THE STORYTELLER LYRICS

1. As I Die

The sun's rays over the fields
The calm is deceptive cause there's something more in sight
Waiting and peering towards the horizon
The conquerors have come to pillage and to slay

No time to wait, nowhere to run
Take up your sword, let the carnage fill the soil

Hear the sounds, see them approaching
Warcries from hell, blood freezes to ice
Marching closer, nowhere you can hide
No walls can keep them out, crushed by their force

Watch them with fear, the Northmen are here
Fighting with pride, the Gods at their side

Oh, when battle breaks out cant you hear their dying plead?
Oh, grant me a place by your side
As I die

Sun sets over the fields
And only the mourn of the wounded is to hear
An eerie silence fills the air
Crows search the field to feast on the remains

No time to mourn, take care of what is torn
Save our souls from the rage of the North

Oh, when battle breaks out can you hear their dying plead?
Oh, grant me a place by your side
As I die

No time to mourn, take care of what is torn
Save our souls from the rage of the North

Oh, when battle breaks out can you hear their dying plead?
Oh, grant me a place by your side
As I die

2. One Last Stand

Dreams filled with a message of things that is to come
Horrible visions appear before your eyes
Images revealing all the pain to endure
One last battle, one last chance to avoid destruction

Let the dreams lead you, the word is your guide

Heaven opens with a rumbling roar
Trumpets sound from the sky
The army of light is ready to fight back
Ready to make one last stand
The future of man

Vision lets you gaze deep down into the abyss
Terrible things are moving in the mist
See the dragon, the serpent and the fallen prophet
They are ready to strike

Let the dreams lead you, the word is your guide

Heaven opens with a rumbling roar
Trumpets sound from the sky
The army of light is ready to fight back
Ready to make one last stand
The future of man

For thousands of years, they misled the mind of man
Now their domination is over, the Lamb of God has come

Now behold a war, beginning of the end
The souls are free again, without bounds
The serpent forever lost in the burning sea
Never will it get free

Heaven opens with a rumbling roar
Trumpets sound from the sky
The army of light is ready to fight back

Ready to make one last stand
The future of man

3. Sacred Fire

Hear the steady pounding in the night
Smoke is rising from the anvil
Hammer strikes with power against the steel
Melt it down to harden once again

Let the sacred fire forever burn
Never let the steel get cold
Forge the weapons with his powers

Bolt of light
It flies fight across the sky, to strike
The Titan reign
All the might
To stand against the ones that seek, to find
The sacred fire

Knowledge was given to him and a gift
A holy fire, to burn in his forge
All the weapons he crafts cannot be destroyed
He's been chosen as the blacksmith of the Gods

Fire that will burn forever
Bless the weapons he's creating

Bolt of light
It flies to fight across the sky to strike
The Titan reign
All the might
To stand against the ones that seek to find
The sacred fire

Let the sacred fire forever burn
Never let the steel get cold
Forge the weapons with his powers

Bolt of light
It flies fight across the sky, to strike
The Titan reign
All the might
To stand against the ones that seek, to find
The sacred fire

4. Ferryman

A kingdom so dark, cold and condemned
A place without life
Where souls wander in solitude
Without finding peace

Looking over the river that flows so still and dark
Standing waiting, with gold in their hands
To pay the journey ahead

In silence rows the ferryman, across the river Styx
Once you're there in the land of the dead, you'll be forever gone

Kerberos the three-headed beast, guards the gate of the dead
The road is closed for those who live
Leave or you'll die

Dark as a shadow, Charon remains in his boat
The souls are leaving the shoreline
Soon they'll disappear

In silence rows the ferryman, across the river Styx
Once you're there in the land of the dead, you'll be forever gone

He knows, he has seen
The halls of the kingdom below
Soon they will be with Hades forevermore

In silence rows the ferryman, across the river Styx
Once you're there in the land of the dead, you'll be forever gone

5. Serpent Eyes

Driven by hatred, anger without control
Bitterness to all, she was betrayed
A beautiful mortal, envy took its toll
Suffer defeat, but vengeance is sweet

Hear the screams inside of the temple
Agony bound to her will
Frozen by fear as they turn into a stone
By the Gorgon with serpent eyes

Her beauty then was shattered, she turned into a beast
An image of hatred revealed
Hiding as an outcast, with a mind destroyed by rage
Slayer of all that stares in her eyes

Hear the screams inside of the temple
Agony bond to her will
Frozen by fear as they turn into stone
By the Gorgon with serpent eyes

A vision was foretold, a warrior would come
Sent by a mighty king, he was sent to kill
Thunder and rain echoed across the hills
The ground was stained with blood

The evil reign was ended, and yet the curse remains
The window of her soul never dies

Hear the screams inside of the temple
Agony bound to her will
Frozen by fear as they turn into stone
By the Gorgon with serpent eyes

6. Sons Of The North

Hail to the wind and hail to the waves
Pray to the Gods to keep us safe
We sail across the oceans, glory and battles we seek
Bringer of fear, the Northern wolves are here

And though we fight for glory far away
A distant voice we bear
It calls us, it's time to leave

Northern sky, with winds as cold as ice
We long to see you again
Stand with pride as we land upon the shores
We are home, we are Sons of the North

We're born to be warriors, battle is in our blood
With Gods on our side there's no fear
No storms will ever stop us, with dragon ships we sail
We're closing in, without fear

And though we fight for glory far away
A distant voice we hear
It calls us it's time to leave

