The Last Alliance - Song of the Rune Singers (OFFICIAL AUDIO)

New single!
This humble song stands as a tribute to the power and endurance of music. In our global human culture, music has the power to uplift, to overthrow, and to sway hearts and minds of people. Music is also our uniquely human form of expression and preservation, both for ourselves and our species. The songs we write hold all that we are within them and with any luck, will live on long after we are gone.

This song is dedicated to the last Rune Singer.

Lyrics:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Old runes of long forgotten tongues
Here by the flames our songs are reborn
Warming our hearts in this cold northern land
Songs and legends and tales yet untold

Come with me
See what I've seen
In days gone by
This night they'll appear!

Old lore of fathers and sons
Told by the masters yet spoken no more
Gentle voices now singing as one
Calling back to the days long behind

Gathered here
All round the fire
The stories they weave
They're calling for you!

Hear now
Winds through the forest
They carry on our forgotten songs
Poets of runes
Lend me your voices
Our sacred song
Shall live on...

Although the voices are silent now
Weary tongues sing no more
Only the memories of past lives
Shall live on in song of the runes...
