1. Arctic Circle Daydreaming

(инструментал)

2. Forever Metalized

Now... we have been silent for much too long
the storm came at once and hit us strong

There's one thing about it we know damn well
facing this madness, we have to yell

Forever

Our pride'd been trampled and left to fade
who shall than oppose this final raid?

Trying to wreck us once and for all
if we would fail now who stand tall?

Metalized

You'll never see that moment, us falling under spell
nothing but endless torment, your footprints lead from hell

You may have all the power, together, one and all
Until the very last hour we will be standing tall, never we fall

What once had been meant to stay here for good
slowly got rusty, misunderstood

Forgiveness, freedom, metal we choose
we shall be brave now when hell breaks loose

Metalized

You'll never see that moment, us falling under spell
nothing but endless torment, your footprints lead from hell

You may have all the power, together, one and all
till the very last hour we will be standing tall, never we fall

3. Far Down Under The Ground

Down! Six hundred ninety five feet far down under the ground
an earthquake stroke hard and shook the mine, bringing that deaf(e)ning sound

Daily they used to go straight down the pit
hoping to come back home, oh no!

Lord! Guard the ones who face the darkness far down there
brighten up the halls, they walk through

Please, have an open heart for those who lose their lives
down under the ground

The tunnel collapsed, the smoke filled pits, all the lights went down too
the gas seeping from the coal blew up, leaving the men trapped, doomed

Daily they used to go straight down the pit
hoping to come back home, oh no!

Lord! Guard the ones who face the darkness far down there
brighten up the halls, they walk through

Please, have an open heart for those who lose their lives
down under the ground

4. Reptilization

Unbalance – avoidance – reality
decadence – dissonance – insanity

Foolishness – aiming at fortune and fame
emptiness – turning the spirit insane

Snake eyes open wide – you can not hide
looking right at you – you know it?s true!

Arrogance – ignorance – circling around
violence – vigilance – treacherous ground

Selfishness – granting a patent to live
greediness – ruling to take, not to give

No questions why – connotation
you can?t deny – trepidation
no place to hide – confrontation
you can decide – liberation

Face the treason – dehumanization
the unreason – reptilization

Innocence – consonance – mocked, satirized
abhorrence – insolence – both glorified

Enticing – tempting with money and fame
blackmailing – trying to stay in this game

Snake eyes open wide – you can not hide
looking right at you – you know it?s true!

No questions why – connotation
you can?t deny – trepidation
no place to hide – confrontation
you can decide – liberation

Face the treason – dehumanization
the unreason – reptilization

Face the treason – dehumanization
the unreason – reptilization

5. The Last Of The Mountain Kings

No sooner than two hundreds of years ago
the mountain kings, the only, we came to know

Those dwelling near the cradle of our race
the closest living creatures to us we traced

Bringing death and pain, realm of the insane

What shall remain
when the last of the mountain kings would be gone?

Who feels the pain
now, in times when cruelty and greed have won?

So time has come forever to change it all
the mountain kings, shot, slaughtered, from grace would fall

There was no battle, no need for victory
the wisest turned a wonder to misery

Sealing soon their fate – is it all too late?

What shall remain
when the last of the mountain kings would be gone?

Who feels the pain
now, in times when cruelty and greed have won?

Meeting once their doom – will we meet ours soon?

What shall remain
when the last of the mountain kings would be gone?

Who feels the pain
now, in times when madness spreads and greed has won?

What shall remain
when the last of the mountain kings would be gone?

Who feels the pain
now, in times when cruelty and greed have won?

