A sabaton or solleret is part of a knight's armour that covers the foot. Fifteenth century sabatons typically end in a tapered point well past the actual toes of the wearer's foot. Sabatons of the first half of sixteenth century end at the tip of the toe and may be wider than the actual foot. The first piece of armour to be put on. Made of riveted iron plates.
Princes and dukes were allowed to have toes of gothic sabatons 2.5 feet (0.76 m) long, lords (barons and higher) 2 feet long and gentry only 1-foot (0.30 m) long.
Kickstart fighter launch
Throttle set to full
Speed king race to win
Afterburners roaring
Ghostlike counterstrike
Takes them by surprise
Score 307
Israelis rule the heaven
Jordan attacks Israel crush that
Futile attempt
Control Jerusalem
Drive back surprise attack
Take the western wall
Next day make them pay
Over river Jordan
Syria last in line
Head for golan heights
Strike without a warning
See the Syria forces falling
Syria attacks Israel crushed their
Lines of defence
Ruling golan heights
[Chorus:]
6 days of fire 1 day of rest
June 67 taught them respect
Control Jerusalem
3 nations fallen in 6 days of war
Traitorous neighbours
Received as deserved
Under the sun in the dust of the war
1 nation standing stronger than before
First into Egypt and
Sent them to hell
Then turned their forces to Jordan
Climb up the mountains
Where Syria awaits
Break them in hours
Protect holy land
That dawn, envoy arrives
Morning of October 28th
No day, proven by deed
Descendence of Sparta,
Athens and Crete!
Look north, ready to fight
Enemies charge from the hills
To arms, facing defeat
There's no surrender,
there's no retreat
Time after time,
force their enemies back to the line
Call to Arms banners fly in the wind,
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of Arms reading freedom or death,
Blood of king Leonidas
Air raid, pounding the land
Bombers are flying both day and night
Endure, six days of rain
Dropped by invaders,
bomb raid in vain
Strike hard, the tables have turned,
Drive them back over the hills
At arms, just like before,
Soldiers, civilians, Hellas at war
By their own hand,
force their enemy out of their land
Call to Arms banners fly in the wind,
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of Arms reading freedom or death,
Blood of king Leonidas
Just like their ancestors ages ago
Fought in the place of the greeks
Cause we will remember what the place were called
Freedom or death in the plains
Just like their ancestors ages ago
Fought in the face of defeat
Those three hundred men left a pride to uphold
Freedom or death in effect
Then, now again
Blood of heroes saving their land
Call to Arms banners fly in the wind,
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of Arms reading freedom or death,
"Water shapes its course according to the nature of the
ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his
victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing.
Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in
Engines are running our blood burns like oil. Head one
One down the highway
Tires are screaming leave trails on the road, the
sirens of
Death coming our way
We’ll always be one step ahead, we’ll not fall back
Pedal to metal rock hard and ride free, the philosophy
of a
Rider
Don’t use the brakes ride on faster instead, adrenaline
Taking you higher
Fall back in line or stand away, we like it fast
Into hell we ride fast as lightning, enter the darkness
The weak ones will pay
Ride through fire cause revolution, this is a
hellrider’s way
Crushing the traitors to no man we kneel, the power is
Our command
Nothing can stop us it’s head over heel, united
together
We stand
If it’s to hard then you’re too weak, you’re in our way
Engines are running our blood burns like oil. Head one
One down the highway
Tires are screaming leave trails on the road, the
sirens of
Death heading our way
Once we lived in harmony, but it seems so distance now.
Even though it wasn’t long ago, were all doomed to
Plague and death. Working hard from dawn ‘til dusk. but
That ain’t enough for him Product of unholy love,
untrue
Brother of a king.
Know that you’ll fail, now hear us hail
Your brother that you killed.
Hail to the king that brought peace to us all. Rise
from
Your grave, hear our call. We’ll not forget that you
once
Saved our land. Killed by your own brothers hand.
Pure evil and cruelty, the true nature of your soul.
Mercy and responsibility, words that you can’t
understand.
Your quest for total control will only end in your own
fall.
We’ will fight for our freedom, and our right to live.
Do it your way, soon you will pay
Debts with your own blood.
Stars so bright, dance in the night
Day come soon, hide the moon
Stars so bright dance in the night
Day come soon, killing the moon
Morning breaks it’s time to march, to the castle of
betrayal.
Bring your sword, wield your armour, we won’t take this
anymore.
Kill the tyrant he must die, for his falseness and his
crimes.
Strike him down, and slay his guards, and his ministers
as well.
Done it your way, now you will pay
Debts with your own blood.
God With Us
Spent the night in formation,
To the battle we marched in the dawn...
We were ready to die for our king
On the fields of Breitenfeld
Fire at will
Aim for their cannons
Counter attack
Thunder of guns
Gott mit uns
As we all stand united
All together Gott mit uns
From the old world's demise
See an empire rise
From the north reaching far
Here we are
On September the seventh
We filled their hearts with fear
Seven times they attacked on that day
Seven times they retreated
Cavalry charge
Follow that banner
After the king
Freedom we bring
Breaking their lines
Thousands of soldiers
Run for their lives
["The Art Of War Re-Armed" bonus track]
Endless waste,
Our patience runs thin.
Here we stand ready.
Let the battle begin!
Hit back! Charge!
As the forces arrive.
Shove! Go! Push!
In the foes let collide!
Facing the storm, battered and torn,
Fighting for our Glorious Land!
Come take our hand, together we stand
Defending our Glorious Land!
Darkness falls
And the screams fade away.
Home of the fallen
And the home of the brave!
Facing the storm, battered and torn,
Fighting for our Glorious Land!
Come take our hand, together we stand
Defending our Glorious Land!
Facing the storm, battered and torn,
Fighting for our Glorious Land!
Come take our hand, together we stand
Defending our Glorious Land!
Facing the storm, battered and torn,
Fighting for our Glorious Land!
Come take our hand, together we stand
But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never
come back into being nor can the dead ever be brought
back to life
Warnings of an airstrike
The sirens scream out loud
Warning on the radio
Of what's coming
Appearing on the radar
A threat from overseas
Planes on the horizon
Cast shadows on the ground
Bringers of destruction
Are ravaging the land
Fury of the bombers
A force to reckon with
Sets the world on fire
Then turns to strike again
Flames are burning higher
The bombs keep falling
AA guns are blazing
As the sky is turning red
better run for cover
You'll be quick or be dead
Burn Burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn Burn
Death from above
Die Die
Merciless killing
Burn Burn
Death from above
Carpet bombing cities
And grinding them to dust
Able men and women
Will all be victims
Everyone will suffer
In the wake of their attack
Bombers show no mercy
A land in ruin
Homes are turned to rubble
When the airstrike has been approved
Facing their destruction
Fear the black wings of death
Burn Burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn Burn
Death from above
Die Die
Merciless killing
Burn Burn
Nothing remains
Cities ruined, turned to dust
All has been lost
Rise from the ashes and strike
AA guns are blazing
As the sky is turning red
Bend under a cover
You be quick or be dead
Burn Burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn Burn
Death from above
Die Die
Merciless killing
Burn Burn
Killing Ground
At Fraustadt the Swedish forces faced
An army almost twice its size.
And on that day we showed the world not only
Our superiority in battle but also
How cruel man can be.
Frozen ground,
Ride with the wind
Emerge from the gunsmoke like demons
Rehnskiöld's men
Charging their flanks
The enemy trembles with fear
One by one the Saxons disband
Or die where they stand
Killing ground
Even though you surrender
Turn around
You will never survive
Killing ground
At the battle of Fraustadt
Fall in line
Battle formations
Show no fear
Riding them down
Break their will
Show them no mercy
Caroleans attack
Round them up, look into their eyes
They beg for their lives
See the Caroleans standing tall
All for one and one for all
Enemies fall at their feet
Begging for their mercy
See the Caroleans standing tall
Conquer lands and slaughter all
Enemies fall at their feet
Clouds are gathering in the darkness. Lightning strikes
Earth. Evil forces celebrate Lucifer’s rebirth
Necromancers, sacrifices, he’ll be here for sure.
Drained blood from a thousand men, and now he’s back
for more.
He will rise from a world down under
Bringing fire, plague, death and thunder
Summons creatures unknown to mankind
Demons of the past
Unholy rites. Assassins from hell
Cold endless nights upon us fell
The storm strikes our land with madness and pain
Winds of the damned drives us insane
Satan’s hordes are coming closer, now it’s time to pay
Riding on the wings of death searching for their prey
Now the time has come for mankind to prove strong or
fall
Fighting against unholy creatures spawned in Satan’s
hall
Trapped in hellfire he was burned
Once locked up but the wind has turned
Seeking vengeance in pain and slaughter
Back on earth again
Demons marked with the five-edged star
Haunt our dreams in this endless war
Killing children and raping women
Jag ser mig om
Och ser mitt hem försvinna bort
Min tid där hemma
Känns nu alldeles för kort
Blott ungdom
Knappt en man då plikten kallade mig
Om jag får se mitt hem igen det vet jag ej.
Bland fränder från min by så drog jag ut till strid
Och världen brann
(Chours)
För kriget det kan
Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv
För mitt fosterland
Men vem saknar mig
Så se mig som den en make en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Men vem sörjer mig
Gick ut I strid för sverige blev döpt I blod,
Där ute väntar döden inte hjältemod.
I fält där fränder faller
Hörs ingen sång, utmanar våra öden ännu en gång.
Långt hemifrån
Döpas och dö I strid
Och världen brann
(Chours)
För kriget det kan
Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv
För mitt fosterland
Men vem saknar mig
Så se mig som den en make en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Men vem sörjer mig
Och när min tid har runnit ut, vem bryr sig då?
De kämpar på får en soldat ett värdigt slut?
Få somna in, försvinna bort, och aldrig vakna
Chours)
För kriget det kan
Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv
För mitt fosterland
Men vem saknar mig
Så se mig som den en make en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Men vem sörjer mig

