1. Patient Zero

I breathe alone, my skin
begins to peel
Forsaken in my misery
to battle this ordeal

I can't resist the cravings,
no I have to ease the pain
My screaming brain is melting slowly,
turning me insane

Devastation all across the nation
Infected, but I am not alone
My days are numbered but I am a patient
From zero the counting has begun

I resist resistance, I survive the
hangman's noose
Future looks sinister,
I'm a zombie on the loose

Cuz I feed in darkness,
I feast in broad daylight
Whatever you do, better hold on
tight and stay out of my sight

Evacuation all across the nation
Infected, but I am not alone
Our days are numbered
and we are patient
To zero the countdown has begun

We exist but our hearts don't beat
The streets, our sacred haven
Fight or flee
don't waste another round

[Solo: Pontus]

We exist, but our eyes run red
The dead will feast upon you
Aiming high, don't chocke
or you'll be downed

Retribution a suicide solution
Infected but you are not alone
All lives are numbered
and we are all patient
To zero the countdown has begun

2. Bang Your Head

In 1981, the metal struck like thunder
The harmonious noise all linked in one voice
A croon across the nation

My soul was ripped and torn and I couldn't
resist the power
The music I heard, the thunderous words
My gate to liberation

It made us rock it made us lose
our self control

Bang Your Head - Stand United

It was the spark, the flame, setting our
hearts on fire
Creating our dreams, our lives
and our means
We're howling' with desire

We came to rock we came
to lose our self control

Bang Your Head - Stand United

The years kept passing by
No wind of change could bring us down
Cuz we are one my friend
We stand together 'til the end
This is our destiny
Our will, our life our honored crown
Our dreams is ours to dream
Our beat's out beat forevermore

[Solo: Pontus / Oscar / Pontus / Both]

Now, Templars, bang your heads and unite

It made us rock it made us roll forever more

Bang Your Head - Stand United
Bang Your Head - Stand United

Bang Your Head!

3. One More Time

Saints - From heaven
Hell hang-arounds - Decending
Disciples of repression
Fuse - Our evil
Exterminate - Protectors
Bringing us down to the ground
And pushing us back to the...

Final frontier, wedlock in the grime
Cry a thousand tears, battle one more time

One more time
One more time
One more time
One more time

Pray - Steel demons
Don't look away - Tormentors
Traverse the darkened heavens
Seek - Our wicked
Seek and destroy - Opponents
Soldiers of heaven and hell

Hey - We're fighting
Eye for an eye - Protecting
Our mother earth, dissecting
Break - Their evil
Ruin the core - Allegiance
Vengeance is now in our hands
Vengeance
Pushing us back to the...

Final frontier, buried in the grime
Cry a thousand tears, battle one more time

One more time
One more time

[Solo: Oscar / Pontus]

Final frontier, the judgement bell will chime
No wasted years, "stand up" one more time

One more time
One more time
One more time
One more time
One more time
One more time
One...more......time

4. The Outlaw

It started with the holy water rising to a boil
The crops went bad, no life coul breed,
beneath the rotten soil
Imprisoned for his make beliefs,
impending dire views
Became accountable for every flaw,
spread the news

Disturbing dreams of the future - reverie
Seven flights of imagination

These taunting dreams no one could read
or even understand
Desilutions of insanity, banned from his fatherland
Just leave the ship and swim ashore life's hanging by a thread
Days of mass destruction, hamrageddon, lies ahead

Disrurbing dreams of the future -reverie
Seven flights of imagination

Bring out the Outlaw, how do you plead
To the allegation
Bring out the Outlaw, charge him, decree
Eternal damnation

So, seven years of devastation followed in the land
One for every prophecy, served by tha almighty hand
The outlaw was imprisoned for scattering his dreams
None stood up to hold his ground, spineless so it seems
Disturbing dreams of the future - reverie
Seven flights of imagination

Bring out the Outlaw, could you forsee
The allegation
Bring out the Outlaw, charge him, decree
Eternal damnation

A life could be saved, if someone stood up for his rights
Now cursed and condemned, mistreated on his last nocturnal flight

[Solo: Pontus]

Bring out the Outlaw, how do you plead
To the allegation
Bring out the Outlaw, charge him, decree
Eternal damnation

Call for the Outlaw, help us forsee
God's allegation
Call for the Outlaw, charge us, decree
Eternal damnation

5. Send Me A Sign

 

Snow keeps falling down
From grace in the dark
Frozen tears in silent cries

Oh, oh, oh...
Sadness, now color the battle field
All around, life passing by

Falling from my eyes
Like a raindrop from the skies
Falling from my eyes
Oh, oh...

So Send me a Sign
Just a way to explain
Tell me what I can do
I'm turning insane

So Send me a Sign
Show me what I should do
Only one wish to tell
A word sincerely signed just for you

Winter paved ny way, couldn't see nor believe
I watched the snow highlighting my grief

Oh, oh, oh...
Sadness, I long for the sun to shine
Please melt the ice wrapped around my heart

Falling from my eyes
Like a raindrop from the skies
Falling from my eyes
Oh, oh...

