Jewel of my Empire
02:56
|
|||
I travel beyond the forlorn stars to my mystic queen's lair,
my soul is enlightened, my craft it is strengthened.
Jewel of my empire, armies cannot fight her.
Our strenght is as one, epress of the night.
Blood soaked battle fields, lit by crescent moon.
My blade of moonlit silver, shinning in the waters above.
Jewel of my empire, come to my side.
The mystic queen is risen. Jewel of my empire
[J. Fogarty 4/11/95]

Wonder of the Cosmos
04:07
|
|||
As sleep takes my body and will
My true soul wanders free.
To the stars and beyond...
Time I traverse with my soul
To witness the times before.
When will I see my future
Or hear the whispering tales of the stars.
"All the times that I have wandered
I have been free and yet bound
by my conceptions of this existence.
It is not for me to know the
secrets of the cosmos.
And yet, I wonder"
Beaten to concession I fall
Back to where I came, yet none the wiser
This is our wonder of life
to think all and yet to know nil
Shall rise like a phoenix from my ashes ?
Or shall I fade the essence of time ?
Now we fade...

Christendom Falls
04:40
|
|||
Battle honour and victory shall be ours
To commemorate our dead
To banish their "evil" from this world
And recreate the pagan paradise
Which was trampled under-foot
The witches shall again become the wise,
In this our new land of the young
We, who control the storms,
Our victory is their demise
The "harmony" has broken
And as Christendom falls
They will see the horror of
That which they did do unto us
We shall prevail
[J. Fogarty 8/1/96]

Dragons Burning
03:52
|
|||
They pass in silence, under light of moon
Ancient warriors sorrowful and grey
In never-fading shame
Yet no cries are heard,
silently they pass
We left their Dragons burning
Their one-eyed god is watching
As they pass through endless forests
We slew the warriors from the north,
Who to claim our shores their own
"Enshrouded in lace mist
shields and armour earth stained
The blood of their wounds,
still as crimson as the day it flowed
They are the norse men that failed
Lost to time forever.."
Their thirst for war as they came
Was unquenched at their failure
When their dragons burned on our shores
They were condemned to sleep
Beneath our starlit heavens...
[Inspired by the tale of Brian Boru (926-1014), king of Ireland, who died successfully defending his kingdom against the invading vikings at Clontarf 1014)]

Time Reborn
04:16
|
|||
The visions of my troubled sleep
Brought to me through astral dimensions
Are warnings foretelling events
Of global cataclysmic proportions
I know not the fate for my kinsmen
Yet mine is to remain
The survival of the many, shall be
Through the memory of the few
My dreams descends...
I am the one, I witness the re-birth of time
Few but me have seen beyond the stars
Yet I have seen, I have seen
Crashing through the walls of time
Our world will be cast down
(I am you - you are me ; live through the dream)
I hold the key to unlock the paths
When your end becomes so real
(I am you - you are me ; live through the dream)
Live through the dream
Time is reborn, the soil runes red
Cleansing the circle of life
(I am you - you are me ; live through the dream)
Reborn is our world, as I foresaw
So it begins as it ends
(I am you - you are me ; live through the dream)
Live through the dream - this is our paradise

Gods of Ages Awakened
05:52
|
|||
The shadow seasons have erupted
Pagan souls in slumber
I have foreseen their empire's end
Our souls will re-awaken
To re-kindle the ebbing flames
A new dawn is approaching
We shall awaken !
The winds of mist again swirl
As I hear a clash of steel
The mythical gods awaken
To bond a broken seal
"Dark" battles "light" in this never-ending war
Ancients are summoned, power evermore
Pagan rites are read and
All is said and done
"Dark" and "Light" are ended ;
A new age has begun
[J. Fogarty 3/6/95]

O Elbereth
04:08
|
|||
"I am a servant of a secret fire"
Rising into a blackened sky
An Elven sword held aloft
'O Elbereth' I hear their cry
Glamdring cleaving orken flesh
The battle is high, give your light unto us
Orcrist foe of the dark
Smote those of evil wrath
Casting spells, crafting nature's path,
Calling unto thy risen moon
O Elbereth queen of souls
Elven runes hold your power
O Elbereth light in dark
Grant me enlightened visions
O Elbereth
[Inspired by "Lord of the Rings" by JRR Tolkien]

Keshara Arise
06:09
|
|||
Pierced by my spear of destiny
My heart is ripped and torn
My fury is now ending
And my life's fire is dying embers
Lying dead on the field of battle
I dream of purest life
Of time where I am free
And where my will is my own
I now journey to beyond the stars
From where I once came
None shall know the passion
That drove me to my death
None shall know my dream
Of what once was to be again
I now leave this existence
And leave this place to mindless fools
I did not belong here
My time is somewhere else
Under the sign of the wolf's eye
I came to meet this end
I have died a warrior's death
With christian blood on my hands
From a world that is not mine
I shall depart, never to return...
