THE STORMRIDER LYRICS

1. The Storm

[Act I]

[The Oracle:]
Darkness is rising over daylight
The Moon has been erased by the Ancient shades
A cold fate waits for us now
Warfare creators, they're forming...
The Storm

2. Shadows Of War (Visions)

[Alioth:]
This is the end of the story...
This is the end of the world...
Life is watching destruction
This is the beginning of the end

Darkness is reaching this side of the world
Nobody will escape
Moon and Sun, they are fading to black
Demons are arriving at earth

Shadows of war are coming from the sky
Spirits of death unknown
All I see is the end of all mankind
We will burn

Hiding, Running, Fighting
There's no escape
Hiding, Running, Fighting
There's no savior

We need a miracle sent from the gods
Join the armies of the world
It's the only chance to save our lives
Let's try it

Hiding, Running, Fighting
There's no escape
Hiding, Running, Fighting
There's no savior

We need a miracle sent from the gods
Join the armies of the world
It's the only chance to save our lives

Shadows of war, spirits of death
Bizarre creatures born to hurt
Unholy beasts beginning to fight
Only the strongest will survive

3. Messengers Of Fate

[Alioth:]
My King, a menace is approaching us now
Brave mighty warriors a battle will break out
Ancestors left the mountain to advise wisely
A tough plan must be made for our existence

Leave these lands and bring us hope for the future
Take your fastest horses and light the dark

A journey through dangerous lands,
Trying to achieve the mission
A few men called the Messengers of Fate

Ancestors left the mountain to advise wisely
A tough plan must be made for our existence

Leave this lands and bring us hope for the future
Take your fastest horses and light the dark

A journey through dangerous lands
Trying to achieve the mission
A few men called the Messengers of Fate

[The Seneschal:]
Oh wise ones, listen to my thoughts
And let the riders reach their destination
Help them to complete their assignment,
Help them to join the armies of the world

[Alioth:]
Leave this lands and bring us hope for the future
Take your fastest horses and light the dark

A journey through dangerous lands
Trying to achieve the mission
A few men called the Messengers of Fate

4. Never (Deep Winter)

[The Oracle:]
Forbidden towers,
now his soul it has become
His cries were heard by silence...
...and in silence promises were told

[Alioth:]
In the morning's cold wind,
kneeling down he sees his end,
but one second just before nightfall
Deep Winter comes

[The Oracle:]
She whispers silence,
sweet cyanide in her lips,
she cries alone in darkness...
...a covenant between earth and sky

[Alioth:]
Like a silvered circle
Death won't come to free her pain,
but one second just before nightfall
Deep Winter comes

[Bariel:]
Never again I'll be embraced by Deep Winter
Never again, I will die for her
Never again, In my heart is Deep Winter
Never again Deep Winter will come

Winter watch me crying,
your coldness seal my scars
No silver tears are falling,
never, no, you will not come

If my soul is dying,
If my mind expires,
let me see her beauty
wired to your skies again...

[Criseida:]
No pure skies again
No silent winds will reign
No forests covered by rain
No more
Won't come

[Bariel:]
So come again, Deep Winter, by my hand
I'll be the Lord of Sorrow
So come again, Deep Winter, by my hand
I'll be the Lord of Sorrow

Never again I'll be embraced by Deep Winter,
Never again, I will die for her
Never again, in my heart is Deep Winter,
Never again Deep Winter will come

5. Time Is The Punisher, Time Is The Avenger

[Act II]

[Bariel:]
Searching Inside
For answers now hidden
All I can find is frozen

This Autumm mist
Surrounds me with dark hands
Cruel battlefields, once gardens

Beneath this coal sky
I'll face my fate

[Alioth:]
Fight in the name of time
On the wings of the storm you ride
You'll be one with your destiny

Fight in the name of time
All you know must be left behind
And let time be the avenger... The Avenger

[Bariel:]
Over this land
The wolves, they're crying
All I can find is Silence

Time, It's the war, It's the never defeated
It is my guide Forever

Beneath this coal sky
I'll face my fate

[Alioth:]
Fight in the name of time
On the wings of the storm you ride
You'll be one with your destiny

Fight in the name of time
All you know must be left behind
And let time be the avenger... The Avenger

6. Ritual

[instrumental]

7. Cults Of The Shadow

[Kurn-Dreider:]
Thousand mirrors of time
I have crossed through to make your secrets mine...
Now all shadows are hidden nights in stone-blind eyes
Columns, Vaults and Walls still stand,
come for me and set me free...
set me free...
set me free...

