01. Third Immortal

What greater light Shall I obey
Like all immortals I will make my way
I've seen the rifts and heard the songs
I am immortal, must I obey

I can smell the fire
Hear the hammers and the wheels
I can feel the fear inside of me
No birds are singing
No sound of the trees
The growing darkness all around me

Third immortal
The lord and the servant

Do I have to ride
There are others in need
Must I call the lords of the skies
I know my heart
And I know my way
This is where the end
Shall begin

What greater light Shall I obey
Like all immortals I will make my way
I've seen the rifts and heard the songs
I am immortal, must I obey

Raining ashes tears of doom
There is a longer road
It's not a trick of the light
Crimson colours in the sky
I could fight, I could run away
I am here for the cause
The great Plan shall remain
For the reason I will stay

Third immortal
The lord and the servant
Spirit of the old
From the light of the ghost

I have been awake for too long
But now I know it's my time
I shall bow to the greater light
Like all immortals I make my way
I have been hiding all my power
I'm a servant I will obey
This will be my finest hour
This will be my finest hour...

02. Exile The Daystar

It makes us cry without woe
Sear our skin and burn our eyes
why do you let them overcome
Why do you let them reign

The Western blaze forces us down
Under the earth we must flee...
Cover and bow
Swallow our pride
Fiery heart we can't tame
Until we move out from our caves
And thrive again

It makes us bend, be ashamed
Tear our will and stir our minds
Why you could not reign

The curse of the Daystar
The brilliant light
I will cast the nightfall
To dim the bright

Like flaming thorns
Into our veins
This dreadful creation
I shall rive

Fool is the one
Who would let them choose
We will strike in the dark
And elude until dawn

03. The Great Gathering

The Mountain is breaking again
The fires are awoken
Like a bleeding wound
It weakens our strength

The Fallen One has returned
With the lords of the Unlight
Long is his arm over our lands
Cloaking the eyes of our brothers
To get us lost in the dark
Tight is the grip of his hand

It is time at last
To counsel together in faith
To bound the spear
and the shining sword
The hour is late
It is time at last
To march to the Battle Plain
To stand together until the end
Last Alliance of Men and Elves

Men of Elendil
Elves of Gil-galad
Dwarves of Durin
The Last Alliance

The great gathering,
the host of the ages
Might of the elves
and the wrath of men
Led by the fierce undying legends
Show Point and Fire,
and White Light

The great gathering,
the host of the ages
Surpassed the demise
But only the greed
in the heart of men
Left the evil alive

04. Guardians

They came over the sea
To watch upon the dark
They reached the highest peaks
To maintain the peace
They flew from afar
As one with the wind
Under their wings
They shall gather the weak

Everywhere I go they are near
Every time I call they will hear
And fly for me

I have sen the dragons
Flying far away
Painting the sky
In crimson shades
I have heard the wolves
As they are closing in
With their burning eyes
But I have not felt the fear

I have seen the shadows
Gathering in the East
Failing the Sun
With the darkest veil

My sorrows will fade away
I can dry my tears
And I will know I am safe
As the watch over me

05. Voice Of The Fallen

I am the one who speaks the truth
The only truth
you will ever need to hear

That is why I am here
You are worthy for the Eye
Whose council is fear and agony

I am his words
The one with the darkest dreams
I am the one who chants the curse
You could never resist his lies
The words you wish not to hear

Voice of the fallen
Cries from the other side
Would break your ears
Would break your mind
Forge of chaos
Commands and claims
Black speech and order
His silence and peace

Can not see into his eyes
No mirror for the soul
Can not break into his thoughts
Nothing but scattered screams

I shall turn your tears
Into ashes of the dead
You shall never forget the whispers
Inside your head

You will be lost in your fears
In the never ending rest
I shall speak until you drown
Inside your head

