The First Veil Of Snow
03:43
|
|||
Like fresh air to the flame
Instance of extinction
Like a breath drawn in vain
As if we were never here...
As if we were never here at all
First veil of snow covers our graves
As if we were never here at all
Seasons go on, forgotten race
No more!
Leaves turn to grey
The world won't remember
No more..
Crumbling relics of the past,
Great works that fall into dust
No one to see the epitaph
Nothing will stop the fading
Into forever
Eternal
Veil of white, wash away
Into oblivion
Time goes on, crushed by days
Fading evermore
Freeze into memory, eternal.

On the bloody field of battle, we were not to win this day.
So we fought without hope- our only goal to make them pay.
Though we killed a dozen score, we were slain to the man
And as my sight began to fade, I saw the Valkyrie descend from on high
For this we gave our lives, to fight by Odin's side
To defend Asgard from the mighty hordes of Jotunheim
We'll storm the Ship of Nails, we'll walk through Surtr's flame
At the sound of Gjallar-horn we'll fight and die in Odin's name!
We will fight, we will die
As they cross the rainbow bridge, condemned souls arise from the mist!
The poisomn breath of Jormundgand tries to wrest <jolnir from the Thunderer's hand
The Fenris Wolf carries Odin to his Wyrd, and by his son, Vidar, he is avenged,
And as the gods and giants kill each other, there will soon be nothing left to defend.
Nothing left...
Carry me to my fate,
Glorious Valhalla awaits!
On the day when we take the field
Our enemies shall taste the steel
Of the thousands of the fallen
The halls will crowd with the Chosen
Though there will seem too few
When the wolf arrives
At the sound of Gjallar-horn
All will know it's now time"
Once again we give our very lives...
And so we gave our lives...

Wings Of The Blood Eagle
06:55
|
|||
All across the misty night
The air is thick with the smell of blood
The horses shiver in fright
A nervous hand fumbling for his sword
What good is steel against the spirit world?
From this haunted place, we shall not return
O, this cold wind brings death
On wings of the blood eagle
So this is how I reach my end?
Run through with fear of these shivering ghosts
Grasping at the last dying rays of hope?
Run for your lives, Wyrd has come
Flee before us
Oblivion awaits you,
Flee before us
Death on black wings, ravens cry
Die on our spears
Trampled to dust, hand of doom
Die before us!
There is no hope, all hope is lost
What good is steel against the spirit world?
From this haunted place
We shall not return.

Of Blood And Sunset
05:21
|
|||
A spirit frozen in time,
A body rooted in the winter night
A prisoner of the Earth
Condemned to stillness for eternity
He sees all time pass before scarred eyes
Thhoughts of a thousand hears without voice
He burns with the cruel sunrise
The sunset brings to him unwanted life
Enslaved immortality
A burden borne forevermore
Lost among the misty pines
Forgotten grave, unhallowed, haunted ground
Destined to see till the end
But none shall hear of any prophecy.
No one will hear these words I'm screaming
Or sense the echoes that I'm feeling.

Relic
08:44
|
|||
Lost in willful ignorance, embittered and angry at the world.
Your spirit rots within you, your hollowness devours your insides whole
You see all life with dead eyes.
Relic- a man whose time has passed.
Though he doesn't know it, he's one of the last.
Cynic- one of cancerous soul
Already dead inside, though he does not know
Trade your free will for your faith and your freedom to be safe
And your mind for rigid dogma and you call it virtue
When the world has changed and you're left out of place
And you don't know you've been betrayed by your own truth
O, blessed storm, scatter and fade into time,
Cleanse the lies, and drown all the ash with the tide
Lashing out with venomous hate, sinking deeper into self righteousness
What a blessed feeling, if only for a fleeting moment's dream
It would be to descend into madness
When your life comes to an end, will you comprehend
That which you lost and when, it's all laid to rest,
Will you accept? Or will you leave this life screaming?
When your life comes crashing to an end-
Will you have the will to understand?
When it's over, will you accept?
Or will you leave this life
Kicking and screaming and struggling to understand why?
We shall rejoice, now
That you hold no one in thrall
We will dance and celebrate
The birth of this new dawn
We shall rejoice, now
For no one hears your words
The lies have been cleansed
And are no longer heard
For the last of the relics you are
Left to vanish like a distant memory
For the last of the relics you are
Laid to rest and put out to sea
Forever your spirit will dwell
Among the smoldering embers of all history