So Send me a Sign
Just a way to explain
Tell me what I can do
I'm turning insane

So Send me a Sign
Show me what I should do
Only one wish to tell
A word sincerely signed just for you

6. Dia De Los Muertos

Light up the candles and open the gate
The bell is ringing for the souls with no fate
Our little angels, all lost in this world

Death is transcending, they will ressurect
Not from their grave, but they've come to collect
In danza macabra, the dance of the dead

We honor the souls, we praise the departed
Now lo calavera catrina is glowing
The eyes of the skull bursting into a blaze

All of the damned - dia de los muertos
All of the damned - los angelitos, los innocentes
So listen, beware, remember what they said
That life is best enjoyed after death

There is a place where the evil can rest
Let's draw a circle and take out their nest
Into the fire, we all been mislead

Battle is raging prepare to attack
Made out of fire they clobber my back
The living and dead in a final ballet

Let's summon the dead,
We all stand together
But we thought the spirits
Would rest on this day
How could we be so blind,
Stop the dance start the slay

All of the damned - dia de los muertos
All of the damned - los angelitos, los innocentes
So listen, beware, remember what they said
That life is best enjoyed after death

[Solo: Oscar / Both]

7. I Refuse

My guard is down, accept my invitation
But don't waste my time, with your slandering lies

Cuz my dream is my dream
All based on my revelations
Extreme, but not mean
And I'll stand the test of time

You say you like me, your my friend, but I got stabbed in the back
Remove that smile and wash the blood off your hands

I Refuse, I Refuse

You call my name, but you don't know me
Say I'm insane, but who's to blame

Cuz I'll scream and I'll scream
And I'm building up a reputation
I esteem by all means
Cuz I swim against the stream

You turn the page and write the story of a life you don't know
My sword is sharp and mighter than your pen

I Refuse, I Refuse

I Refuse, I Refuse
Refuse to be something that I'm not

[Solo: Pontus]

I Refuse, I Refuse
I Refuse, I Refuse

I Refuse, I Refuse
Refuse to be something that I'm not

8. 666 - The Enemy Within

As I wake up from my slumber
From a deep, enchanted sleep
There’s a pain, there’s a mark, there’s a wound
The trail of blood is running deep

There’s an echo in the mirror,
Of a man I don’t know
Starring back at the scar on my neck
And the numbers are Screaming...

Six, six, six, grab the holy crucifix
Skies turn red high above the river Styx

Kneeling down in desperation
As I start to speak in tongues
When I praise the old man down below
I recite the mantra

Six, six, six, twist the holy crucifix
Grab the oars scull across the river Styx

It’s the evil in me
The enemy within my soul the subjugator

[Solo: Oscar]

Six, six, six
get the holy crucifix
Throw it in
into Acheron on Styx

[Solo: Pontus]

Six, six, six
sinking like a tons of bricks
One way pass
over Acheron and Styx

It’s the evil in me
The enemy within my soul the subjugator

9. Immortalized

Heed the war cry for glory
Hear them calling your name
Hold your ground, show no mercy
For freedom in anger, now maim

Another angel is dying - Falling
His entry to heaven denied - Falling from the skies
Predestined to walk and fend in the darkness - Fortune
Reveal the gates of hell - Hex, Immortalized

The fallen, they walk all among us - Angels
Their broken wings will not bear - Angels in disguise
Etrnal dawn, in torment and anguish - Dawning
Bound to stagger this land - Hex, Immortal

[Solo: Oscar / Pontus]

We walk the line, we stand alone eternally
We're cursed to live, we cannot die, Immortalized

[Solo: Oscar]

Time goes by, now the angels feed the eternal flame
Stand your ground, cursed immortal
The Hex is now stuck to your name

10. Let's Get It On

Standing alone, it's the ultimate proving ground
As real as it gets, we are soldiers of one-man armies

Burning inside, hear the audience scream
We've got a yearning inside to fulfill our destiny

The lights go down, no more fears
The crowd goes wild, music to our ears

Get it on
Let's Get it On - It on
Come on, get it on - It on
Let's Get it On - It on
Come on, get it on

[Solo: Oscar]

Nowhere to run, like an animal caged and cornered
Standing so proud, it's the life we have chosen

(We do what) We were bred to do, were trained to do
We live to do
what we were born to do

Get it on
Let's Get it On - It on
Come on, get it on - It on
Let's Get it On - It on
Come on, get it on

[Solo: Pontus]

Pulled from the ashes and forged from tradition
The essence of power, behold demolition

Are you ready?
Are you ready? - Get!
Are you ready? - It!
Are you ready? - On!

Come on, get it on

Let's get it on
Come on, get it on

Get it on
Let's Get it On - It on
Come on, get it on - It on
Let's Get it On - It on
Come on, get it on
Let's get it on
Come on, get it on

11. Redemption

I gave up my life
To follow another destiny
To find the hidden sun
The source of the spark and the flame

Now the universe is closed
Let the blackening, dissolution start
The aether shining, impurified
Let's burnout the vile from the dark

I kneel down and pray
The elements gather around me
Envision my destined path
I can no longer avoid
I see the...

