The Dragon Lies Bleeding
[Stromblad / Cans]

Ride through the valley in thunder and rain
The battle is raging, redeem this domain
The castle of Eden lies silent above
Darkness surrounds us, away we must go

I look through the eyes of the world
I see there's a stranger among us
Awaiting a sign from above
To conquer the power and the glory

Enter the battle, our will to enchain
bringing us forward, defeating the pain
Into the meeting with swords made of steel
We're standing together, the secret reveals

I look through the eyes of the world
I know who's the stranger among us
Awaiting a sign from above to conquer
To conquer the power and the glory

Come across to the promised land
Close your eyes I will take your hand
Through the river of steel we'll go
When the dragon lies bleeding

Above the glory we'll carry on
Now the time has come to return back home
The setting sun illuminates the dead
On the battlefield it's shining red

Silent lies Eden on top of the moor
We're fighting with honor protecting our Lord
The last one survivor lies bleeding, I kneel
Into his heart I settle the steel

I look through the eyes of the world
There is no stranger among us
we march through the end of the world
in search of the power and the glory

Come across to the promise land...

The Metal Age
[Stromblad / Dronjak / Cans]

Icy water on my hands
The roar of thunder everywhere
I close my eyes, I realize I'm far away from home
In the twilight zone, the shadows mourn

Out of the night came the shining...(from)
The metal age

Ivory towers conceal my eyes
Caught up in a long lost time
Where no one speaks, at liberty, they guard their destiny
To forge the steel, they will reveal

Out of the night came the shining...

I'm falling into the breach
I'm a stranger in this land, I'm falling

Standing strong , the brave and the elder
With scars seldom forgotten, above it all
Come with us, offering shelter from the icy wind that shiver
Come with us to the twilight zone

You're welcome to The metal age

Hear the bell begins to chime
The moonlit skies burst out in flames
The time has come, it must be done, let the power be unchained
By the force within, let the war begin

Out of the night came the shining...

Hammerfall
[Stromblad / Dronjak / Cans]

Silent screaming, you're on your own
Balancing on a blade
Between what's right and what is wrong
Don't loose your faith, don't sit there in silence
Show your strength, let's hail the metal Gods,
Bare your heart

All for one, our burning hearts will live forever
One for all, together standing strong

Hammerfall - we will prevail
Hammerfall - let us hail

Hammerfall - we will prevail
Hammerfall - let us hail

We share a dream, the future is ours
A Metal Heart is hard to tear apart, heed the call
A flash of light calls out the providers
We run this race, but we will never crawl, all hail
Hammerfall

All for one, our burning hearts will live forever
One for all, together standing strong

Hammerfall - we will prevail
Hammerfall - let us hail
Hammerfall - we will prevail
Hammerfall - let us hail

Just follow your heart, don't listen to the crowd
The wisdom, the voice is calling from inside
The time long forgotten will soon come again
Prepare for the meeting, the Gods of Metal reign

I Believe
[by Cans / Stalfors]

Is is too late to go in peace, I wonder how
how these things did start anyway
Maybe too late to find a way, when the
trail of grief is marked with memories

Now when you're gone, the warmth
of the sun seems so faraway

I believe - in everything I see, every
second is a miracle for me
I believe - after sunshine comes the
rain, and when it's pouring down
the only thing I feel is pain

I walk alone through shapeless dreams
my only home is the wasteland that I cross
I close the door and turn the key
those days of joy are barely memories
Now when you're gone, your star will
shine on, wont you shine for me

I believe- in everything I see, every
second is a miracle for me
I believe- after sunshine comes the
rain, and when it's pouring down
the only thing I feel is pain

Child Of The Damned
[by Bill Tsamis]

You made me see right past myself, well beyond
my fears, realized I'm synchronized, far beyond my years
I'm so guard unto them, I serve unto their souls
now that I'm addicted, my hunger only grows

I'm a child of the damned, I follow where I go
rigging to the cross, as holy as a whore
I'm just a child of the damned

Witches coven, the time has come for those sabbatical
years, revelation is the message, for all in all to hear
Prophets slayed, mankind arrayed into mass submission
evil's here, the lord of hell gives you the proposition

I'm a child of the damned, I follow where I go
rigging to the cross, as holy as a whore
I'm just a child of the damned

Give away your life goals, your meaning and ambition
it means nothing to you, after all it's superstition
Do not be afraid, the world is near the end
is it better to rule in hell, than it is to serve in heaven?

