II: Grasp of the Undying

Cut down one by one, no sound remains. Don’t fear if death finds you this day. Are you with me, let us savor the pain. Do you hear the distant sound calling your name? In time all of us are forgotten, the ones that don’t belong to the pages of history. But as my forefathers I take to the open seas! And as long before I follow and don’t ask more. Passed down long before the stories of old. This time I will not be forgotten, I won’t be towed along with the feeble and the enemy. But as my forefathers I take to the open seas! And as long before I follow and don’t ask more. Passed down long before the stories of old. And won’t be called upon!

Blinded by hate brought by the fall as I swear death to all, you will feel my vengeance as I claim your mortal soul. I will punish and destroy those responsible for this ploy. I will seek a thousand deaths, I will bring a thousand years of war. All that I had taken away my home is gone and my loved ones slain. For every sleep claims a piece of me, every waking moment, every single dream. As the masses came like a shadow through this land, they laid siege to all we ever had. I stood strong, I was honor bound, I stand defiant, I stand ever proud, I am the chosen, I am the guardian. The guardian! Now I seek the blood of those who claimed the innocent, I will hunt the enemy to the last. I will banish and rejoice the final breath of foes. You will see what you have made. You will see what I have finally become. All that I had laid to the waste, my spirit broken and just memories remain. For every day claims a piece of me, every waking hour claims my inner peace. My inner peace! As the masses came like a shadow through this land, they laid siege to all we ever had. I stood strong, I was honor bound, I stand defiant, I stand ever proud, I am the chosen, I am the guardian. The guardian!

The unknown terror That stood alone Passed from the days of the early suns Through worlds of lost belief Laid waste and buried deep Summoned to be set up to fall But there’s no fear That lives inside this soul Inside this world There is no way back to forgiving us Undone, deliverer The sinful and the saviors of the innocent And so Keepers of old Keep us from cold Let us fight once more Till our honor is restored The unknown terror That lives below Breathes the flames from the dying suns And lives to wake the dying ones The dying ones The dying ones (The dying ones) (The dying ones) Inside this world There is no way back to forgiving us Undone, deliverer The sinful and the saviors of the innocent And so Keepers of old Keep us from cold Let us fight once more Till our honor is restored

Beyond the lands of dreams I hear the call of riches. Word of waters blessed unnatural Granting power of gods to men Under the distant sun is my calling I walk the lands That death cannot conquer And through the unforgiving worlds The battle lays in wait Seeking the way That leads me to the power of the edge The edge I'm living and dying a thousand lives And it’s taken its toll on me this time The edge cares not so why should I Because I breathe the air of immortals And I'll be the true invincible The edge is my destiny So far from home I'm reeling I've seen the fall of friends The end of the road approaching I will have my victory I will not cease to be You will not ever stop me I won't give up the dream You cannot ever stop me Seeking the way That leads me to the power of the edge I'm living and dying a thousand lives And it’s taken its toll on me this time The edge cares not so why should I Because I breathe the air of immortals And I'll be the true invincible The edge is my destiny I'm living and dying a thousand lives And it’s taken its toll on me this time The edge cares not so why should I Because I breathe the air of immortals And I'll be the true invincible The edge is my destiny My destiny My destiny My destiny My destiny

Is there reason, in this life We call our own So many misguided visions And trusting deceit And in our shallow pursuit of truth We lost ourselves May the storms gather May the cinders roam Those that will die will still remember You drank deep and you paid the price (What did you think you would find) Answer the dark whisper And you will tear this world apart Our world apart When the walls came down We we’re left abandoned here There's no soul inside us We're just all flesh and bone To wander the dead lands forever Will we ever get the chance Will we ever get the chance To show them So many forgotten and we live on In the city that once was timeless You drank deep and you paid the price (What did you think you would find) Answer the dark whisper And you will tear this world apart Our world apart You will tear this world apart

Is that all you’ve got to say Cause this is not another game Not one that you wanna play Step, by step, by step Death march to your grave Is that all you’ve got to say Cause this is not another game Not one that you wanna play Step, by step, by step Death march to your grave There’s no one left you can blame A lonely war dance of pain Step, by step, by step Death march to your grave Is that all you’ve got to say Is that all you’ve got to say Step, by step, by step Death march to your grave

Cast down the weak Those who deceived us Those who would let us burn Liars and cheats Brittle and weak Another day will come Crawling on your knees right to the end I let you pretend you had your last days Calling for me to disappear I cannot be so easily sent forth As you descended on them You carry their memories of endless pain As remnants to their end One after one You sever them, sever them Sever Sever, sever your demons deep within A shadow that’s been long instilled Cast down the weak Those who deceived us Those who would let us burn Liars and cheats Brittle and weak Another day will come Torment so easily dispensed You tried to break our will but you failed Calling the serpentine flame Until we were just dust and remains As you descended on them You carry their memories of endless pain As remnants to their end One after one You sever them, sever them Sever Cast down the weak Those who deceived us Those who would let us burn Liars and cheats Brittle and weak Another day will come Cast down the weak Those who would flee us Those who would let us burn Liars and cheats Feeble and weak I see them Another day will Another day will Another day will come

Up here on the roof of the world Up here on the roof of the world Long have we sought to ascend this place A life of servitude to omens The elders have promised us long before With evil banished to the wastelands Hands of the chosen will extend to us Upon the roof of this world Distant voices calling for the final fight We will answer with victory Long have we fought for these lands In the shadows and the stories of the promised light Now to take our place beyond Up here on the roof of the world Up here on the roof of the world Where we are sworn to guard no more Up here on the roof of the world Long have we fought to protect this place These haunted dreams never ending Clinching to the promises of life reborn Upon the roof of this world Distant voices calling for the final fight We will answer with victory Long have we fought for these lands In the shadows and the stories of the promised light Now to take our place beyond Here on the roof of the world In the cradle of the storms Where vengeful winds cut to the bone And there's no turning back (Here on the roof of the world) (Here on the roof of the world) (Here on the roof of the world) Up here on the roof of the world Up here on the roof of the world Where we are sworn to guard no more Up here on the roof of the world

A forgotten place inside the lonely tower Tear it down with a metal roar The war eternal, I assail the unassailable A second release unhaunted by my past Beneath the marshlands Calling forth the night Buried deep a weapon forged in fire Fathers and sons their kin laid to waste (An evil is renewed) Light up The night with flames and cinder For I am renewed (Down in flames) (Feel the kick and watch them burn) Light up Caught in the crossfire Overwhelming firepower (Now return to hell) (In a firestorm) Out with the old In with the new world order Die or obey the choice is yours Undetected, into the spider’s web Taking it apart slowly piece by piece Find a shadow to hide me, and I wait Tricksters and spellweavers beware With this flame I culled the weak Made my nation strong again Well now they're all dead and gone Dead and gone With this blade I call the weak Make my nation strong again Beneath the marshlands Calling forth the night Buried deep a weapon forged in fire Fathers and sons, their kin laid to waste (An evil is renewed) Light up The night with flames and cinder For I am renewed (Down in flames) (Feel the kick and watch them burn) Light up Caught in the crossfire Overwhelming firepower (Now return to hell) (In a firestorm)
