Let the Gods Decide

1.
This can't wait for long Something must be done The will of the clan Is being burnt by the sun They've lost many to the cold And more are soon to come The river's dried up And the game are far from home The time has come Brazen ancient rights Flesh and bone to blood and gore The gods will send their might Emrik takes a stand Against Malcolm Vangdal He's become complacent And it's sure to kill them all Let the gods decide Whom shall lead the clan Fight to the death Rise of one man A circle has formed No weapons shall be drawn A battle of the fist Til the victor is found Emrik is young Full of ambition The fury inside Is all that controls him The fight is horrid Strikes begin to rain A frenzy of blood Begins to pour from the slain A leader has been chosen Rising from the brawl He holds the jawbone of Malcolm Vangdal

Upon the slopes of Mt. Magni The ranger Olfred makes his way To Fenrir's Jaws where The river once roared He treks further up The barren river bed to find The source of his clan's suffering And their strife How can this be? They have broken peace And now the Galeridge must pay Before my eyes What do I see? We are betrayed Drought and deceit He stands before a towering wall Crafted by man To choke out the life Of the Brazenrun clan Olfred stares in horror As the Galeridge approach Now his life will be forfeit For what he has found My son Take this Spike and drive it Through the Chest of The trespasser Show no Weakness Never disappoint me We must Show the clans our strength Impale him on Helgard's dam Brazenrun must know Know we are strong Too strong for peace Before my eyes What do I see? This murdered man Drought and deceit Blood on my hands How can this be? We have betrayed Drought and deceit

Search Party 03:14
A group of men has been formed to search for Brazen ranger, who's gone Emrik lets down no man New leader sends best possessed It's not like Olfred to be gone this long Talent of this ranger to be crossed is lost High up on the Magni is where he must be Our troop of six will find him, no matter the cost Cross the ears of Fenrir, and follow the path Walk upon the walls of a structure and death Galeridge clan Murdered their friend Drove a spike into his throat And hung him to die Left him up on the dam Which is choking their clan Emrik must be alerted These walls must be destroyed

Questioning 03:08
We traveled the distance But how much have we lost? There's nothing left to believe and It will never be the same Never have we seen this This deathly cost There were times we tried to pull through But then we saw them die It will never be the same Never the same, no hope remains Questions are what fill the mind Transcending words that we can find Thomas led his men And Jacob's who they found Lone intruder, sole survivor And his fellow men have died Bury all his men And take them away The damage they've caused can't be undone We won't forget, We won't forgive Blood surrounds the death around Blood on the ground, no life to be found Questions are what fill the mind Transcending words that we can find Life is now a bleak existence Left with only bare subsistence Sandor speaks Look at me Listen to me Answer me Take him away, take him away, take him away

Emrik, our men are lost Slain by the Galeridge clan Fell into their trap Part of their heinous plan A mighty wall has risen up To block our river's flow Olfred was impaled upon it Why this is we cannot know We will March to The jaws of the great wolf To slay the ones Who've taken life from us We will March on To reclaim our water And avenge the slain Of Brazenrun Mobilize for war We know what we fight for Mobilize for war The clan shall thirst no more Brothers, grab your spears and swords And raise them to the sky Our clan will thirst no more Drought will claim no more lives War has called our names Fashion spears from tools and staves We may not all survive We'll send all Galeridge to their graves

To Exile 03:53
One mistake was all it took to Turn the words into ash on the ground Deep in the heart the blood ran cold There were footprints that were later found Now is the time to go away from here far from home place so dear Never want to go but now one must Future there is broken On the way out one last deed Free the one who set you free Explore the land take the mountains might Drink the horizon the ancient living sight Looking back one will only see Joy and Pain life's memory Never want to go but now one must Future there is broken Banished from a life once had Forced to take a path The unknown way lay head Closed eyes shall not see Never stop moving never stop beating On the ground beating on the ground trying Never stop moving never stop beating On the ground beating on the ground trying to move on And burn the past to the ground Clearing off the Slate heart hitting fast Holding Open Hands no longer clasped Light breathes on Into Open Flame Trials once lived Will not be lost

We March On 03:23
Gather all the men We are heading straight for war Many years of peace Now there's something to fight for We cannot just wait For surely we would die We're leaving here today Knowing we must sruvive Marching through the Delling's Meadow The sacred land where no Blood shall spill We will fight For the ones we love We know we can't Just stand still Born to live free Believe in me Follow the lead and know that We march on Never to forgive As brothers we live Our lives we would give They must know that We march on Times has now passed Fear begins to set Many years of peace It's hard to reflect upon We know what awaits And we accept our fate Marching to our song That's fueled by hate Marching through the Magni forest Prepared for war and soon Blood will spill We are reading to die For the ones we love We knew we couldn't Just stand still They may never know The songs we sing The blood we'll shed The lives we'll give But we must march on For all we know For all we love For what we believe

Autumn water drips From the teeth of rock Forming fangs the size of giants At the cave's front block Brazen river runs down Fenrir's long snout Where the Galeridge clan Meets their foe to break their route Soldiers trudging forth Towards Fenrir's Jaws Warriors of Brazen run Wait for Munnin's caws Run into the cave Of Fenrir's jaws Fight behind the rock of Tyr's lost arm Scream Brazen warcry Rah-ah-oh Blood runs down the teeth of Fenrir's jaws Beating at the dirt Where water once worked Marching forward into battle River's been usurped Helgard's dam must break It is the clan's fate Pulverize and fragmentize By thy hammer's weight Soldiers trudging forth Into Fenrir's jaws Warriors of Brazen run Wait for Munnin's caws
9.
The wall begins to crack and destruction's on its way No one could forsee it but it all ends today Bursting through the wall sending rubble down below Confusion turns to panic as the dam wall explodes Get away, run for your lives As the river runs through All the land it will consume No more trying, people dying Wash away the bodies that we know we'll never find As it comes down and hits the ground Death it brings, chaos reigns Wash away all hopes and dreams All we're left with are the silent screams The water now flows and now we all can see A wave of destruction heading right this way Running through the land and taking all we know No one can escape it for we are just too slow Take away all of the innocent Drown the life right out of them Wash through the land leaving fear Sorrow and madness will sear

Will you walk me back to where it began Our lives have changed, we lost our only friends But when I see the damage done I only feel like I don't belong Take me away I still hear a voice Torment haunts me Left without a choice So much has died, all has been tried And here we still remain We have cried, the tears have dried And our hope still sustains Will you be here when the daylight comes? Will you stay for what tomorrow brings? I no longer stand what I've become Will you stay for what tomorrow brings? Will you help me? Let's start over again Feelings estranged, we must make our amends Help me break through this state of mind Can these wounds really heal in time? Promise you'll stay Guide me with your voice Hopeful, Shaken Have we got a choice So much has died, has all been tried? Why do we still remain? We have cried, the pain subsides We've got one chance to take Together we'll stand We'll heed our own call No longer helpless No longer to fall Now we must rebuild For now we have will A new beginning Something to believe in
