Prologue (Kajtar's Fate)
01:30
|
|||
Innocents and culprits;
It doesn't matter when it comes to war.
Killing and not dying, never mercy,
No flattery, the battle weeps,
For the lack of sense.
This time and a hundred times more.

Heir to the Crown
05:01
|
|||
There once was a prince of a far-off land,
Abandoned by sense.
—I’ll be the king, I’ll be the king.
He will slay in delight.
—I will fight, I’ll die,
For the crown shall be mine,
In time, welcome the King.
His name, Thostar, will remain in our memories.
His insanity led to war; Kajtar’s biggest brawl.
Closing his eyes, what he sees,
Is far from real, and he rides,
To the wild, fierce and harsh.
Heir to the crown of the kingdom,
Insanity is his vast motive,
Nightmares hunt our prince in the night,
Forever we’ll hear the sound of that fight.
—I was born in solitude,
As my mother gave me this curse.
My father fought for Kajtar,
As he forgot about his son.
I wanted to see him die,
To rise and fight my own fight.
Because what I needed to become the king,
Was to show what I was worth,
Or let the old be replaced by the young.
Closing his eyes, what he sees,
Is far from real, and he rides,
To the wild, fierce and harsh.
Heir to the crown of the kingdom,
Insanity is his vast motive,
Nightmares hunt our prince in the night,
Forever we’ll hear the sound of that fight.
—I would let myself be killed by,
An axe, a sword, if that gave me the crown,
But I am worth to fight, bring home the trigg,
That I shall hunt.

Creatures
03:39
|
|||
Kajtar's prince goes out for a hunt,
Earning his trophy, becoming the king,
He doesn't know of the fear it will bring,
To the judges when the triggs confront him,
Hide and prepare, there's no despair,
Looking to fight a wild lightning strike,
We're getting close to the beast's death,
Feel the warmth of its breath as it knows we'll oppose.
Creatures, creatures attacking us,
Fight with bravery, this is real fun,
Creatures creatures attacking us,
Denra help us or we'll surely fall. [bis]
No way of fleeing no way to escape,
We are surrounded by too many beasts.
We cannot do much more than accept,
Our deaths with courage and start to pray,
—Denra our Savior, send Hairjeithar,
'fought in our lives we'll do so as we die.
Creatures, creatures attacking us,
Fight with bravery, this is real fun,
Creatures, creatures attacking us,
Denra help us or we'll surely fall. [bis]

The Madness of the King
04:07
|
|||
—Kajtar falls into deep sleep, I am watching it,
For the fire’s down again, it's time for me to sing.
There is the king, he fades in delirium,
His fantasies have killed his father,
Poison...
He wants to take over the land of his enemies,
He will crush, and he won't repent,
For his madness has the death scent.
And we try to scream,
And we try to escape,
But we know that we will not forget.
—I will raise over the corpses of a hundred fallen warrior lands,
I will never run away, ‘cause it's my own fate.
Our king has a silent scream,
That he hides of his true self.
He asks himself:
—How do you feel about dying?
He sings Death songs,
He sings poetry,
That will never see any light.
—I will raise over the Aithar and Naithar that face myself,
I will never run away, until my corpse awakes.
Thostar's mania,
Crown's disgrace,
Starting the chase.
—The fire raises my pain all over the fields.
The only way to rear again hides in magic beasts,
I will cross the valleys and... fear the madness of your king.

Ruins of a Kingdom
04:06
|
|||
We are lost,
If our fate is following,
The insanity made tharai.
Don’t try to hunt a
Beast made out of essence,
Of a God, of a Moon, ‘cause it burns,
The dreams of a lifetime.
—I’m Thostar and I am off to war,
I will rise with the help of the rak,
And if my plan fails, I will fight,
With my sword, with my fists,
Fear my monsters.
Aidaran called to arms,
Dining kureton for lunch,
The king kept fighting back,
Bringing the kingdom to the ruins.
The ruins of a kingdom fall under foe’s dominion,
Don’t worship the discord; the king will die in crimson.
Dishonor, crown’ll vanish, recession for king’s madness,
Disfavor, Fifth Theirno, the end of Kajtar’s darkness.
Behind the frozen wall lies the mighty dark king.
He will plan his revenge.
—Here I am, watch me burn, ice can hurt me as well,
But I will raise all over Norwald.
We are lost,
For Aidaran’s taking over,
Our domains and realms,
Bloodshed.”
The ruins of a kingdom fall under foe’s dominion,
Don’t worship the discord; the king will die in crimson.
Dishonor, crown’ll vanish, recession for king’s madness,
Disfavor, Fifth Theirno, the end of Kajtar’s darkness. [bis]

