Under the Grey Banner Songtext
von Dragonland

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
