1. I AM LEGEND

And when the earth was born
So was the storm forged sword
A weapon worthy of the gods,
Forged in fire my only place
Amongst the dead their blood to taste
A blade of vengeance, honour, death
Torn from their bodies your last breath.

Ascending rising to the skies
Your life force passes as you die
From life your passing brings no shame
A victory's measured by the slain
No conscience hampers what I am
When wielded by the hand of mortal man.

You'll see me, you'll see me
You'll cry in fear
The sun will never rise again
Lying on the field amongst the slain
My name is whispered in the chill of night.

Kneel before me kneel before me
Kneel before me kneel before me.

Empires built upon my name
Cities writhing deep in flame
The field of battle I'm reborn
Cutting, slashing,
Down the weak with scorn
Singing relishing the death of men
who question what I am
Their pride will see them in their grave
You'll see me down to your grave.

For an age I have travelled and slain
As the blood and the tears of the wives they have fallen like rain
No remorse no regret as I march forward yet
For I know those who face me must die.


2. A MILLION STRONG

Lightning strikes through midnight skies
Rolling thunder, from the hills hear the music rise.

Can you mask the man you are?
Can you deny your chosen path?
Can you suppress your hearts desires?
Betray your soul become the liar
Fall to your knees a beaten man
In shame, dishonour and disgrace.

A million strong we are the ones
Who live our lives wild and free.

You will see
Born to be
We will seize the day.

Become the man you know you are
Infamous legend rising star
Over hills through forests you will roam
Part of the pack you stand alone
A leader forging greater ways
The future burns in mighty days.

Lightning strikes through midnight skies
Rolling thunder, from the hills hear the music rise
No stage before us togheter we sing
A primal tribal movement now begins
Now begins now begins now begins
a primal tribal movement.

Become the man you know you are
Infamous legend rising star
Over hills through forests you will roam
Part of the pack you stand alone
A leader forging greater ways
The future burns in mighty days.


3. BORN IN HELL

The Metal god who burns inside
Born before the dawn of time
Almighty overlord we crave
To be the greatest of warrior bones
Fighting 'till death, on our knees
All for Heavy Metal's greatest deeds.

Show me the way, Metal god of hell I pray
Show me the way, Metal god of hell I pray.

Boprn in hell Metal's son
Master of the sword number one
Leader to the ranks of men
Who live for Metal 'till the end
With steel we ride never to die
Victory burns in our eyes.

I'll fight for the one,
I'll bleed 'till the end,
I'll ride hard with steel,
So victory is met.

All for the glory, all for the whores,
all for the king of Heavy Metal
All for the glory, all for the whores
All for the glory, all for the whores
All for Heavy Metal
PURE HEAVY METAL


4. LAMENTATIONS OF WAR

We are the ones with death in our eyes
Tears flood these plains as the reaper reigns.

War has a million faces of hate
Endless the blood, carnage and rage
One last desperate cry, humanity dies
In this field of red
Countless have fallen,
Been slain and betrayed
Images burn in my mind everyday.

To burn a hero for a piece of land
And watch the innocent die
For the sake of a plan.

This death toll rising I can take no more
Agony, torment the horror unfolds
A nightmare before us that endlessly grows
Boys with a future, men with a home
No longer with us their grave is unknown
How did this ever begin?
Power and greed lead to ultimate sin.

I am breaking, my heart racing
This soul aching emotions are numb
No more can I take,
I wish death everyday.

I lie waiting
For freedom to take me away.

Rancid leaders
With not one ounce of courage
Sending ordinary men
To fight for their ambitions.

No life is sacred none need be spared
The bodies are piled laid naked and bare
Those who declare this war
Sit in ivory towers
Where their sons shall rule
I have cried my last
My soul now belongs in the past.


5. TASTE THE METAL

I'm the beast who creeps around
To awaken in your head
The darkest parts of mind and soul
By the devil you'll be led
Forever a part I'll dwell inside
Your heart will do the rest.

The beast declares your soul
Your mind your form his own
Forever now your dwell
Blackened tainted realms
Bleeding raping
The sadist feeding taking
Burnt and twisted your life
Belongs to him now.

You'll taste the metal drink it down
You'll tasste the metal hear the sound
Can you feel this beast alive?
Do you know it owns your soul?

Sacrifice the virgin son
His blood shall make amends
Ever alive the hills cry out
METAL IS FOR MEN!
Reigning now the black winds bowl
Togheter till the end.

Can you feel this beast alive?
Do you know it owns your soul?
Forever on your knees
You'll cry begging out for more
As you writhe around upon the ground
The monster draws you near.