Black sun rising
Fall, material god
Opus Magnum
Seize Redemption

My uprising
Find the sun and the moon
Absolution
Seize Redemption

Unification, the spiritualized will unlock the gate be unlimited
Unification of man and his god will limit your life lock the gate

[Solo: Oscar / Pontus]

Now the elements are at peace
Come the reddening, gaze upon the sky
Seven planets, silver and gold
The seven metals aligned
And now the...

Black sun rising
Fall, material god
Opus Magnum
Seize Redemption

My uprising
Find the sun and the moon
Absolution
Seize Redemption

1. Any Means Necessary

I won't pull the trigger

Just to see you die
No remedy to make me come alive

I'm ticking like a timebomb,

(Need) no fuse, just guts and gore

No mercy, have mercy, no mercy on your soul

Kill by any means necessary

Live by any means necessary
Die by any means necessary

I am not judgemental
A sinner nor a saint
Cause either you're my best friend or you ain't

Come gather here around me
feel my breath under your skin
I'm deadly, only when I'm getting caught

Counting down to zero, I'm a soldier without soul
No mercy, have mercy, no mercy on your soul

Win by any means necessary
Live by any means necessary
Die by any means necessary

2. Life Is Now

6 am, we still rush along
The open road and we're feeling strong
Another town - HEY! - just lay it down, down to the ground
Only our way, or the highway straight to hell

Never give up, never give in
Always ride out the storms, so fight
Never give up, never give in
It's your life make it right

Our life is not a fashion - Life is Now
Pedal to the metal - Life is Now
Our life is based on passion
And we live our lives the way we want

Hit the lights, time to bring it on
Ten thousand fists, they can not be wrong
We've come to slam - HEY! - the hammer down, never lose the game
Please come inside, do not be afraid, ain't no requiem

Never give up, never give in
Only one way to shout and scream
Never give up, never give in
Please take hold of your dream

Our life is not a fashion - Life is Now
Pedal to the metal - Life is Now
Our life is based on passion - Life is Now
And we live our lives the way we want

[Solo: Pontus]

Our life is not a fashion
Pedal to the metal
Our life is based on passion
And we live our lives the way we want

Our life is not a fashion
Pedal to the metal
Our life is based on passion
And we live our lives the way we want

Our life is not a fashion - Life is Now
Pedal to the metal - Life is Now
Our life is based on passion - Life is Now
And we live our lives the way we want - Life is Now

Our life is not a fashion - Life is Now
Pedal to the metal - Life is Now
Our life is based on passion - Life is Now
And we live our lives the way we want

Never give up, oh, never give in
This is your life, a thing you can't set aside


3. Punish And Enslave

It's midnight, the clock strikes twelve
When the beasts come out and play
The headlines made it clear
Judgement day is near

They're crawling down the street
Sinking their razor teeth
They're knocking on every door
Now the steel begins to glow

They're vaporizing the earth, no mercy
Into the battle they thrust
With power and lust

Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh...
Punish and Enslave
Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh...
Punish and Enslave

There's something, a single spark
Out there in the dark
The metal is shining bright
Brings back hope and light

Bumber-to-bumber he reigns the wasteland
Turning their steel into dust, he will never rust

Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh...
Punish and Enslave
Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh...
Punish and Enslave

[Solo: Pontus]

All hail the chosen one - Fight proud, don't touch the sun
Come join our steel parade - Together in the last crusade
All drop the hammers down - Burn out, reclaim the crown
Speed demons never turn - at speed of light we ride, running flat-out let's crash and burn

They're vaporizing the earth, no mercy
Into the battle they thrust
Bumber-to-bumber he reigns the wasteland
Turning their steel into dust, he will never rust

Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh...
Punish and Enslave
Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh...
Punish and Enslave

Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh...
Punish and Enslave
Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh...
Punish and Enslave


4. Legion
The war still remains
No Kingdom on earth
There's only pure evil, indifference to birth

In the tombs of the dead
One man breeds alone
The unearthly warfare shadows the throne

Three temptations written down
The Lust of flesh, lust of the eyes
Finally the pride of life

The Demon Twelve, the hell hounds
My name is Legion, for we are many spirits inside of one
To build a land of chaos, brought forth from the Abyss
My name is Legion, and we bring destruction and death

Possessing his soul
The curse of the damned
A tormented victim, to the bottom he's slammed

One man stands alone
Tripped, under a spell
Encounter your demons, send them to Hell

No temptations left to fend
Sanctified, Anti Christ
Casting shadows towards the cross

The Demon Twelve, the hell hounds
My name is Legion, for we are many spirits inside of one
To build a land of chaos, brought forth from the Abyss
My name is Legion, and we bring destruction and death

[Solo: Pontus, Oscar, Pontus, Oscar, Pontus, Oscar, Pontus, Oscar, Pontus, Oscar]

The Demon Twelve, the hell hounds
My name is Legion, for we are many spirits inside of one
To build a land of chaos, brought forth from the Abyss
My name is Legion, and we bring destruction and death


5. Between Two Worlds

In the distant maze, I see two doors
One leads to change, one leads to where I've been before
I am an angel, on broken wings
I am the beast, the devil and all in between
Nothing at all

It's never dark here, it's never light
Feeling like I'm caught between two worlds
Between two worlds

