Human Fortress
Album • 2013
We march and ride Through fields and land Our hearts are filled with pride We are confident Our journey leads us on From the mountains to the sea Conquer, steal and crucify In the name of kings and queens A Spanish man called Cortes Conquered furious seas To discover unknown lands To scavenge for his king We will kill, we will burn, looting their gold Surrender, your capital is in our hold They remain in dread and fear Facing a genocide By the grace of God, show no mercy We’ll enslave them forever ‘til the end of time! Conquer the land With the strength and endurance within Break their will to strive Almighty Conquer the land With the strength and endurance within It’s useless to defy Raided land! Our machinery of war Anchor’s at the shore Let’s crucify their flesh And take their wealth back home
There’s nothing I can hear No one I can see Nothing that I can feel That’s the way I’d like to be There were many things to bear Shed tons of tears Too much havoc and crime Deep inside of my mind You can’t heal me – wear me down No one can free me – I have a mind on my own You can’t heal me – no you don’t I’m just a lonely soul – a child of war evermore Always walking all alone Dine on my own Feel empty inside I’m restless at night That’s my struggle for life It tears me apart Though never say die I’m the one to get by You can’t heal me – wear me down No one can free me – I have a mind on my own You can’t heal me – no you don’t I’m just a lonely soul – a child of war evermore

The sands of time are running out What is all this roar about? There are many things to do Now I know No I can’t brace up myself Lost in thoughts forever Just reflecting my past life Full of pain Wasted wasted years Shed so many tears – I’m walking through the dark Weighed down with sorrow Wasted wasted years It’s so plain to me I can’t turn back time Can’t go on – It’s over now Just before I pass away There are many things to say Just my sole heir hold my hand All alone My good heart is full of trust But there’s nothing I can give I made too many mistakes in my life Wasted all my property It got lost forever Lived too long beyond my means Now I care Wasted wasted years Shed so many tears – I’m walking through the dark Weighed down with sorrow Wasted wasted years It’s so plain to me I can’t turn back time Can’t go on – It’s over now

Maybe only god would know – what could be done Maybe only god would know – that I’m the chosen one Is this the end of the world? Take all the things I cherish and love Defeat the demons deep inside of me Sets my marrow on the edge – I realize there’s no return – no victory A world of make believe I am forging my sword of trust Keep on marching, I am the chosen one It’s my mission, my passion, my command, my war What I’m still fighting for Maybe only god would know – what happens to me Maybe only god would help – to kill my enemies Warriors don’t know my fear But there’s a disbelief – I don’t know what is real Defeat the demons deep inside of me Sets my marrow on the edge – I realize there’s no return – no victory A world of make believe I am forging my sword of trust Keep on marching, I am the chosen one It’s my mission, my passion, my command, my war (That’s what) I’m still fighting for

Our last embrace One melding gaze We drenched in tears No silent reproach A desperate deed I have to dare Give me a shelter Is there a den I follow I have to fool my enemies Give me a shelter One place to hide forever Want to survive to live my dreams Saddle my horse for my last ride They can’t chase me on my secret path When waft of mist are lying on such miry ground The time is right to take my sword The battle axe, arrows and bow For my defense – there’ll be falling one by one Give me a shelter Is there a den I follow I have to fool my enemies Give me a shelter One place to hide forever Want to survive to live my dreams

Suspense was killing me Mortal fear is running through my veins Time to take the arms Behind the gates Here I had to fight Listened to the deadly battle cries I’m ready for the fray or my grave Suddenly – they slam the gate Blinded by – the daylight glare Opened my eyes – a hall of arrows Killed brave brothers Gladiator – fighting in fury The devil wants his share – wants my soul Gladiator – fighting in glory The arena is my home, my life, my hell Who are my enemies Cover me before their next assault When just a day of grace can save me Hope for my final deed May I still survive – hard to believe When just a day of grace can save me

We fight for our liberty, Teutonic knights invade! This time we’ll overcome their might! Soldiers raise your swords! Strong willed, we engage The Lithuanian forces – are here to make their stand Blood is shed across the land Brave men die We have to win this battle Our very last try As we slay their marshal He suddenly appears With brightly shining armour And terrifying spear Get away, get away Save your life and try to escape No disgrace to be a renegade Fighting with the darkness Fighting with our steel Desperate and weakened This is how I feel Fighting on with forces That will never kneel Our bows are breaking Wounds will never heal Dark knight – storm will rage The lances heeling in Corpses left behind He came to wave the flag Great his might Reflecting the light He’s got a fearless stance Leads his knights to the fight Our forces get smite Flee in mortal fear

This track is instrumental.
Lying here in the face of death – I realise I’ve survived – Rub my eyes, nothing’s wrong With aiming high but I lost everything And pay the price for my greed Lying here, out of breath I tried to move away Lean on steel, that spares my sin Lost in the land of my enemies Damned to die lonely on a battlefield Pray for salvation, self-revelation I have to pray to confess my sins Show me the way to ride out that day Rise up to paradise when I die Pray for salvation, self-revelation I have to pray to confess my sins Show me the way to ride out that day Rise up to paradise and now I die

Don’t you dare Never touch the wand Don’t take his elixir Have to beware He’ll chant a spell The bane of your life Brace yourself You’ll disappear without any trace Now burning eyes are watching me So bright they glare Evil’s meant to live forever Hell to pay for now and ever Don't cast a spell on me No evil curse on me You can’t deny the truth I’m not another prey for you Desperately Now it’s time to fight To prevent my destiny I will survive This mortal agony The bane of your life

We’re the last who left behind We’re just out to get it right Just believe the prophecy That’s our will, our destiny Against shadows and darkness Salvation to find the key Follow stars on our holy way To the end on judgment day Curse and passion We are – band of brothers Searching, all around the world We are restless souls ‘till the end of time Under blue skies, oceans wide ‘round the world leaving all behind Find the sanctuary Heal our souls For ourselves before we fall Against shadows and darkness Salvation to find the key Follow stars on our holy way To the end on judgment day Curse and passion We are – band of brothers Searching, all around the world We are restless souls ‘till the end of time

One day of shame We’re longing for a second chance But we didn’t heed The warning from our enemy The breach is irreversible Under siege We fight behind our gates of steel The king of war we’re still fighting for We swear an oath so heaven can’t wait It’s no time to die We will recover from the storm Raise our swords before we’re gonna fall They don’t gain ground But we believe in victory Our losses should not be in vain My Lord is sneaking up Far behind to catch our souls A bloody prey he can’t let go no

We’re part of some strange plan Feel a little lost in Johann’s hand Who can take a hold – To save us on the stony ground – I know Gonna burn to ashes A self-defeating prophecy Gonna fell their lashes To goat us on It’s all forlorn Our king dictates a dreadful war Follow the blind we’re still fighting for We’re marching on the path of no return To try to guard the blind We couldn’t see the sky The smoke of battle right in our sight The moment Johann died We really had no chance to win this fight Gonna burn to ashes A self-defeating prophecy Gonna fell their lashes To goat us on It’s all forlorn Our king dictates a dreadful war Follow the blind we’re still fighting for We’re marching on the path of no return To try to guard the blind
