2. THE INVASION

Out there on the west, what's that on the horzion?
A mass of ships so grand, a fleet like I've never seen Before,
The flags I do not recognize,
These are not the colors of our friends,
They land on our shores, but come, come for much more

Rawr!

Get all able-bodied men and fit them with sword,
Pike, and shield,
We are no trained soldiers, but
I'll be damned if they take us now,
Our men are full of fear, but
I can feel their hearts are burning bright,
They'll have to cut us down,
Kill us all, if they want to win this fight,

Invasion,
Drive them back, ring the bell!
Invasion,
Drive them back, back to hell!


3. SCHWERT

Harte Schwert in meiner Hand,
Ein Schwert fur den Aufstand,
Die Türme haben sie gesehen,)
Ich werd kämpfen, werd nie flehen

Der, der, der,
Ruf kommt, kommt, kommt,
Für die Schlacht, schlacht, shlacht,
Und geh jetzt hol meine treue

Schwert!

Der Ruf kommt zum Morgenstund,
Bereit für die Jagd, wie ein Hund,
Meine Klinge hat durst für Blut,
Alles wird Asche und Schutt,

Ich Ich Ich,
Bin bereit, -reit, -reit
Für die Schlacht, Schlacht, Schalcht
Und ich nütze meine treue

Schwert!

Schwert,
In meiner Hand
Schwert,
Für den Aufstand,
Schwert,
In diesem Krieg,
Schwert
Noch nicht besiegt!

5. GREEDY BASTARDS

Hey there, long time no see,
I need a friend to sail with with me,
I have outlined a great quest,
Will you come? Please say "yes"
No man, I don't want to sail
I just want to enjoy me ale,
I am content, here to stay,
Sailing's fun, but not today,

No dude, seriously,
Sail with me on those high seas,
Then he said "why should I?"
Water's choppy, we'd just die,
'Cause tons of riches and mountains of gold
Is up for grabs is what I am told
So man, stop your hating,
Finish your drink the ship is waiting,

Come sail with me,
You'll be rich i guarantee
Come sail with me,
Food and wenches and beer will be

"Well, I am quite sold,"
We could spend it 'til we're old!"
But then our boat of wood,
Wasn't moving how it should,
Tossing around the water,
Nearly missing a group of otters,
Then the boat began to shake
I think we made a mistake,

Over a corner the river wound,
Jagged rocks all around,
Evade those as best you can,
Oh damn, we lost a man!
There seems to be no end in sight,
We can not win this fight
Now the rapids are going faster,
Wish we weren't such greedy bastards,

Come sail with me,
You'll be rich i guarantee
Come sail with me,
Food and wenches and beer will be

You sailed with me,
Sorry but we will cease to be,
You sailed with me,
Perhaps not so good is the greed!


6. FORSTFEST

Gleich nach die Sonne untergeht,
Bitte komm schnell, sei nicht so spät,
Jedes Geschopf kommt heut Nacht,
Und haben ihre Getränke mitgebracht,

Aus jeden Forsteck kommt dieses Gewimmel,
Unsere Gesäng fährt schnell zum Himmel
Wir sind die Kinder vom Wald,
Fröhlichkeit tobt überall,

Forstfest! Wir tanzen bei Mondschein!
Forstfest!, der Wein ist auch fein!
Forstfest!, bewegt sich jede Bein!
Forstfest!, ich lad dich herzlich ein!

Die Party geht noch, doch die Sonne geht auf,
Wir müssen alle Biere trinken, sauf sauf sauf!
Wir müssen raus, der Fest ist vorbei,
Die Bäume und Aesten mussen von uns frei

Und wenn du traurig bist, wie spaßig es war,
Hab keine Angst, wir machen es jedes Jahr,
An dieser Nacht sind wieder hier zu sehen,
Bis die Welt hört auf, zu drehen!

Forstfest! Wir tanzen bei Mondschein!
Forstfest!, der Wein ist auch fein!
Forstfest!, bewegt sich jede Bein!
Forstfest, wir laden euch herzlich ein!


7. BURNT THE KALKANUUT

It was time for a great big dinner,
Village cook-off, I was the winner,
Set that turkey on that grill,
Their hearts and stomachs it will fill,
But then I saw this crush of mine,
Talked with her for quite some time,
And then when I turned around,
I saw that the turkey was burnt to shit,

Oh, how shitty it did ring,
When I heard this turkey was for the king,
I wished I could turn time back,
To rid of this turkey, smoking and black,
Put some seasongings on that bird,
Hoped it didn't taste like turd,
I knew this bird I could not save,
So I just ran away,

Shit...


