Age of Ruin Songtext
von Aeronwen

I see the fate of mankind
Throughout the ages unwind
Haunting prayers they raise to me
For carnage, mayhem, victory
Evil once more gratified
I see it from the other side
Helpless to deny
In the age of ruin
The death of mankind
In the age of ruin
To glory they ride


I see warriors rise
Fallen to ruin in time
Dying prayers they raise to me
For mercy, refuge, dignity
River Dee flows with my tears
Echoing through broken years
Crossing to the light
In the age of ruin
The death of mankind
In the age of ruin
To glory we ride

Ride to the end of the world
Age of ruin, blackened skies
Walking wounded, savage cries
Ride to the end of all time
Age of ruin, blackened skies
Bloodshed coming, ravens cry
Ride to the end of mankind
Age of ruin, blackened skies
Mass extinction, mankind dies

Riding forth from past ages
Passion of war in our blood
Through mountains
Ice fields we journeyed
In search of a better world
Battles won, cold steel in sun
Fade to the past and they′re gone
Bloody fields that death has sown
No trace of a better world


I see tyrants arise
Poison the truth with their lies
Hollow prayers they raise to me
For power, treasure infamy
Ruthless carnage all are lost
Bloody fields warm winter frost
Prophecy unwinds
In the age of ruin
The fate of mankind
In the age of ruin
The doom of mankind

Hollowed eyes, our ranks grow thin
We ride to war with Aeronwen
Horses swift like winter wind
We fight unto our fated end
None will pray our holy rest
Nor bow to hear our bodies blessed
We die alone
No journey home
To glory and king
The battlefields sing

All brave deeds
All of our brave deeds
Will be forgot
Won't change prophecy
All good souls
Cannot save our souls
Will soon be lost
Won′t change our destiny
Of worlds we knew
None will pray our holy rest
Nor bow to hear our bodies blessed
None will remain

We die alone, no journey home
Bloody fields that death has sown
All we've seen
We have paid the dearest cost
Everything we loved now lost
Just tears in rain
Of all we knew nothing remains
All that's left of us are tears lost in rain

Stars fade into the night
Moon hides her virgin light
Age of ruin, blackened skies
All will be slaughtered before sunrise

Bury us now with our swords and shields
No one to mourn
Save all our souls from our sinful deeds
Mercy be shown
Age of ruin, blackened skies
Unto extinction, we must ride

I see a world wild and free
No more prayers raised to me