06. Daughter Of The Sun

She sang like a nightingale
Like a mother to a child
She shone like dew on a meadow
In the merest light of dawn
In a time of need and whispers
A whole new world came to her
Neither asked nor wished for it
The Weaver made her a shrouding

In her early years she lost it all
Grief enough for one to share
But the care of a King enhanced her will
She rose again and bravely carried on

She saw the days embraced
By her hopes and dreams
She saw the nightly sky
Open it's diamond eyes

The truth and the lies together
The daggers and the tongues
Made her grow like a rose
Among the thousand thorns
She broke her shackles
And threw them into the sea
Of never ending dreams
Eternal home for the forever lost

She raised her wings from the earth
And flew towards the Sun
Great White against the clouds
Made her shine within

She prayed against her dread
And hoped once more
She cried and stood in the storm
At the hour of great loss

She consumed the fear of her kin
And believed once more
She cast away the storm
To love and to dream again

07. Green Dragon

In the dead of night
The glowing eyes
In the midst of a sleeping town
A warm light, right behind
A glazed stare, it is a dragon

The Green Dragon

In the stream of life
The river of golden god
Welcome to the feast

Into the depths of it's lair
I shall sneak without fear
Night after night I will savour
It's treasures

Let us go to my stronghold
Let us go to my keep
Where I can truly breathe
With all my friends

08. Awakening

They shall not know
What I have done
I must hide you
My beloved one

From my heart
The painful desire
From my hands
The grand design
From my soul
The life and the fire

Into your flawless eyes

Come to me my child
Come to me the first born

My work is done

Come to me my child
Come to me my first born
Learn and blaze from me
Live from me my son

Open your eyes
Wonder my world
Breathe and arise
It is your turn
Wake up my child
Cold as a stone
The warmth of life
I shall grant you

09. Epic Dreams

Another restless night
And I never knew
He had been my guide
Standing by my side
Still refused to believe
Denied all the answers
Right in front of my eyes
Was nothing but dreams

My darkness revealed
The promise from the skies
The end of this path

I have seen the golden gate

I saw a darkened figure
Standing in the water
Surrounded by the light
Beyond the Evernight

It was fear I breathed in
And shared his glory
The silence came again
With the shroud of mist
As I bound my fate

One single tear
And the fear was over in seconds
As I remembered
The oath of my ancients
Raise my kingdom
From this drifting void
Lead me through the night
To the enlightened land

10. Moontower

The Rising Moon, the Northern guard
Held the shadowed wall of fear
The Setting Sun, the Southern pride
Seeptre over the wild

Two lords, two defenders
Raised the forts and claimed the lands
Monuments of the ages
Kept the shadows away
Vaults for their godly gifts
Celestial treasures
Beacons to scare the fallen
The One that lay nigh upon the East

Two lords, two defenders
Did not see the Iron Fist
Monuments of the ages
Crumbled down to dust
Vaults for their godly gifts
Filled with disgrace
The White Tree of life
Cut down and burned to ashes

Those were the elder days
The golden age for the mortal
Set and cast was the fate
By the days of men

It was hard to believe
Nearly gone was all hope
When the Tree grew again
And brought the light
It was hard to believe
Nearly gone was all hope
Set and cast was the fate
By the days of men

11. The Star Of High Hope

When I longed for you
You came to me over the seas
To show me the way

Unquiet is my heart
I have to go and see
Even though we will be apart
You must have faith in me
As I set my sails

This is my journey
Over the oceans

This is who I am
This is my journey
Over the oceans
On the last shore I shall stand

Forever from the dawn
Through the Door of Night
Up into the oceans of heaven

Surun suurun hunnun alla
Hadan hataisen uhalla
Laski venhon vetten paalle

Ukon ankaran aalloille

Kavi ovesta ikiyon
Alle ainaisen aamun
Hiljaisuuden hautuumaille
Merilta mieron myrskyn

Tyko suuren ja mahtavan
Maille maailman luojan
Puhui puhtahaksi puutteen
Sanat soitteli suruisat
