Grief,
Grief unspoken, Grief in halls of the fallen Swords against shields Wail sorrows worth Echo in bones Drums upending very earth Hearths from stones First fall, hail on white shores Rain carmine, benign winds did tore Song heeds, call of the storm Her sails are raised to war For the sun, for the moon For the frozen womb, For the fire that barren blooms Ride the flame, ride the serpent Madness without bridle Will unleashed For the rising horned idol Ride the woman ride the beast For the waves to come And sea without a shore For the storm before the calm Wailing deep throates roar 03. Frost Upon Their Graves
Abeyant winding way
Cascades sheltered in white Lead them far astray Where shrouded frail may hide Pursued is ones prey Onto trackless ground of frozen grey Flight to river marmoreal Where cold-blooded winds of north them flay Streams blind and old No sin or virtue here avails Tede them nameless holds Berths beneath thine waves March onward unmarked trails Horns underneath bay strident wails Upon coiling spine Shed ice-white blades of serpent scales Frost upon their graves Furrows fraught with dead Thill waters to deprave And slower runs the river red 05. Shackles Of The Moirai
Bound you are to brotherhood of flesh
With cold harness of iron behest One falls, another crawls Remembers none why march at all One screams, another weeps And the dead you drag along Onward! Pace to keep with dawn Onward! Further from light beyond At one with chain At one with pain Refuse to lie, refuse to die, And no light will have you Onward, Thy will reborn Onward, Thy soul unsworn 06. The Writ Of Sword
Can we truly claim that war isn't the heart unchained
The will and the action performed in their purest form As reach of god's arm is always the blade of his followers This was and ever shall be the writ of the sword Hard is toll of life's decay, with breaths withering we all shall pay, see hoards run thinner by the day wealth falls to dust on winding way Why returns a man, to field where he fell barrows he fears less than a single farewell Why kneels a man, on ruins of one throne, when blood of her sons did build it alone First to reave, blood cleanse the grief No dust drown the hate nor guilt shall relieve Why then are my dreams of war And war dreams of me Witness, the writ of sword In guise of man and his law Redeem the road beneath us all Banner clad spears in thousands wreath Fallen seethe on hooves beneath Horns blow the length of man's breath Ride the path to gates of death the writ of the sword 08. Silver And Bones
Gone in all but gilded name
And line of sired kin With bonds of honor, acceded claims Inscribed to far more elder skin Bred to war, like father like son Revenge revived, we stand as one Steep were the facades of fate Retribution sought to invade Like moths to flame, dull the blade Against the walls assailed Forage the fields What blood they yield Graves shall fall to seed When done is my feast God dines alone On silver and bones In defeat and loss, like father like son None but strangers, you stand as one Embalmed in silence, withdrawn... 09. Son Of North
Ota perkele pahin poikasi
Joka on pitempi itseasi Mene pimeahan Pohjolahan Paivan paistamattomahan. Rise son yet no man Ice anoint, cold baptize old names cast aside Frostborn Son of north Onto the arms of war Son of north Rise son yet no man One eye of white with raven's sight Your life it belongs to this land and demise our vermillion guide Trail ahead foreseen is dark indeed and devotion heeds mere wisps in between Dead begotten son When threads are few They must be strong Deliver us from life |
