Once Upon an Era (demo)
1. Born to the Fight
Blooded to the battle
Born to the fight
Sowed in the soul
Thrill of the fight
Taking no prisoners
To die for a cause
Honour and glory
To win without loss
Prowess and power
Stealth and speed
Practice of combat
Take pain without heed
Boundless endurance
Man without peer
Natural instincts
Stay alive through it all
The world was young
The laws were true
To kill or be killed
These men were proud
And true to their word
Not modern day cowards
Who kill in cold blood.
2. Ashes to Ashes
Drift back to an era now gone
Kindred spirits fought to overcome
Druids held sway over kings
And the thrill of the hunt prevailed
People were one with the land
And harmony reigned in the cycle of life
I too am of the earth
Celtic fire burns in my veins
I too am a warrior born
I fight the pain and misery
My spirit forever flys free
Almost any path is secret
Until you've travelled it yourself
Universal flowers abound
Try to choose the right path
A stairway to a higher plain
Live for this world and the next
The standing stones
The stone circles
A life so complex
Yet so simple
Once upon an era
I enter the fray ungrieving
In my heart of hearts believing
That the path of many futures
I will awah si oicly
Enduring the endless knot
My belief will see me through
Celtic fire!! Warrior born!!
3. This Can Not Be
A journey through time to an alien land
Where am I now? Where is this place?
Vaguely familiar this can not be
Oh so familiar, this can not be
Where are the forests? That covered the land
Where are the wolves? Who stalked the night
What are these poison? Raping our world
What have they done? Do they not know?
Famine and destruction, death and despair
Political zombies who hold the power
Is this our future? This can not be
Hold the future? This shall not be
What's the obsession? With material gain
What's this religion I cannot believe
What are the weapons that kill without skill
Why do people take it? Why don't they resist?
Eradicate children, motives of thought
Respect for the land which has spawned you
Repair these evils this can not be
Open your eyes this cannot be
Who are these people? Who think they know all
Where is their confidence? These pitiless souls
When their children hunger, when the world is no more
Too late to know that, they can't eat their memory.
4. Once upon an Era
Drift back to an era now gone
Kindred spirits fought to overcome
Druids held sway over kings
And the thrill of the hunt prevailed
People were one with the land
And harmony reigned
In the cycle of life
The standing stones
The stone circles
A life so complex
Yet so simple
Once upon an era
Once upon an era
I too am of the earth
Celtic fire burns in my veins
I too am a warrior born
I fight the pain and misery
My ancestor light my path
My spirit shall remain free
Almost any path is secret
Until you've traveled is yours
Universal powers abound
Try to choose the right path
A stairway to a higher plane
Live for this world and the next
I enter the fray ungrieving
In my heart of hearts believing
That the path of many futures
I will await stoically
Enduring the endless knot
My belief will see me through.
