1. Flames of Thy Power (From Blood They Rise)
I rise on the Mountain, I do what the Gods disdain
Impassive accounting, the Ghost of your Yesterday
Fear grips my Soul as I lie awake
Hole in the Sky for I die
FLAMES OF THY POWER - You rise with the Blood
FLAMES OF THY POWER - I worship the Sun
No one remembers standing proudly
FLAMES OF THY POWER - to walk in the Sun like Gods
The cries of Forgiveness, the Soldiers of Fallen Grace
The Hope of Tomorrow, the Ghost of your Yesterdays
Fear grips my Soul as I lie awake
Hole in my Heart for my Crime
FLAMES OF THY POWER - I worship the Sun
FLAMES OF THY POWER - you rise with the Blood
No one remembers standing proudly
FLAMES OF THY POWER - They walk in the Sunlight Blind
(Oh, what can I do... I see the silent water closing in now)
Blood of Yesterday, crossing the Silent Waterways I Rise
Into the Skies of Human Snow, HAMMER THE WIND to Your Throne of Truth
I see Him Shining, watch the Sin pouring down from me! Damn you All...
I rise on the Mountain, I see through the Passage Ways
My Heart cold and pounding, the Ghost of my Yesterdays
This is my Soul washed by the God's Will
Daughter of Zeus hear my Cry
FLAMES OF THY POWER - I rise with the Sun
FLAMES OF THY POWER - They Hunger for Blood
No one remembers standing proudly
FLAMES OF THY POWER - to walk in the Sunlight Shrine
2. Through the Ring of Fire
Guardian of the Lies of Faith
Darker now this Tale of Hate
Look into the Eyes of Death
Buried in another's Flesh
Fate guide my Hand as I ride Hell's Wind
Hole in the Sky where the Blackest Spirits Rage
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE-
THROUGH THE RING OF PAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE, I AM BORN AGAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE-
THROUGH THE RING OF PAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE, I AM BORN AGAIN
Now you live and now you die
Across the Lake of Gorgon's Eyes
Crimson Blood, a Hero's Quest
Atone for Death with still more Death
Hate guides my Hand as I smile within
Hole in the Sky where the Blackest Spirits Rage
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE-
THROUGH THE RING OF PAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE, I AM BORN AGAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE-
THROUGH THE RING OF PAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE, I AM BORN AGAIN
Right's on the side of our Twin Thrones of War
Bold are the Crowns in their Hands
Bright are the Signs of the Godhead
Justice is found where the Proud Eagles Reign
Blind Persuasion, crack the Holy Tearless Eyes
Will the True Kings return, Thunder greets you with a Sword
Guardian of the Lies of Faith
Harken now this Tale of Hate
Noble Deeds were done this Day
Welcome home your King betrayed
Fate guides my hand as I plunge this Blade
Hole in your Heart where the Blackest Furies Rage
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE-
THROUGH THE RING OF PAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE, I AM BORN AGAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE-
THROUGH THE RING OF PAIN
THROUGH THE RING OF FIRE, I AM BORN AGAIN
Hope is Rising with the Sound of our Glory
We will see where we lie
3. Invictus
I sing of Power, Magick and Faith
A Sonnet of Pure Victory
A Hymn to the Spirits of Freedom and Grace
And whichever Gods there may be . . .
