Embers of Remembrance
08:54
|

|
As daylight fades and the shadows grow longer
In the burning embers I see past, present and future
The dancing flames go higher and higher
At the break of day banners will rise and smoke will fill the sky
Dark clouds blacken the horizon and freezing winds blow
Still in the darkness we gather eagerly awaiting the dawn
As I gaze into the fire I remember the freezing nights and the warmest days
Shall death embrace me on this day or the next
For what tomorrow brings will be decided in blood
The dancing flames rise higher and touch the sky
The fire rising paints the bloodred sky as worlds collide at the break of dawn
Forged in fire and baptised in steel
In the burning embers I see the truth revealed
As millennia before and after this day tomorrow a new day will dawn
Will I be here to see it?

Call of Steel
06:51
|

|
Across the open seas and the valleys wide
Hear the roaring call to sharpen the blade
Cast doubt aside for strength is forged in fire
In the trial of honour and steel where the true shall triumph
Through wind and rain chasing the endless horizon
Across mountains high that pierce the eternal sky
The wind whispers on a calm silent night
As the clouds clear and reveal the celestial sign
Heart of fire and wrath of steel
Follow the sign and spill the blood to those unworthy
Fury like thunder striking with force
Under the sky and the stars I fulfill my quest
Across dark woods brooding and desolate lands of ice
Guided by the ravens and radiant stars above
Cast fear aside for bravery is forged in fire
Hear the thundering drums of war in the distance
Saddle the horse and gather your weapons
Ride towards where the bronze horn calls for battle
The wind whispers on this calm silent night
As the clouds clear and reveal the astral might

Night's Black Wings
03:34
|
|||
|
The sky is black as wings of the raven
The waxing moon casts shadows long
Piercing howls and morbid screams echo through valleys and woodlands grim
Death came at night and set the sky ablaze with axe, spear, sword and shield
Swift as lightning, remorseless as winter's frost, riding on night’s black wings
There is no peace, only cold death
Stalking on the hour of the wolf
Only a faint kiss of the blade to enter the eternal black

Ravaging Flames
06:14
|
|||
|
By great numbers we came and so few of us leave
Taken by fire and flame to eternal sleep in the cold earth below
Blood flows with the river and paints the skyline
Land ravaged by fire and the souls now sleeping below
Through hellscape in ashes I walk the soil that once grew green
Through the crimson haze above I see the havens bleed with golden rays
Blood flows with the river and paints the skyline
Land ravaged by fire and the souls now sleeping below
Ships and homes burned to cinder
Land ravaged by the hatred of man

In Northern Twilight
07:16
|
|||
|
In the morning first daylight I gaze at the crimson dawn
Like the fiery embers of last night’s fire where we sharpened our swords
Blades of burning steel shall spill blood again
With the might of winter a cold wind passes through the land
In the shadows of midnight where we walk in secret as moonlight stains our swords
Hearts of iron will
Under northern twilight that light these barren lands
Towards empty skyline the stars shall guide us on our path
In these ancient forests as old as the sky and the sea
The land awakens from the slumber of winter's remorseless grip
Gods of land and sea watch from the sky above
As we prepare for the trial of this cold winter day
The coming of spring is felt in the haven bleeding with sunlight’s rays
Awakened from cold sleep are the land and the sea
In northern twilight we ride through barren lands
Towards empty skyline the stars shall guide us on our path
In the light of the day we write a story of triumph
Whatever fate brings we face with wrath of iron
Under clear and glaring sky the wind sings with victory
Land of unforgiving winter awakens to the glory of day

Warmth of the day like embers on my skin
With echoing thunder we gallop across the fields
And the wind whispers memories of days gone past
Now again with blades of shining steel we ride
Snow white horizon shimmers with blinding light
as the cold northerly wind blows in my hair
And sight of the horizon brings memories of days gone past
Now again in the sunlight's embrace we ride
Like of the changing of seasons or the cycle of the day
The wheel keeps turning as the warrior prevails
In the wind and the rain I ride forever on
With all my strength I scream to the eternal sky
Faintest whisper
Coldest rain
Warmth of the sun
Bring me back
