Firestorm 04:44
- Firestorm - Do you recall so long ago on that terrible night? He came from the mountains as legends foretold, to show us his might A bellow of thunder erupts from his lungs with a deafening sound He’s come to relieve our almighty king of his glorious crown So hungry for riches, so thirsty for gold His greed knows no boundaries, his conscience is cold The sky turns to darkness as his wings unfold There’s nowhere to run when the dragon arrives His fiery breath raining down from the skies He’s come for us all and no one will survive So gather your children and run for your lives No one could foresee the tantrum of rage he’d unleash on us all The smoke and the flames billowing out of our once hallowed halls With effortless grace he breaks through the castle’s impregnable walls Our fate is sealed, against his great power we’re destined to fall
2.
Marching On 05:10
- Marching On - The dawn has arrived, the winds blowing cold We’re carving a pathway deep into the snow Our glory awaits, we’ve taken the throne May the joy of this victory carry us home A glimmer of hope is what’s kept us alive Over every mountain, across the divide We answer the call and defend what is right We’ll never die, no! For we are the strong and the strong will survive We’re marching, we’re marching on Our hearts are ablaze with honor and pride Our banners ascending aloft in the sky With the gods on our side, the battle is won They will sing of our courage for ages to come
3.
The Gorgon 04:41
- The Gorgon - Cursed to wear a crown of serpents on her head Upon her face belies a mask of living death You’ve been sent upon a quest to take her life But beware, don’t ever look into her eyes Get ready to fight! She’s coming, and there’s no escape From the gaze of the Gorgon’s eyes Such a cruel disguise Look of death in her eyes Bringing your demise When Medusa comes to claim her prize In her lair, now forsaken and alone Icy stare, turning mortal men to stone Lie in wait, casting shadows on the wall It’s your fate to take your head after she falls Cursed by the gods to haunt this ancient place No mortal man shall live to see her face
4.
- Heavy Metal Warriors - Tonight’s the night, it’s time for the show Prepare for the metal attack Gather the armies, it’s time to go Our soldiers are all dressed in black In the name of metal We would lay down our lives From far and wide we hear the call For heavy metal claims us all We stand together rise or fall And though the battle rages on The name of metal makes us strong And we’ll forever sing our song We shall be the ones victorious For we are heavy metal warriors See our metal shine so glorious For we are heavy metal warriors In the streets, we’ve come for a fight You’re trapped and there is no way out In denim and leather, we’re taking the night Let me hear you stand up and shout Your town lays in waste, our wheels hit the road We now leave your city to burn Onto the next one, again we must go Just pray that we never return In the name of metal We would lay down our lives
5.
- Eternal Night - Let the twilight come and set us free From our sunken crypts we rise to feed With the gift of immortality And the power of ancient majesty Blood, sweet blood Coarsing through you veins, we need your Blood, sweet blood Forever more, we are the . . . Children of eternal night Our world forever draped in black Like a raven we take flight From here there is no turning back Let the nightfall rise and call our name With a hunger like an endless flame In our thirst for blood, we have no shame You’re a helpless pawn in our endgame Blood, sweet blood Flowing from your veins, we need your Blood, sweet blood Forever more, we are the . . . Let the darkness break these chains that bind Let the sunset be our time to shine In this life nocturnal, so sublime In the shadows till the end of time Blood, sweet blood Calling out your name, we need your Blood, sweet blood Forever more, we are the . . .

Fallen Glory 05:51
- Fallen Glory - Tonight we gather once again Under moonlit skies To hail our brethren one and all Those who gave their lives We'll never see your face again But we won’t forget you my old friend Here’s to the fallen The ones who gave it all Answered the calling You’re bathed in glory, standing tall So many battles lost and won Marching on through time Your bravery won’t be left unsung We raise our swords on high
7.
- What We've Sown - So far away, deep within our minds Led us astray, from what we keep inside Night conquers day, light fades away Lost all control, wandering through the night All that we’ve feared, finally come to light Night conquers day, light fades way Soon we will see what we’ve done Done to ourselves and the ones we love Things that cannot be undone It’s our mistake, now we’re reaping what we’ve sown We’re on our own There’ll be no forgiveness now This is the end of our fragile time She will defend herself against mankind
8.
Shadow Queen 04:56
- Shadow Queen - Deep within these castle walls There is a shadow stalking me And like a veil it blinds my eyes Now I can't see And I can hear her siren’s call And once again she calls my name And I’m entranced just like a moth Drawn to the flame There’s no escape from her embrace You’re in her sights and now You know it’s far too late She’s the shadow queen You’ve been a fool to come this far You’ll never make it out alive There ain’t no chance you’ll Ever live to see the light You better turn back while you can I’ll never see your face again Her empty touch will bring No solace in the end There’s no escape from her embrace You’re in her sights and now You know it’s far too late She’s the shadow queen
