Dream of the fields
With golden grains and rivers jade
Crows call - Nothing can prepare us for our fate
Fear grows - Blooms then wilt away forever
Into unknown hate
Prey falling
Turn this land to ash and darkness
Flay the earth beneath us
Rage burning
I will build a cage around us
Wake the fury boundless
We must fight - For everything that’s true
Bring another dawn
Cold chokes the night
And seeks to freeze our sacred homeland
Beasts stalk the wild
Their madness born of hidden rage
Fear lives - Moonlight seeds a shadow
Cursed by blinding fate
Prey falling
Turn this land to ash and darkness
Flay the earth beneath us
Rage burning
I will build a cage around us
Wake the fury boundless
What brought this wrath?
Cast our people to the east wind
Why bring our fears true?
This perfect ignorance
The rhythm of the land
There’s a strength within these roots
The daybreak will hold all the darkness back
And when the bell strikes noon
When our people hear the call
All fathers and mothers will join their hands.
Your Mind will take you back
The bird song and breeze
When our children played along the oaken forest paths
Stolen memories
A painting of the past
But I remember innocence and fires glowing bright
We sleep within a dream
So radiant from birth
Prey falling
Turn this land to ash and darkness
Flay the earth beneath us
Rage burning
I will build a cage around us
Wake the fury boundless
Prey falling
Turn this land to ash and darkness
Flay the earth beneath us
Rage burning
I will build a cage around us
Wake the fury boundless
Give your life
Stay brave and stand as one
Shield your kin, protect the homesteads
Onward we shall ride
Lets start the hunt
