In the shadows

IN THE SHADOWS The beast it lurks in shadows of this hall Putrid stench of rotting corpse on the floor He leaps at you he’s going for the throat No time to cry out It hits full force smashes through the door Stone wood and glass crumbling to the floor This sacred place will burn, flames to the sky Dust and ash, all that remain Chorus End the fight, the reaper calls Into the darkness of your mind Open those dead eyes In the shadows, fight death A perfect form shape shifter veil, Eyes captured it’s leering at your lust Reach out to touch, flesh falls from it’s face The deceiver sheds tears of blood Fang and claw tear man and beast apart Screams in the night, hunger deranged Muscle and hair cannot deflect the shot In the dawn, a mortals remains.

CALL OF THE SEA Through the all seeing eye of the storm My love calls to the heart of all men I have seen all that you deny exists From this mountain peak to swollen sea Chorus All that comes ashore, stays ashore Never to leave Never to return, lost to the storm Call of the sea Swirling storm summoned, brings them to the shore Smashing ships of those that dare to pass Survivors seek refuge, in the trees it lurks A beast unleashed, senses their fear It’s claws piercing, strip them to the bone Brings me their eyes so that I can see Their home their past, another life taken In the grip of death I see them bleed The freedom that they had, for me denied The lands they have seen are now mine The thoughts the hunger I crave, come to me For love, for death, I cannot leave.

RAISE THE SWORD From icy lands to the north They sailed to distant shores On the green fields on England Put Saxon army to the test The Norsemen shield wall strong Not afraid, enjoy the fight Green fields turning red Stand tall raise the sword Chorus Through the storms across the sea Tales of fortune, raiders stories Battles won, some were lost Welcome Odin, draw my last breath Raise the sword Saxon friend for a day, use the army of heathens Keep them close mercenary, quick and sure then retreat The dukes , the church righteous Behind (closed) doors, corrupt thoughts Lies, betrayal, drink the blood, Stand tall, raise the sword If the gods allow me, I shall return home With stories of raids, strange lands and creatures fierce Listen well, learn our ways, if you are to grow old My son, my daughter, remember my name.

NEW BEGINNING Deep within a nightmare, or so I thought Slipped into a world, that’s far from blue Eyes watching me, the product of my sin Tearing at my body, from within Hands touching me, long blades they cut They are surrounding me, there’s no way out I fight the pain, it’s black, I lose my breath I fall to the ground, just let it end Chorus Brought from past, it’s here Over the edge of reality Into a hole, deep in my soul Look for a new beginning There seems to be no future in a world of hate I forget why I’m here and what I did before Giant figure looming, footsteps shake the ground My feet stuck in concrete there is only down Sweat and fear invades my only sense that’s left My skin starts to crawl, I try to run Heavy fist pounding, knocks me off my feet He stands on my chest, silhouette blocks the sun Acrid smoke, burning flesh, embers impede my sight Roaring thunder deafening, ears they have bled I crawl through the bodies torn apart Their bones splintered, remnants of my past A pin head of light, shines from a crack I tear at the ground my finger nails break Battered and bruised, joints lock into place Removing rock and rubble so the light can awake I found a new beginning.

Off to war 04:21
OFF TO WAR Take all the pieces, within the framework Think of all the choices, memories don’t last Off to war Along trenches, running to the end Around blind corners, full steam ahead Off to war Desperate situation, did he stop and look Clambers over bodies, cross ‘round his neck Pile up dismembered, no winners here Wasted population, shocked to the core Off to war

STACK THE WALLS HIGH The mass surges, axe wielding, it has begun Lightning and thunder the air ignites Notes piercing, eyes bulging, deafening roar Screaming soaring high Chorus Turn on the power, gathering force Stack the walls high unleashing the axe Turn up the volume, we all demand Stack the walls high, releasing the power Sweating, eyes stinging, neck braking speed Steel on the steel, fins taking flight Tension is rising vibration elation Unleash the fury and might Chorus 2/ Sonic obsession, gathering force Stack the walls high, unleashing the axe We are united, we all demand Stack the walls high releasing the power Here we stand, with our friends Our passion above all In our hearts it never fades Facing the wall
