Arise from ancient graves
Sealed with mighty spells
Breakable by the will
To crush all life
I feel the dark, embrace my flesh
The north winds cry their siren's wail until the bitter end of light
The stars align
The paths entwine to lead me further in to endless night
I feel their call, I hear the wisht hounds howl in celebration
With frozen chains, the dread king reigns
The Lord of Winter 'throned 'til the very end of days
Spectres of the ancient world
Unholy ones gathering to ride out of ice once more
♪
I see the congregation rise above the snowy peaks
Over crumbling ruins and the strongholds of old
Through the deepest valleys and over castle walls
The never-ending cavalcade, a portent to be feared
Ancient is their wisdom, bound by holy night
Hunters clad in hoary iron descending from the skies
The horses march with rotten hooves above the icy ground
Spreading fear and chaos to conquer all light
This is the end
♪
With the blessing of nightfall, our forces gather
From Stygian depths they ascend
Crypt and tomb has emptied
The vaults of kings storied and grim
Ancient warriors lusting for death
Sleep in fear ye feeble ones
For cold death is at hand
The windowpanes shatter and the earth starts to growl
And the dead rise all around you
Sacred night, O holy night
Our swords burn with celestial fire
Twilight forged armour reflects the black stars
Under winter constellations 'til the end
