Tracks



01. Holy War

You choose to follow evil
You think your life is so pure
I know you've lost your mind, prisoner of illusion
In the name of god you're killing,
You will be king in heaven
You preach the bad words to the children of this world
I just want to be free
I'll always be the master of my life and destiny
Your heart is so black; committing all these crimes,
You stab a knife right in my back

Holy war, Holy war
Tell me what you're fighting for
Do you want to fight eternally?
Holy war, Holy war
You won't find what you're raging for
The whole world is your enemy.
(Holy War)

You are the mask of Satan, the sword of evil on earth
Invasion is your first wish, leading all these fools
And I just want to break you
You are the force to be stopped
Don't ever cross my frontier; I will hunt you down
I just want to be free
I'll always be the master of my life and destiny
Your heart is so black; committing all these crimes,
You stab a knife right in my back

Holy war, Holy war
Tell me what you're fighting for
Do you want to fight eternally?
Holy war, Holy war
You won't find what you're raging for
The whole world is your enemy.
(Holy War)

02. Freedom's Blood - The Patriot

After the storm, after the war
Far from the light you never saw the sign
So plain to see who wins the game
Don't ever cross my way again
Lost in the darkness you will pay the price
The final day has come for you
And now you're standing on the battlefield.
You'll never take the crown
As your blood spills on the holy ground.

Oh-ooh, we fight so hard for independence
We will fight until the end, freedom's blood

Close prophecies, warnings fulfil
Touching the sky, we will be glorious
You wanted struggles But we are much too strong
Now here we stand right face to face
There is no choice you won't get out alive
Your time has come, there's no place to hide.
And now you're lying on the battlefield,
You'll never take the crown
As your blood spills on the holy ground.

Oh-ooh, we fight so hard for independence
We will fight until the end, freedom's blood
And now you're dying on the battlefield
You'll never take the crown
As your blood spills on the holy ground.

Oh-ooh, we fight so hard for independence
We will fight until the end, freedom's blood

03. Time

I was born in a winter's night
Now it seems it's so far away
And I scream like a lion roars, bringing my love to life
Born a rebel, Born of fire, forever wild. Forever free
And I scream for my passion(s), defending them so hard
Is it the end of the road? No one can stop me now
Years are passing so fast but I will dare till the end

Time, time to live your life
Before the night falls, before we die
Now it's time (choir time).
Time to live your life
Before the night falls, before we die

The hourglass of the damned waits
Showing that our time is short
I live for love; I want to be strong.
Alone in this dark world
No wasted years, no time to loose
I feel the need buried deep within
In a mysterious life we survive. Forever lost in doubt

Is it the end of the road? No one can stop me now
Years are passing so fast but I will dare till the end

Time, time to live your life
Before the night falls, before we die
Now it's time (choir-time).
Time to live your life
Before the night falls, before we die

04. The Invisible Empire

The night begins to fall and I'm looking to the sky
I cannot see what I feel but I get it in my heart
Emptiness of our lives, I believe in what I am
A reason to live in this world could be my request
Infinite universe, Infinite dreamers
Suffering eternally can we find a better world?

I want to fly beyond the stars;
I want to find another sun
Transcending shadows of my mind,
I want to fly beyond the gates of god
The invisible empire
Far beyond the stars, you'll feel the invisible fire
Far beyond the stars, you'll feel the invisible empire

I believe in something we will never understand
Do we control our fate? Or are we just his toys?
Could you imagine where it starts and where it ends?
Eternal silence, cosmic visions in my sleep
Infinite universe. Infinite dreamers
Suffering eternally, can we find a better world?

I want to fly beyond the stars;
I want to find another sun
Transcending shadows of my mind,
I want to fly beyond the gates of god
The invisible empire
Far beyond the stars, you'll feel the invisible fire
Far beyond the stars, you'll feel the invisible empire

05. Demon's Child

Walking in the streets; all alone in the dark
Crossing the line, where the beast makes the rules
My journey begins through this city of sins
Lords of the white dust will watch over me
I see this entire people. They suffer each day
Reach for the light in an illusive world
Try to be free, Don't believe this lies
In the end death wins the game
Find your own way with the power of your soul,
You can be so strong.

Demon's child, infant of evil
Demon's child, ruler of madness
Demon's child, longing for my soul
Demon's child and I will defeat you, demon's child

Don't cry for mercy cause I'll give you pain
Crime is your mission, the sense of your life
You're sailing to nowhere with hundred of fools
You chose to ignore me, now go burn in hell
Try to be free; you're nobody's slave
In the end death wins the game
Poison in your veins commanding your brain,
You must be so strong

Demon's child, infant of evil
Demon's child, ruler of madness
Demon's child, longing for my soul
Demon's child and I will defeat you, demon's child

06. High In The Sky

High in the sky your time has come,
Only the strong will survive
Don't ever try to rule my life again
Before the attack you have already lost
You're just a fool and we shall win this war.
You will burn in hell
You know the rule,
You've cross the line and you will pay the price
Never get our souls,
You're such a clown; don't think you are the king
We will show no mercy!

