No Country, no Law, no Religion, no more
No God, no Light, no Power, this Night Lord Priam you stand Horizons once Grand I Slay, I Crush your Towers to Dust Broken under Lash and Sword, on the Black Horizon Shine your Graves Kingdom of the fearless Kingdom of Gods Light up the Sky, Light up the World as we run Kingdom of the fearless Kingdom of Gods Light up the Sky, Burning the World as we run Great Violence withstands the Blood commands The Angel of Death, Black Wings caress Your Kingdom of Lies, Immortal Youth dies A Lion of Ruin, a Whirlwind of Doom Broken under Lash and Sword, on this Dark Horizon Shine your Graves Kingdom of the fearless Kingdom of Gods Light up the Sky, Light up the World as we run Kingdom of the fearless Kingdom of Gods Light up the Sky, Burning the World as we Ride down the Centuries into the Sun Cursing the Dark, cursing the Light Bronze wielding Sons of War, Fame Forged in Fear I will be there, I will not cower Flames of Violence soothe the Breast of Honour Burned Into the Valley, into the Valley we cry again! Die to Kill Your Daughter's now mine You're Flesh for the worms In Bondage you weep/my Hatred will never die Cry the Blood Burns Black in Fury I will Fear no Man, for I am a God! No Country, no Law, no Religion, for sure! No Life, no Faith, no Quarter, Death waits Lost Season in Shame, your People in Chains For Honour, for Zeus, for Xenia, for Truth To the Underworld advance, or the Dark Ships waiting Cry your last! Kingdom of the fearless Kingdom of Gods Light up the Sky, Light up the World as we run Kingdom of the fearless kingdom of gods Light up the Sky, Light up the World as we Ride like Thunder down from the Plains Over the Mountains Bronze Shield and Flame None can withstand Hatred UnMasked In Blood shall pay! I kill you all die, by the Blood of the Gods By the Blood on my Sword you sleep in Hell Die, Die, die! 02. Blaze Of Victory
Blessed Gods, Cold Stars, release me from my long suffering
Anxious, Weary, my Mind wracked by Fears unnatural I Scan The Horizon Watching, hoping for Signs of the Signal Fire Great Gift of Prometheus, reward me with the news that Troy has Finally Fallen! It is She who commands me thus to remain upon this Palace roof Watching, waiting that willful, calculating Woman, who plots And Schemes, like a King! No sleep, no Dreams, only Fear descends upon my couch and Ravages My Heart Yes Sorrow and Fear for what's become of this House Once so Great, now lost and cold, Hungry Spirits stalk these Halls But still I'll keep my Faith and Pray for our release from all This suffering Look there at last Conquest Great Blaze of Triumph, I Greet thee, I Honour thee most Welcome Visitor from the Depths Of the Night Rape the Sky like a Royal Sun, turn this Mournful Night into Shining Day! Awake Queen of Agamemnon, rise from thy sleep Cry the Morning Song of Victory, for the Kingdom of Ilion has Fallen The God of Fire proclaims it so We'll reap this Harvest of Flame, give Thanks and Pay Tribute To the Deities that made us Oh let it be so, let our Fleet return in Honour Over Lord Poseidon?s Sea, safe from Wind and Storm Let me stand before my King and Pledge him Sword and Life for his Glory A Thorn grips my voice, no more from me now Yet if this House could speak what a Tale it could tell Of Savage Murder, Betrayal, Ravenous Feasting and a Daimon with an Unquenchable thirst for Blood and Torn Flesh! No, no more from me, let actions speak awake! 03. Through The Ring Of Fire
Guardian of the Lies of Faith
Darker now this Tale of Hate Look into the Eyes of Death Buried in another's Flesh Fate guide my Hand as I ride Hell's Wind Hole in the Sky where the Blackest Spirits Rage Through the ring of fire Through the ring of pain Through the ring of fire, I am born again Through the ring of fire Through the ring of pain Through the ring of fire, I am born again Now you live and now you die Across the Lake of Gorgon's Eyes Crimson Blood, a Hero's Quest Atone for Death with still more Death Hate guides my Hand as I smile within Hole in the Sky where the Blackest Spirits Rage Through the ring of fire Through the ring of pain Through the ring of fire, I am born again Through the ring of fire Through the ring of pain Through the ring of fire, I am born again Right's on the side of our Twin Thrones of War Bold are the Crowns in their Hands Bright are the Signs of the Godhead Justice is found where the Proud Eagles Reign Blind Persuasion, crack the Holy Tearless Eyes Will the True Kings return, Thunder greets you with a Sword Guardian of the Lies of Faith Harken now this Tale of Hate Noble Deeds were done this Day Welcome home your King betrayed Fate guides my hand as I plunge this Blade Hole in your Heart where the Blackest Furies Rage Through the ring of fire Through the ring of pain Through the ring of fire, I am born again Through the ring of fire Through the ring of pain Through the ring of fire, I am born again Hope is Rising with the Sound of our Glory We will see where we lie. 07. Return Of The King
