Badon

Half a life has washed over me
We once stood here alone
Time reveals again, it was a different game
For those greater than me are no longer here
They come to me, in dreams
They come to me, in screams
Let me show you the song my dear
It’s the air, it’s the fear
In the earth which we toil
They came, with blood
Upon this hill will we stand and fight
With man and child
Glorious! Glorious!
A delusion of time, inside
Of your mind, while you cling
To the fear of unknown
A world, of no hope, no soul
It’s time to reclaim, the night
For your heart will find
A kingdom of love

It’s pain, wash over you
A chance to grow, the unknown
Embrace, let them flow
The strength to let go, to the end
Don’t wave, it’s time to let go
The king stands alone, all for you
Riding the Thunder alone
A chance to grow, for your home
The blood moon is all, Stillness beyond
The blood moon is all, Echoes of hope, from a different song
Rising, the old gods follow
A chance to grow, to Badon
The whispers, ignite from a glow
A chance to grow, make anew
The blood moon is all, Stillness beyond
The blood moon is all, Echoes of hope, from a different song
As the sun beckons the eye
She knew it was time
Gentle rain soften the cries
Fearless souls, claiming the sky

The Orb of Octavia
08:40

Swept up by the mist and carried away
I let you pass me by, I can still feel the touch of your hand
But did it mean so much to you? Octavia let me through
The ale and the wine, to incline, My vision in your sight
Back to the night, for I was never in your mind
A lingering warmth for you to find, Octavia be mine
Who will wait for me? I just need to believe
You’ll remember me, let this all mean something
More than before
I searched for the signs, betrayed in your eyes
In dreams you came for me, With every night, away from your side
Another in your mind, I’m desperately trying, To hold on to you
Who will wait for me? I just need to believe
You’ll remember me, let this all mean something
More than before
I’m drowning in you, for my saviour
And I bear this for you, sweet Octavia
If I close my eyes, I can picture you
Now I’ve wandered far and wide away from you
As the nightmares multiply Who will watch for you?
In a world of lies, I only trust the truth
I’m drowning in you, for my saviour
And I bear this for you, sweet Octavia
Be mine, I call your name, I call your name

As the echoes fade in to the moonlit night
We step up to face the hordes, our lives on the line
With a dream of strength and freedom, from the plains of Eden
In the fields we’re not alone, we have risen
It’s something in the blood, woah
Salvation for the soul, woah
Beneath the stars we wait, where destines are made
Through the fear and the pain
The seeds of life remain, our burdens washed away
For tonight, we ride
They will come to tempt you with their holy light
Dare to claim what’s yet unknown, your heart and your mind
A tapestry of love, under the blessing of god
The Sergeant holds the staff of souls, to the heavens
It’s something in the blood, woah
Salvation for the soul, woah
Beneath the stars we wait, where destines are made
Through the fear and the pain
The seeds of life remain, our burdens washed away
For tonight, we ride
I’ll wash away the pain
The weak of heart find grace
I’ll welcome you to my hearth
Illusions play their part
Beneath the stars we wait, where destines are made
Through the fear and the pain
The seeds of life remain, our burdens washed away
For tonight, we ride

Sentinel
06:26
|
|||
Who will be there, in the end
When the seas rise to swallow the fear
For the cross that I bear
It holds me up, but weighs me down
Ageless lifetimes of regret
Bestowed upon my shoulders
Sentinel still it stands
Flowing waiting drowning
I have spent my life
Running away from
All the things I am afraid of
The clouds in the night sky
Dying to hold on
Open the door to a new life
When they come for your son
With stories so romancing
On this road, watch it fall
The hand looks so enticing
Pushing back through the storm
Holy mother of creation
Now you’re tired tattered and worn
Who is waiting there for you
I have spent my life
Running away from
All the things I am afraid of
The clouds in the night sky
Dying to hold on
Open the door to a new life
I have spent my life
Running away from
All the things I am afraid of
The clouds in the night sky
Dying to hold on
Open the door to a new life

Beyond the Hill

I have stood here waiting for a sign
Facing east, the grey and white intwine
When did this hill become my holy shrine?
The truth is I accept that I must die
Let me wander to a time that looks over the stars
To a place in your heart
Where no one could hold us apart
The source blesses those on the hill
An end to what we have known for so many years
From that moment I saw you, it stays with me still
I’m commanded to die here alone, up on the hill
They came like thunder, flowing deep and wide
The ghost of Badon, steel against the tide
This Albion would not be cast aside
Our blood will feed the fields and paint the sky
Let me wander to a time that looks over the stars
To a place in your heart
Where no one could hold us apart
The source blesses those on the hill
An end to what we have known for so many years
From that moment I saw you, it stays with me still
I’m commanded to die here alone, up on the hill
Do not say, this is the end
Shaking fury, up to the night sky
As she kisses her child’s hand
The storm clouds weep a last goodbye
Do not say, this is the end
No tender hand, to guide you away
Do not say, this is the end
The firstborn is called to fight and die
The source blesses those on the hill
An end to what we have known for so many years
From that moment I saw you, it stays with me still
I’m commanded to die here alone, up on the hill
Through the smoke and the sweetness, won’t let me in
Over oceans and mountains, I swear that I’m falling
From that moment I saw you, it stays with me still
I’m commanded to die here alone, up on the hill
