Paroles de What Glory Remains

Oft I have seen
Many a brilliant star to fade
And night came creeping in to usurp that once shinning place... Long ago I was a mariner
A viking conqueror... I sailed far with Erik the Red
And a hundred brave men!
What glory remains
Of these ancient days?
What songs will be sung
In the days to come?

Under hostile skies I have slept
On the heardrest of the sword
And dreamt of past glories long
Now gone forevermore...

I saw the fire that burns within
The mystic caverns of Thule
I journeyed to a world forlorn
Where shades weep forevermore...

Blackened by dragon's breath
Under arrows I have dreamt
Of the billows that caress
The shores of home again and again...

Alas!
I've grown too old
And my days are numbered...
I neither have the strength
Nor fire that I once did...
