The land is swept with silence
And black becomes the sun
The rooster crows, the sign that shows
The battle has begun
The gods ride forth from Asgard's halls
The giants from the east
Preparing for the final war
That spares no man or beast

As We watch from below
From our mortal point of view
This clash of gods
Lays waste to all that we knew

Iron-Clad Angels
They descend from on high
Iron-Clad Angels
They were sworn to fight and die
Fearless they charge into the fray
Destined to die on the final day
Iron-Clad Angels never will betray

Frey engages Surtur
But falls before his might
Garm and Tyr battle without fear
But none survive the final fight
The mountains crumble to the sea
As titans fight and fall
Who will live and who will greet
Their brothers in Valhall?

As the fight carries on
We gaze forth in disarray
For nothing on earth
Prepared us to see this day

The God of Thunder turns to face the serpent's gaping maw
His hammer crashing down upon his deadly snapping jaws
At last the Son of Odin takes the serpent's final breath
But seven paces forth our hero falls down to his death

The time has come for Surtur
To make his final stand
His flaming swords released at last
To burn across the land
The world of men is razed to ash
As the earth is set ablaze
The charred debris sinks into the sea
To complete this end of days

Not one stick or stone
From this world will remain
But fret not my friends
The earth will be born again

We have come to take the rights you have denied
Too late to stem the tide
There will be no quarter for you and your side
We're coming for your hide

So look into the eyes of your enemy
We are pushed beyond all reason
We have chosen our own destiny
We accept your claim of treason
So behold the face of your enemy
The eternal

I am sovereign to this kingdom of corrosion
The architect of society's implosion
I bring you pain and exploitation
And yet you welcome me in slavish jubilation

My armies spread across the land
No nation will escape my hand
All kingdoms on their knees
Awaiting my command

My words will resound throughout the nations
The paster of a cross-eyed congregation
This epoch is mine to define and command
Its people to blinded by decadence to ever make a stand

My armies growing every day
My foes in total disarray
All light and righteousness
With wither in my way

All bow down to me
Mankind in slavery
Contented in your servitude
But never truly free
All bow down to me
For all eternity
And though you curse my name
You need me all the same
So says the master of depravity

All bow down to me
Mankind in slavery
Contented in your servitude
But never truly free
All bow down to me
For all eternity
And though you curse my name
You need me all the same
So says the master of depravity

All bow down to me
Mankind in slavery
I'll give you everything you want
But nothing that you need
All bow down to me
For all eternity
And though you curse my name
You need me all the same
So says the master of depravity
Oh no
So says the master of depravity

Twas born upon the slopes of Dragonmount
The ancient blood flows through his veins
Twice he has lived and marked his age with blood
He's come to break the world again
All the power he commands
He does not quite yet understand
By the sword in his hand
He will lead us on our final stand

Raise the banner
Lead us onward
Show the world now
Fear not the hatred and scorn
Gather forces
Fight the shadow
Time is right now
To spread the news of the Dragon Reborn

Your prophecies have no hold over me
I'll not be used like those before
A puppet champion, unknowing pawn
I will not fight your final war
You're a fool to believe
You can escape the wheel's weave
For the mark that you see
Will be greater than you can conceive

And when the final battle comes to pass
The horn will sound across the land
And fallen heroes will arise to fight
To stand against the dark one's hand
Tears will flow like the rain
The dragon's blood will spill and stain
There will be war and pain
In the end, though, the light will remain

Yesterday
The men in black came to take them
Away from their homes and friends
They were told
Their thoughts and words were too bold
And they'd never be heard from again
As the days pass us by there can be no more doubt
They clearly intend to wipe all of us out
And ensure that the cause in which we all believe
Is sent to the grave yard of their history

Though it may seem too much for us to take
And though our hearts are so filled with pain
We must not ever bend, or bow, or break
And our conviction will light us our way

It's a time of hate and fear
Full of misery and pain
But I look into your eyes my friend
And I know it's not in vain
For amidst insanity
We must cling to our humanity
For all of our brothers
And all of the others
We will never falter
With righteous flame we burn

Long ago
In times of darkness and woe
When a man would defy their decree
They would take
The renegade to the stake
And would burn him for all to see
Now they burn us with slander and burn us with lies
To make sure people are mute to our cries
But the burning that drives us is deep in our hearts
And no desperate tyrant will tear us apart

Standing tall unbeatable
And indefatigable
Our survival might not be
So unbelievable

Ages ago we were born to this earth
With the power of thought and voice

A step back from gods and a step forth from beasts
With the burden of a choice
Our empires rose and fell through the years
War and death within their wake
Shaping the world as we would see fit
As the master of our fate

At the end of days
Only one question remains
Will the angel of the devil pull the strings?

And the Noble Beast of man
Holds his future in his hands
Will he fly amongst the angels
Or fall into the dark
Time and time alone will tell
If we'll be ruled by heaven or hell
We'll just have to wait and see

Compassion and hatred, anger and love
The duality of man
Between these extremes we're forced to decide
And we do the best we can
Don't search for answers from the divine
For there is no master plan
Our purpose is simply to choose what to do
With the time we have at hand

At the end of days
Only one question remains
Will the angel of the devil pull the strings?

