By Ice and the Black Sun

I dwelled with the ghosts in a forest of darkness
The roots of the world were frozen and dead
By ice and the black sun I froze and withered
Chained to the dead hand of an evil winter

White Death on the Wind
03:32

A prophecy only whispered in the dark
From those who look for answers from the stars
Mounted harbingers of war in the sky
The wolf’s blizzard is not far behind
The cold shatters, broken into frozen, silent dust
A slow decay amidst the white frost
A prophecy only whispered in the dark
From those who look for answers from the stars
Only blood of the ancients can cure
A world ending force of unknown nature
A time of madness, a time of disdain
No overcoming, frozen restraint
Dark specters, a dark omen
No where to run, white death on the wind
It’s what they flee, the ones of the black horse
It’s what they see, annihilation, natures curse
Mounted harbingers of war in the sky
The wolf’s blizzard is not far behind
The cold shatters, broken into frozen, silent dust
A slow decay amidst the white frost

The Impaled Slave

Hollow words from the narrow preaching’s that you read
Lost mind, lost soul to the never ending greed
A strong ideal that’s been steeped in vanity
You find it hard to see, blind hypocrisy
Impaled by Satan, your compulsive destiny
Now you grovel at his feet, wishing to be freed
The beast you became emerged as one of burden
Chained to his throne, your true purpose darkened
As a force against the winters night you burn in hells flame
Jealousy inside of you, there’s no one else to blame
Calling from the hall up high they tried to save your name
Let it be, an empty chair beside us
This one saw no other path and has put forth no effort
Let it be, a test for all among us
This devil’s word has power still but the old gods guide us
And now, your deceptive lies fall on deaf ears
They hold the memory of you and your wasted years
A fruitless effort to stand on equal ground
No will to move until he calls, resolve not found

A Conjunction of Spheres
03:58

A storm in the universe raged
As dimensions converged
Primordial force of chaos
Beings from within the void
Awakens the art of magic
And unnatural mutations
This world’s first upheaval
And so the elder races mourn
Abducted and mutated
The light came to my eyes
Reborn in this world to be hated
Through the coward’s eyes
Deadly trials of the mind and body
The road ahead is rife with terror
Changed for life, a burden bearer
Mercenary I am forever
And the silver rings true
I hear your pleading cries to me
I’m a master in my craft
I’ll slay this beast that haunts you
It stalks you in the night
And so this beast becomes my prey
I’ll exterminate this blight
The hunter’s sense guides me
I prepare for this fight
Whipping and gashing
It’s a fight for death or life
When my silver meets the flesh
A fire comes to its eyes
No room for error in a whirlwind of smoke, blood, and entrails
The road ahead is rife with terror
Changed for life, a burden bearer
Mercenary I am forever
And the silver rings true

Corpse-Ripper
02:50

At the root of the dying world tree
Lies the foremost serpent, on damned souls he feeds
Lord of the coldest Ice, on the low shore of the corpses
The root in Niflheim, he gnaws on most remorseless
I lay dying with no sword gripped in my hand
I see my coward’s blood flowing through the sand
Please don’t send me to the ripper down below
My life is yours to take, don’t make this killing blow
A life of disgrace I have lived as I sought my way
Decisions I have made have led me to this day
I feel the life start to leave my body
Quick death he will not grant, I deserve no mercy
Valkyries won’t come for me, I won’t see Valhalla
I start to feel the cold come creeping, carry me down below
I see his cold dead eyes under his serpent’s crown
His jaws open wide as he comes to take my soul

By Earth and the Ash

I see my dreams in every blade of grass
I live my life by the earth and the ash
I stand lost on the path to home but
Here’s to the earth and the great world tree
I dwelled with the ghosts in a forest of darkness
Where the roots of the world were frozen and dead
By ice and the black sun I froze and withered
Chained to the dead hand of an evil winter
Following the grey horizon
Back to the land of night and day
No moon, no stars in a forgotten sky
My battle raged but I will live to see another day
The light on the trees and the river sing
An ancient psalm for the coming of spring
Then the light begins to shake and quiver
I start to fear another false reality
I’m getting so cold
No warmth to heal
The clouds are gathering above me now
I let it go, I will find another way
The gods, they know both good and evil
The stand in the chaos at the end of days
By earth and the ash our fates are sealed
I let it go, I will find another way
Following the grey horizon
Back to the land of night and day
No moon, stars in a forgotten sky
My battle raged but I will live to see another day
I’m getting so cold
No warmth to heal
The clouds are gathering above me now
I let it go, I will find another way
