Dolmen Gate

The rain pours at midnight as ancients foretold
The full moon brightens the symbols engraved
Once the border is crossed, one turns to a tale
And mortals (are) forgotten once crossed the Dolmen Gate

Rest in Flames
04:08
|
|||
|
Death is the threat sent down from above
And our life is just trifling without those we love
I know blasphemous chants will echo down the hall
Until we’re free from the oppression of the landlord ghouls
I feel the qualm on the blade of the hammer
Our cavalry will ride to tear down his manor
Then we’ll share spoils and drink from the skull of the romans…
Chorus:
No force can seal
No blacksmith can forge our fate
Aeminium
Will rest in flames
We tell the story of forgotten blood shed
Brothers lost in the fray, rivers turned red
Our boulders have witnessed the horrors of this war
Come tomorrow gods and lords shall sleep forevermore!
I feel the qualm on the blade of the hammer
Our cavalry will ride to tear down his manor
In these fields of eternity there’s revenge waiting forever…
Repeat Chorus

The Oath
05:19
|
|||
|
From the top of the mountain, I watch the valley below
On the horizon ominous clouds announce the storm to come
Bent and crooked, I descend aware of a fleeting shadow
A ghostly presence, a dark freezing chill only felt by some
Chorus:
I’m reaching the end
But I stand defiant of my fate
Let my old will defend
My oath to never (be) subjugated
I knew my road would lead me to the centre of damnation
Far goes my journey and the last time it shall be
Sorrow wraps me in its arms, for I give death no adulation
Only my relentless fate can set me free
Repeat Chorus
I feel that cold embrace
The reaper breathes down my neck
Displays my fate like a tarot deck
The evil is in my mind, I was dead inside
Repeat Chorus

Chambers of Magic
04:04
|
|||
|
As the winds of south were raging
The sun had departed for night.
I left in my cursed endeavour,
Oblivious to my plight
I have invoked the masters name,
This shall be the day he will appear.
Down from the mountains the elders came,
Waving dark spells of freezing fear
Chorus:
The human kingdom is crumbling
You are doomed to the underworld
There’s no 666, there´s no river Styx
There’s just an eternal war on men
As the chambers of magic unfold
Beyond the veil of darkness
They take the great hall in a blinding flash,
healing all the blindness
Visions of darkness, just skin and bone
A curse on our people like never before
Hell is our fate!
And our wrath the executioners
Repeat Chorus

The Wheel
04:58
|
|||
|
Washed the trail to an end
Snake and tail that unify
We are tied to the afterlife.
In a journey of weep and wail.
I’ve crossed the Fenian cycle
A season's guide to the endless skies
Oh how can I defy?
You’ll be here long after I die.
Chorus:
This Night - is black as coal,
A sword - will claim my soul
I Stand - fierce untamed
Blessed is my journey to the otherworld!
Warriors of a forgotten time
Whose deeds were written in blood and fire
Almighty Fionn your deeds were fair
Your druids wielded powers beyond compare.
Calling forth the magic of the earth,
Communing with the spirits of the air
I demand to cross the river Boyne
Don’t let me drown in despair!

Retribution
05:23
|
|||
|
Hear, they call us, our time is now,
To avenge the dishonour that befell Iceni
I shall summon East Anglia to fulfil its destiny
For tomorrow everyone will hear
The blasphemy against the romans
I shall summon East Anglia and lead the new lands
Pre-Chorus:
Calling my troops from my throne chariot
Despoil and burning, the enemy in hell shall rot
Chorus:
There’s Morrigan guiding us
And my king seeks retribution
Proud, upright and defiant I stand
The throne must return to its righteous hand
As the acrid smoke came creeping towards me
I feel in my mouth the taste of malevolence
And the searing heat of Boudicca’s revenge
Behold the display of war and destruction
To conquer our land is the IMPETUS
To draw the avenging sword!
Repeat Pre-Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Behold the display of war and destruction
To conquer our land is the IMPETUS
To draw the avenging sword!
Repeat Chorus

Horizon's Call
06:14
|
|||
|
Oh mighty waves, rushed to meet shore,
Guide this journey I implore.
A distant isle, where dread await,
Where fates entwine and hopes are sate.
I set sail, heart full of fire,
For this journey, I'll never tire.
With billowing sails and wind at my back,
I'll brave the storms and never crack.
Chorus 1:
Sail on sailor, to the horizon's call,
With heart ablaze and spirit tall.
Brave the winds and ride the tide,
To reach the shore where dread resides.
For glory calls, and dreams I hold,
Onward I go, my heart bold.
With ocean's roar and embrace,
I'll chart my course with steadfast grace.
God of the sea, Poseidon’s call,
Let the winds and tides be kind,
Guide me to that distant shore,
And dreams of old will forever soar!
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
Sail on sailor, to the distant isle,
With tales untold and wonders to compile.
For the journey is the prize,
And to reach the shore is to reach the skies.
For as the great poets once said,
"To sea, to life, for all that's led".
And I set forth to find,
The woe and wonders of the mind.
Repeat Chorus 1

Betrayal
07:53
|
|||
|
The shouts echoed at night
Cold blades slaughtered our neighbours
Through the alleys we flight
Treason came from our saviours
Helplessness puts its weight
On the dagger we wield
God turned his back on our faith
We resist, but our fate is sealed
Chorus:
Betrayal
Suffering awaits those who believe
Godless
Alone we stand, no more sins to confess
They see us as their enemy
But we’re demeaned by our kin
Alone we face our destiny
Will they pay for their sin?
They burned our houses and lives
And the fire lit our despair
Through the meadows we ride
If we survive, our souls died there
Repeat Chorus
No lord can guide me through oblivion
A distant memory where our lives have crept
See as we now melt to rivers of death
Doomed by swords forged in our own lands
While some weak souls pray for death
Wrath fuels our glorious overturning
Until the last of the embers cease burning!
The blood moon will lead our way
