Weatherhold
04:21
|

My mind is at ease
I slip away from reality
To a place so vivid, so clear
From this haze, my kingdom, appear
Rise, my walls
Stalwart, ever tall
My hold will stand against them all
Once my dreams were quests for glory
Now my visions betray me
Oh, my gates of sleep
Twisted sights, you've turned to black
Rise, my walls
Will nightmares be your fall?
Have I found the end of my dreamland
But if I could find those days again
Would glory reclaim this broken land?
I would see the rise of my Weatherhold
Return
Once my dreams were quests for glory
Now my visions betray me
Oh, my gates of sleep
Twisted sights, you've turned to black
Twisted sights, you've turned to black

Holders of the Stars
05:56

The stars are not our own
They belong to the gods
Who are you to stray from
The Holders of the Stars?
Oh, how we'd thirst
Why did it all turn to dust?
Empty, lifeless lakes
Seek salvation deep beneath the crust
Fight them for water, holy world's blood
Conquer and slaughter, we are the chosen ones
True sons
The holy guardians
Who are you to sully the name of the gods,
The Holders of the Stars?
Punish those who question
The authority of the gods
The stars did fall, decrees of thunder and ice
A blessed year, a purging of heretic life
But just down the muddy street
At a place where the common folk meet:
Who are you to question the gods
What a farce, the mantra of a fool
Hear my tale, for I was there before the sky fell
It was such a long time ago, I was so very young
I was on a journey to find where the water had gone
And within the desert the north ocean now sits upon
A crack in the air
Dropping three strangers there
Stepping out from nowhere
And with ice in her stare
And the sea in her hair
She led them
I followed
And witnessed not struggle of god
Just man
Allow me to illuminate
Gentlemen, you may ruminate
I am the one
I am the caster and the master of the elements that you all take for granted
I may be flesh
But from this breast
I drew the breath
That summoned life
Along with strife
And conquered sure death
Every icy peak upon your world I summoned
Every lake and river
All of them I delivered
Recognize my power
Fear my name, Sage Gwendolyn! I am the Holder of the Stars!
I take my leave, but you must honour me for all time

Ritter's Demon

Whispering profanities
And promising insanity
Can anyone look to see
The creature who resides in me, who rides in me
No, all these lies spew from its mouth
Tainting every thought inside my head
And all I've said
A weight so real and these clutching claws I feel
As it treads across my shoulder
I thrash each day but this beast I cannot slay
And the heft, it makes me slower and slower
Shame
And the wasting away of my days
I can go on
I will not fail
Flee my mind, leave no sign
Wicked beast
Will your urging on my actions ever cease?
All your words, every curse
I beg you please
Grant me just one day to think that I am free
Strangling all life from me
Denying smallest will to be
If I cannot rise today
Will I fade away
My weakness feeds it day by day
I cannot drive this dread away
It's manufactured hate and doubt to warm its stay
Plaguing me for years as it bolsters all my fears
Replaying every failure and rejoicing in my
Shame
And the wasting away of my days
Can I go on?
How can I go on?
Flee my mind, leave no sign
Wicked beast
Will your urging on my actions ever cease?
All your words, every curse
I beg you, please
Grant me just one day to think that I am free
Day after day
Year after year
It is always the same
I've spent my strength
Gone to each length
And repeated my defeat
You always said
Each step ahead
I would gain nothing
So laugh and cheer
For you have steered
To your last victory

This world is too loud
It will deafen, smother, strangle me
I must get away
Climb the mountains
Find the other place
I've been there
I know the way
Through harsh lands
Traveling for days
Where my heart will always remain
Home again
Other worlds fade away
All that is, exists so near to me
This place, my comfort, my strength
Now, my haven, lift my spirits free
Take all of my woe
Cleanse and unthrone
And recrown my soul
I'm whole
Other worlds fade away
All that is, exists so near to me
This place, my comfort, my strength
Now, my haven, lift my tethers free
x2
New convictions define my step
I return down that weathered path
To lands from where I came
I can face my challenges again
x2
I'm whole

Blade Of Destruction
04:47
|
|||
The darkest of nights was lit by his call
Brothers in arms, enter my hall
Three so righteous and pure of heart
But stained by rage, the fourth takes no part
The power I offer his fury would taint
Unfettered by conscience's just restraint
He took your brothers and left you there
Denied you power, laid weakness bare
Called into question your will and your strength
I will give to you what he denied you
Fight for me, kill for me, lead my armies
Blade of destruction, a bargain made
To give into pride for power's gained
A monstrous sword of fury's design
Your blade at the fore, dark armies align.
Your rage has been realized
A god of war, materialized
Put to the sword
Those your brothers have sworn to defend
Blade of destruction, your brother's shame
For the blood that you've spilled they'll forsake your name
Oh, the hate that you grip for your choices and pride
Each battle's end you'll wish you had died
Forsake all your honor and
Forsake all your glory and
Forsake all your pride and you
Must do what you know is right
x2
The time has come to change your ways
And cleave another path
After a thousand, thousand years
End the war that could everlast
Blade of destruction, your oath
It would tear the world apart
But you found the wisdom to leave it behind
And choose right over pride
Kill the master, draw his armies
Hunt them down and slaughter them all
Hunt them down and slay them all
The master immortal or so they did say
But the end of the ageless brought end to the war
You will never know peace
Bound by your guilt, you can't be released
From the blood and the stench of the death that you've caused.
And the world will never forgive your name
Your brothers will hunt you for eternity
Oh, greatsword of war, can you hear the call
Flee from your past, abandon them all

Living Pages
05:44
|

Shed your covers and breathe your tales
Of beasts and monsters and necromantic spells.
Guide us through dungeons and arcane plots
Through hells and wastelands where the best have fought.
Guide us
Lead us
Our heroes will teach us
What it means to be strong
What it means to carry on
Crease your spine and whisper lore
Of demons and tyrants who fell before.
Show us their rise and how they lost.
The victor, the justice and the brutal cost.
Guide us
Lead us
Our heroes will teach us
What it means to be strong
What it means to carry on
Sing out your stories and light our fire again
Your heroes roar for ages
We will return and fight ever by their side
Just let us breathe your living pages
Who will survive and who will die this time?
Quick, learn their lessons before they lose their life
Search again down forgotten trails
Find your resolve, set your sails.
Hold on to these journeys gone
Never let go of your soul's screaming song
Guide us
Lead us
Our heroes will teach us
What it means to be strong
What it means to carry on
Sing out your stories and light our fire again
Your heroes roar.
We will return and fight ever by their side
Just let us breathe your living pages
Can we take our lives into our hands and change it all?
Your heroes live inside us now, but can we stand as tall?
Show us once again and we'll turn the yellowed page
We'll weep at their losses, feel the thunder of their rage
We will return to fight by their side
Learn how they lived and learn how they died
And what it means to be strong
What it means
What it means to carry on
