1. METAL BARBARIANS

Resurrected by the power
Of ancient magic spell
For too long we have been waiting
Now we're back right out of hell
Once again time for swords to sing
Like ten thousand years ago
Our fate it has been written
We will thread bejeweled thrones

Metal Barbarians

None will ever stop the fury
Of our wild Cimmerian blood
Just like Aquilonia's fallen
Before us one day you'll crawl
We won't stop till we're victorious
All the world will know our names
Our destiny is glorious
Step aside pr draw your blade

Metal Barbarians

"What do I know of cultured ways,
The gilt, the craft, the lie
I, who was born in naked land
And bred in the open sky
The subtle tongue, the sophist guile,
They fail when broadswords sing
So rush in and die, dogs,
I was a man before I was a king!"

(Robert Ervin Howard, excerpt from
"The Road of Kings")

Metal Barbarians


2. BLOOD,STEEL AND GLORY

We're coming from long ago
From a world you've never seen
Where legends and Gods are real
And the sword's your destiny
Barbarians of a new age, rulers of the world
Screaming our battle cry for the war has just begun

We're riding battlehorses
Swords at side, ready to kill
The wargods protect us now
As we're marching to the field
The sorcerer can't stop us now, we are ready for the kill
Eyes burn with hate as we draw our blade and we cry

Blood, steel and glory - Take us through the night
Blood, steel and glory - Make us win the fight

A black rain made of arrows
Falls on those who try to run
They are dying by the score tonight
And our victory's not far
The battle hymn resounding now all over the battlefield
Once again our swords prevail, all hail Hyborian Steel

Blood, steel and glory - Take us through the night
Blood, steel and glory - Make us win the fight

I was born to fight, never had a reason to
What the Gods decide must always come true
Do not dream of peace, it's a lie and you all know
Only the dead have seen the end to this bloody war

Blood, steel and glory - Take us through the night
Blood, steel and glory - Make us win the fight


3. AQUILONIAN BATTLECRY

Mightiest of kingdoms
Of the dreaming west
Noble race of warriors
With a glorious past
Mitras from the heavens
Blesses our might
Gods of war and carnage
Stand by our side

Aquilonian battlecry!

From Nemedian borders
To the Pictish land
Our kingdom's ruling
With an iron hand
Black Dragons are riding
On the victory
Swords held to the heavens,
Blood will run in streams

Aquilonian battlecry!


4. THE MOUNTAIN OF CROM

High on his mountain he sits and he ponders
Storms and disaster to cast on the world

His heart is black and his sword is invincible
Seldom his name is called forth by his sons

Try if you dare but I warn you, you'll never return
Run if you can but you're never faster than the storm
No point at begging for mercy to a pitiless God
Only the bravest have seen
The mountain of Crom

Too late to pray, for the blade of your enemy's
Drinking your blood and your mind starts to fade

Before his throne you will crawl and he'll ask you
"What is the secret of steel?", do not fail!

The gates of his kingdom are open, you enter and fall
Into the black realms of winter where silence is strong
No point at begging for mercy to a pitiless God
Only the bravest have seen
The mountain of Crom

Try if you dare but I warn you, you'll never return
Run if you can but you're never faster than the storm
No point at begging for mercy to a pitiless God
Only the bravest have seen
The mountain of Crom


5. WAR ETERNAL (Cirith Ungol Cover)

As you stand before the gates of hell the future so Unclear
As you stand before the gates of hell the devil Draws You Near

War Eternal

The doomed one slowly beckons and draws you to his side
He speaks the curse to take your soul along the midnight Ride

War Eternal

When he looks into your eyes the skin melts off your back
And when he gets you all alone you know he'll soon attack

War Eternal

He starts to rob you of your soul you're trying To fight Back
Curse the beast and raise your sword to launch The first Attack

War Eternal

The war that stands eternal the battle you can't win
He'll rule the world and if he can't he'll burn it Down with Him


