The Shards interfere in the minds of men and the war begins......

lyrics

THE SANDS OF OBLIVION

(The Un-Influenced):
The sun ---
The moon - - -
The rise and the fall of the Evar’tûm
The wait - - -
The will - - -
The eyes of the watch on the wall ever still
The minute - - -
The hour - - -
The frost on the field and the jack in the tower
The day - - -
The year - - -
The choice that we made that brought us here

(Ilzur):
There they are
Here we stand
Stay my trembling hand
There they are
Here we fight
Pray, stay at my side this night

(Shards):
(fyrdûmn tyr / fyrdûmn mor)

(The Influenced):
Shadows fall, Shadow calls
Who am I to say you’re my enemy
Shadows fall, Shadow calls
Who are you to agree
Shadows fall, Shadow calls
Where is this, but a nightmare in memory
Shadows fall, Shadow calls
Where are you, my dream
Tell me it’s all a dream

(The Un-Influenced):
The strength - - -
The steel - - -
The worth of your heart - that is revealed
The stab - - -
The sting - - -
The arm and the sword that are one when they swing
The blood - - -
The bone - - -
The flesh and the sinew of body and stone
The wound - - -
The pain - - -
The might and the mercy of a falling reign

(fyrdûmn tyr / fyrdûmn mor)

(The Influenced):
Shadows fall, Shadow calls
Who are you to say I’m your enemy
Shadows fall, Shadow calls
Who am I to agree
Shadows fall, Shadow calls
Where is this, but a nightmare in memory
Shadows fall, Shadow calls
We are naught, but angels unholy
Tell me it’s all a just a story

(The Un-Influenced):
The wolf - - -
The lamb - - -
The vultures who reap that which I am
The god - - -
The man - - -
Oblivion drawn as a line in the sand

(Shards):
We are the fate in the fame of the eye of the needle you are searching in the dark
We are the face in the frame of the lie of the kettle that is boiling in your heart
We are the shard in the shell of a soul so unsettled that is neither right nor wrong
We are the scar in the spell that you stole in the mettle you have wanted all along
Fyrdûmn tyr / Fyrdûmn mor

(fyrdûmn tyr / fyrdûmn mor)

(The Influenced):
Shadows fall, Shadow calls
Who are we to say that we’re enemies
Shadows fall, Shadow calls
Who am I if not free
Shadows fall, Shadow calls
Where is this, but a nightmare in memory
Shadows fall, Shadow calls
Where are the days of shimmering chivalry
Tell me how we carry on

(Ilzur):
When all is lost
Who’ll do the counting
When all is lost
Who will have won

When all is gone
And all is left burning
The fires block out the sun

(Shards):
Oblivion