When the night comes down, the blade comes out
I wish, I wish, I wish I felt something at all
Nothing's wrong or right, nor black or white
Behind the hurt I see the lust come shining through
What do I do

Just like the rainbow, between mist and sun
Feeling like I'm trapped between two worlds
Between two worlds

[Solo: Oscar]

Never laugh or smild, I never cry
My mind is numb, and I can't take it anymore
Screaming in frustration, no sound is heard
Am I asleep, or am I starring in a dream
Please wake me up

Sometimes the hunter, sometimes the prey
Feeling like I'm trapped, lost and never found
Feeling like I'm caught between two worlds
Without a home


6. Hallowed Be My Name

I cover the trail behind me, stay out of the light
There's something alive in the darkness
I can feel the power and it's might

For years I have walked in the shadows
banned for my believes
Cause around me the walls are falling
Bridges burn, in flames without a spark

Cause I'm searching high and low
Through dark places I must go
I am the one you should not blame
Hallowed be my Name - My Name

There's no place for me in heaven, nor a place in hell
Sentenced to walk here forever
This will be my final place to dwell

I walk alone, no legions will follow my path
A stranger to my own shadow
But something's wrong I can feel it to the bone

When I stand on sea and shore
Storms will rage and oceans roar
I raise my hammer, take my aim
Hallowed be my Name - My Name

[Solo: Oscar, Pontus]

Vultures fly, the ravens cry
No stars are shining on the darkened sky
One allegiance, sun and moon
My eyes are red my soul is turning into black

When I stand on sea and shore
Storms will rage and oceans roar
I raise my hammer, take my aim
Cause Hallowed be my Name

You can lie and crush my heart
Steal my soul, tear me apart
Still it's something you can not claim
Hallowed be my Name - My Name


7. Something For The Ages

[instrumental]


8. No Sacrifice, No Victory

Sacrifice - Victory
No Sacrifice - No Victory

Once there was gold at the end of the rainbow
Honored by blood we kept searching for more
Light turned to dark as we lost what we fought for
Now we have come to settle the score

Sacrifice - Victory
No Sacrifice - No Victory

Light, brings us light on the pale darkened heavens
Lead us towards our vast victory
Fighting for all that we brothers believe in
Together, united we're standing all for one

On our pathway to glory, we stand together honored by blood
Sacrifice our resplendence, we fight for freedom, hold our grounds forever
By the code we are living, we are breathing, and then we die
Sacrifice our own lives, but we'll never stand to lose our pride and glory

[Solo: Pontus]

In the end only truth will survive, no matter what you sacrifice
So you can't harvest your glory all based on deceit, cause no one will swallow your lies

On our pathway to glory, we stand together honored by blood
Sacrifice our resplendence, we fight for freedom, hold our grounds forever
By the code we are living, we are breathing, and then we die
Sacrifice our own lives, but we'll never stand to lose our pride and glory

Sacrifice - Victory
Sacrifice - Victory
Victory


9. Bring The Hammer Down

There was a time when we were noble soldiers
Fearless and wild, a fight just to survive
Reformed our troops, one flag one worlds united
Under the sun the powers came alive

The sound of our cause, the meaning of life
Beyond stars and skies
Now raise your hands and let it all come out

Bring the Hammer Down
Slam it down to the ground
One flag, one world united

Templars, fight or fall
Raise your fists, heed the call
Bring the Hammer Down, behold the light

The future holds nothing but pain and sorrow
No painted skies, we dwell in black and white
Just live your life, like there is no tomorrow
Present today, forgotten before dawn

Still counting the stars, in search for a way
The meaning of life
Now raise your hands before your time runs out

Bring the Hammer Down
Slam it down to the ground
One flag, one world united

Templars, fight or fall
Raise your fists, heed the call
Bring the Hammer Down, behold the light

[Solo: Pontus, Stefan, both]

Bring the Hammer Down
Slam it down to the ground
One flag, one world united

Templars, fight or fall
Raise your fists, heed the call
Bring the Hammer Down, behold the light


10. One Of A Kind

Rising forces, thunder in the east
No fearless warrior could subdue the beast
No gallant man around could stand and hold his ground

Days passed by and weeks turned into years
Every drip of hope became a sea of fears
Somewhere in the dark, a light or just a spark

Brothers in arms fighting one for all
Fearless and wild we stand tall, one of a kind
No turning back, brothers fight or fall
Standing together, we fight, one of a kind

Years of darkness all torn by fate's hand
A nation cursed, once glorious and grand
From the ashes we will rise, like a Phoenix to the skies

Brothers in arms fighting one for all
Fearless and wild we stand tall, one of a kind
No turning back, brothers fight or fall
Standing together, we fight, one of a kind

[Solo: Oscar]

Come take my hand, don't leave me here all alone
Come make a stand, don't let us all fade away, fade away

[Solo: Pontus]

1666 - We stood in the valley of death
Steel in our hands, the final command
To cure and to heal our nation

Mighty warriors - mount up don't stare at the ground
Hold your heads high, resist and defy
Fighting, defending, we're screaming, avenging you all
We're standing all for one for all
One voice we're one of a kind, we are
Never look back, never surrender

We're fighting all for one for all
One heart, we're one of a kind, we are
Cause we are here and we are fighting

Brothers in arms fighting one for all
Fearless and wild we stand tall, one of a kind
No turning back, brothers fight or fall
Standing together, we fight, one of a kind

Fighting, defending, we're screaming, avenging you all

One of a kind


11. My Sharona

Oh. my little pretty one, ah pretty one

1. Threshold

There are clouds on the horizon.
Shifting colors, heavy rain.
High above the roaring thunder.
Shooting bullets through your brain.
There's something wicked left behind.
A befell sight, a calming, sinister state of your mind.

