- 01 - The Path Unsought
He can not eat,
he can not sleep,
he can not see that death is coming,
I know there’s nothing more I can do
In fits and dreams he speaks to me,
he says these things beyond belief;
I can not take his words as truth
- 02 - Upon Ashen Wings
This night my son,
keep your eyes to the sky,
against the black see their shadows for miles
They come with vengeance and hate in their hearts,
it’s time, they fly, prepare
There’s no escape when they take to the air
So come on over,
- Arise
I can’t shake this heavy burden, as we pass the mountains deep in foreign land
I am travelling with the legions, of a power that would seek to conquer man
And I must admit the lie, I’ve been keeping this whole time, I should fight for the other side
So with all my strength and pride I stand up and I cry
CHORUS:
Arise and follow your heart again, all souls in one are intertwined
Brothers in arms we will meet the end, and find the light beyond this life
- Astral Annihilation
Run tonight, lest death find you
There's no escaping from this raging fire
No running from this flaming universe
Watch the stars collide as we fight
Among the far outreaches of the sky
- Daughters OF Winterstone
Demand, consume, repeat the cyclical flow
Man, stolen in the night
Ripped right from the arms of his child
Drain the workforce
Torn, forced into the dark
Working for his heart, cold and blind
More than they can bear
- Dawn Of Ages
Begin our journey back through mists of time
As we arrive at the dawn of mankind
Engulfed in hatred, the world is at war
A sword is made to bring peace evermore
[CHORUS:]
Created by the nobles one
Raised by champions, Great Defender
- Frozen Steel
Beyond the tundra and past the sea, a people have risen tall, soaring past the barriers that their kind have faced
And driving them on, a strength that can’t be stilled
Tales have been told of how they won their home
[Chorus]
Warriors, ungodly worshipers of cold
Warriors, of ice and snow
Warriors, the frozen north is where they ride
- General Of The Dark Army
Beware the General, his army comes to call on the dawn
Behold the conqueror, the universe will suffer darkness
Face your death with pride, he will watch it and smile
And feel good inside
Senseless, running is, he'll rip you apart
With eyes as bright as stars, he will slaughter you all
Without remorse
- Going Down Fighting
[Verse 1]
Come on, you’re the one that brought us here, I can’t believe what you say, tell me you’re kidding
Hell no, you’re not gonna leave us stranded here, no way, you’ve ruined everything
Can’t you see we’re lost without you, though we hate to say
There's so much at cost; you know it’s true, and you can only take
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, we’ve heard it all before, and now we’ll hear it once again
- Heartless World
You're a living sinYou're the harlequin in a one act playAnd you've given upEven though you can't say whySo your hero died back in 69Well that's no excuseTo go lose yourself in an FM headphone highIt's a heartless worldIt's a heartless worldHave you had enough?Are you going back to that crazy place? Are you listening?Am I talking to myself?Well it's sad to say but it's just that way
And it'll never change, never changeHave you won or lost?You know it's hard to tellIt's a heartless worldIt's a heartless world
Yeah
And some room to breathe may be all you needto get on your feetAnd the time to step outside and see the skyOo, no, no, no, it's a heartless worldOo, no, no, no, it's a heartless world
Yeah
Will you control meWould you please hold meDon't let me show my vicious sideIf you disown meIf you've outgrown meI'll change my name, and say goodbye
- No More Heroes
They who hope for a savior,
and stand idly by waiting for aid
Will never rise above this
merciless fate handed out to them deemed unworthy
Lowly pawn,
move only when I say
Sheltered by ignorance,
culled by naiveté
- Northwest Passage
CHORUS:
Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
VERSE 1
Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there it was said to lie
- Soulstorm
There is a storm coming,
I can feel it in my soul,
watching the sky go dark
as thunder speaks to me
Menacing clouds approaching,
they will wrap us in the cold,
tempest rising
- Ten Thousand Against One
Ten thousand against one…
Misty fields before me; forces assembled here still wander in their dreams
Bloodshed forthcoming with the dawn, a burning horizon beyond
Behold!
I have arrived, time for war
Gather your shields and your swords
- The Fall Of The Galactic Guard
Hail undefeated protectors, soldiers unfailing in all
Guiding image of perfection, such a long distance to fall, and they fall
Blazing polished armour is fading (Fading away)
Glory turned to spoiled reputation (Spoiled, tarnished)
Butchers, like voracious creatures sweeping the land
Corrupted by the thirst to overcome all
- The outlander
CHORUS
Hear him calling out
Don't be a fool, cast away this solitude
Behold the wisdom which reveals the truth
Cruel twist of fate, or foretold destiny
Welcome the power it is yours to take
Out of the sun, a figure comes
- The Path Unsought
He can not eat, he can not sleep, he can not see that death is coming, I know there’s nothing more I can do
In fits and dreams he speaks to me, he says these things beyond belief; I can not take his words as truth
He comes to say his piece...
I know he’s travelled so far to find me in this landscape, perilous and full of unknown treachery
And now he’s giving his life to tell me things I can’t face, how could I betray his utter trust in me?
- The Ritual And The Reckoning
A new age, A new golden age is upon us
The sun shines on obsidian, this blade will plunge into a holy reverie
Upon the altar lies the one who's worthy, we'll pluck his heart from his chest cavity
(Time to die)
Between the peaks that rise, his chalice fills with rivers of sacrifice
And when the time is come, his drink will spill onto the steps of the sun
- Time Stands Still
Abandon this sun
What’s done is done
And time will go on and on
It won’t be long
We will come
And time will go on and on
Hold on, though it seems that the end
- Tonight we ride
Hold on to this moment for all time, this is the night we ride
I hear them calling our name
Raising the flag and fueling the flame
I’ll find my destination; don’t tell me where to go
I won’t give in this time, feel the power
Not this time, scream it louder
