Midnight Odyssey The Forest Mourners 1. Journey Across the Sea From afar these strangers came With fire in their eyes Their swords were jewelled, their shields adorned Their tongues all spoke of lies They burnt our shrines, they killed our gods They took all that we owned They raped our wives and killed the men Some hung and some were stoned But from this day I will return a man so strong and brave I'll claim the land, my stolen home Their blood my father's gave With an army a million strong, I'll march for their glory And they shall fear my name before I sail across the sea I am the storms, that crash into the sea I am the serpent who lurks in waters deep Eternal vengeance, fuels my inner soul A reclamation of all that you stole I am the vermin, that bite at your feet I am the howling, unsettling your sleep And in your visions, you see the flames Death is returning, and wrath is his name 2. Night Spirits 3. Spirit of the Winter Mountain Upon the mountain, within the fog Lies a spirit who sings a song He lures men up his wicked peaks Then casts his wrath for the blood he seeks The pride of men, he takes away When he hungers, his song will lead them astray Oh come to me, I can help Come and take my hand I'm the mountain's only son, born from deep within From a distance I see amongst the trees, his pale face I crave the blood and the flesh His final breath I can already taste Oh come to me, I can help Come take my hand I'm the mountain's only son, born from deep within I see you've com far away and are alone again Oh come to me, lonesome man You're not king of this mountain 4. Twilight Storm 5. The Forest Mourners Under the moonlight, in winter's realm The trees are silent, the wolves as well Only the footsteps of men are heard As they carry the wooden hearse Mournful cries, flowing tears Into the forest, they disappear And from the trees, a funeral dirge The forest mourners are forever heard Under the evening fog the torches burn The flaming flickers, light the twists and turns And when they reach the sacred grove The air gets colder, death consumes the shadows