Behold the skies; the port of heaven takes the stairway down to hell.
The gate is open lift the curse.
We set aside our dreams, ambitions; we are one we will unite.
At the Threshold of the universe.
We will rise!

Late at night they heard the sirens.
From a place so far away.
A light forces mighty brethren in a vesture of decay.
They are the legions of the night.
Turning darkness into... turning the dark into light.

Behold the skies; the port of heaven takes the stairway down to hell.
The gate is open lift the curse.
We set aside our dreams, ambitions; we are one we will unite.
At the Threshold of the universe, universe.
We will rise!

[Solo: Stefan]

Behold the skies; the port of heaven takes the stairway down to hell.
The gate is open lift the curse.
We set aside our dreams, ambitions; we are one we will unite.
At the Threshold of the universe.

Behold the skies; the port of heaven takes the stairway down to hell.
The gate is open lift the curse.
We set aside our dreams, ambitions; we are one we will unite.
At the Threshold of the universe, universe, universe, universe.


2. The Fire Burns Forever

Fire, burns. Fire, burns. Fire, Burns.

You danced with the devil.
Now your soul is bruised and scarred.
There ain't no pride and dignity.
We've been down the rusty boulevard.
You lived your life, thought you'd be immortalized.
The moral of your story, what goes up must come back down.

Fire, burns.
The Fire Burns Forever.
Fire, burns.
The Fire Burns Forever More.

A moment of silence.
Just before you hit the stage.
This is your day of reckoning.
To pay back all the dues and turn the page.
You hit rock bottom and you stood the count to ten.
Came back to harvest glory, now your star will shine forever.

Fire, burns.
The Fire Burns Forever.
Fire, burns.
The Fire Burns Forever More.

Fire, burns.
The Fire Burns Forever.
Fire, burns.
The Fire Burns Forever More.

'Cause every step, the light races follow.
'Cause every move we make, might be our last mistake.

Fire, burns.
The Fire Burns Forever.
Fire, burns.
The Fire Burns Forever More.

Fire, burns.
The Fire Burns Forever.
Fire, burns.
The Fire Burns Forever More.

Fire, fire, burn.


3. Rebel Inside

A battle with pride and ego.
A journey that started long ago.
Life time of passion and war.

4. Natural High

Last night I had a vivid dream.
I found a place where nothing’s what it seems.
I’m bound to walk this earth alone.
I am a hunter and the heir to the throne.

The chase of blood and sweet revenge.
It keeps on hammering in my head.
The urge to kill is getting stronger.
I’m south of heaven, north of hell.
My final place to rest.

Surrender your soul.
Surrender your pride.
Please enter my dream.
Find your natural high.
You’ve got nothing to fear.
Cause your rebirth is near.

The battle rages deep inside.
No where to run for my eternal bride.
And when the darkness comes around.
I come alive cause, glorious we, by blood I am bound.

I taste your blood so bitter sweet.
Come ease my pain get on your knees.
You know throughout is meant to be.
Forever missed out what it seems.
This is your final scream.

Surrender your soul.
Surrender your pride.
Please enter my dream.
Find your natural high.
You’ve got nothing to fear.
Cause your rebirth is near.

So you are born again.
To a higher plane.
In my dark lair you’re part of the game.
Forever we are, forever we’ll be.
We’re forever free.

[Solo: Stephan]

[Solo: Oscar]

Surrender your soul.
Surrender your pride.
Please enter my dream.
Find your natural high.
You’ve got nothing to fear.
Cause your rebirth is near.


5. Dark Wings, Dark Words

It's been a long cold winter, widespread snowfall, raging storms.
Caught in winds delusions, of our heart and soul.
He came down from the mountains, into our own frozen world.
Spoke of revolution, fed us with his words.
A sacred man, from the other side.
He gave us something to believe in.
How could we be so blind?

His right hand gave us freedom, while the other stole the pride.
Thought he had the answers, standing by his side.
Tales of a world, not so far away.
We got entangled in his vows.
How could we be so blind?

When the sun and moon unite.
Fear Dark Winged messenger, dread his darkened words.

[Solo: Stefan]

A graven image shattered, a meltdown of our wonderland.
As the sun raised slowly, we tried to understand.
A sacred heart, lost prosperity.
But we found a way back home.
From dusk came clarity.

When the sun and moon unite.
Fear the*Dark Winged messenger, dread his darkened words.

When the sun and moon unite.
Fear the Dark Winged messenger, dread his darkened words.


6. Howlin´ With The ´Pac

There is a crying in the nightfall.
There is a howling in the wind.
And when the urge is getting stronger.
We hit the streets, the city calls.
The night is free for all.
We rule the dark and we do as we please.
And nothing can stop us.
No time to catch some Z's.

