1. As They Descend

(инструментал)

2. Giants Of Canaan

Sons of God we have been watching
Over His children and jealous we grow
We descend not to partake of beauty
We shall soon know of the women of earth

Cursed we are
For our sins now
Creators of the Nephilim

Fallen Ones
Who desired flesh – our lust awakened!

Two hundred strong
We now descend
We shall create our children

Fallen Ones
who fathered beasts – the Giants of Canaan!

In the days of Jared we had sworn an oath
To bind us together in unholy deeds
Seduced by the beauty of pure mortal flesh
Wicked creations sprung
forth from our needs

Now we face the God's fury as
He sends the earth a cleansing
The Greatest Flood, a tool to
wash away betrayal
Jealousy and lust have caused
two hundred to defy Him
Disgraced by hate and shame
we know bow before Him!

WAKE UP! My children awaken
For you know not what you do...
and my love you have forsaken
Don't you realize how it hurts me inside?
As your loving Father and Creator...
It rips out my heart... rips out my heart
AM I NOT YOUR GOD?!

3. Trapped In Black

In a home of marble and stone I pray
my soul shall never need to roam...
And I'm chasing shadows,
I am chasing shadows in the dark

I hear death calling me now...
must stop it from coming somehow!
Has my mind gone out of control?
Call the priest – he must save my soul!

All my life I have tried
to always do what's right
All these tears through the years –
I fear being buried alive!

I can hear the dirt hitting the lid
I push and strain, but it just won't give
I scream for help, but they just don't hear
Oh, my God – I'm chocking on fear!

Premature burial...
Trapped in black!

Through I'm made of flesh and bone
I know that my soul won't be left alone
And now all my fears are calling,
they won't leave my mind alone!

Born into this life alone
What place will be my spirit's final home
Now I hear the darkness calling
They won't leave my mind alone!

Cry!
Do you hear my cries?
In the grave where I now lie
On this day I know I'll die
Don't wanna be buried alive

Can you hear my cries?
In the grave where I now lie
Now I'm doomed to die...
And here I am buried alive!

Trapped in black!

4. The Hammer

Preparing the war,
Martel is now massing again
Training the young
who now are prepared to be men
Learning the ways of battle rage
on through the night
They're willing to die for their country
against Muslim might!

Born to this life of battle
Nothing else can matter
He is the chosen one now
All shall feel his power!

The Hammer is falling again!
The Hammer keeps falling!

Appearing before them
the enemy did not expect
To beat down the Muslims
until they have breathed their last breath!

Battling on,
Martel sends his troops behind lines
To plunder the treasure
the enemies had left behind

Crimson skies above them
Crashing hooves below them
Fifty thousand heathens
Martel prepares to cleave them!

In times of trial
he was unmatched in ways of war
Invading forces were soon pushed back
pushed back to their shores...
In tales they called him "The Hammer" Martel
All the enemies who stood before him fell...
all before him soon fell.. to HELL!

Sensing defeat the enemies turn tail and run
The Hammer's tactics of genius
the reason he'd won
Outnumbered his army stood ground
and they did soon prevail
And all throughout history
we will now speak of this tale!

5. Washed In Blood

Forty days and forty nights I have wandered
Through this desert and my soul...
I feel this is my destiny
I have fasted and I have seen the visions
What does my Father want of me?

Is it my blood? Is is my body?
Am I the one? What is this before me?

I have been tempted
in the sands by the Serpent
for possession of my soul
But soon all of our sins are...

Washed in the blood of the Nazarene
Cleansed by the blood of the Nazarene
My Father's vision was foreseen...
Washed in the blood of the Nazarene

Is there a way for this cup
to be passed from me?
My Father, now I say to you
For I a just a mortal man – Am I not?
I have faced Legion and cast out the demons
I have cured the sick in man!
My Son, your blood shall cleanse them

6. Sands Of Time

Forged in fire the sound
it has become legend
Raise your fists to the armies of iron might
See them march on
in armor of blackened leather
Now they carry weapons of metal fight

The sonic assault has begun
The hall is starting to burst
The battleground is the stage
Metal soldiers prepare t quench thirst

The sound was carved "In Rock"
and carried in an airship
Heavy with Led some said
it would never take flight
A storm of thunder and rain crashed
through chiming church bells
After the doom
a great Rainbow rose into sight

The sonic assault has begun
The hall were starting to burst
We knew it would not fade away
Rock & Roll soldiers stalk the earth

Sands of time... Sands of time...
SANDS OF TIME... Yeah!

Electric axes wail on
Drums of thunder are pounding their doom
Bass guitars are rumbling down
Metal screams wake dead from their tombs

The '80s came
and the sounds they grew even louder
We hailed the new wave of steel
intense British might
Inspired the States joined the battle
and brandished our weapons
We attacked on at Helm's Deep
we still fight for the right!

ATTAAAACK!!!