And the Noble Beast of man
Holds his future in his hands
Will he fly amongst the angels
Or fall into the dark
Time and time alone will tell
If we'll be ruled by heaven or hell
We'll just have to wait and see

I watch as the young ones march
With a fire in their eyes
Not a one with the heart to tell them
That they march to their demise
Their sweat and tears are only fuel for the machine
O cursed child if only I could show you what I've seen

Come now and walk with me
Down a beaten path of broken dreams
The fairy tale's not what it seems
When you're peeling back the veil
Lose faith in all you trust
As their promises are turned to dust
But carry on, as though we must
For we are peeling back the veil

I have seen all there is to see
Of these dark and dreary halls
Once the king of the castle
Now a prisoner of these walls
I'll bide my time until the walls come crumbling down

Then from the ruins I will rise again and take my crown

Come now and walk with me
Down a beaten path of broken dreams
The fairy tale's not what it seems
When you're peeling back the veil
Lose faith in all you trust
As their promises are turned to dust
But carry on, as though we must
For we are peeling back the veil

We are the hammer of radical truths
Crushing your masters and gods
We are the scythe that will level the field
Slashing elitist facades
We're soldiers of right, righting the wrongs
Dissolving the boundaries, breaking the bonds
We are the sword to smite the unjust
Smashing their ivory towers to dust

With all for one
And one for all
We'll break the ties that bind us
And we will never fall

We'll fight the righteous fight with no remorse
Disintegrating Force
We'll stem the flow of darkness at the source
Disintegrating Force

Keepers of darkness now cower in fear
They know their end is at hand
They will use treachery, slander, and lies
To discredit us and our stand
We'll never submit, never give in
Only by speaking the truth can we win
If we persist, one day the sun
Will shine on a new world where all live as one

With all for one
And one for all
We'll break the ties that bind us
And we will never fall

We'll fight the righteous fight with no remorse
Disintegrating Force
We'll stem the flow of darkness at the source
Disintegrating Force

The enslavers tremble in their terror
Well aware that their demise is nigh
Mark this day for all the true believes
So that they can know the day the evil died

With all for one
And one for all
We'll break the ties that bind us
And we will never fall

We'll fight the righteous fight with no remorse
Disintegrating Force
We'll stem the flow of darkness at the source
Disintegrating Force

Spiralling out of the darkness
Velocity faster than light
Blazing with heavenly fire
Our heroes have entered the fight
Our forces are all in position
They anxiously wait for the call
Knowing full well that their lives will be lost
But that glory awaits those who fall

Your rule we're defying
Our will to fight undying
No longer complying
With your demented decrees
Tonight we ascend from our knees

We are flying high on our wings of steel
In the battle ahead our courage will reveal
With our force of might and the strength of our zeal
We will never beg and never kneel
On wings of steel

Still we fly on through the darkness
The light from the stars as our guide
Blasting our way through the enemy line
Like leaves on the wind we did glide
The enemy lets loose their fury
A deadly and fiery reign
Comrades are claimed by the ruthless assault
But their passing will not be in vein

Our seer now senses
A hole in their defences
We must be relentless
Or it will all be for naught
We'll hit them with all that we've got

We are flying high on our wings of steel
In the battle ahead our courage will reveal
With our force of might and the strength of our zeal
We will never beg and never kneel
On wings of steel

For the memory of our fathers
And for the future of our sons and daughters
A people will shatter their chains
Forge a sword from the broken remains
With the sorcery of the mages
And with the fury of berserker rages
The head of a tyrant will roll
And a people will reclaim its soul

Your rule we're defying
Our will to fight undying
No longer complying
With your demented decrees
Forever we're destined to be

We are flying high on our wings of steel
In the battle ahead our courage will reveal
With our force of might and the strength of our zeal
We will never beg and never kneel
On wings of steel

As the night descends upon this world for which I've fought
The shadows of my life grow tall and haunt my waking thoughts
In a world engulfed by darkness, did I bring the day?
And did I ever let that darkness take my soul away?
For they did give me hell but I did not relent
And I will meet my end with nothing to repent

When we sail across the way
And the reaper has his day
Only footprints will remain
Make your mark on earth before
You surpass that final door
And you'll live forevermore

When the night descends upon you, be wary that you're worth
Is equal to the good that you have done upon this each
Answer not to gods above or sermons from the blind
Only to the universal good of all mankind
For they will give you hell but you must not relent
And you will meet your end with nothing to repent

When we sail across the way
And the reaper has his day
Only footprints will remain
Make your mark on earth before
You surpass that final door
And you'll live forevermore

And as your final sun sets in the sky
All of the old clichés will apply
The day comes to us all when we hear the final call
So hear my words before your curtain falls
No matter who you are, no matter what you do
We're all wormfood in the end it's true
So make your stand and fight, find something to defend
Trust me, it's all worth it in the end

In the end it's up to you
To be proud of what you do
And no matter what your purpose is in life
Make sure you see it through

When we sail across the way
And the reaper has his day
Only footprints will remain
Make your mark on earth before
You surpass that final door
And you'll live forevermore

No
Will we ever learn
That there's no return?
Oh no
So
Do not give up the fight
And do not relent
And you'll meet your end with nothing to repent