För kriget det kan
Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv
För mitt fosterland

Så se mig som den en make en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Far beyond their nations' borders
There's an army on the march
For religion, king and glory
In the name of Christ their enemies chastise
Taking orders from the heavens
Through hostile fire they will march
Unaffected by the volleys
Facing death their faith will keep their fear at bay
Into battle facing the fire, Lord thy will be done
Into battle walk in a line
See the white in their eyes, Caroleans are marching on
Put their lives in God's hand for their kingdom and fatherland
See the white in their eyes, Caroleans are marching on
Morale and discipline unites them
A common faith to keep them strong
Always on their way to heaven
In the name of Christ their enemies chastise
Into battle facing the fire, Lord thy will be done
Into battle walk in a line
See the white in their eyes, Caroleans are marching on
Put their lives in God's hand for their kingdom and fatherland
See the white in their eyes, Caroleans are marching on
Fader vår som är i himmelen helgat varde ditt namn
Tillkomme ditt rike ske din vilja
Såsom i himmelen så ock uppå jorden, ge oss bröd ock idag
Och förlåt oss våran skuld
Ahead, facing the lead
An army of Swedes, performing God's deeds
Showing no fear, their judgement is near
Making their sacrifice
When the king and his men
Their enemies sight, prepare for the fight
Banners held high, ready to die
Hear how they praise the Lord
Into battle facing the fire, Lord thy will be done
Into battle walk in a line
See the white in their eyes, Caroleans are marching on
Put their lives in God's hand for their kingdom and fatherland
The dark compulse me everyday
The countdown has begun
I am your master, number one
Realizing pain
I was [holy?]... in the underworld
To live by Satan's will
A creature of unholy pain
Vengeance is my name
I walk alone the path of evil
I'm Satan's number one
Taste my fury, take my vengeance
Now it's time to die
I'm bringing out the shotgun!
Ha ha ha!
I am a breaker of this world
Destruction is my name
Bringing pain and infamy
Into the face of man
I walk alone the path of evil
I'm Satan's number one
Taste my fury, take my vengeance
Now it's time to die
I'm bringing out the shotgun!
Ha ha ha!
The darkened haunts me everyday
The countdown has begun
I am your master, number one
Realizing pain
I walk alone the path of evil
I'm Satan's number one
Taste my fury, take my vengeance
Now it's time to die
I'm bringing out the shotgun!
Ha ha ha!

To their own shore came the world war
Gleaves and the Ingham
leading the Bury west
Took the short way in
the long route back convoy 92
Bury Gleaves and Ingham leading
tankers to the west
and upon the North Atlantic
lies the silence of the seas
on a quiet night in the darkest hour
the Kriegsmarine appear
Above the surface it seems quiet and calm
Deep down below the wolfpack lurks
To their own shore came the world war
Gleaves and the Ingham
leading the Bury west
in their own track came the wolfpack
Gleaves led the convoy
into the hornets nest
At the crack of dawn the second day
Bury stands in flames
half the convoy sunk or disabled
heading back to shore
but below the North Atlantic
on the bottom of the sea
on the second night in the darkest hour
the Kriegsmarine returns
The wolfpack surface for a second time
to make the convoy face its fate
To their own shore came the world war
Gleaves and the Ingham
leading the Bury west
in their own track came the wolfpack
Gleaves led the convoy
into the hornets nest
Under fire under water
may '42 when
Bury did fail the test
to their own shore came the world war
Gleaves and the Ingham
leading them into death
569 makes the contact and lead them
U-94 scores a kill in the dark
124 sinking 4 in 2 approaches
406 suffers failure on launch
U-569 makes the contact and lead them
U-94 scores a kill in the dark
U-124 sinking 4 in 2 approaches
406 suffers failure on launch again
In their own track came the wolfpack
Gleaves led the convoy
into the hornets nest
To their own shore came the world war
Gleaves and the Ingham
leading the Bury west
In their own track came the wolfpack
Gleaves led the convoy
into the hornets nest
Under fire under water

Bury did fail the test
to their own shore came the world war

You can hear the thunder
Long before the storm,
But you can't hear the lion when he stalks his prey
He's moving like a shadow
Creeping up on you
And like a siren's call he's gonna have his way
You'd better run, forget your pride
Don't make a stand, just step aside
If you don't have what it takes
Don't try to play you'll lose your stakes
Remember this at least
It's the nature of the beast
It's the nature of the beast
You won't hear a footstep
Comin' up on you
Movin' like a snake he's in complete control
This killer knows his business
He is the predator
You are his only target, you're his only goal
What will you say what will you do?
Your wildest nightmare's comin' true
There is nothing you can say
No way to change, he won't delay
This cain will have his feast
It's the nature of the beast
It's the nature of the beast
If you play you're bound to lose
Don't roll the dice, don't turn the screws
Just listen to the priest
It's the nature of the beast
It's the nature of the beast
It's the nature of the beast
Du gamla, Du fria, Du fjällhöga nord
Du tysta, Du glädjerika sköna!
Jag hälsar Dig, vänaste land uppå jord,
Din sol, Din himmel, Dina ängder gröna.
Din sol, Din himmel, Dina ängder gröna.
Du tronar på minnen från fornstora dar,
då ärat Ditt namn flög över jorden.
Jag vet att Du är och Du blir vad du var.
Ja, jag vill leva jag vill dö i Norden.
Jag ser mig om och ser mitt hem försvinna bort
Min tid där hemma känns nu alldeles för kort
Blott ungdom, knappt en man då plikten kallade mig
Om hag får se mitt hem igen det vet jag ej
Bland fränder från min by så drog jag ut i strid
Och världen brann
För kriget det kan
Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv för mitt fosterland
Men vem saknar mig?
Så se mig som den
En make, en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Men vem sörjer mig?
Gick ut i strid för Sverige, blev döpt i blod
Där ute väntar döden, inte hjältemod
I fält där fränder faller, hörs ingen sång
Utmanar våra öden, ännu en gång
Långt hemifrån
Döpas och dö i strid
Och världen brann
För kriget det kan
Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv för mitt fosterland
Men vem saknar mig?
Så se mig som den
En make, en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Men vem sörjer mig?
Och när min tid har runnit ut
Vem bryr sig då?
De kämpar på
Får en soldat ett värdig slut?
Få somna in
Försvinna bort
Och aldrig vakna
För kriget det kan
Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv för mitt fosterland
Men vem saknar mig?
Så se mig som den
En make, en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem

Medley: My Buddy/how About Me
Nights are lone since you went away
I think about you
All through the day
My buddy... my buddy...
Nobody quiet so true
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
Just long to know that you understand
My buddy... my buddy...
Your buddy misses you
It's over
All over
And soon somebody else
Will make a fuss about you
But how about me?
It's over
All over
And soon somebody else
Will tell the friends
About you
But how about me
He'll find somebody new
But what am i to do
I'd still remember you
When you have forgotten me
And maybe a baby
Will climb upon your knee
And put his arms around you
But how about me
My buddy... your buddy
Rise of nations pride
Russians on a route to ruin
Kreml is more then certain to win
Sent away an army to the west
Blizzard reigned the ground were chosen
Snow was deep and hell were frozen
Stalin were too eager to invade
He thought of the might he possessed
And not of his foe
Rage of winter
Rise, nations pride
Hold whats yours
Strike'em were it hurts
Fight, hold your ground
Winter war
Reinforce the line
Split them into small divisions
Rip 'em of the conquest visions
Motti tactics used with great result
Snipers move unseen in snowfall
Force them to retreat and recall
Fight the Russian rule and their demand
With Molotov cocktail in hand
No fear of their tanks
Death or glory
Rise, nations pride
Hold whats yours
Strike'em were it hurts
Fight, hold your ground
Winter war
Reinforce the line
A slice of a knife to a throat
And their blood turns to ice
TALVISOTA!
Rise, nations pride
Hold whats yours
Strike'em were it hurts
Fight, hold your ground
Winter war
Reinforce the line
Rise, nations pride
Hold whats yours
Strike'em were it hurts
Fight, hold your ground
Winter war

Min tid nalkas, denna tid går mot sitt slut. Hela Stockholm ser mig krönas, kanoner skjut salut.
Ingen ed lagd, ingen ed jag svär! Kronan kommer ej från kyrkan, den kom direkt från Gud.
Jag visar min styrka genom strid. Född att regera, att föra krig. Knä om knä!
Min tid är här
Över Norden jag härskar, med det arv som jag gavs
Gång på gång
Sjung Carolus sång
Krigets konst jag behärskar
Låt mitt namn sprida skräck
Gång på gång
Sjung Carolus sång
Än en gång, sjung Carolus sång
Född att härska, leda mina män i strid. Ingen man kan mig befalla! Jag lyder under Gud.
Hör min order, ifrågasätt mig ej!
Vet att sådan är min vilja, och därmed ska det ske.
Sida vid sida uti strid, med karoliner går jag i krig, knä om knä!
Min tid är här
Över Norden jag härskar, med det arv som jag gavs

Fiendens dom är här
Låt oss krossa dom
Kasta in dom genom helvetets portar
Allt jag ser, hela vilden skall stoppa mig
Hela Europa ska böja sig för min armé
Vad jag vill skall bli mitt och jag dräper dig
Min vilja ske!
Bevisa min styrka genom strid. Född att regera, att föra krig. Knä om knä!

