Following Avon's crystal path I pass'd by Warwick by chance Where I came across a mansion Standing gauntly on a low bluff... He was brave and he was bold He was in love with the daughter of his lord She would not have him She would not care So he went afar to win her hand... Germania's rose he set free And put Saracens to the sword He laid low monstrous beasts Yet love he did not win... He faced the Danes And saved the day-King Athelstan Did praise his name... But bereft of love He turned to god And shut himself away from men... Then I awoke and realized I had slept in his death-bed...

Summer's breeze blowing through their mane Wild horses of the purest breed! Ride! Onward to battle, onwards like the wind Cozak warriors of the purest breed! Hail! Spurs to the side, a lash of the reins Foam in the mouth, A' glistening the eye... Bloodlust is nigh, for a rider and steed Alike as they ride, pressing to the fight! The banners are high and so's the battle cry, The trampling of hooves of the purest breed! Ride! Onwards to battle, onwards like the wind Cozak warriors of the purest breed! Hail! Spurs to the side, a lash of the reins Foam in the mouth, A' glistening the eye... Bloodlust is nigh, for a rider and steed Alike as they ride, pressing to the fight! Wild horses of the purest breed Born to the steppes defiant to the cold Cozak worriors of the purest breed Loyal to the Czar, they defy death! Summer's breeze blowing through their mane wild horses of the purest breed! Ride! Onward to battle, onwards like the wind Cozak warriors of the purest breed! Hail!

Sleipnir! Sleipnir! O'er lofty mountains-Ride now! Passing swiftly Like a gust Of deadly wind A fate to seal Son of Loki and Svadilfari Take me where my brothers fell! To Asbyrgi i'll make my stand I'll fight and die upon your back! Sleipnir! Steed of Odin! Hark! The horn of Heimdall calls! Lead the Gods to one last war Against the Giants' fearsome host! Over sea and through the air To and fro the Underworld Sleipnir! Sleipnir! Rune-carved teeth bared in a neigh That shakes the earth And brings down the Thunder!

Oft I have seen Many a brilliant star to fade And night came creeping in to usurp that once shinning place... Long ago I was a mariner A viking conqueror... I sailed far with Erik the Red And a hundred brave men! What glory remains Of these ancient days? What songs will be sung In the days to come? Under hostile skies I have slept On the heardrest of the sword And dreamt of past glories long Now gone forevermore... I saw the fire that burns within The mystic caverns of Thule I journeyed to a world forlorn Where shades weep forevermore... Blackened by dragon's breath Under arrows I have dreamt Of the billows that caress The shores of home again and again... What glory remains Of the ancient days? What songs will be sung in the days and years to come? Alas! I've grown too old And my days are numbered... I neither have the strength Nor fire that I once did...

Clouds lined with silver Soon to be parted By the spear og lough The dawn draws nigh... Tuatha de Danann Awake! Seize the day! A new sun doth rise O'er Tir Na N'Og... sing me the song My heart's yearning for Play now the tune That would bring me back Back to your ring There to dance with thee And see the day break In the otherworld! Follow the sidhe through the lake Icy waters flanked by hills so green Unravel a path of mystical sheen To undying lands let me now awake Guardian at the gates Of Tir Na N'Og I fear now your sword! Stand back, let me pass to the lands of my folk!
Stars a glimmer in a valley sheer Steel is drawn and shines in moonlight The heavens quake then pour heavy rain Thunders announce the bloody battle's eve... The wheel of the sun is carved on my shield And so are the runes of Thor on my sword! Odin's blood has blessed my spear Invincible I am Dare stand in my path! We crossed the sea in a dragon-ship We braved the fury of the waves We've come here for war, we bring woe Fires that shall burn high and rise to the sky! Odin ride forever by our side Thy will is grim but it will be done! Tyr embrace in thy might your sons Freyja weave thy spell of magic... The wheel of the sun is carved on my shield And so are the runes of Thor on my sword! Odin's blood has blessed my spear Invincible I am Dare stand in my path!

