Lyrics


1. HIGHER THAN EAGLES

Deep in the age, where men were strong like steel.
There Hearts were filled with pride,
No pain and fear they feel. Two eyes are
Looking through stormy clouds, the god of the
Fight watches his sons from above.

He chooses them, he watches them,
He leads them to the fields With bright
Shining weapons and blood covered shields
Only Odin knew who will honor found,
In the end they will be for ever bound.

Fallen souls are flying higher than eagles,
On there way to the Gates of Valhall
Behind the walls of the glorious Hall,
Exist a grave for the bravest of all.

They served there Kings and defended
There empires with there lifes.
Everything was permitted they knew they will arrive.
Odin will not allow that a Soul goes astray,
No he will watch them all the way.

Fallen souls…

Higher than, higher than, higher than,
Higher than eagles
Higher than, higher than,
Higher than the sun.

Fallen souls…


2. PROUD AND STRONG

Back in the year 356 before Christ was born
In a part of the ancient Greece
Stones and fire, catapults pounding the walls
An ancient town under siege sounds of war fill the air
Hearts are filled with despair

We're storming the walls and smashing their gates
Ten thousand men in arms in Philipp we trust,
He lights up the world for honour and glory we'd fall

I am king, I've conquered this land this town will be mine
Before the night I will crush your towers to dust
Blood and fear is my wine

Come, storm their walls and smash down their gates
The gods have chosen this day darkness we bring and
Victory's near we'll reap this harvest of flame

Proud and strong we will stand victory will be ours in the end

No hesitance, no cowardice — the whip for those who start back
On and on we are marching to bloodshed, destruction attack

The enemies down to their knees, our kingdom has come
To them all a burst of steel in every street,
An ancient town
Ready to fall messenger comes,
Searching for me - breathless
He falls to his knees
"Today, my king, your wife has born a gorgeous son to thee!!!"

I praise the gods for this glorious day my triumph burns high
Like a flame listen to me, my son will be king
And Alexander's his name...

Proud and strong we will stand
Victory will be ours in the end


3. UNDER A FROZEN SUN

My mind is now much clearer,
The Thunder is gone
I fall down on my knees,
The Battle is won.
The snow is red with blood,
As red as the sword in my hand
Fiends and brothers lost there lives on the field,
I am alone

A whisper in my back,
A laughter soft and sweet Is it real,
Or is it fantasy?
I turn around my sword is still hungry
I can hardly believe,
A maid is watching me

Kingdome of ice, high in the north
Where ancient spirits roam Under a frozen sun
I'll never fear the demons you send
I'm standing proud and strong
Under a frozen, under a frozen...

She nimbly strides among the fallen,
Doesn't take notice
Of death and blood I could not move,
I hold my breath
Her divine body lures me a trace of silk and nothing more
I've never seen, I've never seen such a beauty before

She smiles, entices me, inflames my desire
Her glance promises heaven, it ignites my fire
Under the silk, her dark fleece I can see
A valley of lust is offered to me

Kingdome of ice ...

But suddenly she starts to run,
Leaving the plain of death
Her whisper's like a fiery blade,
That burns my blood and
Heats my soul My limbs awake,
I hunt after her, there is
No chance to escape...

So follow me, that's what I want,
You're under my control...
You will be mine,
There is no place where you can hide.

Kingdome of ice ...


4. MARCH SCATTER BURN

With thousands of men he started in Spain
To throw down the Roman pride
Which way will he choose The foe's on his guard.
Cause such a big army no one can hide

But he took a path so fatal and hard
So many died on their march
Directly into the enemy's heart
A daggers thrust - deadly and fast

Through ice and snow Through dark night
and storm Starved, wear down and tired
They came down the mountains
They have marched through the Alps
But the fire was still burning deep in their hearts

March to the walls of Rome
Scatter the Roman cohorts
Bum the enemy's land
Trample down their empire into the dust

In so many battles he blew them away
In so many battles he has won
Smashed by elephants
The Romans retreated - their glory was gone

Before the gates of Rome he stopped
Why he did not go on? This was the end
Enfeebled his men Victory was lost,
they were slain one by one

March to the walls of Rome….


5. SPIRIT OF STEEL

From a mountain so high he's watching us all
A god full of power and might
He honours the brave and he honours the strong
A laughter for those who flee from a fight

No man's on your side — no beast you can trust
And never rely on a wife Your only true friend
in this merciless world is your sword
the steel in your hand

So live for the spirit Fight for the spirit
Trust in the spirit of steel
Discover its secret Never fail on your way
Feel the spirit of steel

Ride my son on the path of glory
Your own kingdom lies far ahead
One day you will stand before his throne
Counting the blood you have shed

You have to kill before you've been killed
Live like a king - not a slave
Be proud in your heart and never look down
Time enough for the earth's in the grave

Beware of the time your kingdom is near
A crown waits for you in the end
Trample your foes down into dust
From battle to battle with sword in your hand

So live for the spirit, fight for the spirit
Trust in the spirit of steel discover its secret
Never fail on your way Feel the spirit of steel

