This album is part one of a two-part story, according to the CDBaby page.

Also, written on the back page of the booklet:
"Through the frozen wastes of human suffering, disappointment, experience, and knowledge
The relentless chill of despondency and numb complacency grip and immobilize the heart of the warrior
The journey is long and the onslaught merciless and cruel
In blind pursuit of gain, that which is of greatest value is lost, but falls, unlamented
Grief stifled and the screams of the soul silenced,
Hearts devoid of passion, intensity, beauty and love
Lay bleeding in a dying and frostbitten world,
But still the human heart is beating, still the soul stirs and yearns for who we are."

NOTE, the lyrics below are not complete. They're not complete in the booklet, either. There are sections that are repeated that aren't mentioned as doing so in the booklet; there are sections that aren't in the booklet at all, etc.

1) Frostland
00:44, lyrics:
Frostland...

2) Dawn of the Ice Hearts
3:41, lyrics:
From the ashes of fallen angels,
Where cursed shadows of death grow
And
the cruel black winds never end,
Beneath the mists of descending night,
Cold as the depths of winters frost,
Rise the horns of a dark new
age;
Raising the flag of ascending scourge,
Freezing the hearts of men
and extinguishing their fire.
From the infamous Frostland throne
Upon
the unsuspecting and unfortunate souls below;
Spreading unhallowed wings of
doom,
Plague like, over the war fields.
Begins an era of death and
bitter emptiness
The dawn of ice hearts
Transformed through infectious
barbaric rites
Performed by spiritually bereft prisoners of self delusion.
Frozen poison flows from inhuman veins.
Emptiness pouring from silent
souls,
Enslaved by hatred, tormented by loneliness,
The land grows cold
and black.

Frostland kings
Crowned with serpents,
Frostland kings
Covered with sores.


3) Thorns of Winter
4:53, lyrics:
Emerging from the barren wastelands
Ice erects its
fearsome monument;
Crafted by the winter storms,
Sculpted by the harsh,
frosted breeze.
Dark winds of nightfall chill my soul
As flickering
shadows mock my weary way.
Under the screen of darkened skies
The black
seeds of chaos grow.
This cold world lies deep inside me;
Brooding
within my severed veins.
As the thorns of winter pierce my skin,
Thorns
of winter
Deathly pale spirits of suffering
Thorns of winter

Sinister spectres of malice and discontent
The flame is torn from my
wounded heart.
Descending to an eternal winter,
My haunted body, mind
and soul.


4) Dark Winter Skies
5:50, lyrics:
In Winter's March through ageless forests the forestland gates are splintered unleashing a legacy of terror and pain evil's breath in unrelenting storm winds clutches at my still warm heart.

I feel the hands of death around my soul hatred conceived by my spirits of rebellion. driving troops in deathly processions. embracing piercing. frozen winds from behind the curtain of the night. riding until the command is given dictating desecration thought rituals of war.

Under the endless blackened skies unrelenting legions of hate splattering sorrow across the frostland. binding their own souls in eternal darkness. bringing spiritual winter of those who burned with devotion rendering them silent. lifeless with despair.

In bleak desolation, men fail and fall motionless as the enemy descends. Frozen in fear the weakened few tremble twisted shadows rise to embrace their prey.


5) The Awakening
3:45, lyrics:
Bright the ever-present moon, a solitary glow in a winter's sky
She silently surveys the once-beautiful and sacred lands
Watching the abomination of the storm's cruel violation,
Waiting as the winds cry words of desolation

Men lay overcome and defeated by this winter of devastation
Exhausted by the spiritual and emotional deprivation
Hatred's venomous barbs pierce and tear their failing hearts
Deathly icicles driven deep into weary flesh and fragmented minds

Defenseless against the penetrating chill of unforgiving evil,
Blood frozen by the poisonous hatred coursing through their veins,
Bereft of the warmth of love and life,
Deathly icicles driven deep into weary flesh and fragmented minds

They surrender to despair and separation, engulfed in bitter loneliness
They fall corrupted by the contaminating cold

Bright she glows in an unforgiving sky,
Warmth she radiates upon the Earth so cruel and cold,
Behold the moment of awakening.


6) Shades of Terror
4:35, lyrics:
Deep in the heart of these forsaken lands
Lie the bones
of unmerciful kings of hate
Emperors of the night, gathered in a circle,

Surrounded by ancient tombs and crumbling thrones.

Evoking nocturnal
spirits of rebellion,
Enthroning all that has been banished from these lands.

The eyes of the night beholds the sacrifice
Within the chambers of a frosty
dimension.

His soul cries into the freezing night
As cursed storms ride
the sorrowful dawn.
Hateful beasts emerge across the realm
And shades of
terror approach the valleys.

Performing ceremonial rites of abomination;

Evil incantations uttered upon tarnished thrones,
Calling upon scriptures
of darkness and fear.

Unearthly souls, torn apart from their eternal love,

Blinded by the darkness, guided by treacherous fools
Spreading their own
desolation and demise.

Releasing their bitterness into the storm
Setting
the cruel winds free
Evil incantations uttered upon tarnished thrones,

Calling upon scriptures of darkness and fear.
Unearthly souls, torn apart
from their eternal love.


7) Shadows of Death
4:27, lyrics:
Under the freezing starless skies,
The Earth, turned hard as stone, relents


Cold death descends upon this hatred soil,
Frozen clay embraced by solemn shadows

Icy blasts clutch at my spirit in agony
Thorns of cruel winter tear at my suffering flesh
Shrouds of deepest despair stifle my cries of freedom,
Poison of bitter loathing conquers my faltering heart

Moon eclipsed by the shadows of death
Ice tainted with blood engulfs my weary form
Beneath this veil of snow my pain is silenced

Drenched in tears of anger, I lay to rest my love
Visions of beauty fade as bleakness chills my soul

The season ends in unforgiving night,
Devoid of light all shades of hope have fled

My dying prayers echo in the silent air,
A desperate plea for a return from the dark


8) Blood on Ice
4:05, lyrics:
in freezing night. beyond the mountains. ice covers the face of the earth i breathe the cold air of a frozen age.

Across the vast frostland domain has ween unleashed an unmerciful bleak winter. colder and darker than all ages past. shadows prevail across the barren lands. The sunlight a fading hope. Black skies cover the forsaken plains beyond the living realm mortal minds decay.

Blood on ice. screams of war and legions die

Moonlight radiant upon my face i feel the quickening of my thawing hart i raise my sword and turn towards the darkness.

Standing in defiance. i feel my strength return my war cry cuts through the frosty air souls of once fallen warriors are rising.

Upon the hills i see legions marching on under inspired command against the evil throne. moonshine reflects on swords. star lit shields glisten throughout the darkness. the enemy's blood will fall to the ground. the sound of war will break the silence.
