1. Highwayman

He lets the axe fly
Yield your coffers or your lives
Corded muscle beneath weathered skin
He fits a bolt to the twine
Eyes agleam within the copse
Like a wraith, he appears

He does not have a name
Don't look in his eyes

Reign in
Give up your gold
This road is his
Yield or perish
He's the highwayman

He takes what he wants
A question earns a broken jaw
Brave men fall from their horses
Arrows in their necks
He's the brigand of the lowlands

He does not have a name
Don't look in his eyes

Reign in
Give up your gold
This road is his
Yield or perish
He's the highwayman

This road is his

2. Fortifications Of The Pale Architect

We will dig here
Swing your pickaxe
The vanguard presses on

Pry the stones loose
Work through the night
We must grow the barrier
Pull the tool wagon

The wall that cleaves the world

We march at dawn
Proceed apace
Three towns have joined the cause

Climb the scaffold
Sun sears their eyes
Tempered steel falls again and again
Pull the tool wagon

The wall that cleaves the world

Pull... Pull... Pull
The gears turn
Pull... Pull... Pull
The stones rise
Pull... Pull... Pull
I command
Pull... Pull... Pull
Work or die

Fix the ladders
Stack the stones
We build the wall that shields the empire

Pull the tool wagon
The barrier climbs

3. Old Savage

Huddled before a dim fire
Long white hair, knotted with bones
The open plains stretch in all directions

He cannot remain in one place for too long
Prison works its way to his heart
He stirs from a fitful slumber

The moon turns red
The fire begins to grow
He joins the fray

Battle calls the old savage
The fire begins to grow
He outlives them all
His body creaks but still he fights
He's a warrior born

Three score years of bloodshed
He lost count of how many he's taken
The battle lust is always there

The moon turns red
The fire begins to grow
He joins the fray

Battle calls the old savage
The fire begins to grow
He outlives them all
His body creaks but still he fights
He's a warrior born

The battle lust is always there

4. Ascend To The Glass Kingdom

Ascend to the glass kingdom
Leave the shell – shed the burden of the flesh
Listen to the winds moan
Twilight riders chase the golden beams

5. Iron Wheels Of The Siege Machines

Take the banner
Spiked wheels turn
The sanctified lands defiled
Swordpoint recruitment
Advance the weapons of war
Burning trees fill the sky
Pour pitch onto their faces

Iron wheels of the siege machines
No reprieve
Siege machines roll forward
Siege machines roll roll roll

The truce flag aflame
Tie off your wounds
Six commanders have died
Take their boots
Our enemies have gone to the tower
We must follow them there and burn them alive

Iron wheels of the siege machines
No reprieve
Siege machines roll forward
Siege machines roll roll roll
Iron wheels of the siege machines
Keep pressing, keep pressing
Siege machines roll forward
Siege machines roll roll roll

6. A Conflict Between Dukes

A blood feud deep in the soil
A dividing line buried between them
A writ moldering in a mausoleum
Their sons soon will be of age
Continue the conflict

Sons are taken to the fields
They inherited the war from proud men
Two houses bleed
The duchess dies but the men fight on and on

The ruby coffers dwindle
A perimeter of blackened trees
Four hundred men are interred beneath the wolds
Ten decades of death on ducal ground

Sons are taken to the fields
They inherited the war from proud men
Two houses bleed
The duchess dies but the men fight on and on

Sons are taken to the fields
They inherited the war from proud men
Two houses bleed
The duchess dies but the men fight on and on

7. The Stars Disappeared From The Sky When We Uncovered The Bones Of The First Gods

Our lives are short heartbeats
Our towns are stains upon their world
We are controlled
We must remember the constellations

First gods
Worshippers are sacrificed
First gods
We dream of the end
Beyond the veil

Do not look up – the fires are blinding
Astronomers prophesize
Leave the fallen men
We walk towards death

First gods
Worshippers are sacrificed
First gods
We dream of the end
Beyond the veil

The stars disappeared from the sky when we uncovered
the bones of the first gods
