1. Enter the Warrior
Sword and shield
The time has come, The hammers crashing down
Ride this night, for the crown
Take thy place upon the battleground
Twilight gleaming
Thou must fight
For thy freedom
Tis the time
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
Is what they say to take the pain away
When will they learn that pain is truth
And God be manifested in thy youth
Twilight gleaming
Thou must fight
For thy freedom
Tis the night
Thou shallt pay for all thy sins
Hel awaits the blood is thin
Crimes of God and man and beast
If thou dost not pay, then hel shall feast on thee
So ride, my son, through the snow
If thee be true, then thou shallt feel no blow
For Gods own grace rides with you
And never underestimate the fool
Twilight gleaming
Thou must fight
For thy freedom
Tis the night
2. Defender
Defending my planet
Is all that I do
Hostile intruders
Put there by you
A mass invasion
Coming down from the sky
I'll come back fighting
Even after I die
Defender.................Defender
Living for dying
My planet destroyed
There's too many of them
It's back to the void
Defending my planet
Is all that I do
Won't somebody play me
One quarter will do
Defender...............Defender
3. Queen of the Black Coast
Take me back, across the sea
Of Vilayet, to my queen
No kingdom hers, but for the sea
A coastal curse, a pirate's dream
Scourge of the westcoast
Hellcat of my dreams
The tigress sailed, The south so vast
The queen was hung from her own mast
From winged death she did save
My hardened soul, from the grave
Funeral pyre forever
Burning out to sea
Queen of the black coast
Watch as the heads roll
4. Metal
Blood of life, flowing pure
In honored grace we shall endure
Lords of war cast down on us
Nine lives before the Incubus
We praise the blood that metal brings
The essence of creative qaulity
Is life so pure we cannot seek
Our hopes, our dreams to make our fantasies reality
Chains of steel bind us here
They seem so real till death appears
In quest of fate, of love, of life
It's not to late to know the light
We praise the blood that metal brings
The essence of creative quality
Is life so pure we cannot seek
Our hopes, our dreams to make our fantasies reality
Incisioned mind, ruined for all time
In dark of night pursues the crime
But love be true even in hell
And love of life brings us metal
Blind as ever, they can't hear the bell
They will suffer for the souls they sell
Chains will never bind us to hell
To all father we rais eour swords and ride to Valhalla
Heavy..... METAL
METAL
METAL
5. Out of Control with Rock 'n' Roll
The fire in my heart is burning... out of control
And I can't seem to stop this yearning... for rock & roll
I've tried to hold my feelings
But when the music starts it sends my head a-reeling
I'm out of control with rock & roll
I'm out of control with rock & roll
Take me through the frozen wastelands
Just take me higher and higher
So I can try and forget
This hellbent raging desire
I'm out of control with rock & roll
I'm out of control with rock & roll
Do it to ya
I don't know how this is happening
I don't know if this is real
I think I'm changing
I don't know how I should feel
How should I feel
In my soul
I'm out of control with rock & roll
I'm out of control with rock & roll
The fire in my heart is burning... out of control
And I can't seem to stop this yearning.. for rock & roll
A million hells I'd suffer
Just to rock & roll forever
I'm out of control with rock & roll
I'm out of control with rock & roll
6. Cage of Mirrors
On the crest for eternity, a bell for every day
That I've lived in silent search of the mirrored cage
I could summon Lucifer and his warriors
With the necromancer's cage of mirrors
I found the castle on the hill where is said to be
The necromancer's gate to hell, a cage of sorcery
Mirrored bars that show all the pathways through the mind
To the other side of hell where demon warriors ride...
Where demon warriors ride... Ha! Ha ! Ha!
The cage appears before my eyes, I feel I'm in a dream
To the other side of hell I cast my spell and scream
I summon Lucifer and his warriors
I... I found the cage of mirrors
With magick book I cast the spell of the trinity
To open up the gates of hell and blacken all the seas
the griffon with his eyes of blood searing through my soul
Demanding virgin sacrifice, how was I to know
How was I to know... I couldn't know...
Not ever possibly.. What did I do...
Blasphemy... Ha! Ha! Ha!
Tale me back the way I came, I don't want to see
The evil that awaits my name, I live in agony
I would send back Lucifer and his warriors
But I'm trapped in a cage of mirrors
7. Far Side of the Sun
The day is coming
That soon in future's time
Every single one of us
Will soon learn how to die
And if I do escape
Before that time has come
I will meet you
On the far side of the sun
Everybody is free on the far side of the sun
Oh won't you listen to me
I'm on the other side
I've got to get back home
Before I go out of my mind
It's like I'm a mirror
A mystery I can't face
It's like a dream I'm living
I've got to get back into space
Everybody is free on the far side of the sun
I'm going to journey homeward
That time has finally come
I'm going to fly back through the stars
To the far side of the sun
And now a ship approachin'
Heading straight for me
Ah Lord it's a ship like mine
Is this my destiny
Everybody is free on the far side of the sun
