Tracks



01. Calling For The Storm

Poisoned rain will fall on our heads
Earth will grind everything we possess
Air and fire will burn our lungs
Evil will destroy our minds

Nature's forces join their powers
Lightning cuts the sky and blinds us
Ancient walls collapse like Cyclops
Kneel him when he's calling for the storm

This day will predestine our fate
No more air, we will suffocate
Blood of men will boil in their veins
Death will turn us into his slaves

He's the half-breed mage, he's outcast
Soul of evil, heart of darkness
Now he's coming home with vengeance
Kneel him when he's calling for the storm

Soon he will step this ground
The realms of life are now the realms of death
Tempest will be unleashed
His evil spell will steal your final breath
Your time has come
Your final prayer
Scream it aloud
Your final prayer
Scream it aloud
Scream it aloud

Poisoned rain will fall on our heads
Earth will grind everything we possess
Blood of men will evaporate
This day will predestine our cruel fate

02. Eaglemark

Your soul is lost forever
Inside this wicked dream
You're dying for the answer
You're pulled by someone's will
The taste of sweet oblivion
The distant eagle's call
Come read the words forbidden
You'll never get back home

Reach for the heavens with your mind
Reach out for wisdom and might

Shivering cold
You're not alone
Carry the sign
Sign of the clan
There in the cold
You are immortal
Reach for the sun
Carry the mark of the eagle

In times of fame and glory
He was the eagle king
You got to hear his warning
That's hidden deep within
Six hundred years of evil
But he is still around
If you're the true believer
You'll see his blazing sign

Reach for the heavens in your flight
Reach out for wisdom and might

Shivering cold
You're not alone
Carry the sign
Sign of the clan
There in the cold
You are immortal
Reach for the sun
Carry the mark of the eagle

Your soul is lost forever
There's no escape, but still
You're dying for the answer
You're pulled by someone's will
To taste the sweet oblivion
To hear the eagle's call
Come read the words forbidden
You'll never get back home

Reach for the heavens in your flight
Creature of wisdom and might

There in the cold
Mysteries unfold
Give me the sign
Sign of the clan
There in the cold
You are immortal
Reach for the sun
Carry the mark of the eagle

03. Brotherhood Of Light

Riding, fighting
All as one - United
Freedom's running through our veins
Thunder, lightning
Weapon and the fighter
Brothers will remain forever

Now you are the acolyte
Take a step into the light
Oath of blood won't fade away
Keep it till your dying day
We're the brotherhood of light
We will never step aside
In this dark forsaken land
We are brothers till the end.

Blades and arrows
Guides of our heroes
Never disobey your sword
See the shadows
Spirits gather here
Bringing death to our foes

Now you are the acolyte
Take a step into the light
Oath of blood won't fade away
Keep it till your dying day
We're the brotherhood of light
We will never step aside
In this dark forsaken land
We are brothers till the end.

04. Sleeping King

Listen to the wind
Hear the prophecy
I am the Sleeping King
Of the Dynasty
Lay your aching hands
On the tree of light
Will you come with me?
Let your heart decide
It's your legacy

When all your dreams are torn apart
Look for the answer
I am the one who shows the way
Waiting for thousand years of sleep
There is a place for us to hide
Best of the places
When you're prepared, you'll understand
It's time to awake the Sleeping King

The pendulum returns
The gears synchronize
You want to feel my soul
Just look inside my eyes
To summon birds of prey
To rule the raging sea
Will you come with me
It's your legacy

When all your dreams are torn apart
Look for the answer
I am the one who shows the way
Waiting for thousand years of sleep
There is a place for us to hide
Best of the places
When you're prepared, you'll understand
It's time to awake the Sleeping King

05. Losing Faith

He came from lands of death
The soldier of faith
He calls us devil's slaves
He brought us purifying flames

When we are losing our faith
Time for the priest to take care of our race
Once we regain our fear
Demons appear, angels disappear

When we are losing our faith

The wrath of god reins on us
Witchfinder will burn us
It's time for the decision
Beware the inquisition

When we are losing our faith
Time for the priest to take care of our race
Once we regain our fear
Demons appear, angels disappear
Evil is spreading the wings
No one is safe from the pain and the grief
Is it the good that he brings
We do not know, we have lost belief

When we are losing our faith

06. We Are The Shades

You must be a man
Of incisive mind
There is a key
You must find
Wait for the ghost
To come on your side
When you are lost
In the night

Keep you word, the child of shades
Bring me back what I possess

The precious weariness of elder's gaze
I still remember all my promises
The birds return back home - the nameless friends
The darkness covers us, we are the shades

Led by the ghosts
You steal the key
Unlock the lost
Sanctuary
The brightest of stars
Imprisoned here
Finish your quest
Set it free

Once again the vision falls
Apparition softly calls
Once again
Travel far
Free the shade
Touch the star

07. Oblivion

Blessed by the blood, raise your red and white banners to sky
Hear the crying steel when the paladins travel far
One and only choice, over conscience - made with pure heart
And among the ways, there is one that leads to the heaven's gate

