Land of Scythia Songtext

von Scythia

Far away on a distant shore
Our ship, she sails no more
Washed away by the force of waves
Never to return

Is this fate that I live today?
When my crew they all lie slain
I don't believe in the power above
But something brought me here...

Well I heard its name spoken
On the lips of my dying crew
Beyond the edge of the map there lies
A place where time stands still

Rivers flow like diamond veins
Nature thrives, without disdain
The north wind blows in total freedom
Hail my winter kingdom!

In the land of Scythia
Where laws of the ancients prevail
In the land of Scythia
Where never a ship has sailed

Arctic tundra, a land unchanging
Trapped in time, never aging
Snow covered trees, ivory stillness
A man can hunt with grace and prowess

In the land of Scythia
Where laws of the ancients prevail
In the land of Scythia
Where never a ship has sailed

Through the plains away from the shore
Over the hills I dare to explore
Adventure waiting
I shall stake my claim
Silhouettes fill the path ahead
Fear for my life, lest I be dead
Figures emerging
My god!? What have I done?

Father, father what have I done?
All these savage men
Father, father where have I gone?
With no one to help me now

In the land of Scythia
Where laws of the ancients prevail
In the land of Scythia
Where never a ship has sailed
