• 1. As Arrows Hail (03:27)
   copy

  Cast from paradise, across grinding ice, acquired scorn of the divine,
  I was cursed from the start, by the fire in my heart, I won't stop till I take back what's mine,
  No sign of repent, slay all those against, I spare none that stand in my path,
  By spell or by steel I will refuse to kneel until one of us smolders in ash.
  
  I see the banners rising, victory is near,
  I smell the blood and sulfur pouring from the demon's lair,
  I rush towards destiny, my oath I cannot fail,
  My word unwavering as weapons clash and arrows hail
  
  With weapons equipped, we'll burn every ship, my bloodline forever now damned,
  Condemned to my tomb, by a prophet of doom, revenge for the mariners that died by my hand,
  Revenge cannot wait, writhing with hate, succumb to the surging bloodbath,
  In frost and in flame you'll remember my name as you suffer the force of my wrath
  
  I see the banners rising, victory is near,
  I smell the blood and sulfur pouring from the demon's lair,
  I rush towards destiny, my oath I cannot fail,
  My word unwavering as weapons clash and arrows hail
• 2. Shadow of the Dragon (03:48)
   copy

  Sanctuary shattered as ancient evil rises forth,
  The sorcerer fans the flames of war,
  Archanea will soon be scorched.
  
  On a ruined island a monarch of monstrosity,
  Across crashing waves and ghoulish Teeth,
  To slay the fucking manaketes.
  
  In the Shadow of the Dragon, under the light of the star,
  Heroes of old gather forth.
  In the Shadow of the Dragon, a blade of light shining on,
  An emblem of hope for us all.
  
  Dynasty in tatters, dragon empire born of war
  On Whitewings' word the prince flies forth,
  Archanaea will be restored.
  
  A land of sorrow, crushed beneath a traitor king
  The blessed blade must be retrieved,
  To destroy despotic dragon liege
  
  In the Shadow of the Dragon, under the light of the star,
  Heroes of old gather forth.
  In the Shadow of the Dragon, a blade of light shining on,
  An emblem of hope for us all.
  
  Far beyond desert sands
  In a realm of magic the sage's wisdom guides their hands.
  
  In the Shadow of the Dragon, under the light of the star,
  Heroes of old gather forth.
  In the Shadow of the Dragon, a blade of light shining on,
  An emblem of hope for us all.
• 3. Crawl from the Carcass (04:04)
   copy

  In the belly of the beast and I'm clawing out,
  Overcoming disease that fed on our self doubt,
  Infected and bloated and ready to fail,
  And it couldn't survive by eating its own tail.
  
  Crawl From the Carcass (x24)
  
  A decomposing corpse from prehistoric days,
  The apex predator has now become the prey,
  You're seething and bleeding soon to be forgot,
  I'm at the edge of the tar pit as I watch you rot.
  
  Crawl From the Carcass (x24)
  
  Apathetic as I watch you bleed
  No prey small enough left for you to feed.
• 4. Altar of Earth (04:27)
   copy

  Near rotted town, 'pon devil's tail,
  The site where strength of earth did fail,
  The caverns quake, where ground decays,
  The fiend has risen from his grave.
  
  All living things were born into this world to die,
  We fight the cycling chaotic march of time
  Dispel the darkness and let light go flowing forth,
  Reignite the crystal on the Altar of Earth.
  
  Celestial star of ruby red,
  Would shine until the beast was fed,
  The golem guards the sage's staff,
  The sanguine servant blocks the path.
  
  The fallow fields blight from below,
  The lich will reap what chaos sows,
  The harbinger of doomed history
  Soul thrashing black sorcery.
  
