The change of seasons passes Neverending with the day The wizard we call winter Can bring storms into our bays First we pray for sunshine Then we plead for rain But the deadly time of year Is the season we cannot change Tramping through the snowdrifts We've weary and battle fatigued Anticipating ambush At every rustling tree We're two months away from death Trudging ever onward Frostbitten feet and frozen breath White winter brings the new-fallen snow Nature's eulogy for sin The coming of winter, a season of love And the waging of war between men Headed for a battlefield where we will surely die Our fate is written in the stars tonight Our future changes, though I know not how Destiny is changed - now! A wizard upon us, eyes blazing, spells spewing from his mouth Flames leaps from his hands, hallucinations We will never know as we're engulfed in flames Oh, to die this way, when we're defenseless At the hands of this occult master gone insane Awaken shackled, and my men are here As for my comrades, two are dead I fear Until I see life in both of them Torchlight approaches - here! An old man unlocks me, and the rest of my men as he speaks these words "I am Krakenaus, you must follow me, We will escape from this forsaken pit of hell! Now come quickly, if we're discovered You will suffer a fate that is worse than death!" Following a stranger, I'm dependent for life Hoping the man is not a deceiver The walls are getting cold, we must be nearing an out In Krakenaus I am now a believer Running blind through the flurry of snow Guided only by the page of a master We know the wizard's here, he has pursued us this night Greeted only by his hideous laughter "You have betrayed me!", the wizard screams In a second, he's sprouted demon's wings Four words are spoken, "La Fem Acroche Ach" And Krakenaus is - gone! The wizard upon us, eyess lunatic, spells spewing from his mouth Flames leap from his hands, not illusions We think otherwise then we're engulfed in flames Oh to die this way, when we're defenseless At the hands of this occult master gone insane
