For God and Glory
05:32

Follow your honour and fight by your Father
In Battle find Glory, find Glory in Death
Keep hold of your sword as the ground drinks your blood
Dead on the field, you will find what you seek
The Golden Gates open, the valkyrje fly
The souls of the slain ride into the Hall
The King of the Gods bids a welcome to all:
"Brothers, stand tall, for the end comes soon."
Comrades in arms, the valiant heroes of old
Battle by daylight and feast by the moon
Lords of the Lore of the World and its Ways
Knowing the Days to come, so dark
Each firm in his purpose, they'll fight to the last
The virtuous einherjar, fearsome and bold
The Wrath of the Gods kept their judgment at bay
Till their Last Day, when Men shall fall
On the field of Ragnarok we stand
Our warcry echoes to the stars
Many a battle we've fought to reach this land
This will be our last
Face to face with the armies of the South
Death and bloodshed rule this day
The Horn is sounded, the charge is begun
Our strength will be undone
Fight for God and Glory
Die for God and Glory

Ages of Darkness

Sail over windswept seas
To the lands that lie in the East
To the realm of that ancient kind
That once was mine
Fly over peaks of might
Over sands stretching through the night
To the Sun we will ride at last
To reveal our past
Suns that have shone on me
That have fed what it is to be
My life I will live for you
In pursuit of the final Truth
War has been brought on God
By the men who forgot their lot
See how evil takes over all
Damned we are, held in their thrall
Though all blameless souls
Ages of Darkness rise
Building up, on to the skies
But Babel will fall again
In the coming End
Suns that have lost their gleam
Stars that died and have ceased to be
In your name we will fight, renewed
On we march; see the darkness through
Ages of Darkness

King of the Blade
15:58

The boy was born to mother torn
A crime put forward between two kins
And so he grew without Father
Unwanted in his hometown
He struck out, fame of his to found
To 'void the fate of another
There on the road he met the Wizard
Robe of white and ring and crown
He stood no higher than his shoulder
The great man bent and whispered low,
Said "son, your Kingdom, greatly though,
Will soon be greater for your hold there"
The wizard he talked through the night
Of wonders to come at first light
Upon the quest with little rest
The boy was thrust unto the man
To reap reward of his bloodline
No seconds lost, against all cost
The man must rise to claim the land
Or else the darkness will entwine
The magic burning, wizard yearning
To reveal the mysteries
Of myth and history
But on the eve of learning's
Sweet reprise, the wizard meets Demise
His soul is sundered from its charge
The boy, he heard in the wind
The voice of the wizard again
"There'll be nowhere where you'll walk alone
Until Arthur is sat on His throne."
Now on his own, but fully grown,
Young Arthur works to reclaim his throne
And strives to merger all his land
The great, the good, the wooded hood,
The druids and drihten collect where he stood
He calls the Kingdom to his hand
Amongst the throng, he hears the song
Of brothers brave and true and strong,
The Knights who pay him their homage
And so we hear the clarion clear
The Knights of Arthur now appear
To free the people from bondage
The quest takes on a new hue
The ancestor's sword is now due
He will take up the blade by his hand
He will take it to defend his land
Out on the field with fellows fair
The fabled Arthur leads to the lair
Of Morgan, witch of wide-run fame
She takes a look, and from a nook
Removes a worn and weary book
She casts a spell to find true aim
There in the darkness of the cave
The magic opens like a wave,
It shines a spear-beam to the east
And there the brothers find the lake
And from the waters now awake
The magic blade is released
The sword, she calls out your name
And the ancestors whisper your fame
Now that you have been given the Sword
You are truly our Sovereign Lord
[The Knights who joined him confirmed their adherence to his law,
And set up a great meeting place near that space,
And all came freely, free men, to fight for justice and peace in the land,
{And to offset the tides of darkness that swept in from all sides}]
----------------------------------
Warnings
Of Ash and Fire
Burning into the
Mornings
Around the Sacred Court
Portents
Of Darkness Dire
Drawing out through the
Dawning
Of Evil in their hearts...
The war was wrought without a reason
The rhyme was wrent without a word
The way was lost and all a-sundered
The days of death incurred
The blow was struck without a weapon
The day was left without a dawn
The life was lost from mighty Arthur
The noble warriors mourned
The knights now ride to work the wonder
To find the Grael of the Earth
To gain the favour of the Mother
And uphold their sacred worth
----------------------------------
Now victory won, the fabled son,
He stands in silence - deed is done,
The healing power has begun...
No room to wait, now never late,
The charge of Arthur's at the gates,
He knows the song that must be sung
Without a word, a gift unfurled,
The might of magic heals the world -
The way of truth and power's heard
The soul and source of our King
Resounds through rod and crown and ring
Our mighty Arthur has returned...
The Kingdom prepares for a war...
They will suffer the darkness no more...
Now on to war with comrades four,
The Bright King balely beats back the
Black, the Knight of Error and Evil Ways
Their armies charge, the soil groans,
The magic of life-love beneath 'gins to moan,
The Earth remembers brighter days
The Great Lord Arthur straddles his pride
And lifts his blade unto the sky
He calls the Cosmos to our aid
And down from Heaven above, the Light of Love
Begets the Son thereof, and
Never shall the debt be paid
The darkness lost to the light
Our King sailed away in the night
Tell me Arthur is King of this land...
Tell me he will defend by his hand...

