01. Holding On

Steel of our brave hearts trapped inside
In frozen illusion
High is the mountain we must climb
Reach out for rebellion

Rise up to the open sky
One chance at the price of glory
Fire in a thousand blazing skies
One lifetime ascending
Strong as an army side by side
Still brave and defending

March on through the tragic lands
Cold tears in the north wind falling
Raise your souls high
See the new dawn arise through the

[CHORUS]
Sands of all time, mystery of life
Everlasting sadness through light years gone by
land lost in time, once more back where we belong
Promises of yesterday, we'll keep holding on

Silent and twisted lifeless mind
So blind in delusion
Cursed by the emptiness inside
Cast out in confusion

Strike back with the power in hand
Break free from a past life dying
Onwards we strive till
The answers we'll find in the

[CHORUS]

Still lost alone and I'm dying
Daylight the world is still crying
Evermore we'll search throughout a lifetime

[SOLOS: HERMAN / SAM]

Stars are falling down tonight,
light the path where eagles fly
Find the strength inside us, a new world reborn
Silent tears of pain we cried,
raise our hands unto the sky
Break the chains that bind us,
One movement in time as we

Rise up to the open sky
One chance at the price of glory
Raise your souls high
See the new dawn arise through the

Sands of all time, mystery of life
Everlasting sadness through light years gone by
land lost in time, once more back where we belong
Memories of life to pray for
Everlasting price to pay for
Promises of yesterday, we'll keep holding on

Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah

Sands of all time, once more we'll rise up again
Stand alone and fight till the end

[SOLO: HERMAN]

02. Fallen World

Soldiers of Fire
Rage of the Universe
Cold steel and bloodshed
In the Lost Barren Wasteland

Fear Rising Higher,
Rage of the Winter War
Death calls and night fall,
Our Hatred Still burns us

We march through endless skies
Mankind will Fall, Death will arise

[Chorus:]
For Our Lifetime we fight without reason,
Still we wait for the warrior's return
Though we're cast out and broken, we still carry on
Alone in a lost fallen World

Flames burning higher,
Curse of the winterland,
Black, torn, and twisted
In the fast-fading twilight

Storm winds still flowing,
Still chase our destiny,
Death calls and night fall
Our curse with be lifted

Disguise these timeless cries
Brave men will fall, evil will rise!

[Chorus]

Still heroes were born,
With promises so black,
The light at the end of the road which we all must light!

[Chorus]

03. Cry Thunder

Time after time as we march side by side
Through the valleys of evil and torturing souls,
Night after night, for the glory we fight,
In the kingdom of madness and the tales from the old

Death by our hands, for the higher command,
As the darkness surrounds us in the quite as they fall
Fly burning steel and the tyrants will kneel
Hearts burning stronger with the power of the sword

Set sail for the glory,
Pray for the master of war
Sunlight will fall by the wastelands
endless rise to the heroes before

Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand,
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command
Blessed by the union, freedom of man

Reckoning day, for the demons we slay,
With the force of a dragon we will conquer them all!
Chaos still reigns, in the space and in flames
With the ultimate glory when the legacy calls

March on
Through the hellfire
Blazing for the darkness beyond (Blazing for the darkness beyond)
Nightmare return of the thousands
Giving rise to the heroes once more

Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand,
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command
Blessed by the union, freedom of man

Unholy darkness,
IN the eyes of broken dreams,
Outside of the wasted and torn,
A land of tears still remains
Soldiers of destiny calling,
And the fallen will rise up again,
Conquer the forces of evil and fight to the end

Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand,
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command,
Saviour of nations, freedom of man

Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand,
Warriors defending,
One final stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command,
Blessed by the union, freedom of man

Blessed by the union of man
Cry thunder!
Yeah yeah

04. Give Me The Night

[SOLO: HERMAN]

Falling gradually, endlessly the perfect disease
Everyone's a winner but you're down on your knees
Sanity is passing one more shot if you please
For the one final game I won't be playing

Still the same tempting voice in my mind
Losing grip on it all (losing grip on it all)
Carry on through the endless lies
'Cause I can't see a reason why

[CHORUS]
Give me the night
Let me be me for one last time
A prisoner of myself lost in disguise
Just give me the night
Still living in a twisted dream
There's no tomorrow for right now will be
The best time of my life

Hammering, sickening, torment and pain
Blind ambition to poison my brain
Cheating, lying, begging, stealing day after day
For the one final dose I won't be saving

Pure darkness consuming my life
Don't wanna die here alone (die here alone)
Walk away from reality
Got a date with the enemy

[CHORUS]

The best time of my life!

[SOLOS: FRED / HERMAN / SAM]

Still the same tempting voice in my mind
Losing grip on it all (losing grip on it all)
Carry on through the endless lies
'Cause I can't see a reason why

[CHORUS]

YEAH!

