 1. Templars Of Steel
 
 The hands of time have brought you here
 to make a change, to break down the walls
 You are the ones and you are the only
 trying to live by your own goals
 
 And you all cry for freedom
 Raise your fists to the sky
 
 Let your voice speak for the revolution
 All join forces with all the powers that you feel
 Let your heart beat for the revolution
 Led by the Templars of Steel
 
 Let´s spread the word of the sole survivors
 with metal pounding inside their souls
 The fire burns, and it will forever
 blaze for the ones who stands strong
 
 And you all cry for freedom
 with your fists in the sky
 
 Let your voice speak for the revolution
 All join forces with all the powers that you feel
 Let your heart beat for the revolution
 Led by the Templars of Steel
 You are the Templars of Steel
 
 Oh, oh, oh ...
 
 Let your voice speak for the revolution
 All join forces with all the powers that you feel
 Let your heart beat for the revolution
 Led by the Templars of Steel
 
 Let your voice speak for the revolution
 All join forces with all the powers that you feel
 Let your heart beat for the revolution
 Led by the Templars of Steel
 You are the Templars of Steel
 
 
 
 
 2. Keep The Flame Burning
 
 Standing at the crossroads, were the future meets the past
 Oh can´t you feel, there´s magic in the air
 We´re noble knights and mighty men, with the power to assay
 Faithful and true, let our deeds show you the way
 Glorious, we live and we die
 Our courage will unite
 
 In our hands we hold the future, carry on
 In our hearts, eternally, we Keep The Flame Burning
 
 Hear the sound of roaring thunder, and the sound of raging steel
 In the battle of thrust our sprits will reveal
 
 
 Glorious, we´d rather die
 with honour than to live with shame
 
 In our hands we hold the future, carry on
 In our hearts, eternally, we keep the flame...
 burning deep inside forever, shining on
 And in our hearts for all eternity we Keep The Flame Burning
 
 We stay as we are, now the first crusade is won
 Let it be written, let it be done
 
 In our hands we hold the future, carry on
 In our hearts, eternally, we keep the flame...
 burning deep inside forever, shining on
 And in our hearts for all eternity we Keep The Flame Burning
 
 
 
 
 3. Renegade
 
 See the outlaw stands alone beneath the burning sun
 The raging badlands now is his home
 There's no sign of victory, he lost his liberty
 and the only woman that he loved
 
 An outlaw chasing outlaws, a runner in the night
 By the radiant moon he will strike
 The seeker of all dangers has come to take his toll
 From the dead of night he will arise
 
 Renegade, Renegade
 Committed the ultimate sin
 Renegade, Renegade
 This time the prowler will win
 
 He stalks in shadow lands, soundless, with gun in hand
 Striking like a reptile, so fierce
 No chance to get away, no time for your last prayer
 When the prowler sneaks up from behind
 
 An outlaw chasing outlaws, the hunter takes his pray
 The law of the jungle he obeys
 Craving for the danger to even out the scores
 Face to face, once and for all
 
 Renegade, renegade
 Committed the ultimate sin
 Renegade, renegade
 This time the prowler will win
 
 
 On through the night he rides, on his raging horse made of steel
 Nothing can save you now, before the renegade you will kneel
 
 Renegade, Renegade
 Committed the ultimate sin
 Renegade, renegade
 This time the prowler will win
 
 Renegade, Renegade
 Committed the ultimate sin
 Renegade, renegade
 This time the prowler will win
 
 
 
 
 4. Living In Victory
 
 Do you remember how we used to say
 Everything around us are made of clay
 We were the Kings and the others the fools,
 playing by our rules
 
 Adorned with golden shapes and silver dreams
 You count the seconds, every moment seems
 like your lost to the stars up above
 Eventhou you're falling
 
 Spoken words made of trust, burning bridges between us,
 turning diamonds into rust
 
 You're running out of time, the higher that you climb
 the deeper you will fall and lose sight of it all
 Out of time, on the line
 Living In Victory
 
