winter

The change of seasons passes
Neverending with the day
The wizard we call winter
Can bring storms into our bays
First we pray for sunshine
Then we plead for rain
But the deadly time of year
Is the season we cannot change
Tramping through the snowdrifts
We've weary and battle fatigued
Anticipating ambush
At every rustling tree
We're two months away from home
Two days away from death
Trudging ever onward
Frostbitten feet and frozen breath
White winter brings the new-fallen snow
Nature's eulogy for sin
The coming of winter, a season of love
And the waging of war between men
Headed for a battlefield where we will surely die
Our fate is written in the stars tonight
Our future changes, though I know not how
Destiny is changed now!
A wizard upon us, eyes blazing, spells spewing from his mouth
Flames leap from his hands, hallucinations
We will never know as we're engulfed in flames
Oh, to die this way, when we're defenseless
At the hands of this occult master gone insane
Awaken shackled, and my men are here
As for my comrades, two are dead I fear
Until I see life in both of them
Torchlight approaches here!
An old man unlocks me
And the rest of my men as he speaks these words
I am Krakenaus, you must follow me
We will escape from this forsaken pit of hell!
Now come quickly, if we're discovered
You will suffer a fate that is worse than death!
Following a stranger, I'm dependent for life
Hoping the man is not a deceiver
The walls are getting cold, we must be nearing an out
In Krakenaus I am now a believer
Running blind through the flurry of snow
Guided only by the page of a master
We know the wizard's here, he has pursued us this night
Greeted only by his hideous laughter
You have betrayed me, the wizard screams
In a second, he's sprouted demon's wings
Four words are spoken, La Fem Acroche Ach
And Krakenaus is gone!
The wizard upon us
Eyes lunatic, spells spewing from his mouth
Flames leap from his hands, not illusions
We think otherwise then we're engulfed in flames
Oh, to die this way, when we're defenseless
At the hands of this occult master gone insane
