Northsong - The Final Journey - Pt. III lyrics

[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 late” 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