[English version:]
All embrace me
It's my time to rule at last
Fifteen years have I been waiting
To sit upon my throne
No allegiance
I will swear no oath
Crowned by god not by the church
As my power is divine
They thought I was too young to rule the land
Just as they failed to understand
Born to rule
My time has come
I was chosen by heaven
Say my name when you pray
To the skies
See carolus rise
With the lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the skies
See carolus rise
To the skies
See carolus rise
Proved in battle
Led my men to victory
No man alive or dead commands me
I answer to the lord
Hear my orders
Question me and die
What I say was said in heaven
And so it shall be done
I know I was destined to rule alone
All for myself I have claimed the throne
Born to rule
My time is now
I was chosen by heaven
Say my name when you pray
To the skies
See carolus rise
With the lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the skies
See carolus rise
To the skies
See carolus rise
[Spoken words by Joakim Brodén:]
Framåt Karoliner
Fiendens dom är här
Låt oss krossa dom
Kasta in dom genom helvetets portar
All that's thine
Shall be mine
There's no stopping me
All over Europe my rule shall be questioned by none
All I see
Give to me,
That is my decree
My will be done
They thought I was too young to rule the land
Just as they failed to understand
Born to rule
My time is now
I was chosen by heaven
Say my name when you pray
To the skies
See carolus rise
To the skies
With the lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the skies
See carolus rise
To the skies
Welcome to my kingdom madness
You're just in time for the show
Welcome to my world of darkness
A place where unreal becomes real
Come drink my blood, wake the demon in me
Come taste the wine of my sins
Out of control,
Without any fear of facing the madman
Out of control,
Defying the Gods of Hell
You are out of control
You can't find a shelter in Hellspace,
Under my black wings of doom
The wind in the wasteland is howling
It's the wailing of ghosts of the past
Swing 'cross the ocean of pleasure and pain,
Into my fatal embrace
Out of control,
Without any fear of facing the madman
Out of control,
Defying the Gods of Hell
You are...
Out of control,
Without any fear of facing the madman
Out of control,
Defying the Gods of Hell
You are out of control, whoa yeah!
Out of control,
Without any fear of facing the madman
Out of control,
Defying the Gods of Hell
You are...
Out of control.
Annihilator, breaker of this world
Bring destruction, suffering and pain
Lord of fire, satans number one
Death machine and plague and poison bringer
Turn out the light, I've come for vengeance
In the darkest night, you'll feel my power
Dream destroyer, gazing in the night
Don't resist my nightmare, taste the fire
I've come for you, I'm here for vengeance
In the dash of light, you'll feel my power
Hide from my lies, I can see into your eyes
God appeared, you don't know cause no ones there
Hide from my lies I can see into your eyes
God appeared, you don't know cause no ones there
Running round in circles, there's no escape from me
I'm the last one of my kind, (k)now there is no stopping me
Annihilator, breaker of this world
Bring destruction, suffering and pain
Lord of fire, satans numer one
Death machine and plague and poison bringer
Turn out the light, I've come vengeance
In the dead of night, you'll feel my power
Hide from my lies, I can see into your eyes
God appeared, you don't know cause no ones there
Hide from my lies, I can see into your eyes
VERSE:
Dreams are seldom shattered by a bullet in the dark
Rulers come and rulers go, will our kingdom fall apart?
Who shall we now turn to when our leaders lost their heart?
Lives are lost, but at what cost? Will the grand dream fall apart?
PRE-CHORUS:
Killed by his own or by his foes
Turned the tide
300 years still no one knows
The secret remains
CHORUS:
Broken dreams so grand
Sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
Brought by soldier's hand
Back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex
VERSE:
Brought him back to Sweden, where we put him in a chest
Years of war and agony, now the king can finally rest
What will be uncovered from that cold November night?
Frederiksten, what happened there? Will it ever come to light?
PRE-CHORUS:
Killed by his own or by his foes
Turned the tide
300 years still no one knows
The secret remains
CHORUS:
Broken dreams so grand
Sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
Brought by soldier's hand
Back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex
BRIDGE:
For their honor, for their glory, for the men who fought and bled
A soldier from Sweden remembers the dead
CHORUS:
Broken dreams so grand
Sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
Brought by soldier's hand
Back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex
CHORUS:
Broken dreams so grand
Sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
Brought by soldier's hand
Country in depression
Nation in despair
One man seeking reasons everywhere
Growing hate and anger
The Fuhrer's orders were precise
Who was to be blamed and pay the price!
Wicked propaganda
Turning neighbors into foes
Soldiers of the third Reich searching homes
And then the former friends are watching
As they are rounded up one by one
Times of prosecutions has begun
Ever since it started
On Crystal night of 38
When liberty died
And truth was denied
Sent away on train on a one way trip to hell
Enter the gates Auschwitz awaits!
When freedom burns
The final solution
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn
The curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames
There was a country in depression
There was a nation in despair
One man finding reasons everywhere
Then there was raising hate and anger
The Fuhrer's orders still apply
Who was to be blamed and send to die!
[1x chorus]
Dropped from Enola, a city erased, threat of the future
displayed
A power unheard of a power unseen
Flash out of nowhere, the sky is burning
At 8:16 AM Tokyo control realized something was wrong
Reports of explosions, destruction and pain
Air raid from hell city gone in a blaze
August in black, B-29's coming back
Prepare for nuclear attack
Warned but did not heed
Prepare for nuclear attack
Extermination
Strike back
Chose not to believe
Another nuclear attack
From the southeast came the second attack, threat of
tomorrow unveiled
11:02 on the 9th of August
Over the valley, like ball lightning
The bomb detonates and the land turns to waste, barren
for decades to come
The factories burning, the steelworks destroyed
Surrender your war else you'll perish in flames
Here I am standing, darkness all around.
Thinking of past, taken my last breath, the air is cold
as ice
No one close to hear my voice
Did not leave me with a choice
Heaven will you wait for me?
Will I find a way, will I find a place
Will you let me go in peace
Will I find a way to the other side.
Sad are memories from the life I lived
Cannot go on, cannot go further
I has to end right here
For the things that I have done
All the girls I lost and won
Let me rest in peace at last
Will I find a way, will I find a place
Will you let me go in peace
Leave behind those dark days
No I ask again will you hear my cries
Then you realize why oh why
I must find a way to the other side.
Hear them whisper calling out my name
The sentences is set, the hammer has fallen
I have paid the price
Sad to realize to late death was meant to be my fate
["The Art Of War Re-Armed" bonus track]
The wise women said,
Once your heart is in battle
There is no coming back
Fight for Thor!
And before the attack
Feel your blood starts to boiling in your veins as you
charge
Hundreds fallen
As the fire inside
Is ignited by bloodshed
In berserkers from north
Could it be as was said
When the serpent be woken
Fenrir howls
Swedish Pagans, marching a shore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgaard, a viking ship sails
Never to turn back again!
When our brothers have fought
Is where we will be proven
On ground stained by blood
Standing tall!
And we know, if we fall
Our comrades awaits in Valhall
Odin's calling!
As the fire inside
Is ignited by bloodshed
In berserkers from north
Could it be as was said
When the serpent be woken
Fenrir howls
Swedish Pagans, marching a shore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgaard, a viking ship sails
Never to turn back again!
First to the battle
First to the feast
Destiny waiting,
No retreat,
Retreat!
Swedish Pagans, marching a shore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgaard, a viking ship sails
Sent from home overseas
And into the unknown
Barely landed in the jungle
Sent on first patrol
Sundown darkness falls
Dig in for the night
Ambushed in the dawn they came
The jungle's alive
I feel my fire starts to burn
The heat controlling my mind
Berserk a savage running wild
Within me the beast starts to roar
[Chorus:]
Now I'm ready to strike
A creature of the night
Into the fire
The flame of napalm strike
Sarge's down I'm in charge
Vc's everywhere
Overrun yet order airstrike
Condemned us all to burn
Napalm from above
Burning friend and foe
Chaos on the battlefield
The jungle's on fire
This place it's driving me insane
Napalm it's burning us all
This fight no man will live to tell
Within me my blood starts to boil
[Chorus]
From above the airstrike came
And it burned the world below
Napalm falling from the sky
And it leaves no man alive
I feel my fire starts to burn
The heat controlling my mind
Napalm it's burning us alive
Within me the beasts final roar
[bonus track: Judas Priest Cover]
Deadly as the viper
Peering from its coil
The poison there is coming to the boil
Ticking like a time bomb
The fuse is running short
on the verge of snapping if it's caught
And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode -- Jawbreaker
Crouching in the corner
Wound up as a spring
Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering
Muscles are all contorted
Claws dug in the dirt
Every ounce of fiber on alert
And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode -- Jawbreaker
Jawbreaker...
And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode -- Jawbreaker
Jawbreaker
Jawbreaker
Jawbreaker...
[Jawbreaker Lyrics aren't part of the Metalizer
Almost night, a crimson horizon
Painting thousand lakes red
As your army approach in the east
A hunter is switching his prey
All alone, a man with his gun
Wanders into the wild
Track you down, you can't hide
Once he's on to your trail
Into the night, a flash in the darkness
White Death is heading your way
The fear of his foes, a hero at home
Hundreds will fall by his gun
You're in the snipers sight
the first kill tonight
Time to die
You're in the bullets way
The White Death's prey
Say goodbye!
After the dawn, when morning is broken
Snow once white turn to red
Hundred soldiers, we have them on sight
A tale of a sniper is born
Snow in mouth, hiding his breath
He is steady at hand
Eye to eye, target in sight!
The moment to fire has come
Hundreds of kills, a man and his rifle
Embodied the Sisu of Finn's
Stay out of sight and cover your head
When he pulls the trigger you're dead!
You're in the snipers sight
the first kill tonight
Time to die
You're in the bullets way
The White Death's prey
Say goodbye!
[Solo]
You're in the snipers sight
the first kill tonight
Time to die
You're in the bullets way
The White Death's prey
Say goodbye!
(You're in the snipers sight)
SNIPERS SIGHT!
(You're his first kill tonight)
FIRST KILL TONIGHT!
(Say goodbye, say goodbye)
SAY GOODBYE!
(You will fall by his gun)
(You're in the snipers sight)
SNIPERS SIGHT!
(You're his first kill tonight)
FIRST KILL TONIGHT!
(Say goodbye, say goodbye)
SAY GOODBYE!
Long Live The King
Dreams are seldom shattered, by a bullet in the dark
Rulers come and rulers go, will our kingdom fall apart?
Who shall we now turn to, when our leaders lost their
heart?
Lives are lost but at what cost, will the grand dream
fall apart?
Killed by his own or by his foes, turned the tide
300 years still no one knows, the secret remains
Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long
live Carolus
Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long
live Carolus Rex
Brought him back to Sweden, where we put him in a chest
Years of war and agony, now the king can finally rest
What will be uncovered, from that cold November night
Fredrikshald, what happened there, will it ever come to
light?
For their honor
For their glory
For the men who fought and bled
The Lion From The North
A time of religion and war,
Legends tell the tale of a lion
This beast in the shape of a man,
With a dream to rule sea and land
And all those who stand in his way,
Will die, by God and victorious arms
With the righteous that follows him south,
Once more, set ashore, to war
Legends have taught, battles fought,
This lion has no fear at heart
Lion come forth, come from the north,
Come from the no-o-o-o-ort
Gustavus! Adolphus!
(Gustavus Adolphus go forth, libera, impera)
Libera et impera!
Acerbus et ingens!
(Acerbus et ingens leo, libera, impera)
Augusta per augusta
A storm over Europe unleashed,
Dawn of war, a trail of destruction
The power of Rome won't prevail,
See the catholics shiver and shake
The future of warfare unveiled,
Showed the way, that we still walk today
Der Löwe aus Mitternacht comes,
Once more, he is here, for war
Stories of old, truth unfold,
Control over Europe he holds
Freedom he'll bring,
Lion and king, lion and king
Mighty eagle rule alone
Liberator claim the throne
Lion from the northern land
Take the scepter, from its hand
Oh, oh, oh you lion from the north,
Fresh from Moscow
Over Volga came to comrades aid
City in despair
Almost crushed by the führers army
Oh it's colder than hell
Hitlers forces advancing
The sound of mortars
The music of death
A grand symphony
See your friends fall hear them
Pray to the god your country denies
Every man dies alone and when your
Time comes you will know that it's time
Stalins fortress on fire
Is this madness or hell
[Chorus:]
The sound of the mortars
The music of death
We're playing the devils symphony
Our violins are guns
Conducted from hell
Oh Stalingrad
Mratnimiat
Are you playing
