The Gates of Slumber
EP • 2008
Ancient terror, of the snows. Wyrm of ice, where the north wind blows. Hollow song, and alien form. Frozen death, its primeval storm. Waves of cold. Chill your veins. Haunting eyes drive you insane. Bone yard atop the world. Oublet of ice, song as its lure. Palace of skulls who came before. Ice worm, song is its lure. Simple fool, you come when I call. Roused my anger. Invade my sacred hall. Fiery wheel, splits the cold. Cimmerian howl, makes him bold. White hot axe splits the air. Yakhamar dies, in the ice worm's lair. Palace of skulls who came before. Ice worm, song is its lure.

As the sun breaks above the ground An old man stands on the hill As the ground warms to the first rays of light A bird song shatters the still His eyes are ablaze, see the madman in his gaze Fly, on your way, like an eagle, fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle, fly and touch the sun Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears Looks the old man in the eye As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd In the name of God, my father, I'll fly His eyes seem so glazed as he flies on the wings of a dream Now he knows his father betrayed Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave Fly, on your way, like an eagle, fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle, fly touch the sun Fly, on your way, like an eagle, fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle, fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle, fly touch the sun On your way, like an eagle, fly...

In the land of the lost horizon Where the queen lies dark and cold When the stars won't shine, then the story's told When the world was milk and honey And the magic was strong and true Then the strange ones came and the people knew That the chains were on In the land of no tomorrow Where you pray just to end each day And your life just slowly melts away Each day you hear the sand as it moves and whispers Come and sail on my golden sea Maybe one day you'll be just like me...and that's free But still your chains are on You've seen them walking on the water You've seen flying through the sky They were frightening in the darkness They had rainbows in their eyes When the world was milk and honey And the magic was strong and true The the strange ones came and the people knew That the chains were on That the chains were on In the land of the lost horizon Where the chains are on In the land of milk and honey Still the chains are on Where the queen lies dark and lonely Still the chains were on When the world was new and magic Still the chains are on
