MAELSTROM LYRICS

1. Thrall Of The One

From forgotten mountains,
corrupted souls enthralled
by darkness,
unleash themselves to strike with grief.
Dark spirits with dark intent,
armed with ungodly fear,
set out on an unholy mission.
They shall never meet death.

Riding as one.
Hungering the one.
Wretched calls striking fear into the hearts of men.
Everlasting presence casting a dark shroud over vast skies.

Through battles they ride, hunting the ultimate prize.
They remain flawless.
Like hounds out for blood - they shall never meet life.

2. With War We Wander

"We are gathered as many, and we shall run as one.
My men, raise your swords.
Pledge your allegiance to our undying will."

Pledge your allegiance to our undying will.
For at night we march and we must be ready.
Never shall our sons witness the fall of our gods.
Prepare for war! Fear not the darkness.
Prepare for war! Fear not for death.
Prepare for war! We must endure.
With war we wander.
Prepare for war! We must endure.

"My men we must stand as kings.
My men, we must fear no evil.
Go! And unleash hell!"

Ride out for war - ride as many.
Through the darkness we shall gather.
Through the sunlight we shall strike.
And then we shall see the shores at dawn.
Forward!

3. A Perfect Storm

[Instrumental]

4. Miasma

Expiring visions beset the waters as honest
hearts embrace the sea.
At nightfall we sail this tempest of death.
A cry to their gods initiates a message in flames.
When land is found the brave are safe.
"For those who came to pass these
treacherous waters met a mysterious veil.
Pandemonium ensued."

Do not disturb the water!
Never again shall the eyes of men
gaze upon these shores.

5. The Inauguration

[Instrumental]

6. Legacy Of A Burning Throne

When it returns from the darkness our world lies in threat.
For the last time the world shall stand.
In the end shall lay broken.

"The final terrible battle shall begin."

Thus everything dies, but only mortals die forever.
The others watch and wait eternally in the shadows.
The black sword of vengeance shall strike.

"Thus spake the one who sat in judgement.
For he foretold the ruin of the world."

His words were whispered among us all......
When the world is old and powers fade,
the sun and the moon shall be destroyed.
Surrender your sun to me.
Thus everything dies in the diminishing light.
This day we doth not speak for it shall be our last.

7. The Undying End

All in all, the shapes form lies in every word you sing.
All in all, it's fading fast like the dawn in spring.
All the summer songs used to be clear to me.
All the summer songs fade away with the day.

8. Arctica

These wings they cannot fly the weather on this night.
Over crimson skies, come find me under moonlight.
What was meant to be - to meet upon this night.
This was our destiny - entombed forever in ice.

Far away the sun goes down over nights delay.
My last remaining breath. Cold suffocating death.
Held forever in my chest. Upon our final rest.
This was meant to be - the dying of your sun.
This was our destiny - until the morning comes.

Far away the sun goes down over nights delay.

"Beyond the horizon lies a tomb of forever ice.
A dead sun hangs in an empty sky.
Beyond the horizon lies an eternity in coldness.
And beyond the great eclipse, the dark horde approaches."

Something sinister doth approach,
to rid my body of my ghost.
I fear the dawn shall never come.
The beasts have come for me - for the blood I cannot bleed.
I stand ready, gazing into the eyes of my attackers.

With great anger I rain down upon them.

9. At Dawn They Die

As the sunlight infests their minds,
I lust for the demise of the race of the mortal kind.
Sound the horn. Now we engage.
We are unleashed.
Fuelled with hatred.
Come night we march.

Read the chapters of a thousand years.
Glorify the death of kings.
Praise be to our tyrant lord.
Open the gates. Strike all with death.

We are unleashed. Fuelled with hatred.
Come night we march.
At dawn they die.

This dark illusion is deceiving the eyes.
The light is fading and the dusk draws nigh.
My love, I thought I'd never see you again.
And now this path before us stretches on as far as I can see.

We hate the race of men!
I hate the race of men!
At night we march!
At dawn they die!
As the sunlight infests their minds,
they lust for the demise
of the race of the mortal kind.
Sound the horn. Now they engage.

10. The Bell Tower

[Instrumental]

11. This Dreaded Symphony

From nothing we unleash everything
in this dreaded symphony.
In dreams I often see these rooms of emptiness.
Dungeons of deceit.
I'm led to look into each and every
room to find nothing.
Yet I'm somewhat drawn into looking.

My welcome to this dreaded symphony.
My life grows short and in the end
it
matters not of lie or consequence.
My fate is sealed in angels eyes.

Each and every room. I see nothing but blackness.
Is this a sight into myself?
These rooms of emptiness. Yet I'm somewhat drawn.
Is this a sight into myself?

"On these vast lands we forever continue.
Under the fists of our gods, we battle for these lands.
Through red skies we strike with eternity.
From nothing we unleash everything,
in this dreaded symphony."
