In the lands of Central Asia
We had lived in prosperity
Till one day
When the Khan was
Tricked by the enemy
He gave the sacred stone
For the return of a Chinese queen
Unity of the land was broken
Then it all happened
Every creature in the land started to sound
An elegy in unison they cried
Begged to Sky-God for a way out
Then suddenly a mighty wolf
Come out of nowhere
Showed us the way
Göç ! Göç ! Göç !
Cried all the land
It was our destiny
Since the creation
In the dark before the dawn
Together we walked
Leaving our land
Leaving our life behind
Following the mighty wolf
Following the signs
We kept marching on
By day and by night
Kökten, Gök Tanri’dan
Kutsanmis bu toprak
Lanet var ancak
Kurtulus intikam
Intikam artik... Ölüm bizi...
...Çözüm degil ...Çagiriyor
Ben tanri gibi, tanridan olan
Ölümün kendisi, önümde diz çök
In the dark before the dawn
Together we walked
Leaving our land
Leaving our life behind
Following the mighty wolf
Following the signs
We kept marching on
By day and by night
Yüce Kagan der ki :
Kader önümüzdeki düzlüklerde
Batidan gelen ugultularin
Umut veren sesleriyle
Unutulmayan bir çiglik yükseldi
Rüzgarin sarkilari bir tek söz söyledi
Göç ! (x7)

Storm Avenger

Through the misty forests I walk
As the mighty trees grow old
Tales don't contain my name
Now every one fears my fame
Lost my mercy such a shame
Storm avenger they call my name
Nature flows through my eyes
Pagan blood fortifies
A constant thought in my mind
See through hate but eyes are blind
This fate I have been bound
No other life can be found
Storm Avenger breaches and takes out
Destroys everything on his way
Years went by since this fiend was trapped
No man can set it free.
Stars glint overhead
To unknown dimensions I fall
Drifting far, far away
And down
On an isolated rock there sits a grief-stricken man
With his head bowed down to his knees
Alone he curses his pride
Storm Avenger breaches and takes out
Destroys everything on his way
Years went by since this fiend was trapped
No man can set it free.
In the white light of the moon,
See me descend to emptiness
I count the years that I've wandered
A distant path now leads to blood
Storm Avenger breaches and takes out
Destroys everything on his way
Years went by since this fiend was trapped
No man can set it free.

Sons of Earth and Sky

Not many trees lay shadows to this land
we are the roots that lurk this wasteland
Since many generations
We have lived our pagan lives
Under the Sacred Tree which is
So old and so mighty
Witness it all,
As mother earth and father sky
give birth to a new day
Unless the sky above cracks
Ground below shakes
Who can spoil and shatter our faith
To our beloved land
Our lives bloom in this tree
We are the Sons of Earth and Sky
Winds whisper to our soul
We are the Sons of Earth and Sky
See the signs of this great power
Thunder Rumbles across the sky
Now our spirits are one with the land
No other light shall ever shine
Not many trees lay shadows to this land
we are the roots that lurk this wasteland
Since many generations
We have lived our pagan lives

Standing under a starless night
To see the meadows of the land
Some of us were born to give life
where some of us to take
Beyond your imagination
Journey through the abyss was my choice
My fierce and my true enemy Tigan
He was lost he was weak
I was there to take my revenge
I was there to kill him again
I've wandered the underworld
My skin turned pale
it's the price of the dark art
Eternal darkness covering the earth
As I who makes the stars dim rise
Crush his bones, make him suffer
steal his beloved horse
possess the beast's soul
Deadly wounds he has suffered
I've wandered the underworld
My skin turned pale
it's the price of the dark art
Eternal darkness covering the earth
As I who makes the stars dim rise

Khepra Istanbul, Turkey
Khepra is pushing the limits of extreme metal with mixture of symphonic and ethnical influences, pushing the limits of sanitiy with synthesis of eastern and western hymns.