6. THE BLACK HAND OF SET

Born of the darkness
Beyond the black fields of the stars
Where the demons and planets collide
Lord of the serpents, creator of evil
Ultimate enemy of human kind

Demons cry in the night
You will die the black hand of Set

He is the master of black arts and evil
Ruler of Stygia, the cruel Thoth Amon
Lord of the black ring, master of illusion
Don't cross his path or he will steal your soul

It is time, sacrifice
You will die by the black hand of Set

Demons cry in the night
See the fire in his eyes
It is time, sacrifice
You will die by the black hand of Set


7. EASTERN SWORDS

We were born far from here
In the white sands of Hyrkania
Now we reign proud and free
From Vilayet to Zamora
Akhlat and Zamboula
Court of Aghrapur
Splendid under the sky
The land where we rule

Eastern swords - Hail to the Emperor!
Eastern swords - Hail to Turan!
Eastern swords - Power and splendor
Eastern swords - Shine in the Sun

Mighty king Yezdigerd
Lead us to carnage and glory
We will fight in your name
Unleash your god - Granted fury
Living Tarim, lead us
On to Erlik's road
Glory's shining on us
Silk and steel and gold

Eastern swords - Hail to the Emperor!
Eastern swords - Hail to Turan!
Eastern swords - Power and splendor
Eastern swords - Shine in the Sun
Eastern swords - Lemurian legacy
Eastern swords - Hyrkanian legacy
Eastern swords - Kingdom of fantasy
Eastern swords - Will never die

As the years go by
Eastern swords won't die


8. CIMMERIAN'S BLUES

Don't know, I don't know
I don't know where I am bound to go
Aesir and Vanir they fight too much
To fill my bag with their gold
To the North I've been told
Wizards rule in shadows of old
Hyperborea looks too grim
So I think I will never return
To Zamora I must go to be
The greatest thief in the world

Out of luck in Turan
Imperial troopers are on the march
On to Vilayet to save my ass
I'm just a fool on the run
Pirate's life's worth a try
Blood and seafoam under the sky
Then I'll cross the desert
Just to see the magic lands of sunrise
Vedhya's golden domes will gleam
In front of my barbarian's eyes

I am back to the west
Mercenary, thief and killer
All hyborian warlords know my name
And fear my blood thirsty blade
Warning sounds, hammers pound
The king's head rolling down to the ground
Revolution gives a chance
To meet my fate, my dream I have found
Aquilonia welcomes me
As I claim my bejeweled crown


9. DRUM OF PICTDOM

Birds are silent, all is still
Drums are pounding in the night
On your back an ancient thrill
Fear and terror in your eyes

From the jungle they came come
Painted faces in the night
Armed with axes made of stone
Savage fury, battlecry

The jungle is deep and cold is the night
Blood is red upon the ground
How can I sleep while in my mind
The drums of Pictdom sound?

From the mountains to the hills
I can hear their victims cry
On the altars they are killed
Ancient ritual, sacrifice

The jungle is deep and cold is the night
Blood is red upon the ground
How can I sleep while in my mind
The drums of Pictdom sound?

From the jungle they came come
Painted faces in the night
Armed with axes made of stone
Savage fury, battlecry

The jungle is deep and cold is the night
Blood is red upon the ground
How can I sleep while in my mind
The drums of Pictdom sound?


10. ROCK HYBORIA

Long time ago we lived like you
21st century, all doom & gloom
But then we travelled in time and space
Back to the splendor of Hyborian days

Across the kingdoms we hit the road
To play our music in chance of gold
Wenches and wine is what we need
Barbaric metal the life we lead

The palace guards welcome us, we're the band
All in the court stand up and raise your hands

We will rock
We're gonna rock hyboria

The show is over, the party starts
Black lotus and beer, walls torn apart
Come here you lady, your looks can kill
I guess you're ready to suck my steel

Oh no, my friends, this is time to escape
She was the princess and we've wasted this place

We will rock
We're gonna rock hyboria
