1. Be My Wench
She comes to me in the middle of the night wearing only silk and lace
Bearing the gifts of sex and wine with a burning embrace
Long wavy hair of flaxen gold surrounds me in a dream
She's too young to be so bold I wanna make her scream
[Chorus:]
Be my wench tonight oh maiden so fair
Be my wench tonight pleasure is yours if you dare
Don't you worry that I won't give in the proof is right there in your hand
Some will say you are living in sin but they don't understand
The truth is you have nothing to lose woman come here to me
If it is lust and desire you choose I'll set your spirit free
[Chorus]
Live in the moment passions run wild what pleasure it brings
You have the body and face of a child you've never felt such things
The truth is you have nothing to lose woman come here to me
If it is lust and desire you choose I'll set your spirit free
[Chorus]
2. Battle Cry
Catch a fleeting glimpse then be on your way
Oh the end is near if you choose to stay
This forsaken land torn by grief and strife
No it's not worth the value of your life
[Chorus:]
The smell of death lingers in the air
Bloodstained bodies scattered everywhere
In the distance thunder in the sky
See the sorrow, hear the battlecry, battlecry
The carnage races on well into the night
As the sun creeps up we see the morning light
On the battlefield the tragedy of dawn
Through the crimson tide we still carry on
[Chorus]
3. Warning Of Danger
Now command ye
Stand up tall
Through the veil
You shall fall
Above the world in the dark of night
Another secret brought to light
Power gained and power lost
Man will win at any cost
[Chorus]
Warning of Danger
We're ready for a fight
Watch for the stranger
A shadow in the night
Clip their wings and watch them fall
Know one ever heeds yours call
Through the veil, the final birth
Tribal warriors stalk the earth
[Chorus]
Children suffer for the right
To wear the golden crown so bright
Power gained and power lost
Man will win at any cost
You're taken souls piece by piece
Now on your knees you beg release
Shake the earth without a tear
All are running lost with fear
[Chorus]
4. Don't Fear The Night
Now, now you know
Now you know
The pain will grow
Only a fool would try what you have done
Stood eye to eye while under the gun
On and on you run for your life
All of your fears are they only in your mind
[Chorus]
Learn to stand learn to fight
You know the truth you've got the right
Learn to stand learn to fight
Speak the truth don't fear the night
You look away but still the truth it burns
Only a broken man he never ever learns
As all of your dreams slowly melt away
Once again there's nothing left to say
[Chorus]
Don't fear the night
Don't fear the night
Don't fear the night
Don't fear the night:
Through all the pain and sorrow
You chose to stand alone
Out in the light like the desert
Sun you've shown
We all make the bet
We all try to forget
The pain that we have shared
But now you know
[Chorus]
Don't fear the night
Don't fear the night
Don't fear the night
Don't fear the night
Don't fear the night
Don't fear the night
Learn to stand and fight
Don't fear the night
5. Teeth Of The Hydra
Destiny calls
To leave these walls
For only the fleece
Can bring us peace
I am to rule
A king not a fool
The prophesy I will defend
And sail to the worlds end
Fear the children slain of the hydra
For they will seek to kill upon command
None can escape the teeth of the hydra
From the teeth of the hydra
Come the children of the Damned
Many have tried
And many have died
So it is told
In search of the ram of gold
And guarding the prize
With death in its eyes
Lies a seven-headed serpent
In shadows awaiting the bold
We, have not come here to kill
But for the fleece
Be it the Gods will
We, same as the legend
The prophesy will be fulfilled in the end
Our battle has come
And I fear to run
But with my blade of steel
The serpent is done
From his teeth on the ground
With an evil sound
Grow skeletons of death
Wanting my soul
6. At All Cost
Do you see clearly
The image on the wall
Is true that man
Must surely fall
If we build foundations
Reflections in our eyes
Unless we look deep within
It's believing only lies
Shadows cast in likeness
Stretching with the Sun
Like the fear of death
They linger even though we run
Once before we lived in
Another space and time
Now that the Earth is our home
we need a reason for the Rhyme
Don't separate yourself from your dreams
Do what you must to survive
Don't give up and don't give in
You must keep your dream alive
Do what you must to survive
The consequence is clear
Regret will break your heart
lf you stop reaching for
The top you'll be torn apart
Nothing worthwhile is easy
The path isn't always clear
With each forward step
We take we bring
The meaning ever near
Fear plagues each moment
Conviction will decide
If energy is gained or lost
Nothing more can it provide
Against the odds we struggle
Each in his own way
But you are the one
That faces reflections of everyday
