AETERNUS "Beyond The Wandering Moon" 1997 Hammerheart Sworn Revenge ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My thoughts are dark they speak of deep anger among the tombstones, I walk. The remains of my people is entombed here. There's no one left - but me. I have sworn by my own blood that this undoing will be revenged by my fathers sword. I will speak to the god of war and my hail shall be heard I will hunt these weak infidels. My people's souls must be given their rest, they must be given their rest, I will hunt! Through sorrow and hatred I will gather my strength never shall I rest, until my dying day I will hunt! White Realm ~~~~~~~~~~~ Ice, snow, cold, hear me now I am in agony I scream your name I wish to speak with you all lords of the winter Cold, come and freeze the mighty oceans give birth to your brother, ice make me feel, the ice grow in my veins snow, cover the land with your white veil make my realm beautiful Wind, blow your storms dance with the snow bring the cold to my soul fly through my soul with the lords of the winter on your wings fly over my realm give birth to my desire give me a white realm of ice, snow and frost Sentinels Of Darkness ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gazing at the landscape, after all you'll find my fellows there, on the tranquil traces of my white, clear land. No need to fear opening the gates to travel, it comes so nearly to make you feel the glorious side Feeling free, diving into times you'll never forget, hunger for freedom, in the silence of wintery nights, spirits herald. The wind comes The light looses significance, throughout the night Owl singing the dead song inside the forest of dusk uncontrolled desire rising from above the heart strength is near to haunt you Coming to touch your soul. Heed to the harmonious song of wise owl. All fear fading away. By hearing the hoarse cry. Take a look as the mighty wind will bring the flood washing your pain takes your sorrow to far away face of the old trees glorifying the land Calls to spirits made before you time for joining with the long breeze of day when the wind scars the bleached faces, of the snowy land, cold scent of the wind, brings the truth from behind different sides. Hear them calling for precious spirits to fly dreaming the truth sets your soul free takes your body once breathing the death surrounds you Embraced ~~~~~~~~ The mountains are cold and strong the snow is pure and fresh this provides me with strength embraced by the grey mountains and the strong king winter, I am. I am the stone, I am the snow I am the ice, I am as the mountains - mighty. The eagles above, they see me, I hail them. As they are my brothers and sisters. I will not die, I must live to guard my mountains - my winter this is all mine, I am their warrior. I belong here. Embraced by the grey mountains and strong king winter, I am.

He will be remembered for his great courage he will fight for his honour and pride, until the end. To Enter The Realm Of Legend ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Castle of ice, a majestic sight. Falcons, eagles and mighty ravens circling above guarding this enchanting sight built out of dreams and wishes dreams and wishes from people of the mighty land Sorcerers, finishing this bold creation see what they make gigantic demons of hate a threat to unworthy worms The wise men's chants call the wolves out of deep winter forests winter owls, arriving and two mighty goats appear to the gate they go, to defend the castle of ice ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recorded at Grieghallen studio.
