Legions Of The Ender
03:30
|
|||
|
They came down thrashing from the flaming sky
With one agenda, to watch this planet die
Superior firepower from a galaxy beyond
Before you blink your eye a city will be gone
Chorus:
Running for cover, there's no place to hide
Total destruction, the end has arrived
No use in fighting, we're all gonna die
Rendered helpless by otherworldly might
Bow down slave race (x2)
The ender commanding destructive drones of doom
Raised as killing machines straight from the womb
Our ancient overlords have come to reassert
Their dominance over this planet they have burned
Chorus
Bow down before the extraterrestrial gods
Everything is dying, the planet laid to waste
A millenia of slavery awaits the human race

Risen From The Ashes
05:15
|
|||
|
We rise from the ashes and burst into flame
Stronger than ever and cleansed through the pain
The fire of passion burns on through the rain
This mighty phoenix will never be slain
Chorus:
Inferno burns bright, on through the night
Prophecy in the flames, the chosen ones await
With my brothers in arms I march ever on
Together we stand, conquering these lands
Warriors of prophecy, we will win this fight
For honor, for glory, to claim our birth right
Chorus
Solo - Torke
Solo - Bayer
Solo - Leiva

Salvation

Solo - Manuele
Consumed by my bloodlust, I have walked alone
There is no one whom I trust, and onward I roam
Ive sworn my oath in cold steel, forgotten how to feel
When I met you I remembered, this broken soul began to heal
Chorus:
In this war I rage onward, this bloody endless fight
Though I know you will be waiting in the dark of the night
You came to me a shattered soul, damaged beyond repair
Yet something dormant awakened, a love so pure and fair
The first time you've known it without corruption foul
And now I will protect you till you're no longer frail
Chorus
Chorus
In this war I rage onward, this bloody endless fight
Will you be there waiting?
In the dark of the night

Drift Away
04:16
|
|||
|
Live your life without question, an empty hollow existence
Fail to observe and analyze, examine, rationalize, justify
It's just the same thing every day, carry out your tasks like a drone
No meaning, nothing at all, I hope your structure falls
Chorus:
Now I will drift away to the place I am free
I reject this mundane existence, reality
Such pointless monotony, I prefer my fantasy
Just a speck of nothingness, life devoid of a purpose
There is no rhyme or reason, no answer to my questions
Some people just don't give a shit, content with this banality
I prefer life with meaning, a life that can't be found
So I invent it in my head and get the fuck away from here
Chorus
Solo - Manuele

Quest For Glory
04:37
|
|||
|
Ride, ride away into the night, into the glorious fight
With fire burning in our eyes and no fear that we may die
Sworn to an oath, a brotherhood that we fight for
With honor to gain but no rewards, nothing more
Selfless and righteous is the cause for which we now fight
I raise my sword up high
Chorus:
Hey! (x12)
Ride! Fight! Kill! Die! No more time to run or hide! (x2)
Now that the battle is done and victory has been won
Back home we will ride and mourn our comrades that died
Place his sword and hem beside the mound
Atop the hill, our newly conquered ground
A monument to his infinite memory
And the price of glory
Solo - Torke
Chorus
On the snowy plains of the north awaits our destiny
Long journey awaits, our fate 4,000 miles across the sea
Back to the home of the Vikings we sail as brothers in arms
And in our true home awaits a new glorious dawn
In this new land lies the key to finding ourselves
Tear ourselves free from the shackles and the fires of hell
Slaying the demons who banish the light with the power bestowed upon me
Free from them now and off to a land where I can live free
Solo - Manuele

Cryptic Prophecy
05:43
|
|||
|
Fire will rain down from the sky
Igniting the earth, leaving the land barren
Clouds of ash fill the air, the ground left completely bare
Armageddon has come
Chorus:
Unearthly fires come to scorch the Earth
As the cryptic prophecy has foretold
Now as the end draws near, human hearts are filled with fear
The stench of death fills the air, total chaos has prevailed
Solo - Manuele

Ride Into Victory
06:27
|
|||
|
Across the snowy plains, we're riding into battle
For many long hard days this path we have traveled
No gods are by our side, none are with us this night
There is no force to trust in but our own power and might
The bitter cold has taken life from many of our men
Famine and disease make death look just around the bend
And though the bitter elements have long been our plight
Into battle we will ride, we are ready for this fight
Chorus:
Now I hear the battle cries of the horde as their arrows fly
All around me men begin to die, yet still without fear I ride
Our strength of will is great and we have shown no mercy
Our foes have begged and pleaded but our hearts have proven icy
Never to forget the wrongs they have committed
All of them we slaughtered, and many were beheaded
Chorus
Now my enemies have tasted steel, and though no weakness have I revealed
Near to me I feel the reaper's breath, I shall die a glorious death
Now my enemies have tasted steel, and though no weakness have I revealed
Near to me I feel the reaper's breath, I shall die a glorious death
Now my enemies have tasted steel, and though no weakness have I revealed
Near to me I feel the reaper's breath, I shall die a glorious death
Into victory we ride with no fear that we may die
Into victory we ride, into victory we ride
Into victory we ride with no fear that we may die
Into victory we ride, into victory we ride
