Victory

In the embrace of unending wind and the falling snow
I brave the cold of a winter's night
Night is falling fast
All my friends are gone
Grey clouds obscure the stars above
My strength is failing
The end is near
I tread my path in silence.

Fading away
All the distant memories
Searching afar for signs of change
Trees grow new rings
Earth ages with resilient might
Years flow like a tireless stream.

A hero's calamity
Neither loneliness nor cold
Doom may befall me on the open road
My name is solitude
Courage guides my hand
I make my own destiny
I shall prevail.

Bellowing battlehorns
A cloud of birds fleeing in the misty sky
A swarm of distant shadows
Flames consume all and everything in their path
They are coming.

Why do you think I care for the rich or the poor
I'm on my way toward the dawn of war
With fire in my heart and the wind in my hair
I leave all earthly in search for victory.

Cry for glory
Cry for victory
Cry for death
Cry eternally.

And so he wandered through desolate wastelands beyond the spheres of time
Barely outreaching the cold grasp of Death
His thirst for wisdom
His quest for glory
Forever his life
Forever his fate.
