Part I: The Dark Slumber Beneath the murky soil The draw of the ancient spell Swallowing everything in the ground And then there was no sound Twisting the roots of life Distorting the obscure shapes The day was creeping into night And then there was no light The mist was rolling from the mountains Creatures were crawling under the ground The darkness fell from the sky And then there was no life The spell was too strong Too weak to resist its pull The wind was frozen still as I took my last breath But then there was no death, why The days turned into years The years turned into eternity The natural order Was twisted into dark harmony I created my own fears The mist of sorrow encircled my thoughts The demons came forth from the shadows Bringing dark disease With a sudden roar the ground trembled and cried As the fire burned a hole in the sky The light was swallowed into the ground And the colors were broken in the night And all the stars' creations were left to die Now, let the dark disease wipe out all the living Oh, and let all the lands be filled with silence In the night's cold embrace you left me astray When the hope of new life fades away Now, let all the lands be covered in black snow Will the morning sun ever rise again And let all the creatures of the forest turn into stone The slow demise has begun, will this be forever Part II: The Awakening From the realms below we ride And in terror they run and hide From the shadows of old we rise Awaken from the dark - from the dark slumber Over the ancient ruins we fly Where the old kings go to die And new kingdoms rising high Awaken from the dark, dark slumber Awaken from the dark - from the dark slumber Awaken from the dark, dark slumber Rise Creatures of the dawn Crawling from the depths of the frozen earth As the shadows were twisting And turning beneath the sun The sound of the moaning beasts Blaring through the forest As they're roaming wild Beneath the morning sun Ride, ride with us again Fight, and live as free men Die, And be born again Ride, ride, ride with us again Fight, fight, and live as free men Die die, and be born again Die and be born again Centuries in darkness Bound to ruthless ice and snow As the dawn of the new world rises We shall be free By the fire we live and die And the light of the sun fills our eyes From the fire beyond the ancient stars We are born From the realms below we ride And in terror they run and hide From the shadows of old we rise Awaken from the dark Over the ancient ruins we fly Where the old kings go to die And new kingdom's rising high Awaken from the dark dark slumber Awaken from the dark - from the dark slumber As the old worlds fall behind Our spirit reaches wide With no fear breathing new life Awaken from the dark, dark slumber Ride, ride with us again Fight, and live as free men Die, And be born again Ride, ride, ride with us again Fight, fight, and live as free men Die die, and be born again, oh Die and be born again!

I am the mist in the morning, I am the moss in the ground. You are the light that cuts through the stone. I am the worms in the dirt, I am the branches reaching the sky. You are the source, the orchestrator of life. In the dark rain the grey mountains sing a sad song of winter and the howling wind. Visions of the past in the haunting dreams. Under the dead sky, under the withered trees. The night falls upon the forest that weeps. Father of shadows that forever, that forever sleeps. I saw the lakes that shimmer, I heard the clanging of the wild rivers. You are the voice that carries throughout the land. I felt the strength of my ancestors as I walked through the land of the dead. You are the fire that burns forever! In the dark rain the grey mountains sing a sad song of winter and the howling wind. Visions of the past in the haunting dreams. Under the dead sky, under the withered trees. In the dark rain the grey mountains sing a sad song of winter and the howling wind. Visions of the past in the haunting dreams. Under the dead sky, under the withered trees. The night falls upon the forest that weeps. The forest that weeps! Father of shadows that forever sleeps, that forever sleeps. The night falls upon the forest that weeps. The forest that weeps! Father of shadows that forever sleeps, that forever sleeps.

Once I saw the light in your eyes but nothing will be any longer the way I remember. I've become someone else and I can't go back, I tried. I'm lost in the fields of snow far from home. Follow the coast under the frozen sky, with a growing sorrow in weary eyes. Swallow the ghost of the lucid dream, and silent will be the mournful sea. The sands of life covered in white from the darkest nights to the blinding light. I almost reached home, I was so close, but to be left alone is what hurts the most. Am I the only one awake, am I the one who is fading away? There was so much I wanted to say, do I have a reason anymore to stay? Washed away by the morning sun, hear the howling call from the other side. And so much was left undone, the weight of the world quietly crushed the dying light. Washed away by the frozen stars, feel the burning coldness of the falling snow. And one day when everything is gone the trail in the snow disappears. Am I finally home? Washed away by the morning sun, washed away by the frozen stars. And so much was left undone, one day everything is gone. Washed away by the morning sun, hear the howling call from the other side. And so much was left undone, the weight of the world quietly crushed the dying light. Washed away by the frozen stars, feel the burning coldness of the falling snow. And one day when everything is gone the trail in the snow disappears. Am I finally home?