Do you follow the conductors lead
No one knows you
No one cares about a single violin
Play the score of the damned
Know the devil within
Take some venom and accept
That you won't see Nazareth
The rainbow leads you home
Warrior sent to milky way
UFO shooting gamma ray
A riot of destruction
Watch the rockbitch go down, vixen spread
When the priest killed a maiden in the metal church
Armored saints and warlocks watched the slaughter
Rage of the slayer forced the pretty maids
To kiss the Queen in crimson glory
You were born a motorhead
Bike's in flames you race ahead
U do the Kansas rush
Racing with the motley crew
Annihilator chasing you
With guns and burning roses
Status quo has been reached, wasps unleashed
Facing the wind as they ride through the sky
Shadows of Mordor black horses they fly
Black shadow king, find the ring.
Search for the Halfling you lords of the dark
The hobbit with Sauron's ring he is your mark
Unholy light, in the night
Black knights of Sauron
You’re made of iron
Black shadows of Mordor
Wield one-eyed shields
Unholy ring wraiths with armour of steel
Kings of the past to no one you kneel
Hearts filled with hate, that’s your fate.
Facing the wind as they ride through the sky
Shadows of Mordor black horses they fly
A nation in despair, weakened by war, defeated
Lost their pride in Versailles
A former prisoner, with a vision or a grand delusion
Rise to power in the reich
Rebuilding an army
Make the nation proud
Disregarding the treaty
Secret plans for "lebensraum"
Start the holocaust
The reich will rise
Propaganda, the reich will rise
To last a thousand years
Burning books to spread, anti-semite propaganda
Who will stop the madman's reign?
Night of broken glass, send the Jews to Dachau death
camp
On a path to certain death
The "anschluss" completed
On the brink of war
Act brutal with no pity
Be harsh, show no remorse
Start the warmachine
In the last days of peace
Europe holding it's breath
An invasion is coming but when will it start?
Who will be first to fall? who will be last to stand?
Who will stop all this madness that has consequences no
man understand?
Born with a heart of a lion, raving to space on your own.
Into the belt of Orion, g-forces bite to the bone
Speed makes your heart burn like fire
Speed makes your heart burn with lust
Challenges taking you higher
Ride fast and do what you want
Fast as the lightning, your life is at stake
You're the one that
Speeder, Speeder
Faster and higher, exciting desire.
Speeder, Speeder
G-forces bite to the bone
Out of this world you are racing
Into an asteroid belt
Challenges of death you are facing
Strongest kick you ever felt
Faster than light, ride through the night
No way to stop this machine
Asses have turned never return
The Caroleans Prayer
Far beyond their nations' borders
There's an army on the march
For religion, kng and glory
In the name of Christ their enemies chastise
Taking orders from the heavens
Through hostile fire they will march
Unaffected by the volleys
Facing death their faith will keep their fear at bay
Into battle facing the fire, Lord thy will be done
Into battle walk in a line
See the white in their eyes, Caroleans are marching on
Put their lives in God's hand for their kingdom and
fatherland
See the white in their eyes, Caroleans are marching on
Morale and discipline unites them
A common faith to keep them strong
Always on their way to heaven
In the name of Christ their enemies chastise
Fader vår som är i himmelen helgat varde ditt namn
Tillkomme ditt rike ske din vilja
Såsom i himmelen så ock uppå jorden, ge oss bröd ock
idag
Och förlåt oss våran skuld
Fader vår, som är i himmelen
Helgat varde ditt namn
Tillkomme ditt rike
Ske din vilja,
Såsom i himmelen så ock på jorden
Giv oss idag vårt dagliga bröd
Och förlåt oss vårans skuld
Ahead, facing the lead
An army of Swedes, performing God's deeds
Showing no fear, their judgement is near
Making their sacrifice
When the king and his men
Their enemies sight, prepare for the fight
Banners held high, ready to die
[Bonus Track]
[originally by Status Quo]
Avacation in a forreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You´re in the army now
Oh, oh, you´re in the army now
Now you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You´re in the army now
Oh, oh, you´re in the army now
You be the hero of the neiborhood
Nobody know that you left for good
You´re in the army now
Oh, oh, you´re in the army now
Smilling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You´re in the army now
Oh, oh, you´re in the army now
Handgrenades flying over you head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You´re in the army now
Oh, oh, you´re in the army now
Shots ring out in the dad of night
The sergant calls (stand up and fight)
You´re in the army now
Oh, oh, you´re in the army now
You´re in the army now
Oh, oh, you´re in the army now
You´ve got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger on the trigger
But it dont seem right
You´re in the army now
Oh, oh, you´re in the army now
You´re in the army now
Oh, oh, you´re in the army now
Night is falling and you just cant see
Is this illusion or reality
You´re in the army now
Oh, oh, you´re in the army now
You´re in the army now
Oh, oh, you´re in the army now
Hide from the public eye, choose to appear when it suits
Claim you're just, killing women and children
Fight, when you choose to fight, hide in a cave when
you're hunted
Like a beast spawned from hell, utilizing fear
Chosen by god or a coward insane?
Stand up and show me your face!
Suicidal, in a trance
A religious army
Fight without a uniform and hide in the crowd
Call it holy, call it just
Authorized by heaven
Leave your wounded as they die, and call it gods will
Run when its time to pay, fear consequence of your action
Reappear, when you're almost forgotten
Dream of a world in peace, yet you cause pain and
destruction
Kill your own, a response of your actions
Captured in all you lies, fear is in your eyes
Creature who's gone insane, your war is in vain
Trapped in a cage of stone, we'll destroy your home
While Europe speak of peace, all other battles cease
There's a man who aims for more than he can reach
Blood,
All over
Prague
On fire
Burn
All of Bohemia set ablaze
Stand on their own
The road to the city has been blocked
Denied
(They're denied)
To enter the gates
Though they tried
(Though they tried)
When Prague was called to arms
They fought them on the bridge
Their freedom was at stake
Stand and fight, the city is burning
Königsmarck lost, stopped him at Karluv Most.
Stained by blood, their brothers die side by side
Did what they could
Died where they stood
Their city has been besieged, all hell on Prague unleashed
As the cannons crush the walls, the city shakes
Fear
Is spreading
Hate
Increasing
Death
And pain is all that Sweden brought
Rise and strike back
The walls of the city has been breached
Reclaimed
(They're reclaimed)
On that very night
Unsustained
(Unsustained)
They did it on their own
They fought them on the bridge
Their freedom was at stake
Unconquered city on Vlatvas shore
Start of the conflict and end of the war
Unconquered city on Vlatvas shore
It is protected by it's people
And thirty years ago the war begun
The dawn of time breaks
See the sun rise to the sky
The wheel of time begins to turn
But then we heard it
A divine voice out of nowhere
Spoke to our hearts and showed the way
Almighty lord we have come to your hall
Do glatem live, creator of all
Open your heart and you will find a way
Paradise calling and enter you may
Falling down
Now your soul returns to paradise
7734
The wheel kept turning, ages came
Time passed us by
We lived in perfect harmony
But then it happened
Our ranks decreased rapidly
But now its time for our return
Once we were numerous
But that's long ago
We are no longer 7734
We last 2united and 2 became 1
111 perished in flames
Falling down
Now your soul returns to paradise
7734
Almighty lord we have come to your hall
Do glatem live, creator of all
Open your heart and you will find a way
Paradise calling and enter you may
Falling down
Now your soul returns to paradise
7734
Falling down
Now your soul returns to paradise
I stand alone
And gaze upon the battlefield
Wasteland
Is all that's left after the fight
And I'm searching a new way to defeat my enemy
Bloodshed
I've seen enough of death and pain
[Pre-chorus 1:]
I will run - they will hunt me in vain
I will hide - they'll be searching
I'll regroup - feign retreat they'll pursue
Coup de grâce I will win but never fight [mercy
killing]
That's the Art of War!
Breaking the will to fight among the enemy
Force them to hunt me
They will play my game
And play by my rules
I will be close but still untouchable
No more will I see suffering and pain
They will find me no more
I'll be gone
I will have them surrounded
They will yield without fight overrun
Overrun
Coup de grâce
I will win but never fight
That's the Art of War
Broken and lost
Tired of war
They'll surrender to me
Caught in my trap
There's no way out
Fail never again
Sent to kill, to watch no man's land
Snipers are moving unseen
Fight for land, to lose it again
Shrapnel is filling the air
Hell on earth, the trenches mean death, better keep
your head down low
Charge their lines, the ultimate test it's a
synchronized sacrifice
Get the wounded after dark
Left alone in no man's land
Maddening chaos at the front
Dream of heaven
Angels are calling your name
Shells and guns, a rifle and scope
Bullets are wearing your name
Losing track of time and of space
Midnight at sanity's edge
Losing friends to artillery shells, at the break of
dawn
Break their will, as yours has been broken, they're
here alone, dream of home
Charge at dawn to gain a yard
Scout at night to guard their lines
Leave your life in fortunes hand
When the bullet hits it's mark
Know your time in hell has been served
Attero!
Dominatus!
Berlin is burning
Denique!
Interimo!
The reich has fallen
We stand at the gates of Berlin
With two and a half million men
With six thousand tanks in our ranks
Use them as battering rams
Artillery leading our way
A million grenades has been launched
The nazis must pay for their crimes
The wings of the eagle has been broken
Marshall Zhukov's orders:
Serve me Berlin on a plate!
Disregard the losses
The city is ours to take
The price of a war must be payed
Millions of lives has been lost
The price must be paid by the men
That started the war in the 30's
The spring of the year 45'
The year when the nazis will fall
We're inside the gates of Berlin
The beak of the eagle is broken
Comrade Stalins orders:
Serve me it's head on a plate
Disregard the losses
The eagle's land is ours to take
March!
Fight!
Die!
In Berlin!
March!
Fight!
Conquer!
A cry for help, a distant whisper
A foreign nation calling our name
Sent to hell, to reach for heaven
To serve in dark, as light in the black
Sent into battle to aid strangers in need
Gain independence, our forces will lead
Final solution when all others have failed
Liberation is coming our path has been laid
We remember the fields, where our tanks held the line
We remember our brothers in arms
When the war, has been won
And our march home begins
What awaits has not yet been revealed
What was won? what was lost?
Will our deeds be remembered?
Are they written on stone or in sand?
Marching ashore, our target awaits
Facing resistance, forces driven by hate
Protecting civilians, while fired upon
Rules of engagement, our restrictions are gone
We remember the sea, where our ships broke the waves
We remember our brothers in arms
Leaving home, set to sea
Was this really meant to be?
See the shore of our home fade away
Facing blood, facing pain
Have our brothers died in vain?
In the skies above the isle
Aces In Exile prevail!
From near and far they arrived join the force
Ready to serve the Allied command
Sent in the training, though they already earned their
wings
They were ready to fly they were fit for the fight
Once in the air the battle began
They had proven their worth now they fight for revenge
Fighter pilots in exile fly for foreign land
Let the story be heard tell of 303
Fighter pilots of Poland in the battle of Britain
Guarding the skies of the isle
Even at night shadows cover the ground
Fighting goes on from dusk till dawn
We fall on the Reich with the claws of the eagle!
They were Ready to fight, they were ready to die
Up in the air, the battle goes on
They had proven their worth now they have their revenge
Fighter pilots in exile fly for foreign land
Tell the story again to the 310
Men of Czechoslovakia in the battle of Britain
Guarding the skies of the isle
Over the battlefield brave man long way from home
You are the chosen ones sent to the sky to die
Over the battlefield brave man long way from home
You are the chosen ones sent to the sky to die
Oh fly - it echoes in history
Turning the tides in the heavens above
Fighter pilots in exile fly for foreign land
When the battle's been won trouble 401
Fighter pilots of Canada in the battle of Britain
Guarding the skies of the isle
On wings of history they turn from home
To live eternally sky bound they roam
In all of history, never before
Was more owed to so few
No use to pray, there’s no one listening
I will die anyway.
Some say I’ve killed, some call me Satan
Now my blood must be spilled.
I’m sentenced for crimes I did not commit
I’ll pay with my blood, is this really it?
Creations of God? No way!
Burn your crosses, make way for science
Christ has only caused death and violence
Burn your crosses and make way for yourself
Put faith in mother earth.
Don’t call his name, don’t trust in others
Bishops fighting for fame.
Torture in vain. I won’t surrender
Purified by pain.
Mankind’s great mistake was to create God
Creation of man. Excuse to spill blood.
Creations of God? No way!
No use to pray, there’s no one listening
I will die anyway.
Leaving this place the end is near now
Dying ain’t no disgrace.
My last night alive has come to an end
Death once I feared, but now it’s my friend.
Creation of God? No way!
Burned my crosses, make way for science
Christ will only cause death and violence
Burned my crosses and made way for myself
In mother earth I trust.
Min tid nalkas, denna tid går mot sitt slut. Hela Stockholm ser mig krönas,

