I LYRICS

1. The Storm I Ride

I ride a wind of no return
My soul is cold my mind burns
I ride my fate with all my hate
This is my search this is my state

I ride a storm of no reverse
My spirit's dark this is my curse
I journey fast this time won't last
My fate is sealed there's no reveal

The storm I ride,again and again
A soul on ice
The storm I ride until the end

I ride a war that's on my own
My will is strong I bow to none
I am my fate I breathe my hate
Into your soul you're in the cold

The storm I ride,again and again
A soul on ice
The storm I ride until the end

2. Warriors

It's a great day for fire
It's a great day for wrath
It's a warrior's desire
Ride down the mountainside

Blinding days on the desert
Blinding sun in my eyes
Mighty cities before us
Ride with your heads held high

Hungry hordes rode the sands
Into the open fire
I ride through savage lands
For victory and desire

Steel glimpse - waving spears
This hunger's constantly
Passing through the endless world
Where great warriors sleep

From the mountainous regions
Awakens the day
Shining armours and horses
Head to the battlefields
It's a great day for fire
It's a great day for wrath
A man's fate is his own
The world's at an end

3. Between Two Worlds

Clear sights through the depths I ride
Inside my mind the thoughts I hide
I ought to bear my existence
And burn to be...

The visions that was brought to me
Not different from my fantasy
Between two worlds I am
Quested not to be

I ride beyond the realms of the past
I see the sights of what won't last
From the blinding daylight
To the utter dark

The golden winter blows a breeze
Not different from my fantasies
Dark and light far in sight
Quested not to be

Too long I have dwelled in the shadows
Too long I have slept in the shades
Too long I have searched the desires
Release me so I can awake

Stone cold in the soul
With nothing to return to

Between two worlds
Between two worlds

Clear sights through the depths I ride
Inside my mind the thoughts I hide
I ought to bear my existence
And burn to be...

The visions that was brought to me
Not different from my fantasies
Between two worlds I am
Quested not to be

4. Battalions

Marching through the gates of fire
New battles on the rise
Breathing in the winds of war
Victorious desire deep inside

Tyrants' wrath upon this world
Bestow the might to throne
Battalions on the fields of war
To chaos we are bound

Nameless cities left behind
High fires in the air
Fear us those whose time has come
Awaiting in despair

Fury swings its blackened blades
From the sky a fire rain
Darkness marches on this night
On pride we fight

With the dying sun we ride
Into the honored age
Searching for the golden past
Bounded deep with rage

Magic moments magic times
Barbarians born to stride
Ride with splendor for the war
Battalions at our side

Fury swings its blackened blades
From the sky a fire rain
Darkness marches on this night
On pride we fight

Stories tel of fallen men
Great victories and fights
And all that rode towards the fields
To conquer thrones and might

Legends brought forward to tell
Tempting from another time
Devoted to the victories
They battled for themselves

Battalions
Battalions

5. Mountains

Along the mighty mountainsides
Fog creeps beneath the tops
A winding climb upon steep mountains
To where the glacial tongue becomes my path

Upon the mighty mountains heights
These plateaus of my dreams
I am at the greatest sight of all
To where the glacial arms reach for me

Highest mountains hear my call
To you I'll guide myself
The time has come for me to reach
I'm brought too far to turn

Tops that seem unreachable
Tower in the sky
Horizon to horizon
On platforms yield with wind

Mountains of ice calm in my sight
Platforms built by wind
Mountains of ice calm in my sight
Platforms built for kings

Along the mighty mountainsides
Fog creeps beneath the tops
A winding climb upon steep mountains
To where the glacial tongue becomes my path

Highest mountains hear my call
To you I'll guide myself
The time has come for me to reach
I'm brought too far to turn

6. Days Of North Winds

On days of north wind infinity appears
Against the unknown allegiance of fear
Of pagan wisdoms and pagan sights
We created kingdoms blended by might

All fearless servants
Blind fortunes for the throne
For the ode of glory dominated here

On glorious horses through wide landscapes
Might poisoned the minds of men
From the age of passion
Soldiers of the hand
Under the wrath of the sun
They ruled the kingdoms
And built a new dawn

