The Greatest Journey

With the first rays of light A red dawn wakes the camp While the frost slowly falls apart Round the sparks of a fire Some are training young swords Gearing up for what waits ahead Claws of ice close upon the still land Freezing the air Leaving a leafless graveyard Winter's come to our home The white burial draws near As we march to the nearest coast Tales from the outer world Myths and history Guide our steps in a quest for feats" Helpless souls, blindfolded The thickness of the woods Will cover your footsteps and the routes Stories of lands we don't have drawn in our maps Speak about realms of magnificence, Other gods, beasts and races we ignore Scorching seas of sand Where the sun's said to last longer But the threats won't tear our willingness We're resolved to face them all We'll stay strong To the mounts, to the heights, over snow By the sea, with the tide, through the storms We can lead our fate, we decide when it's late To change course in our way Through the paths, up the hills, deep in stone Beyond maps, moving forth, to a new dawn Heading to the unknown The greatest journey of all is still yet to come The sands of time Crawling behind Depart before it's too late "Ruthless cold conquers the fields They outlive the nature's scythe Marching to a future of uncertainty But leading the reins 'till their end" We're told how we should live Chained by ancestors We'll write our history With blood if we run out of ink We're told how we should live Chained by ancestors We'll write our history With blood if we run out of ink Walk! Don't stay behind Leave your dreads confined Get on board and row We are heading to a new world Set sails to the skyline! Till the edge of the world Led by wind, ships cut the sea Under the weight of the skies Maybe lost, we are Alone with the stars Starving for new lands and distant shores Rainstorm! Thunder! Let them come! The high waves shall aim for the clouds We may drown, and sink The seabed we'll meet Yet braving the oceans, the soil we'll reach Pointless beings, deluded The tempest carrying your doom Will drag down your hubris deep in gloom The end haunts us all In time, we'll face the final shift Still, course is for us to take To the mounts, to the heights, over snow By the sea, with the tide, through the storms We can lead our fate, we decide when it's late To change course in our way Through the paths, up the hills, deep in stone Beyond maps, moving forth, to a new dawn Heading to the unknown The greatest journey of all is still yet to come The greatest journey is yet to come Brace yourselves for the threats That lie ahead