Return of the Hero, our Conquering King
Agamemnon our Lord, you'll know here in time If Fortune in War guarantees the will of the Crowd All is not well there is Evil in your House tonight Beware thy Name, Black Stars Fall, Forces Rising, time you were gone The Conqueror of Troy wields the Power the Gods have designed Shedding his Daughter?s Red Blood for one Wanton Bride A Dowry of Death, Artemis waits by your side Glory too high is a Dangerous Gift from the Gods Beware thy Queen, Black Stars fall, Voices Rising, time you were gone Lord of the Desert, we welcome him home The Lion of Vengeance, the Death of Priam Fire on the Wind, Fire in the Sky Reaping Black Harvests of Blood, til the End of the Dawn Beware thy Queen, Black Stars fall, Force is Rising, time We were gone! Lord of the Desert, the Hour's at hand The Black Cloak of Evil, the Net of the Damned Fire on the Wind, Fire in the Sky Raping the Heart of the Sun, til the End of the ... Dawn 08. Flames Of The Black Star
I return to the Land of my birth and I Thank the Gods Belief
With Golden Songs and Sacred Vows Through Eons Forge the Millennium, how the Spear Faction Blazed I released the Titan's Pain at last By the flames of the black star! On this Mountain peak where we live, I resume my Rule decreed By Zeus and Father handed down The Victory now here is mine, Judgements price for shameless theft Exacted and Immortalized By the flames of the black star by the strength of herakles arms Flames of the black star Burn in Hades Flames of the black star Shine tonight Flames of the black star Kill with Fire Flames of the black star Shine To the Edge of the World The Hammer of Zeus splits the Sky, cracks the Dark in two Is there one among you who can see the Truth In the Distance Black Rivers flow A Final Warning spoken from the Tomb You live by the Violence and the Soul of the Sun Time has no meaning when the Slaughters begun Rising up in Power, Rage is on my side Brazen Gift of Ancient Madness The Eyes of the World are fastened today The Gods are not blind, they will be consoled An Ocean of Grieving can never return You're never forgiven, your Destiny's earned The Darkness within is taking my hand You're never forgiven, struck in the Eyes of the World Binding your Soul to Hades, flames of the black star! You live by the Violence and the Soul of the Sun They'll be no Tomorrow when the End has Begun The Eyes of the World are Bleeding Today The Crimes of Tomorrow are born here in pain If Terror is scheming, your Freedom is Burned You're never forgiven, your Destiny's earned The Edge of the World awaits, Silent and Proud are the Will Sowing the Seeds of Violence Flames of the black star Burn in Hades Flames of the black star Shine tonight Flames of the black star Kill with Fire Flames of the black star Blind Blind Blind Flames of the black star Shine in my Soul Flames of the black star Shine in my Soul. 10. And Hecate Smiled
Bride of Lawless lies sent Ten Thousand Men to Die
Prophecies un-met still cry Cold we understand Blood and Fear still walk the Land Looking for the Scars we hide from ourselves I see the Fire spreading, I see the Towers Burn I hear the Voices calling, I see the King's return Did they Die for God and Glory, Drowned in Mist, cast from the Light Trapped inside the Line of Fire, Vale of Tears, Passage of Shame On this Day of Doom! 12. Child Of Desolation
Children forlorn, victims of the Daimon within
Oaths made in Violence, punishment in turn There is no Light to guide me on my long and painful Road I wait in Silence, I wait for Death with the last of this Day's Sun Broken Wings, Blood freed upon the air A Trampled Marriage Bed The Father sees, his Gods cry out, the Flesh spills down And Judgement Kills the Crime Gods of the Dead bring me my Life back again I'm fallin', I'm callin Gods of the Dead don't let me die unavenged I'm fallin', I'm callin I won't be here to see them Mourning Enter the Night Emblems of Prophecy, I throw them all away Drink the Fire of the Pitiless God When the Blood of Death has fallen, who can call it back To the Form that it once held Gods of the Dead bring me my Life back again I'm fallin', I'm callin Gods of the Dead don't let me die unavenged I'm fallin', I'm callin And the Dead will taste a deeper Treasure than Youth or Life Bury me beside the Endless Sea, raise my Ashes to the Wind Remember me when Falls another Life, Quench my Funeral Pyre with Wine. 16. The Gift Of Tantalos
