01. Coat Of Arms

That dawn, envoy arise!
Morning of Octover 28th
"No Day" proved by deeds
Descendants of Sparta, Athens and Crete!

Look now, ready to fight!
Enemies charge from the hills
To arms! Facing defeat
There's no surrender! There's no retreat!

Time after time force the enemy back to the line!

Coat of arms banners fly in the wind!
For the glory of Hellas!
Coat of arms bringing freedom of death!
Blood of king Leonidas!

Air raid! Pounding the land
bombers are flyn' both day and night
End you six days of reign!
Good bye invaders! Bomb raid in vain!

Strike hard! The tables have turned
Drive them back over the hills
At arms! Just like before!
Soldiers! Civilians! Hellas's at war!

By their own hand forced the enemy out of their land!

Coat of arms banners fly in the wind!
For the glory of Hellas!
Coat of arms bringing freedom of death!
Blood of king Leonidas!

Just like their ancestors ages ago
Fought in the face of defeat
Those three hundred men left a plight to uphold
Freedom or death in the fight

Then, now again,
Blood of heroes saving their land

Coat of arms banners fly in the wind!
For the glory of Hellas!
Coat of arms bringing freedom of death!
Blood of king Leonidas!

Coat of arms banners fly in the wind!
For the glory of Hellas!
Coat of arms bringing freedom of death!
Blood of king Leonidas!

02. Midway

Send them over the waves
Our sentinels
They report in the news
Position of our foes

This battlefield´s been choosen, tactically in advance
Time to alert our fighters
We´re soon in range

Midway
We'll meet at Midway
Naval War

Calling all men to deck
Got to be airborne
Head out into the sun
Decending on our foes

This is the crucial moment, in the heat of the war
To fly and hit our targets
Down in the waves

Midway
Display their might, ordering carriers, admirals at war
We'll meet at Midway
To win the fight, tactics are crucial, naval war

Far from shore, a pacific war
Bombs are falling from the skies
Its a bombrun day, it the naval way
A bloodred sun is on the rise

03. Uprising

Warsaw Rise!

Do you remember when,
When the Nazis forced their rule on Poland
1939 and the allies turned away
From the underground
Rose a hope of freedom as a whisper
City in despair, but they never lost their faith

Women, men and children fight
They were dying side by side
And the blood they shed upon the streets
Was a sacrifice willingly paid

Warsaw, city at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
1944 help that never came
Calling
Warsaw, city at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you
Warszawo, walcz!

Spirit, soul and heart
In accordance with the old traditions
1944 still the allies turn away
Fighting street to street
In a time of hope and desperation
Did it on their own and they never lost their faith

Women, men and children fight
They were dying side by side
And the blood they shed upon the streets
Was a sacrifice willingly paid

Warsaw, city at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
1944 help that never came
Calling
Warsaw, city at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you
Warszawo, walcz!

All the streetlights in the city
Broken many years ago
Break the curfew, hide in sewers
Warsaw, it's time to rise now

Warsaw, city at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
1944 help that never came
Calling
Warsaw, city at war
Voices from underground, whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you
Warszawo, walcz!

04. Screaming Eagles

Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Thunder is sounding, artilley pounding
Wrath of the nazis cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone

ALONE!

Sent from the skies jumped into the unknown
The march to Berlin has begun
Spearhead the charge surrounded by foes
Eagles are leading the way

France is still under enemy rule
Push, axis retreat

Thrown towards Arnhem a bitter defeat
They're stretched out just one bridge to far
Turn of the tide, it's breaking away
Losing momentum, retreat

Go to Bastogne, the crossroads must hold
Stand, alone in the cold

Dig your own foxholes or dig your own grave
The storm is about to begin
The seige has begun, there's nowhere to run
Panzerkampfwagen emerge

Tanks and mortars are shaking the ground
Prey of man and machine

Chill of the winter bite to the bone and christmas is drawing near
Soldiers are freezing, the death toll increasing
They're dying in their holes
There's no surrender there's no retreat, the wehrmacht is drawing near
There's no reinforcements they're fighting all alone

Sent from the skies ended up in Bastogne
As Easy, as hard as they get
Nazi command request and demand
Offered surrender - declined

Nuts! the generals word echo clear
Nuts! the nazi's shall hear

05. The Final Solution

Country in depression
Nation in despair
One man seeking reasons everywhere
Growing hate and anger
The Fuhrer's orders were precise
Who was to be blamed and pay the price!

Wicked propaganda
Turning neighbors into foes
Soldiers of the Third Reich searching homes
And then the former friends are watching
As they are rounded up one by one
Times of persecutions has begun

Ever since it started
On Crystal night of 38
When liberty died
And truth was denied
Sent away on train on a one-way trip to hell
Enter the gates - Auschwitz awaits!

