1. Rock On, Roll Out
We’re running wild and fast on the highway to success
Full power on the run, we ain’t got time to rest
Freeway we’re riding in takes you up until you blast
Farewell to peaceful days, now we’re out there in the mess!
Out there we’ll burn the fuse, lighting out the wilderness
Like warriors of faith, won’t you take a ride with us?
Full power on the drums with the guitars yelling lust
Of rising thunder roars, the redemption from the rust
Rock On, Roll Out
Until you’re breaking
Rock On, Roll Out
That’s what we’re making
The time as come at last to unlock the cage you live in
The rage that eats your soul is the energy we’re screaming
No one can tame the force that irradiates from you
Just shout it out so loud
So they’ll be as mad as you
A frightful row from the riff raff breaks it all
That gives the power that we need to blow the wall
We’ve taken hold of them
Now we’re on our own at last
Just pump this rock machine with steam of evil quests
Rock On, Roll Out
Until you’re breaking
Rock On, Roll Out
That’s what we’re making
A frightful row from the riff raff breaks it all
That gives the power that we need to blow the wall
We’ve taken hold of them
Now we’re on our own at last
Just pump this rock machine with steam of evil quests
Rock On, Roll Out
Until you’re breaking
Rock On, Roll Out
That’s what we’re making
Rock On, Roll Out
Until you’re breaking
Rock On, Roll Out
That’s what we’re making
2. Exodus
Fifty thousand people
On the road, hungry
They’ve left ages ago their countryside
Always on the run, fear is on the loose
Their enemies behind them
There was no way to choose
Coming from the mountains, through the desert’s sand
Hundreds of children died, hundreds of foreign lands
And their hopes left behind, oh so sad
Once they were so proud
Now, that’s all dead
Their enemies behind them,
Hate, fear and blood
Once in silver and gold
Now there’s only mud
Coming from the mountains, through the desert’s sand
Hundreds of children died, hundreds of foreign lands
Looking for a new home
Where to start
The dreams they once had,
Are still in their hearts
There’s no much more strength to fight
But still, oh still, still they go ahead
Coming from the mountains, through the desert’s sand
Hundreds of children died, hundreds of foreign lands
Where can it lead this endless road?
Where can it lead this hopeless road?
When will they rise out from the mud?
Where can it lead, where can it lead?
3. Demon Rider
A time as come
When a flame that would rise
Set fire to a wood
A pyre of hanger
A rebel rise
Once hardly smashed
Ten times stronger it grew
The rage within the fear
Revenger’s flame
The end for you
Demon Rider
It’s on the loose
Demon Rider
You are on your own again
Demon Rider
It’s on the loose
Demon Rider
Back for you again
And a rebel shall rise
The fire of anger
All those you bleed
Your people’s need
Hold on to dreams
Of a kingdom you’ve built
On blood, abuse and death
Ruler unwise
Your people rise
Demon Rider
It’s on the loose
Demon Rider
You are on your own again
Demon Rider
It’s on the loose
Demon Rider
Back for you again
All the ghosts you saw around
Facing you, unreal menace
Break you down
And so you die!
“The blade of fate…an axe victim
I rule my land…I am the King!
Lay down your weapons, your power
4. Nightmare
Many times I have wonder
If my life as any mean
Why should I keep living in a dream?
Do you realise all I have given up for you?
I know that love’s unwise
But I thought your love was true.
That your eyes expressed all the love you felt inside
And that kiss you asked for
Was for love that would still grow.
Many girls I have loved,
Some of them I thought forever
But I have never felt this ever
Feeling free was easy,
Easy was to say goodbye.
Now that you’ve deceived me
I got no wings left to fly…
I got no wings left to fly…
I got no wings left to fly…
5. Lusitania
Outstanding will, aching for the sea
Those who wrote the Course
From need and dream, who made history
In water lie, with fire signed
With blessed wood defying all
The fears and myths
To seek abundance, oblivion and glory
To spread the Word, to rule!
Sail, sail!
Your faith and honour will prevail
Sail!
Ruler of the seas.
Amazing epopee, the compliment of gods
Yet to be equalled
The trails of greatness to follow overseas
Sacraments of blood…
This port of sailing they left in hope and dread
To built and burn
A race of conquerors, the tyranny of dreams
To teach and learn.
Sail, sail!
Your faith and honour
Will prevail
Sail!
Ruler of the Seas.
“A sacred mission
on our hands in our hearts
we’ll bring them light
we’ll save those misguided souls
So far is the distance
That must be crossed
The word they spirits ache for
Oh pacifier fountain!
The fire in their eyes
The fire in their eyes
Will die now, die now
We watch them bleed
With fire in their eyes”
“These lands so vast
the magnitude of dreams
we stand, the lords and masters
still many more lie there in offer
our flag’s the pen
that’s writing in the wind
our feats of arms and conquests
the strength, the cross, the slaughter.
With fire in our eyes,
With fire in our eyes
And we die, now, die, now
We watch us bleed
With fire in our eyes”
“My Fatherland, how many years ago?
