Off to war at night I go,
leave behind that home I know.
Greatness, glory, honor, power,
none can thrill this ancient soul.
I’ve fought for peace and holy Creed
but these, to me, mean nothing now.
They took my land and took my home,
now no loss can grip me so!

I pack my bags and don my blade,
for what comes now it’s all I need.
That Sword I found in depths of old,
it pulses now, and in my mind
I hear the whispers of the dark.
Pushing, pulsing, accept its offer!
“Make them suffer, make them pay,
take it now you can have your way!”

Bathe in the cold embrace.
Let the void seep into your bones.
Don’t be scared, no need to resist.
Those treasonous gods, they trapped us here!
It’s not our fault, We’re innocent!
And what we offer is
Freedom! Vengeance!

Wait, what’s that? Stop and listen.
Hear the sound of the Eastern Horde!
Draw the sword, feed it blood!
Yes, that’s it! More and more!
You know this dance, drown the floor!
Until next time you are on your own!

Lost in the madness of mental disaster...
Who am I and what have I done?
Faint memories of time a long gone.
Distant, shrouding, amorphous smoke.
Struggle, struggle,
through the swamp of the mind.
There’s something here but it’s hard to find.

What am I now? And what before?
Past and present drown my soul.
In the distance, a glimmering hope!
I crawl forward and reality melts...
Shattering glass. A drowning child.
I’m torn apart, devoured by giants.
Incessant whispers in my head.
Is this my voice or a stranger instead?
I must get out, I must get out!
Are those my screams?
How could I know?
Bathe in searing embrace.
Let the fire cleanse your soul.
Your fear is fuel, you cannot resist.
No prison binds us, we're free at last!
It’s not your fault, we’re innocent.
You are only human, nothing more.
Awaken now as light returns.
You stand before Valhalla’s door.
Something’s wrong... You cannot pass...
Your demons remain! They claw you back!

The blade of demons, blade of ill.
It’s powers strong, it crushed my will...
My mind’s my own, I know it well.
Beat back the plague that stole my flesh.
A fatal mistake, overconfident slip!
Seal the cage and capture again.
Back to the gates I’m ushered now.
Ascend, beyond the realm.
