I. The Dark Slumber
Beneath the murky soil
the draw of the ancient spell.
Swallowing everything in the ground
and then there was no sound.
Twisting the roots of life,
distorting the obscure shapes.
The day was creeping into night
and then there was no light.
The mist was rolling
from the mountains,
creatures were crawling
under the ground.
The darkness fell from the sky
and then there was no life!
The spell was too strong,
too weak to resist its pull.
The wind was frozen still
as I took my last breath.
But then there was no death!
The days turned into years,
the years turned into eternity.
The natural order was twisted
into dark harmony!
I created my own fears,
the mist of sorrow encircled my thoughts.
The demons came forth from the shadows
and bringing dark disease.
With a sudden roar the
ground trembled and cried,
as the fire burned
a hole in the sky.
The light was swallowed
into the ground and the colors
were broken in the night.
And all the stars’
creations were left to die!
Now let the dark disease
wipe out all the living.
And let all the lands be
filled with silence.
In the night’s cold
embrace you left me astray,
and the hope of new
life fades away.
Now let all the lands
be covered in black snow.
Will the morning sun
ever rise again?
And let all the creatures of
the forest turn into stone.
(The slow demise has begun,
will this be forever?
II. The Awakening
From the realms below we ride,
and in terror they run and hide.
From the shadows of old we rise,
awaken from the dark.
Over the ancient ruins we fly
where the old kings go to die.
And new kingdoms rising high,
awaken from the dark, dark slumber!
Rise!
Creatures of the dawn Crawling
from the depths of the frozen earth,
as the shadows were twisting
and turning beneath the sun.
The sound of the moaning beasts
blaring through the forest,
as they’re roaming wild
beneath the morning sun.
Ride with us again,
fight and live as free men,
die and be born again.
Ride with us again,
fight and live as free men,
die and be born again.
Die and be born again!
Centuries in darkness
bound to ruthless ice and snow,
as the dawn of the new world rises
we shall be free.
By the fire we live and die,
and the light of the sun fills our eyes.
From the fire beyond the ancient stars
we are born.
From the realms below we ride,
and in terror they run and hide.
From the shadows of old we rise,
awaken from the dark.
Over the ancient ruins we fly
where the old kings go to die.
And new kingdoms rising high,
awaken from the dark, dark slumber!
As the old worlds fall behind
our spirit reaches wide.
With no fear breathing new life,
awaken from the dark, dark slumber!
Ride with us again,
fight and live as free men,
die and be born again.
Ride with us again,
fight and live as free men,
die and be born again.
Die and be born again!
Beneath the murky soil
the draw of the ancient spell.
Swallowing everything in the ground
and then there was no sound.
Twisting the roots of life,
distorting the obscure shapes.
The day was creeping into night

The darkness fell from the sky
