The Orphan

He was just a child
Not old enough to shave
Holding the shield of his father
Bergelmir the Brave
His father was a king
A wise and trusted man
And as his firstborn son
He should have lead the clan
His village was destroyed
The younglings and the old
Butchered like animals
One hundred living souls
Determined like a wolf
His gaze cold as ice
Sworn to avenge his fallen brethren
Perform the sacrifice
The fire of the serpent
Black as the darkest day
Memories of an orphan
Burn like the whitest flame

The Becoming
03:57
|

|
Raised by the gods
Gifted with free will
Hardened in the wild
He learned how to kill
Son of a dead king
Heir to the lost throne
Seeking for a clan
A tribe to call his own
After years of exile
He stormed into a town
Beheading its chieftain
Then taking his crown
Leading them by ruling
With an iron hand
He spread awe and fear
All across the land
Thirty years and thirty nights
Black fire in his chest
Thirty years and thirty days
Preparing for his quest

The Forsaking

On the peak of his power the king of land and sea
Ready for his vengeance his training now complete
An elite force of soldiers his personal vanguard
Waiting just for him to plead for guidance from the gods
On the edge of the highest cliff gazing at the sea
Waiting for a sign from the gods who created him
Yet silent laid the sea and silent stood the sky
Unbending and proud he raised his sword up high
On the peak of his power the king of land and sea
Ready for his vengeance his training now complete
Without food and without sleep he stood for nineteen days
Thus he screamed at the wind and hurled his sword into the waves
Abandoned by the gods
Abandoned by the gods
Abandoned by the gods
Abandoned by the gods

The Crusade
03:42
|

|
An army that has seen so many battles
An army that has seen so much war
One hundred men in their prime
Ready to give it all
The men are marching on across the marshlands
The men are marching on over the hills
One hundred men in their prime
Ready for the kill
They saw the smoke from miles away
They smelled the burning flesh
They knew the beast was near
The hunters were ready for their test
One hundred flaming arrows hit their target
One hundred flaming arrows light the sky
Without the gods by their side
The serpent would not die
With a mighty roar they charged the dragon
With a mighty clash they attacked
Without the gods by their side
The serpent would strike back
They saw the beast rise in the sky
They could not run away
They were devoured by the flames
The hunters became the prey

The Outcast
05:10
|
|||
|
Dark waves hit the shore
Sea of blood never seen before
Scarred forevermore
Heart bursting with remorse
No sign of life
Only he survived
The king forsaken by his kind
Leaving his kingdom behind
Bleeding, downcast, mortified
Scaling the mountainside
An outlaw
The darkness falls
Lone wolf
Outcast
Chained by guilt
Pariah
Scapegoat
Fate unsealed

The Red Dawn
04:24
|
|||
|
The slaughter that he faced vast and unforeseen
The kinsmen that he lost murdered in their sleep
He reaches the old man young eyes all but shut
As his final words he begs blood for blood
Burning houses
Screams of pain
Circle of blood
Two fates enchained
As the fire in the eyes
The eyes of the child
Fades away
He fills with rage
The scars in his heart
His soul torn apart
The hurt returns
He goes berserk
Burning memories
Flames of pain
Circle of hate
The fury unchained

The Retribution
08:32
|
|||
|
As he calls for the beast
The thunder roars with him
The gods approve his vengeance
Heavy rain beats his skin
He's ready
Ready for the kill
The king takes out his spear
The serpent shrouds the sky
Unafraid he knows
One of them has to die
He's ready
Ready to die
Leaping through the air
A lightning strikes his blade
As the wind guides his flight
The weapon sets ablaze
Aim for the heart
It's blood for blood
Aim for the heart
It's Blood for blood
With unnatural force
He strikes the beast
Disheartening was its screech
Penetrating its scales
Into the fiery core
The serpent was no more
A spike of the snake
Impales the king
And takes away his life
They both fall down
Into the raging sea
Glorified sacrifice
The sea calmed down
and the storm died out
A new morning dawned
Calm and proud
A hero's farewell
A legend to be told
A beautiful death
He feasts in the halls of gold

There is something somber about this track. It seems painful, as if mourning the loss of someone. I clicked on this album because the art looked really cool.
