1. AT DAWN YOU DIE

Fighting and killing is all that I know
Monsters and men dying in rows
All I can see is dark prophecy
Maddening darkness fills my destiny

Black broken bodies all burned to the core
Satan's rule passing dark magic galore
The clock ticks slowly time passes by
Swords fall swiftly ending your life

As you burn in flames
Death calls out your name
Into hell you ride
At dawn you die

Tortured to death beyond recognition
Mercy to the weak has no definition
Lost in the shadows, hours before the sun
The end is near your soul is on the run

High priest of hell screaming with fury
Lord of the underworld calls out your name
Chariot driven nightmares ride side by side
Taking your life is just a game

As you burn in flames
Death calls out your name
Into hell you ride
At dawn you die

Die my enemies as I raise my sword of steel
Your blood fills my hands
As it drips onto the land

Lord of the world I have arrived
Fear creeps up your spine
By my sword you will die

As you burn in flames
Death calls out your name
Into hell you ride
At dawn you die


2. WAR IN THE SKY

The earth is barren sky is burning up with crimson red
Heavens angels cry for glory swinging swords of pain
Soaring voices rip the silence angelic bolting rage
The end is near it's oh so clear the evil one will pay

Eternal one will never die
He's ready to fight
Destiny calls only the strong will survive

Evil calls out to the legions of demons
The sound of war will bring out the slayers of hell

Wicked forms receive the calling bringers of despair
Mounted on bubonic steeds they begin to take the air
Eyes of fire wings of fury silver lances shine
Soaring high and flying fast the dead begins to rise

The battle cry swirling angels of fire
Toll the bells that ring from the voices of hell

Flashing lights of good and evil victory will cost
The pounding of the iron anvil bringing down the cross
Legions of the doomsday sire crying tongues of pain
The war is done lord of the son forever we will reign

Eternal one the champion will never die
Ready to fight
Destiny calls only the strong will survive
A war in the sky


3. RING OF SOULS

Soaring through the darkness
I ride on the wings of evil
I see the world below me
My magic is growing stronger within me

I bring forth the power of the ring
Red diamonds burn unholy
My soul tears into the sky
I wear the ring of souls

I raise my fists with glory
To show the world my fury
My spirit is lifted
To the souls of the ancients

I bring forth the power of the ring
Red diamonds burn unholy
The heavens open up around me
Dark magic now unfolds

Summoning the spirits from the dark world
Crossing the bridges of time
Creatures from the netherworlds
Under my command for all to see

The ring has mighty power
Its radiance consumes me
Bringing the heavens together
Lost souls run free forever

I bring forth the power of the ring
Red diamonds burn unholy
My soul tears into the sky
I wear the ring of souls


4. SONG OF ROLAND

Twenty thousand Frenchmen lying in the valley
Rear guard to king Charlamagne
The great one among them Roland was his name
Nephew of the Christian king
But sad is the story that falls on this day
For treason is at hand
As Ganelon plots conspiracy
A true evil man

War is at hand
Plotted by an evil man
One who paid tribute to King Charlamagne
Roland how sad
Crossed by his own man
Honor lies dead on the blood soaked land

The Spanish come to ambush
With soldiers left behind
Come in masses unfortold
One hundred thousand cross the line
Death falls upon the Frenchmen
A massacre of twenty thousand men
Blood stains the ground
And the entire land

Roland sounds the oliphant calling out the armies
That lie some time away
The great king hears the echo
So he sends his knights back to Spain

The vast and the powerful armies
That were made of gold and steel
Run back with honor in their hearts
To the mighty King Charlamagne

When he gets back to the valley
He knows it's all in vain
For Roland lies on the ground
With a large wound in his head
The great king weeps in agony
For the death of his warrior
But now the wrath of vengeance
Will take its final toll

Munjoie is cried out as the army closes in
Out to spill the blood of the Spanish king
Munjoie is cried out as the army closes in
To avenge the death and pay homage to their king

Standing at the battlefield the King attacks Belignat
Ripping his heart and skin
The battle ends in glory as it was said in prophesy
The trial of the wicked is at hand
The most sinful crime of the land
So death is the verdict's punishment
And Ganelon pays for his sins


5. DEMONS BURIED WITHIN

The anger that that I feel forever
To go out to kill all that that I know
I feel the demons buried inside
Demons buried inside

People don't understand me
Why things bother me so much
I feel the horror killing me
To extinguish the beast inside of me

Life is hard and unholy
To toil the world in pain
This searing anger wrecking up my mind
Hatred, anger there's no difference to the monster
I have no place to run, nowhere to hide

I cannot relate my innocence
So lost so hurt from birth
I wish to find a way to set me free
To extinguish the beast inside of me

Life, death, love, hate, learn
No difference in the end we all will burn
The fear which blinds my vision
I know will never return

The anger that I feel forever
To go out to kill all that I know


6. THAT EVIL WIZARD

That evil wizard, his crystal ball
His kingdom in the sky, will it ever fall
His power growing, knowledge divine
On his dragon, he rules the sky

Eyes of fire burning red, magic gestures beckon death
Spell of madness inflicting pain, on the people insanity reigns
Everlasting doom and pain, falling from dark skies of rain
All the people bow their heads, in fear they know he's sending death

They all look into the sky and see his evil gazing eyes
Glaring down and piercing them, peering through their darkest sins
In the day his image fills the sky, then he plays tormenting souls at night
All will run but can never hide, on their knees they all beg to die

He looks down at all the people that live upon the ground
They are searching for a weapon that will never be found
They are wishing to destroy him, break free from his spell
He glares down at them in laughter, he knows they never will

The people pray to their gods, stop that evil wizard's reign
His power carries on
Send us one to conquer him, end our anguish and pain

That evil wizard, his crystal ball
His kingdom in the sky, it will never fall
His is all knowing, power divine
He is eternal, he'll never die

Little people are on the run, seeking refuge from that evil one
From his madness and casting spells, there's no escaping their living hell
They all beg and plead the same, but their prayers are all in vain
That evil wizard knows what's next, on the people eternal death

All will die!
Terror in the night!
All must die!
In this losing fight!


7. KEEPER OF THE GATE

The starlit sky
Was blackened by the light of the moon
An ancient time
When creatures roamed the dark hours

Dragons ruled the skies
Serpents filled the seas
Witches and warlocks
Planted evil seeds

He is trapped behind the gates of eternity
Falling through dimensions that no one can plainly see
Though he cannot die, he will surely fight
The keeper of the gate of eternity

His name is Merlin
Wizard, Magician
He is the keeper of what's behind the gate

Keeper of the Gate
Keeper of the Gate

He will keep the world safe, crushing satan's head
Fight unholy angels that rage from the sky
Though he has the power to destroy the beast
The gate will soon be opened and he will be released

Only he knows the secret combination
Alignment of the stars
Only he knows the magic incantation
To release the unholy one


8. THE RIPPER

You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock
In London town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll attack

I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper

You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless
Nocturnal and nameless
Except for "The Ripper"
Or if you like "Jack The Knife"

Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper
