Malice of Illusion
07:30
|
|||
Banished as my dream is torn asunder
By the cold harsh light of morning
Though I'm reaching, no returning
To the place I was before
Unrelenting snow and sorrow
How I yearn for endless midnight
And the warmth of stars embracing
Where forever I may wander
In the swirling mists of time
Lost in tranquillity of night time's throne
The deep serenity that draws me all alone
Now soothe this troubled mind of winter’s cold
[Heed the warning of the night]
Alone and undefined is not how I grow old
[The wind so cold, reclaims my soul]
[Enraptured by the night time throne
Enraptured by the night time throne]
Faced with the darkness of man’s inner hate
Staring into the unknown
Betrayed by illusion and trapped by our fate
Malice now sits on the throne
Lost and alone, we’ll find our way
With the stars as our guide, return one day
As the blood of our Father’s runs through our veins
For kin and for home we’ll fight again, fight again
The mist calls out my name
And the moon reveals the way
Dawn’s first kiss of light is my guide
From troubled mind, I will return
Banished now my dream is torn asunder
By the welcome sight of morning
Through the malice of illusion
I have found myself again

The Winterstone
05:31
|
|||
Through the falling of the leaves
Beneath the blackened sky
Amongst the withered trees
Ravaged by wind so cold
Her voice it beckons me
And slowly echoes in my dreams
A song of sorrow
That can never be revealed
Enraptured I long for your touch
But know that you’ll never appear
A love song of sweet words unspoken
That all turn to serpents when they reach my ears
Fists of iron, heart of stone
How you wound me, I don’t know
Once and again we will dance on the wind
Until the end when the sky crashes in
Dying to hold, but unable to feel the warmth
Of a winter’s kiss
A mind that longs for freedom
And a heart that longs for peace
So lost in endless longing
Only death my sweet release
How I yearn to slip away
Fall forever through the stars
Shall I face another day
With the cold that grips my heart
You took from me mortality
And etched me in the ground
My eyes were frozen shut
But they see much clearer now
Forever I will watch you
And my soul will find it’s peace
As I gratefully surrender
And I welcome your release
Fists of iron, heart of stone
You shan’t wound me evermore

Guardians of Time
06:40
|
|||
As I wonder at the beauty of nature around me
And the moonlight it gleams through the canopy above
Enraptured I’m captured and taken aback
By the calming embrace of the forests I love
The roots of the trees so deep and so dark
Implanted in the ground, once the seedlings of time
The song of the leaves and the words of the bark
The whisper, come hither, that intrigues my troubled mind
The wolf of the hill keeps a watch in the dark
As the world lies in wait for the first glimpse of dawn
He tears at the earth and he howls on the wind
To the moon he so loves
And each night the valleys echo with his anguished cries
I’m carried away by the sound of the silence
With grace and beauty divine
My mind starts to wander of fantastic beasts
The vivid most fantasy trapped in a starry-eyed child
Mystery entwined in the tales of the woods
Spears shall be shaken, wind time, wolf time
Ere the moon falls
Brother kill brother for purpose divine
Ere the world falls
How fickle the will and the want of man
The dark clouds of greed that smother the dreams
Of the purest of hearts, with the best of intents
Yet our solace lies only in the embrace of trees

Across the Frozen Ocean
06:10
|
|||
The vast abyss surrounding future undefined
Trapped in the tempest and ravages of time
The distant glimmer of the dawn horizon calls
Caressed by the ocean the winter sun is born
And with my waking eyes I see the distant shores of home
And in my dreams I see the shores of home
I’m drifting away like a fading memory
[At the mercy of the winter so cold]
Lost where only waves will bury me
[Icy fingers clutch to the soul]
I long for the times when stars cascade from the heavens and into the sea
[Into the sea]
For that is the moment
That is the moment when I bring home back to me
Born of the tide take the wind in our stride
As the depths beckon below
Sons of the waves at the prow as it sways
‘Cross the frozen ocean we go
Sleep soothes with hollow words
While waking mocks with distain
Time and tide wait for no man
But the embrace of stars remain

Upon the Shores
05:47
|
|||
Banners raised daylight fades
As darkness consumes all in sight
Sand and stone our earthly throne
Embracing the last winter’s night
Come dawn in hand upon the sand
Our weapons raised to the sky
In Odin’s eyes our battle cries
To Valhalla we fly
Leaving the mortal behind
In my earthen tomb enshrined
Here upon the crimson shore
My soul lives on forevermore
Fare thee well for sleep awaits
Take our place beyond the stars
In eternity’s embrace
Ride for glory victory is ours
Here we ride [We ride] across the land of time [We fight]
Here we ride [We ride] until the morning light [We die]
Here we ride [We ride] beyond the crimson tide [We fight]
On the shores tonight we die [We die]

Augury of Death
03:35
|
|||
With a battle cry
Loose the arrows fly
Rain of death blacks out the light
Torn asunder
Ever wonder
Will we make it through this fight
As the raven circles high
To war
With the ever-watching eye
The hand of death looms near
Swift and malevolent to fear
With a battle cry
Standing side by side
Spear and shield against the tide
Quoth the raven
Lo, forsaken
He will feast on flesh this night
With a battle cry
Now the end is nigh
Hel unleashing
No remorse
Wings of victory
Flames will bury me
Here upon the blood-stained shores
Clashing steel reverberates my soul
The victory is won
The augury of death is overcome
We're greeted by the blood red sun
The battle o're, now we stand as one

Voyage Into Eternity
06:30
|
|||
Gazing to the midnight sky
With the starlight reflecting in my eyes
Searching for divinity
Through chaos comes my clarity
Seeking answers that escape me
Learning, yearning, still evades me
Hidden treasures born of stars
A journey written to be ours
For through death we find eternal life
Only if we are proven right
I wish to stand before the gates
And see what road my soul shall take
We burn as one
Through the ages we sail away
With flags unfurled for another day
The earth, the wind and the seven seas
Our voyage into eternity
