- Lyrics -
The Final Crusade
Commanded to fight
And defend the light
Against the unknown
We stand alone
Some will die
And some will cry
We will return
Prevent or burn
Stranding strong
One for all
Hail to the brothers
And the glory of the sword
The battle has begun
The troops of the sun
Will fight for the pride
Side by side
The burning pain
We will enchain
The brothers of war
Will strike forevermore
Stranding strong
One for all
Hail to the brothers
And the glory of the sword
The final crusade
The gathering of steel
The final crusade
Surrender or kneel
The final crusade
The rise and the fall
The final crusade
Once and for all
When Heroes Fall
When the men fall to the ground
Their rebel parts begin to pound
The brothers of the ancient clan
Servants of sacred land
At dusk they will raise their swords
To honour the fallen ones
They will drink around the fire
In the forest of immortality
Their freedom has been taken away
But they will never ever obey
The king of many lies
Is the devil in disguise
At dusk they will raise their swords
To honour the fallen ones
They will drink around the fire
In the forest of immortality
When heroes fall
Their fight won't be lost forever
When heroes fall
Their spirits will live on and on
When heroes fall
It's the rise chosen one
When heroes fall
The wind will blow
When you hear the holy call
Sorrow will strike the king
He will die before the spring
His castle will be burned
Death is what he has earned
When they return from the field
All their wounds will be healed
Revenge has been fulfilled
Battalions of evil they have killed
When heroes fall
Their fight won't be lost forever
When heroes fall
Their spirits will live on and on
When heroes fall
It's the rise chosen one
When heroes fall
The wind will blow
When you hear the holy call
Rise Of The Rainbow
I have seen the magic light
Shining down on me
I have heard the demon cry
And the burning witches die
Thoughts of darkness, let me out
Cause I am on the edge
Am I lost or alive
Without hope to survive
Holy Dragon fly with me
To the sky across the sea
Guard of Glory, set me free
And break the prophecy
Just to see
Rise of the rainbow
Rise of my souls
Will the sun ever rise again
And stop this evil dream
Oh, Master, heal my sword
I will only serve the Lord
Give me strength to carry on
And fight this twisted world
Born to rise, born to burn
In fire I will return
Holy Dragon fly with me
To the sky across the sea
Guard of Glory, set me free
And break the prophecy
Just to see
Rise of the rainbow
Rise of my souls
Rise of the rainbow
Rise of my souls
The rise of RocknRoll
Metal Victory
As brothers we will unite
And fight for the might
We are like sent from hell
Born to ring the bell
Of glory and faith
Before its too late
Prepare to fight in war
Under the thunder roar
The troops of steel
Have heard the call
The power of metal
Will never die
Will reach for the sky
In glory we die
On a quest of eternal pride
Into battle we ride
Fight proudly forevermore
And serve the metal law
The endless crusade
Will strike with fire and hate
The troops of steel
Have heard the call
The power of metal
Will never die
We will fight for victory
And defend the holy light
Brothers of true metal ride
Into the night
The time has come
For us to fight
Mighty sword be our guide
Hail to the power of
Metal Victory
Thunderstorm
In times of darkness
In times of war
The warriors will ride like never before
In search to conquer
The unholy light
The sound of thunder
Will bring us to fight
Black horse ride for me
Into the sky
I will fight until
The day that I die
Thunderstorm
Blows in my mind
The magic spell that
Makes me blind
Thunder storm
One of a kind
The legend that
Wont leave us behind
We are fighting the dragon
With fire and steel
Only in blood and pain
The beast will kneel
In death or glory
Immortal we stand
So we will defend
Our holy Land
Black horse ride for me
Into the sky
I will fight until
The day that I die
Thunderstorm
Blows in my mind
The magic spell that
Makes me blind
Thunderstorm
One of a kind
The legend that
Won't leave us behind
Behind The Mirror
Look at them fight
With magic at night
The wizards from the past
Look at them burn
Look at them die
With fire in their eyes
Follow the winds of fire
Deep down to Hell
The dream of flying higher
And find the secret bell
Where have they gone
The creatures of might
The Dark Lord has taken their souls
Will they still burn
Or will they return
With fire in their eyes
Follow the winds of fire
Deep down to Hell
The dream of flying higher
And find the secret bell
Behind the mirror
Is another world
Behind the mirror
Its a distant dream
Welcome to the world
Behind the mirror
Look at the night
Open your eyes
The mirror has taken your soul
