1. GATES OF EVERMORE

Tonight we ride for victory against a worthy foe
Onward to the bitter fields of battle now we go
Children cry in misery, their houses burn
Daughters, wives and mothers now lament for our return
We only hope to live to see the morning sun
This raging battle shall be won

Storming the gates of Evermore
Invaders from unfriendly shores
Their fallen sons be our reward
Stoking the mighty flames of war

Deafening, our battle cry as soldiers join the fray
Wizards casting spells to keep our mighty force at bay
Swordsmen clash and beasts attack
With madness in their eyes
Bastards closing in but this is not our day to die
We hold the fate of our own kingdom in our hands
We seize control and take command

Storming the gates of Evermore
Invaders from unfriendly shores
Their fallen sons be our reward
Stoking the mighty flames of war

Now the day belongs to us, our enemies retreat
Send them back from whence they came, their heads hung in defeat
Back upon our horses as we make the journey home
Those who try to conquer us shall reap what they have sown
The sun is rising and the darkness fades away
We live to fight another day

Storming the gates of Evermore
Invaders from unfriendly shores
Their fallen sons be our reward
Stoking the mighty flames of war

3. SEEKERS OF THE BLADE

Deep in the night
Trudging through landscapes bleak and cold
No end in sight
Battling enemies so bold
Leaving behind
All of our families and our home
Seeking the sword
Hidden away in halls of stone

Mighty and powerful
Magic and mystical
Its ancient powers are unknown

We are extraordinary men
Our names are known throughout the land
Victorious we shall be made
We are the seekers of the blade

Searching for steel
Through every cavern great and small
Secrets revealed
Within these ancient temple walls
The legend is real
It's up to us to find the key
Breaking the seal
Of every unsolved mystery

Our names are known throughout the land
Victorious we shall be made
We are the seekers of the blade

We are the great protectors
We hold the key
Unlocking ancient mysteries
Beyond the gates of wonder
Across the sea
There lies a great divinity

And our crusade begins again
This holy grail we will defend
Soldiers of fortune, rise and join us if you dare
Upon our brazen hearts we bear, a blood red cross

We seek the sacred answer
The keys of time
The shrouded truth beneath the shrine
A kingdom bathed in glory
A world divine
That holds secrets we must find

This holy grail we will defend
Soldiers of fortune, rise and join us if you dare
Upon our brazen hearts we bear, a blood red cross


5. ON ASHEN WINGS

The time is finally upon us
The men will gather at dawn
To face our evil opponent, yeah
The undefeated dragon

Our time has come
We stand as one

On ashen wings the dragon falls
Upon these ancient castle walls
We vanquish him once and for all
Victorious we're standing tall

And as we crest on the mountain
Our foe descends from above
Flanked by an army of shields and swords
He will surrender to us

Our time has come
We stand as one

On ashen wings the dragon falls
Upon these ancient castle walls
We vanquish him once and for all
Victorious we're standing tall

By fighting fire with fire
The battles finally won

A noble deed has been done

6. GRAVES OF THUNDER

On a windswept mountain
A place where ancient warriors are laid to rest
With a blood moon rising
They shall awaken and destroy til nothing's left

The earth is trembling
And the rain begins to fall
A cruel and vengeful fate awaits us all

From graves of thunder
The dead shall rise and walk the earth again
To rend asunder this world of evil and forsaken men

This is retribution
There's no escape for you or any other man
With these ancient powers
Bringing justice to an unforgiving land

The earth is trembling
And the rain begins to fall
A cruel and vengeful fate awaits us all

From graves of thunder
The dead shall rise and walk the earth again
To rend asunder this world of evil and forsaken men


7. GRACE AND VALOR

Onward through the fields we ride
The pounding of the drum
Lightning strikes electric skies
This conflict shall be won
Feel the fires searing heat
As men cry out in pain
We will not admit defeat
They shall not die in vain

Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done

We ride with grace and valor
Into uncharted lands
An endless quest for power
The future's in our hands

Weapons forged in ancient times
A blade to seal your fate
No more tyranny and lies
An end to fear and hate
As you draw your final breath
Your lifeless body falls
Vengeance for a thousand deaths
Contrition for them all

Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done

We ride with grace and valor
Into uncharted lands
An endless quest for power
The future's in our hands


8. NIGHT QUEEN

Let me take you to a place
To where no one should ever go
A place where evil lives
And empty shadows grow
And where a maiden on her throne
Shall lay a curse upon this world
And from her hand a wicked magic now unfurls

She's coming down
Darkness, her crown

The mistress of the shadows
Behold the coming of the night queen
And with the fall of darkness
Beware the clutches of the night queen

And as the storm clouds gather 'round
Across the sky the lightning strikes
The rains have come to wash away this empty light
There is no hope, you can't escape
No way to change the path of fate
No way to shy the evil smile upon her face

She's coming down
Darkness, her crown

The mistress of the shadows
Behold the coming of the night queen
And with the fall of darkness
Beware the clutches of the night queen

And now the sky is darker still
For she has left you here to die
To rule in death and seal the fate of all mankind
Your epitaph will be untold
The sun has set upon your grave
You're now condemned to live forever as her slave

She's coming down
Darkness, her crown

The mistress of the shadows
Behold the coming of the night queen
And with the fall of darkness
Beware the clutches of the night queen


9. THE SERPENT AND THE THRONE

Legions of godless men
Fighting until the end
When will this madness end?
Riders approaching
Armies encroaching

Born in a cold forsaken land
Will of the gods
Destined to rise and take command
Condemned to walk this world alone
Sent to destroy
The evil serpent and the throne

Look in these eyes and see
This is your destiny
I came to set you fee
Free from your sorrow
Free from tomorrow

Born in a cold forsaken land
Will of the gods
Destined to rise and take command
Condemned to walk this world alone
Sent to destroy
The evil serpent and the throne


10. HORNS HELD HIGH

We are an enigmatic breed
And Heavy Metal is what we need
Hard pounding drums and thrashing speed
Loud bass guitar and scorching leads

We see the writing on the wall
Head band forever, rise or fall

We raise our horns forever
Our hearts belong to Metal
Bleeding the blood of rebels
Our souls belong to Metal

We are defenders of the flame
Riffs burning deep within our brain
Once Heavy Metal calls your name
Your world will never be the same

A noble army standing strong
Singing a never ending song

We raise our horns forever
Our hearts belong to Metal
Bleeding the blood of rebels
Our souls belong to Metal

Another night, another show
Tell every metalhead you know
Forget your worries and your woes
It's time to bang your head let's go

Just let the music set you free
Feel the electric energy

We raise our horns forever
Our hearts belong to Metal
Bleeding the blood of rebels
Our souls belong to Metal
