Awake mighty creature of dusk Banish the light of day And let the great fires of the night consume you Rise and make your song take flight Tonight dreams will be alive Break free from solitude Just bear your own soul now I will follow you through darkness and make end to Covetous desire of the heart Then we'll stand proud knowing that The world will be infallible So abandon all your dreams for a greater cause To end sorrow for all has impressive rewards Bred in the nature of the self The fiercest beast is within Look past instinct and take control And the dragon flies over the mountains He's flying on again to search for all the glory of life As I see the beginning is near I'll ask for divine wisdom To show us the path to the end And hope that the means are good And in the end of this darkened winter night As the stars disappear Just as everyone is waking to the light Be with hope that in sight there is an end From the day once again Let me take you on a new journey

Everlasting sorrow will rage in us Until three years have become the past And all the lands only waste of god and man Now the Fimbul Winter begins with wind A year of frost and unending cold Will mark the end of day and the world will be dark In wind there is pain of greed And visions of the raging frost Chilling us to the bone Relentless will be the air we breath When the winds give way to the sword of man A brother fights with his closest kin To curse the famine and damn it all to hell Those who died in battles will raise up high Although there is not much to hope for now As all the heavens will soon be left for dust With this winter Our days will become numbered Swords clash As the fight freely in our hands Strength in all or one will fade Now the Fimbul Winter will begin Transparent is the end It's the ending of the world That we have known for all our lives I see right through this life There's only nothing there But I will fight In the skyclad hall above Odin waits patiently for the brave The death to all believers Will be the treason of the Fimbul Winter How I see a beast I can never tell But now this tale will surely impress A wolf devours the bodies of all fallen ones Growing larger and hungrier for god The beast will open its jaws up wide And cast a wave of blood to the gods in the sky With end of the wolf There comes only more despair I'll let my song take wing now Ragnarok is coming soon This night I feel the fires above Signs of the end take grace in my sight As an unnatural cold breaks the ice Ragnarok is coming soon

So life depends on the enigmas of fate All life ends with a question of death In the beginning there was madness But in the end I reigned forever I walked the path of green to the misty forest On arrival I desired the three To guide me through trees of mist To mountains of snow Everywhere you led I followed Now that it's the end I find myself falling I'm bounded by my cage of innocence Silenced by the echoes of the past It's the act of natural misconception They spun my threads complacently But I've broken free at last One day I will reign alone Into the ground my heart fled from me It's buried in sand they put over home Once more to be forever wandering Nowhere will I fall without fighting I will find true hope in myself

And the rain falls, flickering on a broken sword The metal still holds, the sheath still there And the earth smiles at me Beneath thousands of empty stares The rain dampens me Washing away my blood Every eye is turning, every shadow moving All the raindrops fell on the victorious A killing game where sword and armor is nothing The clouds began to breathe a cold wind That would be a sign from God It's time to leave Higher and higher in the sky Fields ablaze with glory Escape to another land A new life awaits me Here's someone who can take you away Into a fantasy Always awaiting eternity Riding away now, we're riding away I see a garden where the flowers are all dead Every single one now an infection Roots tapped the soil with everything you said In full disguise

While the sun for man is setting When the skies crumble down Glory is the hope that I see In the death all around Now we all are marching with a vengeance that would Break a time of endless winter nights Following the wyrd with every tactic of defense So that there's never any room for second thoughts Every time that I feel the life running through my veins I take my fate to cast off a fear of death by the sword When my time to die has become as real as life No mastery of war will become my saving grace Odin will arise and welcome All of us warriors Fight by day and feast by night to Make our lives heavenly Following the wyrd is a trust in the cycle of fate The past hints a future reflecting on my true nature So if I'm good I'll face my enemies in strife For if I die, let it be and hold my head up high To Valhalla I will go, for I follow the Wyrd Enough submission Hours have passed and neither has spoken All morals aside They might be equal, but power sounds loudest of all

