(Instrumental)


2. SHIELD WALL

Wiseman, cast the runes, tell me what the spirits say
My legend forever grows, for every man I slay
Form the dragon scales
Let the strongest lead
Shoulder to shoulder moving forward
Heroes blood we bleed
Here we stand my brothers
Side by side to the end
For those who survived this day
And for those to Valhalla we send
The fog rolls down on the fields, your prayers are cursed
Face your day of reckoning, for your blood we thirst
Bone on bone, steel on flesh, welcome to the killing fields
My sword is covered in crimson red

Take my place shall I fall
Stand your ground in the shield wall
In battle there is just one law
Stand your ground in the shield wall
Cattle die, kinsmen die
But the fame of the warrior's deeds
Will live forever!


3. CONQUEST OR DEATH

Arise ye spirits, arise and guide us once more
Against the hordes of the east we wage unholy war!
The gates have opened to the mighty west
Sharpen your swords, forged for the deadly quest
Raise the banner, unite the lords
Prepare for battle against the Ottoman hordes
The fight goes on against the deadliest siege
The west in flames, from everywhere it bleeds
Crusader to arms, lest we forget
Against the sword of Allah it's conquest or death!
Don your armor and shine your shields
Saracen heads litter battlefields
Our fortresses hold, the invasion stops here
Be it by sword or the tips of your spears
Upon this sand I draw the line
Meet your maker
This kingdom of blood and glory is mine
Meet your maker
Our catapults will pelt you with stone
Meet your maker
Roads will be paved over your bones
Meet your maker!
Unsheath your swords, charge into them, let there be blood
Not one steps backwards
Leave them to rot, facedown in the mud


4. 1863

Awaiting the sign, tensions start to mount
The siege is underway
Medics on alert, prepare for bodycount
The titans clash today
Fire away!
Sappers underground, explosives in the dark
Fortifications on the line
Counter and exterminate, before they light the spark
Combat in the mines
The king leads the charge, the hussars advance
Driving through them all
The sultan's men crumble under heavy lance
Slaughtered where they fall
300 years of occupation are coming to a close
Broken are the chains of slavery, the ramparts hold
Back to where they came from they are sent
Heads lie on pikes, the message given
"Go home and never turn back!"
Barbarians at the gate, looking to get in
The arrows eclipse the sky
Cannonballs away, ripping through their flanks
The rivers run red on the Danubes banks
No more liberties, no more slavery, their world has come undone
The pain and wrath of 300 years
Will be carried out by the kingdom's sons


5. SLAY THEM IN MY PRESENCE

Put them to the sword, drive them through the heart
Heads are gonna' roll, in pieces they will depart
This is our inquisition, TERMINATE AND DESTROY
Letting loose all our fury, harbingers of death deployed

Slay them in my presence
Let them drown in blood
Not an ounce of mercy given
Put them to the rack

March them in chains through the city streets
Let them be spat upon, let them be beat
Burn them at the stake, let them feel the pain
Into ashes they shall wither, into a sea of flames

Slay them in my presence
Cast them to the pits
Let them eternally rot
In their bile and shit

Slay them...
Slay them in my presence!


6. TUNNEL RAT

Choking in earth, my lungs filled with wormed soil
Waiting to exhale, I'm a deadly machine well and oiled
Crawling like a snake, slithering towards the light
Darkness and solitude
Embrace my fear into the night
Claustrophobic... pungy sticks...
So many traps... I know every trick
Pythons... sweltering heat
Crawling on with kabar in my teeth
My throat is so parched from the tropical heat
My face is blackened by dirt, blisters cover my feet
Bitten so many times I've probably become immune
Between dysentry and malaria, death can't come too soon
I am the tunnel rat, these tunnels are mine!
Pitch black tunnels, never knowing what I'll find
Enemies encountered died without a sound
I am the tunnel rat, these tunnels are mine!
Silent and deadly amongst the rubble
Behind enemy lines, no law exists
Gotta crawl quick... walls start to cave
Make my way back
Before this tunnel becomes my grave


7. FIRE IN THE HOLE

Machine gun fire locks us down
Hammered by mortar rounds
Space closing in, quarters are tight
Pineapple will be served tonight
A trophy of ears adorns my neck for the platoon to admire
Trying to snuff me out, some have tried, but their time on this earth expired
Pull the pin and let her fly
Its you or them, do or die
Unleash Hell, let it thunder
Grab your nuts, and run for cover
FIRE IN THE HOLE
Shrapnel rains, bloody wounds
Steel fragments shall encase your tomb
My arm is strong, my aim is steady
The reaper smiles for I've sent him many
I can smell fear in the air, I can hear every breath
One good flick of the wrist, leads to a certain death
Plug your ears quickly, you know it's gonna be loud
Steel, flesh and body parts fertilize the ground
Fire in the hole


8. FURORE TEUTONICUS

The winds of pestilence blow your way
A feast for crows, in thousands they would lay
Nailed to trees, left to rot
Once food for the gods, served fresh and hot
Into the dark forest went Varus and his legion
The barbarians lie in wait for hunting season
The mighty legion, to conquer they were bred
Now they march into the unknown
The forest of the dead
In the forest of darkness they await
To rain arrows, spears, to pierce armor plate
Well hidden in the shadows, the shadows of scorn
Blades sharp, arrows quilled, faces painted for war
Down they charged raining arrow and spear
Trapping the legion like wounded deer
Trails of blood covered the killing fields
Penetrated armor, and broken shields
The gods will feast tonight
The slaughter complete, a legion no more
A pagan sacrifice to the gods of war
Altars bloodstained, a sea of crimson red
After a days calling, a legion lies dead
