Thor's hammer crashed to the earth with a mighty rumble. When the smoke cleared, there were some guys. Some stuff happened that set the mood, something about a quest to rock some towns, and now we play melodeath.

A golden sunset
Prelude to the star cloaked sky
Yet this beauty only serves to remind me
Of the passage of time
We are but grains of sand in an hourglass
And we're falling fast
So take haste
Don't delay
For the wheels of time's eternal flow
They halt unfaltering progress for no one
Another day and another step
Another hour that we're closer to death
And what we have we waste away
Unfeeling cold decay
And what we have we waste away
Naive to mortal fate
We are but grains of sand in an hourglass
And we're falling fast
So take haste
Don't delay
For the wheels of time's eternal flow
They halt unfaltering progress for no one
Fear not your death
For the hour of your doom is set
And there is no escape
Invoke your inner flame
Ensure that none forget your name
Time slips away
Mourn not the dead
In their tales they live again
Save your tears for the living
Who never truly live
This is your life, so rise up and live
We are but grains of sand in an hourglass
And we're falling fast
So take haste
Don't delay
Your time, it slips away - Track Name: Æther Realm

In the dawn at the sun's first rays
We initiate the end of days
Perilous quest for paradise
Far away from this land of snow and ice
No pity for those lying dead
Our vicious path leaves the ground stained red
The aether realm for which we travel the earth
In the hopes of a new birth
A lair in the sky for which we seek
From the depths of the earth to the highest peak
Forcing the masses to bow to our lord
we are born into battle, we die by the sword
Laying waste to the land and all who defend
Our swords cutting down their finest men
For the heathen wars have no true weight
As you stand before ethereal gates
No pity for those lying dead
Our vicious path leaves the ground stained red
The aether realm for which we travel the earth
In the hopes of a new birth
A lair in the sky for which we seek
From the depths of the earth to the highest peak
Forcing the masses to bow to our lord
we are born into battle, we die by the sword
Laying waste to the land and all who defend
Our swords cutting down their finest men
For the heathen wars have no true weight
As you stand before ethereal gates
To the aether realm we return at last
To reclaim our throne of the ages past
Ruling the land from a higher base
We have rightfully taken our true place
A lair in the sky for which we seek
From the depths of the earth to the highest peak
Forcing the masses to bow to our lord
we are born into battle, we die by the sword
Laying waste to the land and all who defend
Our swords cutting down their finest men
For the heathen wars have no true weight
As you stand before ethereal gates - Track Name: One Chosen by the Gods

I am one chosen by the gods
As the down begins to break
We march to meet the horde
Invaders armed with spear and sword
Ten thousand legions strong
A loathsome blot upon the land
I thirst to see their blood upon my hands
Outnumbered ten to one
The air is heavy, as the sun
Begins to draw the sweat from every man
Oh, a sudden change
My breath, it catches in my throat
I falter from the pain
And filled with fear
I turn to flee
Oh, what have I done?
I've left my men to certain death
A coward's mark upon my head
But wait, for in my path
A shadow looms and speaks to me
Turn and fight
Harness your heathen might
You will take revenge for the fallen ones
An eerie light descends
A sudden peace from the wind
A new sensation overcoming me
Now filled with lust for blood
I turn and tear back
to the site where courage faltered for me
Oh, I can't believe
The sight obscene
The field of dead
Stretching far as eye can see
Oh, I've failed them
I have forsaken my only calling
Oh, retribution
My only wish, but how?
No map to guide my feet
I'll guide you, I'll find your way
The shadow spoke to me
I am
I am
I am one
One chosen by the gods
[Heinrich solo]
With nothing left to lose
I step back to the fray
their force asleep and none will ever see another day
My courage has been found
begin to cut them down
Revenge, revenge is my name
Death is their only destiny
My blades are dancing in perfect unity
releasing my rage for what seems like eternity
What the gods have wrought in you today, let no man tear asunder
I wish to return to ethereal state
No pain or feeling
Relenquish my body in the darkened night
I slowly drift away
Leaving my body I'm finally free
No physical traits
The perfect being
Rush of color, divine new realm
Come with me, Come with me
I am one chosen by the gods - Track Name: Winter's Grasp
-
Without the fire
And the path from which we strayed
The cold begins to bite and I begin to fall prey
To the winter, I feel his icy hands upon my neck
Unearthly sounds echoing all around
As the wolves begin to circle for the kill
The corpses of their victims strewn across the snow]
Their eyes reflecting the stars they cannot see
Blinded by a swirling light
Drop to your knees and pray
for your life
Surrounded by ice and snow, the frozen winds around you blow
You'll be dead before you stand, the gods have turned their backs
A force this great not seen for a thousand years
Leaving nothing in it's wake
All will fall into the maw
of terror cloaked in white
Engulfing all til hunger's satisfied
You won't escape the winter's grasp
Just bare your skin
Accept your fate
Lie down and wait
There's no escape - Track Name: Oak

The color drained from life
A crushing hopeless mist
I'm standing at the edge of the abyss
Possessor of ancient might
Knower of the ancient light
You've given but not received
A rope and a branch are all I need
Possessor of ancient might
Knower of the ancient light
You've given but not received
Will you bestow these gifts on me
As I climb closer toward
My sweet untimely end
My thoughts, they wander as I ascend
My future is written in blood
As I turn my gaze to the stars
One last look at the world I loved
Perched upon the brink with the noose around my neck
I've made my choice, I won't look back
And yet I'm somehow called to wait
Perched upon the brink with the rope around my neck
But a force unseen commands look back
I see what I have left to give
As I climb closer toward
My sweet untimely end
My thoughts, they wander as I ascend
What the future holds for me
As I turn my gaze to the sky
One last look at the world I love
And I break from the embrace of the oak
Possessor of ancient might
Knower of the ancient light
You've given but not received
Why would you bestow these gifts on me
Possessor of ancient might
You've looked to the ancient skies
Instilling a hope in me
