From the grave comes the storm
fire and ice, and battle horns. Through the night a dark star burns Titans fight, the King returns. Demons eyes spread fear in pain Throughout the minds of those too sane To realize this is no game, Drinking the lies in Heaven's name. Spear of tin, forged by Muse Majik mound of Crom. Some they learn, some they burn In the wake of Metalstorm. From the veils blows the storm. Lightning strikes from the sword. Warriors ride upon the wind. All Hallows Night, the hunt begins. Lord of Flies doth spread the plage Throughout the lives of those to blame. For all the lies in Heaven's name The Lords of Light shall rise again. Holy Grail, Silver sails, Court of Avalon. Some they learn, some they burn In the wake of Metalstorm. 02. Open The Gates Music & lyrics by Manilla Road
Before the walls come curmbling
Down around our feet; Before the empires fall And Hell enslaves the free; Before our time runs out The spells must soon be cast; We'll raise the banners high And storm the gates at last. Tonight we fight. The Norns decide our fate. Fight well in Hell ! Open the Gates ! This night the Gates of Hell Come crashing to the ground. The sword Excalibur Was lost but now is found. Arthurs does rise again, The Dragons Lord of old. Just like the Bards have said In all the tales they told. Tonight we fight. The Norns decide our fate. Fight well in Hell ! Open the Gates ! 03. Astronomica Music & lyrics by Manilla Road
Under the stars
It's written in the cards, All the myths that bards Have sung through history. The future's not so cold Just trust the ways of old Magik can save the soul And set the spirit free. It's not just fantasy. Heavenly bodies, Astrological minds, Seeking out the wisdom Of the stars at night, To snatch from the heavens The thunderbolt of light And then the sceptre From the tyrat's side. Nigth after nigth They shine on so bright, All the ancient ligths Shall never fade away. Astronomica ! The laws that bind us all To keep us from the fall Unto the stars we gaze And pray Living for the future, Living for the night, Living for the masters, Holy guardians of light. Jupites is rising Over the table round, Sword of fire and Lightning Ancients Rites have found. Fight after fight They shine on so bright, All the ancient knights Shall never fade away. Astronomica ! The laws that bind us all To keeps us from the fall Unto the stars we gaze And pray. Universal wisdom Of the Gods of old; A conquerer's freedom Is the danger zone. Astromomic wasteland Darkened and cold Where the new born King stands With sword of the throne. Nigth after nigth They shine on so bright All the ancient ligths Shall never fade away. Astronomica, The laws that bind us all To keep us from the fall. Unto the stars we gaze And pray. 04. Weavers Of The Web Music & lyrics by Manilla Road
Cries will fill the dead of nigth
Screaming for the morning light. Insane maneuvers of the mind. Shall sow the wrath of all mankind. In crystal towers off the shore I've seen the ligth of evermore But politics has barred the door And left us no way out but war. It could happen today Unless we learn to change our ways Warlords lead us to death, They're Weavers of the Web. My soul calls out to all of life To stop this hell and end the strife Stand us for your humane rigth Reject the web with all your might. Inside the charms of anciente lore There's magik truth and much, much more, But new beliefs have slammed the door, Shut out the light of Everymore. It could happen today Unless we learn to change our ways. Warlords lead us to death, They're Weavers of the Web. 05. The Ninth Wave Music & lyrics by Manilla Road
For all the tortured
And all the slaves Arthur did rise On the Ninth Wave To rule the Britains And lead the brave Out of the darkness Of their day. Dragonships Rise from the sea Three Queens bring The new born King. From Merlin's Magik The stones were placed. He raised the mist Opened the gates. From crystal waters The Lady's Lake Did rise the sword Of Midgar's fate. Dragonships Rise from the sea Three Queens bring The new born King. There once was a time When devine light shown And the Lady of the Lake Raised the sword of the Throne. And the wind shall howl Totentanz Einhereir of Valhalla Rise Dragonships Rise from the sea Three Queens bring The new born King. Valhallan warriors Ride be his side The Dragon mist Crawls through the night. Avalon's iron gates No longer cry Einherierer Storm to the fight. Dragonships Rise from the sea Three Queens bring The new born King 06. Heavy Metal To The World Music & lyrics by Manilla Road
