Varyag and the Shrike

Every winter
Every sunlit spring
We meet at the edge of the world
To share our joys and sorrows
Every winter
My brothers grow fewer
And you raise your spire to the sky
And soon, I know
That time will soon be mine

Tell my story
Write my name in fire on your altar
Where's the glory I dreamt of as a child?

Look around
Do you see
The blackened wings of destiny
Enfold you
And lift you up
Look around
Savour this
It's a fight you won't miss
Your faith - gone!
So draw your weapon

For the Sun
We step up to the tributary stream
Of life eternal
We die young
And every day we die, we resurrect
To win this war!

Into the fire!
We are the tide
Form up, heroes!
Now we ride!
We are the demons out of the night
Form up, varyags!
Now we ride!

Shards of embers
Raining from the sky
I feel them, descending
Amending life
Distant now
Echoes of laughter past
In every tale, the end must
Come at last

And who will hold the vigil
At the dusk of man
This precipice
Is this our end? No!
And what of glory
And what of promised glory!
Come at last

No fear
No lies
No rest
Reaching for the Sun
No fear
No lies
No rest
Reaching for the Sun
No fear
No lies
No rest
Reaching for the Sun
No fear
No lies
No rest

Fall, fall from the stars
Hungry like wolves
Riding the storm... to sea
Call, call from afar
Herald of life
Drawn by your poetry

Systems, coming alive
We tear at the Sun
Fight for supremacy
You and I, we break the hold
We'll break the line
Just wait and see
Into the fire
We are the tide
Form up, heroes!
Now we ride!
We are the demons
Out of the night
Form up, varyags!
Now we ride!

Into the fire
We are the tide
Form up, heroes!
Now we ride!
We are the demons
Out of the night
Form up, varyags!
Now we ride!
