1. Ancestral
I sing of an age forgotten
Heroes' tales and wars divine
of the dreams now dead and rotten
of the youth of human kind
For the nine Muses immortal
for Apollo and for Mars
I sing not of what is mortal
but of what forever lasts!
2. Sacred Vengeance
After years of silent sorrow
warriors from the past return
in a world with no tomorrow
once again the fire burns
Ancient battlecries resounding
High above the cries of slaves
Now Vulcanus's hammer's pounding
crafting mighty warrior's blades
All across the Sea
Neptune’s waves we ride,
Chariots ride again
From Olympus’ Heights
Our armies are assembled
Gods of Sun will grant us light
Enemies now shake and tremble
Wotan's spear is casting fright
Walk the path that you were dreaming
Know the ancient mysteries
Laugh and sing, there's no escaping
on the road to destiny!
Wargods now I pray
Bless my sword of doom
Listen what I say
Or the Hell with you!
Sacred Vengeance lead us on our way,
for the warriors of a timeless world
Heavy Metal Warlords rise again
Rerent, fear or mercy we want show!
Poets of war again will lead you
Through the maze within your mind
Through their lyre gods reveal you
what alone you'd never find
Even if your triumph's stolen
and if Fate denies your prize
Rest assured and never falter,
Titan's flame still burns inside
Sacred Vengeance lead us on our way,
for the warriors of a timeless world
Heavy Metal Warlords rise again
Rerent, fear or mercy we want show!
Sacred Vengeance lead us on our way,
for the warriors of a timeless world
Heavy Metal Warlords rise again
Rerent, fear or mercy we want show!
3. Messenger of Chaos
Lonely wolf roaming the kingdoms
of a hopeless world
He's the sorcerer who once sat
on the ruby throne
The last King of Melnibone,
destroyer of his land
Cursed bearer of the black sword
trembling in his hands...
Elric of Melnibone,
Messenger of Chaos!
Crimson eyes like embers burning on
his snow-pale skin
Silky hair of ivory, no sign of
his glorious kin
Born too weak and human to be King of
his own land
But no one can stop him
when the sword sings in his hands...
Elric of Melnibone,
Messenger of Chaos!
Elric of Melnibone,
Messenger of Chaos!
There is nothing more to do
when the Fate's Horn resounds
Ancient dragons spread their wings
and fly above the ground
Lords of Light return to battle,
Chaos forces stand
None shall live except the black sword
laughing in his hands...
Elric of Melnibone,
Messenger of Chaos!
Elric of Melnibone,
Messenger of Chaos!
4. Cimmerian Steel
By the ashes of the death
An ancient power will return
Lord of sorceries comes to me
Bring our arms to victory
Help us to redeem our kingdoms
Let us claim what's our by right
Thousand years have passed by now
Time has come to fight and win
Lost in ices of Cimmeria
A lonely heart can shiver and fall
Only one hero found the force
To brandish steel and face the world
Once he was a common tramp
Born to wander, kill and flee
Pride and courage brought his worth
From the forest to the throne
Through wild lands I've rode
A thousand wars I've fought
The one against the spell
Is the hardest fight
But not enough to tame
My barbarous heart
Now great Crom
Hear my last prayer
The Hour of the Dragon
Hangs over us all
Now great Crom
Give me the power
Make me strong
As it was my father's steel
Oh great Crom
Hear this battlecry,
Courage means living
In a shattered, lost world
Oh great Crom
Look at this sword
The blood on the steel
Is the sign of my glory
Through wild lands I've rode
A thousand wars I've fought
The one against the spell
Is the hardest fight
But not enough to tame
My barbarous heart
5. Under the Black Stars
Come from the past
The tales of disgrace
The tales of humanity's fall
Dark Revelations
And ominous words
The Menace of Evil is clear
Warlords of Doom,
Avengers Divine,
A myriad shadows align
Black Gods of Evil,
And Prophets of Death
Against our life they conspire
Vengeance Divine
Black Stars Align
The dark ways of old
Were not fairytales
But uttermost keys to our Fate
Wisdom too ancient
To be just a lie
But we understood it too late...
Ships made of nails
Will ever appear
On the dead waves of the sea?
And will the Titans
Ever break free
From their Tartarean chains?
Vengeance Divine
Black Stars Align
Sealed is our Fate
Man Falls Today
6. Swordance
7. March of the Hoplite
Marching onto war under
the lukewarm summer's rain
Flutes and drums lead us to fight
Slaves carry (the) panoplies,
commanders choose the way
We hide the fear and wait the sign
We, shall we pay the price for freedom
with our blood and with life?
