Symphony of War

Come with me Into the eye of the storm Find me there With bloody blades still warm They want us to believe that we can never be free Yet now we show them all what they could not foresee A slave's desire Can be a trembling modest spark Yet lits the fire A blazing light of hope defying the dark Into the heart of despair courageous we ride I see it clear now For freedom is not negotiable Against the tyrant we dare to rise and defy Burn me and lash me My freedom is not negotiable Your own fear The greatest shackle of them all Opened eyes The key to tyrants fall They want us to believe that we can never be free Yet now we show them all what they could not foresee Into the heart of despair courageous we ride I see it clear now For freedom is not negotiable Against the tyrant we dare to rise and defy Burn me and lash me My freedom is not negotiable Hic manebimus optime Libertas quae sera tamen Into the heart of despair courageous we ride I see it clear now For freedom is not negotiable Against the tyrant we dare to rise and defy Burn me and lash me My freedom is not negotiable Into the heart of despair courageous we ride It is so clear now Freedom is not negotiable Against the tyrant we dare to rise and defy Slay me, destroy me My freedom is not negotiable

Sleepless, in self-denial Our hearts on fire towards a worthless deed Fighting for just more power Burning desire, to end this kill - But damned to carry on The cold metal feel Kingdoms rose and slowly crumbled all at the whim of this sentient steel, Many proud heroes were cruelly humbled blinded by the sword's appeal Betrayed, Father we are Still in this night together we rise Let down again, Fathers and sons Grab men your hearts together we march As the lightning strikes the people turn to dust and life breaks down When we look over the burned earth at the chards and blistered scars Then at last there in the openness as we learn the horrid truth That the power of steel compelled it and burned down our home and roof Betrayed, Father we are Still in this night together we rise Let down again, Fathers and sons Grab men your hearts together we march We shall be free once more Live by the sword Die by the sword Kill by the sword Free by the sword By the sword We'll make our stand Until the End As the lightning strikes the people turn to dust and life breaks down When we look over the burned earth at the chards and blistered scars Then at last there in the openness as we learn the horrid truth That the power of steel compelled it and burned down our home and roof Hear me, Fathers and sons Still in this night together we rise This is the end, finally free Grab men your hearts together we march

Since the last alliance Between men and elves One could say threat is but gone Though the voice of darkness Shall be heard once more Black Gate falls before the dawn Sacrifice, blood and bone shall be offered (No!) May you come and emerge as a shadow (I’m right here my son) What is this place? Am I dead? You are cursed, cast adrift in between worlds (Lies!) Between light and the dark you’re condemned to wander (I’ve lost everyone) How to break this curse? Banished from death to fight and slay Mordor’s shadow falls within your wake To avenge and be free, to find your way Peace and honor shall be yours someday Gravewalker In the land of Mordor Where the shadows lie No, the dark lord shall not hide We shall battle the Black Hand of Sauron (Die!) Through the blackness of night we shall undo the spell (Vengeance through the steel) I shall not bend to this woe I remember my past full of sorrow (Traitor!) I remember my name, I remember my pain (I vow revenge!) Ages ago Banished from death to fight and slay Mordor’s shadow falls within your wake To avenge and be free, to find your way Peace and honor shall be yours someday

Darkened skies upon us Fury of the outer space Swarms of alien insects Soon we'll be attacked People screaming in fear Nowhere they can run Hope is lost in their eyes Countdown has begun And where the need is dire The space knights land Their guns and heavy armour Their stout hearts Men who lived with honour In steel clad Hearts beat again when Knights organize the last stand The swarm of the aliens Fights with frenzied hate Guns blaze as red talons Rip their trembling flesh Men, guns and their foul foes Fight with all they have Embracing each other In a crimson grave But then the glory of the emperor shines in the sky His armada appears from the red flaming clouds Plasma cannons scorch aliens in beams of light And the knights of the empire rush into attack Chainswords grind and guns fire at the unyielding foe And the tide is rising of battle and blood Naked souls full of fury close in on the beasts And they serve their good name by dispatching them all Victory is now complete for the empire's flag We survived and defeated the swarm of our death Long shall it be remembered, our furious last stand And remind us that unity is our one strength

Closing my eyes As I feel the wind By the sunset's dying light Heart filled with pride Heroes side by side And we know it's our last ride Fight and carry on Fight and die so strong Take upon the glory, proud and bold Tonight we fight once more Deep into battle one last time My friends, we ride to war Strike! Hold! Strike again! And keep that bloody line We shall see no dawn Yet our courage is divine Fight! Carry on Fight! And die so strong Take upon the glory, proud and bold Tonight we fight once more Deep into battle one last time We ride to war Full charge! No retreat! For our dark fate must unroll Wield your noble steel As a piece of your own soul Fight! Carry on Fight! And die so strong Take upon the glory, proud and bold Tonight we fight once more Deep into battle one last time We ride to war Warm, red, it flows And with it my life goes I shall see you once more Upon afterlife's shore Cold death wind's blow Came for my soul Yet before I go I shall kill them all Fight! Carry on Fight! And die so strong Take upon the glory, proud and bold Tonight we fight once more Deep into battle one last time We ride to war Take upon the glory, proud and bold Tonight we fight once more Deep into battle one last time My friends, we ride to war

The night is falling in silence Waking up the spirits of the sea. In peace I am closing my eyes Praying to the Lord His promise to keep. Thinking of the life That I didn't follow The green meadows back home. After thirty days in the water I can finally see my home Holy star of the mystical sunset Oh my Lord I can sense my North I was in fear and I was in awe But I survived this unjust war. Suddenly a roar of thunder And our ship is losing control. Here comes another stormnight Waves are strong but so is my soul. Time travels back To my precious childhood. My father whispers "valour" Two-faced misty ocean, I'm a eagle in the sky I'm standing, I defy you I will I will I will I will not cry. And when at last I reach my harbor, when my boots are finally dry I'll live in love and peace until until until until I die. I was in fear and I was in awe But I survived this unjust war. Two-faced misty ocean, I'm an eagle in the sky I'm standing, I defy you I will I will I will I will not cry. And when at last I reach my harbor, when my boots are finally dry I'll live in love and peace until until until until I die.

Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk In tongues from the time before man Listen to the daffodil tell her tale Let the guest in, walk out, be the first to greet the morn The meadows of heaven await harvest The cliffs unjumped, cold waters untouched The elsewhere creatures yet unseen Finally your number came up, free fall awaits the brave Come Taste the wine Race the Blind They will guide you from the light Writing noughts till the end of time Come Surf the clouds Race the dark It feeds from the runs undone Meet me where the cliff greets the sea The answer to the riddle before your eyes Is in dead leaves and fleeting skies Returning swans and sedulous mice Writings on the gardens book, in the minute of a lover's look Building a sandcastle close to the shore A house of cards from a worn out deck A home from the fellowship, poise and calm Write a lyric for the song only you can understand Come Taste the wine Race the Blind They will guide you from the light Writing noughts till the end of time Come Surf the clouds Race the dark It feeds from the runs undone Meet me where the cliff greets the sea Riding hard every shooting star Come to life, open mind, have a laugh at the orthodox Come, drink deep let the dam of mind seep Travel with great Elan, dance a jig at the funeral Come Taste the wine Race the Blind They will guide you from the light Writing noughts till the end of time Come Surf the clouds Race the dark It feeds from the runs undone Meet me where the cliff greets the sea Come!
