1. Blessed By The Gods

(intro)

Blessed by the Gods
Forged in the Fires of immortal
Vengeance and Hatred
Pure Wielders of the True Power of Metal
Born to reign in Iron Glory forever
SACRED STEEL

2. Open Wide The Gate

The final dawn
I am drawn into the storm
The black gates of the black abyss await
The smoke of burning is rising from the crypt
The cursed torch of my souls' damnation's lit
I am falling towards the onyx citadels
Towering above the sacred city hell
A Pandemonium devoid of wretched light
Enjoy the cold embrace of neverending night
This is what shall come to be
Torment
Suffering
In my vision doom's revealed
I rejoice in sin
Guilty as charged
On the left hand path I walked
Bound and damned
Sent to hell by his command
I am free
Yes
I am free
Though I am burning endlessly
Seal my fate
Tyrant lord
Open wide the gate
The dark lord of the black abyss awaits
Chained by sorrow
Up in heaven sing still loyal angels hymns to god their tyrant king
Decrepit leader
May you reign in your despair
You know the time has come to share your treasures fair
Your power's lost when the last soul won't repent
The golden age will rise of our world without end
Hells' gate
They told me that you love me
All I feel is hate

3. Tonight The Witches Ride

A black Night, a cold Night
What Evil may this Darkness bring
A dark Storm upon us
The Ceremony is soon to begin
Their Master is waiting
And the Goat is an impatient Lord
A dark song the Wind sings
Come ye Children of Satan's black horde

Come to the Flame
Creatures of Evil are meeting again
Come to the Fire
To summon the Devil, our Lord and Messiah

Unholy Night
Mankind filled with Fright
Satan waits in Pride
Tonight The Witches Ride

A grim Night, a cursed Night
All Demons are joining the Call
Thee unborn, thee Hellspawn
Gathered to bring Death to us all

And I saw the Beasts of Earth
Feast upon the Souls of Man
And I saw their Son of God
Die like Sinners, die in Pain

4. Battle Angel

From the pits of hell
a legion of hatred
to break the holy spell
all that is sacred
in the midst of confusion
heat of the battle
an angel in armour
the power of metal
warrior of steel
to fight the deceiver
you"re in for the kill
a non-believer
wings stained with blood
sword deadly metal
come fight if you dare
the angel in battle

Battle angel
slay with wrath divine
battle angel
feel his rage and die

Ascending with power and might
wielding his sword of revenge
see the fire of truth in his eyes
destined to fight battle angel

Taking to the sky
guardian in glory
in grace so divine
and pure victory
celestial fighter
defender leader
the armies of heaven
crushed the deceiver
saviour from the sky
stand and deliver
fight and never die
reign on forever
you who brought us steel
blessed us with metal
forever blessed be
the angel of battle

On wings made of steel
he flies through the heavens
he"s stronger than ever before
if your heart is evil and your soul is false
prepare to meet him in war

5. Faces Of The Antichrist

Judgement is high
Lord let me die
I wish for death and you know the reason why
Horrors beset a sanity wrecked
I can no longer stand the vile beasts attack

He's in my mind
He's in my dream
Oh lord, he's everywhere
Won't you hear my scream

Satan – in all that is I see his eyes
Evil faces of the antichrist
Satan – all around his kingdom lie
Evil faces of the antichrist (all around me)

I'm bound to sin
Satan within
I need to flog myself before Lord Satan wins
Dare not to think
Dare not to act
Their lore of hell for shure's a curse I must reject

Have mercy
Set me free
Have mercy
Leave me be

I know not joy
I know not peace
For everywhere I sense the labour of the beats
Forgive my sin
I've lost the night
Nearer my god to thee
Bless my suicide

6. Victory Of Black Steel

The writing's on the wall
The signs are clear for all to see
Your Eden soon shall fall to the victory of black steel
Back from the dead in black
Out of Hel's cold embrace
Rise to the challenge
We are the fist in your face
The force of metal calls
Onward to battle now
Bang all your heads to the power
Enter death row
Torn from chaos
Wings darkening the sky
The horned god is here with us tonight
Up from the grave
A curse to bind you all
His cloven hoof has got you by the balls
A cult in steel reborn
Thou must hail
Our prophecy of slaughter did not fail
In bloodlust we have served the wargods'will
Blessings of iron forged the victory of black steel
Law of the blade of hate
Birth of the iron age
Crawl to your cross
Too late
Face our deathrage
Into the realms of sin
Bow to the force so grim
Conquered
Defeated
Damned
Black steel our command
Crush the light
Breathe the dark
All ye children bear my mark
All your pain becomes my joy
Those who oppose we shall destroy

