Coming in swarms
Out of the sky Forming an iron cross Then they divide Only the smells of death will follow them Galleys that fly Out of the north Painting the sky - ways red Plundering forth Only the swiftest will challenge them Carrying chains Iron and swords Poisonous arrows fly Into the hordes Only the stoutest stock of nothern men Battling trees Wrestling rocks Summoning Voden's strength Enemies drop Only the trials of flesh will challenge them Voden's call One and all Thor's winds blow North we go! Coming in swarms Out of the sky Forming an iron cross Then they divide Only the smells of death will follow them Galleys that fly Into the sun Carrying rogues and slaves Enemies fallen Only the trails of blood remember them Voden's call One and all Thor's winds blow North we go! 02. Walls Of Shame Music by Slough Feg Lyrics by Mike Scalzi
While you stay
Behind the walls of gray While you pray The black and white won't stay The end will haunt your cradle every night Black and white The lies that make you stable burn in the rite Black and white While you hide Behind the walls of shame Deep inside You know your master's game The end will haunt your cradle every night Black and white The lies that make you stable burn in the rite Black and white Look down below your feet And down there is a well Let obscurantists cry That down there's only hell! While you hide Behind the walls of shame Deep inside You know your master's game While you stay Behind the walls of gray While you pray The black and white won't stay The end will haunt your cradle every night Black and white The lies that make you stable burn in the rite Black and white 03. Warriors Dawn Music by Slough Feg Lyrics by Mike Scalzi
Coming home from sacrifice to meet our long-nosed wives
Rifles in the twisted canyons summon their surprise Waking up the silent breeze puts shivers in their hearts Crazed to death by casualties the cavalry departs We are the red men Feathers - on - our - head men Down among the deadmen Um - pow - wow! In bitter stars that cast their shrine upon the wilderness Rabid eyes of shamen flood the moon's descending crest Creeping in clairvoyance painted savages are drawn Locked in dire sacrifice to dance and die at dawn We are the red men Feathers - on - our - head men Down among the deadmen Um - pow - wow! I was born to walk on the plains I was born to run in the hills I was tough enough to spawn and die Towards summer's end And as you walk through the arid wilderness You can hear my battle cry We were torn from shackles and chains We were born to run in the hills We were tough enough to spawn and die Towards summer's end And as you walk through the arid wilderness You can hear my battle cry! We are the red men Feathers - on - our - head men Down among the deadmen Um - pow - wow! 04. Beast In The Broch Music by Slough Feg
(Instrumental)
05. Heavy Metal Monk Music by Slough Feg Lyrics by Mike Scalzi
What kind of a fool do you take me for?
The lust of a monk or a troubadour I must be the last of a dying race What virtue is wrought from a man who is chaste? And spiteful enough for a holy war What kind of a man do you think I am? A master who's failed at his own exam This knowledge of life has become a cage A prison where reason has turned to rage A hawk that circles a pentagram What kind of a face do these people see? A creature enslaved by his inquiry A chain of thought that will never stop Perhaps a bull in a china shop A monster trapped in a library I'm caught in this race's own graveyard I'm piecing together unholy shards A man that died of his mental health An age that turned it against himself And left to gather his own reward What ever does this world want from me? A martyr for a moral tragedy! 06. Fergus Mac Roich Music by Slough Feg Lyrics by Mike Scalzi
"Long live Fergus!", they scream from the valley
Searching the ranks for a king Moments of glory are all but forgotten They wait for tomorrow to bring Outcast and lonely since Connor was smitten The tribes of the Sesair lament Chaos abounds in the Land of the Young As the dark one prepares his descent Chaos abounding on the breeze Tangled and twisted in the trees Dark runes painted on his brow As the wretched scream out loud Passing the test of a tribesman and warrior Fergus Mac Roich stands alone Paintings that tell of his future misfortune Are cast on a canvas of stone Bathed in the Cauldron of Blood As the ritual knowledge is passed through the gates Unholy secrets lie under the surface As silently father awaits Chaos abounding on the breeze Tangled and twisted in the trees Dark runes painted on his brow As the wretched scream out loud! 07. Cauldron Of Blood Music by Slough Feg Lyrics by Mike Scalzi
The red sky has turned to gray to spell out our doom