8. IN MY DREAMS

The battlefield, my home away from home,
Fighting by my brothers, not standing alone,
Wave after wave of sworn enemies,
An army as far as they eye can see,
They are many, but we are few
A mountain of men, those I slew
To win this fight, we have to fight all day,
I'll handle this, the warrior's way!

Fatigue sets in, I am slowing down,
Muscles are sore, there's pain all around,
Then something so sharp, a burning in my chest,
A shaft of wood, sticking out my breast,
In the midst of the clamour, something so serene,
The feathers, the prettiest things I've seen,
But all is blurry, I hear no more sounds
Stumbling, I meet the the ground

And as the life drains out from me,
Inner spirit slips into sleep,
I look to the skies and there I see,
The place I've seen in my dreams


9. SOMETIMES

Finally returning home from a lengthy campaign,
Returned to my home village and saw an old flame,
And I don't how if it's just how the sun hit her that day,
But I swear she'd gotten prettier since I'd been away,
Her laugh and her smile, oh, how my heart did sing,
And now that she's around again, my love is in full swing,
But then I was crushed and I thought I was to die
'Cause when I was away she married some other guy, hey!

Why is she married to him? He's such a prick,
He cheated on her with your best friend, so why's she still on his dick?
And I'm sorry if that was too graphically described,
But these just the things that are going through my mind,
She does understand, but I just doesn't pretend,
To be satisfied being her best friend,
I'm getting weary, my heart's beating too slow,
I'm packing my bags tonight, becauseeeee

I've got to go
I've got to go,

Don't you try and stop me, you've got to comprehend
That leaving would be easier for me in the end
Don't you try and stop me, can't you see?
I must do what's now best for me,

I've got to go,
I've got to go,

Don't (please) you try and stop me, why can't you see?,
That I'm so in love with you, completely,
She didn't try and stop me, she's leaving it behind,
Things just happen like this sometimes,


10. DER ZEICHNER

In seinem Hut ist es nicht hell,
Troztdem zeichnet er so schnell,
Er nimmt seinen Stift bei Kerzenlicht,
Und stellt die Blätter auf dem Tisch

Dann zeichnet er was unvergesslich,
Ein Ungeheur, groß und mächtig,
Der Körper und Antlitz so häßlich,
Die Krallen und Zähne einfach schreklich,

Mit Zauberei wurd es geschafft,
Die Kreatur wird zum Leben gebract,
Und als die Tag wird die Nacht,
Geht dieses Untier auf die Jagd!

Die Sonne geht nie wieder auf
In den Bäumen gibt es nur chaos
Furch und Angst sind überall
Er geht jagen nocheinmal


11. GEIST DES BERGES

Wer jetzt geht auf meinem Hügel?
Wer würde so das so sinnlos wagen?
Dieser Betreten ist echt übel,
Ich kann es doch nicht mehr ertragen,

Ich folg meinen fremden Gästen,
Zum gluck ist das Geholz dicht,
Ich spähe ihnen von den ästen,
Verlassen mein Berg werden sie nicht,

Ich bin der Geist des Berges

Hu!!

Seit Jahren, herschte ich allein,
Manchmal ist es mir zu viel,
Dann fällt mich eine Idee ein,
Meine Gäste zu verwandeln ist das Ziel,

Ich hab einen Plan für die Menschenkinde,
Ihre Körper werd ich vernicht,
Ihre Seele werd ich dann überwinde,
Und mach ich sie wie ich,

Ich bin der Geist des Berges

Zum Abendrot ist alles bereit,
Wir sind tief im Tann,
Ich blinke zum Mond, jetzt ist die Zeit
Dann fängt die Feier an,

Wir sind die Geiste des Berges


12. I DON'T WORK TOMORROW

After a long day of work I was about to go bed,
Just about to lay down my weary head,
When I heard a rampant knocking at my front door,
It was my friend from work with something to implore,
I'm am really tired, man, I can't go out tonight,
I can't be working tomorrow with tiredness to fight,
Then he told me of the best news by far,
And then we made our journey down to the bar

Hey! Don't be greedy, give me that drink,
I don't work tomorrow, or at least I think,
I work all the time, but not the next day,
Pour a round, let us drink away

Hey!

I am super drunk, we are all on the lash,
What you got to drink? Yo, give me a splash,
Now I'm feeling good, my eyes are half-closed,
Who's that over there taking off their clothes?
I flirt like crazy and think I'm super smooth,
Amazing how you feel just after little bit of booze,
Silly to think that I almost went to bed
Now I want to party until I am dead!

Hey! Don't be greedy, give me that drink,
I don't work tomorrow, or at least I think,
I work all the time, but not the next day,
Pour a round, let us drink away
