(Skeptik) The war of legends Begins this twilight Under the crimson glow of The blood eclipse Oh this flame will last forevermore This winter's storm will still rage on So many years of darkness Still these tattered flags refuse to fall (Misery) This fog engulfing This war eternal This stance of conflict Sees not an end in sight Oh this flame will last forevermore This winter's storm will still rage on So many years of darkness Still these tattered flags refuse to fall (Skeptik and Misery) Oh this flame will last forevermore This winter's storm will still rage on So many years of darkness Still these tattered flags refuse to fall

Dark Oasis 05:22
lyrics

The fog's so thick i can not see a hand stretched in front of my face Knee deep in the smothering creek water Apprehensive of the shadows circling beneath My eyes fixated on the glow of a pale light Hardly comprehensible Enchanting hypnotizing To the point that i do not believe that i control my own advancing Unreservedly compelled into an unrelenting gait Moments Seconds Minutes Hours Slip into this trance I can feel the Eyes of something Lurking Watching Burning through the ash Of the glowing embers descending ever so complacently Sweltering but warranting no physical reaction As i plead against my own approach i'm growing ever closer to the point that draws my body And has taken my entire will & force I'm no longer controlling my actions I breathe but cannot gather strength to scream for help There is no escape from this magnetic force That pulls me ever closer to this Dark oasis No longer does my pace continue Branches snap beneath dragging feet above the clay I can feel this creature of the forest that has ravaged Any similence of power that was previously me As the pale glow that beckoned me with paralyzing deviance Is near enough at present i can feel it warm beside my flesh A sudden comprehension of a legendary dragon Pierces deep into my soul taking over and enlightening as Moments Seconds Minutes Hours Slip into this trance Summoning the Deepest Hidden Recess Of a Courage I attempt to grasp As i pull away and restore to a sobering ability The demon breathing heavily Anticipating consummation I unsheathe a shimmering and vital piece of weaponry And plunge into the jaws that drip & salivate & yearn for Blood is pouring from the mouth of my abductor Roars of agony explode into the midnight air The fog is thickening and clustering my thoughts As consciousness succumbs into this Dark oasis As the fog now clears & my eyelids part I can feel i'm trapped I am bound to this point of light Buried deep within the trees in this sea of black As down on the forest floor I am staring into eyes that were once my own This is now my throne I have no become to know the body of this demon as my Dark oasis

I have come To gaze at gods Beyond the slopes Of ice and snow This strange eclipse Will be my cloak They can not flee For i'm soon Upon their peak Where no mans been And none shall dare To reach again We have travelled for thirteen days To reach the base of hatheg-kla Waiting for fog and mist to bring the gods In chariots of the clouds No fear No reservations No regrets No second guessing We will watch the gods of earth Dancing where mortals have never seen Days and night Have passed without A trace of fog But lo’ the cliffs Now dress themselves In darkened wisps And now we climb And scale the rock At blistering pace And i can hear The howling gods Their screams i taste As we climb the laws of man Succumb to those higher of hatheg-kla Although the slope increases Greater the ease is To reach the summit now So bright So close So loud So now I am but moments away From watching the mystical dancing gods I have come To gaze at gods Beyond the slopes Of ice and snow This strange eclipse Will be my cloak They can not flee For i'm soon Upon their peak Where no mans been And none shall dare To reach again

Awakening 04:30

At the end of days light As the shelter of the sun retreats Sights pleasant in the light become nightmares Calm branches of the trees become menacing Oh how the light of the moon can alter senses As the fingers of dusk reach out across the world Somewhere deep in obscurity of twilight Lost within the shadows of woods the invocation begins Creatures gather around the glowing flames Engaged in a ritual meant to move the soil below At the edge of the cosmos the winds of change grow stronger Rise with fire and greet the horizon Take to flight and soar Find your heart Ascend from the ashes Shake the skies and roar Now the earth howls shifting underneath the roots & leaves Still these ancient creatures dance in ceremonial beat Now from the gathering's center Blackened wings unfold Stretching into the heavens and above the fog As the planets align and the cacophony of All the elements of the world harmoniously erupt Came the elegant beast up from the forest floor And the heart of the monster came to beat again The creature slumbering deep beneath the soil and ash Is awakened once more Rise with fire and greet the horizon Take to flight and soar Find your heart Ascend from the ashes Shake the skies and roar At the end of days light As the shelter of the sun retreats Sights pleasant in the light become nightmares Calm branches of the trees become menacing Rise with fire and greet the horizon Take to flight and soar Find your heart ascend from the ashes Shake the skies and roar Roar!