Father I've avenged thee and my brothers
See him there, his Blood runs Red in the bath A token of my hatred, your Feast of Flesh I have avenged Thirteen children slain, vile, unholy Requiem Blood from the Skies, the Solemn Rains of Hell Murder, Divine Retribution, Justice for my Tribe Black Sands of Time, stained forever I rejoice at your Death Now I'll be King Watch me take her as you die. 17. Iphigenia In Hades
One Child cries in the Depths of Hades
Baring her breast for her Father to see There will be Love under the soil One child cries to Eternity's Sky Bound on the Altar the Winds Sacrifice Merciless eyes, cruel faces smile One child forced through the Dark Halls of Stone Greeting her Father with Blood on her lips Knowing he'll stay under the soil Revenge And now this shall pass for my Judgement. 18. The Fire God
Cursed by the Priests, torn, twisted and beat
Sentenced to die, by the Sorceress-her Evil Eye God of the Furnace, I call thy Name Please deliver me from the Serpent, the Serpent of Pain The fire god, the fire god Burn all the Sinners in my way Rise up devour-Inferno of Ultimate Power God of Destruction consume them with your Eruption Inflame the Sorceress and the Priests of Evil who bind me Singe them, Burn them, Destroy them Please, please deliver me With Holy Fire, the Golden Pyre Death The fire god, the fire god Burn all the Sinners in my way Kill, eradicate with Fire and Sword! Flames of Vindication! I impale thee on the Great Spike of Hatred By the flames of the black star! The fire god, the fire god I call thy Name, consume my pain! Burn all the Sinners Beyond Death Beyond Death! 19. Garden Of Lamentation
Skies of War, Skies of Peace
Who will answer when you weep I remember you like a child You were fair in my arms As I walked through the Flames of our Love Solemn Night all is Grey Who will answer, none will say I recall every Phase of her Hearts Living Blaze I remember you like a child You were fair in my arms As I walked through the Flames of our Love. 20. Agony And Shame
I'm the King of Fire, I am Anger, I am Pain
I am Savage in my Fury, I'm the World beneath your feet Fools revere your Master, thoughts of War you will disarm I'm the Nightmare with the Aegis and I will not be denied Harpies of no Morals, hands awash in ravaged lives Witness your Perdition as you writhe... in agony and shame! Bursting from the sidelines, locked in firmly now I am Power and Dominion and I will not be denied Don't provoke this Quarrel, Thunder Roars inside I will leave you to the Vultures stripped of all your sickly pride Tyrant of our Sorrow, coward towards the deed With your Stolen bands of Courage, now Assault the Skies Don't tempt me! Gods of War, Gods of our Ancient Might Give me Power to tame the Savage of the Blood Gods of War, Gods of our Painful Fight Give me Power to break the Savage of the Blood Father Zeus, Lord of the Stars that shine Where's the answer that runs from above Show me your Sign, what will I find Eminence and Vision, Treasure, Balance, Pride Or agony and shame! Fight me I'll be avenged for this Life alone or Life as One Faith in Heaven is Faith in Hell Prince of Fortune ride, sadness leave our eyes and shine On all we've Won I Trust you, I want you, I need you til the End of Life. 21. Gate Of Kings
There's a Rainbow, cover it in Blood
There's no Light upon my door There's a Cold Wind, Rising from the Sea There is Death and nothing more. But don't turn away with eyes of the blind There's still Magick in your Soul There is Magick still. Iron Walls and Chains surround us Yet we are Proud and Free Nothing Kills the Ties that Bind us I'll meet you at the gate of kings! There's a Silence tearing up the ground Freezing Heart and Shield and Bone In their grasp I see you as you lay Broken, cold beneath their Rage We won't turn away with eyes of the blind There's still Magick in our Souls There is Magick still. Iron Walls and Chains surround us Yet We are Proud and Free Nothing Kills the Ties that Bind Us I'll meet you at the gate of kings, the gate of kings Iron Walls and Chains surround us Yet We are Proud and Free Nothing Kills the Ties that Bind Us I'll meet you at the gate of kings Iron Walls and Chains surround us Yet We are Proud and Free Nothing Kills the Ties that Bind Us I'll meet you at the gate of kings. |