The walls closing in on this forgotten tomb A stag's head that hangs on the wall Tells me what's to befall The knights of the Red Branch add fuel to the fire A careless decision, a Mason's desire They keep me enslaved 'til the ancestors answer my call In voices that summon the worms of the earth The headdress and antlers that turn tears to mirth A bull's head that lays on the floor shows me what I abhor The beasts of the forest unite and conspire A careful decision, unholy desire Forever enslaved on the walls of the Cauldron of Blood Peeling the mask as we rise and destroy Incantations aroused by your sign Cast in the earth by the light of your eyes I'm immortal as you are divine! The red sky has turned to gray to spell out our doom The walls closing in on this forgotten tomb A stag's head that hangs on the wall Tells me what's to befall The knights of the Red Branch add fuel to the fire A careful decision, unholy desire Forever enslaved on the walls of the Cauldron of Blood 08. Troll Pack Music by Slough Feg Lyrics by Mike Scalzi
Tunnels
Circling 'round to my lair Hunters We come in packs so beware Marching in this labyrinth village Troll king claims his maverick throne Wretching in his cavernous castle Chewing on flesh, gnawing on bones! Goblins Creeping fast through my halls Talons Scraping blood from the walls Games and crafts performed by my fathers Tossing heads of curious dwarves Called us cruel and heartless marauders Invading our caves, starting our wars Caverns Burn the path to my lair Demons Around each corner they bark Red eyes They glow like jewels in the dark Troglodytes are curious creatures Marching through reptilian realms Smell the stench of human invaders Feast on their limbs, bury their helms Axes Chopping limbs from the beasts Tridents Bathed in the blood of the priest Slaughtering this humanoid village Females kneel and bark at my throne Wretching in my cavernous castle Chewing on flesh, gnawing on bones! Gnawing on bones, chewing on flesh 09. Traders And Gunboats Music by Slough Feg Lyrics by Mike Scalzi
Down and out on the Solomani Rim
Now the spinward marches don't look so grim I hear the x-boats on my trail Engines always on the run I'm mercenary, live in hyper-drive Traders and gunboats keeping me alive On route to Pscias always on the run Busted in the Sword Worlds with a loaded Gauss gun! I hear the x-boats on my trail Engines always on the run Down and out on the Solomani Rim Now the spinward marches don't look so grim On route to Pscias always on the run Busted in the Sword Worlds with a loaded Gauss gun! I hear the x-boats on my trail Engines always on the run 10. Psionic Illumination Music by Slough Feg Lyrics by Mike Scalzi
It came like a burning spiral
I thought that it could never end But down in the whirling center Where time and distances all bend We shot through the black horizon Escape this hopeless galaxy Shipwrecked on a plastic planet My mind was fractured by the sound Psionic Illuminations Dead thoughts are driven from the ground Now trapped in a spiral synapse I've reached a singularity Now trapped in the burning spiral It seems that time will never end I wrestled the raging vortex But infinite density don't bend Abandon the sole savior Escape this hopeless galaxy! 11. Marauder Music by Slough Feg Lyrics by Mike Scalzi
The dark lord will ride on his rags on this morbid new day
The village of wisemen consulting each other to pray There is no hope left in the stars to save them at hand On this black day only blood will flow through the white sand I'm a proud warrior sunken low I've got no place to go I can run, I can steal, I can hide But you know I'll never lose my pride You can see me in the forest at night With my eyes wide open and my leather pulled tight You can see me in the village at dawn Hiding in the shadows with my battle-beak drawn! 12. High Season Music by Slough Feg Lyrics by Mike Scalzi
From the snow and rolling thunder
From the frost and pouring rain From the darkness, passing wonder To illuminate again Comes the highest of the seasons When the crown of dawn returns To collide in timeless reason From the darkness as it burns And when all your dreams discover The future has eyes within you And when all the paths uncover Are all you have left to turn to The arrows of sun come dancing on your head A flame that will burn until you're dead Sunlight dries on your brow Time to rise from the ground Heaven cries, claim your crown! 13. Death Machine Music by Slough Feg Lyrics by Mike Scalzi
Ankar Moor:
"I guard the city Helix I ride the Death Machine And serving Lord Zirpola Please die of brain disease I am my only master I keep the ranges clean" Kaz Oshay: "Immortal gladiator Never a Statesmen's slave I'm born to guide the ranges Below the mutant caves I am my only master My mother was Oshay She heard the flashwind coming A thousand miles away" Burning cross the wastelands of the lost society My name is Ankar Moor, I keep the ranges clean Racing through the burnt out shells, I must keep up the pace Iron wheels like thunder in this heavy metal race Lady of the Range-guides, Oh won't you ride with me Across the plains to Triton where our union can be free Hiding from the flashwind underneath the ancient caves Battling the mutants, and he sends them to their graves I was a Range-guide You were riding by my side Out on the wastelands, all on your side Battling Statesmen to kill Ankar Moor Escaped the city Helix And your Death Machines The Statesmen's reign is over I ride the ranges free I am my only master My mother was Oshay Once more I ride the ranges Immortal tracks I lay! |
