Tales From Midgard

It all began just like a whisper on the wind, the silent echo of the past The world is changing you can feel it everywhere, since the lost have been found The cruel and evil spirits rising once again in the land of the doom A golden circle is the key he awaits to put the world in a gloom Hear out, hear out a promise was deceived Beware, beware a warning was received In his tower the dark lord is forging plans to fulfil And if his will can be done his kingdom will come Now fire and battles everywhere his spies and puppets cross the land All free races have to answer to the threat and fight for their freedom The missing pieces to this riddle must be found make this bane come undone For those of knowledge signs would lead them on the way to break the spell they were under Ride out, ride out follow the traces Beware, beware bring light to dark places Just remember when the end is near we must stand for the call By the dawn that is rising his kingdom must fall Beware, beware still after so much time Get down, get down danger’s all around Evil forces is on the move his spirit raises to try to claim what is his- but this Kingdom and tyrant must die

Look I tell you, the moment calls you though I hoped it would never come Your part begins here, the final mist clear don’t wait ‘til tomorrow leave tonight These are the days without a trust, and travel in secret, yes you must Deny yourself now and all your fears how, be brave and great forces ‘ll be with you I hear his voice in the night, a prophecy of no morning light Unless we succeed to tie back the hands of hate in the gathering darkness Be on your guard now, get out of Shire and stay of the roads, be still by night at the homely inn is where I’ll meet you, good faith, don’t you leave him out of sight I can’t relieve this burden that heavily rests upon your shoulders I’m sad to leave you now but I will seek advice at the head of my order He will help us to face our destiny I hear his voice in the night, a prophecy of no morning light Unless we succeed to tie back the hands of hate and the gathering darkness I hear his voice in the night, this demon eye hunts across the sky Shadows move in the dark the enemy rides again in the gathering darkness I hear his voice in the night, a prophecy of no morning light Unless we succeed to tie back the hands of hate in the gathering darkness I hear his voice in the night, this demon eye hunts across the sky His magic’s too strong my will come undone before this cold and gathering darkness

We are the silent riders we move like the wind The nine in black we cross the night Not dead and we’re not living, once great kings of man Now we ’re the beasts inside your head In shelter of darkness Our terror is constant here In league with all evil all hope disappear Ah- The Demons are riding, controlling the earth and sky The Demons are flying, run for your life We serve the great deceiver, enslaved by the eye Behold our presence hear us cry Our mission is forever, we will never stop We hunt from low to mountain tops Our arm passes swiftly The strong will of our commander Will be done within time Just a matter of time Ah- The Demons are riding, controlling the earth and sky The Demons are flying, stabbing with steely knives Ah- The Demons are riding, controlling the earth and sky The Demons are flying, run for your life Ahh- you see us coming, riders of darkness Ahh- you feel our presence the riders of darkness will break you with fear

I am the chosen to find and lead you I was sent here by the old and grey We’re running out of time I won’t deceive you, trust me I know the evil that is on your trail now, are you afraid? Not enough! What you fear is what will never stop hunting you, you know I speak the truth Into the wild, no one must know we are heading through peril land Into the wild, danger might show we must slip through these groping hands Keep up, stay close we must move out of sight now, change direction, lead them all astray. Mind the flashes in the night from the distant mountain top Three more days and still no sign of rescue, I feel the enemy is drawing near so light a fire gather ‘round we’re expecting company, let’s face our enemy Five out of nine here in the wild, no retreat now we cannot fail Five out of nine here in the wild, I know that danger is on our tail My only protection- a flaming brand of wood I put on my ring, I feel I should With helmets of silver and steely knives The pale king in lead he claims my life Escape in the wild, fly to the ford No retreat now we cannot fail Escape in the wild, from the Black Riders´ swords , they’re right behind my back Escape in the wild, fly to the ford, we are heading through peril land Escape in the wild, from the Black Riders´ swords, so close to rescue but still so far

The air is cool and clear when we are gathered here to find the answers to questions asked Midgard is standing on the brink of destruction There’s no escape it must unite us all I was there so long ago along with the weakened king At the crack of fire where it once was made This opportunity he let it slip away Is still the reason for this baneful gold Can’t you see it’s a gift, we are all the foes of darkness Let’s use it with its strength, surely that would bring Him down No, this one you cannot wield - no one of us can It turns your good intentions around It leaves only one choice - a road hard unforeseen We must return it to the fire it once came This threat can’t be undone by any power we possess here This failure must be redeemed in the boiling fires of doom I’ll take the gold through peril land, weak as I am I will surrender to my task I’ll face the dangers you´ve foreseen, but for me yet unknown I’ll go though I do not know the way Now here is a resolution of what must come to be You’ll have companions to walk with you A fellowship of hope - each race will be included here Wizards, dwarfs, elves and man will help you see your mission through Wisdom and the brave will be your guide through peril lands You all go freely with no oath will bind you to this quest With you we send our prayers, hallowed be thy name

