Call to Arms

When they see us they will run for their lives
To the end they will pay for their lies
So long did we wait now are home

Here once again there’s a battle to fight
Gathered together for the sound and the might
So long did we wait now we are home

Now we will fight for the Kingdom fighting with steel
Kill all of them their blood is our seal
Fight till the last of the enemy is dead
Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed

I know issue the call, are you ready to fight
Fight all together as one for the right to be free once again
Tonight we will win

I can see by the look that you have in your eyes
You came here for metal to fight and to die
Defenders of Steel now we are home

Fight for the kingdom bound for glory
Armed with a heart of steel
I swear by the Brothers who stand before me
To no man shall I kneel
Their blood is upon my steel
Blood is upon my steel

Fight for the Kingdom fighting with steel
Kill all of them their blood is our seal
Fight till the last of the enemy is dead
Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed

I know issue the call are you ready to fight
Fight all together as one for the right to be free once again
Tonight we will win

I can see by the look that you have in your eyes
You came here for metal to fight and to die
Defenders of Steel now we are home

Fight for the Kingdom fighting with steel
Kill all of them their blood is our seal
Fight till the last of the enemy is dead
Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed

The Fight For Freedom

There’s a sound it’s heard across the land
It’s heard across the sea
You’ll only hear it if you listen with your heart
And one day hope to be free

To hear the sound of freedom many gave their lives
They fought for you and me
Those memories will always live inside us
Now it’s our time to be free

Where the eagles fly I will soon be there
If you want to come along with me my friend
Say the words and you’ll be free
From the mountains to the sea
We’ll fight for freedom again

So ring out loud for all the world to hear
From the sea to shining sea
Let freedom ring and everyman be king
To live as one through the years

Where the eagles fly I will soon be there
If you want to come along with me my friend
Say the words and you’ll be free
From the mountains to the sea
We’ll fight for freedom again

Now’s the time we all must stand together
So raise your hands show them we are strong
Side by side the fight goes on forever
Marching to the battle with this song

Where the eagles fly I will soon be there
If you want to come along with me my friend
Say the words and you’ll be free
From the mountains to the sea
We’ll fight for freedom again

Nessun Dorma

Nessun dorma, nessun dorma
Tu pure, o Principessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stele

Che tremano d`amore
E di speranza

Ma il mio mistero e` chiuso in me,
Il nome mio nessun sapra` no, no
Sulla tua bocca lo diro`
Quando la luce spledera`,
Ed il mio bacio sciogliera` il silenzio
Che ti fa mia

Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate stelle!
Tramontate stelle!

All`alba vincero`!

Vincero!
Vincero!

Nessun Dorma [English Translation]

No one sleeps, no one sleeps
Even you, o Princess,
In your cold room,
Watch the stars,

That tremble with love
And with hope.

But my secret is hidden within me,
My name no one shall know, no, no,
On your mouth I will speak it
When the light shines,
And my kiss will dissolve the silence
That makes you mine.

Vanish, o night!
Set, stars!
Set, stars!
At daybreak, I shall conquer!

I shall conquer!
I shall conquer!

Swords in the Wind

I surrender my soul Odin hear my call
One day I’ll sit beside your throne in Valhalla’s great hall
Like so many before me I’ll die with honor and pride
The right of a warrior forever to fight by your side

Send a sign raise the sail wave a last goodbye
Destiny is calling immortality be mine

Call the witch to cast the runes, weave a magic spell
We who die in battle are born not for heaven not for hell

We are Sons Of Odin the fire we burn inside
Is the legacy of warrior kings who reign upon in the sky

I will lead the charge my sword into the wind
Sons Of Odin fight to die and live again
Viking ships cross the sea, in cold wind, and rain
Sail into the black of night magic stars our guiding light

Today the blood of battle upon my weapons will never dry
Many I’ll send into the laughing as they die

We are Sons Of Odin the fire we burn inside
Is the legacy of warrior kings who reign upon in the sky

I will lead the charge my sword into the wind
Sons Of Odin fight to die and live again
Viking ships cross the sea, in cold wind, and rain
Sail into the black of night magic stars our guiding light

Place my body on your ship and burn it in the sea
Let my spirit rise Valkries carry me
Take me to Valhalla where my brothers wait for me
Fire burning to the sky my spirit will never die

I will lead the charge my sword into the wind
Sons Of Odin fight to die and live again
Viking ships cross the sea, in cold wind, and rain
Sail into the black of night magic stars our guiding light

An American Trilogy

Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away
In Dixieland I’ll take my stand
to live and die in Dixie

In Dixieland where I was born
Early lord one frosty morn
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland

Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on

So hush little baby
Don’t you cry
You know your daddy to die
But all my trials Lord will soon be over

Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on!
His truth is marching on!

