The Greatest Journey

With the first rays of light
a red dawn wakes the camp
while the frost slowly falls apart
Round the sparks of a fire
some are training young swords
gearing up for what waits ahead

Claws of ice close upon the still land
Freezing the air
Leaving a leafless graveyard

Winter's come to our home
The white burial draws near
as we march to the nearest coast
Tales from the outer world
myths and history
guide our steps in a quest for feats"

Helpless souls, blindfolded
The thickness of the woods
will cover your footsteps and the routes

Stories of lands we don't have drawn in our maps
speak about realms of magnificence,
other gods, beasts and races we ignore
scorching seas of sand
where the sun's said to last longer

But the threats won't tear our willingness
We're resolved to face them all
We'll stay strong

To the mounts, to the heights, over snow
By the sea, with the tide, through the storms
We can lead our fate, we decide when it's late
to change course in our way
Through the paths, up the hills, deep in stone
beyond maps, moving forth, to a new dawn
Heading to the unknown
The greatest journey of all is still yet to come

The sands of time
crawling behind
Depart before it's too late

"Ruthless cold conquers the fields
They outlive the nature's scythe
marching to a future of uncertainty
but leading the reins 'till their end"

We're told how we should live
Chained by ancestors
We'll write our history
with blood if we run out of ink

We're told how we should live
Chained by ancestors
We'll write our history
with blood if we run out of ink

Walk! Don't stay behind
Leave your dreads confined
Get on board and row
We are heading to a new world
Set sails to the skyline!
Till the edge of the world

Led by wind, ships cut the sea
Under the weight of the skies
Maybe lost, we are
alone with the stars
Starving for new lands and distant shores
Rainstorm! Thunder! Let them come!
The high waves shall aim for the clouds
We may drown, and sink
The seabed we'll meet
Yet braving the oceans, the soil we'll reach

Pointless beings, deluded
The tempest carrying your doom
will drag down your hubris deep in gloom

The end haunts us all
In time, we'll face the final shift
Still, course is for us to take

To the mounts, to the heights, over snow
By the sea, with the tide, through the storms
We can lead our fate, we decide when it's late
to change course in our way
Through the paths, up the hills, deep in stone
beyond maps, moving forth, to a new dawn
Heading to the unknown
The greatest journey of all is still yet to come

The greatest journey is yet to come
Brace yourselves for the threats
that lie ahead
