On Raven's Wings
Fire
Burning in our hearts
Passion
Fuels our every move
Fury
The will to battle on
Determined
To see this through
One by one
The warriors fall
Guiding the way
The Valkyrie sing
Fate
Brought us to our end
Death
Has turned it's gaze on us
Staring
Out into the void
Valhalla
Draws our souls away
One by one
The warriors fall
Guiding the way
The Valkyrie sing
Ancestors beckon
We heed the call
Carry my soul
On Raven's wings
Where are your gods...
To lay your souls to rest?
Have they abandoned you
Discarded and forsaken
[Frosty]
Crying, out, in, vain...
Your, prayers, go, unanswered
Still, you, cling, to faith
As, the, void, envelopes you...
[Clean]
Across the battlefield
Bodies scattered
Fallen friends and foes
Lying lifeless
All equal in death
Spirits awaiting
Judgement day has come
Who among them is worthy?
As we charge headlong into battle
Every muscle in our bodies ache
A thirst for blood and a lust for death
Increasing with every life we take
Honor me
With a glorious death
As you cut me down
I'll curse you
With my dying breath
Primal instincts
Taking over
Whipping us up
Into a fervor
Mangled flesh
The light has died
Tortured souls
Unsanctified
Tonight I'll dine
With heroes and kings
Carry my soul
On Raven's wings

Runestones
09:08
|

Auspicious birth
The stars were aligned
Heralding the end
Of a troubling time
Legend fortells
Of a warrior most brave
Who'd become the king
Of the land he'd sworn to save
Many foes would cross his path
All would feel the bite of his wrath
None could withstand this overwhelming force
Nor lead him astray once he'd set his course
One for honor
Strength and glory
Carved on these runestones
His epic story
One for war
Victory and peace
Carved on these runestones
His legacy
One for each warrior
Who fought by his side
Carved on these runestones
Their deeds glorified
One for Valhalla
One for Hel
Carved on these runestones
The names of who fell
He ruled his kingdom
With a tempered hand
His forces swept
Across the land
To unite
Sworn enemies
Under one banner
To forge a lasting peace
Drenched in blood
We prevail
To march on
And fall another day
To fight
To die
To live again
We rise from the grave
Each time that he beckons
We are bond by our duty
To stand by his side
Through the magic of these runestones
Our bodies are revived
We repeat the cycle
Each time that we die
We fight on courageously
Staring death right in the eye

Become the Night

Cast
From the light
The shadows reach out
Pulling me in
They lay me to rest
Pain
My anchor
Dragging me down
Eternal descent
To depths unknown
The further
I sink
The more it feels right
To surrender my soul
To this entity
Twisting
Perception
Revealing the path
That I must walk
To purge this agony
I feel my muscles
Begin to atrophy
To evolve beyond this form
Is my destiny
I reach into the darkness
I pull back my own heart
Dripping with corruption
My greatest work of art
I surrender to temptation
And turn my back on the light
My eyes glow with unholy fire
For I have become the...
...Night
Comes
To chase off the light
To cover the world
In a blanket of fear
Rest
Now
For soon it will end
As nightmares descend
To tear you to shreds
Shedding
My flesh
Embracing the fire
The carnal desire
To corrupt the weak
Damnation
My reward
For reaping these souls
My only goal
Is unleashing hell
I feel my muscles
Begin to atrophy
To evolve beyond this form
Is my destiny
I reach into the darkness
I pull back my own heart
Dripping with corruption
My greatest work of art
I surrender to temptation
And turn my back on the light
My eyes glow with unholy fire
For I have become the...
...Night...
Circum-
stances
Led me down this path
A thirst for
Enlightenment
Curious to a fault
Darkest
Discoveries
Revelling in the rush
Forbidden
Knowledge
A bargain with the unknown
I
Will
Become
The enemy of life
I
Will
Become
The avatar of strife
(Throat singing)
Oh
I hear the Umbra calling
Appealing to my demons
Beckoning
Me to come closer
Oh
I feel my flesh dissolving
I have become the Spectre
My metamorphosis
Is all but complete
I reach into the darkness
I pull back my own heart
Dripping with corruption
My greatest work of art
I surrender to temptation
And turn my back on the light
My eyes glow with unholy fire
For I have become the night
The shackles of mortality
No longer hold me a slave
I've freed myself from this prison
And taken control of my fate
I've found the pinnacle of being
In the depths of depravity
I've reached apotheosis
For I have become the night