I'm a child of the damned, I follow where I go
rigging to the cross, as holy as a whore
I'm just a child of the damned

Steel Meets Steel
[by Dronjak]

Back in 1095, when the call to arms came
we had the red cross sown on
Sent to save the holy land and crush the infidels
with strength from above

STEEL MEETS STEEL

On towards victory we march, the guiding star
lead us to the battle field
There, the heathens were subdued, and in the end
we forced them all to yield or die

STEEL MEETS STEEL

In July in '99, the Holy City was stormed and won
Jerusalem was freed, we thanked the lord for our glory

We, the Templars, have survived by honor and pride
and the blessing of the sword
The quest of the war, forever sung
to the sound of steel meets steel

STEEL MEETS STEEL

Stone Cold
[by Stromblad / Dronjak / Cans]

Outcast a time of war, when mankind lost control
of life and death, under surveillance

I watch the children pray, while god just turns away
out in the ruins they seek shelter
These streets were once my home, but those
golden days are gone, now I'm fighting to survive

Stone cold, man or machine
Stone cold, the end of our dream

The word is on the street, it's kill or to be killed
with no exception you are on your own

We should have seen it all along, the writings
on the wall, tell me what have we become

Stone cold ...

Who do you believe in now, when the prophecy
came true, the final deja vu

These streets were once my home ...

Stone cold ...

Unchained
[by Stromblad / Dronjak / Cans]

Undying nightfall, a king with no crown
dethroned, imprisoned in chains
Duel the black horse, the Swordsmen must kneel
condemned to serve within the shadows
Put 'em next to their King

Out of the fire and into the night
a handful of brave men appeared
Crimson thunder running through their veins
a bond that will last forever
Nothing's stronger than ...

Brothers in arms are fighting tonight
the Forces of steel meet again
born in the fire, they look to the sky
power of metal unchained

Time has come, break out of these chains
FIGHT! proud for your kingdom
Behind the defenders the king marches on
by divine intervention
They are fighting with ...

Brothers in arms are fighting tonight
the Forces of Steel live again
born in the fire, they look to the sky
the power of metal unchained

Past many nights they fought on
and by the moonlight the battle was won
but still the black horse is running
knowing were the power will lead

Brothers in arms are fighting tonight
the Forces of Steel live again
born in the fire, they look to the sky
the power of metal unchained

Glory To The Brave
[by Dronjak / Stromblad / Cans]

Snow is falling down on this glorious land
colors fading, turning into white again
To fallen heroes angels sting, they cry their winter tears
endless mourning days will turn to years

So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and
spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away now

Nothing on earth stays forever
but none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
you're gone to the home of the brave

Every solemn moment I will treasure inside
even though it's hard to understand
that a silent wind can blow that candle out
taking everything leaving the pain far behind

You call out my name, but your voice is fading
into the wind, embraced, you'll fly away now, fly away now

Nothing on earth stays forever
but none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
you're gone to the home of the brave

My eyes are closed I feel you're faraway (so close)
far beyond that shining star
I know you'll find what you've been fighting for
far beyond that shining star

Down on bended knee I pray, bring courage to these souls
make 'em live forever in the heart of the bold
So I say farewell my friends, I hope we'll meet again
when my time has come to fall from the grace

So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and
spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away now

Nothing on earth stays forever
but none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
you're gone to the home of the brave

[Dedicated to the memory of Klas Fors]

Ravenlord
[Bonus track, Stormwitch Cover]

Grey morning, dawn won the fight
Daylight drives away the night
Fog's rising out in the fields
The birth of winter is in sight
Dark shadow's fall from the sky
They alight on gallows tree
Black feathers, amber beaks
Waiting for their Deity
Leaves are spinning 'round
Lost and never found
When the King takes the Crown
Can you feel
The autumn wind blowing
Ravenlord is coming to stay
Can you hear
The passing bell tolling
Ravenlord - takes you far away
Sharp talons, pinions of ice
They obscure the new-born day
Hot breathing freezes to snow
Piercing caws lead you astray
Leaves are spinning 'round...

