MMXI

Fighting on through the endless night, and the endless day Warring on for the right to be free Braving all the attacks, we will never flee Slaying all the invaders we see Building up all the walls, to defend our lives Striving on, we are right, we are free Rising up from the ash, and brutality Living life through our bravery Burning down all that's right, or will ever be Tearing down our victims' beliefs Breaking down all the walls, this is our victory Killing those who oppose our decree Raging on, we the strong,we will always be Waging war is our reason to be Crushing all that we see, this is our destiny Gearing up to corrupt all we see This is a battle we did not want to choose This is a war, we knew we had to fight Greed is the madness that brings men to their knees Power is the treasure for which we all must die Antitheticus, please remember us Our plight to be free Antitheticus, must consider this At war we will be...

A fire in the great north sky A distant calling voice Beckons me to take my place Beyond the heaven's shore As dusk falls over frozen snow Reflections fill the night Of torches lit by spirits' hands My path their will to light Across the sky in fire she came Where raven flew with eyes aflame Forsaken one she must reclaim A distant soul without a name From the twilight clad in flame Through the cold night sky I came For destiny I must reclaim A distant soul without a name...

A morning of fate, fog drenched and still Three shots are fired, the signal to kill Advancing upon us the enemy comes A war wrought of malice, thus has begun Attack from the fortress, any face seen Ensnare Wheaton's men in the lava fields A consequence of error, formations undone Consumed by the night, in terror they run Lost river carries the blood of resentment Forced from our lands to live life in confinement The hatred and cruelty your treaty condemned Has come back upon you by your own hand Attack from the stronghold, the cover of fog Vengeance prevails by our fire they fall Repel the invaders we must save our land Proud warriors I, Captain Jack command Action must be taken, this treachery said Your words have now failed you, your general lies dead We must leave this cruelty, this treaty of lies Proud we will live, and proud we will die...

Alone one day with axe in hand He walked the forest nigh of dawn Deep into this ancient land Far from home the axe is drawn The blade of steel swings through the air The sound of silence is broken A call is heard but no one there Primeval guardians awoken From the sunrise through the day The woods around him come alive With each swing the cadence swells Whispers of vengeance this one must die Find the one who smites the trees Find the chains for arms and feet Find the rope, its hempen sting Find the tree from which he'll swing Bring the spear of ancient briar Bring the torch to light the pyre Bring the one, who trod our ground Bring the spade to dig his mound He runs to escape from foes unseen Lost in the maze of an unknown wield The blade though of steel cannot break free The vines like iron around him shield The light of the wood begins to fade The wind sings tales of elvish tongue The branches now as a thousand arms The voice of the wood is softly sung...

In conquest of war death or glory I'll find Thoughts of my family so far behind For the sake of my clan their empire will burn But will it all matter if I don't return In command of my warriors across the sea Envision my love as she cries for me If I falter in war on my shield I will lie For her and my kin I will fail if I die As night falls on this land the roar of battle fades This war my destiny Fate has called my name Through ash smoke and flame still I see her face Across eternity there my love awaits Soaked in their blood my steel Their faces I can't see Only the face of she in solitude's arms I will come back to thee this is my solemn plea Hail this my destiny I will return...

For a tankard of ale a story for thee Of conquest and glory a fight to be free For two I shall tell of bravery and wit Of strength and of wealth a king's life befit Three spills forth legends of lands set afar A wealth-ridden empire and their cursed Jack-Tars By the round of the fourth all here shall know Of that which I speak the name of our foe The fifth tells of terror wrought to England's high seas Of gallows and planks and treacherous thieves Six my dear friends and then I shall tell Of their pleasures and maidens we've taken as well Seven down one more round hear all I've said So empty your tankard now and fasten your blade As the eighth disappears a most humble decree By drink or by sword my crew ye shall be! So come raise your fist and drink up your fill For lands must be claimed blood must be spilled Torches ablaze we light up the sky For hoards and for whores we set our sails high Eight rounds my friends and all fear is gone Our task has been set our journey has begun Onward to war on death's winds we ride With the power of steel and ale at our side!

From the sky I looked upon As if in silent sleep A race enslaved in darkness By its arcane beliefs They ruin the brilliant youth of she From whom they take their lives Blind to the growing anger Of the ones they desecrate and so defile The sacred ground they tread upon A story lost in time The earth these men have overrun And turned to hide their eyes An elegy of ancient times Sings of their demise The only way for her to live is for them all to die The air I breath once so pure From a sky of sapphire haze Now a shroud of smoke and ash that smothers their defiant gaze Before my eyes the heavens fall Now in fear they cannot hide Revenge is had Gaia's wrath The err of man is purified In sanctus terra Talio est furam Humanus purgo Intus incindia

As a beast rising up from the sea Clad in iron and boundless greed Holy warriors from foreign lands Storm our shores sent by god's own hand A dismal sound of the mourning cries The demons wet their blades in wait Black knight comes the witches dance Evict these demons from our land To the last we will slay them all Once more Karta hear our call Kill them all These holy men of god Cleanse our land With pagan blood Thundercross Free us from their hands Karta reveal our fate Our destiny As midnight comes their shadows rise The din of battle the scent of fire Crush them fast push far their lines Back to the land from whence they came Brothers of the sword now die! The day you taste defeat is this As long as I draw breath I swear Terra Mariana shall not exist

Black sails ahead A treacherous sea The roger flies high Proud in the breeze Villainous cutthroats a virtuous crew Feared by many admired by few Corsair upon us a schooner of death Fight or flee for our last breath Roar of the cannons a deafening sound No time to run we must stand our ground Prepare to be boarded shots cross our bow Forced to fight our time has run out Protect the ship at all cost Our holds filled with treasure! Screams the deck boss Pressed into service cast off my chains To go on account is all that remains My fate has been sealed the vote has been cast Become one of them or die at the mast Splice the main brace Time to give chase Plunder awaits Weigh anchor! Fight to be free This my decree Dogs of the sea Hoist colours! No pain no pay Sharpen the blade Will not belay Fire cannons! Roger flies high Hear the warcry Surrender or die No quarter! Questing over the sea On a ship bound for glory A brethren of the sea Questing over the sea On a ship bound for glory A pirate soul in me Questing over the sea On a ship bound for glory A brethren of the sea Questing over the sea Men bound for glory The pirate life for me

The warriors came from the south with claim to take our land Unknown to them our Pictish wit their end is soon at hand The trap is set our army split the enemy attacks We feign our fear turn and run with the English at our backs Onward we lead them to Dunnichen Hill For honor and glory their blood we will spill Each man who foils our spear and our sword will fall to his death on the cold rocks below Pictavia prevails decided your fate Here in the mountains there is no escape He who tastes neither the steel nor the rock Shall drown below in the marshy loch Revenge is ours! No man shall flee For fallen brothers we kill Our victory the only sound Soaked in blood the highland hills With his men upon this ground their king shall meet his end Though of my blood No remorse The blade of vengeance now descends