Awaking the Beast
04:24
|
|||
When Thostar had fallen a trick could save him,
As truth strangled him, when he failed.
Freeing loredain's Curse, driving it crazy against,
People of its own: disloyalty.
Awaking Neilin's loved beast,
Trying to crush people of enemy's side.
Bringer of the night,
Wings of doom and might.
But the rak didn't fall for the spell he tried,
Waking up from its lethargy, defending with warrior pride.
Kajtar's king could not forestall the death call,
From Aldraithar's wings.
Try to battle, never shudder,
Be ready to brawl.
When the rak reared, our king tried to flee caught in fear,
Leaving behind all he had, didn't want to take it back.
Legends of a kreg-hak, well known for bringing down beasts,
Pushed Kajtar far, to distant realms, to amend all king’s mistakes.
Bringer of the night,
Wings of doom and might.

The Dagger Wielder
04:22
|
|||
What happened to the Mad King is now History.
He was devoured by the beast,
But the war was still going on, and Kajtar sought for help,
In foreign realms.
The only way was to trap the rak,
With the dagger of the Gods.
—You, my son, will ride the night, for no one else can.
He was the only one that could,
Bear the weapon with his pure heart.
During the eclipse, Khelmet rised.
The rak started the flight, to the sky.
The dagger shined, even in the dark.
For its fate was to end the war.
The battle of that time remembers.
As what Khelmet showed was heroic.
Deep in our hearts he will be,
“The Wielder”, he saved Norwald once again.
—When the time has come, I will fight to win or die,
For the Gods are with us, taking care of my fate.

Khelmet and Hakko
05:23
|
|||
The fight of a warring hero will be heard in our songs,
For the legends have spoken and we will tell you no wrong.
Khelmet was flying on Hakko, “the Destroyer of the Light”,
And he saved all of the Norwald when he jumped and gave his life.
Beyond the deep forest lives the Night Beast,
Bringer of the shadows and of grief,
Kills every piece of will,
Its fall shall be so shrill.
The fight of a warring hero will be heard in our songs,
For the legends have spoken and we will tell you no wrong.
Khelmet was flying on Hakko, “the Destroyer of the Light”,
And he saved all of the Norwald when he jumped and gave his life.
Khelmet will fight risking his life.
But the rak will try to ravage him.
When the night has come, and the darkness shines bright,
The war has started on the fiend's head,
Eclipse.
Brought by It,
Jump now or die in vain!
The fight of a warring hero will be heard in our songs,
For the legends have spoken and we will tell you no wrong.
Khelmet was flying on Hakko, “the Destroyer of the Light”,
And he saved all of the Norwald when he jumped and gave his life.
Eternal war, song of the bards.
Will stay in our hearts, as Khelmet lived to die.
When the night comes, we'll see the sky fading...
...to dark. But dawn will arrive, for Norwald is meant to keep going. We've lost heroes, but also monsters. We've seen what you would never believe, as we are here to tell our essence's most pure fantasy.
The fight of a warring hero will be heard in our songs,
For the legends have spoken and we will tell you no wrong.
Khelmet was flying on Hakko, “the Destroyer of the Light”,
And he saved all of the Norwald when he jumped and gave his life.
Remember our tales, as we will bring more, we will fight more, we will battle, for our dreams will be back to the legendary place where we belong.

Ballad for a Fallen Hero
04:28
|
|||
Pray at the end of the mighty war,
For his essence, for our ace’s gore.
Peace arrived to our land with endless strength.
For the pure will always soar.
His sacrifice will rest in our hearts.
Fearless he once was, our guardian.
Khelmet fought back, triumphant.
Champion: of our lands, of our essence,
Songs will be sung to his memory.

Epilogue (Rak, rak)
02:23
|
|||
Let us sing, for the fields,
Where our hero deceased.
Raise your drinks, and your hands,
War can only bring pain.
Rak, rak, it's time to celebrate,
Peace finally came to this tavern,
Rak, rak, our hero won again,
Against damage and emptiness,
Rak, rak, anlo fore mene ten,
Khelmet silhende ak tharai ter,
Rak, rak, silmunpo eh fur Hakko,
Ennare silbande tan finan mae.