Howlin' With The 'Pac.
Fighting for the right to be.
Howlin' With The 'Pac.
Templars of the first degree.

We never minded any warnings.
Or asked directions from the stars.
And when the moon stops it's ascending.
We feel the rush, the inner glow.
The crimson will flow.
We have the might, and the power to succeed
And nothing can stop us.
'Cause we're the restless breed.

Howlin' With The 'Pac.
Fighting for the right to be.
Howlin' With The 'Pac.
Templars of the first degree.

And when our allegiance is falling down.
We will crawl back from hell.
Reclaim the crown.
The sign is shining for us.
Its glow will lead us on our way.
When we are led astray.
No, no!

[Stefan: Solo]

[Oscar: Solo]

We rule the dark and we do as we please.
And nothing can stop us.
No time to catch some Z's.

Howlin' With The 'Pac.
Fighting for the right to be.
Howlin' With The 'Pac.
Templars of the first degree.

Howlin' With The 'Pac.
Fighting for the right to be.
Howlin' With The 'Pac.
Templars of the first degree.


7. Shadow Empire

As I open up my eyes.
I see a face I don't recognize.
If the mirror tells the truth.
Then who the hell am I?
I scan the surface I am low.
What arises from above.
Everything I can't detect.
Not a thing I will deflect.

Countdown, I'm coming through.
And the vengeance, and the taker.
And the one, that shining sun.

Shadow Empire.
Shadow Empire.
The rise of the machine.
Shadow Empire.
Shadow Empire.
They rise up from the graves, to steal our dreams.

I see the world in infrared.
Hear the voices of the dead.
I'm half man and half machine.
The essence of your dream.
Soon the judgement bell will toll.
We'll take back everything they stole.
And then judge the hammer fall.
Liberty and metal for all.

Countdown, your time has come.
And the vengeance, you're in danger.
You're the one, let justice be done.

Shadow Empire.
Shadow Empire.
The rise of the machine.
Shadow Empire.
Shadow Empire.
They rise up from the graves, to steal our vivid dreams.

In my heart there is always winter.
Can not rest until I found the master key.
The master key of trust.
In my mind the arctic wind blows.
Can not sleep I can not rest before the dawn brings back the light.
Light of day.

[Solo: Stefan]

Shadow Empire.
Shadow Empire.
The rise of the machine.
Shadow Empire.
Shadow Empire.
They rise up from the graves, to steal our vivid dreams.


8. Carved In Stone

There's silence, in the dark.
There's the fire, ready to start.
Stone pages, inked by fury.
The exception of the damned.

They are calling, out my name.
Come join us and carry the flame.
Our precious time, is standing still.
When the future meets the past.

No freedom, no glory.
There's no future, no past.

This will be our one last wish, one last dream.
When you follow the masses, or follow your own.
One last chance, one last dream.
Before your future will be, Carved In Stone.

I remember, what they said.
I still hear them, inside me head.
The legions of damnation.
They keep calling out my name.

The wind blows, forever.
But the time standing still.

This will be our one last wish, one last dream.
When you follow the masses, or follow your own.
One last chance, one last dream.
Before your future will be, Carved In Stone.

Knock, knock on my door.
Please revoke what you're asking for.

One last wish, one last dream.
When you follow the masses, or follow your own.
One last chance, one last dream.
Before your future will be...

One last wish, one last dream. (Carved In Stone)
When you follow the masses, or follow your own.
One last chance, one last dream. (Carved In Stone)
Before your future will be, Carved In Stone.


9. Reign Of The Hammer

[Instrumental]


10. Genocide

Once there was a time when we were standing
Back to back against the whole conception
Once we had it all the world was our pleasure dome

Times were changing fast, our dreams were fading
Black, the darkness fell on our creation
Time was running out, we were falling one by one

We live by honour - We fight for freedom
We die but you can't slay our pride

[Chorus:]
Behind these walls, we deem, take a hold of the dream
To live our lives as we please - Metal Genocide
No fear, we know the end is near
One day we will retaliate - Genocide

Fall, mighty Babylon, your might is declining
Fast, you're on your knees repent your sinning
Fall beyond the realms of hell, we are born again

We live by honour - We fight for freedom
We die but you can't slay our pride

[Chorus]

[Solo: Stefan]

[Chorus x2]


11. Titan

The gate is closed, the sky is burning.
Dark clouds of claw set in.
A world at war, no revelation could help predict a mankind fall.
Somewhere above, the unpolluted skies, we'll be resurrected.
What have we done? We payed the highest price.
No shelter for the undeserving masses.

Standing in line for a final journey.
Into space and beyond.
A final sigh, a breath of hope we gather, heed the eternal call.
Counting the stars, we pull the shortest straw, life is fading rapidly.
Nothing remains, a withered devil's claw.
Soul survivors picking up the pieces.

Titan.
Even the dark has a silver lining.
Titan.
Shining bright so far beyond the sun.

So this is a new beginning.
So far away, so far away.

We leave the past behind us.
No turning back, no turning back.

Titan.
Even the dark has a silver lining.
Titan, Titan.
Shining bright so far beyond the sun.
Titan.
Even the dark has a silver lining.
Titan, Titan.
Shining bright so far beyond the sun.

