 1. Call to Arms
 
 When they see us they will run for their lives
 To the end they will pay for their lies
 So long did we wait now we are home
 
 Here once again there's a battle to fight
 Gathered together for the sound and the might
 So long did we wait now we are home
 
 Now we will fight for the kingdom fighting with steel
 Kill all of them their blood is our seal
 Fight till the last of the enemy is dead
 Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed
 
 I now issue the call are you ready to fight
 Fight all together as one for the right
 To be free once again tonight we will win
 
 I can see by the look that you have in your eyes
 You came here for metal to fight and die die
 Defenders of steel now we are home
 
 Fight for the kingdom bound for glory
 Armed with a heart of steel
 And I swear by the brothers who stand before me
 To no man shall I kneel
 Their blood is upon my steel
 Blood is upon my steel
 
 Fight for the kingdom fighting with steel
 Kill all of them their blood is our seal
 Fight till the last of the enemy is dead
 Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed
 
 I now issue the call are you ready to fight
 Fight all together as one for the right
 To be free once again tonight we will win
 
 I can see by the look that you have in your eyes
 You came here for metal to fight and die die
 Defenders of steel now we are home
 
 Fight for the kingdom bound for glory
 Armed with a heart of steel
 And I swear by the brothers who stand before me
 To no man shall I kneel
 Their blood is upon my steel
 Blood is upon my steel
 
 
 
 
 2. The Fight for Freedom
 
 There's a sound it's heard across the land
 It's heard across the sea
 You'll only hear it if you listen with your heart
 And one day hope to be free
 
 To hear the sound of freedom many gave their lives
 They fought for you and me
 Those memories will always live inside us
 Now it's our time to be free
 
 Where the eagles fly I will soon be there
 If you want to come along with me my friend
 Say the words and you'll be free
 From the mountains to the sea
 We'll fight for freedom again
 
 So ring out loud for all the world to hear
 From sea to shining sea
 Let freedom ring and every man be king
 To live as one through the years
 
 Where the eagles fly I will soon be there
 If you want to come along with me my friend
 Say the words and you'll be free
 From the mountains to the sea
 We'll fight for freedom again
 
 Now's the time we all must stand together
 So raise your hands show them we are strong
 Side by side the fight goes on forever
 Marching to the battle with this song
 
 Where the eagles fly I will soon be there
 If you want to come along with me my friend
 Say the words and you'll be free
 From the mountains to the sea
 We'll fight for freedom again
 
 
 
 
 3. Nessun Dorma
 
 Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
 Tu pure, o Principessa,
 nella tua fredda stanza
 guardi le stelle
 
 che tremano d'amore
 e di speranza!
 
 Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me,
 il nome mio nessun saprà!
 No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò,
 quando la luce splenderà!
 Ed il mio bacio scioglierà
 il silenzio che ti fa mia!
 
 Dilegua, o notte!
 Tramontate, stelle!
 Tramontate, stelle!
 All'alba vincerò!
 
 Vincerò! Vincerò
 
 
 
 
 4. Valhalla
 
 
 
 
 5. Swords in the Wind
 
 I surrender my soul Odin hear my call
 One day I'll sit beside your throne in Valhalla's great hall
 Like so many before me I'll die with honor and pride
 The right of a warrior forever to fight by your side
 
 Send a sign raise the sail wave a last goodbye
 Destiny is calling immortality be mine
 Call the witch to cast the runes, weave a magic spell
 We who die in battle are born not for heaven not for hell
 
 We are Sons of Odin the fire we burn inside
 Is the legacy of warrior kings who reign above in the sky
 I will lead the charge my sword into the wind
 Sons of Odin fight to die and live again
 Viking ships cross the sea, in cold wind, and rain
 Sail into the black of night magic stars our guiding light
 
 Today the blood of battle upon my weapons will never dry
 Many I'll send into the ground laughing as they die
 We are Sons of Odin the fire we burn inside
 Is the legacy of warrior kings who reign above in the sky
 
 I will lead the charge my sword into the wind
 Sons of Odin fight to die and live again
 Viking ships cross the sea, in cold wind, and rain
 Sail into the black of night magic stars our guiding light
 
 Place my body on a ship and burn it in the sea
 Let my spirit rise Valkries carry me
 Take me to Valhalla where my brothers wait for me
 Fires burning to the sky my spirit will never die
 
 I will lead the charge my sword into the wind
 Sons of Odin fight to die and live again
 Viking ships cross the sea, in cold wind, and rain
 Sail into the black of night magic stars our guiding light
 
 
 
 
 6. An American Trilogy
 
 Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
 Old times they are not forgotten
 Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
 
 Oh I wish I was in Dixie away, away
 In Dixieland I'll take my stand
 To live and die in Dixie
 
 In Dixieland where I was born
 Early Lord one frosty morn
 Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
 
 Glory, glory, hallelujah
 Glory, glory, hallelujah
 Glory, glory, hallelujah
 His truth is marching on
 
 So hush little baby
 Don't you cry
 You know your daddy's bound to die
 But all my trials Lord will soon be over
 
 Glory, glory, hallelujah
 His truth is marching on!
 His truth is marching on!
 
