I see the full moon rising
Across the blackest night The sails on the horizon Dragon-ships in flight Gods are in the heavens A crack across the sky Coming with the thunder Soon you're gonna die Gods of war Stand in fear Strike you down With the hammer of the gods Hammer of the gods The silhouettes of sunrise Everything is still Inside your heart is pounding Waiting for the kill Crashing through the silence Come the Viking hordes Screaming down with terror With battle-axe and sword Gods of war Straight from Hell Strike you down With the hammer of the gods Hammer of the gods Prepare to meet the fury Coming with the dawn Take your wives and children Protect them from the storm Take your stand before them Fighting to the last Warriors of the Northland Soon will cross your path Gods of war Stand in fear Strike you down With the hammer of the gods Hammer of the gods Hammer of the gods Hammer of the gods Of the gods 02. Back In 79
It was back in '79
When we rode the mighty tide It swept across the world We came together We never stood alone Wherever we did roam This legacy of rock Would last forever, yeah Show me your hands Show me your hands Raise up your hands Deliver me Defenders of the faith To you this vow we make When our back's against the wall We'll not surrender You may be young or old There's no difference at all Just raise your glasses high And sing our song Show me your hands Show me your hands Raise up your hands Deliver me Show me your hands Show me your hands Raise up your hands Deliver me It was back in '79 When we rode the mighty tide The music will go on And never die Show me your hands Show me your hands Raise up your hands Deliver me Show me your hands Show me your hands Raise up your hands Deliver me 03. Surviving Against The Odds
Nobody said it was easy
When your back's to the wall We started with nothing Nothing at all Just me and you against the world That's how it's meant to be You can't escape the simple truth That was our destiny Surviving against the odds Surviving against the odds They never thought we could make it That was never the case We made a vow to each other That nothing could break To stand your ground against the odds That's what we've got to do Together we can face the worst That life can throw at you Surviving against the odds Surviving against the odds Don't let them drag you down Keep both feet on the ground You know we started with nothing With our backs to the wall We never said it was easy We've got nothing at all Just you and me against the world That's how it's got to be You can't escape the simple truth This is our destiny Surviving against the odds Surviving against the odds Against the odds We're surviving against the odds Surviving against the odds 04. Mists Of Avalon
In the mists of Avalon
She's waiting there for you In the mists of Avalon She's waiting there for you With sword of power, forged in steel Your desire to make the deal Excalibur is yours to take Deep inside the crystal lake In the mists of Avalon She's waiting there for you The Lady of the Lake You must be brave and true Avalon, Avalon Mystic power's in your hand Take the blade and free the land Unite the kingdom sea to sea Excalibur, your destiny In the mists of Avalon She's waiting there for you The Lady of the Lake You must be brave and true Avalon, Avalon In your heart you must be true Abuse the power she gave to you Betray your vows, you'll stand alone Excalibur, return to stone In the mists of Avalon She's waiting there for you The Lady of the Lake You must be brave and true Avalon, Avalon In the mists of Avalon She's waiting there for you In the mists of Avalon She's waiting there for you In the mists of Avalon She's waiting there for you 05. Call To Arms
A telegram came today
It's taking me far away Away from the ones I love I put my faith in God above We march toward the sound of distant guns White fire lighting up the sky We came to fight and die in fields of blood We'll follow the call to arms I will write you every day Hope our love won't fade away You give me strength to carry on Until the final day is done This hell, this hell is where we live and die We fall, comrades by our side We pray to make it through another day To follow the call to arms If I die, please don't forget me If I live, I want to live free We pray to God, these days will end And bring us back safe to your arms I've saved all your letters I keep them pressed close to my heart And they won't stop a bullet They just keep me closer to you than apart We live; we gotta live free We die; remember me We pray to make it through another day To follow the call to arms Telegram came today It's taking me far away Away from the ones I love I put my faith in God above A telegram came today It's taking me far away Away from the ones I love I put my faith in God above We march toward the sound of distant guns White fire lighting up the sky We came to fight and die in fields of blood We'll follow the call to arms I will write you every day Hope our love won't fade away You give me strength to carry on Until the final day is done This hell, this hell is where we live and die We fall, comrades by our side We pray to make it through another day To follow the call to arms If I die, please don't forget me If I live, I want to live free We pray to God, these days will end And bring us back safe to your arms I've saved all your letters I keep them pressed close to my heart And they won't stop a bullet They just keep me closer to you than apart We live; we gotta live free We die; remember me We pray to make it through another day To follow the call to arms Telegram came today It's taking me far away Away from the ones I love I put my faith in God above 06. Chasing The Bullet
I've been working like a dog
I need some time I've been running around in circles Out of my mind I've got to pay my bills And get away I've had about enough I'm not gonna stay We're chasing, chasing the bullet We're chasing, chasing the bullet Chasing the bullet I need a long vacation A little bit of therapy I'm not gonna get it here Until I'm running free The clock keeps ticking on the wall I'm running out of time Just staring into space I need a sign We're chasing, chasing the bullet We're chasing, chasing the bullet Chasing the bullet, bullet Everybody's left I'm on my own I'm climbing up the walls I wanna go home The phone's ringing off the hook The world is on the line I'm running around in circles Out of my mind We're chasing, chasing the bullet Chasing, chasing the bullet We're chasing, chasing the bullet Chasing, chasing the bullet Chasing the bullet Chasing the bullet Chasing the bullet 07. Afterburner
I pull the throttle back
Ready to attack Turn the bow around Into the wind Waiting for the rush Engines on full thrust We shoot a metal bird Into the sky Power screaming, burning Afterburner, afterburner Let the eagle's cry Launch into the sky Like birds of prey They circle high above you We on the mighty beast The challenger unleashed The messengers of death Will come among you Power screaming, burning Afterburner, afterburner Afterburner, afterburner I pull the throttle back Ready to attack Like birds of prey They circle high above you Waiting for the rush Engines on full thrust The messengers of death Will come among you Power screaming, burning Afterburner, afterburner Afterburner, afterburner Afterburner, afterburner Afterburner, afterburner 08. When Doomsday Comes
Resistance is futile
There's nowhere to hide We've ran out of options We've fought with the time We wait for tomorrow To see if it comes Defenses are pointless It's inevitable Where will we be What will we do When doomsday comes When doomsday comes It's just an illusion Nothing is real We're here for a moment And then disappear Where will we be What will we do When doomsday comes When doomsday comes When doomsday comes Can't stop the feeling Of being alone Dark and foreboding It's taking its toll The end of tomorrow Will nothing survive To remember the feeling Of being alive Where will we be What will we do When doomsday comes When doomsday comes 09. No Rest For The Wicked
You're like lambs to the slaughter
Stand in line and wait your turn I am the destroyer This thing, you quickly learn Have no fear and come with me Enter my reality I am your hybrid curse This is my universe No rest for the wicked No rest till the work is done No rest for the wicked No peace for the chosen ones Take your chance and start to run This game of death has just begun If you die, I still exist This will be your nemesis No rest for the wicked No rest till the work is done No rest for the wicked No peace for the chosen ones Welcome to my sacrifice Have you come to spend the night? Have no fear and come with me Enter my reality In this place where darkness dwells You will face your private hells In my labyrinth of fire I will build your funeral pyre No rest for the wicked No rest till the work is done No rest for the wicked No peace for the chosen ones 11.
