Forefathers Lyrics

Sweat travels down the valley of my furrowed brow

So many lost to the creeping darkness

Cut deep through the fallen's blood and bone

To the hillside we rallied at dawn

Slouched low now where I once stood tall

Yet the quest remains the same through it all

I travel down the paths that lead me home

I smell the leaves as they turn from green to gold

I remember this land well

I know those trees like my Forefathers

I feel the stream coursing through my veins

Have I finally slipped away?

Or was this the path I was meant to take?

Do I see the echoes of a distant time

For reason or for fleeing rhyme?

I know those tree like my Forefathers

I feel the stream coursing through my veins

Hear the songs that no other hear

Walk the paths that all of your peers will fear

Wield the torch of a thousand fleeting times

Be the Sigurd to this age of human kind

I know those trees like my forefathers

I feel the stream coursing through my veins

I see the eagle soaring high

And the howling wolf that helped me find

The Holy Grail within the Signs

I travel down the paths that lead me home

I smell the leaves as they turn from green to gold

Have I finally slipped away

Or was this the path I was meant to take

Yet I see the echoes of a distant time

I know those trees like my forefathers

I feel the stream coursing through my veins

I see the eagle soaring high

And the howling wolf that helped me find

The Holy Grail within the signs
