1. KING LEORIC IS RASING

Red is the sun over the battlefield
Where the blood runs down in seas of grief
And among the dead stands a living giant
Just unable to know fear

Through the chest of the enemies
Flies the arrow of the king
Throats are cut by his sword
With the speech of steel he fights eternal lie
Endless truth in his heart

And as theyґre marching off to war
You'll hear them sing
No need to fear
Follow the king

King Leoric is rising
King Leoric is rising
King Leoric is rising up!!!

3. LAST WORDS

I feel the upcoming darkness
My blood is frozen, my heart is ice.
A moment to last forever
Into the unknown night.

Life `s reduced on the lowest step.
No confession could avoid a trap.
We are equal in unequal war,
Don`t ask what`s this madness for.

hese are my last words before I leave
Gone witht he sun into the night.
These are my last words before I leave
Done by a gun to force the right.

There is no sense but it is organized
You are oppressed to get adrenalized.
All the time you`re fighting `gainst your fear
You know for sure that the end is near.

I am sneaking on the darkest track
I hear a twig snap at the back
And as the bullets hit and tear my brain
The last scream comes out in pain

Refr. These are my last words before I leave
Gone witht he sun into the night.
These are my last words before I leave
Done by a gun to force the right.


4. PRAY FOR YOU

I can't look forward, look forward, into the dark
I can't look forward into where I go
I hear your voices, your screams in the dark, so deep
I can see the end, the ghosts in the ruins of you...!

I pray for you!
I pray for you!
I pray for you!
I pray for you!

I see the daylight, the daylight, is fading away...
I see the nighttime is crawling to me...!
I hear the devil, the angels, the holy choir...
I see godґs criying, his tears fall to earth on me....

I pray for you!
I pray for you!
I pray for you!

I canґt find it out, I canґt find it out
I wonґt follow you, I wonґt follow you
Where where will you go? Where where will you go?
I wonґt see you anymore...
I wonґt see you
Anymore...!!!

Gods crying out!
I pray for you!
I pray for you!
I pray for you!


5. THIRSTY MAGICIAN

I came over the eastern mountains
To this valley "Tristram" called
I went down under the chapel
Where the demons dwell
I fought the fallen ones
And killed a sukkubus
So bring your beer right over here
I need something to drink

I need something to drink

I won't go there again
But watch your village burn
If you won't hurry up
And bring some beer to me
I will not fight for you
Nor cast a single spell
For with a dry throat -ask Peppin-
It's no good to fight at all

I need something to drink.


6. BLACK HEART OF THE FORSAKEN KNIGHT

Born a thousand Years ago into this world of War
Trough the good and evil ones, both fighting for God
My Birthplace chose my side, there was no need for thinking
I was told to hold my sword high,
To spill some blood for glory

And you know, I did it well
Took the heads of a thousand
Knights who tried to end my spree
Burned their homes and killed their sons -
The only way to end this war...

With this whole world gone insane
Itґs an easy way to join the brave
Fighting, killing, murdering, slaying
It's not for honour I fight - itґs for blood...!

Turn the sky from blue to black, set the fields afire,
Dye the rivers red with blood
Just undefeatable with this thing burning in my chest
As dark as the tears from hell -
Black Heart of the forsaken Knight

Now the end of war has come,
All fools slain, all wimps surrendered
Where I go I hear them hail, their great hero of victory
What are my skills now good for?
The sword a nice decoration?
It was not my war Iґve won - it was the one of you losers...

And you know, I did it well
Took the heads of a thousand
Knights who tried to end my spree
Burned their homes and killed their sons -
The only way to end this war...

Turn the sky from blue to black, set the fields afire,
Dye, the rivers red with blood
Just undefeatable with this thing burning in my chest
As dark as the tears from hell
Black Heart of the forsaken Knight.


7. BROKEN BRIDGE

Darkness falls, a shadowґs creeping through the night
Final Call, the end of pain is reached
Fading soul, soon to find a place to hide
An evil crawl in the pale white neonlight... right!

