The seven gleaming towers
Stand only in my mind
Last in line of a scattered kind
King of a leather crown
The lakes defiled
The waters lost to time
But I oppose the shadow
As long as the stone abides
Battle lord of the borderlands
We have come to heed your call
Raise the wings of the Golden Crane
Martyrs rise where we fall
(Chorus)
Sheathe the sword
I came here not to win, I came here to kill
Sheathe the sword
Sheathe the sword
I came here not to win, I came here to kill
Sheathe the sword
Swift on the wings of the Golden Crane
Sword of the kings on my side
Lone horse against the horde, one man against the dark
Weight of the world on my ride!
Battle lord of the borderlands
We have come to heed your call
Raise the wings of the Golden Crane
Martyrs rise where we fall
(Chorus)
The hardest lesson is the last one learned
The fiercest victory is the dearest earned
(Chorus)

Her steel spined will and jet-black heel
Will grind you down into dust
Look into her deadly gaze
Caught up in her web of lust
Don’t dare to look
Don’t deign to touch
A little bit is still too much
Let her go
Don’t let her in
(Chorus)
Queen of the crystal throne
Queen of the crystal throne
Queen of the crystal throne
Queen of the crystal throne
She’ll take what she needs, just to watch you bleed
Before you blink your soul is lost
Swept into her deadly games
Sovereign of her own twisted fate
Don’t dare to look
Don’t deign to touch
A little bit is still too much
Let her go
Don’t let her in
Down on your knees
Bow to the queen
(Chorus)

Hunter And Prey

No room for the farmer
In the cold fog of war
No pride to be had
In the execution of chores
I serve not my country
I fight for my land
(Chorus)
Enter this valley of death my red comrades
Hunter and prey
Snow blind and gun shy
You hasten your doom
White fog and red mist
Hunter and prey
Disguising your breath
With a mouthful of snow
When protection of your home
Means deception of your foe
I serve not my country
I fight for my land
(Chorus)
Patience is the only game
Every bullet has its name
Emotion has no place on the battlefield
(Chorus)

Witching Hour
05:44
|
|||
|
Sometimes in the darkness of night
You see a figure move against the light
What could it be?
This shadow that only you can see
Feel the hair on your back raise
As the wraith passes by the veil
Fearing the curse
You hold tight the candles flame
(Chorus)
Beware the demon that breeds fear
You tremble, you shiver, you stir
See now the spirit that haunts here
Hear the spectral shrieks occur
Beware the demon that breeds fear
You tremble, you shiver, you stir
Beware the witching hour
Spirits roam free in the night
Somehow through the pale even tide
You hear the footsteps from the other side
Could it be you?
Feel its evil presence reaching through
Like a cold spot in a warm room
Icy fingers caress your spine
Fearing the worst
Death descends on black wings
(Chorus)
Your heart is racing
I’m reaching out for your soul
I’ll strike at the third bells toll
Beware the witching hour, beware

His bitter cold soul fights for hate
As revenge calls him forth
When the blade strikes true it thrusts for more
You can see their souls consumed
Magic stirs at the hilt
Black sword glows again
Stormbringer shrieks its strange shrill song
Kinslayer cackles on
Stormbringer shrieks its strange shrill song
In the grip of nightmares
“Let us give this age cause to hate us”
Weapons of chaos are bound to law
Forged in the vanished realms of old
Thrilled to fight, keen to strike, tarnished and bedamned
With its twin it meets its destiny
Magic stirs at the hilt
Black sword glows again
Stormbringer shrieks its strange shrill song
Kinslayer cackles on
Stormbringer shrieks its strange shrill song
In the grip of nightmares
Stormbringer shrieks its strange shrill song
Kinslayer cackles on
Stormbringer shrieks its strange shrill song
In the grip of nightmares

The Blood Of Creation
13:38
|
|||
|
Stand before the altar
Breathe in a tale as old as time
When, ever swirling water
Birthed forth a host of deities
Whose hale and hearty laughter
Met unsettled enmity
Those who came before
Must fall to those who succeed them
One of two took up arms
And plotted vicious genocide
Drink to the irony of destiny
As it was he who fell to knives
Sleep eternal, long into night
Sleep forever, in death reunite
(Chorus)
Let the blood flow free
The blood of creation
Speak to me the magic words
That slay the dragon and kill demon seed
Let the blood flow free
Visions set before your eyes
Demonic death and dark demise
The blood of creation, creation
Who will face the slaughter?
Come forth and face your enemy
Dragon queen of darker dreams
Whose black and vile armies
Come to claim you all
One who stands above the rest
Will save the day and slay them all
(Chorus)