Ride my son…


6. SUMMON THE DEATH

High walls of stone Dark is the night
Whispering shadows of eons behind
This is my path It leads to the dead
I have to dare my life for my kind
The hour has come For oath-breakers now
I am the heir of the one you've betrayed
I passed the door Awake on my call
Stand with the king to meet your fate

Only the strong will go on Go on
through the paths of no dawn
A terror that grows in the dark
An army of shadows –
an oath they have sworn

We came to fulfil our oath
Called by the one to obey
Pale banners of clouds and weapons of dust
Riders of shadows –
our guild we will pay to find peace

The shadows arise Something grows in my back
This is the power to call I am there
For thousands of years It slept in the depths
Awaiting salvation from their despair
So follow me now The dark lord has grown
In return of your duty you will be free
The fear now is gone I've summoned the dead
Through grief and darkness a light I can see

Only the strong will go on...

We came to fulfil our oath…


7. BLOODLUST

Everything's blurred before my eyes
The world's turning red
Terrible screams deep in my mind
My blood bums like fire
Nothing to see, nothing to feel
My rage's getting higher
I have to slay - spilling sweet blood
To yield this desire

I was born to kill I am hatred,
Lust and pain Feel my anger - taste my steel
Die by my hand

Cry! No one will hear you
Die! Steel cuts through flesh
I will give no mercy to you
Before I die you're falling, too

I was born to kill I am hatred,
Lust and pain Feel my anger - taste my steel
Die by my hand

Bloodlust Come, taste my blade
Run for your life before it's too late
Bloodlust Come, taste my blade
Feel the ecstasy - I am your fate

Slashing and grinding, ripping their flesh
Blood falls like rain It doesn't matter if
It's my own For I feel no pain I walk
Through darkness, the mist will
Not clear My sword is reality Cutting
Through throats, tasting their tears
Bloodlust's set free

I was born to kill…

Bloodlust…


8. WARRIORS

By rain and by thunder we hear the battle cries
They lead us to the field where men will die today
We are proud of our weapons and we know that they will kill
And still our horses are strong after all the fights with us

We are a blessed select unity, send by our king
We are still unbeaten
Unbroken our will to serve and follow him
Where ever his fights lead us, we also will go
And we know...

We are Warriors send by our King
Ready to die for his faith
We are Warriors send by our King
Ready to die by enemy's steel

We are five hundred men send to kill the opposing troops
Armed with shiny steel, our lungs are filled
with iron breath The battle cries get clearer now,
we know our aim The smell of death and despair gets
closer now

The moment has now come for us,
We are able to help our brothers now
We feel their pain
The sight of death doesn't wake fear in us
Where ever his fights lead us, we also will go
And we know...

We are Warriors send by our King
Ready to die for his faith
We are Warriors send by our King
Ready to die by enemy's steel


9. FAREWELL MY FRIEND

The fire burns high I bid you farewell
Your ashes I'll raise to the wind
I honour your deeds In glory you fell
Betrayed by a god - not defeated by man

My friend, I'll meet you again one day
But first I swear:
I'll take revenge!!!

You were slain on the field
For the amour you wore was mine
Forgive me my guilt I will not rest
'Til your death is avenged
And all the blood of our fiends is spilled

My friend, I'll meet you again one day

...But first I swear: Hector will die!!!

Over the river
Your soul is sent
In the halls of the dead ones
We'll meet us again
Farewell my friend

...But first I swear: Hector will die!!!

Over the river
Your soul is sent
In the halls of the dead ones
We'll meet us again
Farewell my friend


10. IN THE HEAT OF THE BATTLE

My sword bites through flesh - it's a feast for my eyes
I trample them down in my rage
The hoofs of my horses are red with spilled blood
Bones and spears are scattered by wheels

I'm walking through fire, through fire and dust
I'm breathing the breath of the gods
Where is my power - where are you now
While I'm ripping the foes with my sword

My hatred was born
Hector must die!
I will slay him in battle
An oath I have sworn
Hector must die!
In the heat of the battle

Through rivers of blood my path leads to you
The hour has come to kill
I have come claiming my victory now
A token I set - my oath is fulfilled

Bloodlust has overwhelmed my mind
Patroclus, this is for you!
The body of Hector my chariot drags
I pass by the walls of the foes

My hatred was born
Hector must die!
I will slay him in battle
An oath I have sworn
Hector must die!
In the heat of the battle


11. INGLORIOUS BIRTH

She thought he brought her water,
But the chalice was filled with blood
She expects the gruesome birth
Of a prince from the lord... of darkness

For many days the fog
Has come thicker on the frozen landscape
The sky and the clouds,
Get increasingly black... and blacker

The time of change has started now
She knew it well
She tries to prevent it, but the power of him
Seems to be stronger
And when she cries a tear of despair
He stands behind her
Ha stands behind her and enters her thoughts

The shadows of the eternal death
Put themselves over the black hills in the distance
They announced the approaching arrival
Of the faithful following... of the lord

She cries, because she feels she's missing strength
To keep away the inglorious birth from the world
The signs of the destructive future
Getting now clearer and clearer

The time of change has started now…

And now the prince is born!
