We ride Ride through the valley In thunder and rain The battle is raging Redeem this domain The castle of Eden lies silent above Darkness surrounds us Away we must go I look through the eyes of the world I see there's a stranger among us Awaiting a sign from above To conquer the power and the glory Enter the battle, our will to enchain Bringing us forward, defeating the pain Into the meeting with swords made of steel Standing together, the secret reveals I look through the eyes of the world I know who's the stranger among us Awaiting a sign from above To conquer the power and the glory Come across to the promised land Close your eyes, I will take your hand Through the river of steel we'll go When the dragon lies bleeding Come across to the promised land Close your eyes, I will take your hand Through the river of steel we'll go When the dragon lies bleeding Above the glory we carry on Now, the time has come To return back home The setting sun illuminates the dead The battlefield is shining red Silent lies Eden on top of the moor We're fighting with honour Protecting our lord The last one survivor lies bleeding I kneel Into his heart I settle the steel I look through the eyes of the world There is no stranger among us We march through the end of the world In search for the power and the glory Come across to the promised land Close your eyes, I will take your hand Through the river of steel we'll go When the dragon lies bleeding Come across to the promised land Close your eyes, I will take your hand Through the river of steel we'll go When the dragon lies bleeding Come across to the promised land Close your eyes, I will take your hand Through the river of steel we'll go When the dragon lies bleeding Come across to the promised land Close your eyes, I will take your hand Through the river of steel we'll go When the dragon lies bleeding

Icy water on my hands, the roar of thunder everywhere I close my eyes, I realize I'm far away from home In the Twilight Zone, the shadows mourn Out of the night came the shining... the Metal Age Ivory towers conceal my eyes, caught up in a long lost time Where no one speaks at liberty, they guard their destiny To forge the steel, they will reveal Out of the night came the shining... the Metal Age I'm falling into the breach I'm a stranger in this land I'm falling Standing strong the brave and the elder With scars seldom forgotten above it all Come with us, offering shelter from the icy wind that shiver Come with us to the twilight zone, oh yeah You're welcome to the Metal Age Hear the bell begin to chime, the moonlit skies burst out in flames The time has come, it must be done, let the power be unchained By the force within, let the war begin Out of the night came the shining... the Metal Age

Silent screaming you're on your own Balancing on a blade between what's right and what is wrong Don't lose your faith, don't sit there in silence Show your strength, let's hail the metal gods, bare your heart All for one! Our burning hearts will live forever One for all! Together standing strong Hammerfall - we will prevail Hammerfall - let us hail We share a dream, the future is ours A Metal Heart is hard to tear apart, heed the call A flash of light calls out the providers We run this race, but we will never crawl, all hail Hammerfall All for one! Our burning hearts will live forever One for all! Together standing strong Hammerfall - we will prevail Hammerfall - let us hail Just follow your heart, don't listen to the crowd The wisdom, the voice is calling from inside The time long forgotten will soon come again Prepare for the meeting; the Gods of Metal reign

Is it too late to go in peace? I wonder how, how these things did start anyway? Maybe too late to find a way When the trail of grief is marked with memories Now when you're gone The warmth of the sun seems so far away I believe in everything I see Every second is a miracle for me I believe after sunshine comes the rain When it's pouring down the only thing I feel is pain I walk alone through shapeless dreams My only home is the wasteland that I cross I close the door and turn the key Those days of joy are barely memories Now when you're gone your star will shine on Won't you shine for me? I believe in everything I see Every second is a miracle for me I believe after sunshine comes the rain When it's pouring down the only thing I feel is pain

You made me see right past myself, well beyond my fears Realized I'm synchronized far beyond my years I'm so geard unto them, I serve unto their souls Now that I'm addicted, my hunger only grows I'm a child of the damned, I follow where I go Rigging to the cross as holy as a whore I'm just a child of the damned Witches coven, the time has come for those sabbatical years Revelation is the message for all in all to hear Prophets slayed, mankind arrayed into mass submission Evil's here, the lord of hell gives you the proposition I'm a child of the damned, I follow where I go Rigging to the cross as holy as a whore I'm just a child of the damned Give away your life goals, your meaning and ambition It means nothing to you, after all - it's superstition Do not be afraid, the world is near the end Is it better to rule in hell, than it is to serve in heaven? I'm a child of the damned, I follow where I go Rigging to the cross as holy as a whore I'm just a child of the damned

Back in thousand ninety-five When the call to arms came We had the red cross sown on Sent to save the holy land Crush the infidels With strength from above Steel meets steel Steel meets steel Steel meets steel Steel meets steel On towards victory we march The guiding star led us to the battlefield There, the heathens were subdued And in the end We forced them all to yield or die Steel meets steel Steel meets steel Steel meets steel Steel meets steel In July in ninety-nine The Holy City was stormed and won Jerusalem was freed We thanked the Lord for our glory Our glory We, the Templars, have survived By honour and pride And the blessing of the sword The quest of the war, forever sung To the sound of steel meets steel Steel meets steel Steel meets steel Steel meets steel Steel meets steel Steel meets steel Meets steel, meets steel Meets steel, meets steel Steel meets steel Meets steel, meets steel Meets steel, meets steel Steel meets steel

Outcast a time of war When mankind lost control of life and death Under surveillance I watch the children pray While God just turns away Out in the ruins they seek shelter These streets were once my home But those golden days are gone Now I'm fighting to survive Stone cold, man or machine? Stone cold, the end of our dream The word is on the street It's kill or to be killed with no exception You are on your own We should have seen it all along The writings on the wall Tell me what have we become Stone cold, man or machine? Stone cold, the end of our dream Who do you believe in now When the prophecy came true? The final deja vu We should have seen it all along The writings on the wall Tell me what have we become Stone cold, man or machine? Stone cold, the end of our dream

Undying nightfall, a king with no crown Dethroned, imprisoned in chains Duel the black horse, the Swordsmen must kneel Condemned to serve within the shadows Put'em next to their King Out of the fire and into the night A handful of brave men appeared Crimson thunder running through their veins A bond that will last forever Nothing's stronger than... Brothers in arms are fighting tonight The Forces of steel meet again Born in the fire, we look to the sky The power of metal unchained Time has come, break out of these chains Fight! Proud for your kingdom Behind the defenders the king marches on By divine intervention They are fighting with- Brothers in arms are fighting tonight The Forces of Steel live again Born in the fire, they look to the sky The power of metal unchained Past many nights they fought on And by the moonlight the battle was won But still the black horse is running Knowing were the power will lead Brothers in arms are fighting tonight The Forces of Steel live again Born in the fire, they look to the sky The power of metal unchained
