02. Battle Hard

March into The Trollmors
Waging war up the mounds of bones
Slashing through the thick hide of the swamp-kin
Ready The Fire!!!

Pride inside, it's why we fight
Power coursing through our thick veins
We dig deep our boots into the soil of fate

Enchanted blades
Cut through the limbs of the opposing force
A smile creeps up on my face
As I ready my scroll of flame
Brothers Unite! The time is now!

Mountains crumble under our march

We're on the front-lines
Our spirit is strong
Never backing down
We will always battle hard

Through our power inside
Burning deep within
I will always battle hard

The sight and sound of an epic storm
The rain seeps through our torn chain mail
We look to our brothers in arms
We'll Fight Till Sunrise!

The blessings of the cleric
Allow us to destroy our foe
Swords with dripping black smoke
Kill the trolls before they hit the ground
Champions of the land return to the hillside
Where they lay down their arms for now
They know that the time will come again to
Defend Their Homeland!

See our fury build up
As we march towards
What could be our certain death
Across the river
We are the proud few
We are the chosen ones
We're one with the gods
We will always battle hard
Our spirits burns bright
Through the darkness of the night
We've fought long and hard
Now its time to let down our guard
Battle hard for your friends
Battle hard for your love
Battle hard for your dreams
Battle hard for your life

03. Beyond The Mountain Wasteland

Fight! The spirit in the night, crawls towards the light
Which protects us from her wrath but she knows the path
Our land is our lives, we guard it with honour
Starlit skies up high, the air is crisp and cold

I feel it deep inside, billowing with pride
Defend it to death, an oath in blood to god
Pledged to be the one, the war has begun

Her forces, have overrun our flanks, arrows flying high
We gather in our line, no fear is in our eyes
we clinch our steel so tight, the homes they did ignite
I can still hear their cries, why'd the innocent have to die?

Cries I hear them deep inside, so many have died
a morbid sight to see, It picks the core of me
Ran away from home, she's come to steal the tome

Runaway, retreat to the hills for you lives
Ride on high, remember this day for your life
Beyond the mountain wasteland is where we reside
With our courage for forevermore

I have heard of a tale, which speaks of a vale
Inside this lies the key, laid next to an old tree
Immense power lies within, our remission of sin
We'll fight again another day, the enemies will pay

My love is dead and gone, memories not foregone
I pledge to be the one, who will get this done
Bring the war to her own land, i'll need more men to stand

Runaway, retreat to the hills for you lives
Ride on high, remember this day for your life
Beyond the mountain wasteland is where we reside
With our courage for forevermore

I feel it deep inside, billowing with pride
Defend it to death, an oath in blood to god
Pledged to be the one, the war has begun

Runaway, retreat to the hills for you lives
Ride on high, remember this day for your life
Beyond the mountain wasteland is where we reside
With our courage for forevermore

04. For The Glory Of The Throne

My love is dead and gone, memories not foregone
I pledge to be the one, who will get this done
Bring the war to her own land, I'll need more men to stand

Runaway, retreat to the hills for you lives
Ride on high, remember this day for your life
Beyond the mountain wasteland is where we reside
With our courage for forevermore

I feel it deep inside, billowing with pride
Defend it to death, an oath in blood to god
Pledged to be the one, the war has begun

Runaway, retreat to the hills for you lives
Ride on high, remember this day for your life
Beyond the mountain wasteland is where we reside
With our courage for forevermore
Rage the only feeling
The emotion worth feeling
Fist clenched, knuckles white
The enemy fleeing
I stand high and hold victory
The king will be pleased

Fought for so long
For the glory of the throne
All my heart desires
Is to just go home
I have never been one to
Shy away from blood
But all my heart desires
Is for this to just be done

Plow through the never ending
Waves and the currents
Pushing my horse to gallop faster
I see the hills crest the horizon
I can see my family

But i know my time with them
Is short and sweet
I'll long for the extra moment
The next time that we meet
Back to the front lines
The command has come
Back to the front lines