  All living things were born into this world to die,
  We fight the cycling chaotic march of time
  Dispel the darkness and let light go flowing forth,
  Reignite the crystal on the Altar of Earth
  
  All living things were born into this world to die,
  Fulfill the prophecy restore the flow of time,
  Four fabled warriors whose light will lift the curse
  Banish this burden from the Altar of Earth.
• 5. Song of the Grey Witch (05:27)
   copy

  I've seen a hundred kingdoms fall
  My home land first amongst them all
  Pride in magic brought our doom
  Condemned to ruin
  Bound to this circclet I live on once more
  Bodies cast off like dresses worn
  Never more shall empire reign upon Lodoss
  
  Sworn to the balance I stand watch over the land
  Ambitions shall be stifled by my hand
  
  For the good of all on this island
  Weaving webs that will now divide them
  I walk a path both dark and light
  Guided by immortal sight
  Grey Witch, by duty bound forevermore
  
  Time and again are threats reborn
  By goddess-sworn and noble lord
  A lust for power drives them all
  To claim the island
  Beneath a golden helmet I rode forth
  Six Heroes sworn to common cause
  Twist them all to serve my will
  All for Lodoss
  
  Sworn to the balance none shall rule over this land
  Let war and strife be guidded by my hand
  
  For the good of all on this island
  Weaving webs that will now divide them
  I walk a path both dark and light
  Guided by immortal sight
  Grey Witch, by duty bound forevermore
  
  As allies turn in to foes
  by arrows flight a king laid low
  Rebellions rise at my call
  Their greed the ruin of them all
  
  For the good of all on this island
  Weaving webs that will now divide them
  I walk a path both dark and light
  Guided by immortal sight
  Grey Witch, by duty bound forevermore
• 6. Hawkriders of the Wastes (04:38)
   copy

  High in the sky our fate we defy
  Braving the wasteland as clouds pass us by
  Lords of the air
  Our foes shall despair
  Shaterring shields with the weapons we bear
  By the spear in my hand, we lay claim to this and
  Talons shall rend at rider's command
  By the will of our king
  Vengeance we bring
  War horns now resounding
  
  Long we've roamed
  Dawn's first light shall lead our way home
  
  Born on the wind, doomed to die
  We hold our banners high
  Our battles fought for the sake of our people
  Beyond kingdom's end
  Through forsaken lands
  The oaths we swore still guide us true
  Until we reach our journey's end
  As a storm descends
  
  Years pass us by
  Our dreams become lies
  Empire fades with the high lord's demise
  Plague stalks this land
  Our legions disband
  Barren the fields amidst oceans of sand
  By the vows we once made, fallen kingdom we aid
  Selling our steel until debts we paid
  Mercenary trade
  A life by the blade
  Forced to forge a new way
  
  Long we've roamed
  Dawn's first light shall lead our way home
  
  Born on the wind, doomed to die
  We hold our banners high
  Our battles fought for the sake of our people
  Beyond kingdom's end
  Through forsaken lands
  The oaths we swore still guide us true
  Until we reach our journey's end
  As a storm descends
  
  Born on the wind, doomed to die
  As arrows blot the sky
  Our battles fought for the sake of our people
  Beyond kingdom's end
  Through forsaken lands
  The oaths we swore still guide us true
  Our flame burns bright until the end
  As a storm descends
• 7. Wild Shape (05:19)
   copy

  Armor over encumbered,
  I stay exhausted from long rests,
  I feel alien within my skin,
  With two bursting through my chest.
  
  In the name of devastation,
  I'll rejuvenate what's left,
  And now I'm feathered, feral, and on the loose,
  Brought back from the brink with a zenkai boost
  
  Harness new nature now as bodies start to bloom,
  Channel my energy as I draw down the moon.
  
  I will prevail by tooth or by nail,
  Molting the skin I've held in place,
  Stand in awe of the feather and claw,
  As I achieve the final state,
  Of my Wild Shape
  
  I've awoke from hibernation,
  Long live my new flesh,
  The world is bearing down on me
  And even Atlas couldn't lift,
  
  Alexi guide my needle,
  As I feel its sharpened sting,
  The weight i feel upon my back,
  Is just my growing wings.
  
  Searching the scrying pool until the future's clear,
  There's the sound of perseverance that is ringing through my ears.
  