Fall of the Titan
07:10
|
|||
Silence rings out
Hope has been shattered
He's taken his last breath
The Titan is slain
Honor denied
The assassin is laughing
A great man is gone
His kingdom in mourning
Gather
All thee worthy
Pay tribute
To the king
A cowardly message,
Received loud and clear
His death had no meaning
A product of fear
To face him as equals
Defeat was assured
For on the field of battle
His victory, secured
Gather
All thee worthy
Pay tribute
To the king
Gather
All your fury
Spill blood
In the name of the king
We lit our torches
Held them up high
Gathered our courage
To bid him goodbye
Took up our swords
Set out on the path
A quest for vengeance
To deliver our wrath
We marched all night
Through rainfall and mud
Surrounding our foes
We came here for blood
Beating down the gates
We will not relent
'Til our enemies are vanquished
To their gods they are sent
War
We answered in kind
Death
No quarter in sight
Worms
Will feast on the dead
Carrion
Animals will be fed
Burning
Buildings
The city in ruins
Bodies
Falling
Amassing in piles
Fear and
Chaos
The price of deceit
Total
Destruction
The grim reaper smiles
Rise
Our hour is nigh
With steely resolve
We slaughtered the lot
They've taken their last breath
The Titan, avenged
Honor redeemed
His spirit can rest
Valkyrie descend
Valhalla awaits
Valhalla
Awaits
Valhalla
Open your gates

Pyre
08:09
|
|||
Build it tall
For all to see
Tonight we burn
His effigy
Raise your
Horns and your spirits
Higher
Make your peace
Leave your
Offering for the king
Upon
The funeral pyre
Say your
Final goodbyes
As we
Prepare to ignite
This ship
We've filled with treasure
The flames
Will dance in the night
Pyre
Built to the sky
Let the
Fire
Burn it to ash
Tribute
Paying respect to the
Titan
Who led the charge
Honor
The fallen monarch
Whose deeds
Lead us to glory
Wisdom
In all his actions
To leave
A lasting legacy
A cloaked figure emerges
From the cool evening mist
He cautiously approaches
A dagger clinched in his fist
He places the blade
Across the king's chest
He prays for forgiveness
Underneath his breath
Nobody knows
Who he is or what he has done
Or that his heart weeps
And longs for redemption
He departs
Just as quietly as he came
The slayer of kings
The assassin without a name
Dawn's light
Draws ever nearer
As we
Hang our heads low
Gathered
To see his noble soul
Off to
The afterlife
Weep not
For he is happy
He'll dine
By Odin's side
Valhalla
Awaits him with open arms
To fill
His belly with mead
Pyre!
Built to the sky
Let the
Fire!
Burn it to ash
Tribute
Paying respect to the
Titan
Who led the charge
Honor
The fallen monarch
Whose deeds
Lead us to glory
Wisdom
In all his actions
To leave
A lasting legacy
The moon shines brightly
As the waves come crashing in
We take a moment
For quiet reflection
We're gathered here
To pay our respects
To the one
Who carried us this far
Upon his shoulders
The burden of rule
The weight of the world
Heavy on his heart
For us he gave his life
For us he sacrificed
All that he was
Echoes into eternity
All that he was
Echoes into eternity
We push the ship into the waves
And commit His body to the sea
Let loose the flaming arrows
To ignite the effigy
As wood turns to cinders
Far away from the shore
His corpse remains untouched by the flames
Through magic most foul he will walk the earth once more