Somewhere lightning fades in the distance And storms cease to be Sometimes fires die and become ash For eternity Without spring while it draws near Wasn't there a face left when you looked But the sun shines brighter than ever When the past becomes alive Look to your dreams They'll set you free When the past becomes alive There's a place where you don't know That glow now resting on your shoulders But when it comes time to say goodbye We'll live in death and eternity When the past becomes alive As the rays of the sun give warmth The tears melt away like winter Never to be shed again You're living in life

There was the ancestor of the giants Ymir he was called, Ymir the world Who shed his tears in loneliness and desolation Dwelling in a time of fog and fire A world aflame and poisonous Ten streams of frozen water with sandless banks We stand upon his skin And breathe in his skull We sail upon his blood to faraway lands 'Twas the beginning of time When the giant Ymir lived Father of all humankind, all the good and the evil Bred from the Ellivagar's meeting with the Muspell air Dead by the makings of Bor: Odin, Vili, and Ve Yawning is the gulf in which you were living Ginungagap between two evils Sacrificed by Odin to make our world Now I will write for you my father giant And never forget your sacrifice I see the heroes come and gone of which you were the first Earth shaped from flesh From blood the sea Bones were the mountains His hair the trees Lashes made the world of man

There's always reason for both sides to defend Truth appears in different ways, in different eyes Heavens, they're coming back again To tell our men they've given up This one time in defeat For us to be Singing old songs to remember old times As I travel farther away I may leave, but I'll never forget What you have done for me There is always illusions hiding everything When truth be told I tire of such tiring To everyone I've ever known in life To all of my friends and foes In you and your passing by I have seen myself For those dead men who so honored the world Their hearts will become the nature around our people For those dead men to whom I owe my own A grave for the Fenian men Inch by inch, pulled through the grass Blinded by the morning fog Legendary courage can always be found in their souls Eireann always knew the brotherhood would never die

Asleep at night beneath stars and rain We felt the pull on towards the cold Awaken to dawn and the sun Shining bright over the water The ice grew thicker around our sails Penetrating cloaks made of wool and blood The wind rose higher but on we led Our dragon head bow will hold us safe An ancient prophecy, that which we all believe Will take us to the hall in the sky I am the fire that burns in your eyes Just understand my glory never dies Now that we've fought for good And spread the word of God May you accept us now that we die Our brothers called us to join their names In search of the light in the great North sea And we are ready to follow their lead Heads up towards the horizon ahead All arms to the sky Odin listens to us Through storms we tread I am wont to believe That glory shines through death and everything Heavy is the burden that we do hold Empty is the heart that burns in me No more are the seasons, all is cold But we ventured forward to eternity Then we saw our dragon rise into the sky A beacon of light in the midst Of all our darkness

Everyone's been brought out here Gazing upon the starlit winter night Where the mountains all meet sea And an angel there for me Kingdom calling me, I knew this all along The darkness of my world is now gone To take this place with you, to be your love Is Heaven in diguise, and Hell will never be Here all the silences are gold But this will be the last time for a while So this promise is for you Every day will bring more love for you

After the storm of the end has gone I see a new world in which we are one And when something has come to build up this life I'll take all the stars and fashion a dream of you Northerner, beauty of the sea Please hold all your powers out to me Where now I will reign there in the dark Silence is only more hope In your eyes, I see honesty and strength And a soul to make my world cry With the joy of your love I sometimes lie awake at night Hoping that you'll be there when I wake up Every day will I grow stronger with wisdom and joy I'll brave all the world Knowing that we'll be together to rule as just one When we meet again Shimmering maiden in the sky Please take up your beacon to the night And when the moon begins to wane Meet me down by the Ida Plain In my new world, with selfish regard There's only light where we two will be And epic dreams of glory So that even the gods would envy our love Since we'll know the whole world is gone Let's swear our revenge on all hate The promise of life will endure So long as our faith can hold still When all the gods will meet down By the Ida Plain And focus intentions to creation Of all the world of life I'll ask amidst a red shore For the solace of the future That we may be together As one forever more I know a heart that would burn with love If ever I should become one with the end And kindly would Death stop so for me now But know that my cares would surpass even death itself If all the lands will crumble before miracles Let Earth shatter to a million and die before us now Gather all of your dreams for a new reign Just look to the north and meet me down by the Ida Plain
