1. On Hooves Of Gold

They are masters of defiance – masters of the wind
Let us fly together – let the change begin
Mountains lie below us – the stars are getting near
All doubt has left my being – strength replacing fear
And they said it's too late – but the bastards will pay

As we ride the wind and fly
On hooves of gold we ride

Consuming without feeling – a hollow life of shame
The elders, well of knowledge – discarded, thrown away
New gods taking over – thievery and false pride
Burn the gifts of nature, laugh at the giver of life
With greed raping the land
They don't even know what they demand, no
And they say it's too late – but the bastards will pay

As we ride the wind and fly
On hooves of gold we ride

Ride the wind – change begin
And they say it's too late
But the bastards will pay

As we ride the wind and fly
On hooves of gold we ride

2. Steel Versus Steel

"I was a thousand times more evil than thou"

Drifting away into dreams of despair
Visions of doom and of dead eyes that stare
Will the end be what you thought – will you escape?
Across the plains you rode as you fled
The lord of chaos put a price on your head
And the black blade at your side won't let you rest

To slay became a trade
Your soul will have to pay
The final fate a clash between the blades

And in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
It's the steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel

Skin as white as the full moon at night
Eyes that burn like a red fire light
But the body's still as weak as a newborn child
Tried to rule with mercy inside
Ignore tradition and the dragons will rise
The dreaming city falls – lost in time

To slay became a trade
Your soul will have to pay
The final fate a clash between the blades

'Cause in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
It's the steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel

A thousand souls won't tame the need
To slay became a trade
You will travel on the seas of fate
The seas of fate – between the blades
The price to pay – the end of time
The final fate a clash between the blades

And in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
It's the steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key – the steel

3. Fight

For too long – did we relent
While they stole at our expense
Now the tide has turned
They must fall and we will rise – standing tall

Fight with the power of rage
Fight to the end of our age
With fury burning inside
Fight for the right to survive
Fight for the right to defend
Fight for the right till the end
Conquer and divide
Fight for the right to survive

They forged an alliance – and legions attend
They steal and conspire – all means to an end
Soon they must fall – we'll rise from our crawl
And summon the strength from within

Fight for the right to defend
Fight for the right till the end
Conquer and divide
Fight for the right to survive

Through ages of darkness – slavery and pain
The lie they call progress – an expanding domain
Soon they must fall – we'll rise from our crawl
And summon the strength from within

And we will fight for the right to defend
Fight for the right till the end
Conquer and divide
Fight for the right to survive
Fight with the power of rage
Fight to the end of our age
With fury burning inside
Fight for the right to survive

4. Triumph And Power

Room the breath
Fill my need
Give me space
Plant the seed
Born alone
Slowly grown

There's a strength in my breed
Now my goal has been shown
As I march till dawn
For the triumph and the power
Spoils of war,
For the hunger and desire
A blood red throne
I ascend to the sky
By the dawn's early light
Fight for glory until death

Hail victory

Will of iron
Quiet soul
Empty words
Empty roles
Break their walls
Break their rules
Fiercely defiant
Damn the fools

Now my goal has been shown
As I march till dawn
For the triumph and the power
Spoils of war,
For the hunger and desire
A blood red throne
I ascend to the sky
By the dawn's early light
Fight for glory until death

Hail victory

At last there's a reason to believe
To rise from depths of misery
My heart clad in iron
My soul clad in steel
The triumph and power achieved

As I march till dawn
For the triumph and the power
Spoils of war,
For the hunger and desire
A blood red throne
I ascend to the sky
By the dawn's early light
Fight for glory until death

For the triumph and the power
Spoils of war,
For the hunger and desire
A blood red throne
I ascend to the sky
By the dawn's early light
Fight for glory until death

Hail victory

5. Dominator

He made a promise many years ago to break and scorch the land
He had a need for destruction and to bend us to the ground
He swore an oath: To bring us fear and pain
To never bend or rest until it's done – before he had become

