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

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

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
