about
A track that was lost during the recording of the Songs of the Skald album in 2017. Old members came together to bring this piece to life with the full version, done in Ashbreather’s home studio.
lyrics
Cold draws warmth from my flesh
Snow drives sleep from my bones
And in the sky, stars hang high
Absent of binding chains
And in the hills, wolfpacks howl
Barking at the moon
The wind is whipped at my face
Like a bear at it’s prey
Hear the sound of crunching snow
Howling winds start to blow
Watch a traveler give pursuit
On a night black as soot
Furious man, wants his blood
Let loose anger in a flood
He’s come, wants revenge
A lost life, he can’t avenge
To the tundra, Barren so cold
I can hardly think
Light of the sun’s been gone
Since it left six months ago
In this land, scarce life have I seen
And when I find the things I seek
There’ll be even less to spare
Hear the sound of crunching snow
Howling winds start to blow
Watch a traveler give pursuit
On a night black as soot
Furious man, wants his blood
Let loose anger in a flood
He’s come, wants revenge
A lost life, he can’t avenge
Take my sword
In my hand
Spill their blood
Unto the land
Memories wife
Can’t make a sound
Thought of my son
As he hits the ground
To Odin
Men I’ll send
By my hand
Lives shall end
Mark of actions
Shall now go
Like fading footprints
In the snow
Hear the sound of crunching snow
Howling winds start to blow
Watch a traveller give pursuit
On a night black as soot
Furious man, wants his blood
Let loose anger in a flood
He’s come, wants revenge
A lost life, he can’t avenge
