And when the shining moon
Ascends upon darkened lands
And when the clouds are still
Before the skies of glass
The torch is burning bright leading us
Towards the hills
Where ancient gathering of
Mortal souls is near
Our hearts are filled with pride
We walk alone in mist
Our dragonblood awakes
Through darkness of the years
The magic of this age
So distant and forgotten
Dwells within all that is lost
And finds its way our...soul
The nature all around
Has silenced all its speak
The waiting is no more
Our torches now unlit
The priest and mage are ascending
To upper throne
The calling has begun and our dawn is born
Visions of ancient shrines
Sounds of a long lost age
The ghostly apparitions chant
In our name
Great and vast battlefields
And fires scorching lands
Prophecies unforgotten
Lessons to bring the peace into our own realms
Let this magic
Bring us strenght and wisdom
To overcome
This age of strife
The crown of the lord
Shall be worn again
By the one
Who shall not deceive
He who seeks
Only fame
Shall burn in the fires of defeat
Only heroes may walk these darkened lands
The true godlike power
Is deep inside of yourself
But you must know
Where to look for it

The Ancestrall Call
07:40

Gorgeous sunlit landscapes
And dusk spills over the skies
Spirits of the forest arising
And roaming in the shadows of the trees
The stones on the wall of our stronghold
Reflecting the last rays of today's sun
I see the unearthly visions
Gathering
No trumpets will sound at this appearance
From the deep past of our forebearers
And they shall come in peace
Many men have travelled through this place
Many have left their brave souls here
Yet none of them is remembered
They are lost in the dark corridors of time
For honor! the distant battle call echoes
In the winds that carry the past
Defenders of our lands
Once proudly stood before
The enemies that brought fear and awe
For our children! the last ray of hope glimpses
In the light that shines upon the swords
Protectors of our people
Once proudly died
So that we can live on
Remember these legends of old
Remember those hearts of gold

My good blade carves the casques of men,
My tough lance thrusteth sure,
My strength is as the strength of ten,
Because my heart is pure.
The shattering trumpet shrilleth high,
The hard brands shiver on the steel,
The splinter'd spear-shafts crack and fly,
The horse and rider reel:
They reel, they roll in clanging lists,
And when the tide of combat stands,
Perfume and flowers fall in showers,
That lightly rain from ladies' hands.
When down the stormy crescent goes,
A light before me swims,
Between dark stems the forest glows,
I hear a noise of hymns:
Then by some secret shrine I ride;
I hear a voice but none are there;
The stalls are void, the doors are wide,
The tapers burning fair.
The shrill bell rings, the censer swings,
And solemn chaunts resound between.
Sometime on lonely mountain-meres
I find a magic bark;
I leap on board: no helmsman steers:
I float till all is dark.
A gentle sound, an awful light!
Three angels bear the holy Grail:
With folded feet, in stoles of white,
On sleeping wings they sail.
Ah, blessed vision! blood of God!
My spirit beats her mortal bars,
As down dark tides the glory slides,
And star-like mingles with the stars.
Then move the trees, the copses nod,
Wings flutter, voices hover clear:
"O just and faithful knight of God!
Ride on! the prize is near."
So pass I hostel, hall, and grange;
By bridge and ford, by park and pale,
All-arm'd I ride, whate'er betide,
Until I find the holy Grail.
