1. Blood of My Enemies
Three sons have I and they ride by my side
The fierce, the black and the wicked are their names
We ride down my enemies on their half hearted flight
No voice of mercy, no evangels of light
Mighty messengers heathens rage
Witness our coming, the Gods of the dead
I ride through the air, I laugh as I die
With powers of evil dark knowledge is mine
The ride of the wicked, the first sin was trust
Kill without warning for blood now I lust
Strong winds magic mist
To Asgard the valkries fly
High overhead they carry the dead
Where the blood of my enemy lies
Three sons have I and they ride by my side
The fierce, the black and the wicked are their names
We ride down my enemies on their half hearted flight
No voice of mercy, no evangels of light
Strong winds magic mist
To Asgard the valkries fly
High overhead they carry the dead
Where the blood of my enemy lies
2. Each Dawn I Die
Passing through the storm led by demons
Walk between the world of men and Gods
Cast no shadows draw no light
I raped the priestess on pagan's night
I taste the serpent's poison
On the lips of the one I love
She brings this gift of witchcraft
I wear the cat skin gloves
Apples of youth when I brought mischief
Hung in a tree to rot in the sun
Reborn in the middle of the final orgy
A gift of slavery to the chosen one
Suicide suicide don't you know me
Call to the master, he will come
He will bring our resurrection
Cloaked in darkness he has won
Smoke of my sacrifice
Journey to the isle of the blessed
Grant my soul your glory
At night time I'm your guest
Only I know why
Each dawn I die
Smoke of my sacrifice
Journey to the isle of the blessed
Grant my soul your glory
At night time I'm your guest
Only I know why
Each dawn I die
3. Kill With Power
Hear what's written on the wind
We come to kill and kill again
Our arrows fall like hail
Trample on the dead
Ride through the gate of clouds
Stand on the open step
Run berserk spreading fear and pain
Black shield and weapons, black our chain
None can harm us not their fire, iron or steel
For we have the will to power
With power we will kill
Kill with power
Die die
Kill with power
Die die
To the war God Odin you will pray
And the curse of weapons shall remain
On the blood of all our fathers
On their weapons we now swear
To avenge, not lament
Give the false ones death
Kill with power
Die die
Kill with power
Die die
4. Hail to England
Raise sails head for the open sea
With sails full of wind our hearts overflow with belief
The quest for the grail to England we sail with our steel
We bring what was lost if lives are the cost let it be
Strong she stands
Reaching her hand
Brave and grand
On English ground we were born
Proudly we return to English shores
Hail hail to England
Hail hail hail
We march from the hills down to London town
Join raise your hands or hide when we ride for the crown
The sign of the hammer and the black winds blow through the night
Long was our wait our meeting with fate is tonight
Strong she stands
Reaching her hand
Brave and grand
On English ground we were born
Proudly we return to English shores
Hail hail to England
Hail hail hail
Standing tall
One and all
Light the hall
Years have passed I've dreamed of this day
As we raise our hands we proudly say
Hail hail to England
Hail hail hail
5. Army of Immortals
Battle Hymns did sound the call, you came to our side
You heard true metal, Into Glory Ride
Come on yea
You stood beside us, the false ones cries
Your love is judgement, you gave us life
You wait in the rain, you walk through the snow
We give you our blood, we want you to know
In our eyes you're immortal
In our hearts you'll live forever
In our eyes you're immortal
In our hearts you'll live forever more
We have read your letters, we have heard your call
We were brought together cause we've got the balls
To play the loudest metal, so hard and wild and mean
You'll live forever, we were born from your belief
Metal makes us strong
Together we belong
Forever here's your song
We want you to know
In our eyes you're immortal
In our hearts you'll live forever
In our eyes you're immortal
In our hearts you'll live forever more
Metal makes us strong
Together we belong
Forever here's your song
We want you to know
In our eyes you're immortal
In our hearts you'll live forever
In our eyes you're immortal
In our hearts you'll live forever more
Metal makes us strong
It makes us
Metal makes us strong
It makes us stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger
Stronger, metal makes us strong
6. Black Arrows
*spoken part*
Let each note I now play
be a black arrow of death
sent straight to the hearts
of all those who play false metal
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
/intrsumental
7. Bridge of Death
Slowly crossing as the river runs below
Never stopping for what's waiting soon will show
And this the last time looking back I'll see my home
For he awaits me reaching for my soul
He calls my name and waves me on
The fallen one he stands in flame
Well the life that he has given full of riches and success
Has a price that I made good in blood to pay
And the light he now is showing to guide my every footstep
Is insurance if I falter on the way
And what God has now forsaken and man has never seen
Are the riches of the underworld below
All my years of earthly pleasures gave support unto the bridge
I now cross it giving him my soul
Dark lord I summon thee
Demanding the sacred right to burn in Hell
Ride up on Hell's hot wind
Face one more evil than thou
Take my lustful soul
Drink my blood as I drink yours
Impale me on the horns of death
Cut off my head release all my evil
Lucifer is King, praise Satan
I know the one who waits Satan is his name
Across the Bridge of Death there he stands in flame
I know the one who waits Satan is his name
Across the Bridge of Death there he stands in flame
He is my provider as I walk into the void
For eternity I'll give to him my soul
I shall do his bidding obey him without question
Even walk among the living if I'm told
Satan don't forsake me
I wait for you to take me
Grant me wings and as your messenger I'll fly
