Westerlands 05:32
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

Northmen 03:36
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 05:41
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 (x8)

Hate Hate 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

Mist 03:39
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

The Wanderer 04:14
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