You'll taste the metal, you'll taste your tears
You'll be forever the pilgrim without fear
You'll kneel and worship before the Altar of steel
You'll know you're worth it
More than any man can feel.


6. WARRIORS GUIDE

Endless they roam Valkyrie ride
The Odin's great hall a hero with pride
Valhalla's gates have been thrown open wide,
Thrown open wide
In battle a death of distinction and fame
For the fearless and mighty
There's no earthly grave
Just the chamber of gods the maiden's your guide
Her heavenly touch even warrior's cry
As she leads them to odin's side,
Odin's great side.

The fasting, the splendour all heroes indulge
Yet the Valkyrie tribe are the ones
Who guide the hero's home, the warrior's home.

The journey before them on angel's wings spread
The path of the righteous no evil dare tread
Nonever has tread, no never has tread
The true ethereal plains even kings fear and hate
Yet a banquet before them eternally waits
But the mystical way holds secrets unknown
Whom to even the great shall not be impart
Forever a slave in the dark, forever a slave
To the pure divine, forever a slave,
A slave in the dark
To the pure divine,
To the Valkyrie tribe
In the mire the fallen left behind
The wretched, unworthy,
Contemptible, despised
They were banished
From Valhalla's halls
Regarded by Odin
As pointless fools
Never considered men,
Never to reign with them.

Can they mend their failed ways?

The sacred route to ancestral plains
Forever guarded the Valkyrie domain
No warrior great, no king obeyed,
No sword, no spear, no axe, no race
Shall conquer this realm
No never alive.

The mighty warrior
Endlessly guided home.


7. CALL OF THE WILD

Silent predator, king of all he surveys
Nature's selection raised him
To supreme heights,
Primal creature untamed
Although man would raise his hand
To have you banished to the ether
He will surely fail
Yours is a kingdom,
Your name shall be ancestor
Long after the demise of man.

Spectral in moonlight, king of the plains
Hunter and hunted yet you remain
The pack shall reign, ebb, move and flow
An entity thriving all its own
Alpha grows while weaklings die
Yet all are outlived as the seasons roll by.

The forest floor your bed, your own
Land once ruled by wolf alone
Primal spirit reign in me
Call of the wild set us free
Hunger burning in his eyes
This kingdom owned by him tonight
(children of the night).

Ever moving, surviving, ever taking, united
They will bleed here, they will seize here
Their prey feared till death stared
In their eyes they became as one.

The unbread beast the hunter seeks
Through endless nights they roam
As a union of purity
Reveals the heir to nature's throne
HAIL MIGHTY WOLF CLAN,
HAIL MIGHTY WOLF CLAN
HAIL MIGHTY,
HAIL MIGHTY WOLF CLAN.


8. UNDER THE SIGN (Of The Skull And Crossbones)

Capture the moment far on the waves
The flag flown high, piracy reigns
The seas great fury I will ride endlessly
Roaming reckless
The bounty I take
The women I mate
All shall answer to me.

Oceans crossed wretched our name
Thieves and vagabonds 'till our dying day
All will fear when they see the sign
Flying high the skull 'n' crossbone.

Anarchy rules, but as captain I reign
Punishment swift by the plank
And the blade
The men beside me loyal and
Fearless will never betray
The code unspoken,
Do what thou will, kill or be killed
The waves will one day take me.

Draw, Thrust, Kill, DIE.

Sanity lost when you meet us your plead
Covered with blood we're the devil's seed
Take no prisioners we will slay them all
Through hell and high bloodied evil waters
When lightning strikes sail with me.


9. MAY YOUR BLADE NEVER DULL

Breakin' moments change our ways
Bleeding skies the truth will rise
We will never fade away
Our time our way we seize
The soul will breathe, forever we'll be
Ridin' proud our blades will forge the way
You'll see again.

Brothers raise your arms this time is ours
The wind and tides are turning
The full moon is lights
The path we're talking, all others will be forsaken.

Warrior's decree we will ride to see another dawn
Warrior riding free
Our destiny set in stone since we were born
We will live as one.

From the clouds of the past we will arise
Into glory we ride, we are alive
Into the night, we will see
Our steel shines through
With victory, bastions of Metal we shall set ourselves free
Forever reigning our own destiny, we will guide the way.

Ever in this night we belong
This stage is ours by right
Never fading the flame is gaining
Souls rising with strength beyond.

With heads held high
Mere mortal man
Will rise to sit with kings and gods
As masters of Metal we will reign
Beyond the end of time.
