Three Seats in the Hall

Three lights in the forest
Three seats in the hall
Three that heal, three wounds reveal
The father of us all
Three lights in the forest
One for the Lord of Mounds
A thousand names, a world in flames
The final battleground
Three lights in the forest
One for the Lord of Storms
Though foes may grieve let hammers cleave
Our passage through the storms
Three lights in the forest
One for the Lord of Light
The growth, the flow, the everglow
The source of our delight

Kingdom of Killers
04:10
|

Bodies piling up beside the river
The river is the colour of blood
Moon rises red over the fallen
So many men back to the mud
Hard to put a name to any faces
The work of iron fists and steel teeth
Tattered standards they still fly in mockery
Darker shapes look down on those beneath
That's how it is in the kingdom of killers
Life is hard, death is sure
And there is no remorse
Friends are few when your enemies come
Turn your back and it's over and done
That's how it is in the kingdom of killers
The risen sun bestows no pleasure
The spear's point bestows it's fate
There is no marker or no measure
When severed heads provide the weight
When the loom has served it's purpose
The beams have fallen into dust
Bodies rotted back into the soil
The living will lament as 'ere they must.
That's how it is in the kingdom of killers
Life is hard, death is sure
And there is no remorse
Friends are few when your enemies come
Turn your back and it's over and done
That's how it is in the kingdom of killers

Within the sight of the flaming eye
Beyond the reach of fists
This is the place where we come to die
Like morning's fading mists
A gentle rain soaks into the grass
I feel the sun on stone
A last descent through the mountain pass
The end of flesh and bone
Worlds may burn and stars explode
In fire, ice and dust
Towers of stone will so erode
And swords of heroes rust
The wise man lingers in the sun
Before the end of days
A journey into the hollow hills
Beyond the serpent's gaze

Return to The Earth
04:13
|

Falling through fingers - the dust of old bones
Time falls upon us - a hail of stones
Long is the memory - but short is the span
Bitter the harvest - and bitter the man
Down in the dirt, return, return to the earth
Down in the dirt…
Sitting in darkness - we drink to the dead
We shoulder the burden - for those that have fled
Minds that are troubled - and bodies in thrall
We fight for survival - we fight for you all
Falling through fingers - the dust of old bones
Time falls upon us - a hail of stones
Breathing the poison - that covers the earth
Down in the darkness - down in the dirt

A Gift From the Gallows
05:29
|

Into the shadows - A welcome to Hel
A gift from the gallows - Where dark wisdom fell
A land of betrayal - The blood-mask of hate
An unholy grail - to regenerate
Feeding with corpses - a broth of the dead
The terror of winter - where ill-fortune led
A trail of ruin - a field of flame
A roaring inferno - that calls out your name
The swing of the axe - the cast of the stone
A howl in the midwinter night
Into the forest - into the pit
Into the arms of a world full of...
Breathing out hatred - nerve endings raw
Feeding the fury - up through the core
Breaking the cycle - risen yet dead
Beyond description - everything red.
The swing of the axe - the cast of the stone
A howl in the midwinter night
Into the forest - into the pit
Into the arms of a world full of shit
