1. At Dawn You Die
Fighting and killing is all that I know
Monsters and men dying in rows
All I can see is dark prophecy
Maddening darkness fills my destiny
Black broken bodies all burned to the core
Satan’s rule passing dark magic galore
The clock ticks slowly time passes by
Swords fall swiftly ending your life
As you burn in flames
Death calls out your name
Into hell you ride
At dawn you die
Tortured to death beyond recognition
Mercy to the weak has no definition
Lost in the shadows, hours before the sun
The end is near your soul is on the run
High priest of hell screaming with fury
Lord of the underworld calls out your name
Chariot driven nightmares ride side by side
Taking your life is just a game
As you burn in flames
Death calls out your name
Into hell you ride
At dawn you die
Die my enemies as I raise my sword of steel
Your blood fills my hands
As it drips onto the land
Lord of the world I have arrived
Fear creeps up your spine
By my sword you will die
As you burn in flames
Death calls out your name
Into hell you ride
At dawn you die
2. Ring of Souls
Soaring through the darkness
I ride on the wings of evil
I see the world below me
My magic is growing stronger within me
I bring forth the power of the ring
Red diamonds burn unholy
My soul tears into the sky
I wear the ring of souls
I raise my fists with glory
To show the world my fury
My spirit is lifted
To the souls of the ancients
I bring forth the power of the ring
Red diamonds burn unholy
The heavens open up around me
Dark magic now unfolds
Summoning the spirits from the dark world
Crossing the bridges of time
Creatures from the netherworlds
Under my command for all to see
The ring has mighty power
Its radiance consumes me
Bringing the heavens together
Lost souls run free forever
I bring forth the power of the ring
Red diamonds burn unholy
My soul tears into the sky
I wear the ring of souls
3. Song of Roland
Twenty thousand Frenchmen lying in the valley
Rear guard to king Charlamagne
The great one among them Roland was his name
Nephew of the Christian king
But sad is the story that falls on this day
For treason is at hand
As Ganelon plots conspiracy
A true evil man
War is at hand
Plotted by an evil man
One who paid tribute to King Charlamagne
Roland how sad
Crossed by his own man
Honor lies dead on the blood soaked land
The Spanish come to ambush
With soldiers left behind
Come in masses unfortold
One hundred thousand cross the line
Death falls upon the Frenchmen
A massacre of twenty thousand men
Blood stains the ground
And the entire land
Roland sounds the oliphant calling out the armies
That lie some time away
The great king hears the echo
So he sends his knights back to Spain
The vast and the powerful armies
That were made of gold and steel
Run back with honor in their hearts
To the mighty King Charlamagne
When he gets back to the valley
He knows it’s all in vain
For Roland lies on the ground
With a large wound in his head
The great king weeps in agony
For the death of his warrior
But now the wrath of vengeance
Will take its final toll
Munjoie is cried out as the army closes in
Out to spill the blood of the Spanish king
Munjoie is cried out as the army closes in
To avenge the death and pay homage to their king
Standing at the battlefield the King attacks Belignat
Ripping his heart and skin
The battle ends in glory as it was said in prophesy
The trial of the wicked is at hand
The most sinful crime of the land
So death is the verdict’s punishment
And Ganelon pays for his sins
4. Demons Buried Within
The anger that that I feel forever
To go out to kill all that that I know
I feel the demons buried inside
Demons buried inside
People don’t understand me
Why things bother me so much
I feel the horror killing me
To extinguish the beast inside of me
Life is hard and unholy
To toil the world in pain
This searing anger wrecking up my mind
Hatred, anger there’s no difference to the monster
I have no place to run, nowhere to hide
I cannot relate my innocence
So lost so hurt from birth
I wish to find a way to set me free
To extinguish the beast inside of me
Life, death, love, hate, learn
No difference in the end we all will burn
The fear which blinds my vision
I know will never return
The anger that I feel forever
To go out to kill all that I know
