1. Victory
In the land of the dark and brave
on the seas towards the souls you'll save
under skies of charcoal gray
the strong survive, and the weak will pray
silver moon as she shines so bright
on the water as our guiding light
always there for a helping hand
heading to a foreign land!
RISE UP
your swords of steel
for the souls you'll save
onward to Thunder Bay
RISE UP
your voices strong
and scream along
cry out –– VICTORY!!
clash of steel, its burning light
engaging foes to another fight
marching across the foggy lands
forge ahead as we make our stand
bloody flesh lay across the field
blackened leather and tarnished shields
staking claim to a fallen town
fists are up and the hammer's down!
RISE UP
your swords of steel
for the souls you'll save
onward to Thunder Bay
RISE UP
your voices strong
and scream along
cry out –– VICTORY!!
metal strikes echo across the sky
eerie silence as another dies
hundred years of rape and pillage
screams of praise as we clear the village
shedding blood for our fellow man
tortured souls can rest again
sailing back on the blackened sea
raise our flag in victory
RISE UP
your swords of steel
for the souls you'll save
onward to Thunder Bay
RISE UP
your voices strong
and scream along
cry out –– VICTORY!!
VICTORY!!
2. End Of The World
Come, we must fly
Oh, you and I
We'll find escape
At the edge of the world
I can sense a new age coming
The tired ground below is rumbling
Mother earth is cracking from the stress she's under
No matter how much we have tried
The little we do won't stem the tied
It's time to get out before madness takes over
Maybe we can't stop the forces that are now in play
But we can delay
Enjoy the time we have
Come, we must fly
Oh, you and I
We'll find escape
At the edge of the world
There, we will hide
Alone, you and I
Waiting as one
For the end of the world
Just like you, I want to hold on
To all the things that soon will be gone
My heart is hanging low from the sense of loss
Desperate times call us to act
Separate the wheat from the chaff
The salient things must rise and the rest be tossed
Maybe we can't stop the forces that are now in play
But we can delay
Enjoy the time we have
Come, we must fly
Oh, you and I
We'll find escape
At the edge of the world
There, we will hide
Alone, you and I
Waiting as one
For the end of the world
Maybe we can't stop the forces that are now in play
But we can delay
Live another day
We can hide away
Enjoy the time we have
Come, we must fly
Oh, you and I
We'll find escape
At the edge of the world
There, we will hide
Alone, you and I
Waiting as one
For the end of the world
3. Messiah
Birthed when lightning struck the sky
Offspring of a sacred line
His arrival marks the battle
Soldiers by his side
Earthly kings hide in fear
They know the end is near
Messiah
Messiah
Save us from the flames
His coming was long foretold
In the ancient texts of old
He will free us from the darkness
Brings us into light
No more sorrow or pain
He's come to break the chains
Messiah
Messiah
Save us from the flames
4. Angel's Thunder, Devil's Reign
Lady luck has shined her light
No, you won't be home tonight
City streets are calling my name
Hit the gas and burn the road
Pistons pumpin' overload
All or nothing, always my game
Live fast, die young
Make it last
The night has just begun
Angel's thunder, devil's reign
Heavy metal runs through my veins
Blackened steel and gasoline
Living out my rebel dream
The night ain't over 'til I say so
Lady leather's by my side
Hang on tight it's time to ride
Love ain't over 'til I say go
Live fast, die young
Make it last
The night has just begun
Angel's thunder, devil's reign
Heavy metal runs through my veins
Angel, guide me through the night
El diablo, carry me through the fight
5. Burn The Daylight
Taken by forces that come from behind
Life's little mines
Hidden from sight
Worming their way deeply into our minds
Tell us it's all right
So we run, run on while we still can
Ravenous just like the living dead
Caught between the rebels and the minions
Striving on to keep our spirits fed
Burn the daylight
Rip up the road
It's not enough to survive
Hit the red line
Or we're swallowed
I need to know I'm alive
Creeping up slowly, we fall one by one
Held softly in
Life's easy chair
Changes subtle we hardly notice
Drifting unware
So we run, run on while we still can
Ravenous just like the living dead
Caught between the rebels and the minions
Striving on to keep our spirits fed
Burn the daylight
Rip up the road
It's not enough to survive
Hit the red line
Or we're swallowed
I need to know I'm alive
6. Heart Of A Lion
He could have lived his life
Using stone walls as a shield,
But Richard preferred the glory
Found out on the battle field
Overlooked by his father
More a son of Aquitaine
Torn between his source of power
And his passion for his mother's land
Born the son of a king
His passion was undying
A relentless warrior
With the heart of a lion
Richard was next in line
But Henry's plans were a haze
So he joined Phillip of France
To end his father's reign
When he finally took the throne
He disliked the name he'd made
Hoping to right himself with God
He sought penance in the third crusade
Born the son of a king
His passion was undying
A relentless warrior
With the heart of a lion
Richard laid siege to acre
Irritating Saladin
But losses forced him to retreat
Much to his own Chagrin
He returned to Aquitaine
To recapture his lost prize
Too brave to wear his armor
An arrow brought his premature demise
Born the son of a king
His passion was undying
A relentless warrior
With the heart of a lion
Richard, the lion heart
7. Armor Of Light
Look around us and you will see flaming arrows
Soaring through the air
Archers intent on inflicting their damage
No one will be spared
But there's a secret
The wise men know
Rise from your slumber
There's evil lurking down below
Free yourself
You won't fear the dark of night
When you ride
In the armor of light
Deep in the depths of all our yearning hearts
There's a fire to behold
Put on your helmet and take up your shield
Wrap yourself in a breastplate of gold
Men of violence
Men of greed
Men of hatred
Will fall in anguish at your knees
Free yourself
You won't fear the dark of night
When you ride
In the armor of light
8. Set The World Alight
I don't have a tomorrow
They've taken everything from me
My house, my wife, my family
Innocent and disregarded
I'm so consumed with anger
Thoughts of vengeance taunting me
There're detached and indifferent
No concern for my loss or pain
I wasn't looking for a cause or for a fight
I am just a simple man
But my life has been completely torn apart
Acts of malice force my hand
Rise, gather all my strength and rise
From the wreckage
Watch, while I set the world alight
Throughout the night I'm restless
It is impossible to sleep
How many will be orphaned
From the revenge that I seek?