7. Carnage Rules The Fields Of Death

Carnage rules the Fields of Death
Where many died this Night
I kneel within a pool of Blood
In Victory and Might

I hail the Gods above, oh bless me
With Metal, Steel and Blood

I swear to be your loyal Priest
A Prophet of your Wrath
Do what you will with me, I'm yours
On the Fields of Death

Carnage
Carnage Rules The Fields Of Death
Carnage
Carnage Rules The Fields Of Death

Carnage rules the Fields of Death
And for more Death I pray
Bless me with the Skills of War
And in your name I'll slay

I see Despair and Pain
In his fearful Eyes
As Blood spills, Slaughter rains
Now the bastard dies

Carnage rules the Fields of Death
And Death rules Life once more
I sacrifice my Soul to thee
I swear to die at War

8. The Rites Of Sacrifice

Rites of death
Slaughter beckoning
Hearken to the call
Promised carnage
Day of reckoning
Crush their heathen skulls
To soothe the bloodgod
Women
Children
All their kin must die
I proclaim the bloodshed summoning
It's my secret right (on this sacred night)

Terror
Torture
Murder
Praise the god by rites of sacrifice

Screams and moans
Break their bones
So much blood is spilled
Their faith defiled
None left alone
Bloodlust unfulfilled
Our eyes be freed from blindness
Our kin be spared from death
Lord XU'TUL grant us mercy
We feed your ancient wrath

9. Dark Forces Lead Me To The Brimstone Gate

Sorcery, anointed by her Spells
I'm drawn into the Black Abyss of fiery Hell!"

("I am reborn in Bloodshed to wreak Havoc, Death and Hate
Upon the lost souls doomed, where endless Pain awaits!"[/track-original]

"I call thee... DARK FORCES! DARK FORCES! (Priests of the Serpent-Race!)
DARK FORCES! (Sorcerers of Time! Disciples of the Worm!)
DARK FORCES! DARK FORCES!
LEAD ME TO THE BRIMSTONE GATE!!!"

(Before the Council of the Serpent. The Dreamer stands alone, facing the Trial of the Elder Gods.)

THE ELDER GODS:
"Behold these Treasures! We know your Soul is pure.
Take them and use them to rule this World once more!"

(The Neophyte on the way back to the second Dream-Gate)

THE TYRANT KING:
"Thus spake the Elders!
The Gods of Metal, Steel and Iron and Glory
(I am) Reborn to reign as King!"

"DARK FORCES LEAD ME TO THE BRIMSTONE GATE!
DARK FORCES LEAD ME THROUGH THE BRIMSTONE GATE!!!"

10. Sword Of The King

With the dying breath of the blind witch
came the prophecy
from the land of myth and dreams
into reality

From the old kingdom of magic
the griffin descends
to bring the sword of the elder
to the ruler of man

Oh hear the valkyries sing
your life or death they bring
your future held within
to bring forth the sword of the king

The heir to the throne is the child of the damned
he must be stopped and fall
black is his mind black is his soul
he has come to bind us all
he is the fiend of the pureness of light
the ancient tyrant son
the heir to the throne must be killed and denied
defeat the chosen one

Die by my sword
you"ll die by my hand
I will be lord
and the ruler of man

Give light to the blind
the end of the tyranny
your soul and mind will never be free
warriors unite
into battle for destiny
metal is life
into war for the king

Take their children take their wives
take their cities take their lives
leave "em broken hear my spell
life on earth shall be your hell

11. Stormhammer

Elvenlord-Kings of the Black Witch (Unholy and sinful
Mistress of Magicians and Gods!)

(Legends engraved in the Black Stone of A'RYTH-RA:)

"Fire and Magic! Empowered by Moon-Force... (and the Spellcraft of the Witch-Circle!)
Envenomed by Death-Spells... (and the Curses of the Dreaming Dead!)
Only fools ignore (the Power of the True Gods)!"

"STORMHAMMER, Sword of the King!
STORMHAMMER, Wrath of Steel!
STORMHAMMER, tear and sever!
STORMHAMMER, reign forever!
STORMHAMMER! STORMHAMMER!"

(At the Blood-Stone Altar of CROM, the Slaughtergod, the Sword is given to the
King.)

"Entwined the Horrors of the Blind Witch. Wretched Guardian of the Blade.
Hammer of Red Death and Suffering! Born to rule (and) to enslave!"

THE EMPEROR:
"A Millenium of slow Death I shall bestow upon the fool!
I am the Arch-Fiend of the Traitor... (The scourge of the demigod!)
Tyrant! I am your Bane, your Fear, your Doom!"

