Blade In The Snow

Scars of countless number

Carved with the knife of time

Gone are fights for pain inside

Flames smothered by defeat

Once was he invincible

Once walked above the gods

Beat by unlikely champion

Now he kneels before a man

All was changed, a fateful night

Battle for the thousandth blade

Humble mind over haughty matter

In a master a servant revealed

Flakes cold, white slowly fall

Grows silent the land again

Leaves wither, speak the words unheard

Yet true for a tormented soul seeking answer

Flakes cold, white slowly fall

Grows silent the land again.

Silent are the woods, silent are the waters,

Silent is the bridge once surrounded by a wall of steel

One arrived, two walked away, nothing stayed the same

To feel the life in every breath, every soul he takes

That is the way of a warrior.

Stars so far away, alone they stay, like now my blade in the snow

No more there's a need to ask the questions

Stars they guide me, they give my peace, as I leave my blade in the snow

No more there's a need to find an answer

Stars so far away, alone they stay like now my blade in the snow

Now I've found the path, now's there a meaning for my war

Free from all, he joined a war

No longer one his own

Once alone, now gives his swords

To serve his master's cause

Traitor, a betrayal, a fallen among them

Serpent, poisons me, it's venom my own blood

Despair, defeat draws near, no way to change the course

Only one, after nightfall still stands on his feet.

Stars so far away, alone they stay, like now my blade in the snow

No more there's a need to ask the questions

Stars so far away, alone they stay, like now my blade in the snow

No more there's a need to ask the questions (please give me peace)

Stars, they guide me, they give me peace, I leave my blade in the snow

Stars please guide me

Flakes cold, white slowly fall

Grows silent the land again

Earth, mountains, rivers - hidden in the nothingness

In the nothingness

Earth mountains, rivers revealed

It is our path defining our desires

Our desires defining our goal

Our goal defining our deeds

Our deeds defining who we are

Spring flowers, winter snows

There's no being or non-being, nor denial itself.

I've been set free
