Lyrics

[Instrumental]

[The snow covered plains...]
[Early dawn...]

["As the village greets a new day, the old crow cries atop the pine.]
[Spiritually bounded with nature and all creatures, great and small, the]
[Hunting families sense danger as the cry of the old crow continues. a]
[Rumble, at first loud enough to a human ear, grows into a deafening storm]
[Of hooves thundering across the frozen tundra. then bursts into the]
[Village, four times five riders clad in in armour black. swords drawn]
[Glimmering int the awakening sun's light. cries echoes. throats are slit.]
[Beautiful bodies fall to the frozen ground and limbs of able men are stewn]
[Across the snowcovered plains. the blood colours the white snow red. women]
[And children are brought far north. hidden under the foliage of a majestic]
[Tree, a ten year-old boy. when the shadows ahorse can no longer be heard,]
[He crawls out from his hideout to seek his loved ones. not a sound. not a]
[Movement. no sign of life...]
[And thus begins the saga of blood on ice..."]
