Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The frost caresses the winter-laden tundra
A prestigious fortress is left unscathed
All else in destruction's path left in ruin
Guardians of the passage standing firm
[Bridge]
Against frozen winds
Worth must be proven
Amongst the warriors who forged tested walls
Of stone and steel
[Verse 2]
A moment of reprieve is all but short-lived
Barbarian blood thaws the freshly lain snow
Protective wards constructed by the elders
Keeping the Stygian furies at bay
The siege of destruction has taken its toll
Nevertheless
The monarch of desolation roams the mountains
In search of the sacred stronghold
[Verse 3]
The heart of creation's nature now poisoned
Insatiable desire to control
Remaining forces slain at the hands of
The whip-wielding overseer
Lay down thy hammer and raise up a sword
Merciless forces of tusk-bearing minions
Roaming the tundra, imprisoning brave souls
Far and adrift from the war-beaten path
[Verse 4]
Liberated from bone-chilling confinement
Escape the highlands frigid
Catapults raining down unearthly wrath
Nether realm portals spew forth the wicked
[Verse 5]
The way of ancients leads to sacred summits
Here lies testaments to our destiny
Conquer the gods on a path to our glory
The rite of passage to the world stone keep
[Bridge]
The final quest
To dethrone the lord of destruction
Cast the blade celestial
Slay the infernal
