CIRITH UNGOL LYRICS

1. The Call

[Instrumental]

2. Legions Arise

Long have we slumbered, but now we awake.
We dreamt of your souls, whom now we shall take.
Our legions of chaos have swollen in size.
The long wait is over, to gather our prize.
During our langour, much time has passed
The kings have returned, to lead you at last.
So rise like the chosen you all have become.
We march forth in battle, together as one.

The stars have aligned, the spheres coincide,
We lead you from darkness, to stand by our side.

Legions arise, legions arise

You never lost hope, you never have strayed.
Arise now my children, arise from the grave.
We lead not the weak, they won't answer the call.
As chaos descends, false metal will fall!

Legions arise

3. The Frost Monstreme

Ships are meeting, heroes greeting
Gift from each, to each, of death
Bodies shatter, bones will scatter
Frozen flesh draws frozen breath

The frost monstreme
I feel the freeze
The frost monstreme
Inside of me

Ships are freezing, muscles seizing
Fires burn in vain
Nightmares lurk, in icy murk
Cold bones in depths are lain

The frost monstreme
I feel the freeze
The frost monstreme
Inside of me

Ships are sinking, eyes unblinking
Icy breath that heralds death
Numbing cold flows through your soul
Frozen flesh draws frozen breath

The frost monstreme
I feel the freeze
The frost monstreme
Inside of me

4. The Fire Divine

"Fools!" cried the stranger
Won't you ever learn?
Piety and virtue
Won't help you as you burn
Your heaven's just a nightmare
When waking turns to hell
There is no God to silence
The braying of death's knell

And the blind will lead the blind
Straight into the fire divine
Are you blind to what you see?
The pain, the fear, the misery?

Every night you kneel and pray
And do as is God's will
Yet God in all his mercy
Bids you burn in hell
Your heaven's just a fantasy
To turn to in your fear
A feeble straw to clutch at
When you know that death is near

And the blind will lead the blind
Straight into the fire divine
Are you blind to what you see?
The pain, the fear, the misery?

And the blind will lead the blind
Straight into the fire divine
Are you blind to what you see?
The pain, the fear, the misery?

The blind will lead the blind
The blind will lead the blind

5. Stormbringer

The howling winds of chaos sound above the battle cry
As we slay the beasts and drink their souls to keep us half alive
Our blade will moan a fearful song, an endless dance of death
Until the lords of chaos fall and gasp their final breath

And now we feel endless evil coursing through our veins
We feel the long dead legions, all their suffering and pain
We brought about the end of time to all the gods we swore
Now all that's left is entropy and dust forevermore

Stormbringer
Forged in ancient fire
Stormbringer
Beneath the new born sun
Stormbringer
Forever joined together
Stormbringer
The blade and I are one

Reflected in the stagnant pool, the scars of life well worn
The retribution of that cursed blade, and from our fingers torn
We can't escape our destiny or from our future borne
Giving up our blackened heart, there's no one left to mourn

As we finally bring the curtain down and speak our last regrets
Farewell to our conscience, and the soul we never met
We have seen the world stop turning and all the others die
We no longer have humanity to brave the word goodbye

Stormbringer
Forged in ancient fire
Stormbringer
Beneath the new born sun
Stormbringer
Forever joined together
Stormbringer

Stormbringer
Forged in ancient fire
Stormbringer
Beneath the new born sun
Stormbringer
Forever joined together
Stormbringer
The blade and I are one

The blade and I are one
The blade and I are one
The blade and I are one

6. Fractus Promissum

The promise that was handed down was never what it seems
Do we live a life of wonder or a curse of broken dreams
Do we rise up from the ashes, begin the next crusade
Or burn upon the alter of the terror that we've made

Do we cower in the shadows or step into the light
Embrace the blinding fury borne of chaos' holy might
Rise up from the darkness, put an end to wicked schemes
Or do we bow our heads and follow someone else's dream

The promise slips away
Another broken dream

Will we ever heed the warnings sent from up above
To build a brighter future in a world of peace and love
Do we only hear the trumpet calling from below
And destroy this lowly planet leaving nothing left to show

Once a land of milk and honey, now it slowly rots away
Living in a world of broken promise

7. Nightmare

Burdened now forever by the thing that haunts my dreams
When I try to catch a glimpse of it, all I see is me

A specter in the master plan, sent here from below
Curses, death and chaos are the only things I know

I'm evil
That's what's inside of me
I'm evil
That's all I'll ever be

No escape and no atonement for the wicked deeds I've done
Raised the dead and cursed you all
And blotted out the sun

In my mind I've burned the world
A million times or more
Hope and pray my visions
Are just nightmares like before

I'm evil
That's what's inside of me
I'm evil
That's all I'll ever be

I'm evil
That's what's inside of me
I'm evil
That's all I'll ever be

Walk the line of dawn and twilight
The battles in my head
And begin the war eternal
Between the living and the dead

Listen to my warning
Heed every word I say
This madness has to stop
Before my nightmares turn to day

I'm evil
That's what's inside of me
I'm evil
That's all I'll ever be

8. Before Tomorrow

The rattle of their armor
The rattle of their bones
The pounding of their will
Would turn lesser men to stone

A testament of fire
A testament of lies
A communion made with anarchy
Too late to realize

Today we live in anger
Today we live in fear
Someday before tomorrow
Today the end is near

The chill of their intention
A savage fall from grace
A brutal congregation
The chill of their embrace

Today we live in anger
Today we live in fear
Someday before tomorrow
Today the end is near

The past is not forever
The future now remade
The call of ancient evil
Sounds a vicious masquerade

Someday a new beginning
Someday his will be done
Someday before tomorrow
The end has just begun

A testament of fire
A testament of lies
A communion made of anarchy
Too late to realize

Today we live in anger
Today we live in fear
Someday before tomorrow
Today the end is near

Today the end is near

9. Forever Black

Born into an endless nightmare
A prosody of filth and lies
A sunken dream of grim illusion
Compromise and alibis

Nowhere to hide the truth, nowhere to hide the pain
Hope is washed away in the jet-black rain

Look into my eyes
Reflect the darkened skies
Look into my soul
Forever black
Forever black

Born into a black forever
We live in fear of what will come
Hand in hand we cry together
And reap the nightmares that we've sown

Nowhere to hide the truth, nowhere left to hide the pain
Hope is washed away by jet black rain

Look into my eyes
Reflect the darkened skies
Look into my soul
Forever black
Forever black

A tragic race to disillusion
Our choice of heroes badly made
They lead us now into temptation
And turn our future toward the grave

Look into my eyes
Reflect the darkened skies
Look into my soul
Forever black
Forever black

Forever black
Forever black
Forever black
Forever black
Forever black
Forever black
Forever black
Forever black
Forever black
Forever black
