In the realm of frost and bitter cold
Where winter's wrath begins to unfold There dwell the brave, the valiant few Winter storm vigilantes, mighty and true Through the blizzards, through the storms, they won't let evil grow With frost in their veins and fire in their hearts They fight the darkness, tearing evil apart Their winged beasts soar through the frigid air Majestic and swift, with fiery manes they wear With snowflakes as their armor glints On horses of steel they ride to victory In the moonlit snow, they take their stand Protectors of this frozen land Their hearts are cold but they carry the flame Winter storm vigilantes, is their name In the depths of winter's biting embrace They chase injustice, a relentless race Through frozen valleys and mountain peaks Winter storm vigilantes, justice they seek Through the blizzards, through the storms, they won't let evil grow With frost in their veins and fire in their hearts They fight the darkness, tearing evil apart Oh, can you see them fly High across the skies Their swords shine in the moonlight The enchanted flame in the night Guiding them forward, their purpose in sight On steeds of steel, they ride with pride Winter storm vigilantes, the heroes who won't ever hide As winter yields to the coming spring The vigilantes' legacy, a tale to sing Their steel horses rest until the next call Winter storm vigilantes, the protectors of all Through the blizzards, through the storms, they won't let evil grow With frost in their veins and fire in their hearts They fight the darkness, tearing evil apart Winter storm vigilantes! 03. Long Cold Winter Of Sorrow And Strife
"A flame divine, gods placed in men's care
To battle the frost, to banish despair The days are grim and hearts turn cold And even an act of kindness can lead to death and sorrow" The signs are clear, the dawn has come The summer of our time shall soon be gone The cold days are closing in The bitter chill, it seems within The trees stand bare, their leaves long gone The earth is frozen, nothing moves on The Sun is weak, its light so faint As the world succumbs to winter's restraint Weary wanderer Of these dire times Come and rest for a while The long cold winter of sorrow and strife Heal your tired soul by the embracing fire We'll sing to remember and we'll drink to forget The love, the loss and those who sailed into the last sunset In the frozen wasteland, he'll forge his fate A wanderer no more, he'll conquer with hate Through the fires of vengeance, his path is now clear Into the heart of the storm, he'll head without fear Weary wanderer Of these dire times Come and rest for a while The long cold winter of sorrow and strife Heal your tired soul by the embracing fire We'll sing to remember and we'll drink to forget The love, the loss and those who sailed into the last sunset Hear how the north wind howls, a mournful cry See how the snow falls from the darkening sky "Before my eyes, the flames did rise In crackling hearts, they mesmerize They licked the skies with tongues of gold A testament to the power they hold" The long cold winter The long cold winter of sorrow and strife Heal your tired soul by the embracing fire We'll sing to remember and we'll drink to forget The love, the loss and those who sailed into the last sunset 04. Fatherland
In the shadows of a mountain
A fearless guard is hidden and alert From the darkening horizon From high above, closing in, an imminent threat The sound of the battle horns The beat of the drums of war Remind us what we are fighting for Attack, Sons Of The North! Heathen pride Will not bend Will not die Will fight until the end The songs of freedom Over the thousand lakes Understand, We have to stand Until the final man For Fatherland Times were different When our sails struck fear in enemies' hearts These cowards talk of honour But flee with their winged beasts of metal Archers, release the rain of fire! Heathen pride Will not bend Will not die Will fight until the end The songs of freedom Over the thousand lakes Understand, We have to stand Until the final man For Fatherland On the eve of the battle, the stars align The outnumbered gather, under the Northern sign The ground rumbles and clashing the steel No surrender! We'll die as we lived...free! In the face of conquerors' might, The true warriors stand and fight For freedom, honour and ancient lore, We'll defend our land forevermore Heathen pride Will not bend Will not die Will fight until the end The songs of freedom Over the thousand lakes Understand, We have to stand Until the final man For Fatherland 05. Scars In My Heart
We danced beneath the starry sky,
