Find another way
We are so close
Pray the gods stay with us
Don't lose sight
Lest we be laid to waste
At the bottom of the bay
So many things left unsaid
Will we be left for dead
If this is to be my last voyage in this world
All I ask is to receive that which I deserve
I know it may sound strange or maybe quite absurd
If you can see me father please hear these words
All I've ever wanted is to find my purpose in life
An answer to the questions trapped deep inside of my mind
Please cure the sickness that has left me blind
If I've not given enough please give me a sign
We sail in search of a new land
One we would plunder for riches and fame
We cast aside our oppressors hand
One day the gods will remember our names
Forefather, I need you
More than ever, more than anyone
Keep me strong, keep me calm
For the storm closes faster and faster
I know that I may wash away
My life another page of someone else's history
But if you hold me close and guide me home
I will make you prouder than you've ever been
Thor beats his anvil in anger and rage
See the sea churn in the surf he creates
But we stay, astride the waves
Unbowed, unbent, unbroken, we remain
Fools
The gods betray us
They wish us dead
In the dark of the night
But not in our beds
The gods betray us
They would have our heads
For daring to believe
We might achieve glory
I pray to the skies that we see our home
I pray that the seas will calm
I pray I see the faces of all I love
I pray this before my time is up
But not before our boots taste sand
And we hold our trophies above our heads
Our axes buried in all who would stand
Before us in the Westerlands

Run
What are these demons that seek to destroy us
Running like men, what have we done to deserve this
Have we committed a sin? (Have we committed a sin?)
Where is our god when we need him
Am I to die by the sword of a thief
These hell beasts nearing, I pray that
The end draws nigh, my life flashes by
The wolf rears his head but aims too high
Run
Run
Beware the wrath of the Northmen
He fears no evil, he fears no reprisal
Beware the wrath of the Northmen
He cares not for the lives we lead in peace
Beware the wrath of the heathen
With god in our hearts we will never be beaten
Beware the wrath of the heathen
These godless men will not take our faith
Fall into line you Christian cowards
Unless you'd care to taste the steel in my blade
Give me your gold, I said give me it all
Before your head leaves your shoulders and begins to fall
Do you value your life, do you wish to be martyred
No body will die if you give up your horde
You will all be bled and fed
To the ravens, the wolves and the gods of old
GIVE UP THE GOLD
GIVE UP THE GOLD
WHERE IS IT?
WHERE IS IT?WHERE DO THEY HIDE?
WHERE DO YOUR TREASURES LIE?
Take all that you wish, take all that you need
But please leave me be
Of all the prizes I see
What makes this book so worthy
This is no scroll, no story to be told
This is the word of our lord
Your god will not come
To save your soul
You're coming with me
Pray for rain
Pray for rain
Pray for rain
Pray for rain
Run
Beware the wrath of the Northmen
He fears no evil, he fears no reprisal
Beware the wrath of the Northmen
He cares not for the lives that we lead in peace
Beware the wrath of the heathen
With god in our hearts we will never be beaten
Beware the wrath of the heathen
These godless men will not take our faith
You may rejoice for a while
While the winter closes and your hearts warm
Be prepared for the storm
That will follow the spring and the dawns light
Beware the wrath of the Northmen
Beware the wrath of the Northmen
Beware the wrath of the north

Uprising

Lord I bring home tidings of gold and of slaves
Lord I have found salvation, our people are saved
We can sail from the fjord, take this land as our own
We can cross the barren sea and build a new home
How long can I stand idly by
Watching and waiting our people are wasting away
I will fight and I may die
Before I let you take all I strived to keep alive
You wish to sit on your throne growing older and colder
While your subjects grow louder and bolder still
Sick to the teeth of your lies in disgust they will rise
To drag you from your bed and leave you dead by the shoreline
Behold the red dawn
The quake of a new day
No longer will we sit in silence
Our hope has been reborn through violence
Mistakes will fade away
From all of our memories
Stand tall beside me brothers
Now begins the uprising
How long have I stood idly by
Watching and waiting our people are wasting away
Now is the time to do what is right
Burn the throne, rebuild our home and dine in blood this night
Your reign will end in the blink of an eye
You will not be spared, it is fated you will die here
By my axe or by my sword, I am sorry my lord
Do you have any final words?
Freed of your blackened crown
Battered and buried beneath the clouds
Valhalla's doors, you will not see
Upon this mired earth you will be left to bleed
Behold the red dawn
The quake of a new day
No longer will we sit in silence
Our hope has been reborn through violence
Mistakes will fade away
From all of our memories
Stand tall beside me brothers
Now begins the uprising
I had to redefine
What I have learned about leading a good life
It isn't always true
What you think you know, the future may just surprise you
Do what you can
Never succumb to the will of a bitter man
He will lead you astray
As the red sun rises to the break of a better day
A better day still awaits
Give not to me
Give in to fate
Live for the life
Your dreams create
Behold the red dawn
The quake of a new day
No longer will we sit in silence
Our hope has been restored
Behold the red dawn
The quake of a new day
No longer will we sit in silence
Our hope has been restored
Mistakes will fade away
From all our memories
Stand tall beside me brothers
Now begins the uprising
Our hope has been restored
Our faith has been reborn
Freed of mistakes we made
And returned to better days
Our hope has been restored
Our faith has been reborn
Freed of mistakes we made
And returned to better days
Our hope, our faith
Have returned to better days

