## Lyrics (finalized)

Cold is the winter snow falls down

mystical lights dance in the sky to the winds of night

Spell of the nature fill all my soul

kiss with your wonderful song my land with love

Rage of the winter mould the horizon

cover the mountains forest and lakes

Rage of the winter magical wonder

enchanted fury majestic force

There are no words to describe the poetry of landscape

I can receive all the magic that my season gives

Tears of the winter falling on me freezing my dark side

my heart must be white and pure like ice

Rage of the winter mould the horizon

cover the mountains forest and lakes

Rage of the winter magical wonder

enchanted fury majestic force

Cold is the winter snow falls down

mystical lights dance in the sky to the winds of night

Spell of the nature fill all my soul

kiss with your wonderful song my land with love

Rage of the winter mould the horizon

cover the mountains forest and lakes

Rage of the winter magical wonder

enchanted fury majestic force

## Lyrics (symphonic & original demo length version)

Algalord fire burns in his veins

Master of wisdom, master of faith

Glorify his name!

Snow on the portals to magic dreams

There where the old wizard spellbinds his king

Fire and icelords, the white realm's queen

are planning the battle between frost and wind

Rage of the winter mould the horizon

cover the mountains forest and lakes

Rage of the winter magical wonder

enchanted fury majestic force

In the dark forest the march of black knights...

Echoes of warcry from day until night

The empire is calling the ride of the brave

the Loregard warrior... the black demon's pain

Rage of the winter mould the horizon

cover the mountains forest and lakes

Rage of the winter magical wonder

enchanted fury majestic force

Face me Akron king of terror

Come now here to taste my blade

Algalord fire burns in his veins

Master of wisdom, master of faith

Glorify his name!

Snow on the portals to magic dreams

there where the old wizard spellbinds his king

Fire and icelords, the white realm's queen

are planning the battle between frost and wind

Rage of the winter mould the horizon

cover the mountains forest and lakes

Rage of the winter magical wonder

enchanted fury majestic force

## Lore

Crossing the hills of Algalord, the wind begins to blow whilst the falling snow caresses the now visible valleys of unicorns.

The mighty warriors and its soldiers admire the wonderful landscapes knowing once again that for many of them this will be the last time... whilst the winds of night begin blowing stronger and the fury of winter screams its rage the valorous troops finally reach the southern side of the middle forests.

The difficulty of the journey is recompensed by what the horizon offers the eyes...

Now is the time to sleep and the villages of the holy valley offer the best solution for letting the horses rest.

Ancient dances welcome the tired soldiers and makeshift jesters do their best to lower the general tension that inevitably fills the air.

The warrior of ice is restless and he decides to fulfil a strong desire that he has felt for a long time. The place where the father of the father of his father fought for the freedom of the enchanted lands is not far away and the opportunity is unique: the chance to reach the mythical forest of unicorns, the forest that inspired numerous legends and where the wisdom of the kings prevailed in a long, bloody battle against the unrestrained violence of the black king's hordes.

So our hero leaves the village and begins riding through the long valley, which ends where the middle forests begins.

Darkness is all around and the atmosphere is spectral but suddenly the flowing waters of the holy river announce that the magic forest is close at hand.

...the warrior's heart begins pounding faster...