Northern sky, with winds as cold as ice
We long to see you again
Stand with pride as we land upon the shores
We are home, we are Sons of the North

Far away in the distance
The coastline appears
All the things that remind us
Home is near

Northern sky, with winds as cold as ice
We long to see you again
Stand with pride as we land upon the shores
We are home, we are Sons of the North

7. In Search For Treasures, Stones And Gold

Over the widespread mountains
Without any paths to find
Still we must go there is no other way
To find what's hidden deep inside

Prepared for dangers ahead
The journey goes on over rocks over stones
Our greatest foe is fear
Spreading doubt and leads to mistakes

We know that we're not alone
Creatures lurk in the darkness below
Be cautious on your way
There are things that will harm you if they can

Full of courage we're moving on
Ready to fight what stands in our way
This is our life, this is what we do
In search for treasures, stones and gold

Set up the camp in a cleft so deep
In the light of the fires
Steel hitting the rocks
Working our way down to the ores

Keep what is found to yourself
Many are those with greed in their eyes
Spirits attracted to gold
Showing no mercy and steal what they need

Still the digging goes on
No time to waste, got too much to lose
Work as hard as you can
The faster you work, the sooner you leave this place

Full of courage we're moving on
Ready to fight what stands in our way
This is our life, this is what we do
In search for treasures, stones and gold

Oh, we search for metal to forge our steel
Oh, we craft the Mithril to armours
Oh, this is our life, this is what we do
Oh, in search for treasures, stones and gold

8. Coming Home

I've been travelling for long, through deserts and storms
Long way from home
All of those years, trapped in a land
So full of horror and fear

I was sent by the crown, protected by God
They told me we could never die
But so many friends would never get back
My eyes are filled with tears

Oh, as I sail cross the ocean
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home again
To you

They promised us gold, richness and pride
To conquer and rule the world
Too many lies, so many years
I never should have gone

Oh, as I sail cross the ocean
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home again
To you

A nightmare inside, people would die
All in the name of God

The battles went on, day after day
No one ever won
On the battlefields of hell

Oh, as I sail cross the ocean
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home again
To you

9. The Army Of Southerfell

Late was the evening, a midsummer's day
Everything was quiet and still
A farmhand busy working, but something caught his eyes
Scared him out of his mind

Spirits in the mist
Overtaken by fear

See the shades of those who died
Watching the army lines
March on and on
Crossing the hills without a sound
To suddenly vanish at the break of dawn

No one did believe him, he was called a fool
An oath he took to state the truth
To stop the crazy rumours, next midsummer's day
People came to see for themselves

Spirits in the mist
Not a word was spoken, they froze in fear

See the shades of those who died
Watching the army lines
March on and on
Crossing the hills without a sound
To suddenly vanish at the break of dawn

Centuries came and went, but still the legend lives on
The army of Arthur still march
On the hills of Souther Fell

See the shades of those who died
Watching the army lines
March on and on
Crossing the hills without a sound
To suddenly vanish at the break of dawn

10. Curse Of The Seven Seas

Watch the waves go by, upon the seven seas
Try to see the signs, to bring us safe ashore
Praying to the Gods to keep us all from harm
Fear the stories told, shivers down your spines

Bound by an oath, spirits to keep
Treason, deceit put a curse on the seas

Oh, shallow grave
One debt is to pay before the end
Serve one hundred years
As part of the crew and a part of the ship

Sail across the storms, avoid he treacherous streams
Wind is roaring, tears down the sails
Better say your prayer, death is close at hand
The lockers calling, soon you will die

Bound by an oath, spirits to keep
Treason, deceit put a curse on the seas

Oh, shallow grave
One debt is to pay before the end
Serve one hundred years
As part of the crew and a part of the ship

Oh, one debt is to pay before the end
Oh, the curse of the seven seas

Oh, shallow grave
One debt is to pay before the end
Serve one hundred years
As part of the crew and a part of the ship

11. Let Your Spirit Fly

Wake up to find that you cannot move
Trapped inside your mind
Struggling in pain, you're trapped in this cell
Imprisoned by a ghostly hand

Oh, twisting shadows illusions
Oh, getting close to insanity

When you're gone, away in the dream
Something haunts your soul
Take control, and set yourself free
Let your spirit fly

Trying to see, but eyes can deceive
And words abandon you
Pointless to scream, cause no one will hear
Silence blinds you

Oh, twisting shadows illusions
Oh, getting close to insanity

When you're gone, away in the dream
Something haunts your soul
Take control, and set yourself free
Let your spirit fly

12. God Of War

Bloodshed is what he desires
And lead great armies out to die
Born to be wise, but chose the way of pain
To conquer without mercy, with spear in his hand

Driven by desire to kill
With rage and senseless violence
Wherever a battle took place, he pushed them to fight
Brutality and slaughter, no mercy to give

Strong in his will, the throne is in sight
Claim your destiny
The yearning to fight angered the gods
And caused bad blood in their hearts

God of war, he lives for the kill
Hear the warriors calling his name
Tears the skin of maimed and slain
His way of getting his thrill

Until the day when Athena appeared
To stop her brother's thirst for war
The bitterness between the two created the battle of Troy

Many wars were led by their feud
And many more to come
And way up high, in the home of the Gods
His eyes still search for battles and blood

God of war, he lives for the kill
Hear the warriors calling his name
Tears the skin of maimed and slain
His way of getting his thrill

Ares, the bringer of pain

Oh, God of War