Manacled, Beaten, Blackened and
Burned Cast from the
Light of the Goal I'll never falter, stumble or kneel
Thanks to the strength of my Soul
Lashed by the Winds of Fate
Stung by the Gods of Hate
I'm Rising in Power,
I'm Rising Unchained Call this a
Sacred Vow All that I tell you now I may be
Bloody, but I am unbowed I am Power
Harken the Hour,
Season and Day Phantom of Dark Misery
Summon your Demons,
Hunger and Hate Spirit of Impurity Ravaged by
Fire, stripped and enslaved
Torn from the World that I know I'll never cry out,
buckle or kneel I am the King of my Soul
Stung by the Gods of Wrath
Blinded by Circumstance
I'm Rising in Power,
I'm Rising Unchained
All that I tell you now
Sure as a Sacred Vow I may be
Bloody, but I am unbowed
Die, fall on your Sword, fall on your knees
Die like your
Son nailed to his tree
Die by my Hand, die by my Sword
Right on this Site,
Vultures defile
Die, fall on your Sword,
fall on your knees Die in the
Sun nailed to these trees
Die by my Hand, die in my
Heart Flung from the Heights, forever fall
I sing of Power,
Magick and Might A Sonnet of Pure Victory
A Hymn to the Fearless, the Savage, the Brave
The Spirit of our Liberty
Total my debts, tally my sins, charge each offence on my
Scroll I'll never alter the course of my
Steele, I am the King of my Soul
Lashed by the Winds of Fate
Stung by the Gods of Hate
I'm Rising in Power through
Murdering Rain Stronger than Faith allows
Braver than Hero's Vows My Head is Bloody,
but I am unbowed
I AM POWER, POWER ! ! ! ! ! ! !
4. Crown of Glory (Unscarred) (In Fury mix)
Bury me beside the endless sea, raise my ashes to the wind
Remember things I conquered in my time, quench my funeral
pyre with wine
Open your eyes and see me, running faster, running far
Open your heart and feel me, catch the light beyond the stars
Flesh and blood affirm the freedoms gain,
Are we born to live again?
I'll never die while the light races over my head,
I can see where we are
I will defy no respite from the challenge of war,
Crown of Glory Unscarred
Gaze at the sun unblinking, go where only eagles dare
Strike now while life is in you,
before the darkness eats your soul
Touch me now and feel your strength return,
speak the word within the word
I'll never die while the light races over my head,
I cansee where we are
Why must you cry for the life you are leaving behind,
Crown of Glory Unscarred
What was forbidden now is open,
the Golden Apples of the Sun
All that's alive consider Holy, Holy, Holy,
Body and Soul are reconciled
And Heaven and Hell remember their love,
and every road leads me to you
To Truth
I'm watching you now, I'm watching the signs,
I watch as the old false reason dies,
I see with new sight the infinite night,
drunk on the Wine of Paradise
I challenge the Nine in Heaven divine, the Crown and the
Glory all are mine
No longer denied with Eve as my bride the doors to the
Kingdom open wide
And every End is a Biginning, Victory waits within the fire.
I'll never die while the light races over my head,
I can see where we are
I will defy no respite from the Phantoms of War Crown of
Glory Unscarred
Bury me beside the endless sea, raise my ashes to the wind ...
5. Kingdom of the Fearless (The Destruction of Troy)
No Country, no Law, no Religion, no more
No God, no Light, no Power, this Night
Lord Priam you stand Horizons once Grand
I Slay, I Crush your Towers to Dust
Broken under Lash and Sword, on the Black Horizon Shine your Graves
KINGDOM OF THE FEARLESS-Kingdom of Gods
Light up the Sky, Light up the World as we run
KINGDOM OF THE FEARLESS-Kingdom of Gods
Light up the Sky, Burning the World as we run
Great Violence withstands the Blood commands
The Angel of Death, Black Wings caress
Your Kingdom of Lies, Immortal Youth dies
A Lion of Ruin, a Whirlwind of Doom
Broken under Lash and Sword, on this Dark Horizon Shine your Graves
KINGDOM OF THE FEARLESS-Kingdom of Gods
Light up the Sky, Light up the World as we run
KINGDOM OF THE FEARLESS-Kingdom of Gods
Light up the Sky, Burning the World as we
Ride down the Centuries into the Sun
Cursing the Dark, cursing the Light
Bronze wielding Sons of War, Fame Forged in Fear
I will be there, I will not cower
Flames of Violence soothe the Breast of Honour Burned
Into the Valley, into the Valley we cry again!!!
Die... to Kill... Your Daughter's now mine
Your?re Flesh for the worms
In Bondage you weep/my Hatred will never die
Cry... the Blood Burns Black... in Fury
I will Fear no Man, for I am a God!!!
