Garr The lyrics are good, the music is powerful, and the vocals are emotive. For me, the highlights are "Tell the Wind", "Warlord", and "Dream of a Frozen Dragon". I am looking forward to hearing what Zaria releases next. Favorite track: Tell the Wind.

Prophecies. What are they? What are they but stories that have not yet come to pass? Stories whispered through the mists. Stories of battles fought And loves forsaken. Of adventures to be had And regrets to be forgotten. Stories written in stone, Written in steel and blood. Stories written in Earth herself. Hear them, friend, hear them and marvel! Marvel at the words of bygone ages. At the words of kings, and bards, and monsters. And don’t forget! Don’t forget to pass them on. To strangers on lonesome roads, To friends in drunken nights, To lovers in candlelight. Tell them, friend, Tell them to the wind ...

There! A glow behind the veil, A glimpse of a secret, A prophecy of old That soon Will come to pass. Rise! A sword in your hand, A fairy by your side, And take a step Into this world Of myth and sacred lore. Hark! The Ring will tempt your heart The mist will obey you, But have no fear, For all will clear And be revealed. Speak The name of the wind And ride the storm unending, Resist the curse And trust the Fool, Don’t lose your faith. And so The story will unfold ... Walk with me To lands where Lovers bathe in stars, Where winter never comes. Stay with me Above the clouds And the crimson dawn, The twilight of magic and might. Go! The dragon calls your name, The dark lord is waiting. Your blackest night Awash in blood, Your end is nigh! Fight! In fires of doom, Upon the highest mountain. In pain and gore A light will beam, Deny defeat! And so A legend will be born … Walk with me … Come and walk with us …

Evermore 04:54
Wrath, hot in his lifeblood As he faces destruction Merciless battle Crushes around him. In the midst of the bloodshed Still he cannot forget her, Praying To gods to unite them again once more … There, into the dead of night, My voice will find him in the end. Bring him back! My bleeding heart! My yearning soul! All of me will await forevermore. Pain, rips through existence, Spreading mortal corruption. Emptiness looming, Gaping oblivion. In his failing awareness Hear! A voice so alluring, Calling Him to a place away and on … There, into the dead of night … Who are you, sweet voice? My dearest? My love? Or kind death, calling me to halls of the slain? There, Into the dead of night …

Zdaj si tu, kjer je nekdaj bil moj dom, tu, kjer pesem mojih dni iz davnine zazveni, prek meglic preteklosti. Še smo med vami! Mar ne slišite naših glasov? Kdaj izginil naš je svet? Kdaj potihnil naš je smeh? In spomin, ki še živi, je le odtis moje dlani … Naj ta lažniva večnost poje o koncu naših dni, v ta strašni ples usode z nami ste ujeti tudi vi. Še smo med vami! Mar ne vidite naših duhov? Naj ta lažniva večnost …

Glej, kako se na obzorju zgrinja vihra prek neba! Zlo in smrt nad nas drvita, konec našega sveta. Glej, kako nas le peščica proti tisočim stoji! Tu ujeti brez izhoda, kot spomin, ki že bledi … Za dom naš! Svobodo! Naj se jeklo zadnjič zablešči! Brez upov! Brez dvoma! Naj še enkrat glas naš zadoni! Nekdaj smo morda verjeli v zmage slavo, lepše dni. Zdaj v brezupu in porazu vsak do smrti se bori. Bori! Za dom naš … Poslednjič zazrem se v nebo, skozi jeklo in ogenj, ko vstane jutro, več nas tu ne bo. Poslednjič …

Gea 07:01
Listen, my friends, To a tale old as time – It was painted by wind ’cross the starlit skies. Listen to whispers Of bracken and moss Through the mists and the stillness of night: A long time ago, When our world was still young, Caught in tormenting throes of a dawning time, In this turbulent era Of brimstone and flame, She was born to the light of new day. Her first breath was life, Her touch was creation. It turned desolation to greenest grass. With blossoms unfurling ’Neath soles of her feet, She would bring forth the age of the spring! Come! Let your gaze now lead you to a place far away, Across the plains, across the forests, to the edge of day! Here in this sacred grove she rests who gave us our lives. See once more her forgotten beauty through her sacrifice! Wherever she went There was beauty and life, Herds of wondrous creatures would trail her step. To the ocean, the mountains, The plains and the sky, She would walk ’cross the world and beyond. Mankind rise! The world is ours for the taking! Empire in the making! Destroy! Devour all! To fuel our desire, To rise ever higher, consume! Now! You are blind, your path leads to ruin, Heed my warning, change your ways! Mankind rise! Cut down and slaughter! Nature is nothing but fuel! Destroy them all! The weak and the lesser. Nothing will stop us! Crush the world! You spell your doom – the bane of your kind! Bring destruction, bring extinction, nature falters, crush the world! Oh my dearest, foolish children, look what you have done: You’ve wounded me, but destroyed yourselves, this cannot be undone. Yet there’s hope in my love for you, but it comes with a terrible price. Learn from it, oh my dearest children, from my sacrifice! Death will cleanse you of greed and wrath, As I will wither away. In hope you will look for a better path, With you in your heart I shall stay. Come! Let your gaze now lead you to a place far away, Across the plains, across the forests, to the edge of day! Here in this sacred grove I rest who gave you your lives, See once more the forgotten beauty through my sacrifice!

