Spilman

I draw my bow, in one great swing
And pull it slow across the strings
‘cause in these halls, with my last breath
I’ll sing to you the song of death
Hear my final requiem
a cadence cowards would condemn
Hear my nocturne of the end
A ballad that the brave commend
My gilded tongue will spur them on
and loyalty will keep us strong
my melodies disturb their peace
and will drown out their hopeless pleas
and when my song is finally done
none live to see the rising sun
and when we all are dead and gone
who will sing the poets song?
I’m the spilman
And I’m singin’
Of your final days
So sing with me
And just maybe
They’ll sing a song for you someday

Over mountains
Through frosted hillsides
Nordic twilight
Arctic sunrise
Breathing cold air
Bearing cold steel
Spilling warm blood
On wintry battlefields
The land where we stand divides
And death comes from the skies
He shouts with the power to shake the aurora
A man from the north who was born on the snow
The flesh of a man and the blood of a dova
The will of a warrior, a hero arose.
Through the cold earth
Where ancient dead lie
To the highest peak
To hear the greybeards’ cry
To the ruins
To find the key of time
To the afterlife
To fight for mankind
A wind from the north
Will carry my voice
A throat from the south
Will harbor my shout

Ruins of Remorse
05:44
|

Don’t fear the man behind the curtain
But rather fear what’s inside the man
A man’s intentions for us all is certain
A man’s intentions for himself is grand
The Novelty is gone, now we’re left to weather
Like a standing stone in the ruins of remorse
The subtlety is done, now we’re lost forever
Like a current in a river that flows against its source
Where once the rain fell upon the soil
Now soot and ashes are strewn about
Inside the man there hides the seeds of evil
And from within his skin the darkness will sprout

Mausoleum
06:52
|

The stone is cold against my cheek
Where I lay down tonight to sleep
To lay beside where justice died
My father lies eternally
Cut down by men consumed with greed
Who meant to take all that he owned
But here it lies along with me
Beneath these meager walls of stone
Here I lie, at my father’s grave
In the Mausoleum
They took his life, but I’ll save his pride
In the Mausoleum
They came at night to break the walls
Without a respite for the dead
I stabbed my steel into the black
and pulled it back and it was red
I saw the look of fear that turned
To anger after their surprise
My father fought these men alone
But now I’ll fight them by his side
Here I lie, at my father’s grave
In the Mausoleum
They took his life, but I’ll save his pride
In the Mausoleum
Now I'll fly, from my father’s side
In the Mausoleum
To find the men, and exact revenge
Save the Mausoleum!

Free to Fall

Fear
I let it take ahold of me
In this place…
Where God
Gently turns the other cheek
To look away…
And Death
Looms above like a guide
Oh so old…
And Life
Looms behind me like the lies
I never told…
As I descend into hell
the place where the greatest of angels dwells
I’ll take the greatest of man in me
To rise above just to fall again free
Strength!
I let it grow inside of me
It feeds my will…
I’ll rise!
Through the bleak, blood canopy
To reach the hill…
Where I
At the peak survey them all
With pitied eyes
Souls
Who so morosely chose to fall
Or couldn’t rise…
Pray, pray your lives away, ‘cause the price of faith
Is a life in chains
To be saved is to be enslaved, when it’s all a game
That we’re taught to play
