The Three Flames Sapphire

“Gather close, and let the embers speak. For this is no tale of kings and crowns — this is the saga of fire, oath, and blood. This is the song of the last skald, and the flame that refused to die.”

In the twilight of the old world, when the fjords whispered of gods and ghosts, a warband rose beneath the dawn. Their oaths were carved in stone, their names etched in frost. The saga begins with “Oathbound at Dawn,” where warriors swear loyalty not by word, but by fire — a ritual of steel and spirit beneath the rising sun.

From the shadows of the fjord comes “The Wolf and the Fjord,” a tale of cunning and survival. The warband moves like smoke, striking with the silence of beasts. Then the drums thunder in “Hammerfall Rite,” a berserker’s invocation to Thor — the moment before the clash, where rage becomes ritual and the sky splits with fury.

But war is not only steel. In “Seidr’s Veil,” the warriors kneel before the völva, the seer who chants in tongues older than time. She shows them fate — not as prophecy, but as consequence. And then the clash: “Blood on the Ice” erupts with chaos, where shields splinter and the fjord runs red. Victory is won, but not without cost.

The ravens arrive in “The Raven’s Feast,” circling the dead with solemn grace. They do not mourn — they honor. The battlefield is silent, save for the wind and the wings. And then the myth deepens in “Stone of the Nine Worlds,” where the skald walks through realms of fire, frost, death, and dream. Each world speaks, each stone remembers.

Now the skald stands alone in “Skald of the Last Flame,” the titular track. He sings not for glory, but for memory — the last voice of a vanished warband, the final ember of a forgotten age. The longship burns in “Ashes of the Longship,” a funeral voyage across the sea, where names are whispered into the tide.

But the saga does not end. In “Echoes in the Hall of Shields,” the voices of the fallen rise in chorus. Their shields line the walls of the honored hall, and their names thunder through eternity. Yet even this is not the final flame.

A new chapter begins with “Where the Chief Fell, the Flame Rises.” The warband’s leader is gone, lost to legend. But his fire lives on. The Son steps forward in “The Son Who Bears the Ember,” uncertain but resolute, carrying the weight of legacy in trembling hands.

He learns the truth in “Peace Is a Lie.” The world does not honor restraint — it devours it. The Son casts aside hope and embraces fire. But in “Ashes of the First Command,” he learns that war is never clean. The cost of leadership is written in blood.

And finally, he rises in “The Flame That Does Not Bow.” No longer a child, no longer a warlord — he is the flame itself. Not wild, not broken, but eternal. He walks not for vengeance, but for truth. The saga ends not in silence, but in fire.

“So remember this, you who listen by the hearth: the skald may fall, the chief may fade, but the flame marches on. And in every oath, in every name, in every echo — the saga lives.”

Skald of the Last Flame

Lyrics:
Read the signs see the light
There's no more time
Open your eyes to Jesus Christ and you will live
No other name but Jesus Christ
Can save you from the fire

So come to Him 
He knows your sin
No matter what you've done
He'll save you from the fire

He'll save you from the fire

Believe on Him
Cling to Him
No matter what you've done
Believe on Him
He knew your sins
Before you were born 

So come to Him 
He knows your sin
No matter what you've done
He'll save you from the fire

He'll save you from the fire

So come to Him 
He knows your sin
No matter what you've done
He'll save you from the fire

Come to Him 
He knows your sin
No matter what you've done
He'll save you from the fire

No matter what you've done
He'll save you from the fire

Volume III: The Promise

Come To Him (with all your sins)

Så jävla blasé, men ändå så i beundran Sådant helgon, men ändå en sån hora 
Så medveten, men ändå så full av skit 
Så obeslutsam, så bestämd 
Jag funderar på att fundera på att fundera 
Det är överskattat, ta bara en drink till 
och Se mig falla sönder (faller sönder) 

De säljer rakblad och speglar på gatan (faller sönder) 
Jag ber att när jag kommer ner ska du redan vara vaken (faller sönder) 
Om jag någonsin skadar dig kommer din hämnd bli så ljuv 

För jag är avskum och jag är din man 
Jag faller sönder 
Jag faller sönder 
Så rock 'n' roll, så kostymklädd 
Så förbannat ful, så förbannat söt 
Så väldresserad, så djurisk rå 
Så behöver din kärlek, så ni andra kan dra
Jag är inte rädd för att dö meJag vill bara inte 
Om jag slutade ljuga skulle jag bara göra dig besviken 

Jag faller sönder (faller sönder) 
De säljer rakblad och speglar på gatan (faller sönder) 
Jag ber att när jag kommer ner ska du redan vara vaken (faller sönder) 
Om jag någonsin skadar dig kommer din hämnd bli så ljuv 
För jag är avskum och jag är din man 
Jag faller sönder 
De säljer rakblad och speglar på gatan (faller sönder) 
Jag ber att när jag kommer ner ska du redan vara vaken (faller sönder) 
Står här nere och de där ovan kan se att jag faller sönder 
Jag är avskum (faller sönder) 
Älska din man (faller sönder) 
Du måste älska din man (faller sönder) Du måste älska din man (faller sönder) 
Älska din man 
Jag är avskum (faller sönder) 
Jag är avskum Jag är avskum (faller sönder) 
Jag är avskum Jag är avskum (faller sönder) 
Jag är avskum