Född att härska, leda mina män i strid. Ingen man kan mig befalla! Jag

Hör min order, ifrågasätt mig ej!
Vet att sådan är min vilja, och därmed ska det ske.
Sida vid sida uti strid, med karoliner går jag i krig, knä om knä!

Hela Europa ska böja sig för min armé
Vad jag vill skall bli mitt och jag dräper dig

I have a phobia
A fear of the dark
Afraid to shoot strangers
The animal talks
Guns scare me shitless
But love gun's my friend
The sentinel's coming
But is this the end?
Riding on this crazy train
I'm going paranoid
Watch me lose my mind
And break the law (breaking the law, breaking the law)
I'm a metal machine
It's close to midnight and
He's barking at the moon
I'm a metal machine
The rainbow in the dark is shining
I'm only metal machine
It's close to midnight and
He's barking at the moon
I'm a metal machine
The kings of metal ride the sky
Is this st. anger
The ultimate sin
Or have I really
A black knight within?
The gates of Babylon
Are open and wide
Shout at the devil
There's nowhere to hide
Fighting for the world to keep
The wild child in it's cage
Broke my metal heart
Against the wall (against the wall)
I'm a metal machine
It's close to midnight and
He's barking at the moon
I'm only metal machine
The rainbow in the dark is shining
I'm a metal machine
It's close to midnight and
He's barking at the moon
Come touch my metal machine
The kings of metal ride the sky
[Solo]
Come touch my metal machine
It's close to midnight and
He's barking at the moon
I'm a metal machine
The rainbow in the dark is shining
Come touch metal machine
It's close to midnight and
He's barking at the moon
I’m a metal machine
The kings of metal ride the sky
I know my metal machine
It's close to midnight and
He's barking at the moon
I'm a metal machine
The rainbow in the dark is shining
Come touch my metal machine
No we will never fall
We're masters of the world
Come suck my metal machine
No we will never fall
[bonus track]
The priesthood is trembling
the five knights of light has betrayed mankind
Now known as the dark ones
we strike down on earth with powers from hell
We ride on the wind we ride through the sky
like unholy birds of war we fly
we bring agony and insanity
Once blessed by the light now serving the night
and soon cursed by every man on earth
We follow our lust, in no god we trust
Come join us
Leave this world behind and you will find satisfaction
fight on our side you cannot hide from us forever more
Once greeted as heroes
now treated as foes wherever we go
Recruiting more warriors
the hordes of undead march on our command
Now mankind will pay from this very day
every man on earth will curse his birth
We spread fear and pain resistance in vain
We march in the dark your kind is our mark
avoid the daylight in dark we fight
We’re a small crowd left to rotten, there’s not many hard
souls left
As the pop is growing stronger, will metal fade away
Will we be broken, will we go down?
No! We’ll never fall we’re the masters of the world
Get up let’s break those chains now and party all night
long
No! We’ll never fall we’re the masters of the world
Get up let’s break those chains now and party all night
long
As I’m tweaking with my radio, there’s disco everywhere
When I turn on my big TV, is hip hop what I want to see?
Sent to the islands to secure what is ours
Marching ashore in the cover of night
Hide until dawn and attack in the twilight
Shake them awake with the thunder of guns
Orders from the iron maiden, get the islands back
Failure will not be accepted, call for artillery strike,
launch attack
We are Back in control, force them to surrender
Take what is ours, restore law and order
Back in control, push them further out to sea
Falklands in our hands, back under British reign
Push them back further and out from the islands
Into our fleet that will stop their retreat
Mark their positions and call in the airforce
Dropped down to a world of ice
A platoe of frozen lakes
A Nazi place of doom in their sights
Training camps on Scottish Heights
To commando saboteurs
A mission of their lives lies ahead
[Chorus:]
Called in to serve
And they knew what to do
They were the heroes of the cold
Warrior soul, they signed a book of history
They played a leading role to win the 2nd war
Allied time was running short
They would race against the bomb
And hours turned to days, time passed on
As the nature Test their strength
They would fight through night and day
To live amongst the wild, stay alive
Called in to serve
And they knew what to do
They were the heroes of the cold
Warrior soul, they signed a book of history
They played a leading role to win the 2nd war
Heroes of the telemark
Carry viking blood in veins
Warriors of the northern land
They live forever more [x2]
Called in to serve
And they knew what to do
They were the heroes of the cold
Warrior soul!
Warrior soul, they signed a book of history
In a dream I saw the future,
In a dream I saw the world,
There were madmans lies,
Devils point of view,
In a world of hate and anger,
In a world of fear and pain,
There is no time for pride,
No time to stand aside.
Call me a dreamer,
Call me insane,
I'll survive the storm,
I'll take the pain.
Out of the storm,
Come the children of the night,
Out of the storm,
A black masquerade,
Dance with the dead,
To the music of grief,
Out of the storm,
A nightchild appears.
In the silence of the moonlight,
We can hear the nightchilds cry,
Like a lonely wolf, (not 100% sure)
Out into the sky.
With a madman nor a stranger,
Whose words you just can't tell,
The nightchilds way,
The way of no return,
Call me a dreamer,
Call me insane,
I'll survive the storm,
I'll take the pain.
Out of the storm,
Come the children of the night,
Out of the storm,
A black masquerade,
Dance with the dead,
To the music of grief,
Out of the storm,
A nightchild appears.
When the light fades away,
And the night puts me asleep,
Will I ever wake up again,
Will I stay in this twilight forever?
Out of the storm,
Come the children of the night,
Out of the storm,
A black masquerade,
Dance with the dead,
To the music of grief,
Out of the storm,
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone
ALONE! [2x]
Sent from the skies jumped into the unknown
The march to Berlin has begun
Spearhead the charge surrounded by foes
Eagles are leading the way
France is still under enemy rule
Push, axis retreat
Thrown towards Arnhem a bitter defeat
They're stretched out just one bridge too far
Turn of the tide, it's breaking away
Losing momentum, retreat
Go to Bastogne, the crossroads must hold
Stand, alone in the cold
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone
ALONE! [2x]
Dig your own foxholes or dig your own Grave
The storm is about to begin
The siege has begun, there's nowhere to run
Panzerkampfwagen emerge
Tanks and mortars are shaking the ground
Prey of man and machine
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone
Chill of the winter bite to the bone and Christmas is
drawing near
Soldiers are freezing, the death toll increasing
They're dying in their holes
There's no surrender there's no retreat, the Wehrmacht
is drawing near
There's no reinforcements they're fighting all alone
Sent from the skies ended up in Bastogne
As easy, as hard as they get
Nazi command request and demand
Offer surrender – declined
Nuts! The generals word echo clear
Nuts! The Nazi's shall hear
[2x]
Crack of the lightning splitting the ground
Thunder is sounding, artillery pounding
Wrath of the Nazi's cast on Bastogne
Crack in the distance, a flash in the sky
It’s getting dark, clouds gather power
You heard it coming from over the hill
It’s time to run, time to seek cover.
Now there is no hideaway
And you have no chance
Thor and his hammer are riding his chariots of storm
Breaking the silence with powerful roars
Wind gaining strength, screaming tornado
First wave is over, don’t hold back your breath
It sure coming back, second attack
Now there is no hideaway
And you have no chance
The sky is on fire the heavens are burning in flames
THUNDER
THUNDER
STRIKING
THUNDER
A cold rain is falling, a lightning strikes down
Distance is dark, horizon is frightening
Massive strong lightning’s are shaking the ground
Thor is upset, out slaying giants
Now there is no hideaway
And you have no chance
[Bonus Track]

