Rising Out of the Ashes

The morning has come with the dawn of the sun, and the masses arise to the day. They meet their despair in pointless travail, lost in the eyes of the world where Death is the stage. For Mammon they live, to themselves they will give, of treasure and gluttonous pride. To Self they bow down, they worship their crown, alive in the eyes of the world, but Death lives inside. Arise, my friends, arise! The sword is the spirit of life, Awaken your souls, that you may never die! In the Battle of the Living Dead

Life, I know it so well It's sorrow and tears and death An abode of hell My living hell . . . Tomorrow I fear my breath Will forever fail Life, a moment in time The years of a man they vanish Into shades of night The shades of night . . . I fear my soul will be banished To the realm of sighs And who will descend to show me the light? And who will remember me in my plight? The sins of the soul will rise The alien lie is in you Forever you will fight The Enemy Mind within you Lie . . . in the fields where carrion dine We are the Enemy Mind We are thee, Enemy Mind We are thee, Enemy . . . MIND!

We descend from the belt of Orion Our life-giving star has come to an end Civilization is dying We deem to survive, we search for a land And we've explored the galaxies There is just one place we can live and breathe So we will overthrow the race of man His way of woe and hate command We are Invaders from afar, a dying star Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . . We sail through the system Solaris With thousands of ships in the speed of the light Hail to our leader we cherish Our weapons of war prepared for the fight And we are far beyond his years Man is just nothing but a beast, atomic spears So we will make this earth our home, our sphere This is our destiny so near Through solemn war, our race it must survive Yet with remorse, the race of man must die Through laser forces, with humans we collide There is no hope for mankind to survive. We are Invaders from afar, a dying star Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . . We are Invaders from afar, a dying star Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .

It was a darkened day December, I heard the hammer in the wind It was a day we will remember, For the Winds of Thor their story would begin. For you are the rich man, and we are the poor You have the power, but the force we have will blow forever more. Winds of Thor, Winds of Thor . . . Now you've come to our village, And you've taken all that we have. And your king sends his brigades, To take our lives and lead us to our deaths. For you are the mighty, and we are the low You have the power, but the force we have will roar forever more. Winds of Thor, Winds of Thor . . . The warships of Odin have landed, The thunders of Thor have sounded, And now you will fall in the valley of tears . . . We will invoke the mighty Winds of Thor We will invoke the mighty Winds of Thor We will invoke the mighty Winds of Thor We will invoke the mighty Winds of Thor

[based on John Milton's PARADISE LOST - 1667] They rise from this fiery region, On dragon-like wings, by thousands they've come to war. And dark are the Seraphic Legions, With armor and shield, they raise their flaming swords. In the name of the Archangel Lucifer The Legions hath come, to divide and to conquer Thy kingdom, Thy power, Thy throne, The Seraphic legions they goe . . . The celestial armies of heaven, Descend from the Sovereign's sky forth God's command. And lo, Michael with sword in hand, He leads the Lordian Guard to slay to damn. In the name of the Almighty Father, The angels hath come to cast out the Legions Forever, to the infernal realm, From heaven to hell . . . On chariots of thunder and lightning, On Lordian Steeds the angels smite their foe. And the Seraph they fall to destruction, As the hounds and the carrion of hell feast on their corpse. Now lost is the Archangel Lucifer, Who thought in his mind, he could rise to Empyrean dominion 'Til fate was his foe, The will of God his woe . . .

My name is Man, from dust I stand, A newborn song, a story. Upon this land, Almighty hands, Hath filled my eyes with glory. The life I breathe, a Force unseen, Reveals all that I am . . . My Name is Man, My Name is Man, My name is Man . . . Behold the crystal rivers feed the oceans Celestial sphere of solar fire drinketh from the sea And the fountains in the sky pour life on every seed. Behold the womb of earth brings forth the mountains The canyon walls so grand they stand, before the valley floor, And the face of land and sea, they meet on seven shores We are earth, we are heaven We are flesh, we are blood We inherit Thy kingdom We are all, we are One . . . We are earth, we are heaven We are flesh, we are blood We inherit Thy kingdom We are all, we are One . . .

It comes through the heavens, on a mission from hell A force of destruction, that nothing can repel A story is born that no one will live to tell The obliteration of man, now encased in its shell At the push of a button, we all will go to hell Who will be left to toll the funeral bell . . . The Hammer will Fall on you! The Hammerwill Fall on you! Devastation, destruction of all the nations Annihilation, clouding of all the skies Raise the dead from their graves, and throw in yourselves and hide Save us - from ourselves Save us - from ourselves Save us - from ourselves Save us - from ourselves Save us . . .

We are the pen, we are the mind, we are keepers of the light, We are the fools, we are the free, we are Sons of a Dream. I dream about a season I sleep inside a place where I am free - and wandering. I roam the deepest canyons I soar the highest skies that I might see - my fantasies. I am the seed of a vision I am the one who forsees I pray the world will remember, some day the world will believe . . . I live inside your reason I breathe your thoughts, I speak what's not to be - reality. I'm free, yet I'm in prison I'm tame but cannot fly with broken wings - my fate will be. I am the seed of a vision I am the one who forsees I pray the world will remember, some day the world will believe . . . We are the pen, we are the mind, we are keepers of the light, We are the fools, we are the free, we are Sons of a Dream. We are the pen, we are the mind, we are keepers of the light, We are the fools, we are the free, we are Sons of a Dream.

[based on Homer's Iliad] As time marches back to infinity I behold in my eyes That this land of serenity Once was a furnace of fire. At swords, were the gods of the heavens For the plight of the city of Troy And for years, did the warriors do battle For the fight of the Helen of Troy He was the mighty Achilles He sought the glory of war In the heat of fighting and killing He bought the blood of his enemies, with his sword He stole their breath, giving them the grave as their reward He was the mighty Achilles He slaughtered legions at war With the speed of lightning and zeal He carved his name, forever into books of lore An immortal legend - helmet, shield, and sword Commend the dead who fought and bled upon the fields And bury them with honors, swords and shields Remember them they could not fend in the end In the face of Achilles' anger, his revenge. Hail to the one! To the king of the dead in Acheron In his shadow we fade, we are lost in his name. Hail to the one! To the king of the dead in Acheron In his shadow we fade, we are lost in his name. Hail to the one!
