GOD OF MOUNTAINS We are the kingdom, the power of steel The battle arises again To Conquerors, warriors, sorcerers, kings The sound of destruction we bring Their feeble hearts will be struck by fear As our armies draw near None will be saved, not one life spared They all shall die by sword and spear The glorious, the mighty Kingdom of steel That lives in the hearts of men The sword of power Was given to me Now we'll make our last stand Ride like lightning, blaze the sky Strike like thunder, feel the might We may die, but we won't run or hide Tonight is the night, 'cause we fight for our lives God of Mountains, we hail you, we won't fail. The armies of darkness fell before us We are the Defenders of Faith We're gathered together as brothers and equals We share the Sacred Name We are one and all, we know the secret of steel We heed the Dragon Call Sworn to avenge, never to fall Forged by the Hammer of Thor The glorious, the mighty Kingdom of steel That lives in the hearts of men The sword of power Was given to me Now we'll make our last stand Ride like lightning, blaze the sky Strike like thunder, feel the might We may die, but we won't run or hide Tonight is the night, 'cause we fight for our lives God of Mountains, we hail you, we won't fail. Forever proud and brave! The battlefields ablaze, and fire's on the earth Lightning in the sky, soldiers fight and die As we bring havoc and despair, some will live to tell We're unharmed by their steel, impervious to their spells We pledged our lives to the Mountain God Ride like lightning, blaze the sky Strike like thunder, feel the might We may die, but we won't run or hide Tonight is the night, 'cause we fight for our lives God of Mountains, we hail you, we will Ride like lightning, blaze the sky Strike like thunder, feel the might We may die, but we won't run or hide Tonight is the night, 'cause we fight for our lives God of Mountains, we hail you, we will Ride like lightning, blaze the sky Strike like thunder, feel the might We may die, but we won't run or hide Tonight is the night, 'cause we fight for our lives God of Mountains, we hail you, we won't fail. God of Mountains, we hail you, we won't fail. Warriors to the grave.

REST OF MY SOUL In soothing dreams, when darkness falls Though nothing’s worthwhile I behold the night and feel at home Pouring blood right through my soul And still the end is just a distant goal and hope is just too far away… Please bring me back to my destiny Give me the rest of my soul Lay me to rest and meet my love And be as one forever more Now you’re gone, and I’m as well No second chance, no wishing well, I’ve lept into a void Let me scream my will to die I don’t care I will deny my faith right away Please bring me back to my destiny Give me the rest of my soul Lay me to rest and meet my love And be as one forever more Bring on the night – please end my pain Bring on the light – kill me again

HAND OF GLORY Long pathways of silence / Sinners and Saints Praise evil, repentance / All in my name Quench darkness, haste now / Treat your queen a Hand of Glory Now summon the One / Clench the power harnessing the Flame Fly now, free your soul Live a dream, never looking back Smile to your fate, son of the light Born once again I am fire, wind and rain Living forest, elemental fey Take the vessel, drink the dew Then once again live through the Land and let the Land be you Thou eerie denizens of timeless glades Awaken, right now! Heed my command! I mean you no harm, all I seek is means of justice The power, the will, and the word to blend them into one Fly now, free your soul Live a dream, never looking back Smile to your fate, son of the light Born once again I am fire, wind and rain Living forest, elemental fey Take the vessel, drink the dew Then once again live through the Land and let the Land be you I slip through the curtains / I prowl in the night No word of denial / As the trial begins Fly now, free your soul Live a dream, never looking back Smile to your fate, son of the light Born once again I am fire, wind and rain Living forest, elemental fey Take the vessel, drink the dew Then once again live through the Land and let the Land be you

COMRADES Comrades, pour the wine to-night For the parting is with dawn! Oh, the clink of cups together, With the daylight coming on! Greet the morn With a double horn, When strong men drink together! Comrades, gird your swords to-night, For the battle is with dawn! Oh, the clash of shields together, With the triumph coming on! Greet the foe, And lay him low, When strong men fight together! Comrades, watch the tides to-night, For the sailing is with dawn! Oh, to face the spray together, With the tempest coming on! Greet the sea With a shout of glee, When strong men roam together! Comrades, give a cheer to-night, For the dying is with dawn! Oh, to meet the stars together, With the silence coming on! Greet the end As a friend a friend, When strong men die together!