Dark kings hailed beyond all fate
Above the gates of infinity
Imperiums call the profane

On days of north wind illusions appear
Against the unknown allegiance of fear
Pagan wisdom - pagan sights
Create the vision blended by might

Dark empires beyond all fate
Above the gates of infinity
Imperiums call the profane

7. Far Beyond The Quiet

[dedicated to Quorthon]

Far beyond the quiet
Where the gods no longer reign
The ice once formed the landscapes
Into mountainsides and stains
Many miles to walk here
Still so many miles to stalk
A place to be remembered
Still the story is untold

Waiting for the darkness
Lights are soon to disappear
Black clouds in the horizon
Drift away in the open air
A man stands on the hillside
Watching the blackened sky
Memorizing times from another age
Now make his soul and spirit glance like fire

See the ravens fly there
Circling in the storm
Hidden from the new world
Where the spiritless are born
Watching from his mountain
Stands a man who knows his fate
He who brought the legends
And became a god himself

Far beyond the stillness
Where the gods no longer reign
The ice once formed the landscapes

Into mountainsides and stains
The wisdom from the Dark age
He brought forward to tell
The lightening in his spirit
Strong he carried his own fate

8. Cursed We Are

Emerged from the shadows
Reincarnated by the walls
Into the blackened meadows
Straight into the darkside falls
All souls on fire
Coloured by a bloodred sky
The flames reaching higher
Feel the glimpse of red tonight

The curse of men
Has become our fate
It brought us here
To end our days
Countdown for the walls of time
The age of light will pass away

The storm race against us
A thousands days of misery
All fall in twilight
Burning for eternity
Oh what an age to reign
Blasting flames in the sky
Waiting for that moment
Journey to the other side

The curse of men
Has become our fate
It brought us here
To end our days
Countdown for the walls of time
The age of light will pass away

There's no essence,no future
You wouldn't know what I have seen
There's no essence,no future
Cursed we are - eternally

Fly souls of hatred
Spread your wings across the sky
To the end of the earth
Riding at the speed of light
All end in damage
Mindless voices call your name
Devoted to the darkness
Driven by the force that reigns

Cursed we are to die as men
Beneath the gods of ice and sand
Cursed we are - all
The earth man and sky shall fall

There's no essence,no future
You wouldn't know what I have seen
There's no essence,no future
Cursed we are - eternally

9. Bridges Of Fire

[bonus track]

[Abbath / Demonaz]

Cross the woods of no return
Embrace the flames awaiting me
Cross the bridge where fire burn
Eternal deeps toward the pass
I'm beyond the darkness gates
Emerged into the shades

Searching for the wisdom of the ages
Crossing the bridges

Woods of passage to the north
Clouds divide an endless wind
Mountains here in fog they lay
Swept by mist all night and day

All majestic, all divine
Shields of wind and light
Locked beyond the shadowed paths
Under heavy skies

Searching for the wisdom of the ages
Feel the flame within my soul
Crossing the bridges of fire

Passing the bridges to the rivers of red
Souls on fire, head by head
Passing the gates to the infernal sky
Knowing the wisdom of all dark and night

Across the woods of no return
Embrace the flames awaiting me
Across the bridge where fire burn
Eternal deeps toward the pass

Searching for the wisdom of the ages
Suffering through all the years
Crossing the bridges of fire

10. Intro

[Instrumental]

11. Shadowed Realms

[bonus track]

[Abbath / Demonaz]

Solar worlds open to us
Days are shadowed into the realms
We pass away not alive nor dead
Souls are sleepless eternally
Blackened by lights
Burning a long time now
We leave for the end, damned again
The sun won't heal our frozen souls
Winds are rolling here
Called for the dark

Solar worlds risen from the dust
Days are shadowed into the realms
We fall away not alive nor dead
Restless souls in the deep
The fire is gone
But still it smells
Sky is burning here
Called for the dark

Respect the force
Grounded long ago
We leave for the end, damned again
We won't heal, we won't feel
One soul in the cold
Seasons are no longer here
