I remember the forests, glacier haunted earth

I remember the mountain, and the tales of great mirth

I can see the ravens circling overhead

I can feel the spirits of the honored dead

My ancestors calling, from Valhalla's hall

Their voices do linger, after nightfall

Elemental and strong, the unbowed clans

Oh, the riddle of steel, the strength of their hands

I feel the winds of hybrids

Wild lands call my name

From beyond the dark wood

And over the grassy plains

Echoes of the ages past

Call me back again

Barbaric savages

In an age untamed

I remember the wild, tiger hide on my back

I remember the marshes, predators on the track

And the words of Arus, priestly wise one

Sworn to peaceful micra, searched  for mercy, but found none

I heard the stories of kingdoms, of riches, and jewels

Trampled the earth to take them from the naïve fools

Changed by their ways, of the civilized kind

Barbaric at heart, animal in the mind

Chorus

Oh the open steppe, stretched to the inland sea

Endless plains and skies, empire once and to be

I hear the thunder of the cavalry horses

I see the path forming, lemurian courses

The dawn of the glacier age, nemedian foes

Great empire in ruin, hyrkanian woes

Retreat 'cross the sand from cimmerian chiefs

One day to return, from out of the eat

Chorus

I remember the deserts, ancient ruinous land

Decadent and sinful, under sorcery's hand

Crowded by the styx, hoarding silk and steel

Mystery and magic, darkness and deceit

I remember misery, cataclysmic defeat

Hyborian invasion, storming the walls

Chorus
