In between the wastelands of endless ice and snow 
Lays the place abandoned from mankind long ago 
Frozen seas of blood – towers built of flesh and bones 
And the presence on insanity on the shadows throne 
Great evil is dwelling here for ages – high in the lands of frost 
Stories turn to legends – and empires fall to dust – the awaking of the ancient is at hand 
Spreading the reign of shadows terror – high up in the abandoned land 
Moving shadows at the edge of the wood – where twilight found you out there all alone 
In the darkness and the freezing cold – and far far away from home 
Ages went by in a storm of years – in the wind blasted north 
For a time there were rumors to hear – of shadows and the dark things you fear 
And beneath a great mountain hidden in darkness a shadow writhed in chains 
Eaten by hate to the edge of madness moving figures – playing his games 
All figures set – for the final strike leaving me alone against a hundred – this night 

So I grab weapon and shield – ready to face my fate – a quick prayer comes over my lips 
To those gods up there who left me up there where my brothers a wait 
Courage was what my gods honoured – one against hundred 
And with all hope lost I engaged into battle 
But suddenly wind was rising and turned into a storm – a blizzard of ice and deadly cold 
It did me no harm but smashed my enemy and slayed then one by one 
And amidst the blizzard I could see moving shadows of my father 
And all my brothers I have lost in battle 
So my prayers have been heard in this darkest hour my northern gods have returned to me... 

Deadly blizzards – beasts of ice – in northern lands – where northmen rise 
Blessed by cold – the winteborn – to give your life for your god you've sworn 
Your heart for the lands of winter – and your sword strikes for the light 
For your god I will die 
And my fate is the shield of mine – born in the land of north and here I will die 
Ages went by in a storm of years – in the wind blasted north 
For a time there was a legend to hear – of a man who fought shadows and the dark things you fear 
Once... in the windblasted north... 
In between the wastelands of endless ice and snow 
Lays the place abandoned from mankind long ago 
Great evil is dwelling here for ages – high in the lands of frost 
Now stories turn to legends – and empires fall to dust 
Once... in the windblasted north...
