Lyrics


1. A WARRIOR'S DEATH

By still dark waters he stands alone
Staring to the horizon
This cursed realm has seen the glory and the honor
Forged by the blade
Still he stares to the blackness of this night
A new dawn he shall not see

He remembers the times long forgotten
The times of old
When swords sang and shields shattered
And men of valor met a warrior's death

Sun not yet rising
Dead to him is this world
A cruel and empty land
Only the last man stands

He remembers the times long forgotten
The times of old
When swords sang and shields shattered
And men of valor met a warrior's death

He curses the world
He curses the gods
Why did he not leave like his brothers
That died in battle?
Yet there he stands alone on the seashore
As an old and weary man whose time has been forgotten

Still he stares to the blackness of this night
A new dawn he shall not see

He remembers the times long forgotten
The times of old
When swords sang and shields shattered
And men of valor met a warrior's death
As he feels the cold claws of his time gone
He plunges into the sea and is never seen again


2. ARMY OF THE FALLEN

From this scorched earth they arise
The army of fallen souls
My time is here to avenge
Your time has come to obey

Consuming fear within their hearts
Despair and horror filling their minds
Eternal shadow sweeping this land
Fight 'til death or die by my hand

Suck the life from this land
Spill the blood of every man
March ever on and heed my call
Raise your swords and slaugter them all

Consuming fear within their hearts
Despair and horror filling their minds
Eternal shadow sweeping this land
Fight 'til death or die by my hand

Death, decay and fear!
Soon the moment is here

Gather up my sons
Get ready to fight

Attack!

Charging into our destiny
Feeling the heat of the battle
We won't fall before our enemy
Our brave hearts will stand up and fight

The fury of our swords
Crushing your skulls
Mighty steel shining so bright
Let the feast begin!


3. GODSEND

Under a veil of hate and sorrow
They struggle to survive
Doomed in eternal suffering
Praying for freedom

Betrayed by their own kind
Now living in madness

An ancient hero is still to be risen
An ancient god known only by the few
In these times they must be strong
For the cry for help has been heard

From the shadow of the past long forgotten
Rises forth an ancient hero in all his glory
Like a godsend he will lead the people into victory
The enemy shall bow to his unholy feet

Gather up all my sons for now you will prevail
The time has come to make them pay
Strike them with all your might and your land will be free
The bards will sing of your bravery

An ancient hero is still to be risen
An ancient god known only by the few
In these times they must be strong
For the cry for help has been heard

From the shadow of the past long forgotten
Rises forth an ancient hero in all his glory
Like a godsend he will lead the people into victory
The enemy shall bow to his unholy feet

From the shadow of the past long forgotten
Rises forth an ancient hero in all his glory
Like a godsend he will lead the people into victory
The enemy shall bow to his unholy feet


4. THE WANDERER OF TIME

There was a man who was cursed by the gods
To walk this land forevermore
Never to rest never to find peace
Trapped in this world for an endless journey

Offering his sword to the highest bidder
Fighting for whoever pays the most
No fear in his eyes, he knows he can't die
Taking a life is as easy as breathing

Yet another war to fight
He doesn't feel a thing
He has seen this a thousand times before
His mind is numb

What could a man have done
To so awaken the wrath of the gods?
Never to rest never to find peace
Trapped in this world for an endless journey

Can there be a fate more horrid
Than the curse of immortal life?
Still he wanders the grounds of this dark realm
Never finding a place to call home

Yet another war to fight
He doesn't feel a thing
He has seen this a thousand times before.
His mind is numb

He stands under a crimson sky
Alone as centuries pass by

Offering his sword to the highest bidder
Fighting for whoever pays the most
No fear in his eyes, he knows he can't die
Taking a life is as easy as breathing

There was a time when he picked the wrong side
There was a time when the war was lost
The entire army was crushed down to nothing
Only one man rose from the ashes

He didn't feel a thing
His mind is numb

Imagine a life where no one can stay by your side
What it's like to watch countless of your own children die

He is nothing but an empty shell
Will he ever get to embrace death?

In the shadows he's dwelled for thousands of years
Seen nothing but death
Only when the sun sets for the last time
He will find peace


5. DISCIPLE OF THE SWORD

Seeking for a war to fight
Driven by his destiny
Through his life he has journeyd far and wide
His match yet to be found

In the distance
Echoes that scream
By his ancestors
He follows his dream

Battling through snow and ice
He struggles on to survive
With every step he can feel the cold
Like a beast biting through his bones

In the distance
Echoes that scream
By his ancestors
He follows his dream

Fight he will forever
Give up he will never!

Fighting for the glory
Fighting for eternity
