1. DISCIPLE OF THE SERPENT STAR

We are the holy ones
Gathering in silent grove
Willing blood sacrifice
Written in the stone
Subterranean hall
Shining badge upon each breast
Imbued with ancient magic
Engraved upon the flesh

Enchanted
Bewitched beneath the stars

Set forth in flame
Summoned for the Crystal Cave
Preceded by my fame
Enemy of the grave

Disciple of the Serpent Star
Holy revealer of the Secret God

The sleeping lords will writhe
Upon the pillars of the moon
A barrow opened to the sky
Behold the herald of the light

Brand of destiny
Mastery of martial craft
Metallurgic supremacy
Imbued with runes to light the path
Nocturnal prowl
Sunder tombs by lunar light
Clad in cape and cowl
I am the enemy of the night

Mark my silhouette
Fear me like the day
Horn blaring in the dark
Enemy of the grave

Disciple of the Serpent Star
Holy revealer of the Secret God


2. VERNAL WOMB

Black velvet sorcery
Clandestine carnal rites
The daughters of heaven
Thralls to the lord of the ice

Unleash thy lusting might
Cast from the whispering black
Unsheathe a blade so cold
In the midst of a midnight attack

Coronation of winter
Ravens will blot out the stars
Monarch of the Night Hall
Hail to the King in the Dark

Candlebright
Sun survives in blood

A soul will cross the surging tempest
Tame the portal serpent
Worm lord of the endless

Three fallen children of the fair
The orphan, the vile, the despaired
The half-soul of Nachten devoured
The season will fail, this is the hour
Silver bound in umbral hair
A ring, a rod, a burden to bear

The Old Blood weeps from every pore
Enigma
Evermore

Unleash thy lusting might
Cast from the whispering black
Unsheathe a blade so cold
In the midst of a midnight attack

Coronation of winter
Ravens will blot out the stars
Monarch of the Night Hall
Hail to the King in the Dark


3. TWO WOLVES

The Hunters
The twisting waft of prophecy
A malediction uttered through
The hollows in the hills

A gift of solar lineage
They descend like falling light
Two bolts collide upon a mortal plane
Two hunters pace beyond the astral gate

The soil itself will sing their name
The song of souls, memory risen in stone
A monument to primal grace

The shaded fortress
Unearthly glow
Laughing like the dead
Blood is spilled upon the throne
Forgotten hymn
Incantation writ of old
Son of fairy father comes
Blackened in the cold

The Hunted
The cruel hand of prophecy
Three hundred pyres
Risen in the ruin under snow

Raven remains
Grief beyond his years
To die a slave
Baptised in ash and tears


4. SPIRIT BRAID

In the golden waste
There stands a standing stone
The edge of peril
Where blood and steel meet bone

Bound by bonds that never break
Colour stripped away
A soul I give, a soul I take
Tribunal spirit braid

In the Valley of the Teeth
Ancient magic within my reach

Progeny of sorrow
A wind will sing thy dirge
Upon the barrow hill
A snake will mark thy word

I am the third
The son of lurking doom
Pale vision of dormant revenge
My heart becomes a tomb

Where the silver roses bloom
A sword of eldritch light
Encased within the weeping moon
I am the master of the creeping blight

Witness thy undoing
Peeled back before the tide
Bound by bonds that never break
Heaven and Earth collide


5. BENIGHTED BLADE

Emberal procession
The veil of heaven is torn
Where the whispering flame is born
A knife made undying
Thirsts for the blood of the Earth
A perilous edge
Drinker of the souls of men

Across a darkened outland
Wretched baron of shade
Bearing the lamp
That lights the hidden path
Keeper of benighted blade

Timeless wanderer
Under the watching shadow of ancient trees
At the mouth of labyrinth
He bides upon a bended knee

Temple at eventide
Shrouded in the fog
Gloaming dialogue exchange
Long dead man and shifting god

Lifted up in a cloak of stars
Unhooded, light is borne in darkness
Reveal tempered lunar steel
A sword to eat the sun

Emberal procession
The veil of heaven is torn
Where the whispering flame is born
A knife made undying
Thirsts for the blood of the Earth
A perilous edge
Drinker of the souls of men

Relentless tide of undeath
Power ripples through the depths
Pathways move of their own accord
In their wake, undying breath