When freedom burns
The final solution
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn
The curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames

There was a country in despair
There was a nation in recession
One man finding reasons everywhere
Then there was raising hate and anger
The Fuhrer's orders still apply
Who was to be blamed and send to die!

Ever since it started
On crystal night of 38
When liberty died
And truth was denied
Sent away on trains
sent on a one-way trip to hell
Enter the gates - Auschwitz awaits!

When freedom burns
The final solution
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn
The curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames

When freedom burns
The final solution
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn
The curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames

06. Aces In Exile

From near and far they arrived join the force
Ready to serve the Allies command
Sent in the training, though they already earned their wings
They were ready to flight they were fit for the fight
Once in the air the battle began
They've proven their worth they fight for revenge

Fighter pilots in exile fly for foreign land
To the story be heard tell of 303
Fighter pilots of Poland in the battle of Britain
Guarding the skies of the isle

Even at night shadows cover the ground
Fighting goes on from dusk till dawn
We fall on the Reich with the claws of the eagle!
(They were) Ready to fight, (they were) ready to die
Up in the air, the battle goes on
They've proven their worth they have their revenge

Fighter pilots in exile fly for foreign land
To the story again to the 310
Men of Czechoslovakia in the battle of Britain
Guarding the skies of the isle

Over the battlefield, brave man long way from home
You are the chosen ones, sent to the sky to die
Over the battlefield, brave man long way from home
You are the chosen ones, sent to the sky to die

(Ooo) fly - it echoes in history
Turning the tides in the heavens above

Fighter pilots in exile fly for foreign land
To battles been won to the 401
Fighter pilots of Canada in the battle of Britain
Guarding the skies of the isle

On wings of history they turn from home
To live eternally sky bound they roam
In our own history, never before
Was moral to so few

Fight the pilot in exile!

07. Saboteurs

Dropped on to the world of ice
A battle of frozen lakes
A nazi place of doom in their sights
Training camp on Scottish heights
To commando saboteurs
A mission of their lives lies ahead

Called in to serve
And they knew what to do
They were the heroes of the cold

Warrior soul, they signed a book of history
they played a leading role to win the 2nd war

Allied time was running short
They were raised against the bomb
And hours turned to days, and time passed on
As the nature test their strength
They would fight through night and day
To live the amongst the wild to stay alive

Heroes of the Telemark
Carry viking blood in vains
Warriors of the northern land
They'll live forever more

08. Wehrmacht

Pulled into war to serve a vision that's supposed to last a thousand years
Part of a machine unstoppable, as merciless as tidal waves

Were they the victims of the time, or proud parts of larger goals?
Propaganda of the reich masterful machine

Time and again the battle rages on beyond the gates of misery
As casualties rise and millions die around them did they see it all?

Crazy madmen on a leash, or young men who lost their way?
Grand illusions of the reich may seem real at times

Panzers on a line form the wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
What about the men executing orders?

Ad victoriam
Ex machina
Non sibi sed patriae

Pulled into war to serve a vision that just didn't last a thousand years
Part of a machine, though stoppable as merciless as tidal waves

09. White Death

Almost night, a crimson horizon, Painting a thousand legs red
As your army approach in the east, a panther is searching his prey
All alone, a man with his gun, wanders into the wild
Drags you down, you can't hide once he is onto your trail

Enter the night, a flash in the darkness, White Death is heading your way
The fear of his foes, a hero at home, hundreds will fall by his gun

You're in the sniper's sight, the first kill tonight, time to die
You're in the bullet's way, the White Death's prey, say goodbye

After the dawn, when morning has broken, the snow was whitened to red
Hundreds of soldiers were harmed in the fight, a tale of a sniper is born
Snowing mouth, hiding his breath, he is steady at hand
Eye to eye, target in sight, the moment to fire has come

Hundereds of kills, a men and his rifle, embodies the sissu of Finns
Stay out of sight, and cover your head, when he pulls the trigger you're dead

You're in the sniper's sight, the first kill tonight, time to die
You're in the bullet's way, the White Death's prey, say goodbye

You're in the sniper's sight (sniper's sight)
Your his first kill tonight (first kill tonight)
Say goodbye (say goodbye)

10. Metal Ripper

You're in for surprise, you're in for a shock
In london town streets when there's darkness and fog
I'm going down, all the way down
I'm on the highway to hell from here

Blessed by the night, holy and bright
Called by the toll of the bell
Oh Mr. Crowley did you talk to the dead
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay

Abandoned land come on in child take my hand
Hear a rising force
Watch the damned they're gonna break their chains
Through the night you can hear them

Twisting you mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me you can't see a thing
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
Blood on your face you big disgrace

A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you can see
Appears like a wonder without any move
Gonna get close, closer to you
