[Verse 1]
Over the waves, across the seas, I sail forever on
The frozen waves beneath me, my homeland is now gone
I reach the shore to where it's best, and climb down from my ship
I face the land before me, as the northern winds whip
To foreign lands I have come, to seek my fortune and fame
Now I'm here, no turning back through the way I came
The frozen snow beneath my feet, a darkened sky above
I hope to return once again with the ones I love
[Chorus 1]
It is time to start my quest
To heed the call, no time for rest
I walk along the frozen shore
And journey on forevermore
I left behind my wasted life
No more troubled by daily strife
This path I've taken all alone
Ventured into the vast unknown
[Verse 2]
I wander through forests so frozen and grim
Through valleys so dark, under skies so dim
I set a fire to keep myself warm
Though it is no use through this storm
From the trees I hear a moan
As I wait in darkness all alone
I see a flash of sharpened steel
A mortal foe, my sword I wield
I block his blow and counter back
and strike from above with my strongest attack
As he dies, eyes glowing with hate he says
“Go back now, before it's too lateâ€
Puzzled, I stare as he drifts into d**h
Trying to figure out what he had meant
As I look ahead, I see
A thousand eyes staring at me
[Chorus 2]
It is time to start my quest
To heed the call, no time for rest
I walk along the frozen shore
And journey on forevermore
Lying in wait, a trap has been sprung
A flying arrow pierces my lung
I came here all for nothing but greed
And now I lie here left to bleed
[Interlude]
I came here looking for fortune and fame
Now I'll never return again
As I say my final goodbyes
I lay alone, and now I die