Is there still hope
Is there still life
Behind your burning eyes
Follow the winds of fire
Deep down to Hell
The dream of flying higher
And find the secret bell
Behind the mirror
Is another world
Behind the mirror
Its a distant dream
Welcome to the world
Behind the mirror
Warriors Of Steel
Riding through places where eagles fly
Through the valleys seeking for our destiny
The path of glory lies across the northern sky
Into the kingdom of the evil majesty
Lord of Darkness be prepared for war
On a holy quest we will ride
And strike with power and might
Hunting for revenge and the stolen treasures
And the holy steel that lies beyond the ancient sky
Of the enchanted hills where the dragons fly
Fight eternally for the mighty warriors of steel
On a trail of blood the castle will appear
The land of chaos will taste our steel
The time has come where justice is near
We will conquer, fight and reveal
Lord of Darkness be prepared for war
On a holy quest we will ride
And strike with power and might
Hunting for revenge and the stolen treasures
And the holy steel that lies beyond the ancient sky
Of the enchanted hills where the dragons fly
Fight eternally for the mighty warriors of steel
Battle Of Freedom
Hear the drums pound
Hear the bell toll
The fallen one burns in the sky
A journey so long
To somewhere beyond
The Dark Lord is calling your name
Into Battle you ride
To set your spirit free
And if you die
A legend you will be
Unchain your spirit
Fly with the wind
To the master you are ascended
Out of the dark
And into the sky
Your soul will be set free
Into Battle you ride
To set your spirit free
And if you die
A legend you will be
Ride, ride with me
To the fields of eternity
Ride, ride with me
To a place where we'll be free
And let the battle begin
And we will be free
Behind the shadows
Is a place called divine
It's our destiny
Only one sun will shine
When we are gathered tonight
We're all destined to be
Legends of the holy light
And together well be free

Angel Of Light
I am lying here with tears in my eyes
I guess it's time to say goodbye
Do you remember all the love that we had
But now it's lost and gone
I keep a candle burning
Deep in my heart
But I am still learning
That we are so far apart
Angel of Light
Shining so bright
I just want to hold you closely
And feel your love tonight
Angel of Light
Shining so bright
I am so lonely, Baby
Lonely in the night
Rainy days, lonely nights without you
Now I'm just lost in my misery
I'm left with my broken heart
With no strength to carry on
All the memories I just can't forget
I keep a candle burning
Deep in my heart
But I am still learning
That we are so far apart
Angel of Light
Shining so bright
I just want to hold you closely
And feel your love tonight
Angel of Light
Shining so bright
I am so lonely, Baby
Lonely in the night
Until The End
Riding through the ashes
Of many broken swords
Lord of thunder
Take them higher
The resurrection of the evil majesty
Flying on winds of fire
Through the holy land
With danger in the eyes
To the gates of hell
To the devil in disguise
Ride into the sky
Where the eagles fly
Cause I will never die
Break down and cry
Yes I will prevent
From heaven Ill descend
And I will defend
Never repent
Ill fight until the end
The scream from the darkness
still goes on and on
It nearly drives me insane
Shadow of the black moon
Appears in the sky
The fear is running through my veins
Through the holy land
With danger in the eyes
To the gates of hell
To the devil in disguise
Ride into the sky
Where the eagles fly
Cause I will never die
Break down and cry
Yes I will prevent
From heaven Ill descend
And I will defend
Never repent
Ill fight until the end
Riding Free
Flying free as the wind
Like an eagle in the sky
No rules will ever hold me down
My soul will never fall
Destiny wont you hear my call
The chosen one, who is born to wear the crown
Riding fast through the night
I am the keeper of eternal light
Holy blood is in my veins
Independence I will gain
Cause I will ride over the rainbow
Into the promised land
Ride through the fire
In search for victory
I will ride across the rivers
Which flow with holy blood
Ride and never surrender
I am riding free with the wind
Free will take its toll
And I will conquer all
Facing evil to cease all slavery
Fighting all the demons
which infiltrate the world
Breaking the chains of pain and tyranny
Riding fast through the night
I am the keeper of eternal light
Holy blood is in my veins
Independence I will gain
Cause I will ride over the rainbow
Into the promised land
Ride through the fire
In search for victory
I will ride across the rivers
Which flow with holy blood
Ride and never surrender
I am riding free with the wind
