1. Cold Grim Times
Cold Grim Times
Lyrics by: Albanack
Thy chapel burns with such a blaze that ignites time
Thou hast seen a flaming paradise
Stone circles praise the ground in which they do reside
A deadly storm shall brood as we shall finally reclaim our birthright
Through the mist and the woods of the world we'll come baring our sacred flag
Our mighty blades shall rid our land all those who shall betray us
Our claim is to slay all those who stand in oppose of our name
The gods of war are calling us to take up arms
I shalt not fear the coming foes across the plains
With thine sword thou shalt meet thy fate
2000 years of slaughter
My kin slain
Beating hearts of vengence
Bitter eves of winter
Cover your world in frost
We are the chosen ones, our fight has just begun
It stands for all to see, in cold grim times it be
Our claim is to slay all those that stand in our way
The gods of war are calling us to take up arms
2. Set in a Twilight Tragedy
Set In A Twilight Tragedy
Lyrics by: Albanack
The sky bearing secrets of celestial minds
Laid forth upon the hands of a bitter beast
Raped of his dignity and fed by insanity
Tortured by the voices that spoke such catastrophe
Now his blade is drawn in vain
The jester has become the heathen tonight
The beast becomes man and the prey is the whore
The tower of decadence resides in her womb
The life that once was in hate was consumed
My hatreds as deep as the ocean
For the sorrow in thine eyes
You, wench shall be the gift to the blood gods of the depths on darkness
Draped in a veil made of betrayal with a gown soaked with the tears of sorrow met with the clouds that come raining down acid tears fall on this plane
The mother has died the children left naked dancing around in praise of the dark thee eyes find thy bedlam creatures
The gods stolen gifts unknown
We sit atop a throne of bone
Hiding, waiting for thy kings slowly conceiving behind a jester’s mask
The eclipse has come, the sky fallen, it is done, the rites of chaos evoked
A spear thrown through the heart of the sun
Deadset lovers swallow their tongues
See our homeland now, just a faceless discreet shroud
Candelabras litten on the blood soaked beaches
Two lovers kiss for the last time
Over come with the tears in their eyes
Thy mourning star has fallen from thy sky
Ill share eternity with thee
To the gates of the blackened abyss
Never shall fall till I taste thy kiss
We have fallen to the deceit of kings and queens and martyrs of disease
Stretched out on the barren wasteland fed by the rotting of the askasha of man
If you perish before mine eyes I will see to it that our love not die
Your heart will be inside be devoured and desired in my pit of decomposition
3. Lord of the Nights Eclipse
Lord of the Nights Eclipse
Lyrics by: Albanack
Our silence slept in a barren tomb on desolate rock in moonlights view
Inside what broods would soon consume the light of day through blackened fumes
Vultures ripped from their mother’s wombs fly high above the lunar lights to the endless sea of night
He was a misunderstood soul with a grin that grew so cold his icy eyes would freeze the world below
And through his spiteful tongue a bitter man so young he'd see to it that return to whence they came from
Broadsword in his hand across the pits of sand to the kingdom of the sun he would destroy there promised land
With leather binding armour and across the putrid desert lands he walked without a fear in thought and blood stained blades in hand
For the glory of his will and the essence of his hate for his time is now and time for them is too late
I am the lord of night side castles etched in the stone you will find my family’s rites dusks loving hands will impend my might
4. For Honour and Empire
For Honour and Empire
Lyrics by: Albanack
The carrion crow flies above the battlefield
Shrieking overhead she views the wrath below
Severed heads her prize gifts from those who fought and died
Raise your swords to the Morrigan for she has come to claim our souls
Battle in flames across the highlands of which blood is stained
Our people fight with sword and shield against all those who bare their seal
Tell my love I will fade away into the land of the dead
And our phantom queen shall feed upon all of our fallen heads
As I fall upon the field I shall die with honour
My kin shall avenge my death and suffering
Pagan blood spilled for the last time upon the soil
Our mighty empire arise! the day is ours
The carrion crows flies above the battlefield
Raise your swords to the Morrigan for she has come to claim our souls
And I will not perish into the burning flames of war
I will fight till the death along side my brothers in arms
The enemy shall see the godly strength that burns inside of me
Heads loped from their shoulders I spit on the faith that they believe
I have risen from my grave in bloodlust I shall avenge
Your world be damned the sword is just and in such strength burns in hand
For honour and empire I shed my blood for thee
We slay the weak and claim all that the eye can see
My blade has forged the rule of kings
It has shaped the course of time
For honour and empire I shall give my blood to thee
Army made of my blade, blood is now my chosen decree
Upon the battlefield I shall avenge the years of torment
I fight with the fury of endless years of oppression
I saver victory with Christian heads upon our pikes
Burn us no longer now you feel the fire you once ignite
Raise your swords in victory now our day has come at last
The pagan age shall live forever more in our conquest
The blood oath we have taken binds us as one empire
