Lyrics for Battle for Light
She robbed the moon from the sky Derailed the sun off its course Inside her mountain enchained the light She took the wisdom for her own The sun no longer shines on us No silver moon reflects The stars no longer give their light To help us find our path I'm thrown on barren wastelands In feverish swamps I'm lost I stagger through white-rimed lands I drown in diseased black mire I fight the forces, forces of dark and cold Upon the witches I cast my spells, I cast my spells I strike with a sword, touch with a finger And sing my song into the night, into the night Beyond the heaven, the highest one The god supreme smites with his sword Into the sea falls fiery star A pike of deep swallows the spark I fight the forces, forces of dark and cold I strike with a sword, touch with a finger Skyforger, come to my aid The Magicsmith, by my side Daughter of creation The tiny man from the sea I fight the forces, forces of dark and cold Upon the witches I cast my spells, I cast my spells I strike with a sword, touch with a finger And sing my song into the night, into the night Ilmatar the ancient Mighty ocean-dwarf Skyforger by my side Thunder and lightning We find the hidden moon Release the mountain-bound We light the wisdom of the heart The sun dawns anew The sun dawns anew The sun dawns anew The sun dawns anew
