Waylander 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.
