Once... In The Windblasted North Lyrics

In between the wastelands of endless ice and snow

Lays the place abandoned from mankind long ago

Frozen seas of blood - towers built of flesh and bones

And the presence on insanity on the shadows throne

Great evil is dwelling here for ages - high in the lands of frost

Stories turn to legends - and empires fall to dust - the awaking of the ancient is at hand

Spreading the reign of shadows terror - high up in the abandoned land

Moving shadows at the edge of the wood - where twilight found you out there all alone

In the darkness and the freezing cold - and far far away from home

Ages went by in a storm of years - in the wind blasted north

For a time there were rumors to hear - of shadows and the dark things you fear

And beneath a great mountain hidden in darkness a shadow writhed in chains

Eaten by hate to the edge of madness moving figures - playing his games

All figures set - for the final strike leaving me alone against a hundred - this night

So I grab weapon and shield - ready to face my fate - a quick prayer comes over my lips

To those gods up there who left me up there where my brothers a wait

Courage was what my gods honoured - one against hundred

And with all hope lost I engaged into battle

But suddenly wind was rising and turned into a storm - a blizzard of ice and deadly cold

It did me no harm but smashed my enemy and slayed then one by one

And amidst the blizzard I could see moving shadows of my father

And all my brothers I have lost in battle

So my prayers have been heard in this darkest hour my northern gods have returned to me...

Deadly blizzards - beasts of ice - in northern lands - where northmen rise

Blessed by cold - the winteborn - to give your life for your god you've sworn

Your heart for the lands of winter - and your sword strikes for the light

For your god I will die

And my fate is the shield of mine - born in the land of north and here I will die

Ages went by in a storm of years - in the wind blasted north

For a time there was a legend to hear - of a man who fought shadows and the dark things you fear

Once... in the windblasted north...

In between the wastelands of endless ice and snow

Lays the place abandoned from mankind long ago

Great evil is dwelling here for ages - high in the lands of frost

Now stories turn to legends - and empires fall to dust

Once... in the windblasted north...
