The dawn of the new beginning
Was seen from the mountain
Where the kings of northern might
Were gathered to claim their thrones
Their eyes were cold
With burning hate
They watched the dawn
And saw their world
And truly
This was the end of the years of light
At last our dawn had come
"A vision of war and lust"
Its mightiness blinded our eyes
And so the cold winds of ancient hate
Cleansed the northern lands
Tall in might
They claimed their thrones
The christian god
Kissed their feet
The kings of northern might
Returned with pride
And so their swords
Were red of blood
Troth
This was the northern storm
Brought forth by their hate
This was the dawn of their return
Behold the dawn of war