Heeding The call
[Zuruck]

A flash in the night, a journey through time
the Templars are back on the streets
Guarded by prowess and the will to survive
all led by the guiding light

Angel of mercy, guardians of time
Shackled and chained through the eternal flame
the hammer will slowly arise

Heeding the Call, one and for all
never surrender, with glory we'll fall
Brothers unite, let's stand up and fight
fulfilling our fate, we are Heeding the Call

One, step ahead, revealing the past
united, together we stand
The call of the thunder, the sign to begin
this final crusade we will win

Angel of mercy, guardians of time
Shackled and chained through the etrenal flame
the hammera will slowly arise

Heeding the Call, one and for all
never surrender, with glory we'll fall
Brothers unite, let's stand up and fight
fulfilling our fate, we are Heeding the Call

Oh, oh, oh...

Heeding the Call, one and for all
never surrender, with glory we'll fall
Brothers unite, let's stand up and fight
fulfilling our fate, we are Heeding the Call

Eternal Dark
Living in the shadows
Live a life of sins
Now you feel the pressure
There ain't no giving in
Do you ever wander
Do you ever think
What may lie beyond you
What's the missing link

Will you enter the paradise
Will you see the light
What is your destination
Your eyes will see - eternal dark

There ain't no use behaving
Life can never change
There ain't no book to guide you
You're desperate to the range
Why do you listen
To the holy man
Sage one will take you
The only one who can

Will you enter the paradise
Will you see the light
What is your destination
Your eyes will see - eternal dark

Legacy Of Kings
Out in the fields
the full moon is rising
Enlightens the name on our shields
blessed with pride
Steel on our side
we're horsemen of thunder
The ground starts to shake as we ride
side by side
Stormbringer led us into the unknown
On wings of glory we will carry on
Legacy Of Kings - LEGACY OF KINGS
forever to surrvive, we're
Riding on the winds - RIDING ON THE WINDS
unchained and free, alive forevermore
Deep in the night
we circle around them
The honor compels us to fight
all for one
All hewed with steel
in the toil of the battle
Our enemies fate will reveal
and be sealed
The chill of the wind keeps on calling our names
there's no turning back now, keep hold of the flame
Legacy Of Kings - LEGACY OF KINGS
forever to surrvive, we're
Riding on the winds - RIDING ON THE WINDS
unchained and free, alive forevermore
Now we are here
and there is nothing left to fear
The secrets of steel
the path of glory will reveal
Legacy Of Kings - LEGACY OF KINGS
forever to surrvive, we're
Riding on the winds - RIDING ON THE WINDS
unchained and free, alive forevermore

Let The Hammer Fall
It's getting closer now
the clock strikes midnight time
It is the tolling of the judgement bell
You fear the dead of night
there ain't no place to hide
This is your point of no return
Now we are ready to strike, again
It's getting far to late, my friend
Let The Hammer Fall
We are above the law
let our power show
That we're in full control of your destiny
Now we are ready to strike, again
It's getting far to late, my friend
Let The Hammer Fall
Oh [x32]
We're getting closer now
the chill of distant eyes
Your on a dead end street into the night
Now we are ready to strike, again
It's getting far to late, my friend
Let The Hammer Fall
Let the Hammer... FALL

Dreamland
See the light of those who find
as time pass you by, you're still left behind
Time has come for you to see
that life is a game you'd rather play or flee
The ivory gates cast shadows, might betray
surrender this night, or choose my way
Come with me, I'll take you there
to the land of make belive
Let us fly beyond our dreams, fall into reverie
On the wings of destiny, I will claim our liberty
with the power of the steel
with the power of the steel
with the power of the steel
Dreamland will reveal
All you see is black or white
you have to spell out what's wrong or right
Spoken words may have let you down
it's time to stand up and rise with the sun
You entered the gates and there's nothing left to fear
but don't let the matter stand, you're near
Come with me, I'll take you there
to the land of make belive
Let us fly beyond our dreams, fall into reverie
On the wings of destiny, I will claim our liberty
with the power of the steel
with the power of the steel
with the power of the steel
Dreamland will reveal
Let me know if you wanna go, there's a place for you and me
Let me take you to the temple of your heart, let me know
You entered the gates and there's nothing left to fear
but don't let the matter stand, you're near
Come with me, I'll take you there
to the land of make belive
Let us fly beyond our dreams, fall into reverie
On the wings of destiny, I will claim our liberty
with the power of the steel
with the power of the steel
with the power of the steel
Dreamland will reveal

