Sunlight breaks the cold air, echoing blight The snow-white valley painted by the blood of the fallen Gazing to the distant land of the night Our victory may have fled to a darkened fate's calling Will the calm paid with loss come to naught? Will the shadow lord's oath reap its sorrow? Fellowship won the day, perils fraught What will lie at the gates of tomorrow? ♪ Solace reaches my heart for the moment The home that I'd forgotten, beckons to my weary soul Was this hour's hardship, my atonement? Or will the road untrodden, bring me to a future toll? Will the calm paid with loss come to naught? Will the shadow lord's oath reap its sorrow? Fellowship won the day, perils fraught What will lie at the gates of tomorrow? Through rivers of time, and the bard's last rhyme We will stand in the black wind with pride Through ages of fire and the Norn's desire To a future unknown, we will ride Storms of the past, and the trials of before They seem a long faded memory Blood of the felled, gleaming still on our swords Heads high, we face the eternal sea Raise up your gaze to the frozen sky Beyond the shadows as black birds fly And cry ♪ Through rivers of time, and the bard's last rhyme We will stand in the black wind with pride Through ages of fire and the Norn's desire To a future unknown, we will ride The path stands unclear in peril and fear By divine will or by chance devised? (Devised) We see not the way, yet onward we say To a future unknown, to a future unknown To a future unknown, we will ride
