As Paths Cross

Unfettered will fare the Fenris wolf, and ravage the realms of mean
‘Ere that cometh a kingly prince as good to stand in his stead
As we return from our hallowed hall to our homes on this mortal plane,
Lingering thoughts fill our minds, they dwell on the deeds of the evil wolf.
Darkened word spread through time: Fenrir will return.
As the wolves end their run and devour the sun and moon, they break the cycle, bring the darkness, shake the earth, and raise the tides of war.
Being bound in a show of courage. Thrice done and twice broken, a great beast shall be unleashed.
Present a hand in a show of faith, for the wolf, he is no fool.
Fenrir, breed fear, a fire in his eyes
A new age to be revealed, in these darkened times.
Two sons, paths crossed in the sky.
Break the cycle, bring the darkness, shake the earth and raise the tides of war.

Earth bound soul, bound by sight.
Breathe. Lash out. Block my right.
Plunge sword deep. Grit my teeth.
Blood pours out, your life ends.
Fragile bones broken clean
Pacify. Light bleeds out.
Tormented, death has come.
Earth bound soul, bound by sight.
We’ve returned to prey on the weak.
Hear my words of vengeance and consequence.
Lights drift in and out of faces
Little left of words or wisdom
No will left in the living
The wolves eyes gleam in the distance, fire and cinder cloaked in time
Those we left behind were given fair warning,
Yet they heeded no word and now they face a thousand deaths
Dawn of the Flame, from Asgard we came
Honor intact, we have come back

Crimson

Misfortune shines, the fields of war revealed. A bloodied shrine to the fleeting wings of time.
Adversaries to kill, I wield this gift of death. Clashing of will, brothers admit no crime.
Blades strike true We force our will divine. Focus the mind. The reign of steel presides.
Black becomes the sun’s beams, weathers all treacherous.
The gods homes, Crimson with gore.
Do you still seek to know? And what?
A Final Battle of Unparalleled Cost. Purpose and meaning has all been lost.
There can be no victor, neither man nor god, for this will be the end of their watch.
The gods will be buried. Buried.
Brothers’ swords met with shields, as fires glow across every field.
Some weep while others bleed. To simply call them cries would be an unforgivable lie.
Mothers’ homes met with torch, as blood flows across every sword.
Remain Free. To the Forest we must flee.
To simply give our lives could be the end of all mankind.

The Sun Fills Our Sails
04:51

A world aflame, Endowed with grief
No longer willing to breathe.
The Soil lay in ruin.
Find the Path
Beckoned by light
Guide My Hand
Gilded, My Ship Awaits
Escape
I can see the fire of an unfamiliar sun. The Sails Unfurl.
A beacon of light to illuminate our path. The Sails Unfurl.
I can see the fire of an unfamiliar sun. The Sails Unfurl.
As the new light blooms, the sun fills our sails.
New Horizons call to me.
Into the sky we rise as the Sun Fills Our Sails
Stars Above, Fire beneath
As the new light blooms, the Sun fills our sails
New Horizons Call to me.
Into the sky we rise as the sun fills our sails
Stars above fire beneath
Into the unknown we forge as the sun fills our sails.
All journeys must begin.
Oh Oh Oh Oh. Oh Oh Oh AHH.

Fly above Eternity of mind
Preaching words of Skin made hard
Feel no harm, yet see the scars
Memories Fade of Days gone by
Past. Present. Fading.
Soulless. Spirit. Finite.
Wrath. Fire. War-worn.
Soulless. Spirit. Finite.
Broken. Weary. Questioning.
I remember broken faces of their sons
I can feel the weight of every life, covered in earth.
I Question myself
Who have I become?
Broken
Spirit
Condemned
Growing, Stars and Black within

Alone for days
No one else to feel
Atone in spades
Abused by destiny
A man is not his body.
A man is not his pain.
A man denies his nature to become whole again.
Mounting Self doubt
Crowning my own self
Destined to repeat my mistakes
Ruptured from the War within
Broken. Falling.
Broken. Falling.
Broken. Searching.
Ruptured. Falling.
Mountains of darkness erode
The sea of light break through
Emotions of doubt.
I can be whole.
Whole.
Broken. Falling.
Broken. Searching.
Broken. Falling.
Broken. Searching.
Battered Spirits Souls
The fight of time’s crashing waves
Emotions of doubt
We can be Whole.
Whole.
Whole
Whole
Whole Again.