We serve our lord 'til we wither and die
We serve the god of a thousand eyes
(x8)
Surrender all you believe in
You're deity is deceiving
Your senseless defences defeated
Suddenly you see me
Fighting for the life that you gave up so fleetingly
Close to the edge of my patience but I won't give in
Beating, hacking, burning away your resolve
Suffocated by the lies on which you were sold
In time you will see
The reality that you refuse to perceive
In time you will see
The truth behind your hollow reality
And in time you will thank me
In time you will thank me
Break down the walls
That surround your soul
And never sell yourself
Never sell yourself for fool's gold
We are fools
We are fools
We are fools
We are fools
Empty visions of the divine
Blackened eyes stare straight back into mine
Undone, blood runs
Look upon your lord as he withers and dies
Where lesser men would run and hide
We give our lives in sacrifice
The sea churns, the skies burn
Slain is the god of a thousand eyes
Smiling to your face as they call you a traitor while
Washing their hands of your blood spilt for the greater good
Hopelessly hoping they'll view you as a saviour but no
Still blind their hearts stay hauntingly cold
Make me a pariah if it helps you to sleep
I will wander alone amongst the highest of peaks
As the raven glides and wolves bay to the moon
I promise you now that I will see you soon
Tell me what is so unclear
You're wasting away and living in fear
Tell me if there's another way
To save all those that I hold so dear to me
Break down the walls
And begin to recall
The life we lead hand in hand
Together we'll breath and together we'll stand
Empty visions of the divine
Blackened eyes stare straight back into mine
Undone, blood runs
Look upon your lord as he withers and dies
Where lesser men would run and hide
We give our lives in sacrifice
The sea churns, the sky burns
Slain is the god of a thousand eyes
You're fading away
Into the darkest of days
Please stay with me
I can't live any other way
You're fading away
You're fading away, away from me
Fire burns the pain away
Unleash the fire in your heart to reclaim
Reclaim your sanity
A life of clarity
This is all that we need
Let the blood run free
Empty visions of the divine
Blackened eyes stare straight back into mine
Undone, blood runs
Look upon your lord as he withers and dies
Where lesser men would run and hide
We give our lives in sacrifice
The sea churns, the skies burn
Slain is the god of a thousand eyes
We serve our lord 'til we wither and die
We serve the god of a thousand eyes

HateHate
Hate me
Tell me all that I've done wrong
Have I been
Insincere to you sometime along
The way
Tell me what I'm thinking is ok
And that I
Have time, to make this right
Pay me back for all I've given
All I forked out for you before
You fixed me with that fickle stare
Will I be made, be made aware
I don't see where else we could go
But down into the brink alone
And leave ourselves to grow
Into a name by which we're proud to be known
The maiden fair grows cold
And turns her back on her home
With her only son in tow
She leaves for claim of her own throne
Wait for me
Your beauty is slipping
Wait please wait
My only fear is that you might forget me
Haunted by
Ghosts in the firelight
Embers fading
I feel my heart shaking
Days grow shorter, nights grow longer
All i have left is a song to sing
To the cold winds
That claw and bite at my sanity
Will i walk until my legs give out
Will i wander until I cannot be found
Will i wait until my love returns
Will my heart break or it will it burn
Hate me
Tell me all that I've done wrong
Have I been insincere to you
Sometime along the way
With all pride left aside
Will I see your face again
Before the lights leaves my eyes
Hate me
Hate me
Hate me

I have to take my first step
On to the path and escape
Tomorrow won't be the same
I'll see a different landscape
Friends, I do not know
Foes, I have not faced
The cloak of night closes in
I must walk into the mist
My vision weakens
I know not where I stand
Pushing on, pushing on, despite
My fear of the unknown
Of the unknown
Searching
For purpose
A bigger prize
For wider eyes than yours
There comes a time in life
For you to leave your home
To move past all your regrets
All that you've ever known
There is a better place
Devoid of misery
Where hearts grow strong
And you will find peace
Sealed inside
A wooden box
Not hidden from sight
But somehow lost
Killing myself
For an answer unfound
Bury me six feet
Deep in the fucking ground
It's better never to know
Where you will lay at the break of the day
As your hair becomes grey
And your life seems like nothing but an age old fantasy
There comes a time in life
For you to leave your home
To move past all your regrets
All that you've ever known
There is a better place
Devoid of misery
Where hearts grow strong
And you will find peace
There comes a time in life
For you to leave your home
To move past all your regrets
All that you've ever known
There is a better place
Devoid of misery
Where hearts grow strong
And you will find peace
Swarming, endless possibilities
We'd probably never think to look
Open your eyes, open your mind
For what we might have become
Swarming, endless possibilities
We'd probably never think to look
Open your eyes, open your mind
For what we might have become
I must walk into the mist
I must walk into the mist

I would have walked to the edge of this world
For you my dear, for what it's worth
I would have killed to give you this world
For you my darling, for what it's worth
For what it's worth
I feel weak at the knees
I'm terrified, I'm caving in
I still feel you with me, the echo of your soul
Alive in my bones, how could I ever be so wrong?
How could I ever be so wrong?
I will wander alone
Death looms, it's oh so frightening
We are doomed, hear the sound of the lightening crack
Thunder rumbles through the hills
Clouds roll and the pressure builds
Darkness falls and the light dies low
Colder and colder the bloodline flows
A king forgotten is far from home
A king forgotten will wander alone
You fucking lied to me
You said that you would set me free
You fed my agony and
Tried so hard to make me believe
That it was all my fault
That it was me who broke your heart
I should have known from the start
We were always destined to part
I would have walked to the edge of this world
For you my dear, for what's it's worth
I would have killed to give you this world
For you my darling, for what's it's worth
All hope is lost, all joy is gone
There is no path left to follow
No, no, no, no
All hope is lost, all joy is gone
There is no path left to follow
I'm better alone
With only the stars to keep me warm
I'm better alone
With only the stars to guide me home
I'm better alone
With only the stars to see me cry
I'm better alone
With only the stars to ask me why
I'm better alone