Than all at once it happens
Summoned by a holy vision
He whispers gently to me
Who will care for all my children?
Suddenly I feel a flood of energy
I awaken to new light
I'll turn my loss into someone else's gain
And set my mind to a new fight
Rise, gather all my strength and rise
From the wreckage
Watch, while I set the world alight
I wasn't looking for a cause or for a fight
I am just a simple man
But I'll turn my loss into someone else's gain
And set my mind to a new fight
Rise, gather all my strength and rise
From the wreckage
Watch, while I set the world alight

<![CDATA[
Down in Texas
Deep in my soul
Angels cry out
Calling me home
Wash my sins
In the Rio Grande
I'm living free
Gun in my hand
Ride, a loner
Pride, I hear the songs
And tales of yesterday
Her southern star
Will shine forever
San Antonio
I make my stand
They know my name
San Antonio
I may be gone
But I'll never fade away
Rattlesnakes hide
In the shadow of night
A coyote howls
In lonely moonlight
Searching for ghosts
I found a rebirth
Never was there
More beauty on earth
Ride, a loner
Pride, I hear the songs
And tales of yesterday
Her southern star
Will shine forever
San Antonio
I make my stand
They know my name
San Antonio
I may be gone
But I'll never fade away
10. Caught In The Witches Eye
In the land of the long forgotten
Where the rivers of tears
Washes the troubled souls clean
Lives a gypsy with a wandering spirit
And the blackest eyes
This world has ever seen
She stands at the ready
With the wolves by her side
She knows to wait long enough
For my resistance to subside
Caught in the witch's eye
And I'm running out of time
Hard luck is coming my way
Cause I'm caught in the witch's eye
Now and then she creeps out of the shadows
When the moon hangs low
And the harvest is ripe
There to comfort the weak and downtrodden
With promises of triumph
Over every gripe
She stands at the ready
With the wolves by her side
She knows to wait long enough
For my resistance to subside
Caught in the witch's eye
And I'm running out of time
Hard luck is coming my way
Cause I'm caught in the witch's eye
11. Ready To Shine
The waiting is over
I'm ready to shine
The chains that once held me down
Will no longer bind
I lived with uncertainty
And suffered through pain
Thought I had no control
So I prayed for change
Yeah, I prayed for change
Finally, I realized
The power's inside
My fears are left behind
I'm ready to shine
I was floating in anger
Adrift in black seas
Always hoping for something to change
Or someone to rescue me
Then one day I raised my eyes
A new door came to light
Found the strength to walk through
Into a new life
Yeah, into a new life
Finally, I realized
The power's inside
My fears are left behind
I'm ready to shine
12. Raining Fire
Fighting forces forsaken to man
Bringing destruction is part of the plan
Raise your weapons, brute force is a must
Ride the thunder, engage the thrust
Break the silence, scorching the sky
Touch the heavens, the maiden she flies
Wind fanning flames as the engines combust
Leathered fighters, intentions unjust
Synchronized warfare
Riveted steel
Hypnotized puppet
Doing the deed for the thrill of the kill
Fight or you will
Die so you must
Fly into the
Raining fire
Stalk the rebel who's set in my sights
Locked and loaded and ready to strike
Driving the enemy back to their land
United in justice we stand
Chase the bandits, the scourge of mankind
Rage, fury and action combined
Heavy machines with hearts made of steel
Power and glory meet passion and will
Synchronized warfare
Riveted steel
Hypnotized puppet
Doing the deed for the thrill of the kill
Fight or you will
Die so you must
Fly into the
Raining fire
Disciplined fighters are leading the fleet
Sirens screeching, alerting the weak
Pillars of fire, a warning to heed
Face the battle, committed we bleed
Synchronized warfare
Riveted steel
Hypnotized puppet
Doing the deed for the thrill of the kill
Fight or you will
Die so you must
Fly into the
Raining fire