05. Wings Of Liberty

Outside of this world,
There's a life force still burning
Outside of this land
There's a star shining free

In silence we stand,
On a golden horizon, calling
This time there's a light for us
Still shining so bright for us
Again

Trapped inside this paradise still bleeding
While there are so many faces in this mask of lies
Blinded by the promises and the life in pain
Now the time has come for all of us to rise

Through the fires of hell between us
Through a lifetime of our dreams
Endless tears still burn inside
Beneath the sadness of our screams

And the years of our forsaken lands
Silent we stand here alone
Nothing to say when the evil finally burns

We all stand in silence for the wasted and gone
One warrior standing through a thousand year storm
Our past lives still shining, the starlight reveals
Our glory remembered for the power of the steel

And the winter rain will fall, around the brave and fallen
Like the sands of endless time, they'll never be forgotten
We all stand in silence for the wasted and gone,
For the last time we cry now for freedom

Cast aside, this dying world forsakes us
Break the chains of our creation now to save our lives
Blight of all eternity and the curse of steel
Like the winter rain will tear the blazing skies

From the wastelands of destruction
With the fire we hold inside
Rise again, still glorious
For the power of all mankind

Through the years of our forsaken lands
Silent we stand here alone
Nothing to say when the evil finally burns

We all stand in silence for the wasted and gone
One warrior standing, through a thousand years strong
Our past lives still shining, the starlight reveals
Our glory remembered, with the power of the steel

And the winter rain will fall, around the brave and fallen
Like the sands of endless time, they'll never be forgotten
We all stand in silence for the wasted and gone,
For the last time we cry now for freedom

[SOLOS: HERMAN / SAM / FRED]

Through the trials of fire behind us,
In the dark and burning skies
Fallen tears still lost inside
Within the memories of our lives

And the years of our forsaken lands
Silent we stand here alone
Nothing to say when the evil finally burns

We all stand in silence for the wasted and gone
One warrior standing, through a thousand years strong
Our past lives still shining, the starlight reveals
Our glory remembered, with the power of the steel

And the winter rain will fall, around the brave and fallen
Like the sands of endless time, they'll never be forgotten
We all stand in silence for the wasted and gone,
For the last time we cry now for freedom

For the last time we cry now for freedom... AGAIN!!!

06. Seasons

I'm searching through emptiness
And try to forget as in vain
The light of the dark setting sun
Will bring my sadness to an end

Voices cry out through the fear and the dark
As we wait for our lives to be better
The worlds are dying in the night
The winter lasts for ever
The seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
So let the past... now burnt out in flames

Locked in a prison
In a world of living fear
On the edge of my destruction marching on
Still suffer in darkness
With the dreams of life, my meant to be
As the lie awaken curse the rising sun

Sadness inside from the truth that she hides
And is pain in my heart for no reason
The worlds are dying in the night
The winter lasts for ever
The seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
So let the past, now burnt out in flames

Voices cry out through the fear and the dark
As we wait for our lives to be better
The worlds are dying in the night
The winter lasts for ever
The seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
So leave the past behind

The dark clouds are fading from my mind
No pain will last forever
The seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
So let the past now burnt out in flames
Burnt out in flames

07. Heart Of The Storm

Silently marching, our quest for revenge
Lost in the forgotten tradgedy
Scars of the past still alive in our veins
Onwards we fight to our destiny

Trample their forces we now overrun
Sign of the power inside of us
Cities in ruins and lives are destroyed
Stand at the edge of the universe

Suffering fills the open sky
Battering down the pain inside
Memories hide the moonlight sky
Till the end of our days

Conquering lands and fallen heroes
Sanity torn we ride on fearless
Victory sounds a thousand miles away

Into this world in wonder from a starlight sky
For a lifetime of freedom, and the legend is born
Once more unbroken, the price we will pay
On this march into fire, the heart of the storm
Endless destruction consuming our land
Legions of darkness destroy mankind

Storming the wasteland we now overcome
Vanquishing evil, insane we find

Rise of the slain, breaking the chains
Fight through the whirlwind of doom
Live for the day, conquer the pain
Under the light of the moon

Into this world in wonder from a starlight sky
For a lifetime of freedom, and the legend is born
Once more unbroken, the price we will pay
On this march into fire, the heart of the storm

SOLO

Outside the endless rain
Crushed by the burning pain
This life goes on forever after
Across the universe, on through the twilight sky
And still we feel the fire go on and on

Into this world in wonder from a starlight sky
For a lifetime of freedom, and the legend is born
Once more unbroken, the price we will pay
On this march into fire, the heart of the storm

08. Die By The Sword

Outside the battle ragin death upon us
No surrender unchained and free
Insanity will lead to blind destruction
Crush the evil, the foul disease

Our final destination reborn in darkness
Watching and waiting destroying with ease
The judgement day upon us as dawn is breaking
Mankind will fall to the spineless decieved

[CHORUS]
Fly through the storm, power of the steel
Striking with vegence, force them to kneel
Soldiers unite, force of the world
Fight till the end we will die by the sword