12. Metal Is War

THE ARMY OF A'RYTH-RA:
"Marching 'neath the Banner of the Bloodstained Sword
Warriors of the Oath unleash the Crimson Storm!
Disciples of the Horned God fear the Final War!
We (have) come to crush and desecrate, Metal is the Law!"

"Metal is the Law
METAL IS WAR!"

(THE EMPEROR:
"My Blood be thine Force as my Flesh serve thine Will!
I who grant thee this life urge thee, grant me the kill!
This Oath it is sealed by Honour, Magic and Blood!
I swear not to fail but myself become God!!!")

THE ARMY OF A'RYTH-RA:
"We've come to seal your fate, we've come with killing Hate
To crush and desecrate, METAL IS WAR!"

(THE EMPEROR: "What a splendid sight it is to see those Legions march! How
hungry they are for the Bloodshed!")

THE ORACLE OF A'RYTH-RA:
"Follow him, the One, the Light where Darkness falls...
And sing the Songs of Battle where the Slaughter calls!
Hail the Sacred Conqueror, sworn to bring demise...
And when the Fog of Battle clears a new Kingdom will rise!"

THE ARMY OF A'RYTH-RA:
"Beneath the Dragonsky, our Banner's flying high!
FACE US AND YOU'LL DIE!!!"

"YOU SHALL DIE!!!"

THE EMPEROR:
"I am in Command to soak the Killing Field with Blood
(I am the) High-King of my Warriors, the Dragonslayer-Lord
My Armour shining Steel, I wear the Sceptre, Sword and Ring
I am the Saviour prophesized and I reign supreme!"

13. Master Of Thy Fate

THE TYRANT KING:
"I am the thorn in your side! Your fault, your Flesh Divine...
All that you blame on me is what you made me to be!
In your eyes I've grown much too strong... Have I not been your Chosen One?
(Cursed) Dark Gods CROM and XU! You deny me... I defy you!!!"

"You deny me... I defy you!
You deny me... I DEFY YOU!!!"

(THE WITCH: "Fret ye not, beloved Son... your time is at hand!")

THE TYRANT KING:
"I have fallen from Grace. You left me behind (and) spat in my face!
(I've suffered your impertinent) Endless, malicious Attack. Believe me, I'm
tired to always fight back...
...So many soldiers I've slain... I had to kill them again and again!!!
I am embittered and sad... may 'STORMHAMMER' lay me forever to rest!"

"This is the end... the end you've planned?
This is my way... TO YOUR DECAY!!!"

(THE WITCH: "Whatever they dare to confront thee with! In the end you will
reign supreme!")

THE TYRANT KING:
"Now (you) revel in Victory! (Now that) You got rid of me!...
(You've) Crushed me with your Hate! I am the Master of my Fate!
(I was the) Beast of War! Your King of gore!
My Soul you have betrayed! (Nevertheless) I am the Master of thy Fate!!!"

"(With) My backs to the wall. I face the end, proud, standing tall!
(I was) Never a sheep in your flock! I am my Master, (my) King and my God!
Forever fool and enslave all those who hail you, sing and give praise...
(You) Can't stand my Courage and Course... I broke your Rules! Yes!!! I broke
your Laws!!!"

THE WITCH:
"(You are the) Master of thy Fate... Master...
Master of thy Fate... Master...
Master of thy Fate... Master...
Master of thy Fate... Master..."

14. True Force Of Iron Glory

The sound of true metal
religion and force
the grinding of immortal steel

15. Sacred Bloody Steel

Hellbent my course
I'll never care about your cries
So strong my force
The passion never ever dies
Some say I'm false
Some say I'm true as hell can be
When my fate calls
Upright I'll meet my destiny

I am not weak
I chose to walk with this path alone
With iron in my heart and metal in my soul

Steel running through my veins
A life of leather spikes and chains
Devotion pure and real
Stand strong for my belief
That guides me leads me through my dream of sacred bloody steel

No need to change
I've live my dream I've found my way
No debt to pay
March on while posers fall astray
All hail to steel
Come live your dream
No compromise
Unbound and free
Community of metal rise

Your hell is my heaven
Damnation destiny
Hell is my heaven
In my damnation I am free
Hell is my heaven
Damnation destiny
Hell is my heaven
In my damnation I feel...

