IN THE SHADOWS
The beast it lurks in shadows of this hall
Putrid stench of rotting corpse on the floor
He leaps at you he’s going for the throat
No time to cry out
It hits full force smashes through the door
Stone wood and glass crumbling to the floor
This sacred place will burn, flames to the sky
Dust and ash, all that remain
Chorus
End the fight, the reaper calls
Into the darkness of your mind
Open those dead eyes
In the shadows, fight death
A perfect form shape shifter veil,
Eyes captured it’s leering at your lust
Reach out to touch, flesh falls from it’s face
The deceiver sheds tears of blood
Fang and claw tear man and beast apart
Screams in the night, hunger deranged
Muscle and hair cannot deflect the shot
In the dawn, a mortals remains.

CALL OF THE SEA
Through the all seeing eye of the storm
My love calls to the heart of all men
I have seen all that you deny exists
From this mountain peak to swollen sea
Chorus
All that comes ashore, stays ashore
Never to leave
Never to return, lost to the storm
Call of the sea
Swirling storm summoned, brings them to the shore
Smashing ships of those that dare to pass
Survivors seek refuge, in the trees it lurks
A beast unleashed, senses their fear
It’s claws piercing, strip them to the bone
Brings me their eyes so that I can see
Their home their past, another life taken
In the grip of death I see them bleed
The freedom that they had, for me denied
The lands they have seen are now mine
The thoughts the hunger I crave, come to me
For love, for death, I cannot leave.

RAISE THE SWORD
From icy lands to the north
They sailed to distant shores
On the green fields on England
Put Saxon army to the test
The Norsemen shield wall strong
Not afraid, enjoy the fight
Green fields turning red
Stand tall raise the sword
Chorus
Through the storms across the sea
Tales of fortune, raiders stories
Battles won, some were lost
Welcome Odin, draw my last breath
Raise the sword
Saxon friend for a day, use the army of heathens
Keep them close mercenary, quick and sure then retreat
The dukes , the church righteous
Behind (closed) doors, corrupt thoughts
Lies, betrayal, drink the blood,
Stand tall, raise the sword
If the gods allow me, I shall return home
With stories of raids, strange lands and creatures fierce
Listen well, learn our ways, if you are to grow old
My son, my daughter, remember my name.

NEW BEGINNING
Deep within a nightmare, or so I thought
Slipped into a world, that’s far from blue
Eyes watching me, the product of my sin
Tearing at my body, from within
Hands touching me, long blades they cut
They are surrounding me, there’s no way out
I fight the pain, it’s black, I lose my breath
I fall to the ground, just let it end
Chorus
Brought from past, it’s here
Over the edge of reality
Into a hole, deep in my soul
Look for a new beginning
There seems to be no future in a world of hate
I forget why I’m here and what I did before
Giant figure looming, footsteps shake the ground
My feet stuck in concrete there is only down
Sweat and fear invades my only sense that’s left
My skin starts to crawl, I try to run
Heavy fist pounding, knocks me off my feet
He stands on my chest, silhouette blocks the sun
Acrid smoke, burning flesh, embers impede my sight
Roaring thunder deafening, ears they have bled
I crawl through the bodies torn apart
Their bones splintered, remnants of my past
A pin head of light, shines from a crack
I tear at the ground my finger nails break
Battered and bruised, joints lock into place
Removing rock and rubble so the light can awake
I found a new beginning.

OFF TO WAR
Take all the pieces, within the framework
Think of all the choices, memories don’t last
Off to war
Along trenches, running to the end
Around blind corners, full steam ahead
Off to war
Desperate situation, did he stop and look
Clambers over bodies, cross ‘round his neck
Pile up dismembered, no winners here
Wasted population, shocked to the core
Off to war

STACK THE WALLS HIGH
The mass surges, axe wielding, it has begun
Lightning and thunder the air ignites
Notes piercing, eyes bulging, deafening roar
Screaming soaring high
Chorus
Turn on the power, gathering force
Stack the walls high unleashing the axe
Turn up the volume, we all demand
Stack the walls high, releasing the power
Sweating, eyes stinging, neck braking speed
Steel on the steel, fins taking flight
Tension is rising vibration elation
Unleash the fury and might
Chorus 2/
Sonic obsession, gathering force
Stack the walls high, unleashing the axe
We are united, we all demand
Stack the walls high releasing the power
Here we stand, with our friends
Our passion above all
In our hearts it never fades
Facing the wall