Oceans Above: Rekindled

Like souls, lost to sea, we all seem alone
Together in solitude. The stream of life flows on.
Follow my words. I will not succumb to sleep.
I’ve been through the war, now’s the time to fight
Find a way
Mark your prey
Another Day
Life will find a way
We must fight
Take this blame
No regrets
Memories lead astray
I’ve survived, despite the flames.
I’m alive, and I must fight.
Unify Deride
Memories Inside
Fire Alive
Memories Divide
Follow my words. I will not succumb to sleep.
I’ve been through the war, but now is time to fight
I’ve cheated death
I’ve done my best
I’ll never rest
Until we rise
Fallen Foes
Faces Dwell
Rotten Bones
Broken Shell
Fallen Foes
Faces Swell
Rotten Tomes
Ruptured Bells
Hear my words
Find a home

Sights Set
A Deep Breath
I will take this land as my own.
Stones set
Blood red
Force, Fire, Survival’s will.
Warlord from the North
Strengthened Will
No servant to time
This world will be mine
Blood rites. Written in stone.
Remove those who do not tremble before my divine right.
Crush their skulls.
Teeth rasp bone.
Dripping with blood, I will make this my new home.
Bask in the sun.
Demigod, lifted by my own superior might.
Sights Set

Stone Cold. Blood Red.
Warlord, Wrought of Death.
Hammer God. A Fire Birth.
Intangible Parts of the Self.
Demigod. Made in Flesh.
Meager gods. Turned to Dust.
Rape your gods, weak in their own false divine.
Rain Death on this World
Fragment. Distress.
Enslave. Possess.
Demigod. Born of Flesh.
A warlord, fire possessed .
Broken World in great distress
Gods of old: enslave the rest

Lives written and Lies repeated through time and page
Stories are made, fabrications of propriety
Lies Smitten and Cries repeated through time and page
Stories are made, fabrications of propriety
Another age can pass without the first being broken.
Time weighs on those it forgets. Gods anew, I bring to you.
Create Our Gods. Culture. Control.
Minds Weak. Time Weigns.
Mind Set to impose A new Pantheon of rage and blood
Bow Down to the gods from the sky
A new truth for the minds of the weak
Bow down before this pantheon of gods
Kneel or Die

Poised on the edge of my sword, my life evolves around me.
In this world I’ve born, time reveals the deepest cracks.
No man can escape death, We all will take our last breath
The cries so clear in my head, Fallen on this world of mine
Broken terms of the faith, Peel away the skin & tears
Bring upon the newest age, My place amongst the pyre
Run aground beneath the weight, the cries so clear in my head
Fallen, this heart of mine, Revoke the realms of men
Broken terms of the faith, Peel away the skin & tears
Bring upon the newest age, My place amongst the pyre
Eyes Blur. Life Wanes and Bones Frail.
Pride Fails. Death waits a Hearts skip.
Bruised, on the edge of my death, All life revolves around me
This world on which I die, time unveils the deepest breath.
No man can escape death, We all will take our last breath
The cries so clear in my head, Fallen on this world of mine
Broken terms of the faith, Peel away the skin & tears
Bring upon the newest age, My place amongst the pyre
Feel the weight against your bones
Time awaits no man
We will all find our death
No One is immortal
Words mean nothing
Yet I speak them all the same
Time awaits no man
No one is immortal
Eyes Close, Fire reigns, Alone
Hearts froze, time wanes, we are alone forever
We all shall return to the Earth
We all shall return to the Earth
As we take our place amongst the Pyre
