Ascending Like an Eagle Lyrics

I have tread the serpents' trail
'Tween life and death, there is no veil
I spiraled down through ice and flame
A journey bound for Nifelheim

Many times I could have failed
And lost my mind, but I prevailed
I faced my fears, I braved the storm
The goddess Hel has let me go

This path, I walk it alone
It is my only way home
Must move or turn into stone
Ascending like an eagle
I've faced my darkest fears
And my direction seems clear
As this new path appears
Ascending like an eagle

So here I stand before the door
The path beyond will lead me forth
And yet, my heart is full of dread
Must not depart the road ahead

'Cause if I stray a single stride
I will betray the hope inside
And I'll be doomed to end my days
A frozen soul within this maze

This path, I walk it alone
It is my only way home
Must move or turn into stone
Ascending like an eagle
I've faced my darkest fears
And my direction seems clear
As this new path appears
Ascending like an eagle

So I take my first step through the eagle's door
Spreading my wings, my heart, it sings
As I begin to soar, all fear gone
I'm swept away by winds of gale and storm
Lifting me high up to the sky
I will fly forevermore

I rise from the underworld
A journey through the mind and soul
The eagle and the snake has merged
I am the dragon, hear me roar

This path, I walk it alone
It is my only way home
Must move or turn into stone
Ascending like an eagle
I've faced my darkest fears
And my direction seems clear
As this new path appears
Ascending like an eagle

This path, I walked it alone
A challenge that was my own
Now I'm on my way home
Ascending like an eagle
None of my demons are gone
But I've learned to rise above
Serpent and eagle are one
I have become the dragon now
