Slaves to Opportunity

Ever since you drew your first breath,
Ever since the cold air first filled your lungs you wanted more
But you never took a single step off the beaten path
Afraid of what may lie in the shadows
Condemned to stay on the road
To hear the horns of yesterday play their sad song forever
You yearn for glory, for riches, power
But what did you ever do to reach them?
You waited
And as the horns of yore began their song once again
You stood there, just watching and waiting for something to change
But when the moment came, you were too afraid to step forward
For you are forever bound to a cycle of standing still
Break the chains
(Break the chains!)
Chains of old
(Chains of old!)
Standing tall be ready to take
(Take the fall!)

Avalanche

I’ve been waiting for a moment to take me away
From this bleak, dying world, the cycle repeats again
And throughout the years we still wage our war
And repeat the struggle without any goal
Break the chains
(Break the chains!)
Chains of old
(Chains of old!)
Standing tall, be ready to take
(Take the fall!)
You will forever be a slave to opportunity
It is how it’s meant to be unless you jump
Into the rising tide
(Hey!)
Ride on the wind, let it take you to the
Morning light, let the worlds collide
Into the avalanche
(Hey!)
Give up everything, face your deepest fears
And when you feel the cold, the cycle is no more
Oh mighty ones who hide beyond the stars
I beg of thee
Grant us the strength
To deliver us from ourselves
I’ve been wandering through the wasteland from night until day
And still I haven’t found the strength to break away
The right time won’t come, we must bear our arms
And destroy the cycle once and for all
Break the chains
(Break the chains!)
Chains of old
(Chains of old!)
Standing tall, be ready to take
(Take the fall!)
You will no longer be a slave to opportunity
Embrace the reality, close your eyes and jump
Into the rising tide
(Hey!)
Ride on the wind, let it take you to the
Morning light, let the worlds collide
Into the avalanche
(Hey!)
Give up everything, face your deepest fears
And when you feel the cold, the cycle is no more
We’re wasting time trying to find ourselves
When we could be so much more
Stop wasting time and throw yourself
Headstrong into the avalanche
We’re wasting time trying to find ourselves
When we could be so much more
Stop wasting time and throw yourself
Headstrong into the avalanche

The Silent Call

Listen closely to the wind, it’s calling out your name
Let the breeze carry your steps between the trees
You walk the hallowed ground, their eyes are watching you
Tread carefully through the thorns but waste no time
And now, woods once so dark
Gleam with light, with a new age rising
The spirits come to life
Let them show you what it means to feel alive
Hear the call from the land great and old
Rise above the ice and snow and be reborn
Long is the path to our forgotten home
Follow the storm in your heart it knows the way
Listen closely to the voice, it beckons you to follow
Feel life returning slowly to your veins
Hear the silent call, the whisper from your soul
Fall fearlessly into their warm embrace
The urge, the power
It’s in your blood, feel your senses growing
The spirit, it calls for more
To rekindle the flame once frozen in time
Hear the call from the land great and old
Rise above the ice and snow and be reborn
Long is the path to our forgotten home
Follow the storm in your heart it knows the way
As I lose my mind in these woods, cold wind carries me through
And as I open my eyes and my soul I welcome the storm
Hear the call from the land great and old
Walk the path of strife and scorn and soon you'll reach a new dawn
Long is the path of those that walk alone
But as soon as you give into your instinct the journey begins
(The journey begins!)

And as the land called, they answered
No longer mere whispers,
The voices within their souls turned into screams
And where the spirits have gone they now must follow, into destiny
Hidden in the runes lies the story of mankind
Written into stone is the fate of this world
Wind calls us forth to embrace our journey
River sings the song of the ancient land
Hidden in the runes lies the story of mankind
Written into stone is the fate of this world
Wind calls us forth to embrace our journey
River sings the song of the ancient land
The ancient runes atop the mountains
Carved by the gods in the days before time
Symbols from our past
Set us on the path of tomorrow
prophecy unfolded, future is clear
Yet hope for salvation seems lost
Threads can be severed and stones shattered
Our path shall be our own to carve
Wandering through the snow light fades away
As my body gives in to the burning cold
And I stand at the edge all alone
I gaze to the sky I pray to the moon and the stars
Ride into destiny
Forward to the unknown stars be our guides
Fear not the path
Courage in your heart and sword at your side
Still we are waging an endless war
We lose ourselves amidst the sorrow and pain
And in the distance our goals fade
Before night turns to day
I can only promise that I will fight
‘till things are right
And as long as the light of my star
Brightens the sky (I will fight!)
When you first see the threads unfold
Your life it seems they sold for your faith
But we stand up to the ancient ones
We’re the ones to defy the norns
When we face their lies we take to our arms
We fight to the end with undying will
When we face their lies we still stand our ground
Until all is lost nothing is true
Wandering through the snow the light returns
The fire that burns in our hearts melts the ice
And I stand at the edge with you
We’re the ones who see the path so clear
Ride into destiny
Forward to the unknown stars be our guides
Fear not the path
Courage in your heart and sword at your side
Still we are waging an endless war
We lose ourselves amidst the sorrow and pain
And in the distance our goals fade
Before night turns to day
I can only promise that I will fight
‘till things are right
And as long as the light of my star
Brightens the sky (I will fight!)
And now I shall carve my own path
Into the distant land, I ride
Fearlessly I am searching for the dawn
Breaking the silence I’ve known all my life
Giving in to the scream dwelling deep within my soul
And I know that it will carry me throughout this path of mine
Forward to the unknown stars be our guides
Fear not the path
Courage in your heart and sword at your side
Still we are waging an endless war
We lose ourselves amidst the sorrow and pain
And in the distance our goals fade
Before night turns to day
I can only promise that I will fight
‘till things are right
And as long as the light of my star
Brightens the sky and shows me the way (I will fight!)
