Eternal Helcaraxe - As the Snow Gathers lyrics

Bloody and far from home The sky is heavy with snow My time is slowly running low My body, freezing cold We're the last of a dying world These are the final days of old My time will end here shortly The snow entombs me slowly This battle's lost, my bodies broken The morning that we left, we held our loved ones close and cried We know so many wouldn't make it back alive We knew we stood no chance as we said our last goodbyes We fought for you, and for you we'll die We battled hard and long But we couldn't tame this storm My eyes are frozen, open But their numbers were too great We fell as autumn leaves As the snow gathers, my bodies broken Lying here in a mix of regret and pride If I'd known of this faith, would I have still come here to fight? Thinking of all I was waiting for and all I've yet to say I thought I had so much time, but it's been taking away I hoped one day, we'd be old and gray I hoped one day we could wake up and feel safe Still I love you with all the love a heart can hold But I couldn't be “this great warrior” when it was needed most They will know that few stood against many Even though our chances were hopeless Just for the hope, That the beauty that we see Doesn't go unnoticed Our time here with earthly feet has ended Our fathers of old are calling us to the mighty halls It's time to take our place, or let our ghosts haunt this place To wait greeting our comrades who are yet to fall I'm not saying we would have done better But at least we could have called this our time I'm not saying we would have done better But we couldn't out last this night
