02. Morrigane's Fury

All the land is waiting
Silence lies untroubled
Nothing but the wind is muttering on the hills
Swirls of dust then appear
And a low sound pounding
Far in the distance, there is an army marching

Rage!
My dear goddess I’m calling you
Give me the strength to face my foes
I pledge my sword and my soul into battle
Let my fury charge with you!

Now the fight has begun
Scattered shields, broken lives
Close to my own arm so many friends are falling
Blood is darkening my sight
Fear driven to anger
Kill! I’ve lost my mind, the beast inside is roaring

Rage!
My dear goddess I’m calling you
Give me the strength to face my foes
I pledge my sword and my soul into battle
Let my fury charge with you!

Swift and soft, our weapons are whispering your name
Morrigane’s fury
Loud and clear, the battle field’s answering your call
Morrigane
God of war I’m calling thee
Morrigane, free your fury!


All has become silent
Yet I am still alive
Blood upon my hand, my sword and my conscience
Many men have fallen
Ground is tainted with gore
Wrath of the goddess
Will you never show mercy?

Rage!
My dear goddess I’m calling you
Give me the strength to face my foes
I pledge my sword and my soul into battle
Let my fury charge with you!

Swift and soft, our weapons are whispering your name
Morrigane’s fury
Loud and clear, the battle field’s answering your call
Morrigane
God of war I’m calling thee
Morrigane, free your fury!

03. The Rainbow Bridge

Silent is the night
I close my eyes

Years of my life are all flashing by before me
Gazing at the shining stars I breathe my last

I will go alone
Cross the Rainbow Bridge
To my forefathers

I have seen the birth of the children of my son
Loved the most adorable woman on the earth
And now it is time for me to go away
Still I have no fear

Come frozen Death I’m expecting you
Sands of my time are all gone
I will follow you with no regrets
Cross the Rainbow Bridge

I will go alone
Cross the Rainbow Bridge
To my forefathers

On a wooden ship they will burn my body
My elder son will brandish my sword, my only legacy
And my ashes will be tossed into the wind
Sons I’ll meet you there
Walhalla

Come frozen Death I’m expecting you
Sands of my time are all gone
I will follow you with no regrets
Cross the Rainbow Bridge

04. Macbeth

When shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning, or in rain

I am thane of Glamis
I am a noble knight of Scotland
I have fought many wars for my king Duncan
I am Macbeth the brave
Have no mercy and charge
Against Norway we’ll fight
To whatever end

But my destiny is to be king
By witches it has been foreseen
In blood shall I reign
Betraying my dear friend
Duncan you will die
Conspiracy and lie
By my very hands
I’ll take your crown and your lands

Now that the crime is done
I cannot wash the blood on my hands
Driven to madness is my soul, Banquo
Your ghost is chasing me
Ruining my sanity
Damned is my memory

But my destiny is to be king
I cannot die I can’t be killed
Witches protect me
Against my enemy
I will never run
Till my last breath I’ll be fighting
Macduff now it’s time
Here is your vengeance and my end

05. Fenrir

The day has come
Red is the sky
Above the storm
Shine Asgard’s lights

Ancient wisdom
Announces Ragnarök
Bad omens foresee
This fateful day
When Loki’s son awakes
To get his revenge

He has been tamed
Chained by the gods
A magic rope
Fenrir’s prison

Deceived by Týr
He was tricked he was trapped
For ages alone
Waiting the day
When he could be released
Wrath within his wild heart

Fenrir gazed at the sky
As his golden rope was untied
Thousand years of anger
Reflected in the eyes of the wolf

He will bring war he will lead the charge
Into the gates of Asgard
To the gods themselves he will teach fear
For he is the last one

Men, gods who live in sin
Bow down it’s too late to pray
You’ve nowhere to hide
You’re my prey

Fear and chaos
Break on the earth
Eternal night
Covers the world

Jaw wide open
His eyes spitting fire
Fenrir comes howling
He ate the sun
Then he devoured Odin
A new dawn begins now

Fenrir gazed at the sky
As his golden rope was untied
Thousand years of anger
Reflected in the eyes of the wolf

He will bring war he will lead the charge
Into the gates of Asgard
To the gods themselves he will teach fear
For he is the last one

06. The Tale of Taliesin

We have travelled through storm and rain
To the court where the noble Arthur reigns
Country of charm and sorcery
Courtesy love and poetry

It is told that here dwells a man
Loved by all, protected by sir Gawain
He’s always singing all night long
He’s Taliesin of the Golden tongue

He’s the Scottish bard, the Muses’ child
He’s the sacred voice, he’s Baldur’s choice

Tales of young damsels in distress
Waiting for their gentle knight to embrace
Dreadful villain, bandit, dragon
Shall he defeat to reach her prison

He’s the Scottish bard, the Muses’ child
He’s the sacred voice, he’s Baldur’s choice

07. The Battle of Stirling

There doon by Stirling Bridge
The Wallace lay in hiding
As the great English host
Frae the South came riding

Loud the river Forth
Tween them baith was roaring
Rumbling at his side
O’ the Brig o’ Stirling

From the woods are watching
The Wallace and the Moray
And as came the English
With the earl o’ Surrey the crossed and…