 
 
 
 7. The March
 
 
 
 
 8. Warriors of the World United
 
 Here our soldiers stand from all around the world
 Waiting in a line to hear the battle cry
 All are gathered here victory is near
 The sound will fill the hall bringing power to us all
 
 We alone are fighting for metal that is true
 We own the right to live the fight we're here for all of you
 Now swear the blood upon your steel will never dry
 Stand and fight together beneath the metal sky
 
 Brothers Everywhere
 Raise you hands into the air
 We're warriors
 Warriors of The World
 Like thunder from the sky
 Sworn to fight and die
 We're warriors
 Warriors of The World
 
 Many stand against us but they will never win
 We said we would return and here we are again
 To bring them all destruction suffering and pain
 We are the hammer of the Gods we are thunder wind and rain
 
 There they wait in fear with swords in feeble hands
 With dreams to be a King first one should be a man
 I call them out and charge them all with a life that is a lie
 And in their final hour they shell confess before they die
 
 Brothers Everywhere
 Raise you hands into the air
 We're warriors
 Warriors of The World
 Like thunder from the sky
 Sworn to fight and die
 We're warriors
 Warriors of The World
 
 If i should fall in battle my brothers who fight by my side
 Gather my horse and weapons tell my family how i died
 Until then i will be strong I will fight for all that is real
 All who stand in my way will die by steel
 
 Brothers Everywhere
 Raise you hands into the air
 We're warriors
 Warriors of The World
 
 
 
 
 9. Hand of Doom
 
 Hands of doom are reaching out to crush all infidels who stray
 Time to know the pain, but no time to run within
 And these hands you see before you will end the light of day
 Your ashes will be cast into the wind
 
 Your blood's upon the soil, your body fed to wolves
 Not one of you will be left alive
 Hear the sound pounding and the army of the night
 By the hammer of Thor you now shall die
 
 Tonight we strike, there is thunder in the sky
 Together we'll fight, some of us will die
 We'll always remember that we made a stand
 And many will die by my hand
 
 We are high atop a mountain with hammers in the wind
 Lusting for blood and death again
 In a flash of lightning strike
 Now the house of death invites you, body and soul to come within
 
 I see the fear you have inside you can run but never hide
 I will hunt you down and tear you limb from limb
 Nothing shall remain not your memory, your name
 It will be as though you never, ever lived
 
 Tonight we strike, there is thunder in the sky
 Together we'll fight, some of us will die
 We'll always remember that we made a stand
 Many will die by my hand
 They will die...
 High atop a mountain with hammers in the wind
 Lusting for blood and death again
 In a flash of lightning strike
 Now the house of death invites you, body and soul to come within
 
 I see the fear you have inside you can run but never hide
 I will hunt you down and tear you limb from limb
 Nothing shall remain not your memory, your name
 It will be as though you never, ever lived
 
 Tonight we strike, there is thunder in the sky
 Together we'll fight, some of us will die
 But we'll always remember that we made a stand
 And many will die by my hand
 They will die, by my hand.....they will die...
 
 
 
 
 10. House of Death
 
 Blood and thunder mix with rain
 Into the kingdom of darkness again
 Lightning flash, my body in flames
 All shall knee at the sound of my name
 
 My path is set, I live with no regret
 I am sworn to kill, never to forget
 No road back, I never will return
 Into the fire of hell I will burn and die
 Die! Die! Die!
 Into the house of death
 Die! Die!
 Into the fire of hell
 
 Army of the heavens
 My army waits in hell
 To battle on the earth
 For all the souls who fell
 
 I will not go unto my death alone
 Seven gates to pass until I reach my home
 Across the bridge of death
 Beyond the gates of light
 Into the heart of darkness
 Into the black of night
 No road back, I never will return
 Into the fire of hell I will burn and die
 Die! Die! Die!
 Into the house of death
 Die! Die!
 Into the fire of hell
 
 Unto the darkness
 I command my soul
 Never shall I repent
 Never shall I be saved
 
 I´ll go into the house of death
 Before my last breath
 My enemies all shall die
 Die! Die! Die!
 Into the house of death
 Die! Die!
 Into the fire of hell
 
 
 
 
 11. Fight Until We Die
 
 When they come I'll be ready
 I hear their voices inside
 The stars in the heavens are moving
 Soon they will align
 
 Thor, god of thunder
 Let me die with a sword in my hand
 
 Raise your hands
 Swords in the wind
 Brothers of metal together again
 With blood in our voices we ride
 We'll fight unttil we win
 or we'll fight until we die
 
 Gods of Thunder, Fire and Rain
 Cut into the earth till´ none shall remain
 Sons of demons I command you to fly
 Ride up from hell into the sky
 We'll fight until we die
