1. The Song Of Hammers The song of hammers The clashing of swords A blacksmith's cry For the lost world Steel! Fire! Hammer! Come back! Return....! The songs of hammers The anvils truth Forged in time Forgotten... forgotten? Steel! Fire! Hammer! Come back! Revenge....! 2. Onyx Centuries in marshes, infested in the exoskeltons Lies the elder wyrm, watching and awaiting the moment A huge form, covered in the blackest scales With claws like scimitars and fangs like spears Eyes like two fullmoons The Onyx Dragon will awake With a single slide, in dismal waters Poisoning, and deciding the fate of all Ancient wisdom of the Ophis Circular movements of time And the fate of the world That was built upon Two cosmic reptiles Their cyclic embrace that shields Cosmos They love and hate each other As mortals, hate and love themselves The night that it will abandon, it's slithering domain Then it will leave liquid Earth Flying above to the unworldly dome And with a swing of its feathered tail, and with a hiss It will make the silver chords, the state of all And the astral wind that blows To ever-know its cosmic hate 3. Secreta Ayra (The Key) The sigil on the papyrus doth fade It slowly turns into past And all the thoughts that were made By those who understood Now float mid-air like ghosts Creatures of a dead, forgotten creator Synthesis, noesis, the material of ideas And the laws that bind the Universe And all these that you no longer Want to possess Heavy they submit to a cruel mistress A scrap of paper, a drop of ink A piece of mind, a simple movement That sometimes is late, or dull And others swift and desperate A silent expression, a secret locked Old, rotten, kept in the closet An answer to a single why That once, and only for a moment Has been given Logic of the irrational Knowledge of the obscure Reasons of paradox Ways of eutropy Now swear! Logic of the impossible Knowledge of the unknown Words that have not yet been spoken Now swear! The key... 4. Valyrian Steel (Blood Of The Dragon) "Do you want to wake the Dragon?" Fear cuts deeper than swords! But full of heart, and breath of hope We trek landscapes, and sail to all shores On a game of thrones Khalakka Dothrae mr'anha Rakh! Rakh haz! Fire and blood Blood of the Dragon "I am the Blood of the Dragon" She told as she took the stallion's heart In both hands, lifted it to her mouth And plunged her teeth, into the tough stringy flesh Khalakka Dothrae mr'anha Rakh! Rakh haz! Khalakka Dothrae mr'anha Rakh! Rakh haz! Fire and blood Blood for the Dragon The false will wear the burning crown The iron vicious crown And death will claim them But fire, Fire cannot ever kill a dragon... Our standards will ever boldly fly A three headed dragon, red on Black Our heritage of Silver hair, and indigo eyes Those who escaped the Doom of Valyria The Conquerers of the Seven kingdoms! Awake the Dragon! 5. The Red Dawn The Spiral Archway of thought The deeping well of memory The silver fountain of Inspiration The brazen vessel of knowledge Oh, distilled drop by drop Goldengreen nectar, gathered by yearning petals Sliced out of the raw surface Of the Eldest Tree, and root of the Earth Oh! How we crave to know! Oh! Countless the skeletons of this tomb! Sacrificed, in olitude, lives As candles that slowly meld into Darkness Is Truth hidden there? Is this a part of the Masterplan? Ask thy shadow, to slowly crawl Entangle your head In its long fingernails And the chill of the grave To lean over, to your ear And whisper to you a single truth Awake! ...all but in vain Kept in captivity lie their children By liars of old Deceivers and enemies of man In Vain? It's our turn now... Do we lay silent? Or, choose to know Awake! Ask thy shadow! Awake! Choose to know! 6. Schwarze Nacht [Instrumental] Lyrics in plain text format
