1.	Under the Shadow Where Heroes Ventured 09:08	lyrics	buy track
An ancient spirit Filled with hatred Ruled these lands In the shape of a king His armies were fearless Neither living nor dead Marching under his will To bring doom to mortal men During the siege of Narthong Fires burnt day and night Until a hero arose carrying an ancient sword He challenged the false king to the death The sky was dark, the earth was shaking For the class of steel was enormous The hero pushed his sword into the spirit's flesh While his body was in flames The evil spirit shrieked in pain And escaped back to its world The hero laid dead, grabbing his sword His name and fame will live forever
2.	The Dead Are Marching to War 10:26	lyrics	buy track
Deep into the wasteland Where no man shall draw breath A great evil was defeated In a battle long ago After centuries in the abbyss He has returned stronger than ever Filled with anger and hate A spirit that seeks revenge He had the form of a man Acting like a king to the wicked All his soldiers perished with him Their souls were trapped in the battlefield "Raise my children, raise once again For the time is now to take our revenge The world will feel our wrath No mortal man will survive" These were his first words And an army of living dead arose Fallen warriors of old Ready to march once again A foul aura surrounded them Killing everything alive Thus, that was the beginning For the doom of mankind

One of the first black metal songs I heard that featured piano as a key instrument, and it's since influenced much of my tastes in metal. Fantastic EP that never grows old no matter how often I listen to it. Caleb Bratcher

An album that helps you daydream of different worlds and times, that creates a unique atmosphere right from the beginning. A source of inspiration that motivates me to write more music too. Much respect. Ancient Spirit
