[English]

Sight

Pale riders into the night

Galloping harder and faster (faster)

Through your dreaming, wake

Walk towards the fire, innate

Frost bitten soul below zero (zero)

Excitation

Are you remembering the sound?

Recall the shaking of the ground

Pounding, pounding, no remorse

Lords of summer, set on course

Pushing, pushing, horsemen ride

Lords of summer, undenied

...

At last the thawing has begun

Come trade your darkness for the sun

Melting the chill of winter's turn

So celebrate and let your fires burn

The lords of summer have returned

...

Straight

Life passes through, penetrate

It's been a long, lonely winter (winter)

Illumination, bright

Fading the volume and light

Reanimated by fire (fire)

Transformation

Become the nexus of the sound

Become the shaking of the ground

Pounding, pounding, no remorse

Lords of summer, set on course

Pushing, pushing, horsemen ride

Lords of summer, undenied

...

At last the thawing has begun

Come trade your darkness for the sun

Melting the chill of winter's turn

So celebrate and let your fires burn

The lords of summer have returned

...

Whoa, Pounding, pounding, no remorse

Lords of summer, set on course

Whoa, pushing, pushing, horsemen ride

The lords of summer, undenied

Undenied

...

At last the thawing has begun

Come trade your darkness for the sun

Melting the chill of winter's turn

So celebrate and let your fires burn

The lords of summer have returned

...
