Shadows of the Dead - Forefather[00:00:00]
The heart hangs heavy[00:00:23]
Of a warrior overcome[00:00:25]
Twigs break beneath my feet[00:00:29]
As I make the long way home[00:00:31]
When the time for duty came[00:00:34]
The fear was clear in their eyes[00:00:36]
Their painful howls will ring[00:00:40]
When they see just I survive[00:00:42]
My kinsmen lay behind me[00:00:45]
Prostrate in open graves[00:00:48]
Cold and still bereft of life[00:00:51]
The field-of-slaughter's prey[00:00:53]
As daylight wanes and birdsong fades[00:00:56]
I ponder what befell[00:00:59]
Laid back on my bed of leaves[00:01:02]
I curse that I still dwell[00:01:05]
Shadows of the dead[00:01:08]
Bathe the field at sunset[00:01:13]
Echoes of the slain[00:01:19]
Haunt the dawn at daybreak[00:01:25]
As dawn's embrace approaches[00:01:53]
And breaks my somber dreams[00:01:55]
I call to mind our falling flag[00:01:58]
My brethren's final screams[00:02:01]
The harrowing sounds of conquest[00:02:04]
Still pierce my troubled soul[00:02:07]
As bent beneath the weight of grief[00:02:10]
I grimly wander on[00:02:12]
Shadows of the dead[00:02:15]
Bathe the field at sunset[00:02:21]
Echoes of the slain[00:02:27]
Haunt the dawn at daybreak[00:02:32]
Some are born to thrive[00:03:23]
Others doomed to die[00:03:26]
As fate decrees the threads proclaim[00:03:29]
The path an arrow flies[00:03:34]
A spear-thrust parried or true[00:03:37]
A kingdom saved or a tribe enslaved[00:03:40]
The web that wyrd will weave[00:03:46]
The outcome fortune deems[00:03:49]
Joys unbound or a burial mound[00:03:51]
Courage that lasts or fails[00:03:57]
The wind on hostile sails[00:04:00]
Sorrow's tears or blissful cheers[00:04:03]
Shadows of the dead[00:04:08]
Bathe the field at sunset[00:04:14]
Echoes of the slain[00:04:20]
Haunt the dawn at daybreak[00:04:25]