(nifelheim andvari avathar taranis palantir) One more defeat - it’s in the air, one more retreat - another way Now where to go, he blocks the east and the west, north and south- who can tell us what’s best ...we go through the gates of doom We tried the snowy mountains, a foul voice was on the air, made rocks and ice come in our way, yeah We had to go below it through the mines of Dwarfish Doom Four days of darkness and who knows what At the gates we stand, confusion in mind. Hope we’ll understand the riddle in time Speak friend and welcome in to the darkness of Dwarfish Doom Shine halls of mystery King Sindri let you in to the darkness of Dwarfish Doom Shine halls of mystery - a nameless fear is hiding here in the dark No choice but to go ahead now through what looks more like a tomb let’s hope our presence here will pass undiscovered yeah At king Sindris´ grave We face our enemy, a cave troll nearly made our mission in vain We run to the beat of drums towards the bridges of Glorian Doom Shine halls of mystery Shadows and flames appear from the darkness of Glorian Doom Shine halls of mystery The nameless fear gets a face in here in the deep Run, run, run, Our hope so small our loss so great We fall apart, we spread like seeds in the wind Lead us on, we follow you crownless king Towards the forest of Evergreen We must be moving on now, so get on up and dry your tears I’ll take you further so hold your fears. In the Evergreen we can heal our wounds I sense she’s calling us the Lady of the starlight It’s time to say goodbye to the darkness of Glimmering Dome Shine halls of mystery We leave you sad and grey in the darkness of Glimmering Dome Shine halls of mystery It’s time to say goodbye to the darkness of Glimmering Dome Shine halls of mystery We leaving, we leave you sad and grey in the darkness of Glimmering Dome Shine halls of mystery Shine forever, shine forever …

You can watch my mirror and the things you’ll see They can lead to happiness break or set you free Past, present or days to come what you find I can’t tell I believe you pass the test, if you break your spell What I see is an ocean in the gathering dark It’s raging with a storm under blood red skies A silhouette of a tall ship is coming in from the west A city on a river with a seven-thorn hall Then a hole in the ground black as black can be And the eye that burns like fire closing up on me My head is growing heavy from the ring that I bear Like a chain around my neck, help I’m falling, I’m falling down Rest your head you little one have some faith in me All this pain and misery I have also seen You are wise and you are brave and oh so beautiful Queen of the morning – relieve me from this For my mission I am weak I feel so tired and small If you want It then you’ll have It you rise where I fall I can still deny the temptation what would you think I’d be A queen so cruel and beautiful this world has never seen Can’t you see it’s destiny, what must be must be You just wait there will be a King, carrier of The Ring We will diminish and fade like writing in sand ocean sweeps away The morning rise shiny and fair, we sail to the west leave but memories

My creed and my faith will build me an army strong to conquer and end the world of man Hunt, hunt my whip on your shoulders Hunt, hunt run like the wind Hunt, hunt these are my orders Hunt, hunt let the chase begin Seek and destroy my savage warrior With you I’m placing all my hope To find the precious that will lift me to the sky A new time will arise Now track them down, they move from the Evergreen they are alone and afraid, like the fools they are Make no mistake, kill them all spare no one and what they carry you bring it all to me, no plunder Hunt, hunt my whip on your shoulders Hunt, hunt run like the wind Hunt, hunt these are my orders Hunt, hunt let the chase begin Seek and destroy my savage warrior With you I’m placing all my hope To find the precious that will lift me to the sky A new time will arise

My friend I know what you been thinking I see you suffer day by day Let me ease your mind advise you in the choice you’re trying to make ‘ Course there are other ways to do this Come with me my city waits for you, take the time to see things clear Why throw away what once can save you Stay away from me I don’t need your advice anymore Can’t you see you’ve changed you´ve lost yourself Your ambition is shining through but I know what I have to do It’s only fear that holds me back What do you mean, I’m not a thief but I won’t beg you And watch you spoil the chance we have It might be true that elves and wizards cannot use it But won’t you have some faith in man Behind whose protection you so long have slumbered The Ring would give a the leader the power to command. If no one else why not myself? All men would flock under my banner Stay away from me I don’t need your advice anymore Can’t you see you’ve changed you´ve lost yourself You think your plan is cunning to but I know what I have to do My mind is clear I’m on my way Stay away my lad, this road I must walk all alone Can’t you see I’m off on danger trail Master I know that well enough but this road was meant for the both of us May the others find a safer way, together we will stay Goodbye until forever I’m afraid…Yet we may
