One Chosen by the Gods
This track is instrumental.
A golden sunset Prelude to the star cloaked sky Yet this beauty only serves to remind me Of the passage of time We are but grains of sand in an hourglass And we're falling fast So take haste Don't delay For the wheels of time's eternal flow They halt unfaltering progress for no one Another day and another step Another hour that we're closer to death And what we have we waste away Unfeeling cold decay And what we have we waste away Naive to mortal fate We are but grains of sand in an hourglass And we're falling fast So take haste Don't delay For the wheels of time's eternal flow They halt unfaltering progress for no one Fear not your death For the hour of your doom is set And there is no escape Invoke your inner flame Ensure that none forget your name Time slips away Mourn not the dead In their tales they live again Save your tears for the living Who never truly live This is your life, so rise up and live We are but grains of sand in an hourglass And we're falling fast So take haste Don't delay Your time, it slips away

In the dawn at the sun's first rays We initiate the end of days Perilous quest for paradise Far away from this land of snow and ice No pity for those lying dead Our vicious path leaves the ground stained red The aether realm for which we travel the earth In the hopes of a new birth A lair in the sky for which we seek From the depths of the earth to the highest peak Forcing the masses to bow to our lord we are born into battle, we die by the sword Laying waste to the land and all who defend Our swords cutting down their finest men For the heathen wars have no true weight As you stand before ethereal gates No pity for those lying dead Our vicious path leaves the ground stained red The aether realm for which we travel the earth In the hopes of a new birth A lair in the sky for which we seek From the depths of the earth to the highest peak Forcing the masses to bow to our lord we are born into battle, we die by the sword Laying waste to the land and all who defend Our swords cutting down their finest men For the heathen wars have no true weight As you stand before ethereal gates To the aether realm we return at last To reclaim our throne of the ages past Ruling the land from a higher base We have rightfully taken our true place A lair in the sky for which we seek From the depths of the earth to the highest peak Forcing the masses to bow to our lord we are born into battle, we die by the sword Laying waste to the land and all who defend Our swords cutting down their finest men For the heathen wars have no true weight As you stand before ethereal gates

I am one chosen by the gods As the down begins to break We march to meet the horde Invaders armed with spear and sword Ten thousand legions strong A loathsome blot upon the land I thirst to see their blood upon my hands Outnumbered ten to one The air is heavy, as the sun Begins to draw the sweat from every man Oh, a sudden change My breath, it catches in my throat I falter from the pain And filled with fear I turn to flee Oh, what have I done? I've left my men to certain death A coward's mark upon my head But wait, for in my path A shadow looms and speaks to me Turn and fight Harness your heathen might You will take revenge for the fallen ones An eerie light descends A sudden peace from the wind A new sensation overcoming me Now filled with lust for blood I turn and tear back to the site where courage faltered for me Oh, I can't believe The sight obscene The field of dead Stretching far as eye can see Oh, I've failed them I have forsaken my only calling Oh, retribution My only wish, but how? No map to guide my feet I'll guide you, I'll find your way The shadow spoke to me I am I am I am one One chosen by the gods [Heinrich solo] With nothing left to lose I step back to the fray their force asleep and none will ever see another day My courage has been found begin to cut them down Revenge, revenge is my name Death is their only destiny My blades are dancing in perfect unity releasing my rage for what seems like eternity What the gods have wrought in you today, let no man tear asunder I wish to return to ethereal state No pain or feeling Relenquish my body in the darkened night I slowly drift away Leaving my body I'm finally free No physical traits The perfect being Rush of color, divine new realm Come with me, Come with me I am one chosen by the gods

Without the fire And the path from which we strayed The cold begins to bite and I begin to fall prey To the winter, I feel his icy hands upon my neck Unearthly sounds echoing all around As the wolves begin to circle for the kill The corpses of their victims strewn across the snow] Their eyes reflecting the stars they cannot see Blinded by a swirling light Drop to your knees and pray for your life Surrounded by ice and snow, the frozen winds around you blow You'll be dead before you stand, the gods have turned their backs A force this great not seen for a thousand years Leaving nothing in it's wake All will fall into the maw of terror cloaked in white Engulfing all til hunger's satisfied You won't escape the winter's grasp Just bare your skin Accept your fate Lie down and wait There's no escape

The color drained from life A crushing hopeless mist I'm standing at the edge of the abyss Possessor of ancient might Knower of the ancient light You've given but not received A rope and a branch are all I need Possessor of ancient might Knower of the ancient light You've given but not received Will you bestow these gifts on me As I climb closer toward My sweet untimely end My thoughts, they wander as I ascend My future is written in blood As I turn my gaze to the stars One last look at the world I loved Perched upon the brink with the noose around my neck I've made my choice, I won't look back And yet I'm somehow called to wait Perched upon the brink with the rope around my neck But a force unseen commands look back I see what I have left to give As I climb closer toward My sweet untimely end My thoughts, they wander as I ascend What the future holds for me As I turn my gaze to the sky One last look at the world I love And I break from the embrace of the oak Possessor of ancient might Knower of the ancient light You've given but not received Why would you bestow these gifts on me Possessor of ancient might You've looked to the ancient skies Instilling a hope in me