The feast of fame and fortune
Didn’t leave but wounds and sorrow
Too many places
Too much to conquer
My body gasps with sickness
And still I see them coming
With fire in their eyes
With fire in their eyes
And we will die, now, die, now
We watch the bleeding
With fire in our eyes”
6. The Call and the Crash (All Men Stand Still)
Ascending out from the fields
Many flames will burn again tonight
The helmets shining in glamour
And the shields so clean and bright
Sounds of iron
Breath of horses
Battle signs
Shining armours
Gloves of leather
Warrior’s minds
Cold eyes, the sharp look of steel
Pointing straight to the morning’s fog
The day will soon be reborn
With the first bite from the raging dogs
Sounds of pain
Song of death
They reclaim
Metal’s kiss
Fire’s lick
Is their aim
All men stand still
Waiting for the battle call
Still they know not
How many heads will fall
(repeat)
Sunrise, the call to the axe
To the hammer, to the sword,
They draw
A thought to the gods that they pray to
“Let your strength guide me in this war
Fill this valley with blood
From the weak
To the strong
The reward that they seek”
This day will be well remembered
In their hymns the poets will sing
To Odin they offer their souls
The immortals won’t kiss Hela’s ring
“From this moment
In thy hands we are given
Holy field, in thy bosom
We shall rise!”
All men stand still
Waiting for the battle call
Still they know not
How many heads will fall
(repeat)
BEATS THE DRUM
SOUNDS THE TRUMPET
TO THE BATTLE!
7. Star Riders
I have listened to the voices in the wind
Sounds of mystery with the message they bring
Curse of metal brought from strange and blinding light
Signs of power from the heights
Born like the steel
That was meant to be strong
Strong is the arm
Arm that is long
Reach out the lands
That are found through the space
Taken by force with those who dare to face
The
Star riders
Chasing planets far they do
Riding
Like a thunder across the blue
Live like the hunter
That is ruthless to kill
Searching the catch
Catch that they will
Fist like a rock
Devastating as tool
Rising so high
Commanding their rule
Star riders
Chasing planets far they do
Riding
Like a thunder across the blue
Solo & Chorus
Fly like the eagle
Run like the wolf
Spreading their legend
That is fearless and rough
They soon will come
Oh warriors of Death
Fight to the last man
‘til the last breath
Star riders
Chasing planets far they do
Riding
Like a thunder across the blue
Fight for glory,
Die so easily
Will they ever live in peace?
And their children, do they know what they miss?
Every time they leave alone
Leaving only blood behind
If back home that was what they would find?
Would they mind?
Star riders
Chasing planets far they do
Riding
Like a thunder across the blue
8. Old Man
Old man
Your life is upon your shoulders
The saddest thing that looks outside
Behind your fading eyes
Old days
That coming back, are painful
Forgotten once when life was hope
Keep burning out your soul
Like the ashes of your dead
Cracking slowly, endlessly
All those presences you had
Simple tears in the sea
You feel
The flame that fades away
The gift of life a weight you bear
And won’t carry no more
Old man, you’re on your own
This world is not your home
Old man, you’ll be alone
Going home
Your life
Wasted without profit
A bet too high against the fate
You thought you knew so well
Sad tale
With nobody to listen
Why look ahead, tomorrow’s just
An empty page that’s missing
Grief can change to irony
With the burden of the years
Anger is the sanctuary
Where you sacrifice your fears
You’ve learn
The most sour of lessons
To lose the smile and still keep laughing
On and on and on…
Old man, you’re on your own
This world is not your home
Old man, you’ll be alone
Going home
Old man
Old age now is against you
The deepest thing we see inside
Your pale and closing eyes
Your days
Quickly passing by
And while your time is running out
There’s nothing to old on to
In the night you lay awake
In the silence fearing death
Will come treacherously to take you
You’re afraid of your own breath
No one
Would notice your departure
Six feet of clay with just a number
The story of your life
Old man, you’re on your own
This world is not your home
Old man, you’ll be alone
Going home…
9. Alkateya
You’ve been walking for days, now
All is white and dreadful clean
The coldness touches you
With a blade that cuts your skin
All that’s left now is pain
Fear and solitude
And you feel like you’ve been framed
By that mortal quietude
There’s a spooky howl that freezes you
And you feel like you’re not alone
Then you turn…in front of you
There one lies upon a stone!
-------------- / /----------------
Like the flight of an arrow
As the stroke of a sword
Over dim and distant barrow
In your Soul and forward
Through your bones, through your blood
With a warmth that is cold
Coming always stronger
Strikes you like a thunder
All alone in the snow
White and clean, soon in red
Your heart is about to blow
This will be your last bed
Patiently they have wait
Silently followed you
Now you’re weak and at their mercy
In their eyes victory
Here they come quietly
In each step there’s a treat
There’s no way to escape
You just wait and you sweat
Through the clouds comes the dawn
In the dark shining bright
It’s a new day coming in
But for you endless night!!
10. Face to Face (We Are One)
Face to face we face our faces
Standing face to face
We’re together we’re united
We’re each other’s face
Side to side one to another
Sweat is on our face
Heart to heart one to the other
Far beyond this place
Face to face the voices sing
The fists hang high above
Fifty thousand faces screaming out the words
FACE TO FACE WE STAND
WE ARE ONE!
FACE TO FACE AND LET OUR VOICES REACH THE SUN
Face to face our faces face
The one and only face
We’re united by one song
The sound that fills the space
Out of sweat and screaming faces
We will make a stand
Flesh to flesh one to another
We give out this command
Face to face our voices sing
The fists hang high above
Fifty thousand faces screaming out the words
FACE TO FACE WE STAND
WE ARE ONE!
FACE TO FACE AND LET OUR VOICES REACH THE SUN
All our faces now
Singing loud’ n’ proud
Fifty thousand faces
Fifty thousand more will follows us! Now!!
