1. ARD RIG NA HEIREANN

(Instrumental)


2. DEFENDERS OF TANELORN

Blaze gently sails accross the green valley
But grim are the skies upon us
Once more arose the darkness to consume our lands
Countless minions appoach our fortress
And their black armour glitters.....

Grim clouds wander the skies
Last breath of sunrise dies
Dawn brings chill and dismay
It's time to rise or to fade away

White burgh surrounded by dark
Blades shine and thrust for blood
Long gaze stare at your foe
Dark clad armies are ready to go

Rise for more!
Children of dawn!

First strike shakes up the gates
Black shroud falls on our fates
Swords clash and up fly the sparks
Proud white banner surrounded by dark

Cold blaze whispers our names
With force shout out your pain
Run sraight into the storm
Final resistance of flames unborn

Blades of old!
Blister once more!


3. BATTLEFIELD DUST

Now that all the bridges burn
And the words of truth are spoken
Slowly heads of thousands turn
To hear the tale of promise broken

Rest in glory ruined past
Letters vanished are my tokens
Of beauty striving never rest
Eyes astray in final motion

Chords of chaos slowly fill
Fields of battles long forgotten
Rusty wings disturb the steel
And flesh of heroes lost and rotten

Songs of brave and coward deeds
Awaken echoes of their voices
Some died with pride and honor filled
Some rot in dust of shamefull choices...

Dust fills the sky as we fight,
Blood stains the field as we die...
Our promises broken - we cry...
All but eternity dies...


4. CONFESSIONS OF THE BLIND / ANGEL OF DEATH

Moon upon me as I walk dusty path through the night
I am alone, I am lost, the black veil on my eyes
Now I am blind, I will die, but I know it's my fault
I am a murderer, and the death will consume sinner's soul

Blind - my eyes were the price
Once and forever I've paid
Paid for all my crimes...
But now my blind eyes
See what all others cannot
I see end of this world...

Alone with my sword I have killed everybody I loved
And I can't throw of my mind all these tormenting thoughts
God! - I'm not yours, 'cause for me
You remained blind and deaf
Satan, take me, I shall serve if you save me from death

Night...
Darkness embraces my mind
Blind
I pay the price for my crimes
Yes,
I realize my mistakes
Pain
I've spent my whole life in vain!

Now I'm a slave, and from hell I can finally rise
Satan, my lord, he's the one who returned me my eyes
I will now serve, no more blind, with a scythe in my hands
I will not die, because now I'm the angel of death!


5. WARRIORS OF IRELAND

For last time I see you, my fatherland proud
The voice of the horn calling you is too loud
Our foe is so close, as we hear his war-cry
We go to the midnight to fight and to die!

Thunder in the sky is calling us to die
To die for your freedom, your truth and your pride
All hand by hand, forever we'll stand
The enemies shall run from our land!

Reminding my fathers before me they've gone
Ages and spell turned them into stone
I hear cry of Erin who loved me so well
I hear shore of water and ring of the bell

Your heroes await there, we see them arise
Their power and might come to us from the sky
Highest of Asgard will cover our heads
And Erin will wait 'till we rise from the dead!
