1. THE CALL OF WINTER

Winter‘s kiss, adamant cold, snow is falling on frozen soil
Howling gales carry the call of falling night
Knotted trees bow their heads, paying their last respects to the golden days – ephemeral
A withered moon draped in haze

The seer‘s words are spoken with fear:
Soon blood will be shed in the name of tyrants
Ruthless priests are leading the wolves,
With blackened hearts craving for blood

Crowned swayers of harrowin‘ blight
Kings of carnage full of delight
To slaugter the weak and pillage the lands
Death will come on silent wings (of frost)

Woeful times full of fright, imminence grows away from light
All the beauty, the empire‘s blaze, once so glorious – soon to fall
Humbly beseech fate to be mild, noone can came the raging wild
Call of winter, shades will unfurl – and death has soared, soared to stay

In the grip of the felon lords –
Preaching deepest scorn,
Spreading hate and spreading pain,
Sowing seeds of discord

Deadly embrace of blackened shades, the ground‘s drinking the blood of the killees
Brave heroes meet their death as martyrs – a death in vain

The worst now has come to the worst
Innocents are burned in the name of their god
Ruthless conquerors afflicting the lands,
Snakes scarfing all hope for peace


2. BEREAVEMENT

All light is leaving this place of ruin, silence prevails
Shadows unfold, desperate and woeful we‘re mourning the death of our beloved ones

And our eyes filled with tears and our hearts turned to stone
Though with our last ounce of strength we‘re fighting this bitter agony

Oh how I wished you could be by my side
To hold my hand, to comfort me when days turn grey
In my heart your fire will blaze now and forever

Funeral procession,
Our thoughts turn to those who died for us to live,
Who died for us to keep a gleam of hope for better days

Farewell my dear,
I‘ll walk you a little ways until I let you go
May you rest in peace

Far away from fear and dread of our dark days
A last kiss will bid you farewell forever

Emptiness takes its place and rules our minds, a grey wasteland
Eating us up, burning us out, we‘re dwelling in the dark of the light


3. RESISTANCE

We‘ve been bereaved of so many brave men
Our hearts cried, our souls suffered anguish of despair
Faced with ruin – Our last gasp of resistance

We slayed to live and held our ground in bloody crucibles
With iron will we pushed back the darkness closing in on us

Persistent resistance
We gave all we had – Never quit !

Better to light a candle than curse the darkness
So keep in mind these words
When black clouds start to veil the skies
Better to light a candle than curse the darkness
So keep in mind these words for all time

Snow is falling as white as a sheet
And veils dismay, and veils blood, tears and despair
Though we‘ll recall our last gasp of resistance
