1. Thrice Told

Twice before you've heard the fury forever more
Twice before you felt and learned the power of the storm
I brought you through the valley where kings are laid to rest
Told you of the tales where hearts were weighed to pass a test

Now the third story unfolds and intrigues your every sense
No tale will remain untold and we'll speak without penance
through the caverns of a deep labyrinth
Man was known to well and then led to his death

This time through there is no calm before the rage begins
This time through the crown that's worn is fit for only kings
The chambers are still damp and cold and wait to take your soul
The armies of the virtuous are over a hundred fold

Feel the fire raging higher of a scorching dragons breath
Or gaze into a cauldron black and wait for all the rest

I wait in the golden halls, I take at will from those who fall
I make the dreams that you dream, I forsake ones that only scream
I wait in the golden halls, I take at will from those who fall
I make the dreams that you dream, I forsake ones that only scream Northern Lights

Chaos will be known and will be shown upon this offering
You will feel the wrath and linger on as your entering
Into the mayhemic ways to be known as the lights
Hold on to your fabled reality there is no end in sight






2. Enter The Halls

As I sit here high upon my throne guarded by these seraphs of
mine sifting through the battles that take place
While choosing few throughout all of time
Many men will die in rage of war time hoping to find their way to me
silhouettes of lost souls caught in someone's struggle ever to walk aimlessly

Valhalla, Glorification to thee
Valhalla, Honor to be forever free

Slain in the course of a conflict, will the courage displayed suffice
As he lay there motionless in wonder none to soon he will surely see
This time this place this one shall not go for his story shall end in vein
For this will be his last sunset and his dawn will end in only pain, Pain

Time after time I watch the fallen, All of them hope to hear me calling
Enrich their lives only after death calls, soaring into golden halls.
There is one now of noblest blood, prepare the journey to pass into heavens
of everything you could ever dream to,
come to me and I shall greet you

Starring up at the gates made of pearl,
you have reached your destination
Forever to live in true nirvana in place of damnation

You are now with us,
partly of god Immortality you will know forever more
You are now with us, partly of god
Immortality you will know forever more

Many men will die in rage of war time hoping to find their way to me
silhouettes of lost souls caught in someone's struggle
ever to walk aimlessly
As I sit here high upon my throne guarded by these seraphs of mine
sifting through the battles that take place
While choosing few throughout
all of time

Valhalla, Glorification to thee
Valhalla, Honor to be forever free

Starring up at the gates made of pearl,
you have reached your destination
Forever to live in true nirvana in place of damnation






3. Draco

Images in the night sky,
casting spells on those who gaze into the night sky,
I see mystique and chaos in the lights,
In the night sky leaving trails that linger across the night sky,
Graceful they seem as they dance along the black

As they dance along the black

Blazing through the stars, shining within the arctic landscapes
Behold this phenomenon's beauty, Arise within the Northern horizon

Discern, I am the lights, they are with me, inhabiting
inside the verve feeling the sense see how they gleam with luminous
rays through the air curtain of light opening slow revealing tales of long ago
forever will the glisten be upon the land not faltering,
Never will the shining fade until the end,

The end of time

Blazing through the stars, shining with the arctic landscapes
Behold this phenomenon's beauty, Arise within the Northern horizon






4. Images In The Nightsky

From the eyes, show depth of rage, release of the fire
Scorching is the fire
Underlined with a crest of gold, magnificent is the site
Three rows of massive teeth fall nothing short of razor sharp

Razor sharp

Venom crawls from the heart
form its three forked tongue
Guardian of the golden fruit
of which I will rid it of

Into the mountains I ride
to conquer the beast of great might
the eleventh labor it's called
most difficult labor of all

Equipped with only a spear
for I will not show my fear
Triumphant the plan is to be
The dragon will soon bleed for me

My single spear pierces his heart
in death he now takes part
Into the heavens he is cast
for years of service that have passed

From the eyes, show the depth of rage, releases the fire
Scorching is the fire
Underlines with a crest of gold, magnificent is the site
Three rows of massive teeth fall nothing short of razor sharp






5. Hydrah

Aurora, Holder of dawn, keeper of all in the sky
Aurora, Hail the goddess, creator of shapes in the night
Aurora, Shadow catcher, grace us with the ever changing light
Aurora, Ever shifting, ever chanting to the eternal sky song

Goddess of, I see all
Dawns break, make the rain fall
Day shall not come unless I say
Eternal dark maybe will stay
Goddess of, I see all
Dawns break, make the rain fall
Day shall not come unless I say
Eternal dark maybe will stay

Sister to the sun, like a fire burning bright,
watch and wait in wonder as I pain the night
Call upon the sons, winds north, south, east and west
Above the clouds is where none shall test me

No need to ask why, Into the dark I fly
Known since time began, soon you'll
see me again

Sky Dweller, Sky Dweller, Sky Dweller, Sky Dweller

Aurora, Holder of dawn, keeper of all in the sky
Aurora, Hail the goddess, creator of shapes in the night
Aurora, Shadow catcher, grace us with the ever changing light
Aurora, Ever shifting, ever chanting to the eternal sky song






6. Sky Dweller

Ahhhh Hydra The serpentine, Immortal so it seems
Slain, it cannot be, Soon I shall see

In the shadows I go, into its home In the shadows I know, it waits alone
In the shadows I fan, my feelings of hate

Nine heads staring at me, eighteen eyes that can see
No fear in my soul, this beast I control
Battle raising fierce, off with one head and two appear what can be done, to
pass this labor the second one

In the depths of this hell, lerna calls me out
snake, marshes its bed, soon it s home will run red
Blood falling like rain, its life will I drain
Burn the severed limbs, none will appear again

One the first head falls, two seal it off
third head and fourth, the legend heads north
six, seven and eight, the ninth I decapitate
last and immortal head I bury down, beneath the ground
Forever, and ever, and ever






7. Dream God

Let me take you on a journey, Let me take you out to find
Let me take you to no boundaries through the deepest parts of minds
Close your eyes, this is the entrance Close your eyes, and cross the path
Close your eyes, drift out slowly and let me work my craft

I mimic the delusion when I drowned your fears
I create the trepidation that can leave you in tears
I weave the web that you could never fathom
Enchanting, bewitching, enthralling is what I am

I manipulate the thoughts that are flowing through your head
I twist and I turn them a dream god is what I am
A dream god is what I am

A new day is dawning your eyes open wide
feeling relief all their is, is a sigh
The nightmare is over at least for now
I make the dreams, Only I know how

The sky now darkens, the clouds roll in
the same feeling suddenly begins
with that same sigh your eyes reopen wide
for I was only playing tricks with your mind

Grasp my hand and let me full fill your fantasies
In my world I control the line between
dreams and reality I make the rules that
control whether or not you will open you eyes again

Let me take you on a journey, Let me take you out to find
Let me take you to no boundaries through the deepest parts of minds
Close your eyes, this is the entrance Close your eyes, and cross the path
Close your eyes, drift out slowly and let me work my craft

A dream god is what I am

A dream god is what I am