[The meditation of the shadow flows through Alioth's mind...]

[Alioth:]
So I will search in darkest lands
Your signs divine, born of the night...
In desert plains and lonely vales
Dark Temples Wait, made up of hate

Cults Of The Shadow
The rose of night... it's opening for me
Each petal shows one face of my enemy

Cryptic signs of my perfect end
That night sticks into me
Essence Of Warfare revealed
Inside in my dreams

Cults Of The Shadow

One step down into these fields
Will expand your sight... your mind
Begining, equinox, end
In death I transcend

Depths of the sky
Awake this night,
Here is your slave now

Immortal shine,
Jewel of mine,
Black seas I sail now

In raging flames
Voids I have set
Entire Galaxies
my hand burned
But what I search for
Is just my end
This power still lives in me

8. Windhunter

The Windhunter remembers the stormrider's call
and the grief of his people, who scream his name begging for help:
"Yeah... Windhunter!!... Please fight by my side..."
"Windhunter"

[Denuvian:]
You're marching so proud now,
but your crimes awoke my inner fire
My people has suffered for so long
And now is the time you'll pay the price

'Cause I'm the one
Who'll make you fall
Revenge divine
I promise it will be mine
My land is bleeding
Its soil is broken-down
Rise unforgiving!

At the end of my life
Pain has gone, I know I won't return
In the last of my days
In the Styx you'll fall I swear it

At the end of my life
Lone I walk, I know I won't return
In the last of my days
In the Styx you'll fall I swear it... by my side

Jet-black, my spirit and my banner
black is my sword
to rip your black soul

Too late I've found
how wrong I have been
In vain my mind searched
for a weapon, a blade,
Now I know that blade... is me

"Yeah... Windhunter!... Please fight by my side..."

[Denuvian:]
At the end of my life
Pain has gone, I know I won't return
In the last of my days
In the Styx you'll fall I swear it

At the end of my life
Lone I walk, I know I won't return
In the last of my days
In the Styx you'll fall I swear it... by my side

"Hunter! Windhunter!"

9. Montsacrum (Ready To Die)

[Act III]

[Criseida:]
A secret lies behind all life
That everything was born to die
But if my life I gave to you
No death could separate our ways,
I know it's true

Even if death is just the end
Even if no mountain awaits
Beside your heart I want to die
Against this destiny no enemy can fight

Winter now flies
All over this land
I feel somehow
That this time is the last

For only one moment
This vision of mine
Wrapped me somehow...
...I kissed your last breath

Will you hear this song Will we find our grace?
In the end united fates

Wait for me my love
Can't you hear this song?
Please don't fear the end
And forever take my hand...

[Bariel:]
I'm Ready to Die...
I know the time has come...
The time has come...

10. The Track

[Alioth:]
Sweet whispers departed with the wind
reducing laments (and steel sound) to silence
The hybrid breeze whispered in harmonious minds
and penetrated labyrinths

A new world, a shining dawn in time,
now the veil is being drawn back

Frailty is the dark and cruel destiny
which the track of fear leads into
In the depths of strange and unconcerned minds silence fades out,
It's the track of fear

The sweet breeze of power faded slowly,
lighting their feebleness
Anguished dark eyes clamoured for mercy
watching an unexpected end

A new world, a shining dawn in time,
now the veil is being drawn back

Frailty is the dark and cruel destiny
which the track of fear leads into
In the depths of strange and unconcerned minds silence fades out,
It's the track of fear

[Zorbion:]
Breaking the silence
you have freed a stagnant river
Where will the track of imagination lead us...

You have captured the virtue of ignorance
You have freed dread

11. New Reign

[Alioth:]
This is the end of the story
This is the end of a world
Lives arrived to the end
This is the beginning of a reign

Shadows of war from a place in the sky
Spirits of death unknown
All I see is the grievous aftermath

Shadows of war, spirits of death
Bizarre creatures born to hurt
Unholy beasts, began to fight
Only the strongest ones survived

Shadows of war, spirits of death
Bizarre creatures born to hurt
Unholy beasts, began to fight
Only the strongest ones survived
