AS TORCHES RISE

I take a look around,
the blood of our men has painted the ground.
There are corpses lying everywhere.
Some try to pray,
some cry in despair.
As our enemy cuts it's way through our lines,
desperate thoughts take over our minds.
Is this to be the end of our days?

The overwhelming enemy
rides our front lines down,
with hate in their faces,
with hate in their sound.
Hundreds of men lying wounded on the ground.
No one can help them.
''To their destiny they're bound''

I think of my family.
I think of my home,
interrupted by a fearful tone.
''We're practically dead!
They'll slaughter us all!''
Through a cloud of dust,
I see our right wing fall

This cursed war,
will swa11ow us all.
What will happen to our loved ones,
the ones we're fighting for?

I will not stand,
and watch this army fall.
We will fight back.
Hear us roar!

Pull your lines together.
Our fury is greater than the worst stormy weather.
I grasp the sword in my hand.
This is for my brothers.
This is for my land.
With blood on my face,
to battle I ride.
With dust in my eyes,
with faith in my heart,
until death,
do us part

From the skies,
a man came down to Earth,
he lead our way and rode first.
How dark the night may seem,
a new day always heals

I stroll across the field,
the morning has broken,
our victory's been sealed.
The hooves have plowed the ground to mud,
familiar faces in ponds of blood.
A snowflake lands on my face,
melts and runs away.
The sun rose red,
that day

ONE MORE

Gathered round the wooden table,
same tavern as the nights before.
I brace myself against the gable,
sunlight pushes it's way through a gap in the door

As the golden sunbeams *it my eyes,
I stand up and raise my pint,
up high

One more,
for our brothers who fought beside us.
One more and forward again.
Once more,
we'll fight and conquer,
until we'll meet again

Staring at the stools not taken,
I reach for my tankard of ale.
The silence remains unbroken.
All you hear is a tinkle of maille

As the golden sunbeams,
reach my eyes,
I stand up and raise my pint,
up high

Like a raging thunderstorm,
we flew down the forested hill,
tree trunks and rocks passing by.
The endless ranks,
stood waiting out in the open field.
My fingers gripped the handle of my sword

With full power,
we smashed into their lines.
The ground shook,
swords tasted flesh.
Hooves trampling over men,
screaming for their lives.
The battle raged,
until both troops were threshed

Grief no more over friends who died,
that day will come to us all.
Until then we shall fight with pride,
raise our pints till the dawn

Grief no more over friends who died,
that day will come to us all.
Side by side we shall ride once more,
when the Horn calls for War

Feeling low and heavy hearted,
interrupted by a distant alarm.
Seems like the war has started,
may it be for our brothers in arms

Once again that golden sunbeam,
reaches my eyes.
I stand up and raise my sword,
up high

One more,
for our brothers who fought beside us.
One more and forward again.
Once more,
we'll fight and conquer,
until we'll meet again

One more,
for our brothers who fought beside us.
One more and forward again.
Once more,
we'll fight and conquer.
We'll see you when we die.
We'll see you when we die

This is gud.Yeah,epic was the word i was searchin for

Yay! Turisas! I only hav one track of theirs from MetalHammer mag bt luv it...! Must get mor!!!

That lisko was wierd

Unfortunate, to hear of Georg's state, did anything get released as Koylio? Doubtfull as the time between name change wasnt long, i like this group, only saw a few tracks on web, but i was instantly taken.

Great lyrics posted, lyrics, as well as music, maybe the reason i like this band, and the developing a bias toward thier genre, i love story telling lyrics. The whole point of song

Then again, Hel and Viikate are in languages i dont understand, so kinda discounts the lyrics as a reason...maybe were not meant to question, or explain why.