05. Kingdom Of Ale

So raise your glass
It may be your last
We ride in the battle at dawn

So raise your glass, and toast to your lads
Who have long departed for the kingdom of ale
Pound back the sacred brew, let it overpower your soul

Pull back the reins, the time has come
Souls will pass before this war is done
Rip, crunch, break through the lines
This was how we fought for a good kings mind

So ride on strong, the battle's not done
We'll push on hard, this war will be won

Kingdom of Ale, we cherish and honor thee
Kingdom of Ale, we drink to your power
For the king, for the land,
Men have fought and men have died
So drink to your kingdom of ale

Attack our foes with muscle and brawn
We'll never tire till the break of dawn
Stationed here by our kings command
We were bread from birth to protect our land

Tales across the land, we've really redefined
We need to bear in mind, that our fates are intertwined
Charge on ahead, feel the heat of the sun
I don't know about you but this is what i call fun

Death on the battlefield is the greatest glory of all

I'll send you into the
Kingdom of Ale, we cherish and honor thee
Kingdom of Ale, we drink to your power
For the king, for the land,
Men have fought and men have died
So drink to your kingdom of ale

So raise your glass and toast to your lads in the kingdom of ale
We'll never run, we'll never back down and we cannot ever die

Kingdom of Ale, we cherish and honor thee
Kingdom of Ale, we drink to your power
For the king, for the land,
Men have fought and men have died
So drink to your kingdom of ale

Kingdom of Ale, we cherish and honor thee
Kingdom of Ale, we drink to your power
With the blood on our hands
We will soon meet again
So drink to our kingdom of ale

06. Quest For The Sword

All along the front lines, we're all away
I feel the power call, it beckons me
My hair stands on end in the night sky
All of the reasons for my pain

Oh!

I know the way to get my prize
Its through a dark forest
Ambition to become the savior of the land
Assemble all my men and ready your arms
The time to act is now

Row!

I see it through, see it through the light
I'll search for the sword of darkness
I've found a way, never stalling, always
Searching for the sword of darkness

I feel its power pulling at my soul
Don't look back men we're almost there
The eternal light will be returned to us
This is the call of my destiny

Find the way
On your own

This is the end of existence beware
Only the corrupt may wield it
Fear's the emotion that holds my hand back
No other reason than its my destiny

Its my destiny!

07. Lost In A Dark Forest

We march, towards the woods
To reclaim our most prized possession
We embark upon a quest for
Revenge and pillaging

Those who have entered did not return to us
The forest is evil
They have been turned to dust

We know the risk ahead
We feel the power of the darkest sin
The trees,they look alive
Our magic does not work within

I think I heard a sound
Men form around me now
Unsheathe your swords
And pray to the god of war
Here they come...

Fight
With all your might
Charge on ahead
Deny your fate
Lost in a dark forest
Hey!

We move throughout the day
I swear to god that we've come this way
The grove reveals a trove
A key inside, the thicket divides

I feel the woods compel me to move ahead
They separate and allow me to tread
We've found a way

We move through the day
And we will make them pay
And we will never stop until they're found
Their bodies in the ground

08. Journey's End

We emerge from the dark forest
My men, they are the best
The head count is cut in half
It fuels our soldiers wrath
The archers ready their bows
The mages prepare their scrolls
We can see her holding the light
Our rage she did incite

Fight for your life with strife
Battle hard into the night

Our footsteps shake the earth
Notwithstanding to our death
We meet her troops on the battle lands
Our destiny is in our hands
Dead bodies litter the ground
Where they lay is their burial mound
Our tactics are renowned
The execution was Profound

Hold on
You cannot prophesize
Be strong
Cause its our time to rise
Destroy
Fear not, you will ascend
This is, our Journey's end

I approach her on our stage
My eyes glowing with rage
I clench my steel with might
I will spill her blood with delight
Her figure turns to black
She's instantly taken my back
How did she move so fast
This moment could be my last

How could this be?
This can't be happening to me!

I fall to the dirt
Yet surprisingly she's inert
I swing wildly with my mace
And connect squarely with her face
I take our eternal light
This is not the end of the fight
Its light makes her decay
