1. A FACE IN THE GLARE

Brandish the hardblade, tempered in the blood of fallen foes
I will ride again
To the fountain
To the blackened stones
Because I remember, an oath made when we both were young

The moment I land is the moment he sends the storm

Cleaving through the night, like thunder, hooves will split the ground
I will ride again
To the fountain
To the blackened stones
Because I remember an oath made when we both were young

The moment I land is the moment he sends the storm my way

Red demonic eyes
The wild ripping claw
In the glare of my steel I see the face of a god

In the glare of my steel

Brandish the ravening blade, sharpened on the bones of fallen foes
I have rode again
On their ashes
On their broken forms
Because I remember an oath made when we both were young

The moment I land is the moment they send the storm my way

Red demonic eyes
The wild ripping claw
In the glare of my steel I see the face of a god

In the glare of my steel



2. RAVENING IRON

At dawn we strike
Rend mail and flesh
Stack the slain
Climb the gate
Burn the altar down

And the acolytes
Watch their gods
Refuse their cries
Their eyes of fear
Holding trembling swords

The smoke reveals
The gathered gods
Uncanny shapes
Above the ashes

The smoke reveals
The gathered gods
Their favor won
By slavish pawns

A city turned pyre
By Ravening Iron
Thousands of swords
No one can take them from me

Protected by fire
The Armor of Ire
Thousands of swords
No one can take them from me

The dim fire light
Betrays their numbers
Brands aflame
The din of song
They revel before war

And the sacrifice
The gain of empire
Screams in pain
With her eyes of fear
Is bound upon the stave

The smoke reveals
The gathered gods
Uncanny shapes
Above the ashes

The smoke reveals
The gathered gods
Their favor won
By slavish pawns

A city turned pyre
By Ravening Iron
Thousands of swords
No one can take them from me

Protected by fire
The Armor of Ire
Thousands of swords
No one can take them from me



3. SKULLSEEKER

Like Vagar, howling to meet the line in shieldless battle
War-lust complete
A man or a wolf howls from the oaks
And now the mareships land
Bring swords to your coast

He was Skullseeker
Taking your life

Into the ruck, nothing to feel
No armor, both hands 'round the haft of his steel
In his lands his honor increased
But to him and his foes he is only a beast

He was Skullseeker
Taking your life

Upon the field you meet your fate
The horned man
A steel resolve

Slain bodies lay piled
Her hilt prepares the goal
The bosom awaits him now

He was Skullseeker
Taking your life



4. WAR AT THE EDGE OF THE END

I have grown fond of my burdens
They serve to remind me of all I have lost
The freedom to die and live mortal
Life's fated, and I offer my guard

The spectre of Death rides unheeded
A legion unnumbered and we are but four
His army would claim every mortal
But my steel was old when Death was young

To long has he mocked as he's taken
A seer, a pureblood and I, Ire's slave
Have called down the ones who'll bring worse than
Death could dream, and He'll face it at last

The riders of hell had my blessing
The vainglory of kings and the crimes of the poor
Have spread like a plague beyond healing
They are mine to watch, for them, a Lord!

For my life I'll keep my failing light
'Til the dust has vanished
I will offer my guard
For my price I'll roam my wretched world
'Til the end of all time
I will serve as thine guard

The parting of clouds mark their arrival
And the beating of hooves cannot shake my repose
My gods have sent those behind Vleneng
To bring fear to Death and place me in his throne

The crowning is brief and well-hidden
For a Guardian's Birth is not one they should see
A procession of silent, grim, demons
March back into their secret keep

For my life I'll keep my failing light
'Til the dust has vanished
I will offer my guard
For my price I'll roam my wretched world
'Til the end of all time
I will serve as thine guard

Blind as they are, I am their Law
Their fate is mine to save as I might
Forsaking my guild, forgetting my past

Leaving my home and crossing the wall
Silently throned and becoming The All
Unseen and unheard is the dawn of my rule



5. COWARD'S KEEP

I wear the chains of a likely subject
You, like a fool, let me into your keep
And now blood has dried on the blade of my sword
The chains on my back are gone

I gain the wall, take the life from your guardian
Use it's claw, take the head from your king
And now blood has dried on the blade of my sword
I set fire the Inner Hall

The keep my goal
Their army fears the battle
The seas will roll
The mountains shield the battle

Flames lick from your once great fortress
Cut down with ease all your ill-trained men
Now blood has dried on the blade of my sword
You ran from the fight and lost

The keep my goal
Their army fears the battle
The seas will roll
The mountains shield the battle

Command nothing as the chaos binds you
Your force running as they follow your lead
Your bards will sing of your deeds and fortress
They'll sing it’s name call it Coward's Keep



6. WORMS OF THE EARTH

Upon a Roman cross there hangs a man I cannot save
For this, Rome will have to pay
I must find the door to ebon depths where they degenerate
There's nothing I would spare to see Rome howl in pain

Eyes like golden stars shining in the dark

In Dagon's Barrow I will take the stone they must obey
The King of Picts has forced his claim
I must call my forces 'cross the isle they will join the fray
I swear by nameless ones and black gods of R'lyeh

Worms of the Earth I raise
The fallen ancient race

Atla's price, a night
With a king she'll lie
In the morning light
I can see her xanthous eyes...

Under the fallen tower they burrowed all the earth away
Look how Rome has come to pay
I must face this thing I've done, the broken look on Titus' face
With pity and with mercy, I draw my blade

Worms of the Earth I raised
The fallen ancient race



7. THE GODBLADE

(Instrumental)



8. BANNERS OF ARHAI

Steer north until you see Kynara's shores
And the Banners of Arhai
Row right into the strand of Arginor

In the fray I'll look for you
A man I knew
Now you see I must repay

Pray your gods
But know there is one less for you
I wear It's blood upon my blade
The Bane of the Arhai

Slay brethren, you've earned this feast so slake your sword
On the Banners of Arhai
Run right into their ranks on the crimson shore

In the fray I'll look for you
A man I knew
Now you see I must repay

Pray your gods
But know there is one less for you
I wear It's blood upon my blade
The Bane of the Arhai

Their force arrayed in lines on red sand
I can see their fires

Arhai, the demon-priests of Ill-Nitaar, sorcery has weakened you
The Banners of Arhai
In the sky, the lesser gods of Ill-Nitaar, eternity has poisoned you
The Banners of Arhai
Now die!
