I sleep by the warmth of the fire
Breathe the cold mountain air
My bones so frozen and tired
I must rest so I am prepared
As I walk into a dream
I fall off in a nightmare
No one can hear me scream
The smell of death pollutes the air
(Chorus 1)
Awoken by the sound of hooves
As the falling ice turns my fire to smoke
A howling wind blows through the trees
Survival is my only goal
With battle on the horizon
I will fight with all of my soul
Through the storms I push forward
On my horse as I ride with the Dawn Patrol
I view the approaching enemy
Lined up as far as the eye can see
The ground shakes beneath my feet
I pull my blade and clench my teeth
(chorus 2)
I scream out with a battle cry
As I raise my sword up to the sky
I lead my men as on we charge
Some will die and some will scar
Few will live to tell the tale
Final breaths on this deadly trail
Straight down the hill and into the war
The last thing you’ll see is the Dawn Patrol
If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
