Bane Of Isildur - Black Wings lyrics



Tracks



01. Chosen Path

I walk this road alone
On my chosen path
Seek my place upon the throne
Through fields of death

Engulfed in the flames of destiny
That stars die tonight

Break my chains
Set me free
The cold winds of death
Are embracing me

Outcast
For my wretched ways
Leaving it all behind
Cower beneath me

Engulfed in the flames of destiny
That stars die tonight

Break my chains
Set me free
The cold winds of death
Are embracing me

02. Last Alliance

Blackened
The sky has turned black
March on the darkened land
The battle
Its time to attack
The last alliance stands

Fear
Threatens to take us
Honour
Bound to battle we ride

As I raise my fathers sword
I cut the hand
(Victory)
To behold the majesty
Devine power
(Corrupting)
Cruelty, malice
Will to dominate
(Enslaves me)
Betrayed and led to my death
Deceitful energy
(Forged in darkness, the bane of all)

Before my eyes
My father dies
I draw his sword
And end the war

Deception
Lies before me
The war is not won
Evil source
Is not destroyed
Its power lives on

As I raise my fathers sword
I cut the hand
(Victory)
To behold the majesty
Devine power
(Corrupting)
Cruelty, malice
Will to dominate
(Enslaves me)
Betrayed and led to my death
Deceitful energy
(Forged in darkness, the bane of all)

03. The War Of Gods And Men

At the rise of dawn
The fires burn
The hammers fly
The age of iron

When lightning strikes
Heed me
When the battle calls
Bow to me
Horns sound
Join with me
In the war of gods and men

Born of the earth
Forged with fear and hatred
Profuse power
Kneel to me

When lightning strikes
Heed me
When the battle calls
Bow to me
Horns sound
Join with me
In the war of gods and men

A sorceror
With glazed open eyes
For telling
The prophecies
Of ancient times

Majestic storms of might
Fire erupts and consumes the earth
The gods of men are enraged

Born of the earth
Forged with fear and hatred
Profuse power
Kneel to me

When lightning strikes
Heed me
When the battle calls
Bow to me
Horns sound
Join with me
In the war of gods and men

04. 1066

Summoned for duty
Known only for fury
I roam the battlefield for none but one
Claiming heads and crushing bones
Colossal bloodbath has begun
Perpetually I will be known

Ravens circle in the skies
Valour is recognised as nobility
Witness the fire in my eyes
And you will find your tranquillity

The final stand is upon us now
Faced with cowardice from the weak
So many men it takes to bring me down
Surprise assault from the south

Ravens circle in the skies
Valour is recognised as nobility
Witness the fire in my eyes
And you will find your tranquillity

See the fire in my spirit strengthening
The desire of destruction
Dissolution of the nameless foes
The fire inside burns eternally

05. Furious Hunt

Now begins
The great day of peril
Kingdoms fall
Under a throne of blood

Upon black wings
I ride
By torches light
Furious hunt

Plagues and misery
Sweep through the realms
Spiritless riders
Of the all father

Upon black wings
I ride
By torches light
Furious hunt

A sacrifice
With lifeless black eyes
I show no compassion
With a black heart

Blood is spilled this night
With a black heart

Upon black wings
I ride
By torches light
Furious hunt

06. Born To Scorch The Earth

Can you hear?
The call of battle
A song in every mans heart
Lord of death
Archon of hatred
Born to scorch the earth

Through the fire we ride
Like the winds of death
Mighty steeds
With hooves that scorch the earth

Our spears hold
The heads of our enemies
And our armour
Is stained with blasphemy

Can you hear?
The call of battle
A song in every mans heart
Lord of death
Archon of hatred
Born to scorch the earth

Through windswept plains
Across oceans dark and deep
We have come to claim our fate
Through death
Through death and glory we reap

Can you hear?
The call of battle
A song in every mans heart
Lord of death
Archon of hatred
Born to scorch the earth

07. Cold

The end is all that becomes
Of the fimbulwinter
A new age begins at dawn
Its time to draw arms

08. Of Crimson And Cold Steel

Born on a battlefield
Raised with axe and flame
To be a king by thy own hand
To brave this world of pain

Of crimson and cold steel
The battle rages on
Of blood and fire
Man is reborn

Of crimson and cold steel
of death and power
Unsheathe the blade
And reign in blood forever
Reign in blood forever

With death in hand
With the axe of a reaper
With a cruel and grim desire
The crown of kings shall fall

Of crimson and cold steel
The battle rages on
Of blood and fire
Man is reborn

Of crimson and cold steel
of death and power
Unsheathe the blade
And reign in blood forever
Reign in blood forever

I am the angel of death
On a pale horse I ride
To war on sea and land
I die with pride

From grey forests
And windswept hills
A reaper of man
A giant of wrath
Beyond the blazing horizons
The fate of all is held
I cut thy flesh and taste life
A battle to behold

Of crimson and cold steel
The battle rages on
Of blood and fire
Man is reborn

Of crimson and cold steel
of death and power
Unsheathe the blade
And reign in blood forever

09. A Red Dawn

In dreams death dwells
Premonitions, dark thought surfacing
A poisoned heart
Warnings of the runes ignored
As men face their fate
It shall be the path they take

Summoning the essence
Of a power
Greater than the earth
Harness the power of the sun
As the wolves eyes open
I am instilled with life
In the embrace of a certain death
Awaiting a red dawn

Above the fallen I walk
Barren fields where battles once throve
Beyond the gates of life and death
Brings new life
One man stands alone
In the pouring rain
His soul drenched in hatred
Cold, ruthless warrior of might

Summoning the essence
Of a power
Greater than the earth
Harness the power of the sun
As the wolves eyes open
I am instilled with life
In the embrace of a certain death
Awaiting a red dawn
