The griffin, griffon, or gryphon (Greek: γρύφων, grýphōn, or γρύπων, grýpōn, early form γρύψ, grýps; Latin: gryphus) is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle was the king of the birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin was also thought of as king of the creatures. Griffins are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions.Adrienne Mayor, a classical folklorist, proposes that the griffin was an ancient misconception derived from the fossilized remains of the Protoceratops found in gold mines in the Altai mountains of Scythia, in present day southeastern Kazakhstan, or in Mongolia. In antiquity it was a symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine. Some have suggested that the word griffin is cognate with Cherub.

Crusaders set forth from the castle
So graciously march to the sea
Prepared for a blood thirsty battle
The warships set sail dreams of victory
New fighting from the inside, cruel love for vengeance will prevail
By night fall the castle's surrounded
The roadhouse and moat are ablaze
The order is given, advance to the wall
Pursue till the victory is gained
New fighting from the inside, cruel love for vengeance will prevail
Never abandon their conquest in life, courageously sworn to their faith
Heavy metal attack, fighting hand to hand on the field of glory
Heavy metal attack, to the death they will fight and endure the pain
Heavy metal attack, hear the sound of the steel clash with passion and fury
Heavy metal attack, those who live by the sword also die by the blade
By daybreak the castle has fallen
The smouldering ruin remains
Cries of the wounded are heard across the land
They cry for their God to be saved
New fighting from the inside, cruel love for vengeance will prevail
Never abandon their conquest in life, courageously sworn to their faith
Heavy metal attack, fighting hand to hand on the field of glory
Heavy metal attack, to the death they will fight and endure the pain
Heavy metal attack, hear the sound of the steel clash with passion and fury
Heavy metal attack, those who live by the sword also die by the blade
Heavy metal attack, lingers on greets the dawn with the slaughter of thousands
Heavy metal attack, to their God and the king was their life what they gave
To my God, hear me now, give me strength to be brave
Through the heat and the smoke, there's but little to save
The fires raged on throughout the night, and now through the day
Many deaths have been tolled, now the price must be paid
Assemble at once, tonight we ride
Horses gaining as torches flame through the
Black night, riders have come to destroy
It's the last frontier, it's a night of fear
Brave riders will fall prey, they answer the call this day
Don't stop crossing burning bridges past the night watch
Lead the quest for independence
Hawk has come to claim his vengeance
Men have tried, many men have died
To oppose the dark one, your life's in your hands
You had best beware, you must be prepared
Together we break through, there's no time to lose
He must stand, we must protect the land
The mighty hawk must not be stopped
He wields his sword cast by his lord
Does anybody know about where we've come
Been wreaking havoc, never chose to run
Deploring utter cries for what we've done
When metal rules the world we'll stand as one
The final word will come on Judgement Day
Don't he surprised, you've all been warned, make no mistake
Judgement will be done, we stand together, all for one
They've tried to stop us, tooth and nail we fought
Still try to smear our name, we cant be bought
The very reason that we linger on
Dur metal forces gather, growing strong
The final word will come on Judgement Day
Don't be surprised, you've all been warned, make no mistake
Has anybody even stopped to wonder
Where the future lies
Running from the devil, always poisoning my mind
Ride a train to nowhere, could be running out of time
Let's put a to all the madness, living just to die
The grand illusion, World war III
It need be no surprise
The dogs of war they have no conscious
Fill us full of lies
There ain't no use in talking, they don't care to realize
Be melting into nothingness like right before our eyes
[CHORUS:]
Nowhere to run, the time bomb's ticking
Nowhere to run, don't wanna die
No place to hide, be no escaping
Can't fight the fire in the sky
Traveling past the speed of light, super sonic blast
People falling all around to the ground
They're falling much to fast
It's much to late, you can't escape, too late to be saved
Again it's got you tonight
It's cool to tell yourself alright
You're feeling so great
You're feeling strong
Then all of a sudden something's wrong
You panic you've been there before
You're desperate
You know that you must score
The tyrant has got you by the balls
The rush that you had is gone
Cursed the deceiver before it's too late
We denounce non believers
Cursed the deceiver before it's too late
Something's wrong
Cry out god help me before it's too late
Or you die, go to hell
They'll be no one to blame but yourself
Cursed the deceiver before it's too late
We denounce non believers
Cursed the deceiver before it's too late
Something's wrong
Cry out god help me before it's too late
Or you die, go to hell
They'll be no one to blame but yourself
It's become soul destroying
Remains are the shell of a soul
The pain that's within you
There's no escape, can't let go
Torment and torture
You've brought on yourself
You control and those you take with you descend
To the depths far below
Cursed the deceiver before it's too late
We denounce non believers
Cursed the deceiver before it's too late
Something's wrong
Cry out god help me before it's too late
Or you die, go to hell
