Drift Away
04:10
|

Live your life without question
An empty hollow existence
Fail to observe and analyze
Examine, rationalize, justify
It's just the same thing every day
Carry out your tasks like a drone
No meaning, nothing at all
I hope your structure falls
Chorus:
Now I will drift away to the place I am free
I reject this mundane existence, reality
Such pointless monotony, I prefer my fantasy
Just a speck of nothingness, life devoid of a purpose
There is no rhyme or reason
No answer to my questions
Some people just don't give a shit
Content with this banality
I prefer life with meaning
A life that can't be found
So I invent it in my head
And get the fuck away from here
Chorus
Solo

Quest For Glory
04:35

Ride, ride away into the night
Into the glorious fight
With fire burning in our eyes
And no fear that we may die
Sworn to an oath, a brotherhood that we fight for
With honor to gain, but no rewards, nothing more
Selfless and righteous is the cause for which we now fight
I raise my sword up high
Chorus:
Ride! Fight! Kill! Die!
No more time to run or hide
Now that that battle is done
And victory has been won
Back home we will ride
And mourn our comrades that died
Place his sword and helm beside the mound
Atop the hill, our newly conquered ground
A monument to his infinite memory
And the price of glory
Chorus
On the snowy plains of the north awaits our destiny
Long journey awaits, our fate 4,000 miles across the sea
Back to the home of the Vikings we sail as brothers in arms
And in our true home awaits a new glorious dawn
In this new land lies the key to finding ourselves
Tear ourselves free from the shackles and the fires of hell
Slaying the demons who banish the light with the power bestowed upon me
Free from them now and off to a land where I can live free

Cryptic Prophecy
05:56
|
|||
Fire will rain down from the sky
Igniting the earth, leaving the land barren
Clouds of ash fill the air
The ground left completely bare
Armageddon has come
Chorus:
Unearthly fires come to scorch the earth
As the cryptic prophecy has foretold
Now as the end draws near
Human hearts are filled with fear
The stench of death fills the air
Total chaos has prevailed
Solo
Chorus

The Other Side
05:12
|
|||
All this struggle has been in vain
Nothing remains, nothing but pain
And uncontrollable fucking rage
With every breath, closer is death
Tired of it all, it's fucking war
I'm not gonna take it anymore
How I long to make you cry
And by my hand you'll fucking die
Chorus:
Life fades away
Vision turns grey
My soul's gone black
No turning back
Countdown to the end, it has begun
And what I must do, it will be done
I know that soon my life will fade
As I grow weaker every day
Now I see the other side
The place I will go when I die
But on that journey I will be joined
And taking you will be my greatest joy
Chorus
Come with me to the other side
Solo

Into the Abyss
06:10
|
|||
I have become the demon
And I have destroyed the world
I have become immortal
At the cost of my own soul
Chorus:
Now my life has passed me by
My regrets flash before my eyes
Please god just let me die
Doomed to suffer eternal life
With the world in barren ruins
There is nowhere that I can turn
No one with whom to share my pain
Alone for the rest of my days
And now I realize
The demon inside
Cannot be defeated
My journey to the abyss is now complete
Chorus
Solo
