Heidra - Rain of Embers

Текст:

I awoke to find myself alone, knew not from whence I’d come 
And I lay beneath a crimson sky, without a crimson sun 
The air was cold and frozen, though all the land was burned 
And I wept now for forgiveness as my memories returned 

I lay upon a cursed earth, in a frozen hell 
As from beneath a blood red sky, a rain of embers fell 

We were so close to victory upon that bloodstained heath 
As a thousand grasping demon claws did drag us down beneath 
To this wretched underworld sheathed in ice and flame 
Where nothing grew, and nothing lived, and embers fell as rain 

Wandered for what seemed forever as the hours turned to days 
My resolve began to harden from the depths of my malaise 
Something there on the horizon would fill my heart with pain 
As I drew close enough to see what lay beneath the ember rain. 

I walked upon a cursed earth, in a frozen hell 
As from beneath a blood red sky, a rain of embers fell 

There stretched out before me was an avenue of trees 
With burned and twisted branches, stretched as far as I could see 
And hung from every blackened limb, with spikes through feet and hands 
Were the bodies of each loyal man once sworn to my command 

When a man meets his end on the battlefield 
With honour, has he died 
He deserves his reward in the afterlife 
His fallen brothers at his side 

But this victory was won with sorcery 
And my soldiers’ spirits burned 
And a thousandfold, this atrocity 
I swore would be returned 

[Solo: Marco Mastrobuono] 

I stood upon a cursed earth, in a frozen hell 
As from beneath a blood red sky, a rain of embers fell 

All their eyes stared down at me, with life behind them still 
And their mouths moved on in silent screams their breath could not fulfil 
But I vowed to avenge them by the gods both new and old 
I’d find a way I would escape this realm of embers, cold
