1. Snow Falls Silent
2. Until They Die
3. Ascension
I watch the light die as I sharpen my sword/ Preparing for the battle to come/ Sunrise is here/ the valkyries near/ which of my brothers will fall/ The approaching threat just over the hills/ the battle will soon be commenced/ The fighting is fierce/ the blood flows like rain/ young men are falling to there deaths/ We battled for days/ and fought with much strength/ and I'm weary from the blows/ all weapons are worn/ all arrows dispensed/ the battle seemed to be at an end/ it seems as if my chest is on fire/ I'm wounded/ the pain is very strong/ I hear Odin's call from across the bridge/ I make my way to Valhalla
4. Return of the Warrior
My eyes shall then turn home/ to a land besieged by death/ forward did I dare to roam/ to fight whilst others waste there breath/ They've taken far to much from us/ we'll never bow to there demands/ let us take this fight unto there blackened gates/ and taste there blood upon our hands/ So forth we marched/ in metal gear/ to end there tyranny/ This day/ this fight/ the men that fall/ shall dwell in infamy/ We claimed our dues/ and left them dead and scattered in the halls, We come, we slew, and avenged our wrongs. The tyrant shall always fall. So we conquered, and we freed ourselves from the chains of blackened steel, they thought to bring us to our knees, but was us that made them kneel. so with treasure we returned home, to our wives, our sons, our kin, yet as we returned to our lands we filled with anger and chagrin. Our fields lie burnt, our families dead, nothing but ashes, flesh, and fire. Where our children grew now fell the snow within our nestled hive, as tears flowed forth and teeth did clench, swearing for our just revenge, we rode from these burnt plains, to seek and kill them to the last...
5. Tides of War
The tides of war have not been broken/ the battle rages on for day and endless night/ my only brother lies dead on my shoulder as I gather his severed limbs/ I kill good men with honor/ Valor is my name/ Great men with shining armor/ they seal my fate/ I kill good men with honor/ evil is my heart/ angels in shining armor/ Damn me to hell/ The clash of swords/ the cries of man/ are lost in a puddle of blood and sweat/ The battles cries and the darkened skies/ it seems that victory will be ours/ Stand fast with strength and honor and victory will be ours
6. A New Way to Die
There walks a man/ on a darkened path/ with no thought or threat/ only ill relax/ but what he doesn't know/ the reapers got his scent/ and when he finds him He'll drag him down to hell/ for darkness bleeds life/ so sings Charon's bell/ when gleaming light blinds/ and you're sick of chimes/ come to the resting grounds in the absence of light/ You can't run/ you Can't hide/ these things you've done are set in line/ You're the only one to blame for this wrenched life you've made/ So when Azrael calls your name/ make your way to judgment day/ and so he found your soul/ and dragged you to your grave/ and so when death calls/ don't run from him/ embrace his open arms and live in sin/ be who ye be and nothing else/ for there's no room in hell for liars/ And so the story ends/ where your soul rests depends/ but just remember that there's no running from the reaper
