1. The Iceman Cometh
Rise!
I walk through the valley of frozen ice
I see the sun rise on this bitter day
The cold I fear has made its frigid stance
No warmth to touch me from the crimson sky
Sky... Crimson sky... Frost
From the north I run and try to hide
The Iceman cometh to frost and freezing sun
Across cold plains a desert of frozen ice
I stand along the tundra for this is my home
Home... My home
Freezing pillars of anguish
Strike at my very my very soul
2. Reach The Summit
As I dawn the gear
Suited for a climb
Howling wind I hear
Climb for all mankind
Ropes are tethered tight
To this wall of stone
Man of steely might
Clash of rock and bone
I have got to climb
To reach the summit
The hawk and eagle scream
In my eyes the sun
Has shone to bright
Hands grab at the face
Muscles tighten quick,
Heart and rock embrace
Challenge pilled thick
I have got to climb
To reach the summit
The hawk and eagle scream
In my eyes the sun has shone to bright
I peer to the top
Facades giant span
Just what have I done
I am one solitary man
3. Ice Burial
Frozen in ice for centuries of time
My age has an eon sublime
A force of nature a cryogenic cesstation
Age of ice gone my resurrection
Alive I am alive
Blood now coarsing is warming my veins
Thoughts are swirling images in my brain
Life anew my old ways are lost
Covered by snow and clensed by frost
I am free of the ice
Mission is clear, understanding complete
Emerge from my coffin and struggle to my feet
I lay where I fell in battle struck twice
A warrior's funeral, a burial in ice
4. Reaper (HELLHAMMER cover)
When night's over the land,
A mural in darkness stands,
Evoke the Reaper's addiction,
Remember his symbol: a scyte...
That girl...she hears the rover,
She feels the coldness of a grave,
She's lookin' in her mirror,
And sees the face of ... DEATH
He takes her to the shadows,
On gleaming wings they ride,
Mournerer is his victim,
As Reaper inherits his price
5. The Land Beyond Dreams
6. The Conquest of The Undead King
Aeons of tyranny and empires corrupt
An advent of freedom despotism crushed
Away with the insolent rulers
Empower the people's king
It is he who shall lead them through
Chaos and inanity
The conquest of the undead king ( X 2 )
Commander of the blood crusades
The ravenous escapades
Throne of and aggressor survived
By vagary and imposition
Heroes transform into foes
Icons vanquished in the throes
Civilizations, sanctities undone
Abolish only to become
Metal?
7. Into The Psyche Delve
Ever dark are the shadows
Which bear no name
The dead who have never died
Are those which never lived
Ever grey are the visions
To see the unseen
Naturalicals breech my perception
Blinded by abysmal gloom
Exposed in vile rhetoric
A voyeur to myself
Reprieved but not forgiven
Into the psyche delve
In a helix of regret
Vortex of violent tides
Revel in fate's caress
A nomad motionless
Mountain of imperfection
The fool seldom scales
Distraction is an ally
In the plights of cerebral doom
Follow the dreamless meridian
Backwashed to shores of reality
(To) regress to the nowhere
Seek refuge in the banal
Ever clear are (the) memories
Extract the lucid cores
Remaining light shines upon me
I've known this flame before
8. Planet Six
