1. IL RACCONTO DELLA TEMPESTA

Introduction:

"...and so the tempest spoke, with words of ice and steel,
of light and wind, of clouds and war, telling the greatest
story ever heard... follow the fog on the path that leads to
the gates of the silent storm, in time before time, as the
legend of the Foglord and his sword has begun... "

===
Lyrics:

Come vento all'orizzonte
la tempesta raccontava
la leggenda della morte
e della gloria di una spada

Tra pianure e monti
acciaio e neve incontrerai
Storia senza tempo
e la nebbia ti guiderà

Come vento all'orizzonte
la tempesta raccontava
la leggenda della morte
e della gloria di una spada

Tra pianure e monti
acciaio e neve incontrerai
Storia senza tempo
e la nebbia dominerà


2. RISING THROUGH THE MIST OF TIME

Introduction:

"...everything began here, in the middle of the Winter, when
as a warrior he came to fight with his energy led by snow and
ice, white as a wind coming from the North... nobody knows
where he came from, because he was rising through the mist
of time... "

===
Lyrics:

Rise!
From out of nowhere he will rise
through the mist of time he was born
when there was no legend:
"one day he will storm
the power in this world"
Strong as iron he grew up and

By ice and snow
his soul was forged
Of storms and steel
his heart was pounding

Fight!
Neverending wars he'll fight
and falling with the fog by his side
he'll become the legend:
"one day he'll destroy
the fire in this world"
In his eyes the signs of winter

By ice and snow
his soul was forged
Of storms and steel
his heart was pounding

As cold as the winter
strike like a god of war
Fight till the end of time
As white as the wind that
blows on a winter night...rise!

A legend is flying
a tale is rising through the mist of time
a neverending force is striking
Like a tempest of steel and ice he'll ride away
with a silent storm inside, one day

Ice... Snow... Storms... Steel... Rising!
By ice and snow his soul was forged
He's rising through the mist of time!

Come vento all'orizzonte
la tempesta raccontava
la leggenda della morte
e della gloria di una spada

Tra pianure e monti
acciaio e neve incontrerai
Storia senza tempo
e la nebbia dominerà

...in his eyes the signs of winter

By ice and snow
his soul was forged
Of storms and steel
his heart was pounding

As cold as the winter
strike like a god of war
Fight till the end of time
As white as the wind that
blows on a winter night... rise!

A legend is flying
a tale is rising through the mist of time
a neverending force is striking
Like a tempest of steel and ice he'll ride away
with a silent storm inside, one day


3. DAUGHTER OF THE MORNING LIGHT

Introduction:

"...but there's another force, the most wonderful and bringer
of life, who entered the world to make it beautiful and enchanted...
she's the Spring, when she came as a glowing goddess from a clear
and light-cloudy sky... but the world itself turns and can be
sometimes unfair, hard and blind, striking her soul to sadness like
a gust of autumn wind to the mild leaves... and it's in her, to be born
of laughters and to fall hiding out of sight in darkness... because she
is the daughter of the morning light... "

===
Lyrics:

She was born of brightest light
away, a timeless fading night
Gold hair, green-morning eyes
with her spring-like voice
She had early sung in joy

She grew up, a girl full of life
in silver woods, enchanted skies
But sorrow crept in disguise
and darkness filled her smile

Hear the tale of the child who walked through the shadow
as she raised her chant on the absence of light
Let her sadness turn hope to storms in the oceans
May the gray in her songs be remembered in time,
out of sight

Joyful times had soon passed by
turning rays of life to fight
and nightmares painted her eyes,
Battles filled her heart
bringing the war inside

Hear the tale of the child who walked through the shadow
as she raised her chant on the absence of light
Let ther sadness turn hope to storms in the oceans
May the gray in her songs be remembered in time

Silence, shadows, sorrow
falling as black rain in the night
Silence, shadows and dark clouds
cover me and let me fight for her light

She can't forget the scars
hiding from the mirror,
nothing shines at all,
leaves are falling down with no signs
of the neverending sadness inside
Her heart was drawn
with colours of autumn
and seas by storm,
it pounds secret thorns

Hear the tale of the child who walked through the shadow
as she raised her chant on the absence of light
Let her sadness turn hope to storms in the oceans
May the gray in her songs be remembered In time,
out of sight...


4. MASTERS OF WAR

Introduction:

"... masters of war! ... as they met fighting from the opposite
sides of the battle of life... but they were not born to be one
against the other... so their weapons which knew it since the
dawn of time refused to strike and an ancestral force tied them
together again as nature itself... so they pronounced words from
the deepest and strongest roots of the earth high to the purest
and celestial skies... and this will be their oath, woven to fight as
one, forever... "

===
Lyrics:

They met in a battle one day with no sun
the fog spread its wings on the sky
The time it was right for the heroes to fight
each other with hammers and might

See the Masters raging for the steel as one
Hear their warcries on the battlefield
Let their deeds be sacred

The Masters of war clashed deciding who's right
bur destiny changed all their lives
The steel in their weapons refused to fight
and made them unbreakably tied

See the Masters raging for the steel as one
Hear their warcries on the battlefield
Let their deeds be sacred

Northern fog... everywhere!