The fires of Mars shall burn
From this we all shall learn; The gates unbarred at last Heavy metal in my ears Is all I ever want to hear. Before the sands of time run out We'll stand our ground and all scream out ! Scream out ! Heavy Metal To the worl tonight, Heavy Metal To the... Heavy Metal's here to stay, We'll never see it's dying day. Let slaugthers truth be in the past. Let's give our youth a lasting chance, Scream out ! Heavy Metal To the world tonight, Heavy Metal To the... Heavy Metal To the World tonight, Heavy Metal To the world. 07. The Fires Of Mars Music & lyrics by Manilla Road
The fires of Mars shall burn
From this we all shall learn; The gates unbarred at last Banishing the past. The standard raised on high Pen-Dragon rides this night Against the mighty Horde With legion of the Sword......the Sword. Warriors at the end of time, Masters of light, Feed the fires, storm the gates It's not too late. The mighty spear of Tiw Drinks deep the blood anew Of Demon Lords from Hell Who are poisoning the well......the well. Warriors at the end of time, Master of light, Feed the fires, storm the gates It's not too late. The Trinity, three Norns of Fate, All-Father's Knights open the gates. Golden wisdom from the stars Bids us light the Fires of Mars, Light the Fires of Mars. In war there's always loss All victories have their cost. But hope shall conquer hate For light Open the Gates, Open the Gates. Through the mists of Hell we ride To the battle side by side For survival of mankind The Fires of Mars shall burn this night. Through the mists of Hell we ride To the battle side by side For survival of mankind The Fires of Mars shall burn this night, Burn this night. 08. Road Of Kings Music & lyrics by Manilla Road
Rising swords
Lead the sons into the battle. Rising stars mark this night, The Dragon is re-born. Demon Lords What do you see inside your mind? Is it your dreams or just the torment of life? Break away from your anxieties today Don't ever let them drag you down. Conquer for life inside your dreams. We'll never outlive all the schemes Of darker spirits in between. We're on the road, the Road of Kings. What do you see in your minds eye? Is it the fate of mankind to die? Do you know or do you want to find the road Back to the light before the dawn? Conquer for life inside your dreams. We'll never outlive all the schemes Of darker spirits in between. We're on the road, the Road of Kings. What did you see behind the line? Was it really what you expected to find? On the road you must learn to take is slow, A King won't rise before his time. Conquer for life inside your dreams. We'll never outlive all the schemes Of darker spirits in between. We're on the road, the Road of Kings. Strong we will ve On the Road of Kings For what glory it brings us. 09. Hour Of The Dragon Music & lyrics by Manilla Road
Rising swords
Lead the sons into the battle. Rising stars mark this night, The Dragon is re-born. Demon Lords Shall not fell me from the saddle. Tiw and Mars mark this night, We blow the victory horn. Blow on. To wait till tomorrow Is for fools in their sorrow. It's now or never. It's the hour of the Dragon. Muse of chords Raise the Dragon from the castle. Northern stars burning bright, We free the Holy Sword. Face the Horde Die for glory and Valhalla. Fires of Mars burns this night. Ride with the Dragon Lord. Ride on. To wait till tomorrow Is for fools in their sorrow. It's now or never. It's the hour of the Dragon. 10. Witches Brew Music & lyrics by Manilla Road
Inside the maze of fire
Kindled with desire Boiling the cauldron true Filled with witches' brew. Three Norns stand at the gates, Mater of the Fates Who keep the ancient runes, Howl at the silver moon. Would you drink the witches' brew, Blood of wisdom shed for you? Watch the dead rise from the grave And turn the monsters into slaves. Father of Tiw Long dead warriors rise for you. We drink the brew. Fire and water, earth and sky, Feast of torches lights the night; Hounds of Yeth bay at the moon; The blood of life is Witches' brew. Father of Tiw Einhereir doth rise for you. We drink the brew, Witches' brew. |
