1. The Ravenmaster
And let he who hath no honour,
Cast the first stone.
Born of the serpent,
Their bastard trinity trembles in fear,
Behind armour of scorn.
Mocking the valour of those proud enough to stand mighty,
To stand true.
But no more,
For I would cast them out from the glory of the sombre forest,
Crush them,
Let them bask in the radiance of the winter moon,
Pluck out their weak and worthless hearts
So no more they profane this hallowed kingdom.
Aye, and let my words ring clear
Throughout Albions fair lands
So all our brethren rejoice.
That our time of deliverance is at hand
The might is upon us
And on her black wings we shall ride....
.... TO VICTORY
2. To Ride With Tyr
Eden burned I watched in anger
Crimson rains swept truth away
The Janus Tribe bask in glory
Such weak vision still held sway
Craven offspring (rape the memory)
A dance macabre upon the grave
Usurpers to a throne of shadows
Puppet masters are mere slaves
An embryo of one last hope
The golden era of one last dream
Their righteous passion, a burning fear
We die as brothers and ride with Tyr
Honour drank as finest wines
Banquet upon the spirit
Nefarious they feast in fury
In honour of our empires fall
Smite with malice (falsehoods bane)
Keep vigil over my tempered sword
Amaranthine crescendo of virulence
Ebony veiled the masque of war
3. Graven Deep
From lack of hope, confusion and anger
Nightgaunts they mock my brooding tragedy
Her word made flesh
And seek us not, in the darkside we dwell
A realm of broken hope and madness
A myriad of unemotional hell
Starborn she serenades
My one desire, a fleeting touch
Draw down the sun - reborn
Words unspoken now forever gone
(Open your mind and open your heart
Peace my child in this place of dark)
The shrood of dirt may obscure her light
The pain increases as time drifts by
The muted pleas she cannot hear
In the cold damp earth of unspoken fear
4. Halcyon
5. Gloves Of Metal (Manowar cover)
Hear the pounding army of the night
The call of metal summons us tonight
And gather we on this site
To behold the power and the might
We wear leather, we wear spikes, we rule the night
Off with the lights, hear the screams
See the banging heads awaken to their dreams.
The sound of metal so loud it cracks the beams
Played by warriors called the Metal Kings.
A hero's welcome for those who heed the call.
We are together, we are all.
With hands high fists fill the air
Against the world we stand.
Hands high forever we'll be there,
Gloves of Metal rule tonight. Yea
A hero's welcome for those who heed the call.
We are together, we are all.
With hands high fists fill the air
Against the world we stand.
Hands high forever we'll be there,
Gloves of Metal rule tonight. Yea
Leather, Metal, Spikes and Chains
Gloves of Metal raised to show the brave.
Into the darkness march the armies of the night.
Bound by metal we live the fight.
We wear leather, we wear spikes, we rule the night
With hands high fists fill the air
Against the world we stand.
Hands high forever we'll be there,
Gloves of Metal rule tonight. Yea
