He who takes life in me My mind at his service My heart for him My scream for him! My heart pounds of steel I feel the energy taking form The wave of bump of the Metal! Of the Metal! Among the crowd a call is expanding! Among the crowd a call is expanded! Among the crowd a call is expanding! Among the crowd a call is expanded! My heart pounds of steel I feel the energy taking form The wave of sound of the Metal! Of the Metal! That's why the flames burn The riders are armed of guitars The people of the Metal Are ready to follow them! Among the crowd a call is expanding! Among the crowd a call is expanded! Among the crowd a call is expanding! Among the crowd a call is expanded! Ah ah, Yes! The flames burn! The riders are armed of guitars The people of the Metal Are ready to follow them! Among the crowd a call is expanding! Among the crowd a call is expanded! Among the crowd a call is expanding! Among the crowd a call is expanded!

Grant me the power! Holy Sun! Light my way! Holy Sun! Grant me the power! Holy Sun! Light my way! He fills completely the sky with fire And his powerfull light blinds my eyes Holy Sun Oh Holy Sun! He is your legitmate heir Holy Sun Oh Holy Sun! Your fire burns in his eyes Holy Sun Oh Holy Sun! A half god chosen by the gods Holy Sun Oh Holy Sun! With your means he has won many wars And I await on top of my great home I await to pass from here to your heart I await, and forever my soul will be bound All over the world to my house He my power defends and will bury my skull For this I understand that I'm part of him He will grant me a great end, in the body and the soul Then I listen with respect and fear until he lights my home Holy Sun! Grant me the power! Holy Sun! Light my way! Holy Sun! Grant me the power! Holy Sun! Light my way! He fills completely the sky with fire And his powerfull light blinds my eyes And I await on top of my great home I await to pass from here to your heart I await, and forever my soul will be bound All over the world to my house

You are a forgetfulness in the time You are old and stale Dusty as an ancient book Dejected as the great one of the trees You live of old glories Of archaic values You give weight to every thing As it was done long before You are an immortal of former times Convicted to live You drip as a stalactite That will never loosen him You live in a time not of yours You survive day by day Living in a dream But real decline A face grazed by a time not of yours!

Mjöllnir 05:12
Thunder! Thunder! Thunder from the sky! Full of light my eyes Oh, holy Mjöllnir! It's the time of the rain Your holder came down from the clouds Divine punishment, with the power of your touch Great! Great! Great is the power that you have! The faithful love you, and the unfaithful fear you Oh! You break the ground! Make it tremble This is your sign Thunder from the sky!

The horses and the battle cries Are still heard There, on the ancient mountain Where the brave ones go Where dawn fights the night And the lunar cycles occur Where memory can go There, where the ancient rest Graves covered by brambles In a heroic atmosphere The swords of ancient heroes Now are echoes from the past Graves covered by brambles In a heroic atmosphere The swords of ancient heroes Now are echoes from the past Fallen heroes For a still standing empire "Deeds worthy of memory" So it is written on stone When life had value They gave it as a gift In a time lost in time That now is only a memory Fallen heroes For a still standing empire "Deeds worthy of memory" So it is written on stone Until my home will be destroyed In this place I can find the strength I will choose my death We grazed rocks Will not die by falling And I will build my house here Away from crying Covered by the night And I proudly observe my hills Feeling the weight of suffering Which brings me back to reality Fallen heroes For a still standing empire "Deeds worthy of memory" So it is written on stone When life had value They gave it as a gift In a time lost in time That now is only a memory

I dream the mountains I dream the sky I dream to fly To survive I dream the mountains I dream the sky I dream to fly Born to survive The life in my body Full of suffering The problems of this world They're not a part of my dreams I fly without wings Closing my eyes Without problems anymore I'm as light as the air My eyes are shedding tears It's time for me To face the life But later not now I want the wait of the pain Because while flying I'm weightless I think about the time passed in tears Because aloft there is no time I dream the mountains I dream the sky I dream to fly To survive I dream the mountains I dream the sky I dream to fly Born to survive You want kill me In this sick world With betrayals and false love But I can't die Stoned With falseness But my body is still standing Because I learned to fly!

Mythic vision of the brave warrior Something is going to happen Something of sacred That let shine the steel, the steel that he wears His hair to the wind Facing the sacred sky The valleys bow down to his feet And the chosen one awaits It's justice time! It's law time! The metal doesn't forgive Because so the gods command The god lit him With his sacred light His eyes shed tears from the blinding shine But the look is fixed The clouds have never had so much importance And on the tallest peak there has never been so warm The earth trembles But the warrior awaits It's justice time! It's law time! The metal impose sit to him Because so the gods command He's a man who's proud of the steel that he wears Lit by the divine light With a fixed look Even in front of the gods For a moment the earth stopped to tremble Lit by the divine light He doesn't distinguish anymore the sky from the sea But now it continues to wait

Only few instants separate you from a bloody battle… You're here today for a noble cause Because it's worthy of your honor You, the rich and the powerful Because the ideal enrich the soul You will forge the sword With the warm blood of your enemies Because the sky is dyed of red You won't stop in front of nothing and anybody because your battlecries will tremble the ground Because to fight… To fight for the glory and for the honor!

Given by the power of the wind Your strike will be more powerful than your own soul Given by the power of the wind Your strike will be more powerful than your own soul Unleashed commander of an army who shouts vengeance by now In a world devastated by hatred and by the power of the enemy Commander of our empire Bring along our reason Fight forever by our side And the victory will realize! Commander of our empire Bring along our reason Fight forever by our side And the victory will realize! The steel will be more brave and determined By striking those who have challanged a perfect warmachine The battlehymns will rise and your sword stands ready To represent a battalion, ready for all to defend their ideals Commander of our empire Bring along our reason Fight forever by our side And the victory will realize! Commander of our empire Bring along our reason Fight forever by our side And the victory will realize! The enemy has no escape And with his blood, our swords will appease the thirst! The enemy has no escape And with his blood, our swords will appease the thirst!

There was once a weeping... With a grazed bark From the events of the time And from the indifferences of the fate There was once a tree on the world It was old and drowsy Alone In a valley of tears There was once... who will be always Gripping the evil And crying to the wind His wounds There is still a weeping willow Grazed but standing Howling to the wind And regardless about the fate
