Winter - Viking

The change of seasons passes

Neverending iwth the day

The wizard we call winter

Can bring storms into our bays

First we pray for sunshine

Then we plead for rain

But the deadly time of year

Is the season we cannot change

Tramping through the snowdrifts

We’veweary and battle fatigued

Anticipating ambush

At every rustling tree

We’re two months away from death

Trudging ever onward

Frostbitten feet and frozen breath

White winter brings the new-fallen snow

Nature’s eulogy for sin

The coming of winter, a season of love

And the waging of war between men

Headed for a battlefield where we will surely die

Our fate is written in the stars tonight

Our future changes, though I know not how

Destiny is changed — now!

A wizard upon us, eyes blazing, spells spewing from his mouth

Flames leaps from his hands, hallucinations

We will never know as we’re engulfed in flames

Oh, to die this way, when we’re defenseless

At the hands of this occult master gone insane…

Awaken shackled, and my men are here

As for my comrades, two are dead I fear

Until I see life in both of them

Torchlight approaches — here!

An old man unlocks me, and the rest of my men as he speaks these words

«I am Krakenaus, you must follow me,

We will escape from this forsaken pit of hell!

Now come quickly, if we’re discovered

You will suffer a fate that is worse than death!»

(Solo: Brett, Ron, Brett, Ron)

Following a stranger, I’m dependent for life

Hoping the man is not a deceiver

The walls are getting cold, we must be nearing an out

In Krakenaus I am now a believer

Running blind through the flurry of snow

Guided only by the page of a master

We know the wizard’s here, he has pursued us this night
