1. Flee The Hammer
So, this is the end
And if this is to go on
No end in sight for our war
When the Sun finally sets
Is it only to rise again?
Objectives are no longer clear
Grey faces, my only allies
Can this continue for long?
We've forgotten who we are
The fire is out.
No one can remember the Older ways
That we fought so hard to achieve
With time, they say, the heart grows fonder
But we are those who know no such things
Of all the blood spilled in our name
Too much was our own
And we can't continue this way
Old friends bear enemy sheilds
And the young; too unfocused to learn
With each passing day
Our ways are buried more into the cold earth
And now the promise is the prevaricate
We've been betrayed by ourselves
The fragmentation complete
We are nothing anymore
We watch and wait for it to ford
We live in the night, now forever
The end is so near, I can taste it
The Hammer is falling, the weak will run back to their lives
It is too late for me
My brothers have fled
Death, my vital force
I wait to be enshrined alone.
2. The Day The Waves Died
Awaiting reprecussions, perched on my hill
Knowing, I watch the waves of the restless sea
As I stormed down the path you left
Allowing no time to run
My shadow overlook your lives
And the sea was finally clamed
But now the horror returns, calling for afar, now closer
And as the wail leaves my throat, the sea is violent once more
Again! ...and Again! ...and Again!
The day the waves died, and the waters were calm
Not so long ago it was; my revenge
My refuge was safe, my fields were free
The day the waves died: so shall it return
He who gives up his principle, is no longer a man
He who steals one's thunder is even less
And you're both!
Atop the mountain
Your screams were heard by the other
Me
The echoing cries
Remain today
In that valley not far away
You've returned, a force to reckon?
I see you coming
Reaching down, to the innermost depth of my mind
To forgive is a weakness I know not
To forget is weakness incarnate
The pride surrounds me
Like a shield it gives me frontal protection
And my flanks are also safe because
My words turn into swords that cut you down
As I storm down the path you leave
Allowing no time to hide
Atop the great mountain
New screams are heard to entertain
Today the waves died, and the water are calm
Perched on my hill, watching the sea
Again they will rise and confront me.
And again their demise will be unnoticed.
