Desolate

[lyrics: Shamgar, music: Shamgar & Slechtvalk]Haunted by a restlessness I fail to find peace,While thoughts of a self-destructive nature drive me to madness.What was left of happiness in life is now gone, even the sun looks dark in my eyes.My heart feels desolate.Trapped in a maze of horror, forsaken by God, I cannot escapeThis time I don't see a way out, except for death.Although I want to be freed from the despair that envelops my soul,I neglect to find help, unsure if I even want it to end.Playing with the thought of a self inflicted death to end this nightmare called life.What was left of happiness in life is now gone, even the sun looks dark in my eyes.My heart feels desolate as if hell already burns inside.What if this pain does not end with death,But continues to haunt my soul in hell.I cannot bear these visions of despair,So I stay my hand.In a moment of solitude I cry out from my misery to the One I fear.As new strength refills my heart with courage, I find myself willing to go on.I slowly rise on my feet to confront the demons which sought my death.

The Promise

We have traced the movements of the tribesLed in chains from the burning ruinsOf their beloved city into captivity ...After two-thousand years of exile and dispersion,They have returned home gathered out ofMany people .. unto the former wasteland ...They have come to claim their promised landAnd embrace their tragic and prophetic role ...Bruised and bleeding from the centuries of suffering,They stand to pay the price of blood once more ...

A Call in the Night

Cold sharp hail is blown into my face by a stormy windI take shelter in a small wooden church near the black woodsA choir sings some songs of praise and worship for their lordFor a little while it makes me forget the sorrow I am in"In distress we call to thee, we await thy returnFor the forces of evil are closing in upon usBut with thy help we can live beyond our lives' endOh Lord accept our gratitude for thy sacrifice"I hear a call in the distance, it startles meFor it seems like the call of a dying man, I ascend my horseAs we leave our shelter to challenge the raging stormI hear the shrieks of a falcon from within the fog ahead of usAmazed to hear a falcon's shriek in this time of yearI ride towards the branch on which the falcon sitsI feel a cold shiver as I enter the forest in search of this manWith the falcon as my guide, and a bastard sword at my sideA strange feeling that makes me a bit sick tells me I am nearThe source of the horrible scream, which I heard a short while agoThe slain body of a warrior is what I find hereIt looks a bit familiar but I cannot seem to grasp it

Towards the Dawn

[lyrics: Shamgar & Ohtar, music: Shamgar & Slechtvalk]Once again, my enemy has amassed an army against me.He has come to face his fate.All the men he has deceived by his lies,They don't know that this night will be their last.I see the fear in their eyes.Their hope lies in a victory that cannot be won.Long have I awaited this moment,To bring my final judgement on him.Today is the day I finish him,He'll be dead before the dawn.Rise now my brethren and fight till the dawn will release us from this mournful nightFollow me now as I ride through this sea of onslaught, death and fire, Arise!I have seen cities fall to ruin, lost friends to madness.I have stood on the scaffold. I have felt the sting of steel.I have tasted the blood from my wounds, witnessed horrors untold.I have heard proud men beg for mercy, endured what others could not.In the end I even experienced death...Rise now my brethren and fight till the dawn will release us from the ground,He thought he had killed me, but now I stand before him.His thumbless fists, his eternal disgrace.He is a shadow of the man he should have been.He could not keep the one I love from me,The bruises on her face begin to fade.Now I have recovered what was owed.His life will end.So I returned to face my enemy once more,The demon who haunted me in the past.Leading all those who will follow, towards an eternal dawn.We shall have the final victory ere the new sun rises.Now follow me towards the dawn!
