Lyrics

Dragonheart

The smell of blood - the smell of pain
Will unleash the beast in chain
Come as knight and return as king
Dragonheart the chosen one to bring
As written in the prophecies
A hard quest to the fire breeze
A new king will seize the day
Fall in battle or dragon slay
Marching across the fields
Like an army made of steel
Holding high our shields
As we engage the beast of rage
Flames in the night the dragon we fight
One by one men will fall
Flames in the night blood brothers unite
Fire from the dark in flames right from the start
Dragonheart
If you claim the land the throne
Face the creature of steel and bones
Bring back the price for the crown
Every soldier will hail and kneel down
Marching across the fields
Like an army made of steel
Holding high our shields
As we engage the beast of rage
Flames in the night the dragon we fight
One by one men will fall
Flames in the night blood brothers unite
Fire from the dark in flames right from the start
Dragonheart
Through the lands
Through the forest
I got my sword - I must be brave
Over the hills
The horizon is calling my name
I guide the flame
I fight the beast
I fight the trolls
I smash the skulls
Of the goblins that stand in my way
No wizard spell can stop me
The price is high
But glory will be mine
Marching across the fields
Like an army made of steel
Holding high our shields
As we engage the beast of rage
Flames in the night the dragon we fight
One by one men will fall
Flames in the night blood brothers unite
Fire from the dark in flames right from the start
Dragonheart
Flames in the night the dragon we fight
One by one men will fall
Flames in the night blood brothers unite
Fire from the dark in flames right from the start
Dragonheart

Bloodbath Of Knights

Straight from Jerusalem to the gates of Babylon
The crusade moves on and on
From the Danish shores of blood
To the kingdom of the king
With evil tongues we sing
They call it holy war
We have seen it all before
Unwritten pages will burn in flames
Die by the blade, die by the sword
Write them their last rites it's a bloodbath of knights
Die by the blade, die by the sword
Write them their last rites it's a nightmare
Bloodbath of knights
Been centuries of war and men have died in vain
No one can cease the pain
They wheel the bloody sword the fight goes on till dawn
And the battle still rages on
They call it holy war
We have seen it all before
Unwritten pages will burn in flames
Die by the blade, die by the sword
Write them their last rites it's a bloodbath of knights
Die by the blade, die by the sword
Write them their last rites it's a nightmare
Bloodbath of knights
Blinded in darkness by fear
Judgement of heaven is near
The fall of the gods and the holy
Prophets of doom give us mercy
They call it holy war
We have seen it all before
Unwritten pages will burn in flames
Die by the blade, die by the sword
Write them their last rites it's a bloodbath of knights
Die by the blade, die by the sword
Write them their last rites it's a nightmare
Bloodbath of knights
Bloodbath of knights

Dawn Of Victory

Standing in line at the battlefield
The march of the brothers in arms
Awaiting the sign to crush the enemies
In silence we pray for our souls
Holding the flags up high
On the signal march or die
The gods will show the way to the
Dawn of victory
Breaking their bones with hammer and steel
Dawn of victory
We fight till the end and no man will kneel
At the dawn of victory
Run down the hill, let the slaughter begin
The blood will cover the ground
Metal and steel will meet once again
The soldiers will die to the sound
Holding the flags up high
On the signal march or die
The gods will show the way to the
Dawn of victory
Breaking their bones with hammer and steel
Dawn of victory
We fight till the end and no man will kneel
At the dawn of victory
Dawn of the dead will arise in the night
We will be waiting for you at the gate
Dawn of the dead, will arise in the night
Just show your face and we will prevail with light
Holding the flags up high
On the signal march or die
The gods will show the way to the
Dawn of victory
Breaking their bones with hammer and steel
Dawn of victory
We fight till the end and no man will kneel
At the dawn of victory

Lord Of The Labyrinth

Through the ancient forest, the home of the elves
Dark magic wonders will rule the old wood
My enemies are many, but my sword will prevail
The crimson warrior on the path of doom

Strong and brave rise up from beyond
A hero’s quest the story has just begun

Riding through thunder – Through wind and through rain
Approaching the castle of judgment in vain
Only one will hold the crown and the ring
And bring the fall of the goblin king
‘Cause you know, he is the lord of the labyrinth

Face the mighty snow lord, the keeper of the cold
Ride the wings of thunder on the unicorn

Fight the slimy creatures that hide in the deep
The wizard’s spell will guide you through the bloody fields
Strong and brave rise up from beyond
A hero’s quest the story has just begun
Riding through thunder – Through wind and through rain
Approaching the castle of judgment in vain
Only one will hold the crown and the ring
And bring the fall of the goblin king
‘Cause you know, he is the lord of the labyrinth
Don’t know where to go or where to turn
Cause every where you go, your path will burn
Don’t know where to go or where to turn
Cause every where you go, your path will burn
Strong and brave rise up from beyond

