Battles and Myths

Mankind has always looked Skywards for its destiny Now the velvet blue-black night Finally breaks her silence... I found myself in glens Where no mortal dwells Away from the lights Of the cities of the blind I looked up to the sky And saw the star that shines Than Venus far more bright Blotting out its peers there on high My hunting-hounds bayed Wild, their tails on edge And as I took a closer look I saw a disk of fire in the night! I clutched my sword in fear And took three paces back Knowing that this omen means They have finally come... That shining orb, the Gorgon's eye Haunts my sleep, fills my dreams For I know what this omen means: They have finally come...

I don't want no gold nor jewels To bediadem my brow Steel is what made me a man And by steel I'll rule as king! Fech me my helmet tall And my shield of dragon horn Ready now my heavy horse As my fingers grasp my sword: Caliburn, sword of the kings, Today our shall be the field! Our foes forgot that you and me Yearn their worhtless blood to spill! Raise my crimson banner high. Let five dragons fill the sky Amass the knights and men-at-arms Form ranks and forwards march! Ahead of all they'll se me ride The king of kings who reigns on kings There is no death for noone of us: For eternally shall live the brave! Caliburn, sword of the kings, Today our shall be the field! Our foes forgot that you and me Yearn their worhtless blood to spill!

Ragin fires sweep The corpses on the battlefield Arrows scream, an ebon swarm, The wall is breeched... Where all defenders lie dead Drowned in the blood of their dreams With broken swords still clasped In their frozen hands Where all hope is quenched And victory can never be When dragons fly in the air Covering the sun with their wings... Let it be known That then and for all time One stood at the gate Facing them all! When carnage reigned Within the dreaming city's walls One stood at the gate Proud, defiant to the foe! He stood all alone, Just a man and his sword He had lost all his hope So he was left with a thirst to kill! Let it be known That then and for all time One stood at the gate Facing them all! Lost was his fight, Last of a dying race A knight in a world Where chivalry is no more! The fire in his eyes Was the amber glow Of burning ideals, Of all that he held dear! Let it be known That then and for all time One stood at the gate Facing them all!

The whispering winds Promise solitude to me; The open steppe is the Blessing of the free! My horse's riding wild Underneath the sky; With sword held up high I embrace eternity! I long for my queen, For the days in Castile: To breathe again the air That filled my heart with hope... To stand against the moor, With his scimitar to clash My destiny lies revealed Here on the bloody battlefield! My horse's riding wild Underneath the sky; With sword held up high I embrace eternity! El Cid Campeador, Mighty Alférez of old Stand and deliver Thy land from these dogs! Rodrigo Díaz, in our hearts You will never die! A hero, A symbol, Immortal champion: Bear far thy standard On that foundered shore!

You thought it was all over You said we were done for Yet why do you fear To venture deep into the woods ? You know we're lurking there, You've seen our eyes glimmer You've heard the growl that years ago Made you cower and run in fear... We have not surrendered And never, ever, shall we kneel! We are the fighting werewolves The battallions of the woods! We had a dream, we nursed a hope But you tore it down in flames: You made our honor seem demonic Let it be! Let your nightmare come to life! You thought you saw The iron eagle fall You said you've crushed The Empire's mighty men... We have not surrendered And never, ever, shall we kneel! We are the fighting werewolves The battallions of the woods! The figh rages on For the werewolf braves! Cower in fear when the night falls: We will be coming for you and your lot!

In the woodland realm By the silver creek, Where once upon a time The druid came to sing, Men with axes in their hands March to kill the trees: Their bitter steel doth bite Deep in ancient bark And the sylvan blood Unseen shall flow, Unheard shall scream... They robbed the magick Off these lands... They hunted down the elves Who lived in these woods... They raped all the Nymphs Bathing in these screams... Now a clearing yawns wide Where secrets once where held: A barren patch of earth Sown grey with stony walls! O! Woodland realm! Thy beauty is defiled Thy favors so arcane Shall be seen no more... They robbed the magick Off these lands... They hunted down the elves Who lived in these woods... They raped all the Nymphs Bathing in these screams... My father's father hath foretold That one day this would come to pass: When thunder is no more A divine fire from above That one day the Elder Gods In the fires of mortals' logic Shall at least be cast...

Sky draped by a gloomy veil, Unusal illusive peace, Nature seems to hold its breath At the hands of this imminent threat Going through mountains and forests The watchman patrol saw the enemy's squads Our soldiers saddled up the horses Only the victorious will get back home The encounter can't be avoided Tension is at is height Weapons are all set to spread the blood The air is freezing cold The wind is carrying a fetid scent of fear Inhuman figures appears from the woods Nightmarish sight from the underworld Running wild demonic creatures pouncing on us! Going through mountains and forests The watchman patrol saw the enemy's squads Our soldiers saddled up the horses Only the victorious will get back home

Poison in our hearts, Woe is the torque That snuffs the light From our eyes... Augustus has fallen, The might of the God-emperor Is, alas, no more! What shall become of his bright halls ? What fate grim shall befall All of his fair cities and lands ? Carved in marble he remains In the shade of the Pantheon, To watch over changing times, The decline of his empire... Mighty Caesar, empty lies Your throne of ivory and gold Alone stands the eagle Of Zeus power and thine... Who shall ride ahead of our legions Now that barbarians prowl the land ? Who shall now draw his sword in the morning light And first utter the battlecry: "Vae Victis!" ?

In the square of a humble village Laughter and shouts, faces aglow: It's 1793 in the fields of France, Every able man is taking up his arms... Soldiers loyal to the crown Barons alongside simple folk: Together are marching now Neath white lilies on their flag... The sacred heart is bleeding For those about to die... The sacred heart is torn From the cruelties of war... Soldiers loyal to the crown, Walk down the winding path Into battle, into war, to avenge Those who died under the guillotine... The cold wind of terror The murderers of the republic Cannot hold back the tide That flows from the rebel camp... Onwards for God! onwards for the King! Swords of the Vandea Never cease to cleave! Onwards for God! Onwards for the King! O! Blessed virgin help us save Our France from the malediction! In our hearts doth flourish now The flowers of victory: counterrevolution! Into the night we go, Into the darkness we leave: Brigands and Knights, Loyal to one Good and King!
