Path to Eternity (intro)

The tree of life
Source of Eternal strength and youth,
Nurturing nine worlds filled with immortal legends
A deity feared and adored by all, Freya
had to change the course of destiny
The solution was to gather a piece of each of Yggradsil's roots
Reunited, they would give her access to a powerful spell which would give her the possibility to change one of the three aspects of time
The first root originates from the well of Urd in Asgard,
which is guarded by the three norns
The second root comes from Mimir's well, located in Jotunheim
It is said the fountain is guarded by giants
The third root comes from the condemned world, Nilfheim
A giant snake is healously guarding the root
Resolute, she went to Yggdrasil's first root,
Guarded by the three norns; witches, weavers of destinies
They cam to an agreement
The norns accepted the deal in exchange of a gift for each of them
The first one asked for a flute built by the high elves, elder of illusions
The second asked for a full pint of the best man-made ale in Midgard
The third gave her a lantern and aksed to bring back the eternal flame,
which is only found in the world of fire, Muspelheim
To help in their quest, Freya chose from the dead the lost soulds of wandering, restless warriors.
For their services, she made them a promise
that she would take them to Walhalla
To get a chance at redemption,
new life was granted to them

Deity's Grace
05:06
|
|||
|
Return valiant men, soiled by murder
This is a second chance, to live and gloriously die
YAH
Breath returns to me
Strength fills my veins
Leaving the eternal sea
I live
From a cold and distant station, I was revived
This time escaping from… shameful death.
To better die once again aside the braves
To better taste what is known… what is known as deity's grace
A soft wind upon my skin
Reminds me of a life story
Forgotten past rebirths
Awakened from lasting rest
YAH
Like before,
I’ll proudly wield my blade
YAH
Breath returns to me
Strength fills my veins
Leaving the eternal sea
I live
From cold and misleading mists, I’ve been withdrawn
Leaving the gates of torment, unfortunate ones
Today I battle without a break, without a simple relief.
This time, this short life I will savour again.
This time, i’ll splendidly end
ooohhhhh

Inferno
06:43
|
|||
|
Shadows never sleep.
They are dancing, never ceasing, such as spirits roaming
Sun doesn't exist here.
Only everlasting flares, emanating from everywhere through the suffocating air
The horizon consumes itself into an infernal vision
A traverse across this world of fire
A walk within it's ardent path
Once more we shall acquire
therefore, avoiding a divine wrath
To capture an eternal flame
To bring it without blame
Crossing a world of burning existence
Being the fire, concealed within a unit of matter
Embracing fire and death, all over again
Thieves of the blazing gift
that'll immortally enlighten the old sorceress
Thieves of a hell raising gift
Inflamed hunt, our tale
A fiery wind dries my skin
Crossing a world of burning existence
Being the fire, concealed within a unit of matter
A journey over the earth of fire
A trip within its torrid path
Once more, we shall acquire
therefore, avoiding a divine wrath
We captured an eternal flame
We’ll bring it without blame
Embracing fire and death, all over again
Thieves of the blazing gift
that'll immortally enlighten the old sorceress
Thieves of a hell raising gift...
Inflamed hunt, our tale
Ashes burst under our steps
They fly as death’s snow through a warm tempest
The wind screams a silent pain
Cacophonic breath tearing hell’s entrails.
Indeed, our fuel, our flame
Fearless, we did proclaim
Her’s

Beyond Illusions
07:08
|
|||
|
Geared for battle, we've arrived
a reception had been organized
Festive music, masterfully rendered
Caught off guard, as we were honored
A feast for the beasts that we are
Like gods, adored and revered as such
Given offerings of all kinds, none barred
(as) Splendid warriors we expected as much
Poisoning our minds with disgraceful lies
Enchanting our senses with all of man's pleasures
Living off the rest of our days
In these peaceful lands
This somehow seems like a haze
A long dream that will end
Will meet with Hel
Death, such a familiar face
Cowardice killing the blind
Eternal battlefield, and empty space
Silence, cold. Corpses of all kind
Her strong and driven voice
Souls called to her side
Redemption, our choice
Behind failures, we shall not hide
The screams of the berserkers
The weeping of the weaklings
The silence of the dying
The cheers of the victors!
Even the devil shadows the light
Trickery this time was tamed
The lost of how many nights?