So give me strength, teach me how to carry on
Teach us truth, Destroyer of lies
To avoid the funeral of mankind
Now itґs time to break those iron walls

So here I stand - wounds heal again
A heart of stone and stones donґt bleed

Tell me why my words are still unspoken
Why is time someone who always wins?
Tell me why the bridge of truth is broken
Although we know, the end of time begins...


8. REVENGE

I grew up in slavery, I knew whip and chain
Cruel age of mastery, best friend was the pain

I survived my childhood, last of our clan
I shoul die in different ways, alive is, what I am!

So I learned, what hate really meant
But also fight and how to defend

I am taking revenge on the battlefield
Fighting the demons of hate
Trust and believe is my only shield
Proud I will kill for my fate

And I led my army made of mothers, children, old
And we fought for our fate, just like the elder told

And I swore at my fathers grave:
I will not live and die as a slave!

I am taking revenge on the battlefield
Fighting the demons of hate
Trust and believe is my only shield
Proud I will kill for my fate.


9. ARRIVAL OF THE KING

Once the King he fought the enemies out on the fields
Every strike brought death
His hand in rage with holy steel

The King he comes and with him he
Brings wisdom, strength and majesty
The crowds they hail their glory King
And hymns of might the bards they sing...

Now the King stands on a hill as he begins to tell
"Now and ever this is true: The false will have to fall...!"

The King he comes and with him he
Brings wisdom, strength and majesty
The crowds they hail their glory King
And hymns of might the bards they sing...


10. STRANGERS IN THE PAST

Hold on, donґt look back
Invisible teardrops on my dying soul
Scream on, puke on
Another Drink, a wicked life
Your hair, your skin
I canґt remember the look in your eyes
Your touch, your voice
The pain dies in the shine of your face

Run away - Weґre Strangers in the past

Head up, work hard
nobody tell me what should I think
Play on, game on
Time goes by last Day Iґve died
Show first, show last
And tell me where is the end
No black, no white
All I feel the look of my soul

Run away - We're Strangers in the past.


11. DRAGONSHIP

Black is the sky as it reaches so high
The king -our dragon- who leads us to die
Waves they are pounding against our side
Again on the search into glory ride!

Sails to the west- from the east the wind blows
Hearts without weakness, bloodlust it grows
Wrath overcoming the minds of all men
Kill or be killed the strong only (will) stand

Black waves now punch against our side
Waiting for battle, all souls filled with pride

Hail to Valhalla - fight til Ragnarцk

Hail - the dragonships ride
To where the black clouds kiss the sky
Hail - to Odin who leads us to slay the weak
Our path to Valhalla

On the horizon the shore now is near
White rocks in sight now the aim it is clear
Down with the sails and up with your swords
Deathbringing brothers, beserks with swords

Beserks with swords

Slay - the fools who dare to fight us
They shall be punished for their weakness

Slay - the wimps who hide in their houses
Shall be punished for their weakness.


12. GODS OF HEAVY METAL

So here we are - the dawn of a new age - follow our sign
We pray to our kings - the gods of the past
Come into our time

So here we stand - to recieve godlike power
The holy guitar
So watch it rise - the Metal Empire
Foreseen by the prophets

Fall to your knees, Down to your knees
Pray to the Gods of Heavy Metal

So here we play - the songs of our gods
Their spirit in our strings
Rock and Rap - your gods so fuckin full of shit
Die by our speed

The Gods they have prepared to enter
To bring our world a golden age
To crush the heretics of metal
To lead their warriors out of the grave

They rule our minds they rule our souls
Lead our hands as we play
In our songs your holy law:
Bang your head to win the war

Listen Apostles - lead Metal into our world
In your eyes I see the fire of a true Metal Messiah...

Feel the fire - now see the light - now join our fight
Now the fools - find finally their end - in the wrath of the gods

Now the world rushes straight to destiny - A new beginning
The Metal Age - will last eternally - never to be beaten
