Immortal
05:08
|
|||
On the road in this broken flesh
Immortal soul fighting to the death
Waves of steel flash before my eyes
Born to be king, I will never die
The sun brings a new day
Will the light be my end?
The bodies fall at the end of my blade
Their blood finds a new path
And its river leads the way
To a desert fortress
Deserted at first sight
Long dead pillars of stone?
Or just scars from endless night?
A vision rises in the distance
A city long forgotten
On through the gate
Lies a palace of jade
In the shadowed entrance
All is silent in these darkened halls
As I stare into a faded memory
Immortal soul, a titan on land and seas
Waves of steel alive in my mind
Born to be king, I will never die
A vision rises in the distance
A city long forgotten
On through the gate
Lies a palace of jade
Within these walls
I will be immortal!

Beyond The North Wind
04:01
|
|||
Coming after the sinking of Atlantis
Before the dawn of current man
In the lands to the far north
Comes a child battle born
Fight with fire
Fight with raging steel
Beyond the north wind
In the lands of Cimmeria
So begins the tale of a warrior
Blackened eyes and deathly cold stare
A wandering lust through the ancient empire
From the shores of Kush, across the western sea
Fight with fire
Fight with raging steel
Beyond the north wind
We will stand
Fight for your life
Fight with raging steel
Beyond the north wind
In the land of Hyborea

Priest Of Stygia
05:30
|
|||
On the shores of the river Styx
The desert wind blows fierce
In this land forgotten lies echo in the tombs
A dark priest emerges from the stone
Preaching the word of set
On a cloudless night he burns his word upon the earth
They speak of him in whispers
Protector of the black ring
Worshiping the god of storms
A life born in destitution
Abuse and greed
Now holds the power of Acheron
Priest of Stygia
A silhouette in the moonlight
Being tested by the serpent god
A vision in the night
Using power stolen
from a long lost kingdom
On the steps of this crumbled tomb
A serpent rises
One last breath from a priest at his very end
The blade cuts deep and sends him to the after world
On a cloudless night he spills his blood upon the earth

Island Of The King
06:09
|
|||
A name whispered on the wind
A legend that can’t be lies
A king for the ages
A lost leader hiding
Our wake it leads the journey
Across this barren sea
A journey for the future
Of a fading mankind
An isolated land, an island of no return
Does our future lie here? … on the Island of the king
The structure rises above
A vast dark sea of clouds
A silent foreboding
But none will ever turn around
A single chance to survive
From a legend we have heard
Our throne awaits a king
And time it is our enemy
A shadow rises
As we approach the throne
And a mighty king he stares
As we kneel with blood and bone
Everything we have is yours
Every man willingly
On this eve of extinction
We come to this island across the sea

Burn Another Liar
04:58
|
|||
All the endless lies
From a lifetime of a sin
A demon in human form
Where does the human begin?
The road to hate and greed
Laid with the bones of the dead
A path born from corruption
We’ll light the books of history
And burn another liar again
On the eve of our destruction
We dance to our epitaph
A toast to our wealth
As the cities start to burn
The road to hate and greed
Laid with the souls of the living
The path bleeds from corruption
We’ll light the books of history
And burn another liar again

Nine Worlds
05:12
|
|||
I remember the giants of old,
Who gave me life in the days gone by
Nine worlds I knew, now the seasons have changed
They stood mighty beneath the sky
I recall being reared by Jotuns
in those days now long gone.
If I look back, I recall A life now lost
A memory still sings their song
Of the runes of gods and giants
The truth indeed I tell
To nine worlds I came, to lie beneath
The home where dead men dwell
I can tell you the truth, the secrets of the earth
and all the gods long gone…
Hear my tale, you’ll know it well
I remember the giants of old,
Because I've journeyed well
into the nine worlds yet so much has changed
To the point of no return

Every Man My Enemy
04:05
|
|||
A ravaged land I emerge to
Surrounded by sounds of war
A blood-stained sand all around
Flesh of man ripped and torn
A beach filled with the enemy
I throw my hands in the air
Now I’m a prisoner of war
I now face the enemy’s stare
As we rot in this cell
I can’t accept this fate
We’ll somehow find a way
Thoughts of vengeance my only escape
Born a soldier
A heart of steel
A darkness reflecting in my eyes
A harsh reality
I’ll die a soldier
On land or sea
I’ll fight until the death
Every man my enemy

This life of mine, born out of shadowed hills
Through clouds, the winds and ghosts that hide the sun
Alone against the savage hordes
The blade, the blood, the battle
And now comes death, but here we stand
And here we die
The sun rarely shines on
These slopes of somber hills
And the lone wind that whispers
Down these shadowed passes
Brings the sound of enemies
Their blood will stain these lands
On hallowed ground, this sacred earth
We make our stand
A starving moon fills the night
And gleams off the snow
She suddenly appears before me
A vision from years ago
All at once they attack
These warriors from a strange land
But we stand with a heart of steel
On the mountains of our fathers
Alone against the savage hordes
The blade, the blood, the battle
And now comes death, but here we stand
And here they die!
Alone against the savage hordes
