1. The Truth

You, people, know the things like greed, and cruelty very well...
You can have the devil on your side, but he won’t help you
Sooner or later you will drown in the Black Water or you will turn to stone...
The Goddess of Death with the golden scythe is patient
You still have time and it’s up to you
If your blood will be the Blood of the Hero
Or if you will lose like the Son of the Wind...
I can tell you only one thing:
“The evil always returns and greed is blind...!


2. Ghost Ship

A ship with three masts, proud between the waves
The land was far away in sight
No captain, no boatswain and his old mates
Knew what will happen this dark night

A ship full of goods, worth more than their lives
They only wanted to survive
People are waiting with greed in their eyes
Dead sailors’ bodies will now dive

Greed knows no bounds
This is the end
We won’t let them forget!

They will not win against nature’s powers
Sailors fighting with shallow grave
When they will crush, their goods will be ours
We know what we say, that’s the law!

Greed knows no bounds
This is the end
We won’t let them forget!

Hoist the flag and ring the bell
We are waiting deep in hell
Broken mast will not stop us
Wild sea, our home!

Some were found by death in the sleeping berth
Dying in the waves, one by one
Others in water trying to catch breath
It is too late, nowhere to run!

A burning fire on the shore is a trap
They don’t care, how many will die
Only the goods, no one wanted to help
Time to look in the darkness’ eye

Greed knows no bounds
This is the end
We won’t let them forget!

The ghost ship will remind you of the sad past
No happy end and no glory
Dead sailors are waiting, taking the rest
You should remember this story!

Greed knows no bounds
This is the end
We won’t let them forget!


3. Blood Of The Heroes

[Defenders Of The Castle Hill]

Walls of the castle were no longer strong
But the enemies will not break ‘em down
He knew it would happen ‘cause the peace was too long
He was sure – the war will begin at night!

With wild hearts and with swords ready to kill
They weren’t afraid – so brave were these knights
They promised to defend the hill and the castle:
“We’re ready to fight! We’re ready to die!”

Blood of the heroes!
We cannot forget
Blood of the heroes!
We will hail their names
Blood of the heroes!
Eternal and proud
Blood of the heroes!
Forever and ever unbound

The land was burning, people were dying
Wind brought there the smell of their burning homes
It was the last time to look at the sky
To find a better place for their souls

“Enemies are standing in our big gates!
I prefer to die than to be a slave!
Yes, we are too weak to fight, it is too late
I’ll follow my brothers…even to hell!”

Blood of the heroes!
We cannot forget
Blood of the heroes!
We will hail their names
Blood of the heroes!
Eternal and proud
Blood of the heroes!
Forever and ever unbound

Now it’s time to look in the eyes of death
To fade away
They lost everything, their lives and homes
In one day...

Blood of the heroes!
We cannot forget
Blood of the heroes!
We will hail their names
Blood of the heroes!
Eternal and proud
Blood of the heroes!
Forever and ever unbound


4. The Greed Is Blind

They lived in poverty
Fed by a vain hope, that it will change
Then there came a stranger
“I will grant all of your wish” he said

Do not you ask?
You will regret it, you’ll see
Do not you ask?
Even if you live unhappily

Your wish came true!
It’s time to pay, you lost eyesight
What shall you do?
Nothing, because the greed is blind

They will sacrifice everything
To achieve fortune and fame
He knows where to go to
But they must be blind to find the right way

Do not you ask?
You will regret it, you’ll see
Do not you ask?
Even if you live unhappily

Your wish came true!
It’s time to pay, you lost eyesight
What shall you do?
Nothing, because the greed is blind

Your wish came true!
It’s time to pay, you lost eyesight
What shall you do?
Nothing, because the greed is blind


5. Sydonia Bork

At one September day
The sword drunk a lot of blood
They passed a judgement on her
‘Cause they thought she cursed their lives

There were only few months left for her to pass away
She was old and tired, but nobody cared

At every moonlit night
Sydonia dresses in white
Walks on the courtyard
Did she forget?
She looks on the riverside
This sight gladdens her heart
Sometimes there is a smile on her face

They tortured her as long
As she admitted her guilt
But before she died
She said who would be next!

Those words brought out the mortal fear
But when Sydonia died, the prophecy turned out to be real!

At every moonlit night
Sydonia dresses in white
Walks on the courtyard
Did she forget?
She looks on the riverside
This sight gladdens her heart
Sometimes there is a smile on her face


6. Goddess Of Death

[Smiertnica]

She rules demons of the earth
She will drive you to despair
If you have ever seen the cold
Emptiness of her eyes

Have you seen the end of the ends?
Queen of death will take you there!
And as a guide in the four worlds
Takes your soul into new home

When your inner flame will disappear
She’ll take you for eternal rest
Deadly omen, deadly spell
And there will be no pain

She keeps the golden scythe in hand
Queen of the darkness, of the dead
Turns your body into dust
If you looked in her cold eyes
You won’t survive!

