High Command - Beyond The Wall Of Desolation lyrics



Tracks



01. Inexorable Darkness

Inexorable darkness tearing through the light
A violent storm of certain death creeps upon the sky
Mystifying winds of despair
Destroying all
Into the darkness we ride

Weaving through the forest across the river of blood
A cosmic veil of spectral light emerges from the fog
Drones of sonic doom echo against the void
I reach for the blade

"I am the seer of all four realms, I bring you knowledge from the shadow dawn."
Into the darkness we ride

What is being? "A trial, a challenge"
What is sacred? "The power of steel"
What is promised? "Only death"
When will the darkness fade?

"When the moon glows crimson
And the mountains shatter
When your eyes grow hollow
And the forest screams"

02. Merciless Steel

Marching onward through the gates into the valley of death
Abhorrent screams of pestilence echo in the dark
Chilling waves of torment, blind savagery
The mystic force of Panthior must be overthrown
Breaking through the catacombs, the onslaught begins
With instruments of vile death we'll show no mercy

Merciless steel
Sentenced to the pit
Fall to the hammer
Sentenced to the pit

Thrown from the cliffs of agony
To burn in the immortal blaze

Chilling waves of torment, blind savagery
The mystic force of Panthior must be overthrown

Rising from the ravage flames the shadow god appears
With the power of illusion our true test begins

"Dikeptor... What punishment does failure demand?"

Struck by the hammer of vengeance
Impaled by the sword of wisdom
The entity of fear crumbles into ash
Return to the realm of fire

03. Impaled Upon The Gates

A forbidden maze of chaos below the hanging moon
The forest of confusion
Mythic lands of pain
Spirits of the ancient realm gain power through the trees
A cosmic shield of vitality to protect the crystal throne

There lies a truth within your fears
Beyond the darkness of mortal souls

Entranced by the fog
Possessed by the woods
Drawn to the tomb
A fortress of deceit
Fighting through the hellacious halls of the cursed demigods
The amulet of clarity brings strength to the mind

There lies a truth within your fears
Beyond the darkness of mortal souls

Six swings from my iron sword paints a scene of violence
Leave the heads of your feeble gods impaled upon the gates

Impaled upon the gates

04. Devoid Of Reality

What lies beyond the arcane dark?
What is hidden within the winds?

It's creeping up, hunting you down, from the depths of your consciousness
Reaching beyond the great unknown
Devoid of reality

Thunder echoes underneath the burning eye
Divine powers of perilous mystery

Fade into the mist of Vitrallion
Tormented abyss of apprehension

It's creeping up, hunting you down, from the depths of your consciousness
Reaching beyond the great unknown
Devoid of reality

As lightning strikes illuminate the demise of all
Purveyor of doom
Succumb to the master's call

Frozen in fear like the ice upon the moon
True chaos looms within the balance of the blade

"The age of ruin
Before the dawn of Secartha's rule
When valor flowed with the waters and fires burned with sorcery
The cryptic lords forged a dagger deep within the mountains of molten glass
A sacred weapon to protect all four realms
The seer knows all yet he trusts this quest in you
The dagger waits enshrined in stone beyond the wall
Retrieve the blade and spill the blood of the serpent god
The moon will bleed when the time has come
Beyond the wall of desolation."

05. The Commander's Code

Into the vast forest of death I welcome thee
Sharpen the blade of my iron sword
Light the fires on the torch, soon you'll realize your impending doom

A choir of daggers cut from below
A dark soul illuminates under the blood moon's glow
The shrill horn of death, under a blackened sky
As the lightning strikes, we'll creep through the night

Panthior, this is the end. A viscous circle has broken at the seam
No regrets, your name is void
The spectral wolf howls at the frostbitten sky

A choir of daggers cut from below
A dark soul illuminates under the blood moon's glow
The shrill horn of death, under a blackened sky
As the lightning strikes, we'll creep through the night

We forage through the sacred ruins
A celestial force demands the tipping of the scales

To Secartha now, with unruly force
Vehement opposition, take back the throne

We'll creep through the night
Take to the night

06. Vision From The Blade

From the gates of hell
Arise from oblivion

The unknown realm of profound sorcery
Follow the wolves to the tower of ice and stone

A stream of enchanted water, dark as obsidian
Submerge the sword in the blackened depths
Reveal the truth

Visions from the blade
Abysmal pain lies beneath the bleeding sky
Timeless agony drawn to the depths of abomination
To Xartania... Crush the rule of Tutericon
Summon the beast
Sound the call of the heathen clouds
Embrace the darkness
A spectacle of death

Visions from the blade
The power of steel bends to no man

07. Forged To Kill

Lurking in the shadows across the dismal plains
A division of evil is seeking to destroy
A village of innocent tortured from birth
Slay the oppression with violence, a vehement assault

Bred on steel and fire, burning in the night
Immortal winds of death, he's come to take your life

The sword of the decimator
Born from the ancient fires
Forged to kill
Annihilation
The scent of iron fills the air

The warhorn sounds from the killing fields
An onslaught of unrelenting force pounding across the gates
A malevolent leader now sweltering in fear
Imprisoned by the darkness for the steel will rule

Bred on steel and fire
Burning in the night
Immortal winds of death
He's come to take your life

A towering force of ruination
Break the chains of corruption for the sake of humankind

Insufferable punishment
Eternal hell

Impaled by the blade, writhe with agony
The sword of the decimator
Born from the ancient fires
Forged to kill, annihilation
The scene of iron fills the air
Forged to kill

08. Beyond The Wall Of Desolation

Deep within the frozen realm
There lies a passage known to few
Enchanted walls of the glacial tomb guides us past the iron guards
Grasping towards the blackened sky
Twin columns of burning light appear

"Dikeptor, you are invoked by the gods
The son of eternal dawn
The sole bringer of madness
The answers you seek are enshrined in the stone
Beyond the wall of desolation
Beneath the altar of eternal flame."

Onward through the city of Vernile
The rivers flow with blood, the temples have turned to ash
Struck down by the infernal march

Scaling the frozen wall, the ice begins to shatter.
The chilling screams of death echo through the void
Endless forms of violence now manifesting

Beyond the wall of desolation
Under the altar of eternal flame

The slaughter marches on
Extreme retaliation
The unholy cries of anguish
Lead us to the shrine

A celestial power emerges from the stone,
The blood of the serpent now drips from the moon

When steel meets flesh the damned will be purified
The dagger reigns in fabled wrath
The force of destruction declines into the cryptic void

The moon glows crimson
The mountains shattered
The forest screamed
And the darkness fades

Beyond the wall of desolation