Remember Yesterday
Can you tell me why
it seems so hard to carry on
When you hear a voice
from long ago, so bittersweet
Even though I try, I can not
read between the lines
You know I tried,
Oh, yes, I tried, what's wrong
Too late to turn back time
To look over my shoulder
Maybe one day I'll return again
Remember Yesterday
and think about tomorrow
But you have to live today
Oh, lonely yesterday
don't leave me with the sorrow
Cause I have to live today
Every morning I awake
to see the newborn day
To carry on the flame
until the end of time
Too late to turn back time
To look over my shoulder
Maybe one day I'll return again
Remember Yesterday
and think about tomorrow
But you have to live today
Oh, lonely yesterday
don't leave me with the sorrow
Cause I have to live today
Oh, oh, oh, don't you step aside
and pretend about the future
Oh, oh, oh, never live a lie
don't you know tomorrow never comes
Remember Yesterday
and think about tomorrow
But you have to live today
Oh, lonely yesterday
don't leave me with the sorrow
Cause I have to live today
Oh, oh, oh, don't you step aside
and pretend about the future
Oh, oh, oh, never live a lie
don't you know tomorrow never comes

At The End Of The Rainbow
As long as I remember
we've marched across this land
oh, oh ...
Reached for a new horizon
pulled by the killing hand
oh, oh ...
All fed up with lies
the time has come
to break these chains and fly
Here we stand, bound forevermore
we're out of this world, until the end
Here we are, mighty, glorious
At The End Of The Rainbow
with gold in our hands
We know the treasure lies
beyond the pouring rain
oh, oh ...
Our quest will last forever
for you it's all the same
oh, oh ...
No one can deny
our future's set
to reach above the sky
Here we stand, bound forevermore
we're out of this world, until the end
Here we are, mighty, glorious
At The End Of The Rainbow
with gold in our hands
Let's fly away through the rain
fly high, to ease the burning pain
oh, the colours fading out
The light is shining in the night
it's up to you, it's worth the fight
search before the colours fade
Here we stand bound forevermore
we're out of this world, until the end
Here we are, mighty, glorious
At The End Of The Rainbow
with gold in our hands

Back To Back
They came at dawn into the morning light
black shadows riding on the mist
Prepered for battle, swords were shining bright
filled with anger and harm
Came to kill not to charm
The sound of metal screaming in the air
the time has come were justice rules
The endless victims looking up in fear
Now, who are the fools
Oh, here they come, riders of the sun
And they will fight ... Back To Back
They're fighting hard, their way to victory
dead bodies lying on the ground
They are the soldiers of eternity
and their swords spinning around
Oh, here they come, riders of the sun
And they will fight ... Back To Back
Kill with power, ready to ride, let's go
They got it all, they'll never fall
But they will fight
The night is falling, light will disappear
a magic silence fills the place
Could read the warning, shining crystal clear
now they were lost for the chase
Oh, here they come, riders of the sun
And they will fight ... Back To Back
No, no, no ,no

Stronger Than All
Always standing proud, we know our time has come
marching off to war, the crusade has just begun
Fighting for the right to live under the sun
we won't stop 'til they've lost and we've won
Come and fly with us, together as one we belong
This magic of metal unites us, it's making us strong
Like an arrow we strike - STRONGER THAN ALL
heavy metal troops on the rise
Like an arrow of might - STRONGER THAN ALL
We'll walk through fire, we're true to ourselves and our lives
History commits the oath to deal in steel
Warriors of the Faith, to no living soul we kneel
Born into the fold, the Templars are for real
no one will ever bring us to heel
Come and fly with us, together as one we belong
this magic of metal unites us, it's making us strong
Like an arrow we strike - STRONGER THAN ALL
shooting through the air at full speed
Like an arrow of might - STRONGER THAN ALL
in the name of metal, defending our hopes and beliefs
The past and the present unites in us all, we stand up for our beliefs
The way of the Templars is here once again, forever they will be free
Like an arrow we strike - STRONGER THAN ALL
heavy metal troops on the rise
Like an arrow of might - STRONGER THAN ALL
We'll walk through fire, we're true to ourselves
Like an arrow we strike - STRONGER THAN ALL
shooting through the air at full speed
Like an arrow of might - STRONGER THAN ALL
in the name of metal, defending our hopes and beliefs