She takes away all of your fears and pain
Brings the death, takes your soul to the nothingness
Queen of the night will bring eternal dark
Here she comes, a goddess of death

When there’s a mist behind the graveyard’s gates
She waits for the one who will look in the eyes of death
It’s a bad sign if you saw her just one time
It is your last night, you will die!
It is your time

She takes away all of your fears and pain
Brings the death, takes your soul to the nothingness
Queen of the night will bring eternal dark
Here she comes, a goddess of death


7. Night Of The Sin

Sky was rd but stars were shining
She felt someone’s breath behind her
There was something mysterious in the air

Specters, phantoms were around her
She saw it once in one of her dreams
She knew she was the one
They will take her there

There was no escape
It’s her destiny
No, she won’t hide
Tonight, it is the night of the sin!

Black sabbat at midnight
Now she’s one of them
Black sabbat at midnight
She rule the flames

Black sabbat at midnight
Was so real and wild
Black sabbat at midnight
She is the witch, she’s the one

Phantoms were playing on the bones
Witches were dancing with grey ghosts
There were a hundreds of human skulls around

At sunrise it all will end, but
She will wait for the next midnight
When she will b called by the howl of hell’s hound!

There was no escape
It’s her destiny
No, she won’t hide
Tonight, it is the night of the sin!

Black sabbat at midnight
Now she’s one of them
Black sabbat at midnight
She rule the flames

Black sabbat at midnight
Was so real and wild
Black sabbat at midnight
She is the witch, she’s the one


8. Secrets Of The Black Water

[The Devil]
It’s so black
Hot like hell
Unholy water calls for you
Take a look just one time
And all of your dreams will come true
Look into black water!

Come closer! Dance with black waves!
You will live forever
Just one step into black lake
You’ll give me your soul
Come to me! Dance with waves!
We can rule together
One step into black lake
Now you’re mine and there’s no way back!

[The Devil]
I can feel all of your fears
Don’t be afraid, so close you are
Just one step into depth
You know, gates of hell are not far...

Now drown into black water!

[The Young Man]
There’s no way out from here
There’s nothing left for me
All the things that I loved are simply gone
Servant?! Don’t want to be!
I’ll give you back my dreams
But you don’t listen! Why?
What have I done?!

Come closer! Dance with black waves!
You will live forever
Just one step into black lake
You’ll give me your soul
Come to me! Dance with waves!
We can rule together
One step into black lake
Now you’re mine and there’s no way back!


9. Man Of Stone

[Defenders Of The Castle Hill]

Once upon a time there was a man who made a pact
Met with evil spirits every night
He thought it will never stop and he will need to pay
Wizard at night, simple man at day
Devil gave him a book with secret knowledge of the dead
But didn’t say there is no way back
Man followed his every word, time was passing by
But those devil’s great words were lies!

Don’t believe in every word he says!

Run away
As fast as you can
Do not let evil to take control
Run away
As fast as you can
Run Away
You must save your soul

Once upon a dreary season when the midnight came
He decided to change his aim
He locked doors and called for devil as felt very strong
When he came the words stuck in his throat
Prince of darkness was so mighty, knew the man would lie
So he came with a new, dark, secret plan
Devil called for secret powers, the lightning and storm
Run away or you’ll turn into stone

You believed in every word he said!

Run away
As fast as you can
Do not let evil to take control
Run away
As fast as you can
Run Away
You must save your soul


10. Black Leviathan

He was called The Black Leviathan
Was he a ghost? No one knew
Baltic Sea was cursed for ages
With an iron hand he ruled

His black ship was fast like thunder
Sails were dancing with the storm
Sailing was for him a hunting
Waving abyss was his home

Burning masts
Sea was a grave
Full of blood and wrecks

Black Leviathan: mighty pirate
Didn’t take the prisoners
Losers sinking to the bottom
Never saw the shore again

But one day, there came a hope when
Unfurled sails have been seen
Young and brave man, his silver sails
Swelled out proudly in the wind

He left his ship, looked at the sea
“I’m the son of the wind” he said
He was sure he’ll save the Baltic
But he dies from a pirate’s hand

Nothing changed
Sea was a grave
Full of blood and wrecks

Black Leviathan: mighty pirate
Didn’t take the prisoners
Losers sinking to the bottom
Never saw the shore again
