Retribution - recorded by Hazy
I
Seek
Retribution
Three men and
A clear constitution
A self-discovering event
Drowning on a sea of corruption
Of mind a body, the hunter's fusion.
Beware the man that has nothing to lose.
Your life in one arrow,
A rain of furious blades,
A thirst mine to satiate
A sea of purple and red,
Not letting anyone escape,
A sea of arrows and pain,
The hunter is back again.
An arrow, a blighted mark,
A sharp mind, a charged bow,
And a vengeful complete man,
From a love falling in agony,
Preserved but desecrated ,
But still a killer remains,
Will you dance with the death?

Noxian Domination - recorded by tehra dactyl
Do not resort to violence, little ones-
Evil can find a home in angry hearts!
Magic’s alive in all beneath the sun
And will protect those who practice its arts.
Conquer your fear inside, and you will learn
Ionia loves those who favor peace.
Assured is he who does not try to earn
Vict’ry when winning’s price is far too steep.
Soon we’ll stand for what’s right- the enemy
Nears to our shores, thinking the battle won,
Over us and all our community,
Xenophobic ‘gainst them for all they’ve done.
Ungrateful foreigners who do not grasp
Spiritualists and our loved peaceful past.

My Kind - recorded by snowfire
I run far and wide
All across the forests
But no, not to hide
Neither to sorest
I’m still searching for my kind
And won’t be tempted
As not one sign I find
A hundred times attempted
Where could I see?
I’m at my wit’s end
Wherever’s someone like me?
I just want a friend
Memories haunting,
Set me free, let me forget
It is too daunting
No! I’d rath’r regret
I won’t have oblivion
It would be cruel,
It would be Stygian,
When memories are jewels
Precious, and one’s own
So still I wander
Far and wide, in the unknown
Forever to pond’r

Soft as Snow, Hard as Ice - recorded by snowfire
The Freljord is a ruthless land, it's true
YOU CAN'T TAME IT, JUST EMBRACE THE WILDLANDS
But if we stand together as a crew
DOMINATE AND CONQUER AS A WARBAND
Then we will find the warmth of human hearts
BEASTS IS WHAT WE ARE, COLD IS OUR ALLY
To make a better day before night starts
FIRE KILLS THE NIGHT BEFORE IT SHALL LIE
Wherever we go, brethren will arise
BRISTLE, SHOW OUR WRATH TO THESE MILK DRINKERS
Come, Avarosa's children, seize the sky
ICE BELOW SERYLDA'S FEET IS THICKER
Our unity will bring to Freljord law
THEY WILL NOT CONTROL OUR WINTER'S SHARP CLAW

The Shepherd - recorded by HackaKat
It was night in Targon
as I, a shepherd gawk
upon that starry rock
the heretical thoughts begin;
are gods to us mere men,
what we are to our flocks?
Ha! most certainly not
gods care not for their "lesser" kin
a thousand gods cry
"worship me, or be denied
the one afterlife"
and so I align;
all gods demanding worship,
unworthy of mine
-HackaKat
Yasuo’s Remorse - recorded by Hazy
How does a man fight a thousand battles,
When his demons strikes back,
How can a man conquer his fears,
When they are all a reality,
How can a sword shine in the twilight,
When is tainted beyond repair.
How can a person wake up every morning,
When his face is laid down,
How could you die with honour,
If that's something you always lacked.
How can you avenge your family,
From yourself?
How can you learn to love,
If you don't even love yourself.
Many questions I drown in alcohol,
Many questions I refuse to answer,
Many questions that seem to bother,
But I live with them on my mind,
The kindred should've claimed me but yet,
They seem to avert,
Tears now taste like booze and dirt,
That's is where I stay,
And I dream with a typhoon that drags me down, cuts me into pieces and doesn't rearrange them back,
And I dream that the demons, claim my soul, take my heart and feed on that, because there is not use for it, no more loss,
And I dream I don't lose myself again, at this point I don't know what I am, a burden, an assassin, a bad joke, but there is not turning back,
You can't turn back time, you just let it flow over your back.
And I dream again, that I can die in peace.
-Hazy
