The man and the ghost will meet again
In the night when it snows
Never quiet, never cold

Hear their calling
Lost lords to cast the ride
White spears in their hands
Pointing towards the sky

The ancient echoes from the wielded jaws
The bones and the scales, the forgotten lore

The calm of the night, lighting the flame
In the night when they haunt the curtain shall fall

Heroes and fools, all together, all the same
Statues of the restless
Gallery of the drowned and the pale

The man and the ghost will meet again
On the marshes of the old, though silent when it snows

Let the whirling wind whisper the farewell
Blow the silver sand away, hide your traces
Watch the clouds rising through the fading sky

Welcome your novel home
No more dreams of insanity
Welcome your novel life
No more dying in clarity
Welcome your novel dark
No more fear or agony
Welcome your novel light
No more hope or serenity

The higher ones shall rise again
Our ways are not the same
We shall wander and long for things to come
For us it is a different faith

Once again I see the sun
Hear the birds and feel the air
Reach for the stars and the moon
Scent of the flowers and the woods

I am hiding under the sea, lost, deep into the shadows
Behind the sleep I am waiting to hear my name again

Full circle summons the servants
The gathering of the haunted
Howls in the nocturnal mist
Calls for the haunt

I have seen the shape of the fallen
The guardian of the gates
I have seen the darkest one behind them
The one without a name

Ravaging in the woods, sleepwalking in shadows
The hunger drives them forth, the hunger forever burning

Under the leash of the enemy
They carry the troops against us
Ride from the northern fields
To terror the world at night
Born to devour the dark powers
Born to obey the one
Dire dwellers of the fiery caves
The feast of the forgotten souls

The dawn ends the furious hunt
The newborn sun reaps the gloom
But the daylight will fade away
When the night falls they roam again

They will never hunt alone
Open gates of void arrive with them
Freezing stare through your bones and veins
He will hear every word you say

We are the legions of the damned
The legions of saints
Together as one we stand
We are the legions of light
The legions of dark
Together we shall arise

We will cast the spell on you
Charm your soul for good
Join us and share the glory
From every battle we ever fight
Side by side we hold the line

We are the legions of doom
The legions of hope
Together we triumph and mourn
We are the legions of all
The legions of gods
Defy our strength and you shall fall

We hold the bridge over the bourn
Wield the keys and guard the gates
We shall reform the laws
Shape the future and the faith

New creation in our order
We set the dawn and the rise again
Night and day, all the seasons
Changes when ever we say

Crush the betrayers
Hunt them down
Together we are strong enough to drown
All the infidels in their own blood
We are the legions
We are the gods

New shores of the lesser men
Brave journey to the unknown land
Sealords from the Western Star
Endowed the havens afar

Dark reign of the East
Beware our gleaming might
The crimson day will come
When there's no one by your side

High command, counsel and wealth
Masters beyond the sea
Guardians carrying the swords
Armours against treachery
Great kings brought the sun
Over the frightened lands
Blew away the blurking clouds
Spoiled the Ring Maker's plans

The aura of tranquility
Everywhere they go
Advanced art and craft
Wisdom for mind and soul
Firm is their bearing
Healers for the weak
Like gods in flesh and blood
Fathers and sons from the sea

We are the protectors from the given land
Isle of the dreamers
Made by divine hands
We shall free you from the threat and the fear
Of immortal enemy
His end is near

Our duty is to gather our arms
To take the Eastern road
And to challenge the dark
Our pleasure is to force Him down
To make Him crawl and to tear His crown

This is the war
This is the path of blood
Lord of Gifts
Your star shall fall
This is the end
This is the freedom call
Of men and elves
This is Your final dawn

Every morn I awake and look to the sky
Something is wrong
I can sense the passing time
Every night I close my eyes
I must move on

When I am watching the others
Far away or next to me
Heir their words, hidden fears
Smiling faces, swallowed tears
I have seen the circle, closing on me

Every day I feel my heart
Longing for the horizon
Maybe I could only stay
Look to the other way
For the guiding star

How much longer I can smother the pain
How much longer until my flame fades
Something more for me to see
Something more for me to adore

How much longer I can smother the pain
How much longer until my flame fades
Unknown world right there for me
It has to be the reason I am living for

I am here beside you
It is all you've got
In your grief and pain
No one else to trust

You cannot feel it
It is too close
You cannot see it
Your eyes are closed

You cannot feel it
It is too close
You cannot see it
Your eyes are closed
Your senses low
Your body cold
Inside your head
The flies and the worms

I am here beside you
In your bliss and fame
Dragging you back
Beyond the silent trail

You did not see
From where it came
When it laughed
Started the game
Amongst the others
Called your name
Inside your head
The flies and the worms

You are the mightiest
Above them all
Your iron will makes them crawl
You have the power
The words of the wise
But it all comes behind the mask of flies

Sometimes I hope I drown
Let it go and fade away
Fall asleep with a shelter
And never wake up again
Step aside and leave the signs
Save them for another day
I am too weak, I cannot fight
But I am still awake

I am here beside you
It is all you've got
In your grief and pain
No one else to trust

I am here beside you
In your bliss and fame
Dragging you back
Beyond the silent trail

The Second Land
The Eastern ride
Into the cave where the serpents hide
Treasures of lies in disguise
Unseen is the truth
Fragile dreams

Only lies and fragile dreams

Refer the throne of forever-ice
Unleash the fire from your eyes
Reveal the wounds and praise your kind
Betraying words, blind belief

Welcome the loot, the king, the proof
This must be enough
Under the guard can't grow his roots
You won't see, it is too late

They saw his face and how he bowed
The torn black cloak
Everything disgraced
But who was the master and who was the hound
They did not know
Their faith was bound

From the heart, from the core
Breathing ashes, forever fall
You heard his pain, words of remorse
He was invited, it is your own fault

Reclaim the throne of forever-ice
Leash the fire from your eyes
Conceal the wounds and despise your kind
Betraying words, true belief

Under the storm shone the noble colours
Lords of the oceans from the Western shores
The Golden King in eternal valour
"Master the seas", in their blood forever

Port city, once healthy and fair
Set in doom by cancer and plague
Leeches and black water

The original sins
Curse of the Man
Forbidden course
Drowning their stand

We have to go and seek the truth
Falling tears for my delirium

It is not a dream
The glorious land
In a palm of my hand

Under the storm shone the noble colours
Lords of the oceans from the Western shores
The Golden King in eternal valour
"Master the seas", in their blood forever

Unlearn the madness
Forget the sea
It is just a dream
Beneath the waves

Furious swells tore the soil apart
The broken ban
Wrath of the Gods
Quakes and fire crumble the realm
The false kingdom
Under the sea

You have been betrayed
Led astray
Guided to leave
You sail away
By your own greed
Beneath the waves

Sudden screams
Choking pressure
Cutting noise
Horns of flesh and blood
Black mass of unholy one
Through the white human priests

Ruined temple
Reborn in flames

Dark waves rising above us
Runners in front of the death storm
Blinded by their own faith
Into the doom and oblivion

All the glory for the one
Who covered all the mirrors
All the years for the one
Who lived amongst the dragons

Ruined temple
Reborn in flames
Stained
And washed with blood
No one
Will save your soul
