Spics came to join the group as the drummer shortly that same year.

Ursus Armatus ("Armored Bear" in Latin) is the epic story of a polar bear, Ursus, who is kidnapped as a bear cub by Cletus and his army of white supremacists and forced into slavery.

Forced into powered metal armor, Ursus turns against his master and his underlings to wage a one-bear war against the legions of Cletus.

Be ready for the album to drop and to experience the prologue to the most epic saga ever written!
