Onto the field of Clontarf
Warlords scream in Both pagan and christian of heart An age comes to end The ground shall bare the mark Of glory's crimson stain Battle is night Raise up your eyes Look to the sky Valkyries fly Two honored chieftains collide Battle begins Comes the Grey God with one eye Fighting within The ground shall bare the mark Of glory's crimson stain Battle is night Raise up your eyes Look to the sky Valkyries fly The age of old gods ending Replaced by man's misgivings But still the ravens call to Odin The ground shall bare the mark Of glory's crimson stain The spears of Clontarf gleaming The blood and sweat is streaming Resounding battle horns are calling Grey one eye apparition Grey hand of doom so viscous The Valkyrie choose from the fallen The age of old gods ending Replaced by man's misgivings But still the ravens call to Odin 02. Stand Your Ground
Revolution
Against the church and the crown Retribution Scottish clans stand their ground Border reivers Striking out at the realm Vengeance reapers Stand their ground and rebel Defenders of the clans Onward we ride hell bound Come down from the Highlands For freedom stand your ground By sword and shield Victory or the grave We'll take the field Win our freedom this day Defenders of the clans Onward we ride hell bound Come down from the Highlands For freedom stand your ground 03. The Battle of Bonchester Bridge
When the full moon is high
Fog creeping in Hear the sounds of the fight No one can win Echoing outlawed pipes Hauntingly played As the ghosts of brave knights Still fight this day Spectres still waging war In their deaths wake Battling evermore Till the daybreak Known throughout the Borders The Bloody Ridge Ghostly place of honor Bonchester Bridge Heaven still weeps For those noble souls Each full moon brings An army of warrior ghosts Haunting pipes sing Through the Border hills Heroes of dream Reliving the battle Heaven still weeps For those noble souls Each full moon brings An army of warrior ghosts Haunting pipes sing Through the Border hills Heroes of dream Reliving the battle 04. Hermitage
To guard the bastard son
That someday could be king The Elliott reiver clans Were charged with the bidding And as the tale is told This monster grew with age Torturing flesh and soul Inside the Hermitage The spirits stir again In ruins still it stands The keep of doom The Hermitage The Lord of Liddlesdale De Soulis be the name Whose grim debauchery Had earned a tyrant's fame A soulless pedophile Who wanted to be thane Who left a wake of death Behind his bloody reign The spirits stir again In ruins still it stands The keep of doom The Hermitage I felt the energy And stood within its walls I've seen the grey pale light Inside the ancient halls I've seen the pit of doom The dungeon of despair And felt the breath of hell Within the tyrant's lair The spirits stir again In ruins still it stands The keep of doom The Hermitage His body boiled alive Inside a vat of lead His ghost still haunts the keep His spirit trapped in death The spirits stir again In ruins still it stands The keep of doom The Hermitage 05. Do What Thou Will
You have to do what thou will
You've got to free yourself Is your cup empty or filled Wisdom is the true wealth Through science, man has evolved Into the master race Embracing the eight fold law Your will is your own fate If you believe That all your dreams Shall be fulfilled You will achieve What you can be Do what thou will Reaching out unto the muse Searching for the lost chord Seeking the metal that's true Scream out and raise your sword If you believe That all your dreams Shall be fulfilled You will achieve What you can be Do what thou will 06. Only The Brave
Metal mayhem and wonder
Rolling on through the night Bringing down holy thunder In the circle of light No one shall put asunder What we've forged here in fire Let the halls of Valhalla resounding Hail to the god with one eye If we must all go down in flames We'll go down fighting in Thor's name We'll ride the thunder to the grave Wielding death by the hammer Glory comes only to the brave Stand for metal and honor Raise your blades to the light Let the war cries of Midgard ring out Press on and never say die If we must all go down in flames We'll go down fighting in Thor's name We'll ride the thunder to the grave Wielding death by the hammer Glory comes only to the brave 07. Hallowed Be Thy Grave
There's tombs of the unknown soldiers
Round all the world For honored and fallen warriors Names lost to the earth Their stories will never be told Lost for all times In memory of soldiers unknown And their sacrifice Hallowed be thy grave For the freedom of the ones you saved Hallowed be thy grave For the honor and the lives you gave The battlefields run red with blood Across the lands Souls flow through the gates like a flood The stain upon man These fallen ones never shall know Glory or fame Each soldier, an unknown hero Hallowed be thy grave Hallowed be thy grave For the freedom of the ones you saved Hallowed be thy grave For the honor and the lives you gave 08. The Fountain
I'm drawn, like a moth to the light, in the mist
As my ship rolls over the sea I've quested so long and I've traveled so far My treasure, an elusive dream I've never looked back on the things that I missed And still, in my heart, I believe That soon I shall find the fountain of life Fill my soul with it's sweet mead Search 'til the end of all time, if I must I'll never give up my beliefs Carry the torch, 'til my life turns to dust Never let go of my dreams No, I never let go of my dreams Still, I believe My destiny drives me to stay on this path And seek out the fountain of life I've come so far now, that there's no turning back I'll find the fountain or die Through jungles and forests, I've search for the place That feeds the gods' great tree of life I'm sure it's the truth, the well spring of youth Is waiting there, for me to find Search 'til the end of all time, if I must I'll never give up my beliefs Carry the torch, 'til my life turns to dust Never let go of my dreams No, I never let go of my dreams Still, I believe I'm drawn, like a moth to the light, in the mist As my ship rolls over the sea I've quested so long and I've traveled so far My treasure, an elusive dream I've never looked back on the things that I missed And still, in my heart, I believe That soon, I shall find the fountain of life Fill my soul with it's sweet mead Search 'til the end of all time, if I must I'll never give up my beliefs Carry the torch, 'til my life turns to dust Never let go of my dreams No, I never let go of my dreams Still, I believe 09. The Calling
[Instrumental]
10. Mysterium
[I. Sea of Dreams]
O'er the sea of dreams, he sailed As the fair winds turned to gales Come to search the land outback Seeking knowledge that we lacked The sea of dreams The sea of dreams Ludwig Leichhardt was his name Explorer, destined for fame He would find his quest to be Across the sea of dreams The sea of dreams The sea of dreams [II. The Quest] With compass and journal He set out 'cross the lands To seek Australia's truths For science and for man From east to northern coast He charted lands unseen Received a heroes name For all his honoured deeds Then came the final quest To trek from coast to coast It proved to be his last And turned him to a ghost [III. Into the Unknown] Into the outbacks unknown Venturing from coast to coast His expedition lost, vanished with no trace Except for 'L's' carved in trees A burnt gun sling, near Sturt Creek Bearing his name plate, stamped 1848 We may never really know What fate befell our heroes Australia's lost patrol Is still a mystery For science and adventure His work, a valued treasure Into the great unknown His life's destiny Following his dreams Into history |
