Cirkeln - Kingdoms That No One Remembers lyrics



Tracks



01. In His Deep-Hidden Hall

From the dawn of the cosmos - we are cursed
We are the blackened children of Utumno
We bear no names no titles
Sworn unto the dark against the light

But in silence, I pray
In unspoken words
'Ere the day we march
Neath the whips of our masters

But is there no god?
Is there no penance?
The burning of steel
The wreathing of flesh
By the fires of Mordor
As the eye watches me
We march to the farlands
Do we even know why?
My face clasped in steel

But in silence, I pray
In unspoken words
'Ere the day we march
Neath the whips of our masters
But one day may come
When mutants arise
From the whips of our masters
We'll break free

Far beyond the raven lands
We burn the cities ash to ash
A thousand flaming torch of ire
With teeth of death the putrid gnash
Once we were the first to live
Stolen far away from home
Burn them, steal them, with black blades shiv

With one
I will break free

When the moon has set for the sun
And the wars have been fought for the one
I crawl back into the lands
Into the pits from whence I came

02. Golden Rauros

[Instrumental]

03. Sun And Moon

By my father, I am bound
Like a dog fore my brothers
A spider's maws will set me free
Suck the light from the world

Take to the mountains of mankind
Down to the lake of the moon
Where the children wake
Where the earth may quake
A new age can bloom

We'll never be the same
As we take to the heavens,
and spell a new order
To the rim of the world

Where demons yet lie
And worlds are created
By the gates of the morning,
and the doors of night!

By the doors of the night
The gates of the morning
In my own time - the world will change
As the sun sets the moon doth take shape
Howl the wolf in ancient Angband
For the coming of the time

Can anyone remember what the world was like before time and space?
When demons ruled the earth and there was darkness
When elves did sleep by moonlight shores and men were yet to be made
Can we go back oh take me there oh let it be the same

By the doors of the night
The gates of the morning
In my own time - the world will change
As the sun sets the moon doth take shape
Howl the wolf in ancient Angband
For the coming of the time

04. Ships

Far beyond the grinding ice
Where many ships did once sail
In the lands of the undying
In the lands of the untold

By the trees of the light
Shadow cloak the world
From Thangorodrim descended
The dark lord of the world

And we ride on the ships that take us to far off lands
To seek a treasure stolen far from home
We slay the ones who stand in our way
By Feanor - O father!
We swear the oath and sail away on the ships

Away on the ships
We sail away
Take my hand
A quest for the silmarils
We sail away on the ships to the...

...lands of Helcaraxe
A host so pale and cold
Will we be forgotten?
A hero will be known!
But the noldor knows the way
Lead us not astray
We're guided by the star
To Angband afar!

And we ride on the ships that take us to far off lands
To seek the crystal stolen by claws of the dark
Beware ye who stand in our way,
By Feanor - O father!
We swear the oath and sail away on the ships

Away on the ships
We sail away
Take my hand
A quest for the silmarils
We sail away on the ships to far off lands

We sail away
Take my hand
We're the sons seven of Feanor!
We take what is ours and we ride away on the ships

We sail away!
To far off lands!
Away on the ships!

05. The Castle

I see the castle its eyes they peer from black raven's night
Fear inside me it grows all over my mind and it twists my sight till I
Feel a gust of dead winds it blows in my face
Fight - I fight with the steel in my sword and the pride in my heart

But is there a way out of this madness?
Has Earl Aubec finally met his doom?

In the Castle
There lies an answer to the questions
The Multiverse in the claws of law and chaos
We fight with steel for the answer yet to be told
There comes a champion!

Dead eyes they swirl and twist in the darkness before me
Cold - every step that I take is a promise of death in my heart
Tremble can I even be whom I know that I am
Virtue - a simple thought can never be wrought in a time of

Despair and misery claw from the walls around me
What spell, lies upon my mind?

In the Castle
There lies an answer to the questions
The Multiverse in the claws of law and chaos
We fight with steel for the answer yet to be told
There comes a champion!

