1. Rebellion (The Clans Are Marching)

The clan's are marching `gainst the law
Bagpipers play the tunes of war
Death or glory i will find
Rebellion on my mind

Rumours know that rebellion will break out
Bonnie Prince Charles is in the highlands to claim his crown no doubt
He raised his Standart at Glenfinnen calling to our pride
The Jacobites are gathering I'll be at their side

Armed and ready stand
My rights I must defend
Steel is in my hand

The clan's are marching `gainst the law
Bagpipers play the tunes of war
Death or glory i will find
Rebellion on my mind

The town of Edinburgh fell soon in our hands
Defeated the English at the Battle of Prestopans

Armed and ready stand
My rights I must defend
Steel is in my hand

The clan's are marching `gainst the law
Bagpipers play the tunes of war
Death or glory i will find
Rebellion on my mind




2. Heavy Metal Breakdown (re-recorded)

Metal invasion that's all what we need
Metal dominion that's all what we want
We come to give you rules and principles
what you have to do
We come to shake your hands and legs
as fast as we can do

Heavy Metal Breakdown x 4
Women and children want to hear the noise
Women and children want to feel the beat
Bang your heads as fast as you can
until you're breaking down
The night is long, the show is right
bang until you die

Heavy Metal Breakdown
shake your legs and bang your heads
Heavy Metal Breakdown




3. The Round Table (Forever)

Table of the finest wood
Mankind has ever seen
Without head and without foot
A sign of eternity

All knights are equal here
And so is even the King
Our swords point to its center
Giving us the power to win

TOGETHER WE STAND
STEEL IN OUR HANDS
FIGHTING FOREVER
FOREVER WE STAND

FOREVER WE FIGHT
SIDE BY SIDE
FOREVER WE STAND
FOREVER WE STAND

Give us the wisdom - Almighty Lord
To make out wrong from right
Give us the will to choose the Right
And the readiness to sacrifice

We become free in serving each other
We're Camelots pounding heart
Round table of true brothers
Until death do us part

TOGETHER WE STAND
STEEL IN OUR HANDS
FIGHTING FOREVER
FOREVER WE STAND

FOREVER WE FIGHT
SIDE BY SIDE
FOREVER WE STAND
FOREVER WE STAND




4. The Battle Of Bannockburn

The wind lashed in our faces
The English found our traces
On moss-covered land
Scotland we defend
At Stirling bridge we try to last
But we fail to stand fast

Blood mingles with pouring rain
Writing tales of pain

Help - Else we will perish
Help - Else we will vanish
Look - Heaven's sign
Look - Ship's graceful lines

WHITE KNIGHTS APPEAR
SILHOUETTED AGAINST THE DARK
IN THE BATTLE OF BANNOCKBURN
THE TABLES TURN

FEW KNIGHTS APPEAR
BUT MASTERS OF THE FIGHT
IN THE BATTLE OF BANNOCKBURN
THE TABLES TURN

Few knights appear
But masters of the fight
In the battle of Bannockburn
The table turns

Help - Else we will perish
Help - Else we will vanish
Look - Heaven's sign
Look - Ship's graceful lines

WHITE KNIGHTS APPEAR
SILHOUETTED AGAINST THE DARK
IN THE BATTLE OF BANNOCKBURN
THE TABLES TURN

FEW KNIGHTS APPEAR
BUT MASTERS OF THE FIGHT
IN THE BATTLE OF BANNOCKBURN
THE TABLES TURN

They draw their glaming swords
Two knights one horse
How they swing their flail
Ending the bloody tale
Just like a bad dream
English disappear in fog
Finally - Victory
Highlanders' victory

Help - Else we will perish
Help - Else we will vanish
Look - Heaven's sign
Look - Ship's graceful lines

WHITE KNIGHTS APPEAR
SILHOUETTED AGAINST THE DARK
IN THE BATTLE OF BANNOCKBURN
THE TABLES TURN

FEW KNIGHTS APPEAR
BUT MASTERS OF THE FIGHT
IN THE BATTLE OF BANNOCKBURN
THE TABLES TURN




5. Circle Of Witches

The foul smell of evil hangs over the moores
Where in a lonely hut three witches dwell
Repelling creatures, ageless, feared and fitted
With powers from the depths of Hell
Once a noble man, a baron brother of the king himself
Visited the wtiches on a dark, dark night
He asked assist to gain the throne
He sold his soul to win a fight

The days getting short, and the nights getting colder
Winter has come, the sun is too weak
The forces of night are now growing stronger
Searching for souls of men blind with greed
Three witches stand in a circle of evil
Tongues speaking words old and unknown
Call for a demon to serve in their dark spell
Fulfill what they owe to get what men own

