Daybreak 06:56
She told me things that froze my blood cold She said the world would fall and all the light of gold Would be tarnished in the sweep of time And all the wolves would tear the flesh from bone "The sun turns black The earth is drowned in storm The stars from heaven burst And shine no more Fires grow cold, Blades go dull, Mothers throw their children In the maw" But I pledged this feeble will to fight, I reject the downfall that she prophesied But it must be lies, it must be lies I see the sunburst flash in the golden skies I see the darkness flee before the break of night I see the sun, I see it rise It rides like rolling thunder across crimson skies So don't tell me lies, Don't tell me lies I see the star of morning it crowns the highest heights So don't tell me lies, Don't tell me lies! The waters split The ground is cleansed in flame Birds of prey fly high And hunt their game The First Men walk again And stake their claim They build their towers and walls And bestow their names Then in tall grass They find the golden shards Of those who came before, Those who played their part Beneath the sunrise It stands so tall The day will dawn, the earth is blessed with rain and all The stars of heaven shine bright Upon the plain Blazing pyres hearth drawn Fires forever roar in flame

Whiplash send it straight to the back Full throttle on my iron steed Burning rubber down this vein of tar Across the empire burning free Life's not one terrible lesson to be learned By the thrill of the struggle man was meant to walk the earth Take your chance and roll the dice You never know what death has in store Will you wither as a frail being? Or embed yourself in the lore? Be a thundering beast in a land that makes no sound Stand tall in a world where there's no justice to be found It's just one hell of a ride To the other side I've been seeing things in my dreams lately The type of omens that could bring a lesser man back to reason I'll tell you something now You're gonna need more than that snuff me out I ain't ever gonna run and hide Full throttle 'til the other side Destruction of the sacred ground Lesser men now run and flee I'll stand with sword in hand Against the cowards that bent the knee Hear the calls from the woodland plenty now Divine the signs that lead to home Beyond the North wind will you go If every path leads to the grave There's no use in playing your hand safe If every wound should bleed you cold, Then transmute into gold Vitriol will be the death of you Tremendous thunder falling from the sky And burning in the heart of you Two wheels down the burning road Forever revving up the world tree Freedom found in the grip of fate And a tank of gasoline They say that all our fates are doomed to fade But what would all your forebears say? Ghost the fates and carve the way

A western hero In an eastern land Wrought from prophecy, blood and steel By a divine hand Occidental Rage Oriental Flame This realm will know my name The Quantum Kshatriya Of every time and age The Vajra glitters gold now Emanating glorious chimes Magnanimous auras Raining down upon me now Through my mind and throughout time Like the glint of a stone Like the scrape of a spark Let the energy flow May nothing be stark Stochastic hails of Hagalaz Bright atomic Sig runes falling down Subatomic runic cryptography Encoded into great triumphs of all Sigils carved on our DNA Dagaz, Nauthiz, Ansuz The first runestone was the double helix climb I travel through all the signals of light Quantifiable, rhythmic patterns from beyond time To find the Grail within the cold binaural line In that place where even old death may die

There ain't nothin’ like the thrill of the hunt The slaking of the sharpened blade The twilight of the enemy Calling me to an early grave It's curtains call I've had my final say For tonight We gather the blood in our veins And avenge the remains of our shattered lives How could we ever turn this steed around And find the path of glory? It's in those first few steps That we find our rightful story This life was never said to be easy So slake your blade Bind your wounds in the night Every night after night until the night is over When the folly of grief comes crashing down We find our highest selves On the path thats narrow Cuz that's just the Arc of the Arrow Never bending the knee Never cry out for relief forever burning free Obsessed with victory The blood in my veins rides the storm tonight and I strain To find my rhythm as I glide Across a hinterland that cries And the Gods ever cheer for our climb The strength of enchanted blood Wallowing souls haunting the heights The Spindles spin A Hero’s hymn A chance for fate to reclaim A world so bleak And dreary thin Katabasis of the chosen one and we fight on well into the night Bright gleaming helms will glitter in the light My life as an arrow Shot from the bow of my kin And I soar higher and higher by their good grace alone To find my purpose through the aim of their gaze And then to beautifully return to the earth Exactly where they intended There's a storm brewing in my blood It's raising hell by the lotus that buds The balance of the soul seems to compose Shangri-La seems closed

To the Sea 05:10
Keepers of the exalted tongue Bending the knee to a dark prophecy Waning in gleam and professing a fate yet unfurled Nothing to see but a blinded head of the snake The strides of the Eidolon rumble and dazzle the skies Waking the realm to a downpour of mana and light They point the way They send me back home to the sea I will not rest, but ascend to the highest of peaks Through the rushes and reeds I see the golden Sun rising once more Ancient winds whisper from Gods to all of their Sons “To the sea, to the sea!” Nations do not reside in the earth and the soil Kingdoms are not bound to their harvests and halls They smoulder deep in the hearts of their glorious Sons And they guide them to the sea Pirates and thieves, the fate of Timaeus’ sons Forefathers of heroes and tyrants yet born The nameless bearers of tomorrow's traditions and songs The saltslick reavers that carry the myth on and on They braved the storms and the serpents ire Ignited the tinder of the western fire Smouldering embers from a time all but lost I'll sever the heads of the demons that wish it all gone

An altar, a city, a people Engulfed in the flames No Gods dare snuff the ire of these sons of war and rage A beating heart syncs rhythm to blood Swelling a symphony of gold and soul Hammering down Shaking the ground This land is theirs to take This is where Aeneas began Brought the Golden Bough to Charon And I crossed the river Lethe To embrace my kin to come again Again and again, we all rise again Rain to a flame The smoke rose and claimed The unshackled traitors of all that is green The deafening cries of the faithless fell Before their accursed tribe was bound to hell Corrosion in flesh Lifeless in thrums The iron chants The soul reforms Intoxicated by the fruits of valor For beauty rests by sword and shield There subsists within the blight, a shimmering mantra for the chosen. And it is heard by all those who yet possess the soul gifted to them by flesh now lost. The spell sounds out from all safehavens left in this perilous realm And its words are as such "We who conquer death ne’er die Our mother earth and father sky Though iron wanes, and brothers will fall It's the eternal us Against them all" The rites of the slain Were chanted through pain As the living were felled in the mud and the rain The brooding heart of noble ire The thunderous thrum of noble sons To die with steel while bathed in mud This is the creed of noble blood Ascend higher and higher So that in your fall you may burn brighter Brighter than any who came before Lighter, So that in your dream's wake You will be reborn again
