Withered Land - The Endless Journey lyrics



Tracks



01. Through The Misty Mountains

Twilight hide forgotten paths
Through the mountains and bloodbath.
The distant stars guide our squad
One by one and side by side.
When the darkest night fell down
The horns of war call mighty guards.
I saw homeland for the latest time.
The deadly journey has begun.

The darkness is turned by eternal light.
The sky is divided itself part by part.
The greatest battle of times is near.
We're getting closer, no time to fear.

Where the wild winds blow
As above so below
Bewitched stars overglow
They any secrets know
Where the mountains high and low
As above so below
Where the dark rivers flow
They any secrets know

In a prophetic dream
Through the misty mountains
Through the great woods
Under the cold stars
I saw the withered land.

The Era of the Ancient Kings fades into oblivion...

The light is turned by awful dark tide.
The sky is divided itself part by part.
On the horizon the enemies wait.
We can't to step back. It's too late.

The Era of the Ancient Kings fades into oblivion...

02. Wraiths Surround Us All

For kings, for warriors and poor
One destiny exists.
The same result, the same old things
Death shackles on the wrists.
But everyone accepts his fate
In their own way.
On field and throne or in a cave,
Sometimes when he's astray.

There is no better fate for a warrior than a glorious death in the battle.

The enemy is close,
Raise up our swords!
Victory will come.
Glorious battle will show.
Wraiths surround us all.
One by one shall fall.
Hide your own fear.
Death was always near.

Blood rivers will be shed again
For our kingdom's reign.
A wheel of Fate has made new turn,
We're ready to reborn.
The fog of war is spreading here,
There's no place for fear.
I'm on my faithful steed
Galloping for the bleed.

And the enemy is bleeding.
There will be no mercy for anyone.
For you, for him, for me

Time has come.
Time has come.

The spear hits me, I fall from the steed.
Here's a payback for my bloody greed.
The voices and noise are waning for me.

03. Mournful Story Never Ends

Now I'm lost in empty lands.
Buried in the foreign depths.
I raise and drop my bloody hands.
This mournful story never ends.
Across the Wasteland in the night
I ask the Gods to continue fight.
I try to stand and raise my blade.
But it's too late. For me too late.

I'm a captive to a mortal battle.
Time is lost in the black sands.
The wild wind shall bring
The bad news to my friends.
Everything becomes a dust.
Life goes away for me so fast.
I'm lying on a withered field.
The fate is sealed. For me is sealed.

Am I'll ever come home?
Endless void is calling me.

I see the ravens circling.
Here my destiny shall end.
My bones shall rest with thousand others.
Death is reaching out its hand.

Ominous shadows dance next to my body.
I stand in the distance and look at their dance.
One of the shadows kissed my dead lips.
I can never forget this cold and her glance.

04. Over Distant Shores

My sorrow-haunted memory
Is fading without a trace.
Infinity is calling
In bittersweet embrace.
My last regret is drowning
In the grace of time.
The last breath is stolen
By the deepest night.

I lost my way
On a road of decay.
A road without end,
My last stand.

Over the misty fjords,
Over forest dying,
Over distant shores
My soul is flying.
Infinite sky is calm
On the ghostly way,
Cold turns into warm.
I'll not astray.

Far away
Far away

Clouds envelop me.
Fate has no power here.
Nowhere and never.
I'm dead forever.
My sorrow-haunted memory
Is fading without a trace.
Infinity is calling
In bittersweet embrace.

There is no more pain.
But then there is only emptiness.
No more battles and love.
I stand in front of the gates of oblivion.

Far away
Far away

But what is it? What happens?
My eyes are opening wide.
I'm starting to fall down.
I'm feeling strange collide.
The fall is getting faster.
I see again the fjords.
I see again the mountains.
And see the distant shores.

05. Death Was Always Near

I open my eyes
I lie on the ground.
My courser is near,
But no one I can hear.
I'm looking around
And what have I found?
The enemies died,
No friends survived.

No one survived.

Please bring me home.
I was left alone.
Reveal me the path,
My guiding star.

Please bring me home

The wounds hurt,
But I never forgot
Your lovely face
And sweet embrace.
That keeps me alive,
For you I survived.
Please bring me home.
I don't wanna be alone.

Now I'm finally close... But what is it?

Burning smell, smoke,
Charred houses, mountains of corpses,
my home is destroyed.