Just when you had no hope, thought you were going mad
You felt the time is right just that the karma's bad
And an impersonal world in which you must be strong
It isn't pleasure it's possession, no excitement when the thrill is gone
We've just begun to fight it, right on
Got to start resisting, 'for we wind up in hell
The very reason to resist, so right on
You're on your own, you lock yourself up, throw away the key
Then you're whipped into a frenzy, down upon your knees
You show your animal instinct only to survive
You realize that in a sick way, it's apparent that you're still alive
He've just begun to fight it, right on
Got to start resisting, 'for we wind up in hell
The very reason to resist, so right on
They stop at nothing, thrive on submission
Ya got me down, ya got me down on the floor
It's all or nothing, resist submission
Can't feed the fire, can't feed the fire no more
When the pleasure ends and the thrill is gone
Is when you ask your God for mercy, were you right or wrong
So when the devil comes to take away your soul
Is when you find you're just a number and there's nothing left for you to hold
We’ve just begun to fight it, right on
Got to start resisting,'for we wind up in hell
The very reason to resist, so right on
They stop at nothing, thrive on submission
Ya got me down, ya got me down on the floor
It's all or nothing, resist submission
Ascends to the earth in the form, and the spirit as one
Created the sovereign protector, his kingdom has come
Among the stars in the sky, there's magic in the air
A kingdom of fire, destroyers everywhere
By light of the moon, a golden figure stands
A symbol of God, a conqueror of man
Spreads his wings from out of the sun, a king of all kings
The cross that he bears, the road that he holds, his story‘s been told
He peers from above, through misty morning fog
The moment is right, it shouldn't take too long
Down from the sky, in search of precious stone
Will not be denied what he admires most
Stacks his prey, his presence is felt, his power so great
He lives by the cross, possesses magic claws, his reign lingers on and on
Rose from the ashes, successor to the throne
Place of his origin isn't known
He seems to exist, been seen in nanny forms
The winged beast appears and then he goes
Could they be watching
Watching from the sky
Long distance travelers
Are believed to coincide
Endless enigma
Though the truth was lost
Still question why
Still this existence
It remains a mystery to this day
Among the ruins the answer lies
Within the sacred sight
Magnetic power fields appear to signify
Solar alignments come together
Through both space and time
Ancient observers
Long ago they founded their domain
Watchers of the sky did they exist
Celestial voyages through outer space
Watchers of the sky, the mystery
The mystery of the cosmic truth on earth
Could they exist
Could they be up there
Watching from the sky
Extra terrestrials
Some day they may arrive
So let the truth be known
To all of interstellar light
If life is out there
It remains a mystery to this day
Watchers of the sky did they exist
Celestial voyages through outer space
Watchers of the sky, the mystery
The mystery of the cosmic truth on earth
Lives inside a castle
Somewhere hidden in the clouds
High up in the mountains
You can hear the cries
Hear the cries
Laughs and sings the moon is glowing
Radiant red light
Unleashing powers of pleasure in the night
Believe it, what is strong
His so majestic his song
Believe it, oh you will see
Can't tame the lion
The griffin is king
Emerald eyes and wide spread opinions
Believe it, what is strong
His so majestic his song
Believe it, oh you will see
Can't tame the lion
Unanswered questions
Baffle the human mind
Ominous threat
Disrupting both space and time
Theory suggests
Of regions that lie beyond
Vanishing point
Where magnetic pull is strong
Pulsars received
Transmitted from outer space
Source is unknown
Distinct beams that radiate
Something is there
No evidence has been found
Still it exist
And operates quite unsound
Edge of space
The edge of time, time, time, time
Black holes like a vacuum
Sucking the universe
Super dense stars
Exploding with violent rage
Space bending time
Distorted and inter changed
Down to the core
Extracting cosmic debris
Pressure releases
Into a darkened sea
High concentration
Host like diversion looms
Critical mass
Now destined to be consumed
Gravity cycles
Nothing left to emit
Vacuums created black hole
Bottomless pit
Edge of space
The edge of time, time, time, time
Black holes like a vacuum
Sucking the universe
Event horizon threshold time is erased
Can't be detected
Light it cannot escape
Beyond this point
Matter ceases to exist
Into the void
Strange gases and swirling mist
Edge of forever
Destiny must unfold
Boundless dimension
Into the vast remote
Infinite voyage
Grand drama will evolve
Parallel worlds ascending
Through endless falls
Edge of space
The edge of time, time, time, time
Black holes like a vacuum
Sucking the universe
Edge of space
The edge of time, time, time, time
Black holes like a vacuum
High in the mountains and up in the hills for thrills
A place that's so sacred that not many will talk about the chills
Fresh mountain air leaves you little to spare, backpacker's dream
Must not be fooled by the beauty, it isn't what it seems
A legend is known of a friend who spreads terror in the hills
Who sought out his victims, never was caught, the legend lives
Still people avoid to see truth as it stares them in the eyes
They don't hear the warning until it's too late or time to die
Hell runneth over, danger is lurking in the woods
Hell runneth over, something is wrong it's understood
Hell runneth over, could be a shadow in the night
Hell runneth over, better beware, fear for you life