For centuries I have slumbered Embraced by deepest ice. In a glacial death, Where northern winds blow, I dream a dream untold. In sleep I still remember A world of death and decay, A world once full Of magic and awe Felled by hearts of men. In anger and wrath, In sadness and tears, I sleep and hope to die. Once mighty and great, The raging flame, Now embers asleep in the dark. To sleep here in this prison, To hear the world go by, To dream of the ruin Of all I have loved, My frozen heart cannot endure. In darkness and dread, In freezing cold, My lonely spirit grieves. The quavering light Of times long gone Still lingers in my faded soul. Still lingers in my faded soul! This dream I dream In ice and snow – A torment of memory Forever within. Will death ever come? To be undone, The only hope for me. The rest is darkness and maddening, Eternal hate! The greed of men undying Has set the world ablaze. My prison will melt, My wings soar again In wrath unbridled and cruel. This dream I dream … Let fire consume The worlds of man In wrath unbridled and cruel, In vengeance so sweet and true.

Warlord 04:41
You had to die, Yield your minute existence. I had to rise, Cleanse the world of this filth. Red is the sky, Bloody the battles I still Fight in my mind. Guilt, the sole thing I know. Know, we are the ones who have died, We are shadows in dust and unbeating hearts. Hear us cry, feel our spirits unbound, You, who judged us unworthy of life! Hail to the lord of a thousand graves! Hail to the angel of carnage! Glory will pass and we’ll still be here. Join us! Leave me be! I will not bow! You will not see me crumble, Ghosts of the past, Stay buried in death! Know, we are the ones who have died ... Hail to the lord of a thousand graves! … Hail to the lord who will turn to dust! Hail to the king of oblivion! Glory did fade and here comes revenge. Join us! Leave me be!

To stealing! May you steal her heart! Cheating! May you cheat your death! To fighting by your brother’s side! To stealing! May you steal her kiss! Cheating! May you cheat your fate! To drinking here with us tonight! Don’t you stand alone Amidst a growing storm, Waiting for a ray of light. Take me by the hand And I will lead you there, To a place to warm your heart. Don’t pay any mind To what the others say, We are honest people here – Brawlers, cheats and drunks, And now you’re one of us, We will show you how it’s done! To stealing … We might seem the sort They warned you to avoid, But they’re all a bunch of cunts. You will not regret Some wee debauchery And some sin of the harmless kind. Raise your cup with me, And what tomorrow brings Will not matter anymore. Still the wine is sweet And still the bed is warm, Even if the world should end! To stealing ...

Prerokba razkrila je temo srca, začrtala pot, morilec podlegel bo želji srca. Se je glas razširil med bitja, ki v senci Triglava živé, razkrito skrivnost plačala z življenjem bo, se napove. Obnemi, obraz njen okameni v steni vsem na pogled. Pravici se zadosti. V višavje spet se vrne poznani mir, v pozabi v lovca je odrasel mlad pastir … Skrivnostno bitje nad potjo nesmrtno se skriva pred lakomnostjo. V skriti pečini živi Zlatorog, kjer váruje žene, zaklade njih rok. Zažari, nad gorami nebo zagori, nad prepadi vzklije cvetje, Bele žene tam pesmi pojo, vrata se pravljic odpro! Ta vilinski čarobni napev boža čarno zel. Zaljubljeni lovec poda se v goró, nečimrni dekli prinesel škrlata bo in skrito zlato. Bledo truplo fanta prinesla je reka deklini na prag, zdaj v solzah spozna, ljubezni se z zlatom kupit' ne da. Krvavi, a huje ponos skeli. Zdravilni cvet zacveti, a jeza se razplamti. Skrivnostni varuh gore je zapustil in Bele žene z njim, kot mit nas je svaril. Zažari, nad gorami nebo krvavi, nad prepadi usahne cvetje. Bele žene odšle so molče, žalost zdaj boža goré. In v pečini ostal je obraz – spomin na pretekli čas.

Tell the wind, oh wanderer, Tell him of your ever-restless heart. Tell the moon of the silent voice, The voice of the wild and the free. Tell me ... How it always calls you! How it never lets you go! How it pulls at your soul! Is this what freedom really means? You’ve fought countless battles, You’ve sailed endless seas, and still It leads ever onwards, But does it ever lead to peace? To horizon and on, To your kingdom of lands unknown, To the sun and the stars in the night. Your journey will end When your days are forever done ... Tell the sky, oh wanderer, Tell him of the hearts you’ve left in ruin. Tell the path of that distant place, The home that still cries after thee. Tell me ... Will it always haunt you? Will it ever let you go? The guilt – will it leave you? Is this how freedom really feels? You’ve had countless women, Will it ever be enough? The storms you have weathered? Will it ever bring you peace? To horizon and on … To the sky and beyond, To the depths of your beating heart, To a place where perhaps you will find What you’re searching for You have left behind long ago ...

… and the prophecies will come true. Perhaps not today. Perhaps not tomorrow Or even in a hundred thousand years. But they will come true. And one day, All the stories will have been told, And all the songs will have been sung, And there will be nothing more to say. But until that day, Until that fateful day Of sorrow and darkness and eternal silence, There is no reason to fret. They are here, the stories. They are a part of us. Weaved into the tapestry of our existence, Weaved into the fabric of our souls. And so, Until the end creeps up on our stories, Let us make them worthwhile. Let us fill them with excitement and wonder, With passion, and laughter and love. Let us make them worthy of telling. Let us make them worthy of being lived.
