1. At Night
At night I try to wake when it steals into my dreams
Shapeless one designed by hate is ever following
Frozen by an unseen force, I begin to suffocate
Words defy to tell the tales of this place hidden by night
And when the night falls on this town
Whose shadow moves without a sound
Come ride with us tonight
Fearless child of wind and fire
Let your burning heart take into flight
..Oh, At Night
Do what must be done, so fight!
Hold aloft your sword to the midnight sky
To fear the night�s unknown is to give evil strength
Now he in wait because it�s coming back again
So rise to meet the force that�s tortured your beliefs
You�ll find the will inside to show what evil brings
And when the sun starts going down
Who�ll stay to see what comes around
Crystal clear are the eyes which gaze
Past The Neverness Sea into infinity
Tonight your ivory horse is waiting in the sky
The Nethermists now rise before the city�s skyline
Vindication�s come for those who�ve beat the odds
This time you�re twice the wiser, knowing what once was
And when all is said and don
We�ll see who�s run or stood their ground
Face the one who walks at night
Before it�s you who crosses into the light
2. Some Other Time Some Other Place
Shadows moving in the distance
Time of judgment drawing near
We must face the growing terror
And we must face it without fear
From four corners it was written
That the horseman would arrive
Their goal to decimate the faithful
And scorch the world with ancient fire
Some Other Time, Some Other Place
Will we find all we�ve longed for or die in disgrace?
Some Other Time, Some Other Place
Do you have your life in order?
Just in case you don�t survive
Is our mission one of valor
Or calculated suicide?
Some Other Time, Some Other Place
Will we find all we�ve longed for or die in disgrace?
Some Other Time, Some Other Place
At the end of our lives will we accept death�s embrace?
Some Other Time, Some Other Place
3. Axes & Honor
We are the mighty, yes we are the brave
With a selfless conviction, never to stray
From the first of October, thru a midsummer�s day
We bear �The Crest of the Martyrs�
Our passion won�t fade
Come join our crusade
With axes and honor, our way of life�s saved
Come do not be afraid
With axes and honor, our victories gained
We�ll strike from the mountains, thru the valley�s below
Across land and water, our legions will go
We�re taking their women, none to dig a grave
We�ll reprogram their children, to fight in our name
We held onto a dream, of a better life one day to be
Standards held high, hearts filled with pride
For what we�ve done to be free
Return to a time when fortunes fell to the edge of a sword
Honor was none to those hearts who were pure
We�ve brethren in England, Germany and Spain
Forged in the truest fires
Many fall to their blades
We know many Greek warriors
Much too many to name
And the fight is undying in the home of the brave
4. To Be a Champion
Are you prepared to pay the price?
Do you know the pain of sacrifice?
Is there a fire burning deep inside of you?
You�ve fought for this moment for so long
Your body grows weary, your will is strong
You�re finally standing right where you belong
Hear the cheering voices rise
You stand before the crowd with your arms raised high
You know the feeling that won�t fade with time
To be a champion! To be a champion!
Many shall falter, so few prevail
Future generations will tell your tale
The modern day warrior�s fight to never fail
Those who will face you to strike you down
Show them no mercy, leave no one in doubt
There is no other deserving of the crown
5. Infinitum
We stare in the eyes of assassins
Our courage never falters, never to fail
Cowards them all lurking in darkness
In the end you�ll pay
Infinitum - falling into black
Infinitum - screaming
We are leaving
On a journey into the unknown
Forever believing the promises made long ago
Spirits of warlords now beckon
Drawing us closer to where heroes belong
To join the souls of the valiant
The daring, the fearless, the noble, the strong!
So proudly we watch from a distance
In our memory warriors fight to the grave
Our warcries resound through the vastness of time
To provide inspiration to the hearts of the brave
6. Fight to Be Free
Leading me through darkened halls
My hands are bound and tied
Echoes of all of those
Who have come to watch me die
The hooded man is whispering
�Forgive what I must do�
All is well when this day ends
No blame will come on you
I�ll die for what�s right and I�ll fight to be free
Free from the madness forever haunting me
I�ll give all I can, spill my blood upon the sand
No one can change what is meant to be
Fight to be free
Archers on the tower�s walls
I pray your aim is true
Fell the guards first at my side
And then I�ll make my move
Swords men hidden within the crowd
Be quick and draw your blade
Use your skills for my release
And martyrdom some other day
7. Transfixed
In a place where the night�s forever
And the wolves will never dare
There�s an evil magic in the air, beware!
There�s a price for those who wonder
What lies within the wizard�s lair
Into the night on a fateful journey
Never to return
Beyond the edge of the wild
Into the clutch of the wizard
Woe oh oh, there�s no return
Dark cries and witch�s laughter
Mocking you for the truth you�re after
Another fool ignored the oracle
Another life to increase the power
Steal their souls and erase their minds
See his fire pierce the midnight sky!
In the cult of the wizard
Enchantment tempts all those who�ve seen
In the sign of the dragon
A dream trance draped in mystery
In the cult of the wizard
Where your mind is part of his machine
In the sign of the dragon
Oh the children will never be seen again
8. By My Hand
I am reckless abandon, in my clutch I hold the key
Of all that will and will not be, I can see the future
I am the dealer of pain, in every tragic deadly day
I could wash it all away
Have fire fall like rain
Erasing every trace of man
Steal the stars out of the sky
Humanity crucified
Kingdoms crumble by my hand
Those who breathed the poison, how it dried their veins away
To dust they will return, madmen I�ve created
Oh the blood they spill for me, as their rotting minds decay
9. Guardian Bloodline
False gods are closing in on sacred ground tonight
With holy steel in hand, ourselves to sacrifice
Just pray the future will recall
Against an empire we stood tall
By the light of dawn they saw
The blood of martyrs slain
Deep inside the hands of doom
Life force of noble men
In the darkest night �twas clear
The sign of errors grave
Five true spirits had remained
Deeds done upon this night will echo in beyond
We the few who still remain, we�re gonna face the fall
Oh son of Odin hear my call
Against an empire we stood tall
10. The Reflecting Pool
Silence has now fallen
It echoes thru the trees
Resonating energy
There�s magic in the forest, for those who will believe
I wonder what the future holds for me
In the reflecting pool
We�ve spent a lifetime, searching for this place
Of which legend has sown
To peer into the years, and witness what shall be
Stories only time will tell
Beware of what you seek in the water
There�s no escaping what you�ll discover
Turn Away
Can you face what�s been foretold in time
Don�t tempt fate, the water doesn�t lie
Is this a nightmare, we see before our eyes?
Such malice man has never known
We cannot seem to turn from this magnificent madness
Into the horror we are drawn
It�s all too clear now, what has to be done
To save our world from bitter end
To ensue a life of peace for centuries to come
We enter the water one by one
He of the jackal is born, earthquakes tear the land
The abomination of desolation, 1260 days of tribulation
Unbefore seen atrocities, unrestrained savagery
Nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom
Fire erupts from the heavens