Fight on in foreign fields of mass destruction
Stand as one, no man left behind
Our final victory, tonight awaits us
Slain in darkness behind the lines

Raise the dead, ride beside of me
Fallen heroes, of a thousand moons
Blaze ahead the price that they now pay
On the march to their doom

[CHORUS]

Fight till the end we will die by the sword

Light the fires of freedom, on the shores of endless seas
Wings of glory guide us, on the path to victory
Light the fires of freedom, on the shores of endless seas
Wings of glory guide us, on the path to victory

[SOLOS: SAM / HERMAN]

Outside the battle raging death upon us
No surrender unchained and free
Insaniy will lead to blind destruction
Crush the evil, the foul disease

[CHORUS]

09. Last Man Stands

[SOLO: SAM]

One man remains
And the stars seem to change
Far beyond our universe tonight

And the cries of the brave
And the skies filled with pain
For the silent ones we pray for all tonight

New dawn rising destruction and pain
Long days passing the fear of the rain
Soldiers fighting on the price they will pay
Nuclear meltdown the world uncertain from the

Power of the tragedy of man's creation
Rise from the suffering for our salvation

Fearless we stand strong till the end, at the trial of all our lives
Now say our final goodbyes

[CHORUS]
Light the path for the journey home
Save a prayer for the lost alone
Find a way from the other side
Before the heroes task still binding
Through the long nights across the seas
Shine a light for eternity
Find a way beyond the other side
Until the last man stands for all mankind

[SOLO: HERMAN]

Skies now blackened the night turns to day
Nations fearful of global decay
Fires still raging on in vain now we pray
Nuclear fallout the fortunes fading as we

Stand at the edge barren desolation
Fight for the future of our generation

Fearless we stand, brave we defend
For a thousand years gone by
Now say our final goodbyes

[CHORUS]

[SOLOS: HERMAN / SAM / VADIM / SAM]

[CHORUS]

And the fate of the world in our hands
Rise again until the end of time
Until the last man stands for all mankind

10. Seasons

[SOLO: FRED]

I'm searching through emptiness
And tried to forget us in vain
The light of the dark setting sun
Will bring my sadness to an end

Voices cry out through the fear and the doubt
As we wait for our lives to be better

[CHORUS]
The words are dying in the night
No winter lasts forever
The seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
So let the past now burn down in flames

Oooooh....

Locked in a prison, in a world of living fear
On the edge of my destruction marching on
Still suffer in darkness with the dreams of life not meant to be
As I lie awake and curse the rising sun

Sadness inside from the truth that she hides
And this pain in my heart for no reason

[CHORUS]

[SOLO]

Voices cry out through the fear and the doubt
As we wait for our lives to be better

The words are dying in the night
No winter lasts forever
The seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
So leave the past behind

The dark clouds fading from my mind (fading from my mind)
No pain will last forever (last forever)
The seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
So let the past now burn down in flames
Burn down in flames

Oooooh... Woah

11. Cry Thunder

[Bonus Track]

Time after time, as we march side by side
Through the valleys of evil and the torturing souls
Night after night, for the glory we fight
In the kingdom of madness and the tales from the old

Death by our hands, for the higher command
As the darkness surrounds us in the quiet as they fall
Fire burning steel, and the tyrants will kneel
Hearts burning stronger with the power of the sword

Set sail for the glory
Pray for the master of war
Sunlight will fall by the wastelands
Endless rise to the heroes before

[Chorus:]
Cry thunder
Sword in his hand
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder
Strong in command
Blessed by the union, freedom of man

Reckoning day, for the demons we slay
With the force of a dragon we will conquer them all
Chaos still reigns, devastation and flames
With the ultimate glory when the legacy calls

March on through the hellfire
Blazing through the darkness beyond
Nightmares return of the thousands
Giving rise to the heroes once more

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Unholy darkness
In the eyes of broken dreams
Outside of the wasted and torn
a land of tears still remains
Soldiers of destiny calling
and the fallen will rise up again
Conquer the forces of evil and fight to the end

Cry thunder
Sword in his hand
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder
Strong in command
Savior of nations, freedom of man

Cry thunder
Sword in his hand
Warriors defending, one final stand
Cry thunder
Strong in command
Blessed by the union, freedom of man

Blessed by the union of man
Cry thunder

[Bonus Track]

Silently marching, our quest for revenge
Lost in the forgotten tragedy
Scars of the past still alive in our veins
Onwards we fight to our destiny

Trample their forces we now overrun
Sign of the power inside of us
Cities in ruins and lives are destroyed
Stand at the edge of the universe

Suffering fills the open sky
Battering down the pain inside

Fires of hell inside of the darkness burning
Far away from me
Ride again before the light, still shining
Fly towards, before the far horizon
Fires of hell inside of the darkness burning
Far away from me
In the dead of night

Endless destruction consuming our land
Legions of darkness destroy mankind
Storming the wasteland we now overcome
Vanquishing evil, insane we find
