Osterark 03:54
Where the foes come to wreak havoc, on the throes of Aernish law Here are the doors of the kingdom gates, the Osterark! Standing on the border of the old red west, between two timeless kings First upon the line of the Arn's defence, to the last! Praise to the brave souls of the Osterark, We who know no fear! Praise to the lost souls of the Osterark, Never to flee in the face of the enemy! When those curs come to burn and reap, when they march in force They'll have to meet our mighty keep, at Osterark! A stone wall retreat, ten men deep, a dozen bastion halls Flags of violet, gold and pleat, the trumpet blasts! We'll be holding firm when the darkness comes, Never we'll flee the day Lords of old will guard the name of Osterark! Blood has stained this land of ours, it reeks of old betrayal Still we cling to the hills and trees the grass and sodden bark!

Barren, afar they seize and drift, timeless wastes where the sun rare lifts Through the sand and bone, a gloom has grown, and this world decays in sadness alone Oh! The air is cold, and the moon hangs so low Drowning the earth in a pale white glow, hanging as a silver globe, watching below... Where the world ends! There are oceans vast, haunted pasts, dogged banks with bitter masks, drifting forth, to the last Bloody walls of olden halls, blackened shores, open wars Temples where nobody prays, slow decay, far away... -He who roams, he who knows where the world ends shimmer in an empty breeze ever while wind blows Come with me see the withering trees and the roar of the endless sea stretch into infinity- The lakes and reeds vanish gently, withering and dying like an old crippled tree Blood red, the sun sets, under a gray dome of misted stars Two ravens above, circling afar, watching for the first sign of war Under foot are the graves of those who died searching what lay beyond this world...

The Birchthralls are cut in twain, where the power of the Kaiser wanes Further west, the lands of the Fae lie in wait for the day we away! To east lie our fearsome lords, the Arns of the glorious Mark They'll rest easy knowing we are here 'tween their kingdom lands and the ageless Sylvan fear! A bulwark hold built in ages past, to keep the foe at bay They'll be roaring to the battlements, even as the world begins to fade away! Built by sweat and tears and blood, with iron, stone and gold Banners of the violet Traunus bear, flow from our every mighty turret hold! Ever the walls of Briar's Bluff will sway, the wroth of an ancient foreign rage Even as the winds of time come to blow us away... Past the reach of Redstone Tower, lies the key to Aernland's power A stern line of shielded men, steel of heart, spears firm, we fight again! The legions of The Red Dawn stand in wait, for blood and fire is the soldier's fate!

Power 04:01
Power! From the blood, leaking from an ancient time now gone Flowing through the veins to the world beyond, where the mage's reign holds long Father to the kingdom's fate, brother to the world's untold dismay Hail to you, my king, lord of the age and the timeless wastes, of the forest and lakes! Thar! Praise ye now, praise on high! With the rightful claim of the blood's domain, we ride! Power! From the land, from the toils of common man Building the base of a master race, and the temple of true faith Thar! Praise ye now, praise on high! With the rightful claim of the blood's domain, we ride!

Dreamscape 09:03
He who falls deep in sleep, fleet and sweet, 'tween the fires he beat! -Hey la la la ley!- Lost in timeless release, from the burdens he leashed, rest now in peace! -Hey la la la ley!- Fate claims what was lost, in times of old The great storms approach, towers of gold Carried away, on the rise...

Wraithlands 07:54
Far past the peaks of the north beyond the reach of the frozen Khallel reigns a wasteland of ice of boulders and spikes and quartz spires piercing the sky so high even eagles dart by And the sky is choked with coal dust and lye the wind whips filth in your eyes where the sun will never rise a land past it's prime where banshees howl and cry but the world passes them by... Here are the wisps of the earth a black desolate girth with fissures so wide belching ash in the sky and the sun hides 'tween the clouds a dark thunder shroud fleeing those sounds of the winter inbound... Hey! -Suddenly we start to see, the storms of false destiny, crash like waves on the sea, and reason doth flee- Watch how the sun fades to blue and the stars winking true speak only riddles to you In a land ever dark the night lasts an age spilling ink on the page condemned to the fade...
