When the night falls and the mundane world grows silent
I lie in bed and remember the sunlit pastures
And wind kissed meadows of my youth
After a while, the waves in the promenade call to me
Mystic voices from far dimensions loom on the horizon
And a hand holding steel emerges from the water once again
I shall sail to far away lands
To discover the mystery I had left abandoned
In the eye of the storm
I shall stand with open arms
At the house of the beast
I shall strike, no matter how close
I shall fulfill the promise
To my younger self
Through the fire of the forge
I shall pass my shapeless soul
At the heart of it all
I shall learn my dearest truth
The gods of war have taught
That indomitable will
Is the answer to the riddle of steel
While the lords of dreams
That reality should be my guide
No matter how far I stray
I see fallen warriors
And the ruin that they brought
And then I understand
That all the strength and all the knowledge
Is never quite enough
I must choose in the end
Between love and hate
Αs to the center of my soul

This album is amazing, I love the concept behind it and I prefer this "cleaner" version not too close to raw black metal dissonance style. Julian David
