The wind blows strong
Whipping the deck Black swan of sea, fly on the waves The dark prophecy, "bows to the west" Said a voice in me Don't ask me to live in the fear of death Don't ask me to die on the straw Better to be food for raven's somewhere Better to die with a sword in my hand Chorus: Lord of the Wind Take me where the sun goes down Lord of the Wind Over there, over there! Lord of the Wind, Lord of the Wind Take me fastly Oh, Lord of Wind 02. Under The Sign Of Odin's Raven
Under the sign of Odin's ravens
Among the flags the wild wind's screaming And the forest of steel Shines there, shines there The hissing cloud of arrows is like Black deadly hail obscuring the sky Whisper of death, whisper of death Behind the shield still we stand Waiting to fight, then you can Hear the voice of my sword Forged by the dwarfs Follow the sign of Odin's ravens The raing horde without cravens Restless heart, restless blood But if I fall on the battlefield Mercyful daughter of Asgard Lord Make me fly to the sky To the hero hall 03. Hussard De La Mort
No thoughts about tomorrow
Just the pleasure of the flame In this night of starlit sorrow Say a wish without shame Wine and songs until the dawn Because we cannot sleep tonight Sing until the chill is gone No rest before the fight Thousand fires in the dark Thousand lives on that side In their hearts war leaves same mark Fear and sadness to hide Tomorrow we turn the sky In the horrid vault of hell Like a wind of steel we'll fly Sabre stikes hate's like a spell Spur your horse towards the fire In a challenge with the death Shake the ground in a roar so dire Glory sound, the thunder breath Chorus: Hussard de la morte, never wonder "Why?" Hussard de la morte, dark sister by your side 04. Ride Of Templars
Riding and flying on the wings of storm
Under the shadow of the "beauceant" In the solitude of this sea of sand Steel may be a good companion Templar knights come in the dawn Like a white storm of blood thirsty birds Breaking in the enemy camp In a whirlwind of swords Twenty two against one thousand Cutting shields breaking bodies Furiously hammering in the bloody mist of battle Under the red light of sky Chorus: Black and white, darkness and light Death and life, pray and fight Cross and crescent, evil and good All that is called "Bathomet" Feel the sweet caress of the warm breeze of dunes Hear the wail of wind through the mountains The visions fade away On the red hot sand So close your eyes Son of the northern mist Awake the knowledge Light of the torch inside Man came from over the sea 05. Innoxia (Vercingetorix)
You can see the silver eagles
You can hear the marching legions Let fall your sword in the dust Cause it's time to close your eyes The sacrifice of your life Is the only way to survive For your people, the Gauls, you know It's the twilight of your age Chorus: Then go and meet your doom Covered with your flashing steel Ride through the marching legion Shine as a god But your name will be written Forever in the eternal stone of legend Forever you will ride on a wind On the ages and the centuries Chorus Before Caesar you will fall King of the Barbarians So the Gauls will survive But no mercy for you, only death Without honours you will die 06. Wrath Of North
A flight of the dragons
And awful storm in the sky Were the dark omens That announced the disgrace The ride of many invaders Was like the scourge of god Came to punish All the human sins In the darkness of this age There's no light of mercy Deep is the abyss Where the world has fallen Oh lord save our lives From the rage of the steel Came to punish All the human sins Fight, fight for your life The northern giants came here to prey Fight, fight to survive But the Odin's crows, The Odin's crows Will fly away Cry, cry your battle cry The northern giants came here to prey Cry, cry for your life The screaming hordes you have to face Cry, cry your battle cry But the Odin's crows, The Odin's crows Will fly away 07. King Of Crows (The Dream Of Ronabwy)
You came here on the winds of a dream
In the heroes age Little man of a future breed Sleeping on an ox skin Two armies are fighting Before your unbeliever eyes The crows and the dragon Best warriors are falling One by one today You play a chess game With the life of your men King of all the kings Listen to the king of crows owein Or no one will remain Your hands turn to golden dust The chessmen of that foolish game The battle is over And now you are aware Of your insanity You play a chess game With the life of your men King of all the kings Listen to the king of crows owein Or no one will remain 08. Stone Giants
The stones rise in the foggy plain
Laid by giant hands Gave us from a mysterious age Silent witness of the ancient rites Creatures of hell or mortal men Who was the creator of this? Whim of giants or human force Only the ancestors know these secrets Chorus: Mighty stones for the gods In a timeless place Hymn of giants for the gds Sanctuary of light The stones are the dark message from the past Laid by giant hands The song of wind blows in the night Voices in the dark Sacrifice to the gods Bloody cult in many tales Holy place for many cults It rose in the name of the bright god of light 09. Black Conqueror
The eyes like fiery embers
Smoking nostrils and flowing mane Untamed steed of hell Sent by death This black mount as fast as wind Will lead you to eternal flames So furious you are riding Black conqueror Chorus: Fly like arrow Through valleys and plains On the back of the demon horse Towards the thresholds of the Hades Is the dark conqueror end Through your kingdom you are flying You are trying to pull the reins But the beast is stronger than you Mad race to the burning chasm 10. The Cave
Foggy is the forest where the idols are of stone
And eternal is the silence where the force rises on Here is this cave of knowledge force and wisdom I will get So my ashes fly on the wind of northern lands Eagle by blazing eyes will be my silent guide Until the day when the army of just will triumph Red dragon will sweep away the howling wolves Usurpers go back to the shores of your land Thunderous is the night and stormy is the sea The spirit of the flame will show me the way Of the dragon I feel the talon Of the dragon I feel the breath The king of all kings tonight will be born Chorus: Messenger of destiny I will be tonight Sent to make our kingdom In the eye of time Once my doom I saw Cruel price I have to pay Thousands diamonds of pain A sword and a scepter in his doom written much time ago The sands of time will never wash away his immortal name The ancestral forces of universe will guide us to victory So spur your battle horse and fight the good fight The fire clouds of the sunset will rise on the battle field The silence of death is going down so gloomy Victorious the weapons we raise to the sky The cruel tyrant is dead but I wait for tonight 11. Thermopiles
Sky without stars
In the house of Hades Nevermore sun In the realm of shadows I know my future I know my doom I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid Doom is written In their number now River of bronze Flowing down the horizon That is my future That is my doom I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid Narration, the oracle of Delphi (from "The Histories?" of Herodotus) Oh Ares! Bitter god of war Fatal to the men, here I swear They will never see our backs Oh Zeus! A last look to the sun Not yet hidden by the darts, no doubt for the choose We'll be like oaks in the storm And when the smoke of our pyres Burning on the battlefield Reaching the sky Then you will know Which was our doom We were not afraid, we were not afraid 12. Iron Shadows
Dark was the dawn and biting was the air
The strong wind of death blew in the snowy plain While the warriors of two tribes Were waiting to fight for their lives Hard were the times and cruel was the price To pay to survive in this dark age And so blew the deep battle horns The sharp iron drank blood without rest They fought as the lions, against the hungry dogs They died like men, on the blood stained snow In the fury of battle born a son of king "Victory" was written on the book of doom His father gave him a mighty sword And told him: "You always trust in this faithful steel" When he grew strong as the storm He went through the world thirsty for vengeance Until he found the wicked man And the strong wind of death blew again They fought as the lions, against the hungry dogs He won like a hero, on the blood stained stone |
