There is a hidden place Born from the will of gods Accessible through narrow roads We call this place “our home” There is a gentle voice That whispers sweet words “ Welcome to a spellbound world Among fairies, demons and swords” A land of mystery Look into the ardent forge Will you find the riddle of the rings? Far, far beyond the sun Where daylight dies and shadow grows An enchanting land Lies keeping secrets of time Through the veil of dreams May people find here glory and wealth As our gods intended for Land of Eregion Look at the signs in the sky And listen to your heart The red berries of elder trees Will mark the incoming time You’ll hear the singing stones That mourn the golden age “We were part of heaven once But now we’ve fallen from grace” A land of sorcery Look into the ardent forge Will you find the riddle of the rings? Far, far beyond the sun Where daylight dies and shadow grows An enchanting land Lies keeping secrets of time Through the veil of dreams May people find here glory and wealth As our gods intended for Land of Eregion Far, far beyond all death Where only spirits fly unbound A beloved land Lies free from burdens of time Through the eons’ light The utter darkness never comes As our gods intended for Land of Eregion

Lord of War 05:18
I - The March Moon guide my steps in this land of bewitchery surrounded by shadows I walk Blood on my hands It’s a sign of impending doom Black ravens fly over me Under a black sky we’re marching ‘till dawn Ready to fight without fear (From) glory will rise up a thousand songs If we set on fire and kill Tonight we will burn down For the King For the Lord of War Tonight we will burn Second to none every man shows a proudly gait Born to be slain or to win Sword’s by my side Dreaming o’ many deadly strikes She waits for some blood to spill Under a black sky we’re marching ‘till dawn Ready to die on the field (From) glory will rise up a thousand songs Prayin’ for the Gods to heal Tonight we will burn down For the King For the Lord of War Tonight we will burn Tonight we will burn down For the King For the Lord of War Tonight we will burn BURN !! II - The Prayer First comes the light of a rising sun to give us glory for battle’s time Then there are weapons, the courage and faith to give us the strength to face death Lord of war I hear thy callin’ I hold my sword while horn is blowin’ Screaming to the sky the ancient hymns I care for nothing but the honor of my king III - The Battle At last the expected war has come Not all of us will return back home Those who stay alive will sing eternal songs In memory of those who won’t fight anymore Here we stand in the battlefield Beating to bring every knight to the ground Feeling the power of gods inside We fight and die for our king

Vinland 04:28
A last look at the shore We’re leaving the cold north Sons of the sea Born to be the pioneers Blue skies turn into storm We sail into the unknown Route to the West With no fear and no regrets Handful of men ready to sacrifice their lives Explorers of new worlds beyond the sea Through the wind On the sea Searching through the endless ocean No one’s ever gone... So far away For a land All of us Sailing to unsung horizons Guided by stars We’ll follow our destiny New place to colonize A mild and fertile land The braves’ reward The journey has just begun Handful of men ready to sacrifice their lives Explorers of new worlds beyond the sea Through the wind On the sea Searching through the endless ocean No one ever has gone... So far away For a land All of us Sailing to unsung horizons Guided by stars We’ll follow our destiny

Broken chains Slaves nevermore Now is the time to lift the swords We bear the mark Sign of brotherhood Anger and pain flowing in our veins Face the legions of Rome Fight for a greater ideal Win or die as free men To live our life We will rise like the sun in the sky Shake shall the pillars of the Empire War of Damned, the army of slaves Our blood will not be shed in vain Battlefield Destiny calls Thousands of men to form the ranks Victory or death United until the end Against the long Republic’s hands Face the legions of Rome Fight for a greater ideal Win or die as free men To live our life We will rise like the sun in the sky Shake shall the pillars of the Empire War of Damned, the army of slaves Our blood will not be shed in vain Ut bellum incipiat Morti parati sumus Ut bellum incipiat Morti parati sumus We will rise like the sun in the sky Shake shall the pillars of the Empire War of Damned, the army of slaves Our blood will not be shed Now is the time We shall not die in vain

When the rosy-fingered dawn rises high Faces carved by cold look at the sky It’s time to ask out loud with proud eyes (The) favor of gods before a last goodbye And no one knows the fate of Norns Then together aboard the longship, side by side Brothers bound by an oath subscribed in blood Until time ends we’ll fight hard (And the) glory belongs to Odin, as we know, But victory, it depends on our sword Strong and bold like ancient kings Who lead from above, northern covenant We plunder well all the lands and seas Comes from afar, (the) northern covenant Mourn the people betrayed by the sea all their dead In battle we expect a bloodbath worthy of being sung It leaves no chances the Jomsborg’s rule: To die as cowards or to die just as gods Holding the cold steel into their own hands Strong and bold like ancient kings Who lead from above, northern covenant We plunder well all the land and the seas Comes from afar, (the) northern covenant

“Rise to fall (It’s) the meaning of all” The man knew that riding into the storm Grows the oak from a little brown acorn But it falls down too when its time has come So this man with a sword in his hands He goes to the tyrant’s lair A kingdom of blood and a kingdom of gloom Is about to encounter its doom From evil men just evil deeds Fruits of a poisoned tree The hero goes straight to weed evil’s root And the head of the tyrant is lost Rolls the tyrant’s head, my friend Rolls and springs away from his golden throne Now the tyrant knows Rise to fall Let people feast, the hero is back He carries a gift into a blood-red bag The crowd hit the bottles and drink to his health The guest now receives many hails Then from far away is gettin’ to town A scary tale: a new tyrant’s rising unbound The hero has no master, defender o’ subdued A hail and he’s riding again Rolls the tyrant’s head my friend Rolls and springs away from his golden throne Now the tyrant knows Rise to fall “Rise to fall (It’s) the meaning of all” The man knew that riding into the storm Grows the oak from a little brown acorn But it falls down too when its time has come Rolls the tyrant’s head my friend Rolls and springs away from his golden throne

I’m coming to your land Lord of the Elven smiths You will be guided by me I’ll teach you how to forge the rings Hiding my identity Blind are your eyes before me And you’ll call me “my friend” I am pure evil in disguise Submission to my will And darkness falls on all the lands Obey your Master I am the Lord of Gifts We will make sixteen rings Crafted for men and dwarves We’ll make this Middle-Earth... A finer place than Valinor But now you’ve learned my plans You have concealed three “stars” Made for the Elven Kings To protect from evil in disguise Submission to my will And darkness falls on all the lands Obey your Master I am the Lord of Gifts I’m coming to your land Obey your Master ... of gifts