Elusive paradise
Domain of the black sultan
A sword with a soul
The key to the final gate


6. MIDNIGHT SUN

I wander in the mists of memory
Unseen in faded light
Vibrations in the marrow
Summoned by the ghosts
Forgotten in my blood

I feel cold and disparate
Dragged into wasteland
By the marching of the sun
The fuel of legend boils deep within my soul
Ignite the fire within a living host

I fear what my soul has become
A shallow vessel, malcontent
I am the coldest steel
Shapeless and darkling
Laid down upon the heath
Reforged beneath the midnight sun

I am an ageless face
Passed from blood to blood
And when I touch the Earth
I find that she and I are one

I feel cold and disparate
Dragged into wasteland
By the marching of the sun
The fuel of legend boils deep within my soul
Ignite the fire within a living host

No rift of time will sever roots
Untouched by creeping ice
No apathy
Behind my eyes the past is alive


7. DANCING IN THE ASHES

Pale light
The sorrow will linger through the night
Throne of may
Shadow cast upon the brae

I'll sing an old song, a song I once knew
I'll dance in the ashes, the ashes of you
And while I shan't linger this song will live on
I'll dance in the ashes witherupon

Another passage of grief
While roses bloom behind the sun
Doomed to roam upon this wretched sphere
The midnight stream
Would make a fitting grave

Stellar pilgrimage
Abyssal arc of stars
In search of an ancient dawn

Across sidereal planes
Appeal to wandering lords
Perilous starless divide
Breaker of saturnine wards

The gods dissolve within their tombs
Underneath a frozen sky
Where none knew that they could die

Eternal deicide


8. LORD OF CHAINS

Titanic son of the abyss
You set in place the spheres
Builder of the halls of celestial kings
Paladin, cursed to reign in tears

Upon a slab high in the heavens
A great chain upon thy brow
Victim of darkest betrayal
Weight of the world shall be thy crown

Bonds for every mighty limb
Reach out into the depths of space
Your reward for strength
Everlasting slave

Anchor of the ordered world
A day will come
When the chains shall break

Fall into obscurity
The night will swallow
Stars will wander aimlessly
Names forgotten

Final breath of god


9. IRON WOMAN

A titan's grip upon her cruel blade ’Urfang'
Blood runs hot across the frozen waste
Annihilation comes to those who stray
Under the shadow of her irous gaze

Upon the mountain peak
She walks with fire and shadow
Her eyes spanning the valley below
Passing over the hosts
Of destroyers and usurpers
They would soon beg for mercy
But no mercy was forthcoming

Her raven hair caught in the northern wind
She is the daughter of wolves
The wending paths are her domain
Iron woman, warrior queen

Her sword will rain down from the sky
With fury envied by the gods
Snow and ice painted red
Her soul, a blinding glow
No fiend or foe, no enemy
Will last the day
Warrior queen

Iron woman
Empires will fall at your behest
Raise up your sword towards the sky
Triumphant blaze
Silver sun
Blood on the ice
Victorious one

A titan's grip upon her cruel blade ’Urfang'
Piling the dead into their frozen graves
She is the daughter of the northern waste
She is the daughter
The daughter of wolves

The valley becomes an anvil
She descends the mountain
A tide of death, the hammer of wrath itself
Her blade sweeps over the ranks of the doomed
Like the setting sun
And benighted sky becomes their tomb

Her sword will rain down from the sky
With fury envied by the gods
The snow painted with their blood
Triumphant blazing soul
Victory won


10. ALONE BEFORE THE DOORS OF THE SILENT HOUSE

I am the spirit of the old ones
A voice that bellows with peerless vigour
I am the fire of the past
Of life that's slipping from my grasp

I crawl to the roots of timeless wisdom
To lay enveloped in the earth
To hear the farthest whispers
The fading heartbeat of the world

To the meadow and the trees
Finding companionship in fallen leaves
I wander there now endlessly
From set to sunrise, the sky becomes a doorway
To the spinning cosmos, I will step between the stars

Of waking land and sleep
I find myself now in between

O, twilight glade
Fading rays of summer’s day
I wander here again
Only in my dreams
The scent of sunlight
Carried through the sleeping boughs
Bittersweet memory
I wake before a silent house

In memory of silent May
I wander in a dream

I walk the river path
Take flight upon the raven's wings
Now boundless soul will dance in
Heaven that dwells within