Our swords are drawn to ensure that our great age shall last
A mystic fire has returned upon our shores the flame shall burn forevermore
The pandaemonaeon shall save the world from its self and will bring a new age that shall cleanse
5. Sparrows Song
Sparrows Song
Lyrics by: Albanack
As the magus enters the temple
The earth shall stand in awe
Fear struck in the spine of zealots
Messiahs born of pariahs
I come from the den of the damned
To signal the dogs of war
I concealed mystic powers to the hand that once would fuel the beasts of blood
Treacheries knights trained in the arts of death wreak havoc from above
The cretins shall bow before me
I have achieved godhead
My staffs is raised in anguish
My world of life and death
I come from an age long past
From atop mountains high
None would foresee a day like today, as the sparrows would sing the echoes of rain
All that was lost will die just the same like flowers that bloom just to perish away
Blood clots will block the eyes of the doomed my only wish is to confide in you
Give me one day and ill give you my life all that I had gone in one dark single night
Save away in the cover of night
I stride in the shadows for when time is right
Lurking beyond the mirrors of time
I am a new god and your world is all mine
I have been birthed of sorrow
This will be my final stand
I have toiled endlessly for
A chance to live glory on the fields of blood
Across the seas of time and death ill wait upon my final breathe
The final outcome left to the mouth of the river dyed red in my blood
I will not die, no not like this for all that I had I shall greatly miss
To see your face is to just see pain like the sparrows that sing the echoes of rain
A warrior’s tale I shall fade into dirt, and in death I shall find some sort of worth
A hero is born just fade into earth like the flowers that bloom just to perish away
Do not shed tears my love
In death I am with you
A hero from a coward
I live as flowers bloom
I hold in great fame in tir na nog
All of my enemies pay with their lives
Their Christian god expelled from our shores
Our flag shall rise forevermore
6. Vengeance is My Vice
Vengeance Is My Vice
Lyrics by: Albanack
Dusk has fallen upon the icy plains
Feral fiends now ride the winds of hate
The silent stares of feral rage
Born into your contempt
I can see the burning of my heart
The sign that hold no shame
A flickering light on a winter’s night
I lay waste to my foggy keep
I feed the wounds
Strained my heart
My soul is left
Torn apart
Madness blooms
From the past
Birth of future not to last
Rape the dreams
That you have
Lose them all on my command!
I was born on the shores of misery
I will rise
Vengeance is my vice
We were men of grandeur
Taken by the forces so foul
Made as bitter poets
Upon the stage of dismay
I feed the wounds
Strained my heart
My soul is left
Torn apart
Madness blooms
From the past
Birth of future not to last
Rape the dreams
That you have
Lose them all on my command!
I was born on the shores of misery
I will rise
Vengeance is my vice
We were men of grandeur
Taken by the forces so foul
Made as bitter poets
Upon the stage of dismay
As I stand before an altar of dreams
A view the light as the sun hits the sea
Crimson sky blood red like my hate
Visions surrounds what's been made of my fate
Burning eyes that can kill with a gaze
Waiting in treeline, a summer's haze
I remember parts of what was
This is the path I have chosen because
I was born on the shores of misery
I will rise
Vengeance is my vice
I lay awake
In days of dread
I see your face
My one regret
But as you sleep
In lover’s bed
I shall be near
In discontent
We were men of grandeur
Taken by the forces so foul
Made as bitter poets
Upon the stage of dismay
7. Winter is Coming
Winter Is Coming...
Lyrics by: Albanack
I am the pagan son,
Hammer of holy ones
I am crowned lord of winter
By nature’s will
Martyr of life and death,
voice of the woods,
I ride the winds of time..
I sound the tunes of war
All that was once was held in my heart was now face down in the snow,
The winds of winter are my guide my strength and my soul
I am the fate of man, the spirit of the dead...
I write my name in fear, the word of power
I bring the astral war, i build my legacy
The tears of love once lost, beneath the state of hate
I lay awake as the wolves will sing the songs of melancholy
As cold as the air we breathe my blood runs black and stains my soul
We march across the frozen tundra
To a place where sorrows lay
Memories of fallen foes lay beneath our feet
Winter winds embrace our fate
Which we hold in gratitude
All the stars will be aligned
As we venture out this night
We shall find a way to rip their hearts and make them pay
All that was shall be
On the stage of tragedy
Blackened steel will rule the day through the cold snow
Tales of epic victories
Will strip my frozen world of shame
Cold is the wind..... colder my heart'
I..an end to your forbidden prophecy
Blood stains the ground below
...An end to your forbidden prophecy
Blood stains the ground below
Shadows of the past.. rise in flame, your iron throne
Since left, rule your kingdom,
High above the blood red sky
Winter is coming... your time.. has passed
Invitations celebrate our pride
...I have seen the face of agony
As cold as the frost that burns within me
Upon the spoils
I am the snow
Calling on your life, i strike you in the heart
I will not let your suffer, life such as me
Put you out of your agony
As the first snow fall, blood shall never see its day
Our knights shall live forever more in this frozen domain
