The desire for conquest is gone Our view rests below the horizon Nothing draws us into the distance anymore We stay here where we are The arms are too weak for the steel Our eyes are blind, the heart cannot feel The fire, the urge to be brave The will to be proud and free Chorus: It is time for a new era! Greet the dawn of a new era! Kingdoms rotten, old Fields filled with gold Bending the knee To a long dead crown In wind and water born To live in earth and stone No fire, just embers Cowering in the dark Chorus We built these walls to protect Now they simply keep us in here, trapped There is no enemy behind these stones No need to hide for you So stand up and raise your head Wake up from your slumber, use your hands Take these chains you have forged yourself Tear them down and set yourself free Break down the walls Hear the distance call The world Was waiting too The night now will end Look up and comprehend Shout it out! Let others see like you do Chorus The desire for conquest reborn Our eyes are on the horizon Something draws us into the distance far We won’t stay here anymore The arms now reach for the steel We have opened our eyes and the heart to feel The fire, the urge to be brave The will to be proud and free

Set sails! Goodbye to old domains Sea hails! The ocean is our road Chorus: Time has come To leave the past behind Known shores are fading As we sail across the seas Journey Journey into the unknown Towards the sun Guided by the stars The winds in favour On our ride over the waves Journey Journey into the unknown The land we know is far There is no turning back We set off for a precious dream The land we seek is right ahead In unknown waters now No shore is all around The night is gone but so’s the sun Let’s hope we are on course. It seems that we are lost… Nooo! Ho, heyoh! Ho, heyoh! Ho, heyoh! Where are the stars Ho, heyoh! That guide us to that land? Ho, heyoh! Where is the sun? Ho, heyoh! O, let this journey end! Set sails! Discover new domains Sea hails! The unknown is our goal Chorus The Clouds are far behind Destination still to find With wind and hope in our sails The journey’s going on No matter what’s the cost To reach horizon’s end A new era will begin In our promised land Chorus … to an unknown land

All land is far away In front of us only the sea There’s nothing but the waves A liquid mirror Of the endless skies above A mighty road as wide as the horizon in front of us Our ships Are rolling back and forth Slowly, creaking Cradled by the sea The sun is turning red An ominous silence fills the air There’s no wind, no single wave A weak low rumble Far from the crimson skies ahead Like a hungry beast approaching its prey Dark clouds Fill the sky As rain falls like spears And brings the storm! This storm will take us all Women, children, ship and crew This storm will kill us all This must be hell we're going through Forty-eight died by the storm Crushed by lightning, wind and rain Another six drowned in the waves Sinking down with silent screams Another day begins Calm and peaceful is the sea Nothing but the waves again Our comrades died We will never forget their sacrifice Given for a future that is waiting ahead Strong winds Clear blue skies We believe soon there will be Land in sight!

From the ocean Towards mountains Through dark forests Forgotten long ago To the crimson sun Hiding in clouds Through rain and thunder Until the night falls Where no beast Or single human stayed Death and ruins Are all that remains Blood and gore Once covered these plains A bone shingled serpent Is winding ahead We will follow this path to its very end No turning back, no giving up in mind Our destiny lies far ahead It is waiting for us beyond this Chorus: Ancient Path! A trail created times ago For us to wander forth Through the valley Stained from battles Over the mountains Covered in ashes Whether we will die Or be reborn To our destiny We will roam Chorus

Out of the forests Coming down from mountains tall Over traces of the past Through ancient graveyards vast That land, straight ahead Still dipped in shades of blue and red Is crowned with silhouettes Of a thousand armoured men Stained are the heavens Blood-red from the rising sun Our shadows reaching long and far To where the menace stands We won’t hide, we won’t run We stand together, proud and strong The ghostly silence bursts like glass As they come Axe, sword and hammer Crush armour, bone and flesh Don’t hesitate to strike Take the enemy’s life Strike and slice and shatter Force your way through man and shield Charge and break their will Clear the way and kill Hear my call Make them fall Rush into battle Slay them one by one Chorus: My hands are drenched with the rain of this carnage The trembling stopped with the third man I have slain No rest for us, here they come again Call to arms! Bring them down!!

The path is clear The last man fell We are standing tall Blood-stained are Armour and blade Victory is ours Stand up and behold The beauty of this sight This battle is over now We shall celebrate tonight Eat and drink and dance and sing Taste the sweet fruit of victory Bring us the wine we brought In barrels from the ancient lords And fill these horns Bring us the beer we brewed In that time we gladly left behind And wet these throats They were waiting for us Preparing for war Now it’s long time after dusk And they are gone Forever they will be gone This is what legends are made of my friends In bards’ stories our glorious deeds will remain The men that fell On our ways Don't forget their names Tell their stories Let them live on In your memories Be proud and behold The beauty of this sight This feast is ours now We will celebrate this day all night To remember Drink to the blood we shed Drink to the friends that fell Drink to the men we've slain Drink to our victory And remember

Searching For worthy foes to defeat Our blades are sharp and we are strong More victories are what we need Yearning For the thrill of the fight Intoxicated by success We crave for blood and taking lives We won our battles one by one Never falter but stay strong A trail of death we leave behind With only rage in mind We bring them pain, we bring despair Their screams shall fill the air We want to bathe in blood and tears They shall run and die in fear Hunting These spears hunger for flesh Chase them far and ride them down Beat them in a deadly clash Crushing Break their will to resist Take down every single town Let all of them cease to exist Chorus Force your way Set their homes ablaze Like the rising sun We are conquering horizons Slay them down Don’t spare anyone Take everything that they can give And set this place on fire Torching Let the flames kiss the sky Only ashes should remain In burning ruins they shall die Embers glowing In the darkness of night Debris and corpses scorched To coal, now alike With the rising sun We continue to seek For more prey to hunt And destroy the weak Chorus

This is our journey’s end We came to find our promised land We fled from the ruins Of our origin Searching, hunting for a life Without walls and chains That hold us down in misery Chorus: Smoke crawls like a serpent through the sky Charred remains of dead men pile up high With a flaming heart and freedom in mind We bared our teeth against mankind Against the world we stand and fight together Is this better than before? We have become proud and strong Our foes we’ve overcome All that we gained all that remains is A sea of blood and sand Of blood and sand Is this what we sought? The enemies that we have slain Have lived and fought so brave To protect their kin Blackened grounds we left behind To bed their corpses On a field of ashes and destruction Chorus Look back to our promised land The freedom we have scorched Burned down to wastelands of Blood and sand This is our journey’s end

We settled down On the soil we scorched Built our homes On ashes and bones Still we hear their calls A faint whisper From remnants of war No single man Rested for days Conquerors and victors Have become afraid Still we hear their calls A pained moaning Out of the dark Chorus From the shadows Every time we close our eyes Dreadful horrors Haunt a man for their desires Turned against their men Reaching for the blade to murder Comrades, one by one Die in silence, die by our hand Men and children die Slain by friend and kin Covering the ground with blood Revenge from those we killed We’re cursed! The dead brought us what we deserve I am alone The one who’s left Shivering in fear Not daring to rest Still I hear them call A silent song Soothing and calm I want to sleep To close my eyes Escape from this nightmare Where everyone died Still I hear them call A joyous laughter Full of vengeance and scorn From the shadows Now it’s time to close my eyes Dreadful horrors Haunting me for their desires Turned against myself Cutting through the throat with my knife Dusk becoming grey Life and light slowly fade away
