[Instrumental]

The steel is waiting
We need to rise
For the battle
Maybe for the first time
Maybe the last,
We'll stand tall

The sky is on fire
Rivers flow blood -
It's time to ride!
Another day will show us
What is wrong and what is right

But the day wasn't right or the sacrifice was wrong
Maybe Gods were playing with our lives
We won the battle but we lost so many friends
The pyres will burn for the brave

Warriors of Thunder, raise your hands
We were born for battle for battle we'll survive
Warriors of Thunder spread your wings
We'll fly to reach the sky; we'll fly to be the Kings!

We must defend what's ours
We are young
We are strong
Let the vengeance be blessed
It's our only hope
Only aim

But if I fall in battle
Remember me, remember, my friends
I'll be waiting for you
In the heaven of the brave!

In early autumn, when no one was expecting
They came with swords in their hands, in their hands
They said they were bringing the light to the dark
They said - but it was a lie, it was a lie...

Like hungry beasts they took what belonged to us
Like hungry beasts - drank our blood, drank our blood
But thane Vykintas, like aurochs strong, called our men -
"Defend our land, defend our home!"

They were young, they were strong
But the steel was so cold - colder than fear...
Silence before the battle - the only thing
Which remained here...

In the battle of the Sun
People were dying -
In the battle of the Sun
Only few survived...
In the battle of the Sun
Black ravens were flying...
Glory to those, who laid down their lives
In the battle of the Sun!

In deepest forests, in the swamps
The fearless armies met their fate, met their fate
Prowess and wisdom were leading our men -
They smote the foes with strokes of hate, with strokes of hate

The fight was long, bloody and cruel
Fighters were dying; falling one by one, dying one by one...
But the Thunder God was so merciful
To his sons - that day they won, that day they won!

The future is calling
Day by day we're getting stronger
Hard times are drowning in the past...
Out of the darkness
We are now returning -
The Army of Thunder
Alongside us!

No more fear -
No more broken reflections of history...
Loud and clear
We can hear the clarion call!
No more fear -
From this moment we choose our destiny.
Till the end
We'll remain and we will never fall!

We were mistaken
We were misled by tainted gods
We gave our lives to the hands of fools...
But Holy Fire
Was still alive in our hearts -
And now we are here to change the rules!

If you've lost the way in life
Don't know what is right -
I am here for you my brother
I will be your guide!

Raise your head release your mind
Show the world your face -
Leave your sorrow far behind
No matter what it takes!

I am here for you my brother,
I am here for you -
We will stand and fight together
One and one are two...
I am here for you my brother
Always be your friend -
We will stand and fight together
Proud until the end!

Lots of dreams and foolish fears
Living in your head -
Many promises are broken
And the words unsaid...

Hold the line, defend your will
Tell them - this is me!
You are not alone in this fight
You are here with me!

So many years I was roaming
This windy road -
Searching for a place I'd call home - you know...
So many places were calling
For me to stay
But my heart was away...

Day after day in battle
Holding the line
Together with brothers in arms - side by side
Chasing the dreams shining so bright
But we were blind -
The fortune was left far behind...

I'll be the knight of the lonely star
How can I reach you? - You are so far...
I'll fly my way through the darkest night
To see your eyes - your eyes...
In the morning light...

I left my heart for this journey
But right from the start
There's only sand in my hands - and the dust
Why do we still keep going?
Instead of the star
There's only shadow above...

Ancient kings are rising
The power of the Old ones
Will help us find what is true
Descendants of knights
Grab your swords!
The old forgotten glory awaits you!

If you feel that you are strong enough
Fate is on your side
The time is right
We must go
The future belongs to us

Let the fire burn forever
On the hills, let it show us the way
We'll be reborn, now or never
For the glory of our Thane

Prophecies of the past
Will lead us through the dark
It's only a matter of time
With thunder, with the holy fire
The heroes will arise
Once again the legends will be reborn

The next morning will birth in flames
Time has come to meet the enemy again
Once they ruled us when we were weak
But now we are strong, we are ready to meet our fate!

Walking through the forest
I hear the memories
Of the ancient spirits,
Still living in the trees...
I can feel the power
Of this splendid land
And what has been forgotten
Comes to the light again...

Once there was a kingdom
Beautiful and free
Mother to her children
Threat to enemies
Wooden castles standing
High upon the hills!
Fearless people living -
Defying strangers' wills

For the honoured fathers
Golden mead will flow
In our hearts forever
Hallowed oaks will grow...
For the honoured fathers
We fill up our horns!
In the odes of Thunder
The foretime returns!

Holy groves were rustling -
Full of mysteries
Tenebrous and trackless,
Keeping holy peace
Glorious and mighty
They lived until the day
Plague came out of nowhere -
They called it a New Faith...

Bloody times then came
Lots of tears and pain they brought...
No, we won't forget
Lessons that they've taught!

Why is your ghost here with me?
I can see no light!
Why the gall is all I feel?
This battle ain't over!

I trusted you; I followed you, dearest Queen of slaves!
These walls shall be your grave
Leave, while it's not too late!

In my eyes you will never see
No shadow of fear
I'll stand till the sword in my hands
Disappears
We will stand side by side with brothers
We'll keep faith that we share -
The Victory is near,
But you won't be here!

You are there, behind these walls
I am here, in mud
Dogs are licking your feet
While I'm drowning in blood!

Bloody Queen of my heart
You keep on tearing my world...
I'm suffering here, while your bed
Is never empty and cold...
But I will come back, my Queen!
Every night in your dreams -
Each time taking what's mine
Whatever that means...

My dear friends, I invoke you
In the name of our land
In the name of former greatness
All together here we stand!

Our fate is to be fighters -
Foes under our feet!
It's the past we left behind us
It's the future we will meet!

We are proud, we are strong
We will stay where we belong -
Guardians of this glorious land!
We'll remain with no fright -
Enemies will see the might!
By the walls of our Kingdom they'll die -
Rise and fight!

I can see a new day coming
I can hear the sound so loud.
Like a beast the storm is roaring -
Our armies are all around!

Time has come to change the story
Time has come to sacrifice...
In the night so long we waited
For a sign for us to rise!

No matter how many
Years it will take
To defend what is ours
To keep our faith...
Our blood will be spilled
For this land to be free
We are here - like the oaks...
And forever will be!
