There It comes...
The serenity in It's eyes suits perfectly the drizzle that now falls.
Can you hear?
The edge of the blade to provoke the fields, as It whispers us the lyrics of our requiem...
Who would wonder the closest friend of the reaper could feel such tranquility for the spreading of death...
What shall be of you when standing before The Shadow?
Will you face your Executioner?
When the drums of battle are the ones to beat the time, which shall you drop first?
Your sweat?
Your tears?
Your blood?!
Not even GOD dares to answer, for the fusion of this fluids took no part in the plans of his creation...
Kneel and pray my friend for I have seen it in my nightmares and there shall be no mercy at all!
Kneel and pray my friend for this is the beginning of the end...

I start to hear the screams
Fear echoes deep in my heart
In everywhere destruction begins
And now... now I know who you are

All's falling by your side
Now I know your destination
This is the beginning of night
The end of god's creation

(Bridge)
The black moon is rising
Between the mist and the battle sounds
The council was conspired
And decimated one by one

(Chorus)
Blood and fire now were joined
In the taking of the throne
Now I know who you are
It's all in the holy writs
Now I know what you came for
The Emperor! Is your name...
Your name...

All the idols begin to fall
There is nothing more to see
Emptiness is covering this place
Something new is rising here

All's falling by your side
Now I know your destination
This is the beginning of night
The end of god's creation

(Bridge)
(Chorus 2x)

There's a mask for each of your sins.
There's an indulgence to pay for each violation.
There's a scorn for all that exists. -
But how: if there's nothing beyond all this?

(Bridge)
Under the light
Theater of doom
Denial of life
Wretchedness is soon...
The cold of the night
My spirit will burn
Needed "to do right":
To hide and not learn!

Before the cross - tears in vain!
Representing ourselves in the stage again...
Cover your eyes not to see your life.
But until there in darkness stays my heart!

(Bridge)

(Chorus 2x)
Beneath a black masquerade!
Oh, Black masquerade!
"We surrender!"

(Solo)
(Chorus 4x)

Six days to create this world
And everything here
Was in a perfect harmony
What intentions had then god
To spend a whole day in
The seeding of humanity?

(Bridge)
Dreaming power
Is born the first illness of world
Dreaming power
It has no soul... We've got no soul

(Chorus)
Beasts! Of mankind...
Rise! It's god's creation
Hands of fire seeking the control

Was god planning to retire
Or joking at his toys,
giving us some of his power?
Play a role of god on earth
Create destruction tools,
Metal beings with demons eyes

(Bridge)
Burning, dying
Feel the wrath of your own son
Burning, dying
Hands of fire... Demons eyes!

(Chorus)
Beasts! Of mankind...
Rise! It's god's creation
Hands of fire seeking the control
Beasts! Of metal...
Rise! It's revolution
Hands of fire losing the control!

(Solo)
Oh, our chance is gone
Our burning greed has won
We were left behind
In the search for some control
We've created a metal ghost
A billions eyes beholder!

(Chorus 4x)
Beasts! Of metal...
Rise! It's revolution...
Electrified eyes,
Who's under control?

No wind will ever blow away this pain
Each candle lights an urn to seal
Feel a warm now's falling, they're tears shed
From all those who have remained
But no they can't wash away all the stained blood
Like the haze in the dawn we'll fade...

We have signed a treat
With the old lady in black
Whose skill in the chessboard can hold
King sanity in check

We've embraced the souls bearer
So now welcome home
Don't expect too much
For the guests find just too late we are...

(Chorus)
Never going to stop seeding this field of crosses!
The harvest is fair, I see it in the smile of Death!
Never going to stop seeding this field of crosses!
The harvest is fair, we're meeting beyond the black!

Oh! A field of crosses
All will be left from our Mother Earth
Watch the black rain is now falling, they're consumed souls
Burnt with the hope
When the atomic flower rose and the sun shone red
All this place we call home is doomed...

And who will pay for our sins?
Those not even born!
Who will drink the polluted water
Where we bathed our dreams

We held hands with the bearer
So now welcome home
Don't expect too much
For the guests find just too late we are...

(Chorus)
Oh! Down we go!

(Solo)
Bloody wars, wicked deeds
Death will laugh last bearing souls of our kids!
We create our own destiny
Why have we chosen to seed
A crosses field? Crosses field...