7. Curse The Light

Is this place that I'm in still my home?
If it is why do I feel alone?
Am I dreaming or am I awake?
A legacy of fear I must escape

Is this another page set to be burned?
Where is the lesson
that we should have learned?
Where is the hope, the honor and light?
Where is the truth – is it worth it to fight?

In the shadows they crawl...
Long forgotten and twisting their skins
Within the broken halls...
No words are spoken – the madness begins!

Broken voices and shattering light
Losing strength as the chants fill the night
As the fate of it all turns to black
I push on for there's no turning back

Say goodbye to the land I once knew
And precious blood
that was spilled here for you
Prisoner of a once perfect world
No live or hate as the new flag unfurls...

As the madness begins in the night
Fighting on as the truth fades from sight
While their voices are cursing the light
I still fight foe what's right!

Raise your voices so they may be heard
Take control if the lesson is leaned
Poison logic infecting us all
Prepare now for society's fall
Insanity has now become sane
All that was right has now gone up in flames
Total loss what we earned in might
Let's take it back...
let's all stand up and let's FIGHT!

8. Black Winds Calling

Driven by fear
Driven by hate
Forged in the fires that kill

Grinding our teeth
As we smash through the waste
Rending of iron and will

Black winds calling
Sons of war
No redemption
Death to saviors

Begging for mercy
with blood on their shields
The hope for a victory fades
Trapped under bodies that rot in the fields
Suffering the oath that they gave

As we written by the hand of the destroyer
Born of ice
the sacred runes of the deliverer

Black winds calling
Sons of war
No redemption
No repentance

Gives us strength
our ancient fathers of the North
Death in glory as we hold the fate of winters

Living for death
Life has no freedom
As enemies gather their will
Save your last breath
Son in time you will know
The strength that it takes you to kill

As was told in songs by
prophets long for forgotten
souls of the deliverers

Crushed to submission your armies fall back
Driven by fear to the sea
Paralyzed by the relentless attack
Those who would fight shall be free

9. Steel Vengeance

You're running for your life
I'm creeping with a knife
You know you've ripped my life to shreds!
I'm gonna make you pay
It just might be today
I know your heart is filled with dread!

I know your whole routine now
I've stalked you for so long now
My blade is sharp and steely
I'll carve away these feelings...

Nothing can save you now
No once can show you how
I'll slice your silky flesh to strips!
I wear this mask of vengeance
Death now shall be your sentence
Unfaithful games now take their toll!

I'll see your on your knees soon
I'l sneak into your dark room
Soon you will beg for mercy
But my steel is so thirsty

Revenge... Revenge... REVENGE! Yeah!
Steel vengeance!
(Come taste the blade now!)

Your secret life has ended
My honor now defended
I'm one you should not double cross!
And as you lay before me
While pools of blood are forming
Will God now save your cheating soul?

I stand here with no remorse
My plan has taken its course
No voices in my head now
I've kept my sacred vow

STEEL VENGEANCE!

10. Born Into Battle

With honor and tempered steel
I kneel before him now
Guard to my Emperor
my creed a sacred vow
Riding, charging, fighting, dying...

I fight for his life
For him I would die
To glory we ride
Steely samurai

Protecting the throne
This life is my own
For him I will give
So that he may live

I look to the ones who came before me now
Pass on your wisdom
and your strength to allow...

If it should come to pass that I must fail
I'll sacrifice my life to honor my name...

Without honor my life is meaningless
My spirit will live on beyond mortal flesh...

Fighting and dying is all
that seems to matter now
WIth honor and courage
I bow before my Emperor

Heeding my orders to the letter of my master
Born into battle, I'll take my own life if I fail

I sense impending doo,
upon the battlefield
Sacred katana sword sings death as I weild
Chopping, slicing, stabbing, KILLING!

Pride burns deep within me as I now prepare
I feel my blade touch flesh,
but I am not scared

I look into the sky now as I bleed...
Disgrace will have no part of me
I grip the handle of my blade
To my ancestral line I pray...

11. The Glen Of The Ghost

Shrouded in mist in the eerie moonlight
Slowly I see she is coming my way
My heart skips a beat
and I'm shaking with fright
For now I can see it's the lady in grey...

In the time of my youth
they would all speak of her
Haunting the glen with the breeze in her hair
Now in long robes of gray
and sometimes dressed in white
The old ones would fear
Ghostly cries in the night

So let's raise a toast the glen of the ghost
So that she will remain in a place far away
Oh, let's raise a tosat to the glen of the ghost
And let is all pray that we're not led astray

So as she draws nearer and
I reach out my hand
For now I'm at place and I do understand
That she's a dark angel come
to take me home
Never to wander this place all alone

Oh, the banshee will cry on the day that I die
Or in the night by the light of the moon
Yes, the banshee will cry when it's my time to die
But I still hope and pray that it won't be too soon

Friends have no fear for we shall meet again
The time is at hand
to now walk through the glen
A shimmering light can be seen up ahead
Family and friends now await beyond death