We will fly.
We're flying into space.
Fly, fly away.
We're flying into space.

1. Secrets

Charge intn the vein
Like a needle for the pain
Thunderbolts clashing down
A new sound across the land

Force we are the pawns
Conveying a new dawn
Hear the screams, feel the force
In a symphony of steel

Across the universe
Embracing all mankind

There's something in our hearts worth fighting for
Some Secrets better left untold
And when the time has come for us to die
We'll take the Secrets to the grave

No, here they stand
The resistance, hand in hand
When you think we are gone
We will rise a brand new dawn

Across the universe
Embracing all mankind

There's something in our hearts worth fighting for
Some Secrets better left untold
And when the time has come for us to die
We'll take the Secrets to the grave

[Solo: Stefan]

[Solo: Oscar]

[Solo: Both]

Charge, hear the screams
It's the fear of the unseen
Force, no remorse
It's a symphony of steel

Across the universe
It all remains the same
You can't break a metal heart
And it's far too wild to tame

There's something in our hearts worth fighting for
Some Secrets better left untold
And when the time has come for us to die
We'll take the Secrets to the grave


2. Blood Bound

Countdown, descending down to zero
Bursting into flames
Can't you see the coming of a hero
On this enchanting day

So stand up and be counted
In the solar glance in the desert sand
No longer the hunted
United we are 'till the day we fall

A chain unbreakable
Every link is allied to our mighty vow

We're Blood Bound - We aim for the sun
The luminous moon will take us high over ground
We're Blood Bound - Collecting the stars
We hold a power that is greater than all
We're Blood Bound

Watch out, the heathen's all around us
Always watch you back
We've got a lust for freedom
Whatever they say we know we'll stay

We are indestructible
And no matter what happens we will rise above

We're Blood Bound - We aim for the sun
The luminous moon will take us high over ground
We're Blood Bound - Collecting the stars
We hold a power that is greater than all
We're Blood Bound

Look into my eyes
Tell me what is hidden deep inside
Chains about to break
It's the everlasting freedom for us all

[Solo: Stefan]

We're Blood Bound - We aim for the sun
The luminous moon will take us high over ground
We're Blood Bound - Collecting the stars
We hold a power together

We're Blood Bound - We aim for the sun
The luminous moon will take us high over ground
We're Blood Bound - Collecting the stars
We hold a power together - Blood Bound
Power forever - Blood Bound
Power - We're Blood Bound

3. Fury Of The Wild

Sighs - The fury has electrified my mind
Sighs - The hatred burns inside by the mark of vengeance I will grind

Sighs - The sound of metal falling to the ground
Sighs - By blood we will unite by blood we are forever bound

Vengeance calling me
Oh, please set me free
The Fury of the Wild
Locked up in this cage
Can't you feel the rage?
The Fury of the Wild

Sighs - Your silence will not sanctify your crime
Sighs - When revolution calls I will be the first in line

Vengeance calling me
Oh, please set me free
The Fury of the Wild
Locked up in this cage
Can't you feel the rage?
The Fury of the Wild

[Solo: Stefan]

Now as you stand on your own
With the future, face to face
Take a look at me now
Feel the fury, taste my rage
Come taste my revenge

Unbent - Unbowed - Unbroken

Vengeance calling me
Oh, please set me free
The Fury of the Wild
Locked up in this cage
Can't you feel the rage?
The Fury of the Wild


4. Hammer Of Justice

You see me but I'm not there
Like the calm before the storm
You hear me, I'm everywhere
In the wind and in the rain

Feel me in every breeze
I'm the chill inside your spine
I'm burning you start to freeze
As you slowly turn around

And down in your hole
Solitary darkness rule
You are forlorn
Cause justice will be mine

Prowling the night
Justice calling - We'll track you down
Justice calling - Ready to strike
Justice calling - Breaking the chains
Hammer of Justice seeking his revenge

Dead man walking by
There's a void inside his eyes
Judgement, a final sigh
Here the screams electrified

As the mirror turns blank
And your essence fades away
Your chapter's closed
Sealed with thunderbolts

Prowling the night
Justice calling - We'll track you down
Justice calling - Ready to strike
Justice calling - Breaking the chains
Strike with the Hammer of Justice
Justice calling - We'll track you down
Justice calling - Ready to strike
Justice calling - Breaking the chains
Hammer of Justice seeking his revenge

I see the injustice everywhere I go
I search for tomorrow and I know you will be there
The hammer of justice holds the key to the future
The bringer of sorrow is the last you'll see

[Solo: Oscar, Stefan]

Justice calling - We'll track you down
Justice calling - Ready to strike
Justice calling - Breaking the chains
Strike with the Hammer of Justice
Justice calling - We'll track you down
Justice calling - Ready to strike
Justice calling - Breaking the chains
Hammer of Justice seeking his revenge

5. Never, Ever

Sitting in my room, staring at the wall, I can't believe it's happening
Once so wonderful, now, life's a twisted kind of reality, a fantasy
Don't know where to begin

Saw your love for me vanish in a single moment of stupidity Nightmare this
may be, but it is not a dream, ooh
I want to scream; a broken heart still bleeds

