Cold beauty of winter Can you hear, can you hear them? Can you hear, can you hear them calling? Ancient, ancient wisdom Spoken from voices on the cold breeze Called forth, called forth, called forth Faces, faces, faces of ancestors bound to you Are you with us, are you hearing? We weather this storm, watching and waiting Cold winds blowing, the trees are dancing Strong we stand, yet quiet, listening Can, can you not hear them? Listen, they are speaking to you, always Close your eyes, can you not still see them? See them, standing right before you, always There are, there are voices, voices, voices on the cold breeze Snow slowly falls through this cathedral, this cathedral of trees The cold beauty of winter, of winter, unending The cold beauty of winter The cold beauty of winter

The Raven returns to the Knoll! In the seething masses I drown Pulled down by greed in need of solid ground Driving faster, racing the gloom I must escape from this quickly-closing tomb Fleeing this city, this nightmare, bereft of hope Towards freedom, untying this tightening noose's rope Dark behind, new day ahead Sun rises, behold a horizon bathed in red To a forest of my own, to a place I call my home To my people, to my tribe, I return now to the Knoll Past the places, the landmarks I go Faster I drive to find the me I used to know One more mile, just one more bend One more hill, there it is, the light at the end See the sign sitting upon the hill Past the ravens who sit and watch, ever still Down the path, relief at last To the forest, to once and for all forget my past To a forest where I roam To a place I call my home To rekindle the fire turned to coal I return now to the Knoll To see my people, smiling faces To see them running through the trees To see them dancing by the fire I return now to the knoll To a forest where I roam, to a place I call my home To my people, to my tribe, I return now to the Knoll To see my brothers, swords in hand To see my sisters, axes raised high To see them laughing as the blade drops I return now to the knoll Shields hammered, helmets shine bright Till the coming of the most sacred twilight Hundreds dancing, drumming non-stop Fire burning till the last person drops To a forest where I roam, to a place I call my home To my people to my tribe, I return now to the Knoll See them dancing in the twilight See them dancing every single night See them dancing in the twilight See them fading with the coming light…

A Thousand Paths to Wisdom Breath in the storm without, the powers within only lost in doubt Strength to find, wisdom to know, plant a seed and watch it grow Stare inward, see fears disguise, clear your mind, enemy dies Pierce your weakness, feel it fade away, all you have given, taken back today I have lived amongst the scum, found kinship with my hurt I have drunk of the poison, I have wallowed in the dirt I have walked in your cities, I have lived in the grey I have dug my own grave but that is not where I will stay I have walked through great mountains, in brightest of day I have heard the wolves howl, while above ravens play I have walked through your cities, I have found a better way I tell you there is more, you can just walk away You can just walk away Find a place where you belong, find a place that makes you strong The way ahead will be long but that does not mean the direction is wrong A thousand paths before you, you will find yours in time I will not tell you which is which, yours is a different path than mine A thousand paths before you, you will find yours in time I will not tell you which is which, yours is a different path than mine Let the past fade away Let it fade A thousand paths before you, you will find yours in time I will not tell you which is which, yours is a different path than mine A thousand paths before you, you will find yours in time I will not tell you which is which, yours is a different path than mine

Beware the Outstretched Hand There’s a place that I go A place that nobody knows Hidden away, deep inside In this darkness I hide Follow me down, you’ll find a beast in a cage Wild eyes, it hasn’t eaten in days I don't know what to do... But it likes you Hello there, my good friend, It’s good to see you again Hello there, my trusted friend, Can you lend me a hand?

Upon the Wings of Valkyries Surrounded by his kin, watching them dying to defend Honour to have served, he feels pride now at the end Regret flashes in his eyes, but he knows what’s done is done One small mistake and the sword plunged into his lung Leaning against an old oak, staring at the light shining through the trees Gently the snow falls down, upon his face a nice cold breeze From grievous wounds the blood start to spill, a slowly-flowing heat The world now starts to fade, his heart slows its beat His eyes start to close, yet more clearly now he sees The woman walking towards him, through the gaps in the trees She walks through the fray, there but unseen Always now before him, though his body starts to lean Her smile’s just for him, her eyes glow with light Pride now swells within him, for he has longed for this sight His fate written upon the wind by the Norns long before This death was meant to be, this was to be his last war Fallen in battle, his body broken and torn Upon the wings of the Valkyries, he rises reborn Upon the wings of the Valkyries, he rises reborn, Einherjer! Stepping upon the Bifrost Bridge, to the sound of his ancestors’ cheers Greeting he who holds the horn, who he’s walked beside all these years Through the Hall of Five Hundred Doors to the table of plenty Handed a horn of mead that will never be empty The Warrior believed what the Norseman knew The Valkyries had come for his friends and they would come for him too Einherjer! Rise! Einherjer! Rise! A child is born For a moment the Halls go quiet Its cries are music to his ears A great pride fills him And his eyes fill with tears Life is not easy for the child Many enemies are made Grown strong of will and wild Married to the blade She trains by herself, yet she is never alone She hears the voice of her father and the way before her is shown One day she will be called upon and the horn will be blown One day she will be called upon for she has a spirit of stone A spirit of stone