Getadelt wird wer Schmerzen kennt
vom Feuer das die Haut verbrennt
Ich werfe ein Licht
in mein Gesicht
Mein heisser Schrei
Feuer frei!
Bang bang
Bang bang
Geadelt ist wer Schmerzen kennt
vom Feuer das in Lust verbrennt
ein Funkenstoß
in ihren Schoß
ein heißer Schrei
Feuer frei!
Bang bang
Bang bang
Bang bang
Bang bang
Feuer frei!
Bang bang
Bang bang
Bang bang
Bang bang
Feuer frei!
Gefährlich ist wer Schmerzen kennt
vom Feuer das den Geist verbrennt
bang bang
gefährlich das gebrannte Kind
mit Feuer das vom Leben trennt
ein heisser Schrei
bang bang
Feuer frei!
Dein Glück
ist nicht mein Glück
ist mein Unglück
Dein Glück
ist nicht mein Glück
ist mein Unglück
Bang bang
Bang bang
Feuer frei!
Bang bang
Bang bang
Feuer frei!
Bang bang
Bang bang
Feuer frei!

Follow the piper follow the drum
Follow the footsteps our comrades begun
'Till the battle's, the battle's won
Follow the sabre follow the gun
For King and for Country we stand here as one
'Till the battle's done, battle's done We are brothers in arms
We fight for the cause
Together we stand
Divided we'd fall
On the killing ground
Killing ground Cannons are roaring from left and to right
Into the carnage before us we fight
'Till the day is won, day is won
Thousands have fallen around us they lie
Onwards together we fight or we'd die
'Till the day is done, day is done
Yeah We are brothers in arms
We march for the cause
Together we stand
Divided we'd fall
On the killing ground
Killing ground Charge into battle victory we cry
Onto the lances our sabres held high
Hear our battle cry, battle cry
The field is now silent conflict is done
Marching to glory through rivers of blood
To our battle cry, battle cry We are brothers in arms
We die for the cause
Together we stand
Divided we'd fall
We are brothers in arms
We die for the cause
Together we stand
Divided we'd fall
On the killing ground We are brothers in arms
We fight for the cause
Together we stand
Divided we'd fall
We are brothers in arms
We die for the cause
Together we stand
Divided we'd fall We are brothers in arms
We march for the cause
Together we stand
Baptised in fire, 40 to 1
So silent before the storm, awaiting command
A few has been chosen to stand, as one outnumbered by far
The orders from high command - fight back, hold your ground!
In early September it came, a war unknown to the world
No army may enter that land
That is protected by Polish hand!
Unless you are forty to one
Your force will soon be undone, undone
Baptised in fire forty to one
Spirit of Spartans - death and glory
Soldiers of Poland second to none
Wrath of the Wehrmacht brought to a halt
The 8th of September it starts, the rage of the Reich
A barrage of mortars and guns, stand fast, the bunkers will hold
The captain has pledged his life, I'll face my fate here
The sound of artillery strike, so fierce the thunder of guns
So come bring on all that you've got
Come hell, come high water, NEVER STOP!
Unless you are forty to one
Your lives will soon be undone... UNDONE!
Baptised in fire forty to one
Spirit of Spartans - death and glory
Soldiers of Poland second to none
Wrath of the Wehrmacht brought to a halt
Always remember, a fallen soldier!
Always remember, fathers and sons at war!
Always remember, a fallen soldier!
Always remember, fathers and sons at war!
Always remember, a fallen soldier!
Always remember, buried in history...
No army may enter that land
That is protected by Polish hand!
Unless you are forty to one
Your force will soon be undone, undone
Baptised in fire forty to one
Spirit of Spartans - death and glory
Soldiers of Poland second to none
Wrath of the Wehrmacht brought to a halt
Hear the rolling sound of thunder
As the battle rages on
We will tear this world us under
Feel our power
Through a darkened sky we riding
Pierce the night with bolts of light
We will find you although you are hiding
Under cover
We will break through with
Thunder and fire
Realising an unholy
Hellborn, desire
We are out of control
To conquer this world
From a world you broken into
From a world unknown to man
We release our wrath upon you
Holy bloodshed
Breaking chains of your religion
Worship none or be destroyed
You cannot defeat our legion
Bleed the world red
We will break through with
Thunder and fire
Realising an unholy
Hellborn, desire
We are out of control
To conquer this world
Lightning bolts of anger
Raging in your world
We uphold the darkness
Rulers of the moonlight
As you think its over
Calm has settled in
Thundergods returning
Back to rule this planet again
Future role of generations
Let us rage into this world
They'll be trusting our patience
Run for cover
Hear the rolling sound of thunder
As the battle rages on
We will tear this world us under
Hear them whisper voices from the other side
Hear them calling
Former foes, now friends, are resting side by side
They will never leave our hearts or fade away
Live forever
They were far too young to die in such a way
How many wasted lives? How many dreams did fade away?
Broken promises they won't be coming home
Oh mothers wipe your tears your sons will rest a million years
Found their peace at last as foe turn to friend and forgive
And they knew they'd die
Gallipoli
Left their letters in the sand
Such waste of life
Gallipoli
Dreams of freedom turn to dust
Hell is waiting
Where the ocean meets the sand
Cliffs of burden
where the soldiers rushed into a certain death
At the shoreline blood of heroes stains the land
Light a candle
one for each of them who fought and died in vain
There is no enemy there is no victory
Only boys who lost their lives in the sand
Young men were sacrificed the names are carved in stone and kept alive
And forever we will honour the memory of them
And they knew they'd die
Gallipoli
Left their letters in the sand
Such waste of life
Gallipoli
Dreams of freedom turn to dust
How many wasted lives? How many dreams did fade away?
Broken promises they won't be coming home
Oh mothers wipe your tears your sons will rest a million years
Found their peace at last as foe turn to friend and forgive
And they knew they'd die
Gallipoli
Left their letters in the sand
Such waste of life
Gallipoli
Dreams of freedom turn to dust
Time has worn the soldiers down
Marched for many miles
In the eastern lands so cursed
Time to make a stand
Tsar has scorched his nation's land
Nothing to be found
Hunger grasp the soliders heart
20 000 men strong
Listen, excuse for a king
Trust me, this fight you can't win
Poltava
Rode to certain death and pain
Poltava
Swedish soldiers met their bane
Poltava
Sacrificed their lives in vain
Poltava
In the shade of morning mist
Advancing on their foe
Bullets break the silent air
Wasted battleplan
Swedish forces stand alone
King has left command
Rule is left to lesser men
Waiting for their chance
Listen, obey my command
Hear me, or die by my hand
Russian armies blocked their way
20 000 lost that day
They bled the ground
Peace they found
There's no sign of victory
King Carolus had to flee
And leave the land
Leave command
Madness, curse your feeble horde
Two ways to view the world
So similar at times
Two ways to rule the world
To justify their crimes
By kings and queens
Young men are sent
To die in war
Their propaganda speaks
Those words been heard before
Two ways to view the world
Brought Europe down in flames
Two ways to rule
Has man gone insane
A few will remain
Who'll find a way
To live one more day
Through decades of war
It spreads like disease
There's no sign of peace
Religion and greed
Cause millions to bleed
Three decades of war
From dawn to dawn
They're fighting,
Die where they stand
The fog of war lies thick
When armies scorch the land
When all of Europe is burning,
What can be done
They've been to war a decade,
Two more to come
Long way from home
Dopas och do i strid
Lifetime at war
Has man gone insane
A few will remain
Who'll find a way
To live one more day
Through decades of war
It spreads like disease
There's no sign of peace
Religion and greed
Cause millions to bleed
Three decades of war
When they face death
They're all alike
No right or wrong
Rich or poor
No matter who they served before
Good or bad
They're all the same
Rest side by side now
Has man gone insane
A few will remain
Who'll find a way
To live one more day
Through decades of war
It spreads like disease
There's no sign of peace
Religion and greed
Cause millions to bleed
Min tid nalkas, denna tid går mot sitt slut. Hela Stockholm ser mig krönas,
kanoner skjut salut.
Ingen ed lagd, ingen ed jag svär! Kronan kommer ej från kyrkan, den kom
direkt från Gud.
Jag visar min styrka genom strid. Född att regera, att föra krig. Knä om
knä!
Min tid är här
Över Norden jag härskar, med det arv som jag gavs
Gång på gång
Sjung Carolus sång
Krigets konst jag behärskar
Låt mitt namn sprida skräck
Gång på gång
Sjung Carolus sång
Än en gång, sjung Carolus sång
Född att härska, leda mina män i strid. Ingen man kan mig befalla! Jag
lyder under Gud.
Hör min order, ifrågasätt mig ej!
Vet att sådan är min vilja, och därmed ska det ske.
Sida vid sida uti strid, med karoliner går jag i krig, knä om knä!
Min tid är här
Över Norden jag härskar, med det arv som jag gavs
Gång på gång
Sjung Carolus sång
Krigets konst jag behärskar
Låt mitt namn sprida skräck
Gång på gång
Sjung Carolus sång
Än en gång, sjung Carolus sång
Allt jag ser, hela vilden skall stoppa mig
Hela Europa ska böja sig för min armé
Vad jag vill skall bli mitt och jag dräper dig
Min vilja ske!
Bevisa min styrka genom strid. Född att regera, att föra krig. Knä om knä!
Min vilja ske!
Över Norden jag härskar, med det arv som jag gavs.
Gång på gång
Sjung Carolus sång
Än en gång.
Krigets konst jag behärskar
Låt mitt namn sprida skräck
Gång på gång
Sjung Carolus sång
A time of religion and war,
Legends tell the tale of a lion
This beast in the shape of a man,
With a dream to rule sea and land