The dominator – freedom hater – he will break us, crush our dreams
Amputator – lacerator – spreading madness, mindless hate – dominate

Bringing everlasting pain
So many tragedies and years ago for you to understand
The devastation that he brought will leave a mark until the end
He swore an oath – to bring us fear and pain
To never bend or rest until it's done – before he had become

The dominator – freedom hater – he will break us, crush our dreams
Amputator – lacerator – spreading madness, mindless hate – dominate

He walks alone
He'll put out our fire with scorn
He'll never rest – just enslave us
Destroyer of beasts and of man
Enforcer of madness and pain
He's sworn to break us – the dominator
Born of hate – Crush and break – Annihilate – Dominate
I swore an oath – I will reverse his plan
I will restore – bringing power to the land, but the price is that I am

The dominator – freedom hater – I will bleed you, crush your dreams
Amputator – lacerator – spreading madness, mindless hate – breathing pain

Born of hate – Crush and break – Annihilate – Dominate

7. Holmgång

You're awaiting your turn, jealousy burns – you know you had your chance
Wanting to lead, filling your greed – envy drives your plans
Stole what I made, all that I saved – never letting up
But in the end there can be only one – and justice will be done

Take your light
Got nowhere to run
Bring the fight
You know the time is now
Steal your life
Got nowhere to run
Take your light

Sun in the back when I attack – there is no return
Beckoning time, I know what is mine – only you will burn
In the light of the day you'll finally pay – this is what you learn
In the end there can be only one – and justice will be done

Take your light
Got nowhere to run
Bring the fight
Justice will be done
Steal your life
Got nowhere to run
Take your light
There can be only one
Take your light
Got nowhere to run
Bring the fight
You know the time is now
Steal your life
Got nowhere to run
Take your light

8. The Naked And The Dead

In a flash he turned to stone
Hesitated, lost control
Just a man a dying warrior
Battleground drenched in blood
Bodies flayed down in the mud
Mercy never came on this day

For the naked and the dead
There's no glory or reward to be had
If the spirit travels on it's by will power alone
'Cause the body's just a cell of flesh and blood

While the blood seeps to the ground
There are times you realise
How the pain can change your life
Bragging fools will surely pay the price
No set of rules will end the strife
You have to twist and bend in life
The mind is what defines a warrior

For the naked and the dead
There's no glory or reward to be had
If the spirit travels on it's by will power alone
'Cause the body's just a cell of flesh and blood

For the naked and the dead
There's no glory or reward to be had
And if the spirit travels on it's by will power alone
'Cause the body's just a cell of flesh and blood
While the blood seeps to the ground
Only the chosen one will rise

10. The Hammer Will Bite

The giant arrived, scheming to end Asa rule
Mean as a whip, hard as a rock but a fool
The battle will start at the first light of tomorrow
Jorunheim knew what the thunder would bring

The hammer will bite – no other choice than surrender
Bow to the might – a fiery death from above
The hammer will bite – shattering stone and offenders
Run for your lives – thunder and doom crack the sky
The hammer will bite – you will die

Colossal in size, they built him with magic and clay
Heart from a horse, a fatal mistake for this day
Protector of Asgard never lacked courage
The towering help to the giants will fail

The hammer will bite – no other choice than surrender
Bow to the might – a fiery death from above
The hammer will bite – shattering stone and offenders
Run for your lives – thunder and doom crack the sky
The hammer will bite – you will die

By morning light – the giants die
My death is guaranteed – unless I make him bleed
I can't face him on my own – it's sorcery I need
My help is gone – I'm on my own
My stone is thrown – all is lost

The hammer will bite – no other choice than surrender
Bow to the might – a fiery death from above
The hammer will bite – shattering stone and offenders
Run for your lives – thunder and doom crack the sky
The hammer will bite – you will die
By morning light – the giants die
