Unbearing lands At crimson dusk A trembling ground Weeping skies [and] bloodred streams Upon the hills A legion marches To slay our kin One last time We stand our ground Filled with fear – to die One last time We raise our swords Hold our shields To defend what’s ours A storm of swords Rains down on us Our sons cut down By their hand A reckless rage And charcoal blades Bound to none To none but death [They bring] death to all That seeks the light An Empire built Upon our graves We beg the gods To stand with us On forlorn grounds We die as one My right to fight My right to smite My right to slay My right to die in vain
2.
Mossy green branches Air thick and old A mocking ravens call Some wicked eyes in the trees Deeper and deeper Below the forest crown Ferocious and savage Creatures dance in the dark A flash of light In the fog Creatures appear Surrounded we are Spellbound and enchanted We’re no longer lost Escape is nigh We follow I, follo The ways of Khrabanas Ever to be followed We entered as one I leave Alone

In these frostbitten lands Where the ever white dwells No man remains alive Under ancient mountains The wind howls in despair Ever unheard ---------------------------- No path To lead Me out of this frozen hell The mountains They mourn Not for me But for the wide waste land I lost It all My kin, my life, my faith By the gods! Let me die All alone No thing To fight [for] No more My legs get weary, knee deep in snow Holding on to life, worth naught Marks of beasts, larger than me A thing that hunts, I’m it’s prey One last peak to defeat There must be a way to leave

Berserker 05:30
Waving banners bearing sigils of their heathen gods Roaring oars battering against the salty waves Rolling clouds outline these damned shores A hate so pure Scorching thunder A burning stench where they come ashore Iron clad and heavy armoured beasts Infuriated by these demons deeds I shall slay Slay or fall I come to conquer I come to take I don’t know mercy, I Judge with my blade I see the ire Gleaming in your eyes, while I see your blood Pooling on the ground I’ll face your hatred Withstand the storm Refrain your judgement, and Change your fate DIE! This shall be final, and You’ll meet your end This shall be final, and This is the end
