Ironflame : Lightning Strikes the Crown

Lyrics


1. FIRESTORM

Do you recall so long ago on that terrible night?
He came from the mountains as legends foretold, to show us his might
A bellow of thunder erupts from his lungs with a deafening sound
He’s come to relieve our almighty king of his glorious crown

So hungry for riches, so thirsty for gold
His greed knows no boundaries, his conscience is cold
The sky turns to darkness as his wings unfold

There’s nowhere to run when the dragon arrives
His fiery breath raining down from the skies
He’s come for us all and no one will survive
So gather your children and run for your lives

No one could foresee the tantrum of rage he’d unleash on us all
The smoke and the flames billowing out of our once hallowed halls
With effortless grace he breaks through the castle’s impregnable walls
Our fate is sealed, against his great power we’re destined to fall


2. MARCHING ON

The dawn has arrived, the winds blowing cold
We’re carving a pathway deep into the snow
Our glory awaits, we’ve taken the throne
May the joy of this victory carry us home

A glimmer of hope is what’s kept us alive
Over every mountain, across the divide
We answer the call and defend what is right
We’ll never die, no!
For we are the strong and the strong will survive

We’re marching, we’re marching on

Our hearts are ablaze with honor and pride
Our banners ascending aloft in the sky
With the gods on our side, the battle is won
They will sing of our courage for ages to come


3. THE GORGON

Cursed to wear a crown of serpents on her head
Upon her face belies a mask of living death
You’ve been sent upon a quest to take her life
But beware, don’t ever look into her eyes

Get ready to fight!
She’s coming, and there’s no escape
From the gaze of the Gorgon’s eyes

Such a cruel disguise
Look of death in her eyes
Bringing your demise
When Medusa comes to claim her prize

In her lair, now forsaken and alone
Icy stare, turning mortal men to stone
Lie in wait, casting shadows on the wall
It’s your fate to take your head after she falls

Cursed by the gods to haunt this ancient place
No mortal man shall live to see her face


4. HEAVY METAL WARRIORS

Tonight’s the night, it’s time for the show
Prepare for the metal attack
Gather the armies, it’s time to go
Our soldiers are all dressed in black

In the name of metal
We would lay down our lives

From far and wide we hear the call
For heavy metal claims us all
We stand together rise or fall
And though the battle rages on
The name of metal makes us strong
And we’ll forever sing our song

We shall be the ones victorious
For we are heavy metal warriors
See our metal shine so glorious
For we are heavy metal warriors

In the streets, we’ve come for a fight
You’re trapped and there is no way out
In denim and leather, we’re taking the night
Let me hear you stand up and shout

Your town lays in waste, our wheels hit the road
We now leave your city to burn
Onto the next one, again we must go
Just pray that we never return

In the name of metal
We would lay down our lives


5. ETERNAL NIGHT

Let the twilight come and set us free
From our sunken crypts we rise to feed
With the gift of immortality
And the power of ancient majesty

Blood, sweet blood
Coarsing through you veins, we need your
Blood, sweet blood
Forever more, we are the ...

Children of eternal night
Our world forever draped in black
Like a raven we take flight
From here there is no turning back

Let the nightfall rise and call our name
With a hunger like an endless flame
In our thirst for blood, we have no shame
You’re a helpless pawn in our endgame

Blood, sweet blood
Flowing from your veins, we need your
Blood, sweet blood
Forever more, we are the ...

Let the darkness break these chains that bind
Let the sunset be our time to shine
In this life nocturnal, so sublime
In the shadows till the end of time

Blood, sweet blood
Calling out your name, we need your
Blood, sweet blood
Forever more, we are the ...


6. FALLEN GLORY

Tonight we gather once again
Under moonlit skies
To hail our brethren one and all
Those who gave their lives

We'll never see your face again
But we won’t forget you my old friend

Here’s to the fallen
The ones who gave it all
Answered the calling
You’re bathed in glory, standing tall

So many battles lost and won
Marching on through time
Your bravery won’t be left unsung
We raise our swords on high


7. WHAT WE'VE SOWN

So far away, deep within our minds
Led us astray, from what we keep inside
Night conquers day, light fades away
Lost all control, wandering through the night
All that we’ve feared, finally come to light
Night conquers day, light fades way

Soon we will see what we’ve done
Done to ourselves and the ones we love
Things that cannot be undone
It’s our mistake, now we’re reaping what we’ve sown

We’re on our own
There’ll be no forgiveness now

This is the end of our fragile time
She will defend herself against mankind


8. SHADOW QUEEN

Deep within these castle walls
There is a shadow stalking me
And like a veil it blinds my eyes
Now I can't see
And I can hear her siren’s call
And once again she calls my name
And I’m entranced just like a moth
Drawn to the flame

There’s no escape from her embrace
You’re in her sights and now
You know it’s far too late
She’s the shadow queen

You’ve been a fool to come this far
You’ll never make it out alive
There ain’t no chance you’ll
Ever live to see the light
You better turn back while you can
I’ll never see your face again
Her empty touch will bring
No solace in the end

There’s no escape from her embrace
You’re in her sights and now
You know it’s far too late
She’s the shadow queen


9. KINGDOM COME

Priests of sin proclaim the ancient lies
Strangling you with guilt and fear inside
Feel its poison infiltrate your mind
A slave of hatred til the end of time

Don't give up, don't give in, no!

We've just begun, our kingdom come
We serve no one, our will be done
Trap the children now before they see
Only they control their destiny
Kill their hopes and ideologies
Blind their eye with their hypocrisy


Don't give up, don't give in, no!

We've just begun, our kingdom come
We serve no one, our will be done

Those who try to take your soul, away
Replace it with a mask of misery
Never let them steal away your light
Unleash your inner fire burning bright


10. FIGHTING ONWARD

We hear the great Allfather's call
To seek new lands and rule them all
Our enemies will surely fall
Marching to Valhalla's hall
From where the restless ravens fly
To where the ancient mountains rise
We sing our songs of joy and pride
May our spirit never die

With sword in hand
We're fighting onward
Taking the land
With pride and honor

Sailing across the stormy sea
Our endless quest is to be free
More valiant men there will never be
We shall claim our victory

And soon our judgement day will come
Surrounded by the chosen ones
Into the valley of the Sun
Every father, every son

With sword in hand
We're fighting onward
Taking the land
With pride and honor
