When the stars fade
And the sun and moon are swallowed
When the earth begins to shakes
And the mountains start to crumble
When the trees uproot
And bonds of fellowship break
Finish you ale, pick up your steel
The age of Ragnarok HAS COME
Follow Odin the bell begins to peel
The greatest battle on earth
From the halls of valhalla
The glittering host marches forth
The host of Valhalla
March for the fate of the world
Lead by odin and his son
Heroes of the Aesir
Out of the gloom comes a hellish form
With gaping jaws and flaming eyes
Warriors of valhalla meet their doom
Scraping the skies and gouging the earth
The maw of Fenrir the world wolf
Brave odin meets the beast
Glimmering eye and keen blade
consumed within the jaws
None can stand the doom
Yet vidar stands true and firm
The power of Odin in his veins
He fights for the fate of the world
And into legend he will be hurled
With a mighty wrench he tears the beast
And plunges his blade within
Vidar is victorious
On the field of vigrid
His foe defeated
Though much is lost
To the glorious dead
The world can be rebuilt
From the ashes of the world
New life can now spring

Swamp Wizard I

Part 1 land of shadow
Across the barren hills
And through the mountain pass
The misty swamp lies
In silent oppressive darkness
Within the depths
Legend tells
Of an ancient menace
A trickster and deceiver
The swamp deity is known
Across the land of cloud and fire
From the rumbling earth
To its freezing heights
None have met him
And remained the same
As mind traveller and unraveller
Even the mighty are challenged
Part 2 the high lords
The high lords decree
This menace be vanquished
Send forth four heroes
From the corners of the realm
Conquer the demon
And cleanse the land
Stop the madness and sorcery
Defeat the swamp wizard
Their gifts united
Stand but a chance
So the prophets say
Of a final victory
From the safety of their halls
The mighty set forth
To face the unknown menace
And explore his dark lands
Part 3 the wizard's bargain
"Who dare disturb my dreams?"
Warriors four approach
"Ones who seek justice and peace"
The challenge met with laughter
A wheezing voice grows near
The swamp wizard materialises
From the fog of smoke and scent
The enigma approaches
"I bring no darkness on this land
Only slumber and peace
Or fantastic visions beyond reality
If you so choose"
"Those who come to me
Never return
As their minds and spirits
Transcend their mortal cage"
Part 4 transcendence
"I can provide
apotheosis
Mind bending powers
Unharnessed reality"
"Use my gifts sparingly
I warn thee
As your bodies are still anchored
The this mortal land"

Mind expanded
‘Cross space and time
A galaxy of dreams
Cosmos of possibilities
Left behind
These earthly caskets
Apotheosis achieved
Infinity awaits
Gifts of the wizard
Boons of the earth
Potions and magic
Dimensions transcend
Their souls wither
As their minds flourish
The wizard’s warning
Left unheeded
Sustain their spiritual temples
Neglecting the gift of blood
To find a balance
Between two realms
Gifts of the wizard
Boons of the earth
Potions and magic
Dimensions transcend
Swamp Wizard looks on
And smiles
Another pawn in his realm
Or will they overcome
To be acolytes
In his army
Learned ones who
Walk in the balance
Gifts of the wizard
Boons of the earth
Potions and magic
Dimensions transcend

High Waves
04:42
|
|
||
|
Fearlessness breaks through
The negativity
Ride the high waves
Of positivity
My courage and my strength
Takes me through
Keeps me from the cold
Dark abyss
I watch and
I wait
For destiny's
Fickle design
The path I
Will be taken
For good
Or for Ill
I will run
Headstrong
To my doom
Or my success
Each man has
A path
To keep walking
And never stop

Emerald Blade
06:32
|
|
||
|
This is my land
Carved with blade and blood
Forged a life
Under gaze of the gods
Protect my tribe
From terrors beyond
Evil mysteries
And beasts of shadows
The darkness threatens
At the seams of reality
Shadows and death
To suffocate the light
Into the night
Flaming priests at my side
The emerald Blade
Victory at the fore
Destroy my enemies
The mighty prevail
The blade is whetted
Emerald to black
Vengeance is lightning
A flash in the dark
The only shadows to remain
Are cast by light

Warp Crawler

Rise up through, the stormy night
Planetoids pass by, in shards of light
Warp drives engage, in the astral plane
Travelling faster than, a god of holy flame
On the dark plane, Cold unreality
On the dark plane, Mind expands
Subsonic feedback, From a distant time
Cast in unearthly light, increase the aperture
Gas giant dedicated, to the Pikeian gods
Nearby planets dimmed, by it brilliance
Hulking rock of Lifesonite, lit by the Red Star
Thunder gods rule its skies, deep bass in the earth
Bury me in smoke, The holy cloud
Sentence me to life, Of riffs ringing loud
Embodied illumination, Lightens the way
Vision obscures, Senses slip away
In my journey to reach, nirvana
Nirvana is the journey, transcend
syncopated rhythms, Reverberating tones
Colour filled prisms, Music fills my bones
