Now let us go and do this thing
This thing that death, to us shall bring
The dance of heaven, dance of hell
The dance that mortals dance so well
...

There stood the wolf in the winter wind
Under the pale moonlight
There stood the wolf in the winter wind
An awesome, fearful sight
...

The Winter Wolves are coming
They are drawing ever near
The Winter Wolves are coming
They smell our blood, our fear
...

A dim and misty morning, sunlight did not shine that day
A grim and gruesome warning, o' death within the gray
"O' dark things in the shadows, take me not; I pray
I have so much of life to live, I cannot die this day! "
...

Burning, burning, ever bright
A soul born unto flame
Burning, burning, day and night
No words could give her name
...

10 steps to greatness
10 steps to pain
10 steps to glory
10 steps to fame
...

Blood sweat and tears
Hard work and pain
Long days and long nights
Long walks in the rain
...

All of these things inside my head, all the worlds inside my mind
All of the living and the dead, but to this world I’m almost blind
All of the creatures born anew, all of the monsters of the night
All of these things I wish were true, remove my truth from my own sight
...

Sitting here in solitude
Alone inside my mind
I need a bit of altitude
Need to feel that high
...

If I search and seek inside my mind
The deeper I look the more I find
Exists a spiritual duality of darkness and light
My soul mirrors the world, the day and the night
...

From the Great Fire’s ash, a new Phoenix shall rise
It’s glory is born from another’s demise
It’s mighty wings spread, as the Fire Bird sings
It’s voice heals the world, as it spreads it’s great wings
...

Inside my mind I wander
In my own world I am lost
The strange things I have pondered
Cover the ground like frost
...

Fires dull to ember, as water douses flame
I fade into the darkness, leaving not but name
My deeds forever finished, my final song in sung
I go now to my resting place, the Reaper's Bell has rung
...

Joined by law and ceremony
In the eyes of man and God
On this day of matrimony
By your beauty I am awed
...

Come now into darkness, come now into death
Come now into shadow, give to me your breath
Come now I've been waiting, since your day of birth
Come now simple mortal, you're no longer bound to earth
...

Enemies encircle us, surrounding
The war drums rhythmic, pounding
'Death and chaos, we have come! '
The chant to beating drum
...

Now I lay me down to rest
But still I do not sleep
My heart does pound within my chest
As I lay in darkness deep
...

Why am I awake you ask?
Why do I not rest?
I've yet to finish this night's task
I've yet to do my best
...

Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds
Now sit back and enjoy as the story unfulrs
This is a land of nightmares, of spirits unclean
Where the darkest horror is the one yet unseen
...

In darkness dreams come crawling
Into darkness I am falling
Demons come to me, dreaming
In my own dreams I am screaming
...