His sword, his shield of gold
His heart drives him on his quest
The steel - shines bright for the truth
The quest for law begins at world's end

06. Sing Of Frozen Dreams

From the frostlands of putrid moon tower
To the plains of lands of the dark
In the master's deep shadow so black and so long
Stalking the city of death
I am of my master my master's ninth son
I take on the gift that is granted to me
By the spell of the one my time it will be

The valley of ancient death
To the altar of blood and stone
I go to the other side
Through a veil of storms long gone

When it's cold and dark
When the night is silent and sung
And a spell is cast, an answer, a whisper
I sing of frozen dreams

But the night
is so cold
It chills my bones
and my heart
forgotten
The words
unspoken
I dream of a land in the distance
Of a place of mountains so young
A mirror, an image of longing
A song to a home long gone

Light the fire
Bring the moonlight
Carry me through
to the other side!

When it's cold and dark
When the night is silent and sung
And a spell is cast, an answer, a whisper
I sing of frozen dreams

07. The Eye. The Throne. The Ring

In the land where the shadows lie
Where heroes of ancient days went to die
In unholy halls deep beneath the fells
Where no light of Evenstar ever may dwell

I sit on the throne
Fear my name as it rides
I forged the ring
The ring that spelled the doom of the time
In the tower of darkness
With the eye I see
On this day remember the name of your king was me

Darkness descends wherever I may ride
From the servants of Melkor, none can hide
I am the whisper in your ear
The shadow, the slithering fear

I sit on the throne
Fear my name as it rides aaa
I sunk the city
The city of the heroes of ancient time
In the tower of darkness
With the eye I see
On this day remember the name of your king was me

Unholy
Ceremony
I see
The ring of power
Is me

I sit on the throne
Fear my name as it rides
I waged the wars
The wars that brought the world down
In the tower of darkness
With one eye I see
On this day remember the name of your king was me
In the black halls of fire
Far away from the light
Under the sign of evil
I give this ring to you to be mine

08. The Dreaming City

The cackle of insanity
gone with the flames
A vision in the moonlight
Of what might have been

But can this husk recall?
Can we even see?
When Cymorill loved me
How it used to be

As the screams of lust and torment fill my mind
And a voice calls to a void beyond our own
Blood and souls for my lord must be awoken
Say, is there still something left of me

In the city of dreams
It calls my namew
Oh mighty Stormbringer
A new time it dawns in blood and souls
Over the city of dreams
Went the final soul
Arioch oh Arioch!
The sun doth set on the burning city of dreams

The sin of generations
Putrefied in cinder
The kingdom of an empire
Gone with the wind

I am the last one
Of a long noble line
A weak pale ghost
Shivering inside

As the screams of lust and torment fill my mind
And a voice calls to a void beyond our own
Blood and souls for my lord must be awoken
Say, is there still something left of me

In the city of dreams
It calls my name
Oh mighty Stormbringer
A new time it dawns in the city of dreams
Went the final soul
Oh Arioch oh Arioch!
The sun doth burn in the city of dreams

In the city of dreams
Went the final soul
Oh mighty Stormbringer
A new time it dawns in blood and souls
Over the city of dreams
Went the final soul
oh Arioch!
The sun doth set

09. Ainulindalë - Of The Music Of The Ainur

[Instrumental]

10. Kingdoms That No One Remembers

Forged in black ice
A war with the sun
Gather my legions
The light we shall shun
In deep-under black bits
where darkness shall reign
I wear the soot crown
Heareth my name

But in the kingdoms that no one remembers
No morning light can bring back the life
The ash of the kingdoms that no one remembers
Will spread to the wind be forgotten forever
Left is the name that you know to be mine

Underneath a pale blue moon
Wakes a people by a lake of ever bloom
Come with me, follow the sound
Hear my music, by its whisper forever be bound

We ride!

But in the kingdoms that no one remembers
The promise of falls gods is wiped from the world
The ash of the kingdoms that no one remembers
Will spread to the wind be forgotten forever
Left is the face that you know to be mine

The fire is black
The memory awoken
The spirit is black
The memory forgotten

Born in the kingdom that no one remembers
Your soul is black and shunned from the start
There be no penance for you and your kind
History remembers only the deeds
Left is the legacy you know to be mine
