"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 am become the dragon now