A hero’s quest the story has just begun
Riding through thunder – Through wind and through rain
Approaching the castle of judgment in vain
Only one will hold the crown and the ring
And bring the fall of the goblin king
‘Cause you know, he is the lord of the labyrinth
Riding through thunder – Through wind and through rain
Approaching the castle of judgment in vain
Only one will hold the crown and the ring
And bring the fall of the goblin king
‘Cause you know, he is the lord of the labyrinth

Bridges Will Burn

Cheap tongues and we don't believe a word
By god our voices will be heard
No second chance - no afterlife
But we come from the land of miracles
White light will shine from above
Spellbind those who play it rough
A broken soul, a broken heart
Will be filled with the light of the unicorn
Ride holy knight in to metal evolution
The time has come to revolution
The chosen one will soon become
The master of the universe
And then the gods will return
The crimson king will draw the sword
From the stone for eternity
And then the gods will return
And bridges will burn
Dark path for the lost and lonely one
With dreams that shine like the sun
The deepest fear, the darkest hour
Will burn in the flames of victory
Find the grail and then you find the king
A search for the crown and the ring
A battlefield, a sea of blood
From the ashes a legend will arise
Ride holy knight in to metal evolution
The time has come to revolution
The chosen one will soon become
The master of the universe
And then the gods will return
The crimson king will draw the sword
From the stone for eternity
And then the gods will return
And bridges will burn
We came at night ready to fight
Embraced by black we came as strangers
Send from the sky, we'll never die
Bridges will burn in flames so high
We came at night ready to fight
Embraced by black we came as strangers
Send from the sky, we'll never die
Bridges will burn in flames so high
Ride holy knight in to metal evolution
The time has come to revolution
And the bridges will burn
Bridges will burn
We will burn

Follow The Sign

Just like the road that leads to nowhere
Riding the time like there is no tomorrow
Obey the voice that speaks from the inside
Through the darkness and into the light
From the shadows and the underground
From the dungeon faith is rising
The spell is broken and the curse is gone
A deadly omen back from the past
The clock is ticking - end of the hourglass
Time for justice, now it's payback
It's the calling and the gathering
Dawn of glory - no fear nation
The ghost of failure is dead and gone with the wind
Guardian angel spread your wings and fly away
Just follow the sign
Through fire and water
Follow the sign
Follow me
Like an arrow through the thunderstone
In lightning heaven just like lightning
See it coming, with the speed of sound
In the moment a free spirit
The ghost of failure is dead and gone with the wind
Guardian angel spread your wings and fly away
Just follow the sign
Through fire and water
Follow the sign
Through pain and slaughter
Metal is rising here tonight
Metal is rising you see the light
The crusade that never dies
Is been here since the dawn of time
Metal troops you can defy
The time is right here tonight
The crusade that never dies
Is been here since the dawn of time
Metal troops you can defy
The time is right here tonight
Just like the road that leads to nowhere
Riding the time like there is no tomorrow
Obey the voice that speaks from the inside
Through the darkness and into the light
And fly away
Just follow the sign
Through fire and water
Follow the sign
Through pain and slaughter
Metal is rising here tonight
Metal is rising you see the light
Metal is rising

Steel Invaders

Vengeance will be mine
Riders from hell
Black on black
The magic will never cease
The metal troops will increase
Believers of the holy flame
Fools are no part of the game
Nothing is gonna stand in our way
We fight forevermore
Until the last man will fall
Time to start the war
Raise the metal fist in the air
Brothers everywhere
Raise the metal fist in the air
Unbeliever's nightmare
Raise the metal fist in the air
Brothers everywhere
Raise the metal fist in the air
Riders from hell
Steel invaders
People try to put us down
We hold the key and the crown
The crusade will never end
To the kingdom we assent
Nothing is gonna stand in our way
We fight forevermore
Until the last man will fall
Time to start the war
Raise the metal fist in the air
Brothers everywhere
Raise the metal fist in the air
Unbeliever's nightmare
Raise the metal fist in the air
Brothers everywhere
Raise the metal fist in the air
Riders from hell
Steel invaders
Nothing is gonna stand in our way
We fight forevermore
Until the last man will fall
Time to start the war
Raise the metal fist in the air
Brothers everywhere
Raise the metal fist in the air
Unbeliever's nightmare
Raise the metal fist in the air
Brothers everywhere
Raise the metal fist in the air
Riders from hell
Steel invaders
Raise the metal fist in the air
Raise the metal fist in the air

Jackal's Eye

I'm the survivor of my clan
The fight for freedom and for the land
The battle is raging and men will bite the dust
We show no mercy in steel we trust
Lock up your sons and daughters
The time has come for slaughter
In your sleep you will see
The eye of the jackal
Like a beast in the night
The eye of the jackal
Always ready to fight
Eye of the jackal
Immortal battle cry
Eye of the jackal
The flame that never dies
In the jackal's eye
The last man standing in these bloody fields
With the sign of fury on my shield
A bite from the jackal and you scream in agony
A taste of the hammer and dead you will be
Lock up your sons and daughters
The time has come for slaughter
In your sleep you will see
The eye of the jackal
Like a beast in the night
Eye of the jackal
Always ready to fight
Eye of the jackal
Immortal battle cry
Eye of the jackal
The flame that never dies
The eye of the jackal
Like a beast in the night
Eye of the jackal
Always ready to fight
Eye of the jackal
Immortal battle cry
Eye of the jackal
The flame that never dies
In the jackal's eye

