01. Allegiance

Warriors they do gather
At another battles down
Sunlight does glisten as
Swords and shields are drown
Battle scarred faces they
Show no fear of death
For those that die with
Sword in hand they shall not rest.

Sky above filled with fire
Sky above burn so bright
Casting shadows where brave men stood
To give their blood

The passage to the entrance
To a better place is now dear
For those that have died
In battle to Valhalla is the
Path all warriors now must take
So that their spirit
Can enter this sacred space.

Sky above filled with fire
Sky above burn so bright
Casting shadows where brave men stood
To give their blood

To die with sword in
Hand is every warriors right
To die with honour and
Dignity as the enemy's in sight
Arise ancient warrior once
More take up your mighty
One whose allegiance you once swore.

Sky above filled with fire
Sky above burn so bright
Casting shadows where brave men stood
To give their blood

One day brave men shall
Meet and become as one
Fathers shall meet sons
For those that are left
Behind they shall stand strong
For those that have passed,
The spirit will carry on

02. The Treaty

Cowboys were the good guys
Indians were the bad
White mana civilisation
The indians never had
This is what was told to me
On the Hollywood movie screen
Lies and deprivation
Lie behind this imagery

The treaty was whites mans law
The plight of the indians
They chose to ignore

Forced to leave ancestral ground
A new home, a new life to be found
Treaty written in the ink of blood
White man came and took what he could
Forced to live on lands of waste

With out enough food they did in haste
This once proud nation now had to beg
To save them from the jaws of death

The treaty was whites mans law
The plight of the indians
They chose to ignore

No more buffalo roam roam these plains
Promised food but which never come
Tribes that held their heads high
Let out the cold to starve and die

03. Evil Emperor

Born to rule is
My birth-right
Unleash the power
As I might
I am the one who
Claimed these lands
With the power is
My command.

Evil emperor
Destiny's in my hand
Evil emperor
Will is my command

With a tyrant's reign,
I shall thrive
Those that stand
Against, I shall deny
Fall to their knees,
Knees and pray
No sanctuary from
My judgement's way

Evil emperor
Destiny's in my hand
Evil emperor
Will is my command

Evil emperor
Destiny's in my hand
Evil emperor
Will is my command

04. Conquest

Since time immortal man has
Conquered other men
Driving them out
Wherever they can
Armies verses armies raging
Wars cross desolate lands
Victorious ones see the
Spoils of war and mastery
At their hands

Conquest
Your time has come
Conquest

Battle after battle victors
Sweep across the land
Striking down who won't
Succumb with an iron hand
Feel the wrath of the
Warrior his power and his might
Feel the coldness of the
Steel as he takes away your life.

Conquest
Your time has come
Conquest

Warrior he stands he
Stands upon the hill
Watching with eager
Eyes as battle starts to undo
The sense of victories all
Around pulsating through his veins
The defeated armies shall
Succumb to his terror and his reign

Conquest
Your time has come
Conquest

Swords and axes they do
Dash the battle takes its hold
Death has no boundaries
Dying are the young and old
Their dying together
For their rights and land
Bloodied corpses lay
Around this is their last stand.

05. Life Line

Pulsating vein of
The bringer of death
The endless nightmare
Will breathe its last breath
The end of your time
Will cease to come
The dragons torment
Has now begun

Don't close your eyes
Don't turn around
Nightmare
Lifeline of your lifetime

There's no escape
From this insanity
You'll end this
Life in pain and misery
No faith in life,
Your will has gone
The dead man's shadow
That you've become

Don't close your eyes
Don't turn around
Nightmare
Lifeline of your lifetime

Your body becomes
Like an empty shell
A twisted mind in
A place called Hell
The only thing is
Far you to say "No"
Before the endless
Void traps you

Don't close your eyes
Don't turn around
Nightmare
Lifeline of your lifetime

06. Graveyard Of Fools

Deep depression is
Pulling you down
A drape of darkness
Surrounds you like a shroud
The only way out is the
Ultimate sacrifice
You think your problems
Will be solved if you take your life

See the devil figure
Dancing on the graves

Think of those you
Now have left behind
Those who you think they
Won't care
When all your pain and
Anguish has gone
Theirs has only just started,
And shall carry on

See the devil figure
Dancing on the graves

Sure everyone's been a
Fool at same time
But some escape
Some don't reach the finish line
Going through this life
It can really hurt
Joy and pain is the
Way we that we learn

07. Time For Destiny

Can you see the horsemen
Of the prophecy
Waiting to spread
Their wings and fly away?
How much longer
Can we abuse this earth
Before Mother Nature
Turns things in reverse?

Like a phoenix that's
Rising from the ashes
Hell and fury does ride

Brother slaying brother,
Man killing man
Mankind has sewn
It's seeds of destiny
Raping and pilloging,
Mmurder and killing
Looking through
Blinded eyes we cannot see
For forever darkness
Across the land
Mankind holds his
Destiny in his own hand

Like a phoenix that's
Rising from the ashes
Hell and fury does ride

The outcome of mankind's
Ignorance and hate
Can we now stop it
Before it's too late?
It's time to undo
Harm that's been done
Or shall man forever
Blindly run

Can you see the
Horsemen of the prophecy
Waiting to spread
Their wings and fly away?

08. Deadly Assassin

Nightmare began when
He came back in time
He had a mission,
A woman he must find
He must now search,
Search for his prey
So mankind can no
More have their day

Deadly assassin,
Deadly assassin
War between man,
Man and machine
Who is the one,
One who'll succeed

Mission to find and
Kill an unborn son
No mind if his own
And consdence he has none
The woman Sarah Connors
Is now the Assassin's aim
To take her life
Return to his time again

Deadly assassin,
Deadly assassin
War between man,
Man and machine
Who is the one,
One who'll succeed

Kill and to terminate,
Terminator is his name
Destroy the saviour of
Man so machines can rule again
The new Messiah born
Lead us to the promised Land
Victory or defeat
Now lays in his hand