Fly, heavy metal!
Metal is stronger than flesh...
Dive through the battle -
Tear down my foes to their death
Cold striking power -
Enemies fall at my side!
Dark is the hour,
I will not rest till I've died
Forces surround me -
One against one I will fight!
Slay all their champions,
Death and destruction and plight!
Go
To the Way of the One
In Death become
The Unending Son
Your Way has to be won...

Rites of the Wolf
06:59

And lo, a vision came
A wearied son with a broadsword to his name,
Down from the withered lane
To the feasting hall - we proclaimed him to the Thane
"He is the son of a Dane -
Let him vie for his fame"
The elders found him the next day...
[First Elders]
"What more of mettle-born?
You warriors kill, leaving
Love-lost hearts forlorn!"
[Second Elders]
"But more of eldritch scorn -
A monster creeps, and for
Murder we do mourn..."
[The Thane]
"To the quest you are sworn
You will take out this thorn!"
The warcry echoed to the stars!
"With fire and strength of force
The Sacred Winds
Will keep me to my course
By dawn the foetid source
Of evil here
Will flee before my force!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Ride through the valleys...
Over the plains...
[The Dane]
With fleet horse and saddled force
The boys and I do beg
The wisdom of wood and weir
To bless our shields and stem our fear
To guide a way to the edge of day
Where terrors lurk in dread
Across the fields of mortal men
To lands where peace and war will come again
[The Troupe]
Ho, good derwydd of the field -
Raise our souls to see
The ways of will and righteous force
That lead us to good deeds!
[The Druid]
The road will be long, but your hearts strong
The power is with you
The blessing I bring from the Earth-Mother
Keeps your steel true
Vessels of Evil will lurk in the darkened woods ahead
But nothing will keep back your force until the beast is dead
Into the deep woods...
Killers in black hoods...
[The Dane]
The dark dale of grim-feared death
Where souls are wont to flee
My brothers ride with fiersome eyes
To quell the demon seed
Savage warriors of the weald
With fury in their pride
We warriors twelve, of gilded breast-plates -
Into hell we ride!
The time has come to ride on out,
Meet the foe - fight friend to fiend
If you want to know what glory is,
Then come and ride with me!
[The Druid]
Your people await with their breath bated, praying for your win
So now you must ride to the wilderness - fight for your kin!
[The Will]
Never again shall you rest for all the ill laid on your course
Until you can find and destroy the tormentor with great force...
(Ride till Death!)
{The Fight}
[The Dane]
Before I will die, I will take the evil beast and end his life
Nothing will stop me from destroying evil in its prime
The Ways of the Gods and the Ancestors lead me to my win
I will die and defend my ever-living kin!
(Rites of the Wolf...)

Master, Master
What is the sound of that
Baying, Baying
Your hounds have just captured my
White Deer, White Deer
Know you the price of such
Poaching? Poaching...
Your life is now forfeit!
Within the reach of mighty Arawn you will tread
And now you will come to the Land of the Dead...
Master, Master
Spare now the fate of your
Friend King, Friend King
Who means you no harm but is
Worthy, Worthy
To take up a quest of your
Pleasing, Pleasing
Let deed beat back death...
Into your hands I commend my noble Kingdom -
Take by one strike the life of my foe...
Ways made of wandering
Days dreamt in dawning
Echoes of life
Winds made of warping
Dark shadows clawing
Wanderers in time
Fly through the mind-way
Break through to fine day
Marvels abound
Gates made of wonder
In earth-tide no longer
The Otherworld is found
Wonders, Wonders
Wonders of myth and of
Mystery, Mystery
This land is suffused with the
Magic, Magic
And all of its people live
Freely, Freely
In the Land of the Gods...
Of all your gifts, there is none which is the finest,
But spare now the sanctity of thy wife!
Fell day, Fell day
The day of the combat
Approaches, 'Proaches,
The onlookers pray for a
Fair fight, Fair fight
While I seek the death of this
Fell Wight, Fell Wight!
Let blood now be spilled -
Into your helm I compel my mortal broadsword
Take now the strike that will end your life!
Axe in the shieldwood
Spear where once foot stood
Circling in war
Crash of the titans
Flight of the adroit ones
Carnage and more
Call of the Crow King,
Clash of my blade sing -
Slice through the air
Now hear my name, dread;
"Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed"
Now you are dead!
Fade into memory...
Book-keepers tend me...
Let me not die...
Hear my heart's cry...
Fade into memory,
Book-keepers tend me -
Let me not die...
Sing of my victory
Let young ones reveal me
Hear my heart's cry...
