lyrics

Verse 1 Galen

As we enter the valley called Iðunn, in cities of old
We hear echoes of glories unfold.
And the endless plains of white, snow covered land of the sky
Country of the northwestern eye.

Pre-Chorus 1 Órækja

But the sun has gone dark now,
And the winds of frost blow black
Nordania your soul taken aback.

Chorus

To the north, from far, past the western eye
Where the ice mountains, kiss a crystal sky
We the Gethron born wayfarers ride
To the kingdom of light.

Verse 2 Leiðólfr

In the halls of Frigg Palace, the wintry air runs cold and still
For King Váli has been taken ill.

Pre-Chorus 2

The crown prince stands alone now
To lead all the Nordane kin,
Against the storm now waiting to begin.

Chorus

Solo (Blackmane)

Pre-Chorus 3: Nikulás

Fearful are these times we live in
As the Dark Star poisons the air,
But we must never waiver, or give in to despair!

Chorus

Chorus 2: Lomek

And the king now gone in his madness calls,
But with three voices, shaking chamber walls
A name never heard, now claims these halls,
Erebona's night falls.