I'll be king, I want the power, I will change my fate
Magic's on my side forever, so the witches say
Time is right to gain the throne, I'll take my brother down
I'll be king to rule the land, yes I'll take the crown

I've lost my soul
I've lost control
To the circle of witches
My life is black
There's no way back
From the circle of witches
Circle of witches
Circle of witches
Circle of witches - Never again

Lie in wait, prepared to fight, soon the king must come
Allied with the darkest powers, murder will be done
Loyal soldiers stand for battle, blinded are their eyes
Witchcraft takes away their sight, as we take their lives

I've lost my soul
I've lost control
To the circle of witches
My life is black
There's no way back
From the circle of witches
Circle of witches
Circle of witches
Circle of witches - Never again


I look at myself, a mirror of darkness
My mind is drowned, a dark flood of hate
I owe too much to the powers of evil
I know I'm damned, sealed is my fate

For the gloom of gold and glory, I have sold my soul
Blackened are the sunny days, the dark side gains control
Hell awaits as nightmares haunt me, demons in my head
Satan waits with patient joy, he'll greet me when I'm dead

I've lost my soul
I've lost control
To the circle of witches
My life is black
There's no way back
From the circle of witches
Circle of witches
Circle of witches
Circle of witches - Never again




6. The Dark Of The Sun

Get your steel brothers
We must fight
Hakon tries to steal
Scotish right

Norwegian soldiers on our land
Steal our Islands
We must defend
Their number's too great we can't win
God in heaven
Send a sign

Kneel and pray - the sun turns black
God with us - we must attack

In the dark of the sun
In the dark of the sun
In the dark of the sun
In the dark of the sun

Alex king you did
win the day
You bet Hakon and
Proud Norway

We swept them off the battlefield
In their blood they lie
Death is dealed
Their king died on foreign land
United we were strong
we did stand

Kneel and pray - the sun turns black
God with us - we must attack

In the dark of the sun
In the dark of the sun
In the dark of the sun
In the dark of the sun
Fight!

In the dark of the sun
The enemy's defeated run
In the dark of the sun
The battle has been won




7. Witch Hunter (re-recorded)

Have you seen that man
Wrapped up all in black
He waits for his chance
Steps behind your back
He's the raper of the night
Never seen before
There's no warning when he comes
Lock your bedroom door
Jumped the garden wall
Did you hear him howl
Waits outside the hall
Can't you see him frown
Well, this guy is on the prowl
For evil and for lust
If you meet him, pray to god
Or you will be lost

He's a witch hunter, witch hunter
Witch hunter, witch hunter
Through the kitchen door
He's just found his way
Now the clock strikes four
Tonight he will stay
Stepping down your marble hall
He wears a sharpened knife
You can say I told you so
He wants you for his wife




8. Symphony Of Death

Fight for God's country
Stand strong, pride you feel
Obey march, raise your banners
Kill die in the fields of steel
Truth faith, what you fight for
Kill rape, eternal glory
Blood gore, shining heroes
Spell write a bloody history

We fight, we kill we die
We play, we dance
To a symphony of death

Wars pride, waving colours
Pain Death, final solution
Look see what are we doing
Kill die for false illusions
Tears fall for dying children
No more human sanity
Take life, sacrifice your child




9. Heart Of Darkness

In every man there's good and bad
Madness lurks in every brain
Do you know what's deep in your head
Are you a genius or insane
Sometimes the borders deep in you just fall

General's gone mad in Vietnam
Became a God, a lonely one
Once a soldier of great fame he was
Now killing seems all the same in wars
Sometimes the other side breaks through the wall

You do your duty, just don't ask why
Kill him with a cold heart, he's damned to die
The river leads you all the way, you never stop
You fight to live another day, can't ever stop

We're fighting for freedom
We're fighting for peace
We're serving our country
We're fighting for God

You feel the madness the jungle breeds
It all seems useless, heroic deeds
You understand the general more and more, you lost control
Madness creeps into your deepest core, and in your soul

We're fighting for freedom
We're fighting for peace
We're serving our country
We're fighting for God

In the heart of darkness
See the fire in the eastern sky
In the heart of darkness
Soldiers fighting for a lie
In the heart of darkness
See the fire in the eastern sky
In the heart of darkness
Soldiers fighting for a lie

Man you're crazy, believe me you're not God
Who's to say so, ain't we all the same
Man you slaughter, it's useless, what's your game
All is useless, war games, it seems insane

I observed a snail creeping on the edge of a razor blade
That is my dream, that is my nightmare
To creep on the edge of a razor blade and survive