Legend Of The Magic Sword

Secret of the sea – Lady of the Lake
Brought the sword
A true king will hold the steel
It will only be owned by a pure heart
A magic spell will hold the blade
In the stone for chosen one
It was made to bring harmony
And to reunite the ancient land
You got to ride the wild wind
To the gates of Camelot
Sanctuary for those who feel lost in Avalon
Cause a king will be born
Raised in the forest
Behind the golden gates of the shiny fortress
At the table of knights, a brotherhood of light
In the legend of the Magic Sword

Merlin claimed the child
In exchange for a deed – A little magic trick
Arthur was his name
He was young, he was brave
With a righteous mind

You got to ride the wild wind
To the gates of Camelot
Sanctuary for those who feel lost in Avalon
Cause a king will be born
Raised in the forest
Behind the golden gates of the shiny fortress
At the table of knights, a brotherhood of light
In the legend of the Magic Sword
The legacy lives on and on
On a trail of magic sorcery
A thousand years in you and me
A legend of steel and Bravery
You got to ride the wild wind
To the gates of Camelot
Sanctuary for those who feel lost in Avalon

Will carry on
Cause a king will be born
Raised in the forest
Behind the golden gates of the shiny fortress
At the table of knights, a brotherhood of light
In the legend of the Magic Sword

(The Magic Sword)

In the legend of the Magic Sword

Gladiator's Path

Just wanted to be free
Born into slavery
Breaking the chains tonight
The hammer and the steel will bite
Burned down everything
And the sword will swing
Revenge is beautiful
My vengeance won't be merciful
The arena will be covered in blood
Now it's time to give all that you've got
And when they open the gate
All is at stake
The price is glorious
In rage steel will kiss
The endless battleground
Victory not in second round
No pain can hold me back
Now it's just full attack
The king will return
The chosen one will set you to burn
The arena will be covered in blood
Now it's time to give all that you've got
And when they open the gate
All is at stake
My name is Armageddon
My steel is like the venom
From the cobra that will bring you down
(Die for the gladiator)
Deep down in the dungeon
I await like a scorpion
Someday all will kneel down
The gladiator comes for you
Feel the pain when the steel goes go through
All enemies will hit the ground
He was betrayed by the general in arms
Crucified on the desert planes
Rivers of blood
The angels will cry
Here comes the man that never dies
Rise from beyond
Kill you in blind
Here comes the king
From the underground
The time has come
For the battle to start
He will tear you
Tear you apart
My name is Armageddon
My steel is like the venom
From the cobra that will bring you down
(Die for the gladiator)
Deep down in the dungeon
I await like a scorpion
Someday all will kneel down
The gladiator comes for you
Feel the pain when the steel goes go through
All enemies will hit the ground
The gladiator comes for you
Feel the pain when the steel goes go through
All enemies will hit the ground
(Feel god's wrath)
The gladiator's path

Blade Of Triumph

From the sea we attack
In the center of pain
We all fall under one flag
Never beaten nor slain
Breathe the fire of Odin
Spit the poison of death
Dive into the fire wind
Cut the belly of the beast
Lord of lightning, bringer of storm
Give us strength to carry on
To live and die without fear
Now matter how it hurts
Alliance from the north
We are brothers of Thor
The hammer and the sword
Will bring slaughter and gore
Will the battleships return
And the angels are burned
We drink the wine of gods
To the blade of triumph
We charge from the sea
Under the stars we belong
Among the gods we will be
United, standing strong
Die in the battlefield
Under Odin's command
Resurrect the ancient gods
And bring glory to our land
Lord of lightning, bringer of storm
Give us strength to carry on
To live and die without fear
Now matter how it hurts
Alliance from the north
We are brothers of Thor
The hammer and the sword
Will bring slaughter and gore
Will the battleships return
And the angels are burned
We drink the wine of gods
To the blade of triumph
We drink the blood of triumph
Defend the land and embrace the sky
The water blue and the fire from hell
Shadows of death and the angels will fly
Together we fight and break the spell
Your voice will be heard
The wings of victory
We come as one and split the sky is two
Like the eyes of a lion
And the horns of a mighty bull
Like a comet that rips the sky to pieces
With the blade of triumph
Lord of lightning, bringer of storm
Give us strength to carry on
To live and die without fear
Now matter how it hurts
Alliance from the north
We are brothers of Thor
The hammer and the sword
Will bring slaughter and gore
Will the battleships return
And the angels are burned
We drink the wine of gods
Alliance from the north
We are brothers of Thor
The hammer and the sword
Will bring slaughter and gore
Will the battleships return
And the angels are burned
We drink the wine of gods
To the blade of triumph
Our quest has just begun
Children of the sun
It has just begun
