1. DOORWAY TO HEAVEN

Down from the sky in the dead of night
A thunderous sound and a blinding light
He slowly approaches, no fear in his heart
Inviting the wanderer in from the stars
To those who would challenge his might
Willing souls to give their life
Born from the promise of death
A new god ascends

Amun Ra, he's always watching
Amun Ra, the sun in the sky
Amun Ra, the keeper of suffering
And keeper of immortal light

New order comes, a life of torment
The gods demand your servitude
We'll never know another almighty
For there can be only one Ra

Enchanting, yet frightening
This gleaming portal of light
It's blinding, our purgatory
Awaits on the other side

Flow through the river of space
On the waters we gaze
Through the passage of time
The stars will align
And carry our race
To the sands of eternity
Bury our minds in obscurity

Walk through the gate
Brave the unknown you must face
Don't close your eyes
Destiny's calling your name

Long have we waited in vain
For deliverance
Far from the cause we ascribe
Our saviors have arrived

Beware Horus, the false god of pain
Anubis comes, the hound of despair
The guardians of the unholy bringer
Of darkness and desolation

Surrender now, your futile ways
Surrender now, your people will fall
Surrender now, abandon all hope
As the sun crumbles down from the sky

Enchanting, yet frightening
This world of demons
It's blinding
This is no doorway to heaven

Open the gateway to
Go through the doorway to
To hell


2. WIDOW AND THE RAVEN

Black widow in the window spinning webs of rind
And turning back the hands of time
And lingering though the storm
Has died and though you freed yourself.

Do you ever take the time to wonder?
Does living in the light ever burn away the darkness
And do you ever learn to let the sun back in your life?
Though you yearn for a start lit sky and the moon keeps calling out your name.

It’s time to leave the night behind,
You’re so cold,
You don’t have to be alone,
The fire is gone,
You don’t have to be torn.

It’s always there looming over,
Don’t let the demon seep its way back in your soul,
It’s just a raven seeking fables long since died.
Keep the memories and leave all the bane behind.

You’re so cold,
You don’t have to be alone,
The fire is gone,
You don’t have to be torn.

Drink of the wine he said,
Bleed and be mine he said,
The devil you thought you shed,
Is laughing inside your head.

You’re not broken,
Just undecided.
You mourn the tempest though you swore to leave it,
Your wretched mind is screaming lies,
Though the raven cries remember why you left it dying,
Time to let this pain go.

I’d rather be cold,
I’d rather be alone,
The fire will come again,
It’s time to own the night.


3. AMBITION'S PRICE

I stand divided
Broken and beaten I'm
Awaiting judgement
For down in hell my home resides
Sleep brings me no reprieve

Awoken by your bloodied cries
Your visage always
Haunting me

On and on, I will walk
All alone in my pain
I will stay forever more
I am bound by
A conscience that's tearing me
Slowly apart

Spirits torment me
As I reap what I have sewn
My soul died on that day
My brother slain upon the throne
I see him in my mind
His eyes piercing through the dark
Question my resolution
And tear through my still beating heart

I drown, sinking down
In my sea of betrayal
I succumb to the shame
Deep inside
Honor lost
Memories haunting me
Feeling the pain
Of ambition's price

Brought to my knees, I feel the disease
As I walk through the valley of shadows
Devils berate me, forcing my hatred
To turn to the killer within

Is this all? No!
Will I fall to my end
I welcome the cold embrace
Death may bring eyes


4. HERO OF TIME

Three souls control its glory
All bound by destiny
These three forces forge this story
Of one hero born to wield the sword

Chaos reigned through the nothingness
A blackened space
A world of eternal darkness
Through the void, three Golden goddesses
On high ruled to design

Evanesced upon their labors done
The sacred ones retired
And left behind a force divine
That shined of holy light

Come play, come away
Do you hear that melody
Calling out your name?
Ride on, carry on
Feel the courage you know is in your heart
Be the hero that you are

