| A Land Driven Into The Fire
The book of life written in blood
Lies in the hands of the lord of the world of war
This lasting winter could the dying endure
Still calling the wolves when wounded
The sword doesn't heal the forests' wounds
What is written is undone by blood
Hearken to the echoes of warcries
The opposing shore will not wait for the dawn
Clay from the earth, ash from the sky
Offerings of the burnt soil from flames
Waves from the sea, drops from the sky
To calm the spirits of fire
No one has looked at us from above
The scourge has ripped through the clouds
Race of rats on the deck of the world
Grudge flames in the eyes of the prey
When the west casts a shadow on east
Whilst a poisoned mind desires glory
Which was born of ice is now driven into fire
The firemakers all drowned in black
No man will say he sees the coming
No man will say he fears
Splinter your axes against the rocks
Hang your heads and kneel
Shed your skin to reveal your flesh
Wallow in shame to sacrifice your kin
The will of man like iron unbent
Who was created flawless may hang his head
He fears, but will die fighting
In honour of gods he has never known
The victor must wait for his moment
To cast his words into the wind
Rarely the mountais do move
Even the strongest won't shift them alone
Your flame is ablaze but once
Behold as it wanes to veil the earth in ash
Last sparkles die out in the depths of cold
Death itself you may invite to find and fan them
And so you shall weep, for the somber guest in your stay
Spreads its wings over your beautiful life
Blowing it out with one single breath
To arms, you shall always hearken
With your blood they veil the ground
It's a path you will be followed on
As long as the darkness may reach
Claim your positions, you shall never be free
In your coffins your children are carried
The wrath of man cast upon the gods
Right through strength kills the strong
Defend your home, offer your loved to the ruin
Burn the land left behind before burning yourself
The wrath of man cast upon the gods
Red clouds blur over the sky
This is how it ends, heat sweeps the earth
This is how it ends, I can see it now
Red sky to encircle the rats
The book of life written in blood
From the hands of the lord of the world of war
Lay down on earth with bindings charred
And with all words made unsaid
This is how it ends, I can see it now
This page will be the last
This is how it ends, to emptiness, to oblivion
And none will ever return |