6. Denim & Leather

Crank it up, let me hear it loud
speed it up, yes I like that sound
of shredding guitars
kick and snare gotta pump my blood
sound of bass gotta heat my veins
and shake the ground

learn our lesson of rock and roll
denim and leather, no uniform
bang your head and sing all along
thousand hearts yearning, you are not alone
heavy metal storm roaring
everlasting flame burning tonight

Vocal's high, soaring through the sky
overdrive keeping rock alive
all through the time
lead guitars – reach out for the stars
fretboard runs, stick to your guns
and never slow down

learn our lesson of rock and roll
denim and leather, no uniform
bang your head and sing all along
thousand hearts yearning, you are not alone
heavy metal storm roaring
everlasting flame burning tonight

7. Ultima Thule

North of the seas
those that we have sailed long before
there is a land
as the elders say, ancient lore

Fearful yet awed at once
we?ve been like in a trance

Beyond the reach
not where we belong... far away
icebound and dark
neath the pole-star lone? hard to say

Island unknown, crown of the world,
Ultima Thule as we?ve been told

Aeons unfold, we?ll never see
Ultima Thule mysterious...

Flames of mystery burning
olden legends returning
in quest for all the truth, unknown
mystery, secrecy

Times go by, tales get older
ocean?s cold, shades grow longer
nothing?s left but a memory of long lost Ultima Thule

Unholy ground
well, or paradise... we don?t know
what is the price
one would have to pay there to go?

Island unknown, crown of the world
Ultima Thule as we?ve been told

Aeons unfold, we?ll never see
Ultima Thule mysterious...

Flames of mystery burning
olden legends returning
in quest for all the truth, unknown
mystery, secrecy

Times go by, tales get older
ocean?s cold, shades grow longer
nothing?s left but a memory of long lost Ultima Thule

8. Siege Of Syracuse

Back in the day when ancient Rome conquered the world
its army set sail to lay siege on Syracuse

the wind blew ahead, bringing a dread, the water whirled
dozens of ships, nobody sliped this fatal cruise

When suddenly, a lethal light
hit all the ships before the fight
a war machine, one of a kind
constructed by a genius mind

Beams of Archimedes
concentric deadly rays
power of sun against the dominance
all Roman ships were burned
a lesson from nature learned
the hunted prey may became the one who hunts

Two years of war and Syracuse was sacked at last
circles disturbed, the mastermind died so fast

But no one could deny the deeds
done by this son of ancient Greece
not even in the history of those who won the victory

Beams of Archimedes
concentric deadly rays
power of sun against the dominance
all Roman ships were burned
a lesson from nature learned
the hunted prey may became the one who hunts

9. Back Home

I?m standing here all alone
like someone you?ve never known
I have lost the game, I?m weary to the bone

You?ll find no peace in my head
a time-bomb ticks there instead
will it soon explode and leave me driven mad?

The time has come I know
the choice is mine yet though
I will not make believe

Faded into grey
isolated, desolated
cannot wait the day
when I will be on my way back home

Back home – back where I want to be
back home – no better place for me

Once I thought that I?d be strong
believed that I was not wrong
when I chose to leave the place where I belong

The time has come I know
the choice is mine yet though
I will not make believe

No more I can stand
isolation, desolation
(a)cross the no man?s land
I?ll be running back to you back home

Back home – back where I want to be
back home – no better place for me

10. Once Given Up For Lost

Out of silence, out of sight
tarred and feathered, blamed for night
here we come to prove the madness

From the ashes, out of dust
disrespected, without trust
here we come to name the nameless

So here we are
bound we'll be forever
scar after scar
we won't leave you, never!

Stay who you are
you're the one and only
no more... convicted wrongly

Voice of thunder roaring
bells of metal tolling
face the truth once given up for lost

Thousand eagles flying
no, there's no denying
heading for the distant fairy coasts

Once a promise, now a deed
wicked voices we don't heed
we are all here for a reason

Time turns back, metal age
melting down the golden cage
leaves behind the darkest season

So here we are
bound we'll be forever
scar after scar
we won't leave you, never!

Stay who you are
you're the one and only
no more... convicted wrongly

Voice of thunder roaring
bells of metal tolling
face the truth once given up for lost

Thousand eagles flying
no, there's no denying
heading for the distant fairy coasts