To the one with an ebony heart of ice
The shard of perfect power
To another born of privilege
Came the wisdom to inspire

To one boy of no consequence
The courage to unite them
A spirit reincarnate
And a master of the sword

Though it's dangerous to go alone

Sages, sing your song
Pray the dawn will come
Though evil comes tonight
A savior stands to fight
The hero of time


5. THE GATES

Golden
Shining with the setting sun
Brothers lie
Carrying their toll to Charon

For a face
Some pretty face that burned
The endless towers of Troy and
Doomed a thousand sails

But on this day
A hero may be born of us
Our bravery
Shall travel down in history

And all the world will know the blood
Which spilled upon the sands
And songs of our tale shall be
Sung forevermore

Storm the gates, rise!
For honor we fight
Glory lies
Beyond the wall
The gods ignite the flame of war
Immortal we die
And though they send us
To the afterlife
We will continue on
Though we all fall down

Bloodied lies
A young boy dead upon the sands
Hear the cry of
Myrmidons sworn to avenge
They will lead
Battalions through the city streets
No time for fear
Don your armor now

For into battle we go marching on
Our swords will slay them one by one
To Hades we will travel
Legend calling out our names
Darkness falls, but we remain
And though we may fall, we will rise again


6. THE UNSPOKEN

The echoing cries of distorted lies
Broken by covetous minds
Foreign and faded these shadows we are
An eagerness taken too far

Born into hate then banished away
Aiming to bring our decay
Bringers of death, like a virus we spread
Watch as your empire ends

The sweet lullaby of screams in the night
And stories no longer untold
The sun in the sky is shining its light
Leaving you nowhere to hide so

Come creator
Embrace your failed experiment
Run, I've found you
And now you'll face the consequence

The time has come to wash away
The lies that made us undone
The truth will surface, the night release us
We fight to witness the end of our plight
And the death of a lie

Your children await your reckoning day
By the wrath of the reapers, you'll pay
Your existence is done
Though the day walker comes
Our justice is rightfully won


7. RETURN TO ME

A voice cold and held dead inside
Hope waiting with silent cries
Waves rolling in overhead
Ocean calling me out of my bed
Life stolen and ripped away
Heart broken by absent swain

I can't wear this disguise
I'm losing my mind
And falling into myself
This pain can never end
You decided then
To test my soul again

This ghost I see
Please play for me
Laconic melodies
Sweet songs
Reminding
Of hope lost at sea

Now I'm looking with open eyes
For the truth in what I see
You're feeding me lies
The face you hide behind
Only living in memory
Will never return to me

Tell me of that song you play
It takes me home to simpler days
Soothing this pain inside
A mother's grief for her stolen child

What's happened to my love
Where have all the pieces of me gone
I know that you know
Don't spare my feelings now
Relate to me just how
This nightmare has to end

Calling me down to stay
This newfound despair
They'll never hear my voice
I'll never hold them near

With every rising tide
Sick fortune plays its game
Speechless and cold I'll wait
Delusion in my gaze

With one last song, I'll sing your fate
The ferry man awaits
As your soul is swept away
An empty shell I'll stay


8. CALL OF THE FROSTWOLVES - I. SLAVE

Forever fighting, always surviving
Never knowing freedom
Born of the broken, beaten and conquered
Mother and father soaking the ground with their blood

Now taken and raised in
This world where I'm hated
And tortured and used for
Another's own honor

A savage, yet clever orc gladiator
Titanic and lethal
Living in bondage, but behind the carnage
My soul is crying out cursing his name

They've chained me and shamed me
Controlled me and abused me
They hold me to the name they gave me

They call me slave
Branded for life
All my days I'll remain
In this cage I've been raised
Forever slave
Trapped in this game
That they force me to play
Just a pawn I'll stay

Tired of waking each day and taking
Beatings from this tyrant
Dear friend and sister, I beg you deliver
Me out of this hell that I live day by day