 You spread your words, I say devoid of truth
 What's left is fantasy of endless youth
 You made a promise, a little white lie
 Now you're falling from the sky
 
 Chasing dragons by the moon, burning bridges around you,
 your deepest fears begin to loom
 
 You're running out of time, the higher that you climb
 the deeper you will fall and lose sight of it all
 Out of time, on the line
 Living In Victory
 
 Is it someone that hears you, is it somebody there
 All you know and all you will get, lie so deep down inside
 
 Dreams of fortune in the dust, when all your bridges are burnt,
 turning being into lust
 
 You're running out of time, the higher that you climb
 the deeper you will fall and lose sight of it all
 Out of time, on the line
 Living in sin
 
 Out of time, the higher that you climb
 the deeper you will fall and lose sight of it all
 Out of time, on the line
 Living In Victory
 Living In Victory
 
 
 
 
 5. Always Will Be
 
 Our sun is set, our day is done, I'm left here wondering
 Is this the end, my final words to you
 Day turned to night and now you're gone, I'm left here pondering
 Can this be true, are we really through
 
 You were the wind beneath my wings, taught me how to fly
 With you I lived among the kings, how could this ever die
 
 So I say farewell, I'm yours forever,
 and I Always Will Be
 
 We were one, we were all, we were the only
 Future full of hope, nothing could stand in our way
 But dreams can change, visions fall, I feel so lonely
 I would walk through fire for just one more day
 
 You were the angel of my life, taught me to be free
 Now I'm a stranger in your eyes, walls are closing in on me
 
 
 So I say farewell, I'm yours forever
 And I Always Will Be
 Missing you, in my heart you are The One
 And you Always Will Be
 
 When I turn to the east, I see no dawn,
 but after darkness comes the light
 And when I turn to the west, the silent night hides all
 Where is the light that shines so bright
 
 
 So I say farewell, I'm yours forever
 And I Always Will Be
 Missing you, in my heart you are The One
 And you Always Will Be
 
 Nah-nah-na ... and you Always Will Be
 Nah-nah-na ... and you Always Will Be
 And you Always Will Be
 my Little One you are
 And you Always Will Be
 
 
 
 
 6. The Way Of The Warrior
 
 Our time has come, get ready fight
 Sisters and brothers in metal unite
 The dreams that you had are about to come true
 The voice of the warrior is calling for you
 
 Turn your own deeds to his gracious glory,
 and he will make you see
 
 This is the way we want it to be
 This is The Way Of The Warrior
 This is the way we want it to be
 Walking the way, the honest will see
 Walking The Way Of The Warrior
 Walking the way, The Way Of The Warrior
 
 Blood-red the steel of our swords shall flow
 and by the allegiance we´re ready to go
 Stout are the foe, in warfare so bold
 Nothing can stop us, the future we hold
 
 Brace up, defend,
 never ever be outdone in bravery
 
 This is the way we want it to be
 This is The Way Of The Warrior
 This is the way we want it to be
 Walking the way, the honest will see
 Walking The Way Of The Warrior
 Walking the way, The Way Of The Warrior
 
 The saints and the sinners in battle so bright, as the forces of steel will unite
 The way of the warrior, the call of his life, shall lead us all into the light
 
 The metal crusade will conquer all
 Our bonds will be stronger, see the infidels fall
 Surrender your soul to the Gods of steel
 In the blood of the fallen the enemies kneel
 
 Turn your own deeds to his gracious glory,
 and he will make you see
 Brace up, defend,
 never ever be outdone in bravery
 
 This is the way we want it to be
 This is The Way Of The Warrior
 This is the way we want it to be
 Walking the way, the honest will see
 Walking The Way Of The Warrior
 Walking the way, The Way Of The Warrior
 
 This is the way we want it
 This is the way we need it
 This is The Way Of The Warrior
 
 This is the way we want it
 This is the way we need it
 This is The Way Of The Warrior
 This is the way
 
 
 
