The New Shadow
06:28
|

Lying in the dark
Unclad, as the fog
Fills the black trees
Cold escaping through the damp earth
Gnawing away
Haunting silhouettes
Swept in black
Leering under the gibbous moon
Oh, stygian figures
Lying in the interstice
Not alive nor dead
The shadows approach
To ascend me
Under thunderous sky and gibbous moon
I now make my flight
Towards the dark sea
Home of the new lords
Home of the new lords
There is so much that we have yet
Yet to see
Held by the blinding church
Under lock and key
Lords of the deep stygian sea
Cure us of our beastly idiocy
|

2. |

Cast away and forgotten
Imperfect beings of light
Exiled forever to despair
Our Elven descent
Locked away by our kin
We were not right
Our orcish sickness too cold
Oh, how I’ve grown
To despise the Light
And embrace the Dark
One day
We’ll take back
Lorien
Under cover of Night
Fueled by the Dark
We’ll snuff out
The Age of Elves
And usher in
The age of Orc

Forbidden Arcane
07:57
|

This whaling village
Its people were cursed
With endless thirst
When the waning moon hung low
They all turned
Their skins greenish and translucent
Their bodies covered with scales
Their toes and hands webbed
Their necks developed gills
Their backs fins
Their teeth sharp as needles
Their brains filled with eyes
At last
Sorcerers arrived in Arkha
To search the villagers for eyes and brains
Scratching their skulls for eyes
Oh, the forbidden arcane
Brewing the ingredients in cauldron
Like filthy witches
They recited the words of the spell
All lusting in their hearts
For the power of the Great Ones
They consumed their potions
Waiting for their ascension
Yet their vessels crumbled
Under the power of the Great Ones

Plânsul Unei Stafii
05:10
|

[Romanian - original]:
În amurgul morții mele
Străbat
Meleaguri sterpe
Fără esență
Păduri uscate
Fără magie
Ape secate
Fără cântec
Văi de mult pustii
Fără pericol
Lumină malefică
Și perfidă
Mai bine că am murit
In sfârșit
Voi pleca
Însă lumina va păli
Iar porțile se vor deschide
În curând
[English - translation]:
In the dusk of my death
I wander
Bare plains
Without essence
Dead forests
Without magic
Dried waters
Without song
Valleys empty since long ago
Without danger
Evil light
And deceitful (perfid = disguising itself as something good)
Better that I'm dead
Finally
I will leave
But the light will fade away
And the gates will open
Soon

The Black Swordsman
05:40
|
|||
I wander alone,
Wielding a Greatsword,
Like a large hunk of metal,
That absorbs the filth
Which I cleanse
Every bloody night.
From every forest and valley
Village and town.
Mad men, beasts, and apostles,
Cut down by my sword,
With ease.
The 100-man slayer,
Knowing no sorceries
No magic
Only the way of the sword
I bear the mark of sacrifice
Destined to be preyed upon
By all beasts of the Eclipse
That roam under the night skies
Foolish bloody vermin
Come forth
Come forth to your demise
Tormented by voices
Endlessly
I hunt alone in the night
Seeking for apostles
That shall lead me to
The hawk of light
That ushered in the Eclipse
The one that took away past and chance
The cause of my eternal struggle

The Tower Beyond the Fog
08:21
|
|||
On our journey across the Fog
Hopelessly immense and vast
The light licks our souls
Our hopeless decrepit souls
The fog whispers and flaunts
Unattained desires and dreams
Impenetrable mist hiding
The Tower beyond the Fog
That shrines the Light
Twisting and churning reality
Purveyor of our false
Hopes and dreams
Do not let yourself seduced
Our true journey lies far beyond
To the stars
Hail
Hail to the Stars
Hail to the Moon
Hail to the Dark
Hail to the Impure
Hail to the Shadow
On our journey beyond the Fog
So perilous and bleak
Yet rewarding forever more
Uncover the secrets
And whispers of
The Tower beyond
Abolish the Light
Cast it far away
Do not tremble in front
Of its fleshy delights
Our true journey lies far beyond
To the stars.
