Reckoning Day

Committing acts of cruelty In the name of a higher power Riding on insanity Towards the final hour Brainwashed fools Blinded by the lies It's time to wake up And realize... There's no light at the end of your tunnel Because you're dead! No forgiveness for all your sins And there's no turning back! There's no reward, no paradise awaiting Once again only the reaper wins The reaper wins! Misled by alleged prophecies Inciting nothing but blind hate You think that all is justified And let the book decide your fate Brainwashed fools Blinded by the lies It's time to wake up And realize... There's no light at the end of your tunnel Because you're dead! No forgiveness for all your sins And there's no turning back! There's no reward, no paradise awaiting Once again only the reaper wins The reaper wins!

Heading north through the winterstorm Ice and snow surround us To a wasteland beyond the storm Searching for the unknown We follow the indications To find the mystic ones They're afraid of the light They live beneath the black ice in the cold Something is here In this wasteland Is it built by men Or built by the gods? Something strange, something mighty It is under the ice Something big, something unearthly It is under the ice Mighty power, ancient mystery Concealed under the ice Time has come to unveil the secret Of the black pyramid Discovered a long time ago They sleep deep in their cold graves Will we find the truth or any sign of life? Deep inside we already know Something is here In this wasteland Is it built by men Or built by the gods? Something strange, something mighty It is under the ice Something big, something unearthly It is under the ice Mighty power, ancient mystery Concealed under the ice Time has come to unveil the secret Of the black pyramid

Faceless stereotypes Hidden within the crowd Stuck like rats in a maze Uniqueness not allowed They are too scared to escape the race And show their face They are too scared to break out And be free Why do they follow A leader they don't know? So weak, so hollow Under mind control Why do they swallow Everything that is cursed? Ignorant and shallow It's evolution in reverse Afraid of being left outside They mimic each other's lives Abandoning identities To avoid any kind of strife They are too scared to escape the race And show their face They are too scared to go out And think for themselves Why do they follow A leader they don't know? So weak, so hollow Under mind control Why do they swallow Everything that is cursed? Ignorant and shallow It's evolution in reverse

Commercial suicide Worn out to the core Mindless consumption No values anymore Heartless puppet masters Trying to rule the game Producing cheap disasters Right for the wall of shame But corruption's for the weak And we are built to resist As one united league It's time to raise our fists Together - running free A rebellion - for liberty We'll live our dream - until we die Let's raise our horns up high! Dead, stale Is what we're called A relict from the past That shall rest in its vault Wayward breed A thorn in their eye Our spirit will not die Cause we're far from being done We're bound to our way No matter what will come We are here to stay Together - running free A rebellion - for liberty We'll live our dream - until we die Let's raise our horns up high!

I stand there beyond the shore Glittering stars above I close my eyes and you are here Right in my arms where you belong And you stay by my side And we watched the stars so bright You make my heart glow You touched my soul Hold me my love Never let me go We will drift away together And in my heart I hope That this will last beyond forever On our way we stand brave Against every storm that raged We found the joy of life Always lived the dreams we had And when we stand, we stand together And when we fall, we fall together No surrender No give up Hold me my love Never let me go And we can drift away together And in my heart I hope That this will last beyond forever

Dark clouds brought the rain As the world was turning upside down Falling tears and endless pain Fear splitting my life apart Walking beyond the river Lost in silence and poring over my fate Suffering and seeking For answers and salvation Turning fear into faith I will never abandon you or them or us in this space Wipe the tears from your face We'll get far from this place We'll start over again and make things right And fill the world with your grace And l never lost faith - No I never lost hope Even in my darkest hour alone I rode through the storm I cursed at the sky, I pushed at the walls There's one thing you should know I never lost faith - No I never lost hope I patched up my wounds and picked myself up And tore through the storm Darkness swallowed the sun I pick myself up - I banish the dark And fight through the storm Standing on the edge Enduring the raging tempest I feel more strength with every day I've got some things that I just need to say, listen to me now Turning fear into faith I will never abandon you or them or us in this space So wipe the tears from your face We'll get far from this place We'll start over again and make things right And fill the world with your grace And l never lost faith - No I never lost hope Even in my darkest hour alone I rode through the storm I cursed at the sky, I pushed at the walls There's one thing you should know I never lost faith - No I never lost hope I patched up my wounds and picked myself up And tore through the storm Darkness swallowed the sun Even in my darkest hour alone I rode through the storm

Black smoke, fire And screams of pain The smell of death is everywhere Cold blood floating in the rain Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide From the raging evil Shots from behind The time is up We are all dying For too long we were walking Blindfolded through time And now we are paying For all our faults This is the end of it all The day when empires fall Ridden by fear It's the end of the world Oh, now we all die... die! Riot, agony Chaos unleashed Everything we built over the years Melts down in seconds There is no chance that we survive We are overtaken Why did we ruin The world we're in Now it is over For too long we were walking Blindfolded through time And now we are paying For all our faults This is the end of it all The day when empires fall Ridden by fear It's the end of the world Oh, now we all die... die!

Graveyard in the trees Ten men on one bough The trees are bent down And completely full Hang them all More victims than trees Drown them in the lake The rest is drowned in the lake Cemetery lake And the crows are celebrating... (The Swiss:) Charles Merciless, we've surrendered Charles We've laid our lives in your hands Slaughter and mayhem...

Is this song not instrumental?

(Charles:) Now the day has come I am well prepared Down with all this scum No one shall be spared Look now as they kneel Begging from afar They're not worth to deal with Let's show them who we are March formation! (Charles:) A hedgehog made of spikes 8000 in a square Our knights bring in the fight First blood is in the air They're standing on the hill I need to lure them down Try to break their will And fight them till they're gone Pull back the vanguard! Wielded halberds, rattling guns Roaring horns and pounding drums Grandson! (Narrator:) Now his fate is sealed Both main armies arrive To Burgundians it seems That their army flees They panic and they run Trying to save their lives The duke has lost the battle Before it has begun Chase and kill them! Wielded halberds, rattling guns Roaring horns and pounding drums Grandson! A moment of confusion Burgundians gone astray Run cowards, run Taste the reckoning way A moment of confusion Your treasure's gone astray Run cowards, run This is the reckoning day (Charles:) I've never seen such cowardice My soldiers ran away They didn't fight the enemy And so we lost the day You have won the battle But you did not win the war I will return I promise This shame must be undone I will strike back! A moment of confusion...