Warriors Of Faith
They search the desert plains
in the land of no return
To seek out the danger, time to burn
They are the rightous ones
they've come to claim this land
Like warriors under command
They fight for gold and glory
proclaim the dead man's land
Into the dungeons they must go
to find the answers, left untold
Under the burning sun
in danger, eye to eye
They all now that someone must die
Into the well they're falling
past immortality
Led by temptation and devotion
rendered deathless by the touch of the sword
Onwards victory, let us hear your battle cry
the enemies, will renounce or die
Hail the Warriors Of Faith
Together they march through the fire
Forever they're lost in this world
Onwards victory, let us hear your battle cry
the enemies, will renounce or die
Eternally, they will fall under the sign
of victory, fighting all for one
Hail the the Warriors Of Faith

The Fallen One
I saw your face in the morning sun
oh, I thought you were there
I heard your voice as the wind passed me by
silently, whispering my name
So many things that I wanted to say
forever left untold
I still remember the tears that you shed
over someone else
Our love could never die
all I can do is cry
save a little prayer for the fallen one
There is a light down at memory lane
slowly fading away
Still holding on to the dreams torn apart
I will follow my heart
Our love could never die
all I can do is cry
save a little prayer for the fallen one
Still on my own, chasing the sun
of a time long ago
The shade in my heart, tearing apart
everything that I long for
I saw your face in the morning sun
oh, I thought you were there
I heard your voice as the wind passed me by
whispering my name
Our love could never die
all I can do is cry
save a little prayer for the fallen one

I Want Out
[Original By Helloween]

From our lives' beginning on
We are pushed in little forms
No one asks us how we like to be
In school they teach you what to think
But everyone says different things
But they're all convinced that
They're the ones to see

[Bridge:]
So they keep talking and they never stop
And at a certain point you give it up
So the only thing that's left to think is this

[Chorus:]
I want out - to live my life alone
I want out - leave me be
I want out - to do things on my own
I want out - to live my life and to be free

People tell me A and B
They tell me how I have to see
Things that I have seen already clear
So they push me then from side to side
They're pushing me from black to white
They're pushing 'til there's nothing more to hear

[Bridge:]
But don't push me to the maximum
Shut your mouth and take it home
'cause I decide the way things gonna be

[Chorus:]
I want out - to live my life alone
I want out - leave me be
I want out - to do things on my own
I want out - to live my life and to be free

There's a million ways to see the things in life
A million ways to be the fool
In the end of it, none of us is right
Sometimes we need to be alone

[Solo: Kai / Both]

No no no, leave me alone

[Chorus:]
I want out - to live my life alone
I want out - leave me be
I want out - to do things on my own
I want out - to live my life and to be free

At The End Of The Rainbow
As long as I remember
We've marched across this land
Oh, oh...

Oh, oh...
All fed up with lies
The time has come
To break these chains and fly
Here we stand, bound forevermore
We're out of this world, until the end
Here we are, mighty, glorious
At The End Of The Rainbow
With gold in our hands
We know the treasure lies

Oh, oh...
Our quest will last forever
For you it's all the same
Oh, oh...
No one can deny
Our future's set
To reach above the sky
Here we stand, bound forevermore
We're out of this world, until the end
Here we are, mighty, glorious
At The End Of The Rainbow
With gold in our hands
Let's fly away through the rain
Fly high, to ease the burning pain
Oh, the colours fading out
The light is shining in the night
It's up to you, it's worth the fight
Search before the colours fade
Here we stand bound forevermore
We're out of this world, until the end
Here we are, mighty, glorious
At The End Of The Rainbow
With gold in our hands

And in our hearts for all eternity we Keep The
Flame Burning
