CRIMSON SHADOWS LYRICS

1. March Of Victory

[Instrumental]

2. Rise To Power

As the daylight begins to fade away
And the ravens take to the wing
Silently I relieve my memories
By torchlight within my halls

These hands wrought countless wrongs
In my plight to take the throne

The righteous men of old forced upon me
Tasks untold, innocent lives I've slayed

Long ago I took up my blade
Ashes of my woe fell upon me
On and on and into the fray
My withered armour falls away

The crown placed upon my brow
And rule of the realm draped upon me
Robed in kingly garb
The masses set before me
The fears and hopes are now my charge

Long ago I took up my blade
Ashes of my woe fell upon me
On and on and into the fray
My withered armour falls away

Overcome by blood and fire
My father's legacy I now hold

Long ago I took up my blade
Ashes of my woe fell upon me
On and on and into the fray
My withered armour falls away

Now I stand at the end of my days
vanquished my foes and remember the way

3. Heroes Among Us

Three nations storm the fight
We lead the masses, for high ground tonight
The enemy, forty thousand strong
Defending their lines
Soon to meet their fate

The escarpment of the battleground
Scattered soldiers, lost on their homeland

Disarrayed by the northern storm
Our flank from the south
Will take them down

Fight on, our brothers in arms
Lightning strikes across the darkened skies
Fight on
We will never die in vain
Spirits lost will carry on

Our weapons gain the edge
Blasting through the boundaries
Like a terrorizing plot to reach the end

Brothers down, we advance our fight
There is no way out
They die tonight

Conquered foes kneel at our feet
Triumphant we stand
We rule this land

4. A Gathering Of Kings

A king has summoned all the lords and powers of the realm
A harvest feast to celebrate the bounties of the year
Men pack the halls and women flock, to entertain the mass

They feast and drink and fornicate, for winter's nearly here
The king stands all and welcomes all, raising a glass of cheer
He bids his men to feast away and drink
Drink until the dawn

Tales of old are boldly told, by torchlight burning bright
The quests and deeds of yesterday, we will relive tonight

Welcome all to the gathering of kings
Fill your stein
As our time passes by
Raise your glass into the sky
Pound it back for those who have died
Drink hard
For the kingdom is ours tonight

The autumn sun will rise and fill the halls of darkened souls
In company of friends we drink and remember ones we lost
The year's been hard, men battle-scarred, we carry through their days
But now we celebrate their lives and drink
Drink until the dawn

5. Maiden's Call

Crushing against the opponent's will
Our troops manifest an intent to kill
We marched towards a far off land
We'll punish those who oppose our plans

With steel gleaming in the cold moonlight
Enchanted arms to continue our fight
A glorious victory at hand
Here is where we make our stand

The morale of the fallen ones
Is manufactured by their midnight sun
It gives them power across the plains
They'll not relent till we're in chains

Fighting opposing we push for liberty
We march on for victory

Hearing her voice
Command across the sea
Guiding us to our crimson glory
Even though we may fall
Our progress will not stall
We live for our maiden's call

Their full on assault against our lads
Took away the family that I once had
I swear to her, I'll get them back
March to their gates, the village I'll sack

We smashed through their gates with our battering ram
We'll kill some motherfuckers and eat some ham!
The blood sprays high on all those around
No mercy for those who are found

We've reached the goal and the tomes are ours
Open the chests, filled with gold bars
We'll journey back with our spoils in arms
These gems will keep my men from harm

Fighting opposing we push for liberty
We march on for victory

We will rise
Hear our call
So sing along
For one and all

6. Braving The Storm

We gather all, for our passage through the storm
Young and old, voyage to the north
The sun sets, over snow capped hills
We converge, for shelter is near

Prevailing winds vanquish the fire's light
Cold and withered - through the endless night

Fight the pain
Push through the swarm
Hold on
As we brave the storm

We have to find a way to live
Cast the demons out and fight until the end
All the weak will die
Only the strong survive

Day breaks and offers comfort from the night
Our breathless weak willed are frozen in time
We drag the dead along; advance our journey on
Never dismiss them from our minds

Fight the pain
Push through the swarm
Hold on
As we brave the storm

7. On The Eve Of Battle

[Instrumental]

8. Freedom And Salvation

Falling through the cracks within my mind
I hold the answer inside
Not all that I could be but this is my declaration

I know the path that's ahead
My influence will be widespread
I'll live in infamy
Your future is my detainee

Crossing the seas, the tides splash upon our bow;
We emerge upon their shores. Our defeat we'll not allow

Wounded by the archers' airstrike, we sail towards the storm;
Leaving fallen ones behind to be washed upon the shore.
Stricken by the loss of battle, redemption soon will soar;
Seeking freedom and salvation, winds guide us back for more.
The pain I did define
The plan was indeed malign
I stand here and draw my line
The final goal is all combined

No matter what you're not alone
I promise that they'll all be shown
When we set foot upon their land
That they will disband, off-hand, and if I only understand

Crossing the seas, the tides splash upon our bow,
We emerge upon their shores, our defeat we'll not allow

This is our declaration
Approach with fire in hand
Squeeze the life from all in sight
My goal is their plight

We crash upon their fields
We're fast on their heels
Our midnight gods will revel in their folly
But their cries for love
Will be burnt from above
Magic will shine off our knives, for the rest of our lives

9. Dawn Of Vengeance

Captured by the forces
Dragged onto their land
Tortured endlessly
We count the days to when we make our stand

Using rituals and tools from their descent
We take the pain
Knowing life in here cannot reach the end

We must break the chains that bind us
Freedom waits upon the dawn

Many men depend on faith to survive
Raising their hands to the sky
Rust in myself and we will carry on
For glory we will ride tonight

The date is set
To take command
No more starving souls
No giving in the selfless reprimand

We must break the chains that bind us
Freedom waits upon the dawn

To my kingdom who pray for my return
For vengeance, I will reclaim my throne

10. Moonlit Skies And Bloody Tides

Raise your horns towards the twilight sky, victory is ours none can deny.
We drink to our comrades who have died;
We set sail at dawn with home in our minds.

March towards the coast at first light,
Gather our spoils they are ours outright!
Chests of silver and gold; legend was foretold
- A curse upon this land; all of us are damned

The god of death will come to our souls!!!
Search inside your soul and find the strength,
Resist the gold, half our men, will not see dawn,
Bloodlust corrupt us all.

Darkness takes in our sight - we will rise!
For the death that will haunt us tonight
Pride is guiding us to survive - survive!
Fate and destiny leads us to the light

Sails catch wind as we ride the sea,
The shore fades away our fate we can't foresee
Skies turn black, There's no turning back,
Pupils grow wide, no time to react
Gods of the sea join in the fight!

Rising, from the depths
The serpent's strength stops us in our tracks
Man the sails! Defend with power!
Our bow is crushed, .... This is the end!
The treasure now lies in the depths of the sea!

Moonlight casts over me, the creature has taken men who were free!
Tides are strong, they carry me on
Washed upon the shores, war torn and crushed

Spirit, give me the strength to
