1. INTO THE REALM

The past... is forged with each decision
The future... is unwritten
The final stand... the realm of my existence


2. THE SERPENT WITHIN

Standing tall on Ankrath's walls
An inward journey begins
There is clarity in solitude
My strength and spirit soars

Ancient wisdom
Born from deep within my bones
Marching on with sole defiance
Ever forward unto dawn...

Oh, how to shape our destiny
And choose for ill or good
Oh, how to end this tyranny
Without becoming a tyrant myself?

This life is but a spiral path
The serpent lurks inside
A road towards eternity
The future is the past

Standing at this dim threshold
An inward river flows
There is honesty in solitude
My strength and spirit calls

Ancient power
Born from deep within this sword
Marching on with sole defiance
Ever forward into war...

Oh, how to earn eternity
This torment to endure
Oh, how to face this evil horde
Without turning to evil myself?

This life is but a spiral path
The serpent lurks inside
A road towards eternity
The future is the past

Oh, how to deceive mortality
This sacrifice and doom
Oh, how to end this wrathful god
Without becoming godlike myself


3. THE HUNTER'S HORDE

The dark woods
In the dead of night
The hunter's horde is stalking

In the dark woods
In the dead of night
The hunter's horde is out for blood

Crawling, stumbling in the shadows
A fallen legion's last few men
Swallowed up by savage woods
Wading through the gates of hell

Dodging hails of silent arrows
Facing overwhelming odds
Chased by ruthless Pictish fiends
Striking at them from the dark

In the dark woods
In the dead of night
The hunter's horde is stalking...

In the dark woods
In the dead of night
The hunter's horde is out for blood!

Preying on the wounded soldiers
Picking victims one by one
Hunting them like frightened creatures
Answering the hunter's call

In the dark woods
In the dead of night
can you hear, the hunter's calling!

In the dark woods
In the dead of night
The hunter's calling out for blood!

Escape towards the coming dawn
To the great Darcanian wall
At the edge of the dark hell
Where redemption awaits us all

In the dark woods
In the dead of night
can you hear, the hunter's calling!

In the dark woods
In the dead of night
The hunter's calling out for blood!

Crawling, stumbling from the shadows
A fallen legion's last few men
Emerging from the wildwood
Returning from the gates of hell

Prey turns into predator
Only instinct drives them forth
Reborn more beast than man
They survived the hunter's call

In the dark woods
In the dead of night
In the dark woods
In the dead of night
In the dark woods
In the dead of night
In the dark woods
In the dead of night


4. CREEPING BLOOD

Creeping darkness
Born from severed skulls...
Ancient blood
Craving new flesh

Blue veins turning black...
A dark voice rising
Commanding from the void

Ancient blood
Craving new flesh


5. UNDAUNTED

Our father's sacrifice in vain
Our burning city lost in flames
Our funeral pyre lights the sky
Our blood must never, ever dry

Oh, can you hear the clashing swords?
The battle cries and horns of war?
The stench of death is in the air
Invading our ancestral lands...

No time to mourn our fallen kin
The slaughter of the innocents
And tough our clan may not remain
The blood of battle warms our veins

A war is raging in our home
No time to cry, no time to mourn
We'll honor our glorious past
We'll fight to the very, very last

Our father's sacrifice in vain
Our burning city lost in flames
Our funeral pyre lights the sky
Our blood must never, ever dry
Our father’s sacrifice in vain
Our burning city lost in flames
Our funeral pyre lights the sky
Our blood must never, ever dry

Our blood must never, ever dry

Oh, can you hear the clashing swords?
The battle cries and horns of war?
We'll guard our city and defend
Dauntless we will face this threat

Our sacrifice won't be in vain
It's better to die than live as slaves
And even though our end is nigh
We'll throw ourselves into the fight

No time to mourn our fallen kin
The slaughter of the innocents
Our broken hearts will never mend
But dauntless we will face our end

Our father's sacrifice in vain
Our burning city lost in flames
Our funeral pyre lights the sky
Our blood must never, ever dry
Our father’s sacrifice in vain
Our burning city lost in flames
Our funeral pyre lights the sky
Our blood must never, ever dry
Our father’s sacrifice in vain
Our burning city lost in flames
Our funeral pyre lights the sky
Our blood must never, ever dry
Our father’s sacrifice in vain
Our burning city lost in flames
Our funeral pyre lights the sky
Our blood must never, ever dry


6. LION OF DARCANIA

A lifetime spent in battle
Dedicated to his men
Commander of the royal guard
Each day could be his last

A good man shaped by warfare
Devoted to the realm
Commander of the Kaduzar
Each day he welcomes death

Lion of Darcania
Warrior with no match
Born to protect our emperor
Our people and our land

The lion of Darcania
A warrior with no match
The lion of Darcania
The hero known as Drackx

Defeated by the eastern horde
The empire has fallen
He failed to protect the realm
And still he welcomes death

Lion of Darcania
Warrior with no match
Determined to put an end to war
Avenger of the realm

The lion of Darcania
A warrior with no match
The lion of Darcania
The hero known as Drackx

(Warrior!)
(Darcania!)

That day he swore a solemn oath
A vow upon his bloodstained sword
To leave behind his pain and doubt
Command the guard one final time

Darcanian phalanx!
Shield and spear raised high!