Never ever talk, never ever smile
Knowing that my life won't be the same Never ever touch, never ever feel
I will never hear you call my name...again

In my dreams I see, see you come to me; a memory of times of old
Waking up, I realize Hell's as cool as ice and the touch of sin did get me in
Nothing burns like the cold
Never ever talk, never ever smile
Knowing that my life won't be the same Never ever touch, never ever feel
I will never hear you call my name
As we sin, so do we suffer
I've fallen from grace, want to turn back time and make it undone

[Solo: Stefan]

Never ever talk, never ever smile
Knowing that my life won't be the same Never ever touch, never ever feel
I will never hear you call my name Never ever talk, never ever smile
All I see: a future full of fear Never ever touch, never ever feel
I can never whisper in your ear...I'm sorry


6. Born To Rule

Lay down your arms this night
Surrender to the power
Embracing your metal heart
On your final walk through the snow

[Solo: Stefan]

A hammer made of steel
From the river of blood
With magic, forged in flames
Delusions, a curse of the damned

What do you see?
Imaginary visions or reality
When you're free
Then you'll see that you are bound to rule

Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule

Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever more
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever

The revolution forced us all to heed the final call
And if tomorrow never comes
Then we will strike the hammer down

[Solo: Stefan]

Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule

Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever more
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever
Forever, forever Rule!


7. The Templar Flame

So where were you when darkness came to life?
Inside a dream that controlled your inner plight
Take a look at me, you've ruined what we had
Inner visions, infrared, it drives me mad

Out of control
The system mounted on the wall
For every soul there's no way out

In this world where nothing lives
The walls are caving in, life's a sin
In this world we have to give
Before we all can see The Templar Flame

Do you believe surveillance is the cure?
The remedy for our insanity
Take a look around and tell me what you see
Souls walking planlessly like you and me

In infrared
Controlling what is left to see
Awake the dead, there's no way out

In this world where nothing lives
The walls are caving in, life's a sin
In this world we have to give
Before we all can see The Templar Flame

You see the words - Speak
In infrared - Speak
You see the words
Damn the machine - Speak
Speak of the flame....The Templar Flame

[Solo: Stefan]

Oh, oh, oh...


8. Imperial



9. Take The Black

The moon is full you can not see
There's something in the air
Sound asleep you're into deep
Protecting your own lair

The lion roar into the night
Yet another foe to slay
Who are you that I see right through
The hunter or the pray?

Too late to hear the final warning
No one can defy the reaper
Voices - Twisted
Calling out your name
Voices - Twisted
Calling for you

Ain't no reason for the rhyme
Take the Black - Ready to attack
Take the Black
Face to face you bide your time
Take the Black - Ready to attack
Take the Black

You though you had it all in there
In your little bag of tricks
Insanity won't set you free
As you cross the river Styx

You're out of time your bridges burn
In the undying flame
We'll nail you down to the ground
For you to bear the shame

Too late to hear the final warning
No one can defy the reaper
Voices - Twisted
Calling out your name
Voices - Twisted
Calling for you

Ain't no reason for the rhyme
Take the Black - Ready to attack
Take the Black
Face to face you bide your time
Take the Black - Ready to attack

[Solo: Stefan]

Voices - Twisted
Calling out your name
Voices - Twisted
Calling for you

Ain't no reason for the rhyme
Take the Black - Ready to attack
Take the Black
Face to face you bide your time
Take the Black - Ready to attack

Ain't no reason for the rhyme
Take the Black - Ready to attack
Take the Black
Face to face you bide your time
Take the Black - Ready to attack


10. Knights Of The 21st Century

Words unspoken, sworn in secrecy
A burning flame for the ones who believe
The prophecy

Revelations from the sun as of the moon
In seven nights we became history
The prophecy

On a cold dark night
We set our sails to search for land so far away
Searching for the truth

There's a howl in the wind
On this mystic trail of water we sail on
The source of youth

And the storm breaks loose on the seven seas
Tag on the signs on the mounting sun

Northern light is shining on for us
Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow
Setting the sails into the future
Leave all your fears and your sorrows

From the mountain side
Came a twisted wind, it brought us new insight
Whispering these words

Come in the midst you'll see
Said a voice, I thought it was the prophecy
The secrecy unheard

And on the violent sea there's tranquillity
We saw the signs on the mountain side

Northern light is shining on for us
Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow
Setting the sails into the future
Leave all your fears and your sorrows

A secret passage never to be found
In front of us a delusion of sight
The prophecy

From the mountains and the rivers down below
A silent breeze, there's a wail in the wind
The prophecy

We've come from a land so far away
We bow down to the words you pray
Storming down the mountain side
No place to go, no place to hide

[Solo: Oscar, Stefan]

Here we stand under of cover the moonlight
Oh, the prophecy was bound to fail
Here we are, nowhere to be found
We're trapped in another world and the journey's just begun

Ah, ah, ah...

Northern light is shining on for us
Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow
Setting the sails into the future
Leave all your fears and your sorrows

Northern light is shining on for us
Breaking the ice in search for tomorrow
Setting the sails into the future
Leave all your fears and your sorrows
