Leif Erikson
07:34
|

|
Sail for home,
My heart is yearning,
Forever more,
Till we reach the golden shore!
Lost at sea for many moons,
I fear we won’t find land,
I fear to fall by plague or hunger,
And not with sword in hand,
Storms may rage, waves they heave,
Still we sail to slay the beast,
Desire burning inside my soul,
To be at rest, to find a home!
Cross the sea, I can’t believe my eyes,
Across the sea, realm of the gods,
Cross the sea, I feel that I’m dreaming,
Across the sea, I’ve found my home,
(Chorus)
Erik’s son, Leif Erikson,
He sailed to find a home,
Erik’s son, Leif Erikson,
He sailed to find a home,
(End Chorus)
This dream state is shattered by screams
Savage demons attack us from the trees
Our shield wall can’t hold them back,
Agile creatures dodge, sting and they strike,
No demons will dissuade me,
From claiming this place as mine,
I’ll build myself a settlement,
And pass it down my line,
Stinging winds bring blinding snow,
Hunger gnaws upon our bones,
Fires burn, yet still we freeze,
If we live till spring, we sail to leave.
(Chorus)
I’ll return to claim this place as mine!

Ride For Glory
03:53
|

|
Ride for honour,
Ride for glory.
Avenge, die a heroes death,
Ride, ride, ride for glory
By savage treachery our prince has been slain
Revenge will rule this day!
Ride to make them pay!
Crush, pillage and slay!
(Chorus)
For honour and glory,
The death of your kind,
I march to war, for me and mine,
Until the end of time
The bards will sing of victory!
Onwards to glory!
(End Chorus)
Ride for freedom,
Ride for glory,
Fight, die a heroes death,
Ride, ride, ride for glory,
Blood rider seize the day
Show no mercy, spare no pain!
(Chorus)

Freedom calls yet no one will answer,
The whispers are lost in the wind,
This can’t be the rest of forever,
Who will save my kin?
(Chorus)
Heart of the tiger,
I wish to tame the waves,
Kill the sharks and free my people from chains,
I refuse to die a slave,
Heart of the tiger,
I will not die a slave!
(End Chorus)
I hear their cries, I see their struggles,
I feel their pain,
Freedom calls and I answer, I answer,
A sudden spark turned to flame,
Strength and resilience ignite my soul,
My people will rise again!
(Chorus)
I freed myself from the shackles,
Of oppressive masters,
Gather like-minded people,
Oppose the foreign invaders.
Rebel war goddess, battle queen,
I fight for freedom,
Not glory nor honorable name.
Chosen leader among my peers,
I will never let them down,
I guide and inspire,
The worthy to wear my crown,
Come ride with me,
Come fight with me,
We will never bow our heads in shame.
(Chorus)

The Samurai
03:28
|
|||
|
The time has come,
It’s time to serve your master,
Is your guilt sharper than your sword?
The gleam of steel,
You feel your heart beat faster,
Honour calls, still you stay your hand,
(Chorus)
Samurai
Ohh Ohh Ohh,
You failed your lord and master,
Fall on your sword,
You are no samurai,
Ohh Ohhhhh!
(End Chorus)
You try to hide your shame,
Only a warrior in name,
Not fit to live, not fit to fight,
It goes on and on again,
It takes a blade to ease the pain,
Kneel here now, and make the cut clean!
(Chorus)
The time is now,
You wish to serve your master,
Swear your vengeance in his name,
Till your last breath,
You will pursue the bastards,
Honour calls, time to make your stand,
(*ALT Chorus)
Samurai,
Ohh Ohh Ohh!
Avenge your lord and master
One with the sword
You are the samurai
Ohhh Ohh!
(End *ALT Chorus)
(Repeat)

Night Attack
06:50
|
|||
|
Step out of my fires,
Come out here and face my blade,
I’ll slaughter your armies,
Give you what you sought to take,
I’m the wolf, among the foxes.
Prowling at your heels,
Night stalker full of vengeance,
Feel my anger, fear my steel,
It’s too late to stop this madness,
It’s your time to kneel.
When night falls,
It’s time to die,
Where shadows rise,
Flaming arrows fly,
(Chorus)
We’ll burn them out with this night attack,
Light the fires and stoke them high,
Rise up! Fight now! Push them back to the river,
Freedom! Freedom! Fight and die for your homeland,
(End Chorus)
Cheap canvas pyres,
Blackened wind and crimson light,
Outnumbered we fight hard,
Our foe will die by end of night,
When night falls,
It’s time to die,
Where shadows rise,
Flaming arrows fly,
(Chorus)
Victory this night is incomplete,
Taste of triumph bittersweet,
I will stake them to the riverbank,
And sweep my land clean.

The Veiled Knight
07:41
|
|||
|
Legends told by fireside,
Of healing hands,
And courageous heart,
She’s no man’s concubine,
The warrior supreme,
Just follow her into battle,
To see what I mean,
The enemy took her brother,
A mistake they would regret,
For she slayed every soldier,
On the field she met,
Her attack turned the battle,
Upon ruinous fields she rode,
Before her ranks were shattered,
Their formations were turned to rout,
She chased them from their camp,
Back from the field they fled,
This warrior queen
Rider in black,
With blades so sharp,
She turned them back,
(Chorus)
Eyes gleam, amid a veil of green,
Seize a sword forged destiny,
Dressed in black, amongst dying screams,
Soaked in the blood of her enemies,
(End Chorus)
She enlisted as a healer,
With tender hands she bathed,
Wounds of injured soldiers,
Until she lifted up her blade,
Now she’ll fight any man,
On battlefields she rides
In her wake comes slaughter,
Trampled banners never fly,
(Chorus)
