"LINEAGE" ALBUM LYRICS
Eternal Oath
Invaders below
Ones that defiled our home
Silently pursued our prey
Foreign laws we can't obey!
Asking for courage
wisdom and more
Grant us your favour in war
You were there for our fathers
and fathers before in our
ancestor's tales of lore
Never to leave my post
I swore an Eternal Oath
Forced to stand my ground
I swore an Eternal Oath
Blood shall run
Men shall fall
Uphold the
eternal oath
Pay homage to death
Curse them 'til our final breath
Even if we fall tonight
our vengeance shall be had!
LAUGH OF THE TSAR
Many centuries ago when the tides of man were turning
There was a leader who ruled the land with an iron fist
They knew him only as the tsar and this is his tale
Now you will fear
wrath drawing near
you will cringe at the
Laugh of the tsar
all my armies marching forward
desecrating sacred lands
reaping spoils and taking riches
conquering with iron hands
Flee before the savage bear
he will tear into your flesh
I will conquer and you will feel my wrath
Now you will bow before me I am the tsar
Leader of the holy army
Torturing those who oppose
I will drown your helpless screams
Laugh of the Tsar
Crusading with a higher power
Seizing all my rightful lands
With the might of Bannered steel
Laugh of the Tsar
All will succumb to my reign
Bringing slavery and death
I'm the beast of bedtime stories
Stealing children in the night
I will rule this land forever
Never shall my legend die
I will conquer and you will feel my wrath
Now you will bow before me I am the tsar
I am the tsar
Kneel before me
I pass judgment
on all those I see
Laugh of the Tsar
Sounding in the night
Laugh of the Tsar
Following you everywhere
Barbarian
And there we stood survivors but we couldn't hold the pass
It was the year that the winter came far too early
with all our might we couldn't withstand the power of ice and snow
I once was a warrior king - barbarian
After our defeat we were forced to retreat
We said farewell to the land of our forefather
Now we march into a wasteland
past the ruins that once were our home
This is not the end
we will rise again
time will tell their fate
they have sown the seeds of hate
I am a warrior
I know what you've done
I will hunt you down
so you'll taste the steel of my retribution
Soldiers Lament
Marching under the banner of our lord
Gilded cage? are we a plundering horde
Town after town, greeted by fear
Lingering Knowledge, Judgement is near
Holy knights fighting for the cause
Die by the sword or live by the laws
Am I a sheep in a game of wolves?
Never read the book of man
Else wisdom you won't understand
Raiding through a foreign land
Guiding signs will fade in the sand
All alone and I must find a way
For the night is darkest before the break of day
These are my Lamentations
The night is darkest before the break of day
Endlessly on the Plight of war
Starving hounds, beaten to the core
Time after time I've questioned this fate?
Holy knights upholding the law
Believe us now or die with your flaw
Am I a wolf in the guise of a lamb?
LOREMASTER
Celestial bodies in the sky
Finally coming to align
Once every seven score
So its written in the book of lore
Raven song and the full moon
ancient scriptures come to life
The flames are always craving more
So its written in the book of lore
On Blackened Wings
A new prophecy
Tales of your strength
Have travelled to me
Raise up your blade
and pray to the flames
Sacrifice your lies tonight
Devouring your plight
Seeking eternal night
I've seen it all
This is your downfall
I am the one, I am the lore master
From the Winds of the north
To the fires in the south
Empire in the West
and the knowledge in the east
I've seen it all
I am the Loremaster
Forsaken words
and these ancient rites
Give me the lore
To see past the blight
Upon these pages
are spells of the old
Watch as your mind
begins to unfold
Annihilate yourself
Shed your mortal woes
I am the end
Hunted by your foes
I am the one, I am the lore master
I am your hope
Hunted by your foes
He is the one, he is the lore master
Enslaved to this work
Strength in these words
Seasons change and so can thee
But nobody knows this alchemy
I hold the secrets of ancient rites
Ritual wisdom on starless nights
They will never see
Continuing to lead the blind
professional horse photography
Loremaster II
Waiting, here I lie
When the world never hears your cry
A voice of reason amongst the fray
Leave it to death and decay
For I am the one
Wisdom's Son
This young world will always turn
and spin into oblivion
I am the keeper of the keys
I can sustain these memories
You may fall a thousand times
but still the longings there
Singing the songs of the dead one
Living the life of the failed one
Viewing the eyes of the blind man
Release your chains
Bound by rage or free to decide?
The void is calling and you cannot h ide
When will you realize?
Or do you wait til the stars align
Mark my words lest you will burn
Obliteration if you don't learn
Your homeland razed, all has been lost
Vengeance sought no matter the cost?
Search your soul, release your mind
and see the longing there
the world greets you like a blossom
in Springtime when life s before you
As we age, summer burns us
Those lessons never leave
In the autumn, wisdom finds us
Like an old friend we've always known
but Death takes us like the chill of winter
The seasons always age us
the reaper awaits beckoning
The sands of time are falling
do you prepare for judgment?
Now is the time to find balance
Pay no heed to the hand you were dealt
The Sacrifice
My days are numbered in this world
but a new day is born
to give me the hope to see the light
Break on my enemies
as they approach their death
Give me the strength
join me now and
burn those bastards where they stand
They will perish in our sacred land
and hell will welcome them
join me now and
fight by my side and I will honour your sacrifice
with bloodshed and death
join me now and give up your life
My mind is a barren plain
My heart pumps full of steel
I clench this iron sword
To disembowel my foes
I come full charge ahead
Breaking through their defence
Eyes locked upon their souls
Into hell they go
The fields are burning
A red light on this merciless sky
Brave men have fallen
Is this the night that I die
Now it is time, for the final act
Summon your strength
Its time to test your mettle
In your darkest hour
I have come for the blood of thy foes
Follow me into the field of battle
Into the night we ride.
Lineage
Deadly waters
In a sea of pain
Do I drown in vindication?
Severing ties
with the violent side
drinking from the depths
of my well
Demons lashing at my soul
Forcing me to lose control
I will never fail again
Will this chaos end?
See the day
Ride away
Move beyond the
Path of hate
Boiling blood
From the depths of my rage
Slaughter seems like the only way
I can see light
But its shrouded in red
Primal voices dragging me away
With the sound of distant thunder,
spirit torn asunder as I look upon my grave
With the turning of the tides and the shifting of the sands
Has he sealed my fate?