Each of us will fight
For eternal light
Will we be forgiven?
When we meet our fate,
Keep the open gate
Shine our thorny way
Straight to the Oblivion

Let the clericks sing while our hammers bring love to our foes
God is watching us, hilt of sword is just another cross
When we pass away, let the myth remain in the depth of time
In the darkest hour keep us in your heart - fighters for the light

We will bring the rest
To the ones who blessed
With the swift salvation
With the Holy Words
We rely on swords
Seeking expiation

Each of us will fight
For eternal light
Will we be forgiven?
When we meet our fate,
Keep the open gate
Paradise or Hell
Os the same Oblivion

08. Grimoire

I will be travelling all night
Where all the lifelines reunite
Where skies are pale and sun is red

I will remove the ancient dust
Revealing writings of the past
And I will read that we are dead

Among the stones and withered roses
I'm looking for the trail of those
Who thought that joy would never end

They are not fighting anymore
'Cause there is nothing to fight for
And there is nothing to defend

I'll gather tears of angels' songs
From silver strings and poisoned thorns
The bitter wine and Golden Grail
You'll drink and thirst will go away

The love I've drowned in wishing well
I'll give away to lord of hell
And in return I will acquire
The grimoire of your desire

09. Burning Prisoner

He reads the stars
And gives the signs
Predicts the thunder
With vengeful cry
He is the burning prisoner
He is the messenger
Of fate and hatred

The ancient spell
Keeps him alive
The hundred chains
Restrict his flight
Imprisoned, but he'll soon run free
To incarnate the prophecy

For the truth and the light
Prisoner's heart
Carve your path through the stones of restraint
When the silence is cut
Call for the fight
Call the brothers for vengeance and freedom

His brothers died
Through all the land
He must remember
He must defend

Final flight
Blinding light
Burning lungs torn with raging cry
Wings aflame
Crest of life
Our world will die
To live again
Rebirth!
Rebirth!

For the truth and the light
Prisoner's heart
Carve your path through the stones of restraint
When the silence is cut
Call for the fight
Call the brothers for vengeance and freedom

10. Werewolf Hunt

Listen! Silent night's cut with hungry growl
Beasts are here and they've heard the leader's call
Listen! It is fear, stranger's steps around
Pack flies through the dark, shadows hide their run

Look out! Hundred eyes gleaming like the stars
Thousand times they've seen how the victim dies
Look out! Hold you chance, vanquish your own fear
Werewolves took your trace, werewolves are near

You almost feel the caress of their jaws
You've got your bare hands against teeth and claws
They owe the night. They will rend. They will gnaw.

Know that nightmare's here, just behind your back
No chance to survive werewolves' attack
Know that every step is a deal with fate
Try to save your life while it's not too late

Is it just a dream? Just awaken!
Try to banish it, try to break it!
You are out of breath, you are hunted
No it can't be death! It's a nightmare!

They're hunting you like the hounds hunt the brute
You'll meet your doom at the end of pursuit
It's just the night. Just the moon. Just the woods?.

11. Black Witch

The shadows suddenly grew long and howling filled their homes
Dead silence came upon the ancient grove
The evil's here like years ago, it's back, it hasn't changed
The Satan's daughter came to get revenge

The ill fame flew and like the plague - it came to every district
It told of hag with evil ruthless spirit
Her human flesh was burned to dust and clerics struck the bells
But Devil threw her back from burning hell

The victim of the holy fire
She walks the land, her smile is dire
The ashes on her crooked lips
And hellish grip
Once dead, she came again to rise
No one can execute her twice
She can't be drowned, she can't be burned
She can't be stopped in her return

The steel and stone obey the power of unholy runes
She spoils the water and conceals the moon
Collecting lives and freezing heat with the forbidden chants
She already began her vengeful hunt

Her retinues of undead souls are throwing out their cry
The rotten madness in the empty eyes
The time is nigh, Your Eminence, God save you from her rage
The Satan's daughter came to get revenge

13. Weeping Bell

I hear the toll of the bell
The sound of my darkest hour
The time has stopped in my cell
The time is dead in this tower
If I dare to change the sequence
Of the holy words
Will your voice unveil the secret
Will the light return?
Oh, weeping bell

The weeping bell
The herald of darkness
Reflects in the empty insane eyes
Weeping bell
My weakening mind
Beholds the approaching judgement day

Since better days here it hides
The ancient walls - breathless emptiness - wasted lands
I had the saints on my side
Now I'm alone - guilt is on my hands
But this night the bell has called me
Letters spoke to me
Fibres of my mind were torn
You took my sanity
The weeping bell

The weeping bell
The murderous call
The symbol of god who has gone
Weeping bell
The wicked creation
I wait for the chance to destroy
The weeping bell
The cross I must hold
The tytan, abandoned by god
Weeping bell
The day when you toll
Will bring damnation to all mankind