And all those who stand in his way,
Will die, by God and victorious arms
With the righteous that follows him south,
Once more, set ashore, to war
Legends have taught, battles fought,
This lion has no fear at heart
Lion come forth, come from the north,
Come from the north
Gustavus! Adolphus!
(Gustavus Adolphus go forth, libera, impera)
Libera et impera!
Acerbus et ingens!
(Acerbus et ingens leo, libera, impera)
Augusta per augusta
A storm over Europe unleashed,
Dawn of war, a trail of destruction
The power of Rome won't prevail,
See the catholics shiver and shake
The future of warfare unveiled,
Showed the way, that we still walk today
Der Löwe aus Mitternacht comes,
Once more, he is here, for war
Stories of old, truth unfold,
Control over Europe he holds
Freedom he'll bring,
Lion and king, lion and king
Gustavus! Adolphus!
(Gustavus Adolphus go forth, libera, impera)
Libera et impera!
Acerbus et ingens!
(Acerbus et ingens leo, libera, impera)
Augusta per augusta
Mighty eagle rule alone
Liberator claim the throne
Lion from the northern land
Take the scepter, from its hand
Oh, oh, oh you lion from the north,
Ooooooooh you lion from the north
Legends have taught, battles fought,
This lion has no fear at heart
Lion come forth, come from the north,
Come from the north
Gustavus! Adolphus!
(Gustavus Adolphus go forth, libera, impera)
Libera et impera!
Acerbus et ingens!
(Acerbus et ingens leo, libera, impera)
Fast as the wind, the invasion has begun
Shaking the ground with the force of thousand guns
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land
Tanks leading the way, leading the way
Charging the lines with the force of a furious storm
Fast as the lighting phantoms swarm
200 miles at nightfall, taken within a day
Thus earning their name, earning the fame
They are the panzer elite, born to compete, never retreat (ghost division)
Leaving or dead, always ahead, fed by your dread
Always ahead, as the blitzkrieg rages on
Breaking morale the with the sound of blazing guns
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land
Tanks leading the way, leading the way
Leaving a trail of destruction to a foreign land
(Waging war with conviction)
Massive assault made to serve the Nazi plan
(Wehrmacht's pride, ghost division)
Communication's broken, phantom's are far away
Thus earning their name, earning the fame
They are the panzer elite, born to compete, never retreat (ghost division)
Leaving or dead, always ahead, fed by your dread
Pushing the frontline forth with a tremendous force
(Far ahead, breaks resistance)
Reaching the way for panzer corps
(Shows no fear, self-subsistent)
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land
Thus earning the name, claiming the fame
They are the panzer elite, born to compete, never retreat (ghost division)
Leaving or dead, always ahead, fed by your dread
Panzer elite, born to compete, never retreat (ghost division)
Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria
We've been training for years
Now we're ready to strike
As the great operation begins
We're the first wave on the shore
We're the first ones to fall
Yet soldiers have fallen before
In the dawn they will pay
With their lives as the price
History's written today
In this burning inferno
Know that nothing remains
As our forces advance on the beach
Aiming for heaven though serving in hell
Victory is ours their forces will fall
Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria
On the 6th of June
On the shores of western Europe 1944
D-day upon us
We've been here before
Used to this kind of war
Crossfire grind through the sand
Our orders were easy
It's kill or be killed
Blood on both sides will be spilled
In the dawn they will pay
With their lives as the price
History's written today
Now that we are at war
With the axis again
This time we know what will come
6th of June 1944
Allies are turning the war
Normandy state of anarchy
Budet kom på en kall vinternatt
Carolus finns ej mer
Hemåt fränder
Över fjäll, genom bitande köld går marschen
De går med sänkta huvuden
Återvänder
Död, vänter Armfeldt och män
Död, kungens män, vänder hemåt igen
Fränder, bröder, vår stormaktstid är över
Vårt rike blöder, fanan står i brand
Aldrig, aldrig, aldrig återvända
Svea stormaktstid till ända
Ambition och en strikt religion
Drev svensken uti krig
Hårda tider
För sitt land, tog han vapen i hand
Ett liv för rikets väl
Karoliner
Krig, givit allt vi förmår
Krig, dödens år, satt sitt spår, vi består
De togs förgivet
Bragda om livet
Vem lät det hända
The sky is on fire burning black gold
Eyes of the west turn to east
Driven by greed and an urge to destroy
Merciless killing your own
Slave to the power a slave to the gold
Ruthlessly ruling the east
Your reing of terror must come to an end
Fighting your unholy war
[Pre-chorus:]
Now you will pay we'll charge you our way
Sooner or later we'll get you
Don't try to hide in your holes underground
Just like an insect we'll smoke you right out
[Chorus:]
Night time primetime
Ancient legacy of crime
One day we will make you pay for
Night time primetime
Law and order pays the fine
Genocide you cannot justify
Chaos in east disorder in west
Desert storm is a go
Fighters are launched from the carriers at sea
Infantry coming your way
Armoured brigades engaging their lines
Regain control of black gold
Your reign of terror will come to an end
Forcing you out of control
Countdown to death we're coming for you
Making our way through the desert
Soon you will pay for the pain that you caused
Captured or dead you will cause no more
Harm
[Chorus]
Feet after feet mile after mile
Allies regaining control
Your cities in ruins a people in need
Still you go on as before
Feet after feet mile after mile
Allies returning the land
Hide underground as the coward you are
One day we're coming for you
[Pre-chorus]
When we signed up for the army
To a rangers company
Armed with M16's
Straight into the war
Then we served under the banner
Clad in US stars an stripes
And on moonless nights
We marched for endless miles
[Chorus:]
Once we were soldiers
Once we were young
We have found our peace
We've seen the end
Fallen in war
We belong to history
Fallen in war
Sleep 6 feet below
Hearts of the brave
Cannot bring me back to life
Fallen in war
Still brothers in arms
We have fought in distant conflict
And for all to many years
Seen our friends go down
Wounded dead or lost
Know that peace comes at a high price
It may take a thousand lives
And a deep belief
Sacrifice of men
[Chorus]
Shining heart beats no more
Buried deep deep in cold earth
Shallow grave in my motherland
Here I stay in darkness forever
Fallen in war
We belong to history
Fallen in war
Sleep 6 feet below
Hearts of the brave
Cannot bring me back to life
Fallen in war
Hear the sound of a machinegun
Hear it echo in the night
Mortals firing rains the scene
Scars the fields
that once were green
It's a stalemate at the frontline
where the soldiers rest in mud
roads and houses
all is gone
there is no glory to be won
know that many men will suffer
know that many men will die
half a million lives at stake
Ask the fields of Passchendaele
And as the night falls the general calls
and the battle carries on and on
How long?
What is the purpose of it all
What's the price of a mile?
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men's lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck in the trench with no way out
Thousands of machineguns
Kept on firing through the night
Mortars blazed and wrecked the scene
Guns in the fields that once were green
Still a deadlock at the frontline
Where the soldiers die in mud
roads and houses since long gone
still no glory has been won
know that many men has suffered
know that many men has died
Six miles of ground has been won
Half a million men are gone
And as the men crawled the general called
And the killing carried on and on
How long?
What's the purpose of it all?
What's the price of a mile?
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men's lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck in the trench with no way out
Young men are dying
They pay the price
Oh how they suffer
So tell me what's the price of a mile
That's the price of a mile.
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men's lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Send them over the waves
Our sentinels
They report in the news
Position of our foes
This battlefield's been chosen, tactically in advance
Time to alert our fighters
We're soon in range
Midway
We'll meet at Midway
Naval War
Calling all men to deck
Got to be airborne
Head out into the sun
Decending on our foes
This is the crucial moment, in the heat of the war
To fly and hit our targets
Down in the waves
Midway
Display their might, ordering carriers, admirals at war
We'll meet at Midway
To win the fight, tactics are crucial, naval war
Far from shore, a pacific war
bombs are falling from the skies
Its a bombrun day, it the naval way
Into the motherland
The German army march
In the Soviet Union summer 1943
Tanks line up in thousands as far the eye can see
Ready for the onslaught
Ready for the fight
Waiting for the axis to march into a trap
Mines are placed in darkness
In the cover of the night
Waiting to be triggered
When the time is right
Imminent invasion, imminent attack
Once the battle started
There's no turning back
The end of the third Reich draws near
It's time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
It's time to attack!
[Chorus:]
Into the motherland the German army march
Comrades stand side by side to stop the Nazi charge
Panzers on Russian soil a thunder in the east
One million men at war
Soviet wrath unleashed!
Fields of Prokhorovka
Where the heat of battle burned
Suffered heavy losses
And the tide of war was turned
Driving back the Germans
Fighting on four fronts
Hunt them out of Russia
