Where Mountains Collide

I hear their battle cry
Betrayers of the gods and I stand with pride
With sword and my shield held high
I must fight to cleanse this land that is mine
With Thor at my side
I will crush the hearts of christ
Into the storm I ride
They will never take our land nor our gods
This false christian king will die
Where mountains collide
Their blood runs, covers my eyes
I fear no man
I will cleanse these lands
In the final hour of the storm
I will purge this land and all will die
Fight or die!
Forward, forward, farmers you must
Ride, now ride!
Into battle we must take their
Lives, their lives!
Forward, forward, farmers you must
Ride, now ride!
Odin will prevail and crush their christ
Bloody are the hands of divine
On the fields where mountains collide
In this final hour we ride high!

The Endless Sands
05:19
|
|||
People of the endless sands
A vast empire
River is the way of life
The gift of the Nile
Rulers of the foreign lands
They cross the Sinai
To conquer the delta
The ending of a dynasty
Conquered kingdom
Under the sun
On endless sands
The rulers of the foreign lands
Bronze weapons and armor
Inexorable force
Chariots afire
People of the ancient sun
Embrace Sakir-Har
To rule Avaris
And bring them prosperity
Conquered kingdom
Under the sun
Rule foreign lands
Upon the sands
The Hyksos rule as one

In Flames and Decay
05:13
|

End of the 4th century
An empire forced to its knees
A process of decline now set in motion
Collapsing economy
Refusing to accept their defeat
Rome must prevail
Through valor and victory
Through valor and victory!
From the north they came
Invasion of their homeland
Had left them nothing
Fraught and displaced
An honest plea for a better life
A chance to be free
Rome then betrayed the Goths
Ordered the assassination of their leaders
Suffering endured
A broken dream for a brave new world
A life on their knees
No life on your knees
The time for peace has ended
The barbarian’s revolt
Tribes come join the masses
A force now to behold
Valens wants the glory
Victory will come
Gathering his armies
The battle must be won
Fortified brute forces
Romans march for war
Cavalry defeated
Exhausted to the core
Roman troops retreating
Valens in dismay
Abandoned by his forces
To die in flames and decay

Of Distant Shores
04:05
|
|||
I stand upon the shores
Of this sacred holy land
My blood runs cold
Fierce winds from the north
The mist unveils the end
And i see
Riders of the sea
Fear no man
Godless to me
The black head of the dragon
The deep bite of their steel
A prayer in vain to bring us shelter
No weapons shall we wield
And i see
Storm riders of the sea
Fear no man
Godless to me
Lindisfarne is
Now forsaken
A burning darkness
Unforgiven now
The ravages of heathen men
Will we see the coming dawn?
Forgotten by the gods
The burning shores of Lindisfarne
Praying for salvation
Will we see the coming dawn?
Forsaken by my god
Of distant shores and dragon skies
They fly, they ride!

Legacy of Desolation
07:34
|
|||
Here we are the inheritors
Of what’s left behind
We made the pact
The contract signed
We pay the debt
The price? Our lives
This will be our
Legacy of desolation
Crawling backwards
A legacy of desolation
A legacy
Poisoning our history
We leave behind
Like ashes
In the sands of time
Here we stand on the brink
Are we condemned to fall?
Invasive class to rule them all
We rise to ruin only to crawl

Winter War
05:20
|
|||
’39 is the dawn of winter war
A plan devised
Confrontation through
Designed aggression
Offensive force
Gathering at the Mannerheim Line
On frozen fields is where they die
Their blood runs cold
Under the veil of a blackened sky
They’ll die alone
This winter war
Shelling steel across
The frozen fields of terror
Karelia
An armored force
Amassed to crush the lines
Frontal assault on Taipale
The red army torn
Divisions descend
Mass casualties
A nation scorned
By the winter war
Through snow and ice
Frozen in agony
The red army torn
December‘s cold
Motti strategy
The ultimate price
For winter war
1939
Now frozen in time
Through fire and ice
They pay the final price

A Cold Empty Throne
04:57
|
|||
Rest upon the ashes
Of the aftermath of war
Cities lie in ruins
What once was shall
Be no more
Kingdom of stone
For a cold empty throne
A world condemned to rubble
Resources bled dry
The bombs that scorched the earth
And waste infected skies
Reap what we’ve sown
A cold empty throne
Only in the end
We see what could have been
In a world condemned for all
The tears we share..
As we fall