The love was pure and true, But now you're gone, and all I have, Are memories of you The cold wind blows across my face, It whispers your name in my ear, I close my eyes and feel your embrace, But I know that you're not here Oh, my love, where have you gone? Why did you leave me here? Underneath the Northern star, I shed a cold lonely tear Oh, my love, will I see you again in the Hall of Gods? You take away all the pain And heal the scars in my heart Last night the moon was full I walked along our shore Where the sky meets the sea We vowed our eternal love A gentle breeze in my hair When I watch the Sun rise A sense of solace washes over me Making my spirit fly I know our love transcends, beyond the veil of death My heart aches, but I will cherish every remaining breath The snowflakes falling from the sky Remind me of the tears That I have cried For the memories of us I won't ever let them die Oh, my love, where have you gone? Why did you leave me here? Underneath the Northern star, I shed a cold lonely tear Oh, my love, will I see you again in the Hall of Gods? You take away all the pain And heal the scars in my heart 06. Resistentia
With spirits, our allies, we'll defend the wisdom of old forever
For their laws, we shall never bend Our resistance shall never end 07. The Howl
In the land of brave warriors, our proud clan always stood tall,
We heed the ancient call, for years we fought but the evil grew Nature cries for the wisdom of old, now forgotten, forever lost Oh, world, hear my howl, see my light in the sky I shall find the one, who will set your world on fire Oh, run, all the lost ones, your rule ends today For the rightful vengeance, the old world shall rise again! Through the whispers of time, I saw the decay, The spirits wept, their voices dismayed With one final deed, I'll break free of my chains, Transcend to a spirit wolf, unbound by the pain Oh, world, hear my howl, see my light in the sky I shall find the one, who will set your world on fire Oh, run, all the lost ones, your rule ends today For the rightful vengeance, the old world shall rise again! The spirits guide me, their presence, a light To seek a soul worthy, to join the fight In twilight's embrace, I began my final quest Through valleys and mountains, I roam from East to West I will not rest Until I find him Under the gaze of the moon, He'll find the chosen one, With a heart of valour, Beneath the winter sun, With spirits, his witness, he'll invoke the sacred rite, The magic of the old and a warrior's might Together we march, through battles we wade, As spirit and mortal, our strengths now allied, The oppressors shall falter, their reign to an end, For the old world's wisdom, we shall defend Oh, world, hear my howl, see my light in the sky I shall find the one, who will set your world on fire Oh, run, all the lost ones, your rule ends today For the rightful vengeance, the old world shall rise again! 08. From Order To Chaos
In icy wastelands, lost and forlorn,
A silent outcast wanders alone A tale of betrayal, blood and exile Some secrets should've been buried until the end of time In the light of moon so pale He walks the frozen lands, feeling only hate His footsteps leave no trace behind, He is barely alive but refuses to die Once he stood among the brave, a valiant soul His name was erased from the walls in the heroe's halls When envy's seed took root and spread When his blade rose, not just honour bled I'll rise again, from ice and snow, No matter how far I must go, I might be an outcast, scorned and alone, But I shall return and claim my rightful throne And they shall all bow before their new King I know the secrets of magic and steel I know that vengeance is my destiny I shall not fear, I shall not bend I shall be bold and defy death itself He fought his way and fell on his knees in the eye of a storm In a deafening silence, he heard a howling wolf "Some Gods love injustice Some Gods love hate But all men are just pawns in their games The powers he gained The visions he saw No longer afraid of death He knew what had to be done" He can taste the blood He can hear the screams He can see the flames rising high Commanding the elements Reaching beyond time As he runs through the frozen night I know the secrets of magic and steel I know vengeance is my destiny I shall call the fire from the skies I shall return to see the fear in their eyes I know the secrets of magic and steel I know vengeance is my destiny I shall call the fire from the skies I shall return to see the fear in their eyes I know the secrets of magic and steel I know vengeance is my destiny I shall destroy with frozen winds In a rain of fire they shall scream And they shall all bow before me 10. Victorious
A bad omen in the sky
A light from beyond Assumes kataklysmic doom to come The Beast of the North Folk And the castaway approach Winter Storm Vigilantes, will not run Charge! We are invincible! Fight! We are victorious! Charge! With all our might! We are invincible! Fight! We shall never die! We are victorious! Far away from the mortal realm Great Gods gamble and laugh When they roll the dice of destiny Men fight and fall on the battle field Outnumbered they stand A wolf and a man Their howls rise in the night Horses of steel shall fall The power of the fireballs Reset wrong to right Charge! We are invincible! Fight! We are victorious! Charge! With all our might! We are invincible! Fight! We shall never die! We are victorious! Rise again! Destroy them! Show no fear! Their end is near! Charge! We are invincible! Fight! We are victorious! Charge! With all our might! We are invincible! Fight! We shall never die! We are victorious! Hear our battle cry! We are victorious! |