 
 7. Destined For Glory
 
 Once upon a time in a forlorn land,
 a man on a mission was left at fates hand
 In his eyes you could see the whites turn red
 Surrounded by evil, abandoned for dead
 
 Born on the run by the sign of the sun
 A mail-clad warrior, the chosen one
 His name's been cursed, he is bound to fail
 A wandering spirit with the will to prevail
 
 By the sign of the moon,
 he swore the oath to fight alone
 
 Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
 But fight without honor, and you're destined to fall
 
 He still can recall his father's words
 "Don't loose your faith, let your voice be heard"
 Echoes from the past will lead him on
 By these words of honor, shine like the sun
 
 By the sign of the moon
 He swore the oath to fight alone
 
 Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
 But fight without honor, and you're destined to fall
 Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
 But fight without soul and you will loose it all
 
 The prophecies spoke of a wandering man
 Skilled with steel, black as the night
 
 Normally veiled from the mortal eyes
 His hammer arose like a magic force
 With a gaze that turned everything into stone
 the warrior spoke, "I am the one"
 
 Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
 But fight without honor, and you're destined to fall
 Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
 But fight without soul and you will loose it all
 
 Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
 But fight without honor, and you're destined to fall
 Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
 But fight without soul and you will loose it all
 
 
 
 
 8. The Champion
 
 Gaze upon the stake,
 flames will soon start to embrace
 Condemned, auto da fé,
 she´s about to fall from grace
 
 In the land of the rising sun
 shadows are falling again
 The die is cast, the future and past
 coming to her at last
 
 Oh, oh, oh
 All she needed was a Champion
 Oh, oh, oh
 Crying for a saviour to fight for her life
 
 Behold, the freedom cries
 by the dying of the light
 Too late to justify
 for vindication upon this night
 
 In the land of the rising sun
 shadows are falling again
 From out of nowhere, a rider declared
 to answer her final prayer
 
 Oh, oh, oh
 He stood up to be the Champion
 Oh, oh, oh
 He became the saviour that fought for her life
 
 Face to face, eye to eye
 The saviour fought to save her pride
 Far beyond the starlit skies, the encounter went on
 
 Gaze upon the stake,
 as the flames start to embrace
 A life, an act of faith,
 long-lost gone without a trace
 
 In the land of the rising sun
 Shadows are falling again
 The die is cast for the future and past
 came for her at last
 
 Oh, oh, oh
 All she needed was a Champion
 Oh, oh, oh
 Crying for a saviour to fight for her
 
 Oh, oh, oh
 He stood up to be the Champion
 Oh, oh, oh
 He became the saviour that fought for her life

 10. A Legend Reborn
 
 You've been fighting for much to long
 You saw the future and what to come
 Restless spirits out on the run,
 among the shadows of the sun
 
 You are the rising resistance now
 We´ve come to show you a way somehow
 Beyond the past and in secrecy,
 we found it all, but we want more
 
 We come from the age of chivalry
 Metal machines, unchained and free
 We are hear for you to see
 
 Flying on wings of steel, thundering, we are breaking the seal
 Fighting for the oath we sworn, to spread the word of a Legend Reborn
 
 Moving silent like a gentle breeze
 We´re the troops of metal and we do as we please
 We are the restless, we are the wild,
 burning hearts that never die
 
 We are going against the tide
 The hammer has fallen, a thorn in your side
 Break the silence or take the fall
 The mighty Templars will take it all
 
 Welcome the age of chivalry,
 were we all will be set free
 It´s the time for you and me
 
 Flying on wings of steel, thundering, we are breaking the seal
 Fighting for the oath we sworn, to spread the word of a Legend Reborn
 
 Sons and brothers fight or fall
 With our sisters and daughters
 We´re standing one for all
 
 Flying on wings of steel, thundering, we are breaking the seal
 Fighting for the oath we sworn, to spread the word of a Legend Reborn
 
 Flying on wings of steel, thundering, we are breaking the seal
 Fighting for the oath we sworn, to spread the word of a Legend Reborn
