Haunted Gods : Myths & Tales
Lyrics
1. SNAELAND
Lost far away in the sea of worms
Lies the place of which Gardar spoke
Naddodd called it the land of snow
And now it will become our home
Hjorleif first went to Vesternnlands
Seeking a raid to fund the trek
Ingolf chose to honour the gods
While we awaited to sail on
When Ingolf was in sight of shore
He threw the pillars of his throne
Wherever they wash ashore
We'll rise our turf
We sailed through the waves
To reach those distant shores
Maybe one day
Someone will sing what we've done
Through the ice and snow
And fire from below
We'll make our way
And Snæland'll be our home
They parted ways and the winter passed
Then came the spring with a smell of blood
Slaves were tired of wearing the yoke
And killed the ones who raided their homes
This I see befall everyman
Who won't sacrifice to the gods
Blood's the price
For the pride of a fool
Who knows if I shall even find
Wooden pillars on the shore
Of this land
That I now call my home
Three years have now flown away
As if taken by the wind
And the breaking waves on the bay
There where we see the smoke arise
From the fountains on the ground
Lies the proof we've long been waiting for
We sailed through the waves
To reach those distant shores
Maybe one day
Someone will sing what we've done
Through the ice and snow
And fire from below
We'll make our way
And Snæland'll be our home
We sailed through the waves
To reach those distant shores
Maybe one day
Someone will sing what we've done
Through the ice and snow
And fire from below
We'll make our way
And Snæland'll be our home
2. ORPHEUS
My soul is wrought
To sing of forms transformed
To bodies new and strange!
Immortal gods inspire my heart
Oh lead my song
In smooth and measured strains
From olden days when earth began
To this completed time!
Not even god Apollo could ever play
The three muses as once did Orpheus
For the bite of a snake he wrote his masterpiece
For his love he now lies on his grief
Nété, Mesé and Hypaté woke him up
From your slumber
Down to the underworld
Chords will light the path and tame the beast
Lord of the dead will hear you
Go! Fool! Go!
She's following my harp!
Play! Fool! Play!
I'm not turning back
She! Will! Stay!
We will rejoice together!
I! Know! Truth!
Come and hold my hand!
The bloodless ghosts were in tears
Sisyphus sat on his rock for the first time in years
Tantalus was permitted a couple of beers
Eurydice couldn’t believe her ears
And she had to walk that gruesome path
While asking him to show his face
And he unsparingly played at his pace
Until he looked back
Go! Fool! Go!
She's following my harp!
Play! Fool! Play!
I'm not turning back
She! Will! Stay!
We will rejoice together!
I! Know! Truth!
Come and hold my hand!
Just one chance to reach the Hades
Riding on the winds of music
To ask for the poisoned lives
And never look behind
Come to me you mystic fairies
Come and eat this melody's flesh and bones
Come and give me on this night
The last chance to reach my love
3. HASTINGS
Blazing eyes of the bastard
Looking through the seas
Waiting for the right time to strike
Over the enemy's country
To claim his right to the throne
Normans march
To reach the Saxons' land
Almighty calls
The fate of the kings
When the armies
Clash in the fields
Death in the ground
Blood on our hands
Through the hasting camps
We march
Banners of god he raised
As the cavalry charge
Shinny blades
He stained with dreadful red
The end of the Saxons had come
New times arise
The conqueror
'till doomsday he will reign
Almighty calls
The fate of the kings
When the armies
Clash in the fields
Death in the ground
Blood on our hands
Through the hasting camps
We march
Almighty calls
The fate of the kings
When the armies
Clash in the fields
Death in the ground
Blood on our hands
Through the hasting camps
We march
Almighty calls
The fate of the kings
When the armies
Clash in the fields
Death in the ground
Blood on our hands
Through the hasting camps
We march
4. TOWER OF THE RISING SUN
Dreams and visions knowledge and wisdom
Far beyond our hopes
Arcane magic, mystical powers
Hidden for us all
Withhold forever in a distant tower
Long ago lost in tales
I began my journey so long time ago
Still have not found what I'm looking for
Day after day I try to go on
Night after night I dream with my final goal
I won't give up no matter what they say
I trust the tales and will get there some day
To the mystical place
Where no one has been before
Going through the seas of fire
And the neverending ice
It is my fate I know in my heart
That one day I will find the tower of the rising sun
So many years now I can see the light
A gleaming tower in the distant lands
The moonlight shines over the starlit sky
And my heart feels tired as I reach the mighty walls
But I must face my last travel's trial
The guardian's ordeal and at last open the gates
To the mystical place
Where no one has been before
Going through the seas of fire
And the neverending ice
It is my fate I know in my heart
That one day I will find the tower of the rising sun
To the mystical place
Where no one has been before
Going through the seas of fire
And the neverending ice
It is my fate I know in my heart
That one day I will find the tower of the rising sun
Open the gates of the tower of the rising sun
