The snow flies from the mountain And the wind blows cold Shadows fade into the night Will we remember Those solemn words were spoken Forever bound until the end My journey so important All love ones are forsaken A sacrifice for my sins Will I find what I’m looking for? Those roses in the fields Can I hold on ‘til the end The wind sings to me And carries death in its song The sky screams out A shift in reality On to another world Can we escape this alive? So many dead and gone We’re slowly running out of time The shadows come alive And our fate is sealed In an instant they are gone A fate to echo Throughout eternity? Will our journey ever end?

Jericho Hill 06:58
On a distant hill he stands alone He stands here with a heart of stone Off to the battle we will go So far away from our home City of ghosts, consumed by the desert Overwhelmed and taken by the darkness A heart of evil, lays waste to the land A land that won’t be conquered Blow the horn of eld, and let the steel rain Into the fight they ride, vengeance in their hearts Will it be enough to guide them and brave their darkest day? Can the ghosts of home help them to survive on Jericho Hill? Betrayed by their own, and a thousand to one A last chance to save this shattered world As his friends die around him and all hope is lost In one last breath they charge across the killing ground
3.
In this village hidden in the valley The smoke slowly rises from the rooftops A lone girl emerges at the break of dawn And follows the path down to the water’s edge A dark desire She’s born again A soul now taken Her life it fades at the river’s edge In the shadows across the river it awaits a figure moving closer, a girl alone An innocent life randomly cast away As possession begins her life force it slowly drains As the sun sets, she’s drawn to the mountain Above the clouds, set into the glacier side The gates they open as she approaches And close behind her as a legend’s born
4.
Above the mountain the clouds gather As the last light it fades Guardians reflect the moonlight As she emerges through the gates Cast from the witch's spell Sentinels carved in stone As her shadow reaches over Fallen warriors in the snow Hair of crimson, eyes of fire Possessed by the ancient one She’s been awakened and now she lives again Harvester of souls Their life essence wont escape Now her eyes burn with power As the warriors fade away The storm erupts And the mountain shakes Sounds of laughter fill the night And when the morning finally comes All is peaceful in the light For centuries she sleeps Only to be awaken again So many souls lost to temptation
5.
Caught in the machine No hope, a victim of birth In her eyes he finds a way To a path of salvation Through the gates we walk And stare in disbelief Can this really be the way? To a path of damnation A child rises from his innocence To find the cold heart of humanity Will he ever live to see the end of this pain? Or survive the darkness of war? And as he stares Hands held up to the gates As the rain falls This steel will bend to me On the road to home His mind it will not rest His pathway is littered with bones The lives of his countrymen
6.
The waves crash the shore As the moon starts to rise Our last meal is taken Fires burn on the beach And light our ships in the water Is this our last night alive? The battle cries of our Warriors echo through the fields The voices of our fallen fill the halls of Valhalla We sail on the morning tide A last look at our loved ones No words can be spoken A bitter wind it chills us As we lose sight of our homeland Do we ride these seas to our death? Rise up tide and carry us away For distant lands to their rocky shores Sail away, this ocean becomes our home We will return as conquerors From this sea of conquest As we reach the island Fear fades away As we enter the battle We pillage the Abby’s For our homes across the sea This day will be ours
7.
In this world where a haze shrouds the sun And the ash is forever falling A grey world barely hanging on With a mist that seems alive Into the fight, she charges into battle With her daggers rising high Their voices cry out and echo through the mist In the dark they fight and die All that we are tonight Is shrouded in chaos All that we see tonight An end to the final empire In this world where a haze shrouds the sun And the ash forever falls A grey earth barely hanging on With a mist that is alive
8.
We ride through the ages With gods on our side On terra we fall With fire in our hearts We’re trapped on this world In our own reality And no god or man Can stop their armies now Forged in Fire Weapons for the gods The sounds of pounding steel Son of Hera Born of unjust gods Cast to the ocean Not meant to live Far from the heavens To the islands of earth One day he’ll return With a vengeance in his heart Forged in fire Weapons for the gods The sounds of pounding steel Cast from the heavens A god born to serve The fires Of Olympus All will know his fury As he ascends upon the gods A thunder shakes the sky And the heavens fall away Return to the heavens With vengeance in his heart Rise the golden throne She’s Frozen in time Returning below With only thoughts of pain The smoke it rises From the mountains of earth
