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
2.
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

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
4.
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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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