Gods of the elements
This is the season of fall
The darkness covering my vision
Blood staining the wall

(Bridge)
Day after day time seems to drain
The truest things taken by the rain!

The final battle has begun
I hope to be reminded as a brave
'Cause there's nothing beyond the ashes,
except the memory!

(Bridge)

(Chorus)
Like a warrior
One battle will bring my sunset!
Ancient lore
I will return to my holy land!

Set me in my boat
And let me go
I will return to the thunder!
To my gods,
They make me ashes,
Eternal return by fire!

(Solo)

Gods of the elements
This is the season of fall
The darkness covering my vision
Blood staining the wall

(Bridge)

(Chorus 2x)

Rise! Take thy sword back to fight!
Thou shalt meet no victory fleeing...
Thy soul still is a beast to tame!
Burn! Let thy damn weakness burn!
Follow the hot Muspell winds
Baptize thy heart in Surtur's Flames!

Feel the battle...
Make thy battle...
Free thy battlecry...

(Chorus)
Pulsing courage
Chrome Heart!
Find thine instinct is thy guide
Mighty razor
Chrome Heart!
Find thy strength comes from inside
For Thou hast a Chrome Heart...

Hear! Hear what the plain says!
Many will meet death on these fields...
But thou shalt not be one of them!
Ride! Once more thou must ride!
Thy brothers wait for thee with pride
And dawn must see that thou couldst stand

Hear the blade sing...
See the blade shine...
Feel the blade inside...

(Chorus)

Hel whispers to thou crawling in thy skin
but cold Niflheim's not thy home...
Rise thine own seat aside of Odin
at the Golden Hall! The Golden Hall!

Feel the battle...
Make thy battle...
Free thy battlecry...

(Chorus)

Chrome Heart... Chrome Heart...

Another war explodes
Another lives scythe
Helheim gates once more are open
To hail the dead mankind

The Protector God is watching
From up above His clouds
His furious heart beats faster
Each time the bugle sounds

(Bridge)
Bringing storm
Mjölnir invades the night,
Berserker red,
Flashing before His eyes!

(Chorus 2x)
Chariot of Thor, oh oh oh
Lightning strikes, when crossing the skies!

See the black fur of Tanngrisnir
The bereavement color it wears
Out from the Tanngniost hoofs
Roaming suffering meets the air

Only by His hammer
Midgard shall find its peace,
One by one meet thunder,
A trial by His fist!

(Bridge)
(Chorus 2x)

(Solo)

(Chorus 2x)
Chariot of Thor... Across the skies!

Head to the gas stop
Fill up the tank
Of our good old Ford
As well as us, he needs some fire

Steel-born machine
Our V8 sings
With the hardest songs
Rocking the highway, rolling tires

(Bridge)
We'll be taking our hammers down
As long as there are sparks to fly
From inside our souls
We are songsmiths
And our Metal'll never stop to glow

(Chorus)
We'll be forever forging Metal! Metal!
Bang your heads, we are
Forging Metal to the world! Metal!


Before we're leaving
We get two six-packs
and then hit the road
Today the highway is our home

There's nothing better
Than a couple of brews
And a crazy crowd
Waiting to rock all the night long

(Bridge)
(Chorus 2x)

Oh, you always say you love it, huh?
I wanna hear it from your lungs!

Metal! We're forging Metal!
Metal! We're forging Metal!
Louder!
Metal! We're forging Metal!
Metal! We're forging Metal!

(Bridge)
(Chorus 2x)

You give your life to men and god
Trusting in lies and empty words
And when you most need them
You find you're all alone...

And when you look up to the skies
You understand the humans threat
A black vultures flock
Coldly await your death...

(Bridge)
"Oh god!
The ground has vanished from beneath my feet
Oh I've been walking over a bridge of sand
Will I ever find the end? The bottom of this pit?"

(Chorus)
Unforeseen sandstorms
Have never gone so far away
Filling your eyes with sand
And loneliness
Beyond a velvet screen
Lie the ones who pull the strings
Playing with your innocence
Oh, believe!
Every time the curtain falls
It's disillusion!

Beware the crowd,
They just want to watch you bleeding
A black vultures flock
They just want to hear you screaming!

(Solo)

(Bridge)
(Chorus)

God, humans, vultures and strings
The faces of Illusion...
The faces of Illusion...
Face the faces!
Face the faces of Illusion!
Face the faces!
Face the faces of Illusion!

Oh god!