The kindness you've shown me
Will always stay with me
But this life I
Can't go on living

They call me slave
Branded for life
All my days I'll remain
In this cage I've been raised
Forever slave
Trapped in this game
That they force me to play
I won't take this fate

Waiting for that moment
An end to this torment
It's time now, be swift now
Don't make a sound, feet to the ground

Run, through the flames
Go, no one will see
Run to the trees
Go to freedom

No longer slave
Branded by none
No more days I'll remain
In their cage I am
No longer slave
I'll return one day
And they'll fall to their knees
When they hear my name

No longer chained
No longer caged
No longer shamed
No longer tamed

No longer slave


9. CALL OF THE FROSTWOLVES - II. LIBERATOR

Lok'tar Ogar !
For years they have enslaved me
For sins that weren't my own
My people lost and wandering
Their birthright I'll atone

Wild forces enter
Bless me with their grace
Absolving all the faults
That brought upon our shame

With the elements now on my side
The fight will soon begin
Doomhammer leads the battle
Destruction lies within

The time has come my brothers
To amend our past mistakes
This oppression that we suffer
Unjust in every way
Embrace the choice before you
No more shall we defer
Reclaim your noble, rightful place
As wardens of the Earth

In the dark of night, I'll enter
These camps of fear and woe
Displays of strength I'll show them
Their fires I will stoke

Take up arms
Remember all you rightly are
Rise and forgive
Your predecessors wrongs

The time is now my brothers
To save yourselves this day
No longer shall you wallow
In misery and dismay

Frostwolves we are
Lok'tar Ogar!

With the orcish horde now at my back
I'll bring the fight to them
They'll quiver at our battle cry
No mercy we shall give


10. CALL OF THE FROSTWOLVES - III. WARCHIEF

Brothers, sisters, orcs of every clan
The drums of war are crying out
You feel them beating through your soul
Heart pounding to their dreadful sound
As we approach the stronghold's gates
Remember what you came to claim
A life of freedom and your pride
The walls of shame shall fall tonight

Standing there upon his steeple
Enslaver of our people
I won't be broken by his hate
We won't be swayed by evil games

Once chance to fall in line
Bow down
And lay your armaments
To the ground
I think you know my name
Returned to seal your fate

We hold our heads up high
Honor revived
By memories of fallen brethren
We'll avenge

As we ride to victory
With all our might
We'll carry ever on
Until the day is won
Time to die

Hiding in his wretched tower
He makes his final error
My eternal suffering was his gain
And now my sister he has slain

All reason has escaped me
Blood boiling, no more waiting
Once slave, now liberated
This warchief now will have his head

Now he'll fall
Die by my hand, by my steel
And I will stay no more
Beholden to his sway nevermore

Stand and fight
Your time has come

Try to run, try to hide
Take your blade, stand and face me now
On your feet, I'll see you fall
Your final breath, my freedom cry

A slave no more
Liberator of my people
I have made this life my own
Warchief standing tall

We ride
For the Horde!


11. EDEN ABLAZE

What's this feeling that becomes

Ever clearer for the one
Before my eyes
It's poisoning my mind

A growing fire
Such an unfamiliar warming
Is drawing me inside
We're living in a lie

For a night
I will stay with you
Burning bright
Are the flames we've made
And the lies
To keep us from
The cold hard truth
You will always be alone

Within this garden
Faded memories come alive
I swore to pay no mind
What do you expect of me

I'm falling in love
Breaking every rule I made
To build this self-ensnaring purgatory
But dreams are only dreams

There's little left to say
Though for the first time in my life
I could feel the warm embrace
Of happiness

I can't go, no
I won't cave just to feel alive
You're only fooling yourself
In believing
A jaded lie
We were never meant for Eden

Come down, crawl
Let the music escape your mind, claw
At the face of deliverance, walk
But let me hold you one last time

We're living a lie
This side of paradise
Dreams are only dreams
Leave Eden behind