Innocent victims get lost in the woods most every day
Can't even imagine or couldn't care less what people say
Stalking the campgrounds, prowling the trails, he comes and goes
Can't be too careful alone in the woods, be on your toes
Hell runneth over, hiking alone along the trail
Hell runneth over, pray that you live to tell the tale
Hell runneth over, notice that everything is still
Hell runneth over, sun's going down, you get a chill
Tension is mounting, don‘t know what‘s taken over you
Thought you saw something, too scared to look, you could be through
Don't know what‘s out there, only it‘s getting very near
Running in circles, you're getting confused, nothing is clear
Hell runneth over, eyes are upon your every move
Hell runneth over, all by yourself, what can you do
Hell runneth over, isn't it true you chose your fate
Crusaders set forth from the castle
So graciously march to the sea
Prepared for a blood thirsty battle
The warships set sail dreams of victory
New fighting from the inside, cruel love for vengeance will prevail
By night fall the castle's surrounded
The roadhouse and moat are ablaze
The order is given, advance to the wall
Pursue till the victory is gained
New fighting from the inside, cruel love for vengeance will prevail
Never abandon their conquest in life, courageously sworn to their faith

Heavy metal attack, those who live by the sword also die by the blade
Heavy metal attack, lingers on greets the dawn with the slaughter of thousands
Ever get the feeling when you know you're lost right from the moment
Feels like you're lost in time, something inside your mind has taken over
Someone's got your number, thought you heard a voice, your name was spoken
You felt the past speak, you know not what you seek, it's really nowhere
Traveling in time out on the astral plane, perpetual motion
Had time to catch a cloud, could only hear my heartbeat, I was nowhere to be found
How could you ever really see a certain likeness, could it be
You're looking up, you're somewhere on the ground
You feel a force of nature calling
All at once you feel you're falling
A place where restless spirits can be found
Travelling in time to places so far away
Travelling in time out on the astral plane
A crime of passion, are you still dreaming
In your eyes I see you're scheming
Your magnetism that follows and devours
A forceful will that's so disruptive
Penetrating and seductive
Can not be broke by any earthly power
Travelling in time to places so far away
Travelling in time out on the astral plane
It calls, a voice in the wind
So strange, the feeling begins
You feel overcome and now you submit
Your desire is raging within
Here lies the body of the Polish king
May we remember him
Not for what he did
But for what he didn't do
And the people who stood by him
For which he gave his life
May God bless him
And may he rest in peace
Where am I?
What is this place?
What is the thing that draws me?
Who are you?
Show yourself
I said show yourself
Oh no, oh no please don't
From out of the night a cry from far below the streets
Deep in the heart of the city
An underground world remains to be unknown
Don't expect it to be very pretty
Can't walk the streets at night untested, don't walk along,
You never know what lurks behind
Some night you might just meet the creeper
Better beware the creeper seems to read your mind
You're on your way home, you‘re starting to unwind
From a day of tension and strain
You ask yourself why you're not alone tonight
Now you're starting to feel very strange
Don't overlook the unexpected, can't understand
Something's in the air tonight
You feel the presence of the creeper
Losing your nerve, you can't escape the sudden fright
You're not laughing
Trapped in an alley, only one way out
Now you see what you've done to yourself
You're coming unglued, got your back to the wall
Could this be an illusion so tell
There's something creeping down the alley
Don't make a sound, your heart is beating like a drum
Trapped like a rat, God only knows, what fate awaits you
Needless to say you only wish that you had run
The time has come to meet the creeper
Bigger than life as he appears with eyes of fire
Prince of the night, now there's a shadow cast upon you
Here we go again
Waken strange one lonely evening
Find you're all alone
You sit in silence
Feeling from inside your body
Growing deep inside you
Now you rise
Find a book you've never seen
A book in which you start to read
It's at this point you
Become enhanced instantly
Found the book of shadows
Enter the vampire queen's eternal life
Carnal forces overwhelm
Tremble at her sight with raw emotion
Especially now you've heard the song
Been beckoned by her
Bathed in lambent light
Impelled by longing deep desire
She summons you with force and fire
You can't resist, too late
You find you cross the border line
Time has come, she senses what is hers
Vampire queen awaits new life
She'll give you the promise of life
This is the final command
The vampire queen now demands
You obey her, her final command
A burning desire
The hunger grows wild
Fulfill her need, succumb to her
She'll give you life
She wants your blood
Hungers now been satisfied
Willful captive to her
Can't be broken
Controls the minds and bodies of her victims
And lovers which she feeds
Now acquired a fetish for the deadly vampires kiss
Bound and chained enslaved forever
To the vampire queen you serve for life
Fulfilling her need
It's your blood that she seeks
She'll give you the promise of life
This is the final command
The vampire queen now demands
You obey her, her final command
A burning desire
The hunger grows wild
This is the final command
The vampire queen now demands
You obey her, her final command
A burning desire