Free men we were born, and holding
the spear we will die!
All my brothers they are here,
here among the ranks
the bonds of blood stronger than death
For our families and for our land we fight
they cannot take what's ours by right
We, shall we pay the price for freedom
in this gory end?
Free men we were born and we will die
with sword in hand!
As I stand waiting for them
I cannot hold a tear
on my lips it burns away
the shadow my fear
I mourn my life
I close my eyes
I will miss sunlight...
To my master Ares
servant I will be
In the eyes of Thanatos
I’ll laugh and spit
But still, this fray
I only prey
Not to be my last!
Rushing towards
The round shields' wall
The final clash is drawing near!
Knees bent in dust
Bones broken fast
Will be the only sound to hear!
Shame falls upon
the coward sons
that shieldless dare to return home!
And when the wounds
Rip through your back
You’ll die the shameful coward's death!
So this great battle once again
is coming to an end
I wash away blood from my hands
The duty of my kind is once again fulfilled
By those who died as those who killed...
We shall we pay the price for freedom
with our blood and with life?
Free men we were born,
and holding the spear we will die!
8. Imperial Dream
"Tu regere imperio populos, Romane,
memento hae tibi erunt artes
pacique imponere morem, parcere
subiectis et debellare superbos..."
Breed of Mars and Venus,
legacy of Trojan heroes
We are rising once again out
of the night
Destiny of conquest prophesised to our ancestor
In the halls of Hades, by his father's soul
Legions are marching
Through the world to win and purify
(Stand with pride!)
Imperium rising
Conquerors upon the edge of time
United Italia and conquered all Hispania,
Carthago once so proud now turned to ash
Illyrians and Gauls did fell,
Macedon and Syria as well
Even Egypt falls before our dream!
Legions are marching
Through the world to win and purify
Imperium rising
Conquerors upon the edge of time
All the people conquered now look
to the sky and wonder
As the eagle spreads his wings
and shows the way
Seal upon the ancient world,
fulfilled destiny of Rome,
Our Imperial Dream is here to stay...
Legions are marching
Through the world to win and purify
(Stand with pride!)
Imperium rising
Conquerors upon the edge of time
9. Thirst for Glory
Fighting over ancient ruins
Of a fallen brith empire
Men did not forget the art
Of honour and war...
Hearts were born in allegiance
Roam the world in search of glory
Crossing swoeds with crown betrayer
And dying by their code...
Thirst for glory, thirst for blood
Lead me to my final fight
Thirst for blood, thirst for glory
I’ll descend proud to hell
Knights of the scred oreders
Blinded by the dreams of Heaven
Marching to the Holy Land
With swords in their hands...
Steel shines out to sunset light
Spiked mace slays infidels
On the ground that day has flown
True warrior’s blood..
Thirst for glory, thirst for blood
Lead me to my final fight
Thirst for blood, thirst for glory
I’ll descend proud to hell
Legends tell about their valor
History shakes by their name
Roaming nights without an aim
Sworn to die in pride..
Small lost souls driven mad
To find a place in a Sadic world
Heroes have one only fera
To die in the dark...
Thirst for glory, thirst for blood
Lead me to my final fight
Thirst for blood, thirst for glory
I’ll descend proud to hell
10. Legions of the Underworld
Long ago they stalked the earth
Worshipped by all men as Gods
Black idols of the destruction
Their names the sound of doom
Gods of death and slaughterlords
Human sacrifices to
Please their greed and lust for blood
And preserve humanity
Legions of the Underworld
Are reborn to slay us all...
Now the ways of Gods and Men
Are as distant as the stars
Mysteries and legends die
And the ancient idols fall
But the timeless Evil lies
Sleeping, waiting for revenge
Legions under their command
Will attack just by their sign
Legions of the Underworld
Are reborn to slay us all...
Prepare to die humanity
Now given is the sign
Up from the sea, down from the sky
Our legions ride, our legions ride!
Legions of the Underworld
Are reborn to slay us all...
Soon the battle turns to carnage
Our defences falling down...
Blessed the swords by sorcery
Kiss our flesh and drink our blood
Thousands die by spells of death
Cast by lifeless sorcerers
And the Ancient Ones rejoice
Their triumph is complete!
Legions of the Underworld
Are reborn to slay us all...
