breathless I stand free

blind to fates which fall to men

embracing the chilling winds, still I am

the mist freeze falls from my breath

steel gray skies encompass my sight

caring not for other worlds

(and there are other worlds than these)



your fathers tried to slay me

your brothers fell before me



clashing, as hates collide

through echoed cried I wade

upon frozen ground, my victims lay



pounding the frozen earth,

the hooves of horses carrying men

swords raised high,

the rush of war flowing through their veins

the warm blood soon to meet the earth

from which it came



your fathers tried to slay me

your brothers fell before me

ageless, still I am



heathens, they bring their crusades to me

failing, they've come to die in vain

nameless, their meaningfulness is none

I summon the strength of the gods

and we are one



hear this, see this, know this

for this is the ways that it must be



for solace I eat the heart

to steal the power, this magic holds

and to taste the bitter vengeance

that within me has dwelled



men of kings have come to end me

only to die in vain

legends, have cursed my name

spells are spoken,

believed to ward me away



your fathers tried to slay me

your brothers fell before me

ageless, still I am
