IFING LYRICS

1. The Sires Beyond Await

[Instrumental]

2. The Stream

Runes cast and blades heaved
Shadows fall one by one
Against this weald we shall stand
No more

Mortal, proud and braved
Frost veils the earth cold
The quiet and still of death calls
Who will now journey forth
Through the realms of ice and fire?

As light wanes over
This crimson field
Chosen not are we
Honor beyond only
The blackest of tides
Chosen not are we
In death

Ifing's deep and darkened wave
Parts the ancient sons of earth
From the dwelling of the gods:
Open flows the mighty flood
Nor shall ice arrest its course
While the wheel of ages rolls

There lies sorrow
As lightning fills the night
Beyond
There lies hope
To fight forever more
Beyond

The silence of battle now fades
Leaving me grasping the earth
Invoking my line
Invoking my love

There lies rapture
Before the flames consume
Beyond

The cry of wolves resound
Through the trees
They hunger for all that lie fair
A race against time, or the shade of despair?

The shore, ancient and vast
Beckons us forth
Enchanted by love
And driven by fear
The earth no longer
Holds them back

A final vision before my mind
Immersed am I; in cold, in dread
A beauty and fairness
So distant, so pure
My thoughts are now lost to the fury spilled forth by hope

This cold night falls forever over
This weeping land
Their eyes fixed on their prey
I am forever hunted by solitude
My laugh cries
Through the night

3. Realms Forged

A cry for fire
A fury, quelled by ice
Eternal bearers of time
And mortally bound
This union in rime
Shall form worlds arcane
A sentence, baneful and cold
Slain by sons pure in heart

Tides of blood
Form the seas
The great corpse fell
The earth was born

What once was flesh
Now turn to mountains of stone
The forests deep, of mighty locks
Archaic knowledge was strewn
To veil as white cloud and mist
A final crown aglow with the flame of stars

Realms upon their blood
Mortal
Realms upon their blood
Mortal and great

Great orbs of muspel's flame glare
To sunder the paths of night and day
The ways fend the land
Pursued athwart
By darkness and cold
Four empty eyes peer
And long for the night
Forever more
The passage to eventide fades
Their journey beyond shall presage
The end

The whispers of frost and flame
Shall echo for ages
In time, with changing winds
The great ash will fade

Upon the land
The light and shadows both converge
To sway the hidden will
The wind-swept dreams of men
Cloaked with boughs of time
Shall one day be forgotten no more

A world ruled by flame
Flame
A world ruled by frost
Frost
A world turns to endure

Realms upon their blood
Mortal
Realms upon their blood
Mortal and great
