Open the Gates

"Arise all ye faithful to the sword." From the grave comes the storm Fire and ice, and battle horns. Through the night a dark star burns Titans fight, the King returns. Demon eyes spread fear and pain Throughout the minds of those too sane To realize this is no game, Drinking the lies in Heaven's name. Spear of Tiw, forged by Muse Magik mound of Crom. Some they learn, some they burn In the wake of Metalström. From the veils blows the storm. Lightning strikes from the sword. Warriors ride upon the wind. All Hallows Night, the hunt begins. Lord of Flies doth spread the plague Throughout the lives of those to blame. For all the lies in Heaven's name The Lords of Light shall rise again. Holy Grail, Silver sails, Court of Avalon. Some they learn, some they burn In the wake of Metalström.

Before the walls come crumbling Down around our feet; Before the empires fall And Hell enslaves the free; Before our time runs out The spells must soon be cast; We'll raise the banners high And storm the gates at last. Tonight we fight. The Norns decide our fate. Fight well in Hell ! Open the Gates ! This night the Gates of Hell Come crashing to the ground. The sword Excalibur Was lost but now is found. Arthur does rise again, The Dragon Lord of old. Just like the bards have said In all the tales they told. Tonight we fight. The Norns decide our fate. Fight well in Hell ! Open the Gates !

Under the stars It's written in the cards, All the myths that bards Have sung through history The future's not so cold Just trust the ways of old Magik can save the soul And set the spirit free It's not just fantasy Heavenly bodies, Astrological minds, Seeking out the wisdom Of the stars at night, To snatch from the heavens The thunderbolt of light And then the sceptre From the tyrant's side Night after night They shine on so bright, All the ancient lights Shall never fade away Astronomica! The laws that bind us all To keep us from the fall Unto the stars we gaze And pray Living for the future, Living for the night, Living for the masters, Holy guardians of light Jupiter is rising Over the table round, Sword of fire and lightning Ancients rites have found. Fight after fight They shine on so bright, All the ancient knights Shall never fade away Astronomica! The laws that bind us all To keeps us from the fall Unto the stars we gaze And pray Universal wisdom Of the Gods of old; A conqueror's freedom Is the danger zone Astromomic wasteland Darkened and cold Where the new born King stands With sword of the throne Night after night They shine on so bright All the ancient lights Shall never fade away Astronomica, The laws that bind us all To keep us from the fall Unto the stars we gaze And pray.

Cries will fill the dead of night Screaming for the morning light. Insane maneuvers of the mind. Shall sow the wrath of all mankind. In crystal towers off the shore I've seen the light of evermore But politics has barred the door And left us no way out but war. It could happen today Unless we learn to change our ways Warlords lead us to death, They're Weavers of the Web. My soul calls out to all of life To stop this hell and end the strife Stand us for your human right Reject the web with all your might. Inside the charms of ancient lore There's magik truth and much, much more, But new beliefs have slammed the door, Shut out the light of Evermore. It could happen today Unless we learn to change our ways. Warlords lead us to death, They're Weavers of the Web.

The fires of Mars shall burn From this we all shall learn; The gates unbarred at last Banishing the past. The standard raised on high Pen-Dragon rides this night Against the mighty Horde With legion of the Sword......the Sword. Warriors at the end of time, Masters of light, Feed the fires, storm the gates It's not too late. The mighty spear of Tiw Drinks deep the blood anew Of Demon Lords from Hell Who are poisoning the well......the well. Warriors at the end of time, Master of light, Feed the fires, storm the gates It's not too late. The Trinity, three Norns of Fate, All-Father's Knights open the gates. Golden wisdom from the stars Bids us light the Fires of Mars, Light the Fires of Mars. In war there's always loss All victories have their cost. But hope shall conquer hate For light Open the Gates, Open the Gates. Through the mists of Hell we ride To the battle side by side For survival of mankind The Fires of Mars shall burn this night. Through the mists of Hell we ride To the battle side by side For survival of mankind The Fires of Mars shall burn this night, Burn this night.

Rising swords Lead the sons into the battle. Rising stars mark this night, The Dragon is re-born. Demon Lords Shall not fell me from the saddle. Tiw and Mars mark this night, We blow the victory horn. Blow on. To wait till tomorrow Is for fools in their sorrow. It's now or never. It's the hour of the Dragon. Muse of chords Raise the Dragon from the castle. Northern stars burning bright, We free the Holy Sword. Face the Horde Die for glory and Valhalla. Fires of Mars burns this night. Ride with the Dragon Lord. Ride on. To wait till tomorrow Is for fools in their sorrow. It's now or never. It's the hour of the Dragon.

For all the tortured And all the slaves Arthur did rise On the Ninth Wave To rule the Britains And lead the brave Out of the darkness Of their day. Dragonships Rise from the sea Three Queens bring The new born King. From Merlin's Magik The stones were placed. He raised the mist Opened the gates. From crystal waters The Lady's Lake Did rise the sword Of Midgard's fate. Dragonships Rise from the sea Three Queens bring The new born King. There once was a time When divine light shown And the Lady of the Lake Raised the sword of the Throne. And the wind shall howl Totentanz Einherjer of Valhalla Rise Dragonships Rise from the sea Three Queens bring The new born King. Valhallan warriors Ride by his side The Dragon mist Crawls through the night. Avalon's iron gates No longer cry Einherjer Storm to the fight. Dragonships Rise from the sea Three Queens bring The new born King

Inside the maze of fire Kindled with desire Boiling the cauldron true Filled with witches' brew. Three Norns stand at the gates, Mater of the Fates Who keep the ancient runes, Howl at the silver moon. Would you drink the witches' brew, Blood of wisdom shed for you? Watch the dead rise from the grave And turn the monsters into slaves. Father of Tiw Long dead warriors rise for you. We drink the brew. Fire and water, earth and sky, Feast of torches lights the night; Hounds of Yeth bay at the moon; The blood of life is Witches' brew. Father of Tiw Einherjer doth rise for you. We drink the brew, Witches' brew.