In valleys, on mountains and high in the sky
We stand as one for god and country
In valleys, on mountains and high in the sky
Defend our land until we die, high(high) in the sky.

High in the sky, you've lost your mind.
Not king but a pawn is your part
I will tear you into pieces and we'll laugh
Then you understand what you have done
I will disabuse you and I make you see
Pray for your souls!
You know the rule.
You've cross the line and you will pay the price
Never get our souls.

In valleys, on mountains and high in the sky
We stand as one for god and country
In valleys, on mountains and high in the sky
Defend our land until we die, high(high) in the sky.

In valleys, on mountains and high in the sky
Defend our land until we die, high(high) in the sky.

07. Alexander The Great - Hordes Of The Brave

He was the son of one Phillip The King, ancient lord on the dawn of time
Olympias, his mother was a witch, dedicated to the rites and spell
She killed the king and he became the master, Leading hordes of Macedonia
furious army of barbarians, taking Greece and all cities of Zeus.

In the eye of the storm, Athena gave him strength and power
No mercy for the enemies, king of kings, he was the strongest man on the earth.

On the wings of the war, there's no limit for the bravest reign
Through the wilderness and on trails of sand
He was conquering the Persian throne, the vision of a life.

Alexander The Great, you'd been chosen by gods
Alexander The Great, glorious power and golden lord

With many thousand men and chargers, his campaign set off to the east
Taking Gaza and the fortress' gold, reaching roads of Babylon
Battle after battle, his territory (was) growing on
When he arrived at the pyramids, the holy land was gift.

In the eye of the storm, Athena gave him strength and power
No mercy for the enemies, king of kings, he was the strongest man on the earth.

On the wings of the war, there's no limit for the bravest reign
Through the wilderness and on trails of sand
He was conquering the Persian throne, the vision of a life.

Alexander The Great, you'd been chosen by gods
Alexander The Great, glorious power and golden lord

[acoustic/spoken:]
On the shore of the Egyptian sea, building the city of Alexandria.
And in the oracle of Zeus-Ammon, the old priest told him
You're the chosen one, the son of god

In the eye of the storm, Athena gave him strength and power
No mercy for the enemies, king of kings, he was the strongest man on the earth.

On the wings of the war, there's no limit for the bravest reign
Through the wilderness and on trails of sand
He was conquering the Persian throne.
On the wings of the war, there's no limit for the bravest reign
Through the wilderness and on trails of sand
He was conquering the Persian throne, the vision of a life.

Alexander The Great, you'd been chosen by gods
Alexander The Great, glorious power and golden lord

08. Crystal Tears

Do you see all this violence?
Do you feel this suffering in your heart?
All this bloodshed on TV screens,
It makes me think that hell is just here on earth
Could we be all united?
The endless wars are killing the innocents
Are you going to let them do it?
Don't you see that our children are still crying?
Dying in the bombs flames in eternal pain

Oh Lord forgive me!
This is my last good bye
How can I fight the enemy?
I'm close to crystal tears

What's the meaning of our lives?
I try to find the answers so many times
I feel the madness of a decadent world:
We are all searching for something
Nowhere to be found
Is it the end of the story?
Can I live without this evil rule?
Are you going to let them do it?
Don't you see that our children are still dying?
Hear the thunder roaring in the dead of night

Oh Lord forgive me!
This is my last good bye
How can I fight the enemy?
I'm close to crystal tears

09. Iced Wind Of The North

Hear the thunder roar, storm of Thor
Do you feel the cold of an ancient world?
In this age of rites and battles
Drakkars ready to fight,
They are vikings feasting in the halls of gods
The master of the seas
And I can feel the glory of braves
Raising our cup to the sky in honour of Odin
And I can see them conquering the stars
Dragon ships, Dragon ships, coming from the mighty sea of north

Feels like I'm there, like I'm in Valhalla
Feels like I'm there, like I'm in Valhalla
Iced wind of the North

They forge their swords with power
Sailing through the seas eternally
Settling in the Land of Saxons
And when the night falls
They praise their gods
Feasting in the hals of gods
The master of the seas
And I can feel the glory of braves
Raising our cup to the sky in honour of Odin
And I can see them conquering the stars
Dragon ships, Dragon ships
Coming from the mighty sea of North

Feels like I'm there, like I'm in Valhalla
Feels like I'm there, like I'm in Valhalla
Iced wind of the North

10. My Eternal Flame

I've always been searching
For the guiding star in the night
Through smoke of fire winds and the winter's cold
Now I feel so bad emptiness in my heart
I just want some peace and calm
Before the shadow comes, before the night falls

Dreams of you, light up the night
You're still in my heart, you're still in my soul
One more ordinary day, without your love