From the stormy highest mountains
to the bloody fields of fire
they will swear their oath on high
"Into the battlefield I'll follow you again
till the last drop of my blood will wash the land..."
Until the world will destroy the world at end
Glory hails the Masters!

(Voices of the gods of light)
"Hear my call and bless the signs... "
She will rise as spring grapevine

(Voices of the ancestors)
"Ride my son and fear no one... "
He as winter ivy will rise

Light was a miracle within a world of night
Their blood meant life, their will meant might
And sealing swords into the sky
Vows they made with steel
Into new wars they'll ride...
and kill!

See the Masters raging for the steel as one
Hear their warcries on the battlefield
Let their deeds be sacred

Northern fog...everywhere!

From the stormy highest mountains
to the bloody fields of fire
they will swear their oath on high
"Into the battlefield I'll follow you again
till the last drop of our blood will wash the land... "
Until the world will destroy the world at end
Glory hails the Masters!


5. BY THE EVERSPRING TREE

Introduction:

"...Spring... Spring all over the seasons and the years... and as the
battles were faded out of memory and long far out of the horizon,
the Winter found her... under a white blooming that arose as a
miracle on a green meadow within a light garden, concealed in a
world of night... and so life spread on by the everspring tree... "


6. THE STORM OF STEEL

Introduction:

"...and so it was time for steel... and many battles were to be fought
by the masters of war united... and together the energy of the Winter
and the power of the Spring united, the triumph of life is complete...
and so they went on their path... battle after battle... war after war,
arising in ice and light a full force storm of nature... a storm of steel... "

===
Lyrics:

Fog dimmed the sky
Heavy snow was falling fast
White ran the cold rivers
Ice was on the land

United strong heroes
they marched as one
Grey were their seals,
colder than their metal blade
They trusted in steel

Through lakes of blood
fighting with swords in hands,
the Masters rode shining
Northern suns in them

Unleash the storm!
Hammers rule loud this war!
Your screams called for vengeance
foes of ye were seen no more

It's time! The war is glory
Kill with lust for blood inside!
Steel legends rise!

Winter's blood inside
Endless wars they will storm
with the fog by their side
Through the mist he was born
Through her power the Foglord
will return to fight
with a heart made of ice,
a sword made of light...
In the end they will raise the storm of steel!

And so they fought
leading the grey army's might
At their command
legions of immortal knights

Their banner flew
higher than tempest clouds
and on their shields
rose up trees and hawks in red and white

It's time! The war is glory
Kill with lust for blood inside!
Steel legends rise

Winter's blood inside
Endless wars they will storm
with the fog by their side
Through the mist he was born
Through her power the Foglord
will return to fight
with a heart made of ice,
a sword made of light
In the end they'll arise...

The storm of steel was their soul
The storm of steel inflamed their will
The storm of steel was their right
The storm of steel led their swords into the fight

Winter's blood inside
Endless wars they will storm
with the fog by their side
Through the mist he was born
Through her power the Foglord
will return to fight
with a heart made of ice,
a sword made of light...
In the end they will raise the storm of steel!


7. ABSENCE OF LIGHT

Introduction:

"... but suddenly everything went dark... the daughter felt in
silence like a fading ray of life in the darkness, taken away magic
and brightness with her... and so all of the warrior's world was
lost... and he called and searched for her without rest, wandering
until the end of the earth... but no signs of Spring could be seen and
only misery and coldness stood on that path once covered with
flowering colours... and who but him can deeply hear this silent
fairytale... in absence of light?"

===
Lyrics:

The snow will keep on falling
on mountains in the wild
The coldness of the wintersun
painted icy marks

Through victories in battle
and chapters full of life
the story of the Warmasters
suddenly went dark

The warrior lost his magic
in blinding dark, alone
The daughter of the morning light
pure as snow is gone

Her chant of spring is soundless
it can't be heard, no more
The memories of white brightness
left in fear his world

When darkness comes down
as tears on the ground
the storms of a thousand fairytales
falls with no sounds

When brightness has died...
is gone out of sight
We all hear this silent fairytale
in absence of light

The daughter fell in silence
no tears upon her eyes,
for treason she passed by
to the clouds that rule the sky

In search of her he wondered
until the end of world
No solace for her death
he could find forevermore

When darkness comes down
as tears on the ground
the storms of a thousand fairytales
falls with no sounds

When brightness has died...
is gone out of sight
We all feel this silent fairytale
in absence of light

Her death in silence turned
his own destiny to dust
A thunderstorm was crying while
black shadow filled his heart