Out of Soviet land
Reinforce the front line
Force the axis to retreat
Send in all the reserves
Securing their defeat
Soldiers of the Union
Broke the citadel
Ruins of an army
Axis rest in hell
The end of the third Reich draws near
Its time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
Its time to attack
[Chorus]
Onward comrads! Onwards for the Soviet Union! Charge!
Ow mother Russia!
Union of lands
Will of the people
Strong in command
Ow mother Russia!
Union of lands
Once more victorious the red army stands!
The end of the third Reich is here
Its time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
Its time to attack!
Under this sun no shadows will fall
Piercing our eyes as we charge
An armoured battalion on course to the east
Closing the end of it's march
This time we're here to finish a job
Started a decade ago
Driving the animals out of their holes
To bury them 6 feet below
Armoured tanks of mass destruction
Killers in the east
Rats who dares to stand before us
Feel our guns go live
[Chorus:]
Death in the shape of a panzer battalion
Insect of terror don't run face your fate like a
Man cannot outrun our panzer battalion
Thousands of tons of armour and guns
Making it's way through the sand
Our panzer battalion is back for revenge
Artillery sweeping the land
First strike is ours no mercy is shown
There's rivers of blood in our track
Breaking their waves of defence with our tanks
Infantry watching our back
Blow their SAM sites clear for air strike
Ready for the storm
Minefields swept there's no surrender
Feel our napalm burn
[Chorus x2]
Under this sun no shadows will fall
Piercing our eyes as we charge
An armoured battalion on course to the east
Has reached the end of it's march
Armoured tanks of mass destruction
Killers in the east
Rats who dares to stand before us
Feel our guns go live
Panzer battalion
Insect of terror don't run face your fate like a man
It's under crimson skies hell's horizon
Our trap will spring
Unaware of our presence they'll be marching
Straight to their doom
We are prepared for war ready to fire
Stand by to charge
Counting down as they march into destruction
Their time has come
They'll never know we give no warning
We set a trap they took the bait
Leading them straight into hell
They will not live to tell the tale
We'll strike at dusk and fight 'til dawn
Tonight our foe is bound to fail
Our time is now all ready at arms
Upon our chosen ground dead men marching
No sign of hope
Victory will be ours before the dawn breaks
Tonight we charge
Chaos and disorder sound of the attack
Charging down the mountain frontal assault
Guns light up the darkness mortars rip the ground
Like a force of nature shaking the field
They'll never know we give no warning
We set a trap they took the bait
Cut off retreat
Released
Unleashed
The beast within berserker rage is
Released
Unleashed
A storm a force unbreakable warmachine
Victims of the ambush
Stains the ground with blood
Fields of execution murderous plan
Soldiers turn to madmen in the dead of night
[Bonus Track]
[feat. Peter Tägtgren]
There comes Fenris' twin
His jaws are open wide
The serpent rises from the waves
Jormungandr twists and turns
Mighty in his wrath
The eyes are full of primal hate
Thor! Odin's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Your destiny awaits
Thor! Hlödyn's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Ragnarök awaits
Vingtor rise to face
The snake with hammer high
At the edge of the world
Bolts of lightning fills the air
as Mjölnir does it's work
the dreadfull serpent roars in pain
Thor! Odin's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Your destiny awaits
Thor! Hlödyn's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Ragnarök awaits
Mighty Thor grips the snake
Firmly by its tongue
Lifts his hammer high to strike
Soon his work is done
Vingtor sends the giant snake
Bleeding to the depth
Twilight of the thundergod
Ragnarök awaits
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god
Thor! Odin's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Your destiny awaits
Thor! Hlödyn's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
We live for the magic in the sound, distorted guitars are
Breaking ground
The drum pounding faster than my heart, the vocals are
screaming extreme art
The passion for metal drives us forth, the best heavy
metal
comes from north
The powerful tunes, spectacular shows, the audience
screams in ecstasy
Metal, Metal
Back with the vengeance
Metal, Metal
All that I need is heavy metal
Metal
Screaming together
Metal, Metal
Metal is all that I need
While hell bends for leather we stand strong, a rocker
can party all night long
the school couldn’t teach us rock’ n roll, the school
couldn’t help us reach our goal
We live for the magic in the sound, distorted guitars are
Breaking ground
The powerful tunes, spectacular shows, the audience
You're in for surprise, you're in for a shock
In London town streets when there's darkness and fog
I'm going down, all the way down
I'm on the highway to hell from here
Blessed by the night, holy and bright
Called by the toll of the bell
Oh Mr. Crowley did you talk to the dead
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Abandoned land come on in child take my hand
Hear a rising force
Watch the damned they're gonna break their chains
Through the night you can hear them
Twisting you mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me you can't see a thing
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
Blood on your face you big disgrace
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you can see
Appears like a wonder without any move
Gonna get close, closer to you
Abandoned land come on in child take my hand
Hear a rising force
Watch the damned they're gonna break their chains
Through the night you
ALL ABOARD, Hahahahaha
Abandoned land come on in child take my hand
Hear a rising force
Watch the damned they're gonna break their chains
Through the night...
Abandoned land come on in child take my hand
Hear a rising force
Watch the damned they're gonna break their chains
Pulled into war to serve a vision
That's supposed to last a thousand years
Part of a machine unstoppable
As merciless as tidal waves
Were they the victims of the time
Or proud parts of lager goals?
Propaganda of the Reich masterful machine
Time and again the battle rages on
Beyond the gates of misery
As casualties rise and millions die around them
Did they see it all?
Crazy mademen on a leash
Or young men who lost their way?
Grand illusions of the Reich
May seem real at times
Panzers on a line
Form the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
What about the men executing orders?
Ad victoriam
Ex machina
Non sibi sed patriae [x2]
Pulled into war to serve a vision
That just didn't last a thousand years
Part of a machine
Though stoppable as merciless as tidal waves
Crazy mademen on a leash
Or young men who lost their way?
Grand illusions of the Reich
May seem real at times
Panzers on a line
Form the Wehrmacht's spine
Lethal grand design
I've had a vision its clear to me now
I know what has to be done
Different religions cannot share a land
A plague and I have the cure
Chase them down, let them suffer in pain
Dig them down, they´ll be gone for a while
Evidence lost
We burn
Plunder and rape
Show them no mercy, just burn
Flesh turn to ash
Inspired by deeds that were done long ago
I know what has to be done
Filth of my land must be washed clean and pure
Now let the cleansing begin
Genocide?
Who will drag me to court?
There´s no crime if you do not get caught
I am the law. We burn
Privates, sergeants and generals hear
It's our chance we've been waiting too long
Warsaw Rise!
Do you remember when, when the Nazis forced their rule
on Poland 1939 and the allies turned away
From the underground rose a hope of freedom as a
whisper
City in despair, but they never lost their faith
Women, men and children fight
they were dying side by side
And the blood they shed upon the streets
was a sacrifice willingly paid
Warsaw city at war
Voices from underground
whispers of freedom
1944 help that never came
Calling Warsaw city at war
Voices from underground
whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you
'Warszawo, walcz!'
Spirit soul and heart
in accordance with the old traditions
1944 still the allies turn away
Fighting street to street
in a time of hope and desperation
Did it on their own and they never lost their faith
Women, men and children fight
they were dying side by side
And the blood they shed upon the streets
was a sacrifice willingly paid
Warsaw city at war
Voices from underground
whispers of freedom
1944 help that never came
Calling Warsaw city at war
Voices from underground
whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you
'Warszawo, walcz!'
[Solo – Oskar & Rikard]
[2x]
All the streetlights in the city
broken many years ago
Break the curfew, hide in sewers
Warsaw it's time to rise now
Warsaw city at war
Voices from underground
whispers of freedom
1944 help that never came
Calling Warsaw city at war
Voices from underground
whispers of freedom
Rise up and hear the call
History calling to you
As a turn of the tide
It is our turn to rise
The force of a union at war
March over the mountains
On our way to the north
On the road that will lead us to Rome
Our way will not be easy
It will take us through hardship and pain
Hill after hill breaking their line of defense
Head at north
Mile after mile our march carries on
No army may stop our approach
Fight side by side
Many nations unite
At the shadow of Monte Cassino
We fight and die together
As we head for the valley of death
Destiny calls
We'll not surrender or fail
To arms!
Under one banner
As a unit we stand
And united we fall -
As one fighting together
Bringing the end to the slaughter
Winds are changing
