Lyrics Marching Homeward - Atlantean Kodex

Marching Homeward

Foreboding mountains, threatening skies
Beyond these walls of stone, our sacred homeland lies
Ten years have passed now, since we left home
The green hills of my country, soon my weary eyes shall see again
From the black mountain a cold wind blows
Standing stones along our path bear marks of ancient runes
Midst howling gales, the pounding of drums
Whispers turn to battlecries chaos soon will rise
Beneath black mountain we’re lead astray
Never to see our home again
Beneath black mountain our journey ends
Never to see our home again
Folk of the mountain, watching our desperate flock
Shadow and shapes are moving, twist trees and barren rock
Green feathered arrows take down the steeds
Thrown onto the ground, will journey to the island of the dead
Blessed by the old gods, sacred warrior hordes
Blue their painted faces, clash of bouncing (?) swords
Dark invocations grant an eldritch strength
Bloodshed for the blood god, dying in this godforsaken land
Led to black mountains into the caves
Never to see our home again
Living lay captive die in decay
Those not sacrificed forever be enslaved
Unspoken terrors lurk in the night
Chaos, doom and sacrifice await
Grotesque idols out of times before the light
Torture, death and slavery our fate
Led to black mountains into the caves
Never to see our home again
Living lay captive die in decay
Those not sacrificed forever be enslaved
Beneath black mountain we’re lead astray
Never to see our home again
Beneath black mountain our story ends
Never to see our home again
