Verse 1
Our twisted path has turned again, yet we’re still alive
Destroyed is the valley we called our home, now covered in blood, ash and bone
Find what’s left of your courage my men, a long ride awaits
Avenging one’s kind’s a task, no one wants
Pre-Chorus 1
But war, it tends to force the hand of fate
Terror, in the end we were too late
War, it tends to force the hand of fate
Terror, in the end we were too late
Verse 2
The night has always dimmed the light, the light of hope
In a weary man's heart and mind, there are dark clouds ahead
Now the moon is rising in the sky, coloring the shadows blue
The time has come for us to serve, you the justice of the gods
Pre-Chorus 2
But war, it tends to force the hand of fate
Terror, in the end we were too late
War, it tends to force the hand of fate
Terror, in the end we were too late
Chorus 1
With your backs turned we await our chance, to weed your kind
For thirteen days and nights we’ve quelled our rage
You’re as good as dead by nightfall, now the light is fading
Those thirteen days and nights will be remembered
Your gods look down upon you with great shame
And our people will rejoice
Chorus 2
With your backs turned we’ve caught up with you, we are still willful
For thirteen days and nights you’ve quelled your fear
You’re as good as dead by nightfall, now the dark is rising
Those thirteen days and nights have been your last
Your gods look down upon you with great shame
And our people will rejoice

Swiss Melodic Black / Death Metal. I never wrote anything about this & given that I listen to it time & again, I really should! This is incredibly technical & amazingy good! I am having multiple eargasms & goosebumps for the entire duration of the album! Plus they have a new album coming out in a couple of months that I cannot wait for! A criminally underrated band... Stortregn rule! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
