Under the Grey Banner

Facing the northwinds

On high ground we stand

In the air a thousand banners

Flying the honour

Of peoples joined in bitter strife

Darkened green for the wood-elves

Crimson red for dwarven lords

Deep azure blue for men with the hearts to defy

Brass horns are sounding

We drink our last ale

Filled with cold determination

Praising the ancients

As dark lines spill out on the plains

See the view stretched before me

It's familiar somehow

Why am I here?

Why was I sent to this trial?

Fueled by cries and scent of slaughter

Fall before the orcish march

Now our army will rend flesh from bone

Throne of bones, its lord has spoken

Foul beasts takes all that remain

Now my children, we shall drink their blood

GROWL!

You think you can stand before me?

You are mistaken!

No! I'm filled with the wrath of a god

Ignited by a righteous flame!

See how you're burning with zeal

And yet so unknowing!

Die!

I make you pay for your crimes

Red, the grey banner dyed!

With steel I will redeem

For I know what I've seen in my dreams

One brother has to find his demise

Fool!

Can't you see that you were sent

To perish before me?

See the blackness for my eyes

How can this be were the scriptures all lies?

Oh bewildered horizon

What? What is this? Who is this girl?

Who dares to strike me?

Take my life for another

Now fall! As he has recovered

Shore cold skies, dull in the night

One inch of silver will divide us

Rise Ilmarion! And honour your sacrifice

Claim the power of even elvish gods

Grant it as your right!

So we are free

Wake from a dream

Glorious deed

But she's lost unto me

See, all will rise

From lands to the sea

But forever she'll live on in my memory
