lyrics
Tonight we settle scores.
From the first veil of snow to the last breath of winter, treading forth in the shivering wastes,
Will this long journey ever end?
Forty years wandering, cold, lost, and weary, with little strength to carry on,
Under the weight of this burden...
The crushing weight of all my years.
Chorus:
From the forests to the skies, across the ocean's dismal tide, through the boundless wake of frozen glacier's rage...
For the last time I will ride forth, and once more I shall abideth, to return a debt; my honor satisfied.
From the dawning of Spring to the twilight of Autumn, and all throughout the Summer's flame,
Restless and worn with season's change.
And I don't know how much longer I will go on,
Will I take this to my grave?
O, Gods, release me from my fate!
And yet I fear it's far too late...
Chorus
Bridge:
At last, I can breathe but for a day.
In dreams, forever night, when will I stay?
At last, I can breathe.