No Country, no Law, no Religion, for sure!
No Life, no Faith, no Quarter, Death waits
Lost Season in Shame, your People in Chains
For Honour, for Zeus, for Xenia, for Truth
To the Underworld advance, or the Dark Ships waiting
Cry your last!
KINGDOM OF THE FEARLESS-Kingdom of Gods
Light up the Sky, Light up the World as we run
KINGDOM OF THE FEARLESS-KINGDOM OF GODS
Light up the Sky, Light up the World as we
Ride like Thunder down from the Plains
Over the Mountains Bronze Shield and Flame
None can withstand Hatred Un-Masked
In Blood shall pay!!!
I kill you all... die, by the Blood of the Gods
By the Blood on my Sword... you sleep in Hell
DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!!!!
6. The Spirit of Steele (acoustic version)
Lords of light, cold lords of darkness
Behold the power I now pass over
My son this steele, is life and death and spirit...
From my hands into your hands
The true sword of kings
I now pass on
My father's father wore it
And thy father bore it
Saviour of kings
Salvation rings
Wield it in strenght, in pride and honour forever...
Take my hand, we'll leave this land
Far, far away, Asgard awaits
Gods and angels call us from the bridge of time
Homeward we ride into the sea
When life is done, my name will live on...
Forever, forever...
7. A Symphony of Steele (Battle mix)
Magick speaks with tongues of Fire, Fortune take my hand
Iron pounding dongs of Glory, Soaring on command
Screaming I rejoin the fray
Take me where the thunder walks, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Take my where the falcon flies, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Sound the trumpet, crack the mountain, let the arrow fly
Through the land of Lamentation, let the tidings fly
Mercury, the God and I
[*]-Take me where the thunder walks, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Take me where the falcon flies, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
Spark the ashes, free the temple, stem the crimson tide
Toll the bells of Freedom souting
Praise for those who've died
Wield the Sword of Destiny
[*]
A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
If passion denies you, don't die on your knees
Fight with a vengeance what weakness decrees
The Wrath of the Tempest, the cries of the slain
Tragic in splendor, in death you are free
I follow the Sign, bring on the sound of thunder,
bring on the rain
Spirit of Dark Enchantment remember my name!!!
[*]
A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
[* x 2]
A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
A SYMPHONY OF STEELE
8. The Burning of Rome (Cry for Pompeii)
Far from paradise
Where the winds of war
Are blowing freely
In my tired eyes
Run the bloody hosts
Of Ares' slaughter
Face to face- with fear and death and hate
Time to say goodbye- draw your last breath
For I conquer
When I die
In your arms
One child born
To carry on
Darling don't delay
For they're rushing
From a thousand thrones now
Cry another day
When the memory
Brings you back the vision
Tonight I die- but my life is in you
On my way- but I want to touch you, want to love you...
When I die
In your arms
One child born
To carry on
[Chorus:]
One nation, one kingdom, one child survives
One nation, one kingdom, one child survives
I'll meet you again through the eyes of our son
Remember to tell him the price we had to pay
And cry for Pompeii- cry for pompeii!
[Repeat first strophe]
When I die
In your arms
One child born
To carry on
[Chorus]
I'll meet you again through the eyes of our son
I'll return
Open the gates, I'm coming home tonight
Black tears will fall and the flames will crack the sky
Oh I see you cry...
I'm calling you... open... I'm coming home...
9. I Will Come for You
Under tortured skies from a land with no sun
I will come for you
From Seven points of Darkness
beyond the mountains and the ruins
I will come for you
Across the Fields of Rage and Yearning
with Power in my hand
I will return, I will return
Once we had beauty our Sun blazcd in passion
We lived alive
Far from the reaching of closed minded preaching
We lived and died
Now all in darkness we wait for the end,
hunted by men of the cloth
Murder and torture, they rape and they slaughter
claiming thr Way of the Cross
Cast out from Eden baptized inta treason
with sighless eyes
lost clouds of reason, false hope burning season
a godless lie
whose god is stronger, who's made by its hand
primitive blood stains the sand
murder and torture they're raping your daughter
drunk with the blood of the lamb
fair child of the desolation cry to me,
under stars that have died
under skies of pain we are born
yea we are born, forever we'll be
oh my love I'll defy death and meet on holy ground
[repeat verse one]
Now like the sun, like the wind and the rain
I'll return like a storm, I will rise once again
'cross the oceans of time I am called by your voice
I'll return, I will return!!