  *Sound of Alexi Laiho fighting a bobcat*
  
  I will prevail by tooth or by nail,
  Molting the skin I've held in place,
  Stand in awe of the feather and claw,
  As I achieve the final state,
  Of my Wild Shape
• 8. Devastation Be My Name (04:28)
   copy

  Mourning across the killing field,
  Cursed now to carry every weapon I can wield,
  The battle won but conscience stained,
  Face down the memories of you that now remain.
  
  Hold tighter to me as I'm going down in flames,
  Scorched earth on impact oh and nothing shall remain,
  Sharpen my claws and may the huntress guide my blade,
  Total annihilation, in desecration, Devastation Be My Name.
  
  Savor the spoils we've been left,
  Searching for closure to a never ending quest,
  With every peak that I surpass,
  Each mounting victory more hollow than the last.
  
  Our time will come,
  To face what we have done.
  
  Hold tighter to me as I'm going down in flames,
  Scorched earth on impact oh and nothing shall remain,
  Sharpen my claws and may the huntress guide my blade,
  Total annihilation, in desecration, Devastation Be My Name.
  
  Will I drag you all down with me,
  Why is it so hard to feel,
  Will I ever stop the bleeding,
  When is it my turn to heal?
  
  Why can no one hear me screaming,
  As I slowly sink towards hell,
  Am I scared or am I Scary,
  Why can no one fucking tell?
  
  Hold tighter to me as I'm going down in flames,
  Scorched earth on impact oh and nothing shall remain,
  Sharpen my claws and may the huntress guide my blade,
  Total annihilation, in desecration, Devastation Be My Name.
• 9. Bloodsilver (04:41)
   copy

  Down from the mountain in fire and blood
  Chaos and death all around me
  Screams of the dying, the roar of earth
  The gods take the field in their glory
  Howling and raging their blows crack the sky
  A rmies lay broken beneath them
  With treachery of elves they now see through the lie
  And sacrifice buys them their freedom
  
  Up from the ashes power burning deep within my heart
  Strength of fallen gods now courses through me
  
  Scions of an ancient bloodline
  Born from gods' demise
  Death of kin and theft of power
  Demon's shape becomes my prize
  Weapons forged to take their gifts
  Will strengthen that which now is mine
  Sorrow and death, carnage and woe
  The Bloodsilver quenched in the heart of my foes
  Like Bloodsilver quenched in the heart of my foes
  
  Ages have past and the war rages on
  As slaughter and bloodtheft prevailing
  An empire shattered, a crown left unworn
  Realms now awash in betrayal
  High in the mountains the Black Prince awaits
  A bastion of hatred and terror
  Armies now gather, the dragon awakes
  The hour of vengeance draws nearer
  
  Out from the shadows malice burning deep within my heart
  All of mortalkind shall bow before me
  
  Scions of an ancient bloodline
  Born from gods' demise
  Death of kin and theft of power
  Demon's shape becomes my prize
  Weapons forged to take their gifts
  Will strengthen that which now is mine
  Sorrow and death, carnage and woe
  The Bloodsilver quenched in the heart of my foes
  Like Bloodsilver quenched in the heart of my foes
• 10. The Fall of Netheril (05:39)
   copy

  High in the skies of Faerûn
  An empire unsurpassed
  Forged by the might of magic
  In ages lost
  Through gift of Elvish spell craft
  Their sovereignty maintained
  Their arrogance unbridled
  Though their power waned
  
  Land's plague grows
  Shadows linger
  Doom of all
  Drawing nearer
  
  So fall the last days of Netheril
  Lost to pride and wizard's greed
  No more the empire of Netheril
  Naught but stones upon the field
  
  A final spell to save them all
  Usurp the goddess, rewrite the Weave's law
  His hubris thus did doom them all
  With Mystryl's passing
  the sky cities now fall
  
  Beneath in lightless caverns
  The Phaerimm lie in wait
  Commanding endless magics
  The surface laid to waste
  
  Life drain spreading
  Cities fall
  Desolation
  
  So fall the last days of Netheril
  Lost to pride and wizard's greed
  No more the empire of Netheril
  Naught but stones upon the field