Subjugation 05:33
lyrics

Roar of the tempest bellowing above As the dawn of a new day brakes on the field Now with opening eyes open over the horizon Dark serendipitous clouds enter view As the touch of precipitation gradually strengthens Blood from the battlefield is cleansed from the wounds And the calm revelation can be fully understood As we come unto our feet above the sycophants of tyranny We greet the sun Suffering shall be undone Against all odds Unified defy your god Conflict is tithe Our pursuits is justified We will taste victory Subjugation of your king We cannot forget our village in perdition Scorned by oppression under holy facade How the minions of royals tainted our soil With the blood of the innocent and claimed it for a god We were driven to a pinnacle of bitter indignation And left without a choice but to retaliate attack So we take unto the challenge as presented by corruption And follow retribution to the depths of hell and back We greet the sun Suffering shall be undone Against all odds Unified defy your god Conflict is tithe Our pursuit is justified We will taste victory Subjugation of your king Now we see the walls of the kingdom and the distance Steadily encroaching on a credulous thrown While our numbers are but few we have yet to be diminished Not a worthy hindrance is present in our foes We have carried on for days we could carry-on for more We are ever dedicated to the mission and our hearts We will infiltrate the halls of divinity's descendants So as proclamation did buy the one under the crown Scaling the walls in serenity of twilight Vanquishing guards who impede our passing by In his chambers the lord of immorality is mused By assumptions that all who stand in opposition die But a stone from behind makes imperfect all his glamor And with knowledge that no longer will injustice reign supreme We have taken to your king and are ready for what must be done

Beowulf 04:47

From across an angry sea We've come to slay your cursed beast To the mead halls we'll lure the demon Our shouts rise far above the trees I am ripper Tearer slasher I am the teeth in the darkness The talons in the night Mine is strength And lust and power I am beowulf Ripper Tearer slasher I am the teeth in the darkness The talons in the night Mine is strength And lust and power I am beowulf A hero from the waves Shall inheret the throne of shame And all will know the name Of beowulf The mother of the curse Of water made her terms in haste A son for a son and glory unbound So long as the golden horn remains So many years and so many wars So many victories on so many shores So many secrets come crashing to light As the treasure returns on this glamorous night I am ripper Tearer slasher I am the teeth in the darkness The talons in the night Mine is strength And lust and power I am beowulf Ripper Tearer slasher I am the teeth in the darkness The talons in the night Mine is strength And lust and power I am beowulf A hero from the waves Shall inheret the throne of shame And all will know the name Of beowulf To strike the heart of the dragon The heart of his own flesh and blood And now the fallen returns to the sea in a burning ship His glory won at last A hero from the waves Shall inheret the throne of shame And all will know the name Of beowulf A hero from the waves Shall inheret the throne of shame And all will know the name Of beowulf

Rise & Fall 03:32
lyrics

We feel the bitter wind of the frigidly chilled & frosted isles The time to rise & conquer lingers in palpable angered cries We march for miles on end covering paths of snow & storm But knowing our passage is right & true we muster the strength of will to press on Press on The rise & fall Here we stand rise & fall Fight for justice fight for all One by one march through pain From their kingdom blood would rain Raise your fist to the thundering clouds & raise your voice The name of justice we defend with honor we've made out choice To stand and let the blades we carry & those of oppressors meet Or fall to the ground & genuflect on knees in a show of admitted defeat Defeat The rise & fall Here we stand rise & fall Fight for justice fight for all One by one march through pain From their kingdom blood would rain

Ragnarok 04:28

Now eternal winter is at hand 1000 days cold foreshadow a formidable time And with the brother of thor beneath the permafrost The plains of vigrid will await the battle coming to rise The aesir the jotunn Will meet to engage in final confrontation Go raise the giants Awake the dead & forewarn the gods Now the time has begun The keepers of asgard know That there is nothing that can be done That will prevent this time And with the strength of the dead on every side A dragon corpse eater from hell Will now be granted a feast No poetic incantations Can stop the coming war of gods Call upon your gods to fight On this apocalyptic field The call of destiny it beckons The end of all the birth of new The sword of flame wielded by the blackened giant will strike The walls of the realm of gods will be soon to engulf The serpent of the middle earth will arise from the waves And will be met by the hammer of the thunder god The fangs of wolves Will meet to consume the moon & sun from sky From helheim to valhalla Horns ring and accompany the battle cries A war to end all wars A war to end all worlds Will bring about a new beginning from the boiling sea And odin's only comfort Comes from the prophetic prediction Armageddon will not be the end of everything From the ash a new world rises A beauty born from disoray Call upon your gods to fight On this apocalyptic field The call of destiny it beckons The end of all the birth of new Welcome to the ending of an ancient world Pray & call upon your gods if you believe that they can hear Welcome to the final moments of the ragnarok As the twilight of the thunder god now is drawing near Welcome to the ending of an ancient world Pray & call upon your gods if you believe that they can hear Welcome to the final moments of the ragnarok As the twilight of the thunder god now is drawing near Welcome to the ending of an ancient world Pray & call upon your gods if you believe that they can hear Welcome to the final moments of the ragnarok As the twilight of the thunder god now is drawing near Call upon your gods to fight On this apocalyptic field The call of destiny it beckons The end of all the birth of new
