1. Untold
2. Barren Land
3. Faith Or Fear
4. Hallowed Ground
1. Untold
Untold
You stood in the doorway, golden tear smiled
Said come feel the evening, a frozen tear sighed
The fog is so dense here, with crystals of snow
In circles we danced here, where withered winds blow...
The lake is a crystal, became so last night
Those eyes in the window, became the first rite
The wind lifts her wings then, so softly enfold
Said moonlit and melting, the Plains of Untold
Chorus
At the Past Feast wanderings marked with blood tears,
shaped my soul's being for a thousand years
and the scars of a thousand spears
Out in the distance a raven calls
Cry wolf for deliverance from these unearthly games
It always stays the same...
Step into the dark now, the unknown terrain
You look for the spark here, to ease all the pain
And flowing adrift on the evening tide
Unconsciously swift on wavecrests ride
And crossing the river, pay the ferryman
A fire for winter as we wait for the dawn
The wind lifts her wings then, so softly enfold
Said moonlit and melting, the Plains of Untold...
Repeat Chorus
We live in danger... Lonely survivors and turning over... Return to stone
2. Barren Land
Barren Land
Oh Barren the landscape which is not mine
Where do you come from, your sand is so fine
But course it can be, oh the rocks and the sea
Now closer to the barren of the stone which is me
But cold is the sea wind, can blow, makes me freeze
And hot then the wind from the East,
comes in threesf ly the gulls on the beach
at the dawn of the nightwindt hat tickles my hair
and the sun sets on fright barren land,
BARREN LAND
Chorus
And the faces grim at the bridge of death
and the ferryman smiles in the dark
and the father of the slain takes the hero's pain
but the bridge of death stands stark.
And the darkness' grimace on he battlefield
where the leader of the Wildhunt calls and awaiting his fall,
dead heroes tall all hail to the bridge of death... all hail till we fall!
Now say that you love me or I'll cut your throat
But if you do, please pray for my heart and your soul
in my hands lie the dreams that are lost
as the sea is the kingdom that's yours and mine eternally
The sea is on fire is the light in your eyes
the dawn of this darkness that puts me on highs
the deaths of our past lying bare on the ground
screams the echoes of war in the distance of sound! barren land,
BARREN LAND
Repeat Chorus
Fire to the wasteland and the signs of your war
All hail to the flames in your hell
Liars, full of evil and justice for all
you wasted your breath, now you die!
Repeat Chorus
3. Faith Or Fear
4. Hallowed Ground
Hallowed Ground
Coldness fills the hallowed ground now
Shivering feeling lonely
Mist fades night into grey vastness
Waiting in your silent sadness
I feel your presence coming closer
Walking weeping angels
Treading slow in hallowed ground
No teardrop spilt while tolling churchbells
Step by step and closing in now
Silhouettes in deepest mourning
Side-by-side in grey-white paleness
Moving in their silent sadness
I walk up to them, see their eyes
They're cold and staring into nothing
Woeful trancelike ashened faces
Tells the tale of weeping angels