11. Noble Savage (early mix)
Animal, grace in form and power
Dignity, a conscious thought
The judgement hour
To live in honor
Quoting freedom's name
A noble stance
Bearing a proudful mane
Noble savage!
Hope is born, a changeling dawn
Bringing strange power
Transform, change form
Blend mind and matter
A voice of reason crying in the dark
A raging fire from a spark
Breathe through me
[Chorus:]
I'm a savage, I'm a king
I fought deceivers
I conquered evil
Animal, grace in form and power
Dignity,a conscious thought
The judgement hour
A voice of reason crying in the dark
A divine vision from the heart
Breathe through me
[Chorus]
Innocent eyes, shine down on me
Don't, don't, don't blind your eyes to me
I'm here with you
Always, again today
Can you feel me?
I'm with you
Never, never surrender
Oh, the power, the glory is yours
My kingdom, on high, again
Can you see?
I'm with you now...
12. Mists of Avalon
There's a place of gold not far away
I'ts across the Sky, Land of Mist and Ice
I Will Come For You...
If you're not there, with your Velvet Cloak
And your long dark hair...shining..
I'll wait now for no one but you
I'll steal the sun, I'll shine it for your pain
Come to me arms entwined in Golden Mist
To walk again the Sunless Halls and Crystal Caves
Beyond...Avalon...Avalon...Avalon
I'll wait forever my...child...
I'll wait now for no one but you
I'll steal the sun, I'll shine it for your pain
Come to me arms entwined in Golden Mist
We will dwell forevermore in Crystal Caves
Beyond...Avalon...Avalon...Avalon
There's a place of gold not far away
In the Fields of Grace you long to stay...Shining...
13. Emalaith
This is the land of my beginning,
these are the mountains of my birth
Dark with the blood of desecration,
oh where is she who is my pride
EMELAITH
I hear the Weeping of the Spirits,
dark wings of hated fill the world
I know she's waiting out there somewhere,
beyond the shadows of my eyes
EMALAITH
Is there a Life Among these Ruins,
the charred remains of all my kind
Stung by the Sword of Retribution,
I swear an oath where they have died
I will return to wreak my Vengeance,
let Heaven grant what love does seek
Alive without a breath, reach for the Thorns ofDeath,
a shadow falls
Before my eyes
EMALAITH dies alone in the night,
lost like a child she leaves me
Scars on the wind to hold me inside,
tomorrow belongs to never
I'll tear the walls of Erebus down.
Child of the Desolation, cry to me under stars that have died,
Under skies of Pain we are born.
Ooh yeah, we are one, forever we'll be
Oh my love, we'll defy Death and meet on Holy Ground.
After the darkest treason I, I will arise again !!!
EMALAITH dies alone in the night,
a kiss on the wind she leaves me
Out in the fields where everything dies,
will we be lost forever?
From death and darkness love was born, and love survived
and created Light.
Behold the Kingdom of the Fearless,
who holds the Seven Points ofNight?
Where is the hope of absolution,
beyond the shadow of my sight?
I hear the Weeping of the Spirits,
dark wings of hatred rule the world
But I will rise again, pierced by the Thorns of Death,
beyond the shadow of their eyes.
EMALAITH'S mine, asoul infinite,
the promise of peace is never
The Secret of Death if ours to possess, ours will endure forever
I see the answer burn in your eyes, across the wasteland,
Death into Life
The mighty Spirits crystalize, TheCrown of Glory,
onward we ride !!!
Beyond the shadows of the skies, waiting for the light, It's
over all is gone, Shadows of Mourning ...