That day he swore a solemn oath
A vow upon his bloodstained sword
To break the enemy’s battle lines
Defend the realm one final time
That day he swore a solemn oath
A vow upon his bloodstained sword
To break the enemy’s battle lines
Defend the realm one final time


7. PICTISH PRIDE

A dark force grows deep in the woods
Foreshadowing impending doom
Invaders from the eastern lands
We shall never bow to them

Our homesteads burn, we must unite
The Pictish drums resound
We paint our skin with battle-runes
To fight the dark force in the woods

One tribe, one mind
We stand and fight
We live or die
For Pictish pride
One tribe, one mind
We stand and fight
We live or die
For Pictish pride

Now a dark force rules the Pictish tribes
Too many of our kin have died
Invaders from the eastern lands
Dishonored we must bow to them

One tribe, one mind
We stand and fight
We live or die
For Pictish pride
One tribe, one mind
We stand and fight
We live or die
For Pictish pride

One tribe, one mind
Enslaved we fight
We live or die
For Pisces-Ra

One tribe, one mind
We sacrifice
For Pisces-Ra


8. ON ROADS TO RUIN

The final conflict is at hand
My way of life comes to an end
Embracing darkness to survive
Embrace the night to stay alive

Carried off...
Into slavery
No hopes, no dreams...
Just death and fear

Becoming darkness to survive
Become the wolf to stay alive
I'll live or die... in hate and pain...
In the end... only ruins will remain

On roads to ruin

The final conflict is at hand...
My way of life comes to an end
Embrace the night to stay alive
Embracing darkness to survive

Carried off...
Into slavery
No hopes, no dreams...
Just death and fear

Become the wolf to stay alive
Becoming darkness to survive
I'll live or die... in hate and pain
In the end... only ruins will remain

I'll live or die in vain...
Only ruins remain


9. DARK REVELATIONS

Ripped of all my former strength
A pictish axe has left me maimed
No longer can I weld my blade
The pen will be my new domain

Recording for the ages
Catch the spirit of the past
Inspiring future heroes
And make our ancient legends last...

Our legacy should ever last...

Dark revelation
A vision unsurpassed
Should I stop writing now
Or start another text?

Recording for the ages
Catch the spirit of the past
Inspiring future heroes
And make our ancient legends last...

The serpent tower's rising
The skies are set aflame
A massive threat is coming...
Burn the books, let none remain

Destroy the secrets kept within
Feed them to the starving flames...
Burn them all, you must obey
Destroy the past, do as I say...

Burn the books, erase his name
The serpent god will rise one day

Recording for the ages
Catch the spirit of the past
Inspiring future heroes
And make our ancient legends last

Dark revelation
A vision unsurpassed
Should I stop writing now
Or start another text?

I'll burn the books, I will obey
I'll burn the books, erase his name
Our hopes and dreams forever lost
I'll burn the spirits of the past...


10. BRAVING THE END

My end began
Now seven years ago
You left me for the eastern war
Why did you have to go?

Time is moving ever forward
I can't imagine where you've been
Past is forged with each decision
I can't conceive the things you've seen

All those nights spent wondering
Would I see you once again?
All those days of longing
To be with you again

My end began
Now seven years ago
You left me for the eastern war
Will you ever see your son?

My love, we finally meet again
But how to make you understand
That whatever my decisions
I will lose you in the end

You're not how I remember
No emotions in your stare
Light has vanished from your eyes
It's like I am not even there

However short our time together
I will enjoy it and belong
I want to live life to the fullest
For I've waited much too long

My mind keeps dwelling on the future
Oh how to make you comprehend
That whatever my decisions
I always lose you in the end

No matter all the things we went through
No matter how hard that it’s been
No matter all the things that we’ve lost
We’ll make it worth it in the end
No matter all the things we went through
No matter how hard that it’s been
No matter all the things that we’ve lost
We’ll make it worth it in the end

I will keep looking for the answer
I will try and try again
There must be another way
Even if time and space must end...

No matter all the things we went through
No matter how hard that it’s been
No matter all the things that we’ve lost
We’ll make it worth it in the end
No matter all the things we went through
No matter how hard that it’s been
No matter all the things that we’ve lost
We’ll make it worth it in the end

Even if time and space must end
I'll be forever by your side
Life has no meaning without death
My love
Everyone must die...


11. ON AGAINST THE TIDE

Defending the realm against the hordes
Born from tales and ancient lore
Defying the tide with pitch black blade
Out of the mists a brave one came

By his command our soldiers charged
Hurling themselves at the enemy’s heart
Across the sacred moors they flowed
Taking the shape of the trident of old
(Taking the shape of the trident of old)

Leading his men into the maws of death
He himself was head of the attack
Behind him, the living trident roared
Born from tales and ancient lore

Born from tales and ancient lore

Born from tales and ancient lore
(And ancient lore, and ancient lore)

Defending the realm against the hordes
Born from tales and ancient lore
Defying the tide with pitch black blade
Out of the mists a brave one came

No dread left of maiming his own men
When the last of the cimbric soldiers fell
No reason to hold back the boiling rage
Leaving battered bodies in his wake

Wielding his blackened serpent sword
Radiating a sacred force
Mowing down waves of savage picts
Burning green fire from within
(Burning green fire from within)

Burning green fire from within
(Fire from within, fire from within)

Defending the realm against the hordes
Born from tales and ancient lore
Defying the tide with pitch black blade
Out of the mists a brave one came

Bearing the serpent mark of old
Out of the war a legend rose
Ending the hordes with a final blow
Into the mists the brave one strode

One strong rock to break the tide
Committing the ultimate sacrifice
Only his shattered helm remains
We pray for his return one day


12. CIMBRIC REQUIEM

(Instrumental)


13. REMEMBRANCE

As we march into the second age
Now that the fields are silent
Remember who they were...

Remember their sacrifice
For their deeds mean nothing
When no one remembers them...

Or when there's no one left

I am the chronographer...

I am the chronographer...