Charles Martel, the day will come again I'll see you lead the cavalry to chrage! Charles Martel, in the battle of Ambleve You dyed Malmedy blood-red! Tours recall the glory of your hosts Thy fame is sung on harps with golden strings! The crescent moon you drove back to the sea Once and for all... And when the sound of battle horns Shall keenly fill the air anon We'll rise with pride our banner high And answer to our king's call! Charles Martel, the day will come again I'll see you lead the cavalry to chrage! Charles Martel, in the battle of Ambleve You dyed Malmedy blood-red! Tours recall the glory of your hosts Thy fame is sung on harps with golden strings! The crescent moon you drove back to the sea Once and for all... Even when the horns of war Shall echo in the fields no more When in tatters hangs our flag And empty be the throne of Franks We'll still keep watch by night to see Charles Marterl return again! Rest now my king but light be thy sleep Thy foes still covet thy crown... Charles Martel, the day will come again I'll see you lead the cavalry to chrage! Charles Martel, in the battle of Ambleve You dyed Malmedy blood-red! Tours recall the glory of your hosts Thy fame is sung on harps with golden strings! The crescent moon you drove back to the sea Once and for all...

The land beyond the forest Where rusalky and domovye lurk Is held under the spell Of Vlad's sovereign stare... Vampiric dusk now bleeds the sky And the virgin dawn aghast will find The boyar traitors impaled on a spike In the shadow of Targoviste's spires... Stand fast – their hordes are come! Bound to the dragon by oath of blood Sword unsheathed, forth rode the rince To drive the Ottoman wolves to the sea! Broadswords of scimitars The wild music of steel on steel Yet Targoviste falls – alas! 60000 dogs prowl the land A curse on Corvinus, the sultan and Radu Who thought that prison walls could keep a hero bound In 1476 Wallachia welcomed backed her son Placing on his shoulders the royal mantle of black legacy! Stand fast – their hordes are come! Bound to the dragon by oath of blood Sword unsheathed, forth rode the prince To drive the Ottoman wolves to the sea!

In the days of yore The royal hunt was on Loud bayed the hounds As Gediminas set forth In the holy woods Of old Sventaragis He laid down to rest Beneath an ancinet oak And dreamt as only dream The men who would be kings! He saw the iron wolf Ride monstrous on the hill He heard the iron wolf Howl like hundreds of it's kin! Tearing from the veils of sleep His heart was a wild drumbeat He sought the counsel of the gods Through Lizdeika's wise words: "What is destined for thee, let it be! Great Duke, unite thy people and be king!" Fear not the iron wolf He shall be thy fort! And in him shall dwell All the rulers of thy line And the glory of their deeds Shall resound like wolf-song Thoughout the ancient world!

At last the flaming arrows Fall like heavy rain upon me And I am sailing towards The vastness of the endless sky... In Valhalla I will dine tonight Like all heroes in the sky! In my dreams, a Valkyrie To take me to the sky! There is no death tonight I'm a hero in the sky! Don't let my mother cry I'm a hero in the sky When the enemy spears Formed lines full of thorns I fell without a tear I lived and died by the sword In Valhalla I will dine tonight Like all heroes in the sky! In my dreams, a Valkyrie To take me to the sky! There is no death tonight I'm a hero in the sky! Don't let my mother cry I'm a hero in the sky Red on white across the vale Blood on the snow is spilled My battlecry did win the day By my hand a king was killed! In Valhalla I will dine tonight Like all heroes in the sky! In my dreams, a Valkyrie To take me to the sky! There is no death tonight I'm a hero in the sky! Don't let my mother cry I'm a hero in the sky

Upon the pinions of the wind A call is carried forth And sets our banners high Fills our hearts with pride! Swear the warrior's oath On the shrine of the war-god Carve runes upon your sword And enemy hearts alike! Songs of war signs my sword Sound the charge – we go to war! Songs of war and glories old Shall be rsung in our halls! We stand beleaguered by foes and fire Courage still in our eyes Phalanx, hold the line! Men of Hyperborea Your time is come to ride Lo! Your grim gods are aligned Pon the ramparts of the sky! Songs of war signs my sword Sound the charge – we go to war! Songs of war and glories old Shall be rsung in our halls! "Show them Hyperborean might O pride of the empire! Today the field shall be thine Bring them to their knees! Crush their idols to the ground Ride their armies down! Let us take up the cry: Vae Victis!"