You did your duty, the general's dead
But you paid a high price, your mind's gone mad
Somehow the general had his way, a point of no return
The memories haunt you night and day, in your soul they burn

In the heart of darkness
See the fire in the eastern sky
In the heart of darkness
Soldiers fighting for a lie
In the heart of darkness
See the fire in the eastern sky
In the heart of darkness
Soldiers fighting for a lie




10. Fight The Fight

Riding on a warpath, storming through the town
Blowing it to pieces, killing all around
Fighting for existance, looking for a way
Now it's getting harder, it's the price you pay

Black or white - It's no different kind
Black or white - The leaders are so blind
Fight The Fight - Fight for your right
Fight The Fight - And see the light

Crossing bloody streets, waiting for attack
Living for a moment, never turning back
Striking down the white, killing all in sight
It's a state of hate, where fires burning bright

Black or white - It's no different kind
Black or white - The leaders are so blind
Fight The Fight - Fight for your right
Fight The Fight - And see the light




11. Lionheart

Fiery red curls cover his shoulder
He's the ruler, no one is bolder
His steel - blue eyes won't show no fear
Reflecting the suffering of war so clear
A knight, a leader, wearing England's crown
Richard the Lionheart wants to put the Moslems down
He sets the sail, heading Outremer
Defending the name he bears


A man like a Lion
With a generous heart
For his sake thousands die
Lionheart - England's Pride

LIONHEART
ALMIGHTY KING
FREEDOM YOU'LL BRING
LIONHEART
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
KING OF THE KINGS

King Philipp at his side and many knights
Overcome the Islam, souls painted white
He executes all prisoners, without regret
Corpses cover the ground as the sun sets

A man like a Lion
With a generous heart
For his sake thousands die
Lionheart - England's Pride

LIONHEART
ALMIGHTY KING
FREEDOM YOU'LL BRING
LIONHEART
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
KING OF THE KINGS

Akkon has fallen into Richard's hands
Still war on his mind, moving to France
In one fatal moment came the end of his quest
Breathing his last with an arrow in his chest

A man like a Lion
With a generous heart
For his sake thousands die
Lionheart - England's Pride

LIONHEART
ALMIGHTY KING
FREEDOM YOU'LL BRING
LIONHEART
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
KING OF THE KINGS




12. Headbanging Man (re-recorded)

Dressed in leather, dressed in chains
Full of agression, full of pains
Stage is open, light comes up
Metal kids go mad
Count - down is on for the band
Drunken women, drunken men
Show their hands forfucking arse
They bang their heads
He's a man, he's a kid
Wanna bang with you
Headbanging man
He's man, he's a kid
Wanna bang with you
Headbanging man
Metal music blows your heads
And metal maniacs bang to death
The air roars like a machine gun
Banging devils on the run
The show is over, kids are gone
And fucking people lay alone
Drun too much, they're falling down
It's a headbanging crown

He's a man, he's a kid
Wanna bang with you
Headbanging man
He's a man, he's a kid Wanna bang with you
Headbanging with you
Headbanging man

15. The Reaper

Welcome to the evil's nightmare
See the demons dancing round
Waiting for the reaper's rising
Looking out for Satan's crowd

The grave is open, a digger's smile
Please welcome the dead

Look behind you, he stands behind you
The Reaper shall return
Look beside you, he walks beside you
The Reaper has returned

Tonight the Reaper's party is open
Get entrance, get the trance
Forget about the words of warning
Forget about the smell of death

The grave is open, a digger's smile
Please welcome the dead

Look behind you, he stands behind you
The Reaper shall return
Look beside you, he walks beside you
The Reaper has returned

The raft of death now leaves the landing
Waters wipe out space and time
Black man gives a skinless smile
Cold greetings reach your mind

Look behind you, he stands behind you
The Reaper shall return
Look beside you, he walks beside you
The Reaper has returned




16. The Ballad Of Mary (Queen Of Scots)

My fingers touch the solid stones
Strong and cold, they keep me from home
Imprisoned like a wingless dove
Far away from the land I love

Lonely days count lonely years
I have cried a thousand tears
All that I tried to gain
Is lost the effort was in vain

At Carberry hill I lost my crown
My husband fled my luck went down
In England's hands I fell
18 years a living hell

The Scotish crown belongs to me
Yet I'm bound I can not flee
With iron claws England holds tight
All is lost no chance to fight

Silence - Silence Everywhere

Cold walls are my reward
Loneliness engulfs my soul
I've been true I gave my heart
Stained tears I cried
I long to be free again
To walk in peace again
Scotland cries her queen is lost
Agony's her friend again
