lyrics

Where is the rider?
Where is the drum?
Where is the kingdom, what has the land become?
Lost in the shadows;
The trappings of fear
A king paralysed by a mind made unclear
The golden hall is rotting
The cobwebs shall grow
The glory days of ages past buried by the snow
Where is our leader?
What has he become?
Where are the riders; we all fall one by one

We stand alone now
No aid from friends of old
No salvation from elvenkind; no men from northern cold
A treacherous road we walk now
To find that crumbling keep
A place in which we cannot hide, cannot escape defeat
The horror marches onward
Those demons from our fears
Courage cannot stand and fight; this doom of men is clear
Spears shall be broken
Shields shall break and fall
Bodies ripped and bodies torn; the ending of us all

Arrows fly in darkness
Death rains from the air
The tears of heaven falling down, echoing despair
The fires of the new world
Cast apart the old
Warfare like none ever dreamed; these horrors are untold

We stand together, facing the horror
Holding our steel to fight the terror
Marching forever till my dying day
Evil may triumph, we will not quiet
In our hearts we are defiant
Fight for our freedom till we win the day

And in the bloodshed,
With death abound
The men of riddermark shall hear the morning sound
Look to the east hill
Look to the sun
The loyal men return; the time at last has come
Hope is rekindled
Light shines on them
Can men reclaim the land, and rule it once again?
Yet in this moment
Of glory not defeat
The wizard’s warning has begun, the world is far from free

We stand together, facing the horror
Holding our steel to fight the terror
Marching forever till my dying day
Evil may triumph, we will not quiet
In our hearts we are defiant
Fight for our freedom till we win the day

Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough. Perri

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken
