DARKEST ERA LYRICS

1. The Morrigan

Goddess of war, serpent of doom
Destroying all who encounter you
But there is one who you won't kill
There is one whose blood won't spill

Seeker of souls, taker of heads
I watch you conjure war emong men
I will strike each form you take
Till you return to me and steal my fate

For one last glory I will prevail
The Morrigan she calls out my name

Guarding the borders of my homeland
I slay the warriors of Cruachan
With bravery and battle rage
I kill them all in my domain

She appears to me before my eyes
Baying for blood in each disguise
Tell me now, how does it end?
Whisper to me, prophetess of death

A maiden wept as I came to the ford
With bloodied shield and broken sword
I could see they were my own
She stood lamenting this fallen soul

She disappeared from my sight
I knew I would not return from this fight
A black crow waits before I die
As I depart, she'll watch my spirit fly

2. An Ancient Fire Burns

3. Beneath The Frozen Sky

4. Heathen Burial

5. Visions Of The Dawn

I walk among these ruins, these ruins of an age
When ancient dreams of splendour came alive
And our hearts thundered like the sound of a thousand men...bound for war

As night unfolds I'm haunted by a sleepless dream
Until the flames of the dawn break the sky
Once more I long
For visions of the dawn

Footsteps of the fallen echo round me where I stand
We are bound in sorrow and in grief
Eternal twilight, under light of an evening star
We forerver chase the fading star

Troubled are the dreams of those whose days are these
When darkness grips us all within its mire
And though our hearts may long to return
In memories of the past we cannot dwell

Wandering ever onward, like those who went before
I've tasted all that bitterness has to offer
But though our hearts may lie in ruin
Strength and Iron will shall see us through

6. To Face The Black Tide

7. Poem To The Gael

A somber sky above your head
A lonely path below
And hand on heart I cannot see
The light to guide me home
And so it is the end of our days
So walk with me till morning breaks
And so it is the end of our days
So walk with me till morning breaks

We travel down this trodden path
A maze of stone and mire
Just hold my hand as we pass by
A sea of blazing pyres
And so it is the end of our days
So walk with me till morning breaks
And so it is the end of our days
So walk with me till morning breaks

A somber sky above your head
A lonely path below
And hand on heart I cannot see
The light to guide me home
So sing me songs of love and war
Songs of hope and pain
For we are lost within a dream
Unyeilding once again
And so it is the end of our days
So walk with me till morning breaks
And so it is the end of our days
So walk with me till morning breaks

We travel down this trodden path
A maze of stone and mire
Just hold my hand as we pass by
A sea of blazing pyres
And every thought and every word
That's ever come to me
Has fallen to the great beyond
With hope and memory
And so it is the end of our days
So walk with me till morning breaks
And so it is the end of our days
So walk with me till morning breaks

Aaaaaa.....
