1. PAST TIME SPIRIT

See the shining eyes
Through the trees of an age-old wood
Through the mist of Nifelheim halls
When legends become reality
And reveal the old asleep spirit
Keeper of eternity's key
With wrath and ravenous fury
As the rise of a Phoenix from the soil
I condemn you to your desperate gods
From behind winter's silence
The choirs that spread in the dark
Are the chants of the ancient gods in the wind

Entombed in the pagan earth I am the eye
Of Asgard on Midgard a star in the sky
I will rise in the autumn cold to haunt the dreams
I will rise between stone and wood for the years to come
High above the hills and far beyond the seas
Soul of the old heart of the earth
Beyond the veil of night, in the heat of the sun
Spirit of the times before
Whispers in the wind, my chants are calling
Soul of the old heart of the earth
As a night-wandering wolf, eyes amongst the dark
Spirit of the times before

Rise spirit, rise spirit
May the stars burn in thy name
With fires burning in my hand
And rage bursting out my sword
Trampling the mighty cliffs of stone
On Hel's path the warriors are walking
As behind the skies are trembling
In front of the sun of the fallen ones
With wrath and ravenous fury
As the rise of a phoenix from the soil
I will revive from the old forgotten times

From behind winter's silence
The choirs that spread in the dark
Are the chants of the ancient gods in the wind
The sun will grow dark when the oceans will drawn the lands
The fires will roar and the flames will dance until the skies
Colder than the ice and stronger than the age-old stone
A horde of pagan hearts for the years to come
From a time in the memories lost, the winds are calling my name
Spirit of the forgotten halls, keeper of the great gates
For I am he whose eyes are seeing, I will dry the tears
Of a crying age only alive in the twilight and the stone


2. BEYOND THE BLACK GATE

In the fires of Mountain Doom
In an immemorial time
Was forged through cruelty and hate
A ring of absolute power
A ring to rule them all
May wings of darkness spread
May my powers bear in this ring

Embodied in the vilest elements and beings
Through ravens, through coldness, through wolves and burning fires
My spirit of evil shall rise and darken the world

An eye of fire and darkness
A gaze pointed on the ring
With the obessional will
To get a carnal form
Come to me servants, souls, the time has come
For this world to burn down

An eye of fire and darkness
A gaze pointed on the ring
With the obessional will
To get a carnal form
Run humans run, blinded eyes
In a lost world where your souls are dead
Because you forgot what you should never have lost


3. SOLARIS

The sun is burning everything
The eye of death is shining
The black hole in the sky is opening
Chaos, the storm is getting colder
Darkness, the sky is becoming black
Fallen, the end is imminent

The torment is blowing
The earth is falling down
Ice is becoming fire
The earth is falling down
Massive destruction
The earth is falling down
All the races are dying

Chaos, the storm is getting colder
Darkness, the sky is becoming black
Fallen, the end is imminent
Fire is everything

The forest of distress, tears of desolation
Last night with the moon, forever alone
I will never see all these things
Oceans, skies, trees, my journey is over

The world is changing into a volcano
Fire is everything
My heart and my soul are consuming
I see the black hole in the sky


4. THE WANDERER'S SONG

(Instrumental)


5. BURIED IN THE LABYRINTH...

Darker and darker in a deep dead silence
Behind the walls of a poisoned fog
Lost in eternity a realm arises
Buried and lost in the labyrinth of time.

The moonlight turns into night
As far as the eye can see
Everything seems to be frozen
And the blackening sky never ends.

The soul of this unanimated fresco seems to sleep and
Wait for the moment to awake
As if the ever blowing winds, would blow for the centuries to come.

Across the trees of the forest around
A procession of faceless shrouded men
Endlessly walking and whispering the chants
Of an age buried in the labyrinth of time.

As the earth is tearing open
A cloud of ravens rises through the skies
And darkens the pale moonlight
That hopelessly spreads her rays through darkness.

Suddenly as silence came back
Adopting the path forged by the crows
Four silhouettes arose from nothingness
Joining their hands in a ceremonial chant
Summoning elements to revive the sleeping spirit
That was once living here

The winds that have always blown here, will blow for the centuries to come.


6. SOVEREIGN

My eyes see red, the fear of death is beginning
The end is coming, through an eternal night
Perfect destruction, soul desolation
Massacre evolution, killing process embraces my life.

Lost illusions of nothingness
My blood is becoming colder
Endless agony, immortal rites

Sculpture of night, sovereign of darkness
Old spirit of the earth, sovereign of the forest

Beautiful landscapes
Oceans, mountains
Forest of Souls
My roots are this nature

The ravens are flying
Thorns of sacrifice, my flesh is bleeding
My existence is disappearing for another land
Dark tranquillity, mirror of sadness
Sovereign of darkness
Sovereign of the forest


7. FALLEN HALLS

Seems that existence has come to an end
Far from the cries of men
Under the gaze of a crying moon
Far from the judgement of men
Here my will has been spent, I will leave this future behind.

Remember our fathers
Leaving this world forever
Too sad to see the seeping scar
Tearing apart because men ignorance
Oh sad it is for me to see my father fallen halls
Because here a thousand of men have fought for their pride and glory.

Tear of blood cover the stars
Like if their light was gone
Gone with the chants of a dying age
That fades day by day away
See the twilight of honour and pride
Setting this world aflame
May the sword of shame fall down
Free the fury
And enlighten the ruins of these fallen halls.

High on their thrones
Passed behind the walls
Of space and time
With hate filled eyes
And spiteful smiles
They point their finger
On the masquerade
On this eternal ruin
On this eternal fall.

High on their thrones, with their swords in the hand
As one the were great, an alliance from the past
Blood-written on the stone, their names will survive.


8. THE UNLEASHED ONES

Vast bloody plains frozen in time
That once belonged to the clans of the free
The ones who fell snapped up by death
But who live enshrined
Spirits of the battles sons

By ages were forged stories and tales
As sculptured in stone their crowns will survive

Riding to an uncertain fate
With the tragedy's hand above their heads
Furious and proud through the masses they fight
Like a forthcoming storm raising the dust
Unleashed by the will, by the will to be free
Challenging the scythe of the one who roams
Woe to all of those
Who shall cross the path of the sword of hatred

Oh morning so feeble dawn by the first rays of light
Standing there towards their fate
Spirits of the battles sons unleash the fury through the wind
To reign on these unforgotten lands
Your shining eyes in the battle skies guardians of these old fields
Filled with the will to trample the shadow's face
You have come to take what is yours and leave desolation behind
To reign on these unforgotten lands

Through several years of winter and frost
We will all sing the words of the funeral rites
Ceremonial hymns of pure blasphemy
Changing your valleys in thousand of coffins
With the winds of war and the winds of cold
As one with the earth, we will erase your race

From chaos we come, awaken from our sleep
As tyrants we will use the iron discipline
Demonized, we ride crushing your golden thrones
Let us be mightier, than we never have been

In a shroud of mist these bloody fields awake
Standing here in the fog with so cold a heart
The hordes that passed through the lying legions
Were the unleashed ones but free of their minds and their lands

Oh morning so feeble dawn by the first rays of light
Standing there towards their fate
Spirits of the battles sons unleash the fury through the wind
To reign on these unforgotten lands
Your shining eyes in the battle skies guardians of these old fields
Filled with the will to trample the shadow's face
You have come to take what is yours and leave desolation behind
To reign on these unforgotten lands
