An old man at the shore of his life In desperation and fear he lies The truth he has tried to conceal In his mind... before his flesh will part He was caught in the web of temptation That norns had woven for him He had chosen the faddish path of violence And sacrifice... for ancient gods belief He was one of the proud He was violence unleashed Bend to his will of power Or join the hordes of deceased Now he pities himself for his doings Told by Christ that his motive were wrong How come he had tread the evil path While he felt his willpower strong At the centre of conscience My fear stares at me White rimmed eyes, ceremonial mask No human face, what I see Stranded I pay homage to the tower of flesh While my spirit roams free He was one of the proud He was violence unleashed Bend to his will of power Or join the hordes of deceased Enter now the kingdom of Nastrond Where the strand of corpses lie Enlaced to the boundaries of hope In eternity captured souls cry He was one of the proud He was violence unleashed Bend to his will of power Or join the hordes of deceased When the powers of existence Gazed furious in me White rimmed eyes, ceremonial mask I fear the shape... that I see Stranded True repentance when your soul dies With all manner of those who died in bed He was one of the proud He was violence unleashed Bend to his will of power Or join the hordes of deceased