Then spring it became darkness
the sky was falling down
The story of the Warmasters
saw no more the sun

When darkness comes down
as tears on the ground
the storms of a thousand fairytales
falls with no sounds

When brightness has died...
is gone out of sight
We all hear this silent fairytale
in absence of light

When darkness comes down
as tears on the ground
the storms of a thousand fairytales
falls with no sounds

When brightness has died...
is gone out of sight
We silently cry for fairytales
in absence of light


8. WHEN THE BLIZZARD AWAKES

Introduction:

"... and so the Winter, alone and meaningless, blew on as a warrior
for his last battle... one last battle fought against all the world guilty
of what happened to his Spring... and all the world could see was the
frantic pounding of the snow and the cold cries of the winds that hit
the earth in a final storm before leaving war behind him and fall
doomed in the end... and so the fog covered the sky... and nothing
shall last but grief and ruin when Winter lastly stands... because
nothing shall withstand on his way, when the blizzard awakes... "

===
Lyrics:

Shine no suns in the morning,
a storm in silence is crying
for the daughter of light
For her now he's rising into the sky his steel
out for vengeance and fight

Ride a warrior alone
for war his heart pounds
like tempests of iron and snow
Awakening his last strength for one last ride
then storms will die

Gone is your light...
such is the warrior's time!

Ride alone, master of fight!
Down from the North
feel the force of the rising warcry
And the fog will cover all the stars
into the dark when the blizzard awakes...
...it's war!

Burns her death in your eyes
No more your power will storm
this cold land with no life
With blind rage at your side
you'll leave behind all wars to strive

Gone will be might...
now hail the warrior's time!

Ride alone, master of fight!
Down from the North
feel the force of the rising warcry
And the fog will cover all the stars
into the dark when the blizzard awakes...
...it's war!

All hail the last war clouds!

Ride alone, master of fight!
Down from the North
feel the force of the rising warcry
And the fog will cover all the stars
into the dark when the blizzard awakes...
...it's war!


9. IN EVERWINTER WAIT

Introduction:

"... emptiness... and no hope... like a shadow in everwinter wait... "


10. THE GIFT OF THE WHITE LADY

Introduction:

"... so the Winter found the Spring, but it was only in his dreams...
and everytime the awakening was a colourless morning without
light... but something that was fated to fall from where he came
could hear all this cold sorrow, too... but a sad spirit of a lady dressed
in snow who lived from centuries in a lost tower of frozen whirlwinds
could bring a gift of life for the Spring herself?"

===
Lyrics:

Safe in my arms
sleeps the daughter of light
in her calm spring-like smile
dreaming skies in her eyes
but she died

Fall tears from the clouds
Cold trees in the dark,
so cold inside

Lady in white
to your heart now I cry
let me weep at the sky
you're the only one who can find
one gift for her life
Please answer, I beg, my chant...

My light flies away,
so far away
My hope fades
as wintersuns at dusk


11. THE SWORD'S WILL

Introduction:

"... and so the gift was marked... and it was a gift of life... «To return
as the Spring and the morning light in the sky or to live with the
Winter forever, but only beyond the gates of the silent storm as the
only light in the dark... go outside and it would mean to be turned
into a lord of the fog and his sword»... and then the white lady got
silent fading in her falling snow flakes of time and our path came to its
last crossroad... Is it the end or a new dawning stronger than before as
the nature returns with its neverending beauty? Are this a bound or is
it beyond any limits and over any boundaries?

So nothing but time shielded the place hidden inside the gates while
they closed forever... while all around the fog called for the sword's will..."

===
Lyrics:

Skies of an epic immortal life seal
marked the gift in a timeless snow landscape
So revealed were the secrets of magic and steel
in the end of the Warmaster's tale

Rise for your will
be the Sword of the Foglord forever
Rise! ...from the dark you will shine,
you're the one
and the fate of the Masters of war

Harsh was the crossroads that lies on her life
as the words of the White Lady's message
"... to return as the goddess of light in the sky
or to live in the dark of the gates..."

Rise for your will
Until the end with the Foglord forever
Rise! ...from the dark you will shine,
you're the one
and the fate of the Masters of war...

Night falls, fall darkness and cold
The Masters' fates unite
When fog calls the gates seal their walls
a silent storm arises
It's the sign!
...the time has come alive
for the Sword's will

"Out of the battlefield I'll follow you again,
walking down the path that lead us to the end"
Until the world will burn
her Warmaster's will be done!

Will is the secret of magic and might
all the strength in your heart no one shall quell
For your sake a new kingdom of fog and ice-skies
will be born as the legend will tell

Rise for your will
be the heart of the Foglord forever
Rise! ...live again as a light in the dark
Hear the scream of the thunder inside!

Night falls, fall darkness and cold
The Masters' fates unite
When fog calls the gates seal their walls
a silent storm arises
It's the sign!
...the time has come alive
for the Sword's will