Warriors of the World United

Here our soldiers stand from all around the world
Waiting in a line to hear the battle cry
All are gathered here victory is near
The sound will fill the hall bringing power to us all

We alone are fighting for metal that is true
We own the right to live the fight we’re here for all of you
Now swear the blood upon your steel will never dry
Stand and fight together beneath the metal sky

Brothers Everywhere
Raise your hands into the air
We’re Warriors
Warriors of The World
Like thunder from the sky
Sworn to fight and die
We’re Warriors
Warriors of The World

Many stand against us but they will never win
We said we would return and here we are again
To bring them all destruction suffering and pain
We are the hammer of the Gods we are thunder wind and rain

There they wait in fear with swords feeble hands
With dreams to be a king, first one should be a man
I call them out the charge them all with a life that is a lie
And in their final hour they shall confess before they die

Brothers Everywhere
Raise your hands into the air
We’re Warriors
Warriors of The World
Like thunder from the sky
Sworn to fight and die
We’re Warriors
Warriors of The World

If I should fall in battle my brother who fight by my side
Gather my horse and weapons tell my family how I died
Until then I will be strong I will fight for all that is real
All who stand in my way will die by Steel

Brothers Everywhere
Raise your hands into the air
We’re Warriors
Warriors of The World
Like thunder from the sky
Sworn to fight and die
We’re Warriors
Warriors of The World

Hand of Doom

Hand of doom are reaching out to crush all infidels who stray
Time to know the pain no time run within
And these hands you see before you will end the light of day
Your ashes will be cast into the wind

Your bloods upon the soil your body fed to wolves
Not one of you will be left alive
Hear the sound, pounding, and the army of the night
By the Hammer of Thor you now shall die

Tonight we strike there is thunder in the sky
Together we’ll fight some of us will die
We’ll always remember that we made a stand
And many will die by my hand!

We are high atop a mountain with Hammers in the wind
Lusting for blood and death again
In a flash of lighting strike
Now the house of death invites you, body and soul to come within

I see the fear you have inside you can run but never hide
I will hunt you down and tare you limb from limb
Nothing shall remain not your memory, your name
It will be as though you never ever lived

Tonight we strike there is thunder in the sky
Together we’ll fight some of us will die
We’ll always remember that we made a stand
And many will die by my hand!
They will die…
High atop the mountain with Hammers in the wind
Lusting for blood and death
In a flash of lighting strike
Now the house of death invites you, body and soul to come within

I see the fear you have inside you can run but never hide
I will hunt you down and tare you limb from limb
Nothing shall remain not your memory, your name
It will be as though you never ever lived
Tonight we strike there is thunder in the sky
Together we’ll fight some of us will die
But we’ll always remember that we made a stand
And many will die by my hand!
They will die, by my hand… they will die…

House of Death

Blood and thunder mix with rain
Into the Kingdom of darkness again
Lighting flash, my body in flames
All shall knee at the sound of my name
My path is set I live with no regret
I am sworn to kill never to forget
No road back I never will return
Into the fire of hell I will burn and die
Die! Die! Die!
Into the house of death
Die! Die!
Into the fire of hell

Army of the heaven
My army waits in hell
To battle on the earth
For all the souls who fell

I will not go unto my death alone
Seven gates to pass until I reach my home
Across the bridge of death
Beyond the gates of light
Into the heart of darkness
Into the black of night
No road back I never will return
Into the fire of hell I will burn and die
Die! Die! Die!
Into the house of death
Die! Die!
Into the fire of hell

Unto the darkness
I commend my soul
Never shall I repent
Never shall I be save

I’ll go into the hosue of death
Before my last breath
My enemies all shall die

Die! Die! Die!
Into the house of death
Die! Die!
Into the fire of hell

Fight Until We Die

When they come I’ll be ready
I hear their voices inside
The stars in the heavens are moving
Soon they will align

Thor god of thunder
Let me die with a sword in my hand

Raise your hands
Swords in the wind
Brothers of metal together again
With blood in our voices we ride
We’ll fight until we win
Or we’ll fight until we die

Gods of Thunder, Fire and Rain
Cut into the earth till’ none shall remains
Sons of Demons I command you to fly
Rise up from hell into the sky
We’ll fight until we die
