In The Hall Of The Kings
03:40

You will find me in the hall of the kings Banners to my back and my kin by my side Usurper will come
Try to take what is mine
But cloaked in the night, we will fight for our right We will ride
So bind me to the fate of the land Let them come, let them fall Because here we will stand
And if valour in death is the fate that is mine If my banners should fall
Still brothers one and all, will stand tall
Ride, ride out with me Ride to death and victory
In wrath and in ruin, as fell deeds awake Horn of Helm Hammerhand sounds in the deep

Fealty To None
04:10

Warriors of a ravaged land, on battle steeds we ride Defenders of a way of life, our spirit never dies Mete out the justice that avarice deserves
Our name was blackened but our aim must never swerve
We sacrifice the puppet king Our memories of the fallen ones We are the last of guardians to be The winds of death bring us a song
The voices of oblivion Bid us never to kneel
Fealty to none
We swear our fealty to none
When you see our banners, and hear our battle cry Then with thy maker you must make your peace and die No quarter given to the desperate in remorse Retribution swiftened and then justice in it’s course
Don’t ask for loyalty, don’t look us in the eye Just ask no questions and I’ll tell you no lies
We swear our fealty We swear our fealty
We swear our fealty to none We swear no fealty
We swear no fealty
We swear our fealty to none

I Am The Hammer
04:05

You sense my approach You feel it now
The howl of the wind The darkness on the clouds
You call me hellion, you call me war
The crash of thunder beyond the shore You call me hatred, you call me rage You feel it in you as the willpower fades
I am the hammer, you are the nail
I am the tempest, you are the sail
I am destruction, I am the swarm I’m ruination, I am the storm
You sense my advance You hear the sound The Cracks from the sky Tremors in the ground

England Expects
05:10
|

The royal throne of kings The sceptered isle
The emperor’s hand extends just beyond his grasp
Forces start to mass beyond the horizon Time is short and war begins
Villeneuve sets to sea to slay his nemesis
Howling winds and creaking oak groan through the sea spray
Off the coast of Cape Trafalgar
Fifty ships sail into the fray
England Expects Every man will do his duty
England Expects Every man will play his part
England Expects
Every man will serve his country England Expects
Every man will play his part
Allied ships in line Laying in wait Nelson presses on Not taking their bait
Hearts begin to pound as guns are prepared The signals are raised high

She's Alive
04:25

Miles and miles we walk together, stumbling over jagged rocks and glass There’s danger here there’s danger there
You led us to this darkened place of doom
Light is fading out, anxiety and fear Something here is hiding, awaiting somewhere near
We can’t turn back now
Can you hear the breathing of the monster waiting patient in the dark?
A thousand eyes will be watching every move
You won’t be running anywhere when she will pierce her venom through your heart Paralysed, there’s nothing you can do
Escape her if you can, try to make it out of there alive
She’s alive
Oversized and underfed, the creature cannot wait now for the feast
Tearing through your skin and bone Cry out, you’re all alone with the beast
Running for your life, she’s catching up with you Don’t try to win the fight, keep going till you’re through
Why now can’t I move?
I’m in a dream, I’m not awake This cannot be how I meet my fate
Wrapping tighter, it’s crushing me Her fangs are sharp, she’s cutting me Saliva dripping down my back
I’m gonna have a heart attack!
Can you hear the screaming of the monster waiting patient in the dark?
No-one’s here, no-one can hear you scream
You won’t be running anywhere when she will pierce her venom through your heart Legend tells of the one who lurks in the night
She’s alive!

Born to a kingdom that was lost, the lord of all that was Bound by a need, blind to his greed and the cost
Those who made a choice of animus Answer the call, to fight and to fall Death it awaits for us all
We bring the heart of the mountain horde We break their hearts
We bring the heart of the mountain horde We break their hearts
If we live or we die, when unearthed in stone we will take as a sign One man alone, his rule is divine
When they sing of our time in the halls made of stone Of an unbroken line
One man alone, his rule is divine His rule is divine
The curse it remains upon the horde Stain of the one who did brood for so long All could share the wealth of the dwarves But by the hammer, is a peace ever forged?
We bring the heart of the mountain horde We break their hearts
We bring the hammer of our gods to bear They count the cost

Flight Of The Intruder
04:29
|

This is a time of war
But there’s no glory to be found
We sit cocooned in our floating fortress
Till the sun begins to fade
I know I’m just a pawn Just a puppet for a suited thug
I know something has got to change So tonight I’m going my own way
Day after day after day after day Wasting bombs and wasting blood Night after night after night after night Risking lives just to move mud
But tonight, we’re really gonna fight Yeah tonight, tonight it’s the flight
Flight of the intruder
Catapulted away
North to SAM city Hanoi
We scream into the night
Like eagles bound for glory
Day after day after day after day I’ve waited for this night to come
Night after night after night after night Planned this raid by reading light
But tonight, we gave it all our might Yeah tonight, tonight it’s the flight
Flight of the intruder
As we start to close in
We see what we came here for As our bombs fall away
Time for an explosive fireworks display
Flight of the intruder

Warrior's Choice
05:30

His final hour, drawing close
The coming battle, a thousand souls Heavy weighs the smell of fear
All around him death is near
A man of knowledge, a man of peace
These are his virtues and he cannot be beseeched
The duty of his land is clear
With shaking hands he grasps his spear
No choice for the warrior
No choice for the peasant or the king No choice for the warrior
Forced by the hands of fate to do these things No choice for the warrior
We dance and die on unseen strings
The press of battle The sword it sings
Here lies the peasant, and the warrior, the king
They are damned to join the flood Metal clashing, crushing wood

A Song For Denethor
03:21
|

Fly now!
In the morning comes the failing light of day Osgiliath a ruin lays
Ride now!
Gondor’s captain fallen and his armour rent The blood of Numenor is all but spent
Faramir lies stricken and could die within the day
As the strength of men it fails, his father turns away
No long slow sleep of death embalmed for Denethor The glory of his line burns cold
Turning from the westering sun He knows his doom will come
We will burn like the heathen kings
Of old
Fly now!
On the morning of the fight his will has failed But he a wise man once was hailed
Ride now!
What twisted visions has the seeing stone revealed Sauron’s weakness it conceals, in flames
He fears he is betrayed But the beacons they are lit
Gondor calls for aid
No long slow sleep of death embalmed for Denethor The glory of his line burns cold
There is strength in Gondor’s son To see his captain’s will is done
We will burn like the heathen kings We will burn like the heathen kings We will burn like the heathen kings Of old
