lyrics

All I see, is a world confused and tortured
History, can I choose a path less forward
Let me be, once a man now lying dormant
Falicy, all the hope on one man's shoulders

I can't take this, light me up
All is lost, take my spirit
As I'm paralyzed and torn
Runes are shown, leaves of red stand tall

Can it be, that the one's I've loved betray me
I can see, no-one's here to fall at my knees
Feel the need, lift the flag, the standard calling
Will I bleed, speak the names that move all mountains

I can't take this, light me up
All is lost, take my spirit
As I'm paralyzed and torn
Runes are shown, leaves of red stand tall

Bring back the shadows of time
Where a man will rise up from the bodies
I can foresee my fate
Within the eyes of a serpent's kiss
You are mine now
Awakened the rage of a thousand men in one

Memories creeping back to save me
Sense the light through the door
My brother's hand will be there to grab me
Pick me up from the floor, I call to arms

Peace restrained, hate proclaimed, take me back to my family
Your life is mine, you chose to die, tears fall down in my fury

Too many lies have you wasted on my ears today
No friend of mine you'll slay
Many died it's up to me, incinerate
No more will come of this
I've seen your kind pillage all the wealth from here away
Took vines from which I'm sown
A mother's love is only stronger than her son's distaste
In raping a figure that meant the world to me

You won't taint my blood!

Live is to die, my memory will never fade away
Shine bright for all to see
Can you find, an answer to your self pity?
Brings pain to all you free
Cold stars, are kneeling in my wake, they pray
Hope lies in a man today
Not with a sword but with an arrow brings the end to snakes
No one to witness, they'll cover my win in shame

The snakes are dead!

I've sacrificed, gave of my blood, shown enemies the tears which I've shed
Remember me, let no one repeat. Atrocities like these should be buried forever
My only fear is I'll die here forgotten, Remember me... never forget
