Stand alone, as the sun sets, night falls
Cold winds, fill my lungs as I scream triumphantly
Shields high, screaming with rage my victory
Below the sky, I stand above the enemy

Clashing shields, bloodied spears
Echoes herd across the land
Hear the voices of my eternal gods

Fires burn, a darkened night turns red
Blazing through, an eagle with the eyes of steel

Clashing shields, bloodied spears
Echoes herd across the land
Hear the voices of my eternal gods

Ancient tribes, fight with honor soul and blood
Victories in time, to win is to live fail and die
Winds that blow, ashes and the smell of death
I stand alone, as darkness embraces my soul

Clashing shields, bloodied spears
Echoes heard across the land
Hear the voices of my eternal gods

Fires burn, a darkened night turns red
Blazing through, an eagle with the eyes of steel
Winds that blow, ashes and the smell of death
I stand alone, as darkness embraces my soul

Clashing shields, bloodied spears
Echoes heard across the land
Hear the voices of my eternal gods

Ancient tribes, fight with honor soul and blood
Victories in time, to win is to live fail and die
