1. ECHTRA

I welcome thee
My longed-for child
To Tiarda-Glas
The serpent spire

I reach for thee
From ages past
To make thee whole
And fill thy mind

To share my wisdom
Dark and light
To show thee yarns
Of cimbric times


2. SERPENTINE ORIGINS

Invaded at the dawn of time
The last ones of an ancient line
Sworn to protect the sacred spear
To flee their rivals, conquer fear

Pursued upon the mountainside
A roaring tempest veiled their path
By guiding gleam of the Glain Neidr
They fell towards their destiny

Primal stone of serpentine
Spear to sword and sword to life
Primal stone of serpentine
Waves of knowledge flood their minds

Primal stone of serpentine
Spear to sword and sword to mind
Primal stone of serpentine
Cursing them with endless life


3. ODE TO ARMA

Bound in immortality
I wish for you to be with me
Connected for eternity
You wish to roam the galaxy

You are my brightness and my pain
For now until infinity
Across light years of distance
You are life itself to me

But the farther you travel
The closer I hold you in my heart

You can always find me here
Waiting for your smile at me
Exploring spaces of the deeper mind
Longing for your inner light

You are the bright side of my soul
Connected for eternity
Craving to conquer the unknown
Bound in immortality

But the farther you travel
The closer I hold you in my heart

Bound in immortality
Connected for eternity


4. A DAY AND FOREVER

Am I alive, or is this a dream ?
What defines this reality ?
Time keeps passing by
People are born and people die

I face my fate in silent pain
Endure this curse
For a day and forever

Am I asleep, or is this real ?
What is this immortality ?
Is there a purpose to this endless life
Oh, how I long to age and die

Wayward daughter of eternity
Your son will end this tragedy
When darkness comes he'll be the key
Give meaning to your agony

I count the time that still remains
Embracing my new destiny
For a day and forever

For ever and a day


5. BLACK DAWN

(Instrumental)


6. AT NINE LIGHT NIGHT

Eternal, thought
Eternal time
Revere the stones
Come gather round

Revere the stones
Open your mind
Once the planets
Are all aligned

Revere the stones
Come gather round

Nine, the streams of space and time
Nine, the bounds of flesh and mind

Revere the stones
Come gather round
They'll take us home
On rays of light

Nine, the laws of fire and ice
At nine light night
Nine, the leaps of day and night
At nine light nine

A veil of darkness fills the sky
A veil of darkness in my mind

The time has come to say goodbye
The time has come, goodbye

Revere the stones
Come gather round
They'll bring us home
At nine light night

Nine, the spheres within the sphere
At nine light night
Nine, the stones that ride the beam
At nine light night


7. SNAKEHENGE

Shield of stones, lines of force

A snake is pierced, a spiral born
Arise brave people, join the cause
Fight for Urlàr, fight for life
Building towers, building mounds

Snakehenge, shield of stones
Snakehenge, lines of force

A snake is pierced, a spiral born
Arise my people, join the cause
Fight for Urlàr, fight for life
Building towers, building mounds

Shield of stones, lines of force


8. BIRTH AND DESPAIR

The dark between the stars
Enveloping her mind
The world obscures around her
Affecting space and time

A sacrifice is called for
A destiny fulfilled
Her light is slowly dying
Her ancient blood is spilt

She's struggling to survive
The old curse of the serpent
Could save her with new life

A source of change is coming close
The universe is torn
From painful loss and misery
A beautiful thing is born
Something beautiful can grow

The serpent sword is calling
New life will soon be born
To end all desperation
To send the shadows forth

What could have been
Is lost in forevermore
Her greatness yet remains
Her life is not in vain

The dark between the stars
Enveloping her mind
The world obscures around her
It's calling her to die

A source of change is coming close
The universe is torn
From painful loss and misery
A beautiful thing is born
Something beautiful can grow


9. ASSAULT ON URLAR

Behold, the sky is burning red
The tide of darkness comes
From deep withing the cosmic void
From far beyond the astral realms

Behold, the shield is fading
Black rain is falling down
I can hardly walk
I can hardly breathe
Standing here alone
Alone

Our age is at an end and now
Our day of doom has come
Our dreams are lost forever and trluly
Our souls are dead and gone

Behold, the ghastly creatures
They try to hunt me down
I can hardly walk
I can hardly breathe
But I'm not alone
Not alone


10. CAOINE CRUAC

You are the wanderer of the mind
Seeking wisdom in strange corners
Neither bound by space nor time

The day has come to face the dark
To wield your ancient serpent sword
To use the henge to breach our fate
Accept the bliss of death's embace

In the darkest heart of eternity
Your elder light will guide our souls
Converting creatures of dark energy
Into beings of a different sort

The day has come to face the dark
To wield your ancient serpent sword
To use the henge to breach our fate
Accept the bliss of death's embace

In the darkest heart of eternity
Your elder light will guide our souls
To the cimbric realm of infinity
Where our minds will dwell forevermore

Cruàc

In time your sacrifice will be forgotten
But the stones will remember your name
For all eternity

Through the darkest heart of eternity
Your flesh and blood remain forlorn
Lying in wait for his destiny
To protect our lives forevermore