16. We Die Fightinhg

Heavy as fuck
Indeed
We're metal to the bone
Scourge of you hypocrites
United we stand strong
I tell you once again
Our spite you'll get for this
We are your hell on earth
Repay the Judas kiss
Don't you know what waits for you
The mirror shows the final truth
We die
But we die fighting
Death is the way to know the truth
Your lies we shall deface
We'll show the world you're wrong
We'll face you once again in battle
Come along
And if we die we know we fought for our belief
It is now all for one
In victory or defeat
Death shall come for you
The end is drawing near
Our call to arms be heard
We'll stand and fight for truth
In heaven
Hell
On earth
Our weapon
Sacred Steel
Now taste the bloodred sword
We sound the battle cry
Be with us metal lords

17. Blood On My Steel

(THE EMPEROR: "A Vision is calling me! Revealing the most sinister Dream within
a Dream! I love her since the Days of the Rising of the Three Suns, since the
Birth of the Stars. She is my predestined Queen, my Priestess and Goddess. The
sight is breathtaking!")

"Red Fire... Shroud of Mist... Visions of Virgin Grace... (tears are streaming from her angelic
Countenance!)
My Dark Queen, force-taken (her Lips utter my Name!)... His foul breath on her Face!"

"Every fibre of my Heart is screaming... (Release her and taste my Blade!)
Stop the torture of a sad soul dreaming... (I am the helpless watcher in this sadistic game!)
...And it's tearing me apart!!! (I shall rape and desecrate your Spirit forever!)
Every fibre of my (now frost-bitter) Heart is bleeding!"

"I see her... I feel her! Enraged in mad Despair! (This shall never be forgiven!!!)
I'll find you! I'll kill you! To thee Revenge I swear!"

(The holy Blood-Oath of the now insane God-King:)

"You will die (a slow, tormenting, everlasting Death)!
BLOOD ON MY STEEL!
This night I'll enjoy your screams... (over and over again...)
In the Rage of Battle I shall kill (I shall revel in the righteous Pleasure and
grim Satisfaction of your Agony!)
With BLOOD ON MY STEEL!"

"You want me, leave her be! I'm here so fight face to face! (COWARD! BASTARD! LIAR!)
I challenge thee! Come wicked King! Come dare to meet your Disgrace!"

"BLOOD ON MY STEEL!
BLOOD ON MY STEEL!
BLOOD ON MY STEEL!
BLOOD ON MY STEEL!"

18. Heavy Metal To The End

Come together for the Slaughter
The Crows feast tonight
Storm like Hell, bring on Terror
We kill with pure Delight
Fighting on for Power and Glory
To gain the Metal Throne
We clash with Iron Fury
To terminate their Souls

Kill for Steel and Blood
Posers will die for the Gods

Stand and fight with Sword in Hand
Heavy Metal To The End
Fight and die the Gods command
Heavy Metal To The End

Metal Blades sing songs of Carnage
Death Hymns of sacred Gore
Fast killing Steel of dark Rage
Dance deadly Tools of War
We charge in Praise of Metal
We strike with Steelborn Force
We kill as one forever
There will be no remorse

Heavy Metal To The End

19. Slaughter Prophecy

I am the last of the witches
Reborn to take revenge
Faor all those who've been burned alive
Slaughtered by your hands
Women flayed
Impaled
Raped
Broken on the rack
Torture killings in gods' name
Vengeance for the dead

Vengeance – vengeance
I live for revenge

Slaughter prophecy

Destiny be cruel for thee
I strike with spells malign
Disease and plague
Hail and fire
Called forth by my sign
I will not stop 'til you've paid
I'll haunt you to the last
Feel the pain of thousand deaths
Vengeance for the dead

Squeal like a pig in terror
I grasp your soul with hate
I am the nightmare nemesis
Your doom reincarnate
Thirst for blood can't be quenched
Who will laugh at last
I'll revel in your moaning
Your death will not be fast

20. Battle Cry

Catch a fleeting glimpse
Then be on your way
Oh the End is near
If we choose to stay
This forsaken land
Torn by Grief and Strife
No it's not worth
The value of your Life

The Smell of Death
Lingers everywhere
Bloodstained bodies
Scattered everywhere
In the distance
Thunder in the Sky
See the Sorrow
Hear the Battle Cry
Battle Cry

The Carnage races on
Well into the Night
As the Sun creeps up
We see the morning Light
On this Battlefield
The Tragedy of Dawn
Through the Crimson Tide
We still carry on

21. Wargods Of Metal

WAR!!

Reign in Blood, reign in Fire
Masters of Eternity
Born of Steel, born of Iron
Immortal Metal Deities
Give us War, give us Passion
Soldiers under your Command
We will fight for your Glory
We will fight until the End

Metalheads unite
Now stand up and fight

Wargods Of Metal
Wargods Of Metal
Wargods of Metal rule the Fight
Wargods of Metal rule the Fight

Die in Blood, die in Fire
Archfiend of dark Misery
Pay in guts, feed the Lion
For the Griffin still is King
Banners fly, Armour's clashing
And the Wargods lead us on
Into War, into Slaughter
Now the Bloodshed has begun
