Lyrics


1. LORD OF THE WIND

Lord Of The Wind

The wind blows strong whipping the deck
Black swan of sea fly on the waves
Thunders and lightnings the dark prophecy
"Bows to the west" said a voice in me

Don't ask me to live in the fear of death
Don't ask me to die on the straw
Better to be food for eagles somewhere
Better to die with the sword in my hand

Lord of the wind
take me where the sun goes down
Lord of the wind
Over there! over there!

Lord of the wind, lord of the wind

The wind blows strong whipping the deck
Black swan of sea fly on the waves
Thunders and lightnings the dark prophecy
"Bows to the west" said a voice in me


2. THE KING OF CROWS

You came here on the winds of a dream
In the heroes age
Little man of a future breed
Sleeping on an ox skin
Two armies are fighting
Before your unbeliever eyes
The crows and the dragon
Best warriors are falling
One by one today

You play a chess game
With the life of your men
King of all the kings
Listen to the king of crows owein
Or no one will remain

Your hands turn to golden dust
The chessmen of that foolish game
The battle is over
And now you are aware
Of your insanity

You play a chess game
With the life of your men
King of all the kings
Listen to the king of crows owein
Or no one will remain


3. SPARTACUS

Like a wild beast
You've been fighting in the bloody show
Slave against slave
For the pleasure of the crowd
But now swords and tridents
Are for your tormentors
Never again chains for you
Freedom or death

An army of slaves
Follows you to escape
You're ready to die
For your rights

Freedom is dead
Killed by whip of oppression
Now the iron bites your flesh
Now you can see the tyrant
You're spurring your horse
And are running to kill
But iron continues to wound
You can only fall

Six thousands crosses on the hill
Is the tragic
Epilogue of the only just war
Of all the times

Scream of rage for the free man
He wants to break these cruel chains
A cry of war of the wild man
Death is better than the slavery
So die for your rights


4. MOTHER FOREST

In the deep of your heart
I heard a whisper
I feel the silent breath of a hidden folk

Mother forest your life
Seems so asleep in the mist
Of your green embrace

The dying fire of Beltane is caught
In the tender dawn
And the falcon spreads its wings
To the awakening sun
There's immediate life between the leaves
Shining of dew
Here I'm lying waiting for a sign

Still in the daylight
He stands so proud
The king of deers
Is ready for the fight
For the fight...


5. RIDE OF TEMPLARES

Ride of the Templares

Riding and flying on the wings of storm
Under the shadow of the "Beaucent"
In the solitude of this sea of sand
Steel may be

Templar knights come in the dawn
Like a white swarm of blood thirsty birds
Breaking in the enemy camp
In a whirlind of swords

Twenty two against one thousand
Cutting shields breaking bones
Furiously hammering in the bloody mist of battle
Under the red light of sky

Black and white, darkness and light
Death and life, pray and fight
Cross and crescent, evil and good
All that is called Baphomet


6. VLAD TEPES

Black smoke is rising on the horizon
Like a falcon you spy the line
Eyes cold as iron of a bird of prey
Chaos pushes at the kingdom doors
Listen to their dark drums
Scanning the pounding of
That bloody horde

No time for reason
No time for mercy
Between the fire of war insanity
Only pain in the clash of two worlds
Caught in the storm of the rising hate
The triumph of blind fury
Crushes all the mortal men
So you will fight again

Like a dwarf with a sling against a giant
You can't show mercy when he bites the dust
There's no light of hope in your heart of stone
Because there won't be a better time
Cruel man you've spent your life
Burning killing and destroying without remorse

So leave behind you the forest of pain
Made of thousands victims of hate


7. IRON SHADOWS

Dark was the dawn and biting was the air
The strong wind of death blew in the snowy plain
While the warriors of two tribes
Were waiting to fight for their lives

Hard were the times and cruel was the price
To pay to survive in this dark age
And so blew the deep battle horns
The sharp iron drank blood without rest

They fought as the lions, against the hungry dogs
They died like men, on the blood stained snow

In the fury of battle born a son of king
"Victory" was written on the book of doom
His father gave him a mighty sword
And told him: "you always trust in this faithful steel"

When he grew strong as the storm
He went through the world thirsty for vengeance
Until he found the wicked man
And the strong wind of death blew again

They fought as the lions, against the hungry dogs
He won like a hero, on the blood stained stone