Ane by ane they did cross the Brig o’ Stirling
Still they onward came
Here where William Wallace waited
Tae fight ’em o’ the Brig o’ Stirling
Then Wallace men came on the Brig o’ Stirling
Stubbed the English host
There Moray cut Cressingham doon
Tae slay them o’ the Brig o’ Stirling

Then all the English men
Ran intae each other
So nane could turn about
And nane could go much further

Some fell over the side
And in the Forth were drowning
Wild was the earl Surrey
He could nae ford the river

He wished with all his might
That the brig was much bigger
So then he rode awa
Loud the man was cursin’ and…

Ane by ane they did cross the Brig o’ Stirling
Still they onward came
Here where William Wallace waited
Tae fight ’em o’ the Brig o’ Stirling
Then Wallace men came on the Brig o’ Stirling
Stubbed the English host
There Moray cut Cressingham doon
Tae slay them o’ the Brig o’ Stirling

08. Lost in the Twilight

TIn the fortress of oblivion lies the great sorcerer Merlin
Locked in a magical prison by nine giant burning rings

Three times a hundred years have passed since the prisoner was jailed
On the towery walls of glass all the mightiest charms have failed


Caged in the dark
Sorrow and despair
When falls the night
A light in the air


Out of the world
A silent devotion
Out of the world
There are lies and deceptions

Lost in the twilight
No sky no horizon
Lost in the twilight
No death to ease his redemption


Caged in the dark
Sorrow and despair
When falls the night
A light in the air


He is Merlin and he’ll wake never more
Dawn day and dusk there’s no time in his prison
Lost he is lost in this maze for ever
Oh gods of earth show mercy and let him rest in peace

Heart of my heart your love is haunting me every day
I can’t remain so long out of your sight
Hurt of my hurt your love is killing me every day
I will remain alone in the twilight

09. Pavane

« Belle qui tiens ma vie
Captive dans tes yeux,
Qui m'as l’âme ravie
D'un sourire gracieux,
Viens tôt me secourir
Ou me faudra mourir.(bis)

Pourquoi fuis-tu mignarde
Si je suis près de toi,
Quand tes yeux je regarde
Je me perds dedans moi,
Car tes perfections
Changent mes actions.(bis) »

11. Holfgar's Kingdom

One winter night
Cloudy sky above
In a small clearing a white wolf is dying

Fierce animal
A trail of blood behind him
From the forest
Hounds are coming

Wild and proud king
He’s standing alone
And the moon is enlightening his silver coat

Charging with wrath in a last struggle for his honor
Anger and pain
Roaming heart

No memories
A life of wanders
His darkened grey eyes and a silent last breath

Hail! The wild beast
Hunters tearing his body
Forever proud in Holfgar’s KIngdom

12. Mama Troll

In my cave, I’m the queen
Almighty and charming
All my sons would die for me
The Mama Troll

I command, you obey
Stupid kids, do as I say
You are all just restless brats
My little trolls

When the night is falling
You gotta go hunt for me
Pick me some delicious humans
And roast them!

You my girl, clean my room
Make the dinner very soon
I want a soup of bones and rats
My favourite

I am not pleased at all
You’re too weak, that’s final
You’d better get out of my sight
The Mama Troll

When the sun is rising
You gotta protect our lair
For I will be sleeping
Don’t disturb me!

13. Tristan and Iseult

Tristan was a Cornish knight, nephew of King Mark
He defeated the Irish giant Morholt
He vanquished but was poisoned and to heal
Needed help from the daughter of the king
That’s when he met the Irish princess known under the name of Fair Iseult
This bright destiny was not for us
Mark you were like my own father

On a boat she came with him to marry King Mark
Her mother had prepared a love potion for her
Both of them drank of it and they were filled
With a passionate love for each other
Iseult got married to the king but in secret at night they were lovers
Mark I have to feign, I have to lie
I cannot be your faithful wife

They were discovered and had to escape deep down in the forest
And for three long years, they could live their love all alone
One day they were found lying in a cave, Tristan’s sword between them
King Mark forgave them and Iseult came back with him to Cornwall

Tristan left them to Britain but could not forget
There he got married to Iseult of the White Hands
She had the same name and was beautiful
But he did not succeed in loving her
She became deadly jealous and was trying to take revenge on Iseult
He was again poisoned with a lance
Unless you cure me I’ll perish

His friend Kahedin went fetch the Fair Iseult, she agreed to come
They sailed with white sails but his wife said him they were black
Tristan died of grief, when Iseult arrived she swooned over his corpse
Honeysuckle and hazel grow out intertwined from their graves

14. Thunder-Cliff

In the northern land where demons dwell
Thirteen warriors have been chosen
Far across the sea of the frozen
To bring war into the gates of hell

I’ve wasted my life for you
Faerya let my heart rest into your pity

By horse and drakkar we have travelled
Through dark forest and ancient meadow
Through blinding light and cursed shadow
Where all the secrets have been revealed

I have pledged my sword to thee
Faerya let my heart rest into your pity

If I survive I will burn your body
Into a ship wait for the Valkyries
Under the sky Odin’s waiting for thee
Always looking for eternal glory

Fire, blood and ashes in the air
In Thunder-Cliff we are bound to fight
Leading the battle when falls the night
Hunting the beast trapped into its lair

I’ve given my love to thee
Faerya let my heart rest into your pity