Ocean's assault
04:03
|
|||
|
When the wind blows the whispers of a melody already known
When the strokes of the waves remind us that we are small
The call of the sea
Water fortress, our worlds boundaries
The one feeding itself from lives
The one who takes and leaves
It is when you face immensity that you know where you belong
I belong with fighters and i will never forsake
Guided by something stronger than a guide in sight
I follow
Even when the mist hides everything
Even when the North's wind rises and tries to frighten us
I face this tempest for all the rage, the suffering and the madness that i surpassed
Savouring this torrent, as i no longer fear

Confront Immensity
05:58

Wild areas
Our presence, soon will be known
And they will attempt to
Trample our bodies
Use our bones as forks to pick out entrails from their fangs
Scalp down the skulls, collect these trophies from their crimes
The ground‘s tremors warn us; they’re nearby
Weapons are ready // To survive, to kill, to be.
Keeper of the root , wisdom and the beast
We arrive // Fountain of many promises.
Elder of the root, wisdom and their feats
We arrive // Source of many fantasies.
Glacial March through the fountain of youth
Our dream for so long , obvious stargaze
Holding in my hand, triumph's destiny
Wild areas
Our presence is definitely known
And we now retort to
Baffle immensity
Tear their flesh with rage to drain out the life from their veins
Victory fills our glasses with death, and we drink
They bend to the fervor and the spiteful anger of our blades
Glacial March through the fountain of youth
Stealing from its heart, a piece of our salvation
Our Dream, for so long, obvious Stargaze
Holding in my hand, triumph's destiny

Condemned World
04:23
|
|||
|
Through the darkness, flavescent eyes spies us
Strangler with scales, defender of the third root
Soul's Devourer
Impale the beast
Once killed, we get through the damned area forthwith
Pierce obscurity's veil
Impede the condemned's world
Memories of rotted corpses
lingering in the air
Meet insanity, become mist and desolate
Torment leads us closer and closer to dementia
Blood runs cold and all seems so bleak
Hostile thoughts, sinisterly filled
Remember, here, all is empty
Wandering through our past lethargy
Iced mirrors reflect the melancholy of those who are dead
Take what you need and proceed

Alefest
05:36
|

|
An already trampled land
My tamed epic Middle earth
My realm
Reconquering its golden plains
Once more riding through its land
My fields
What, for some, is worth nothing,
Maybe sometimes hides a treasure.
Cherishing a priceless value.
Greedy of a volatile prize.
I came here to bring back, water of life.
Her choice she has made of it,
I serve.
My tale.
Ale so bright, ale of delight
Bring me high, fulfil my lust
Let us retrieve this elixir for the Norn
And taste a little of this syrup from my horn
A little treat for the road
Easing for an instant our crusade
My thirst
Amidst the vivid nature,
we parade through the hills of grass
Our pipes smoke along the path,
our laughs burst until the night last
To the pioneers of these valleys, we raise our glasses
Her choice she has made of it,
We serve.
Our tale.

My Everlasting Star
06:51
|
|||
|
Our journey’s apogee
It’s the end of our curse
We tried to find our salvation
Its time to leave,
To depart,
to reach death
It never seemed so good to die
My life, as a mirage, disappears
No regret, I’m prepared
Invisible embrace,
Guiding our souls to where they belong
Where daylight rises, eternally
Where leads a blameless life, evermore
Whispers are calling our names
Achieving our fates
Marching aside the dead
Dying aside the braves
Fading into the world we belong.
Perished with honour.
Foresight a rest, we deserve
Meet defunct warriors
Its time to leave,
To depart,
to reach death
It never seemed so good to die
My life, as a mirage, disappears
No regret, I’m prepared
I’m Free
At last tasting a soft relief
I foresee
My farewell, lulled by death
