RETURN OF THE WARLORD

Now the time has come when all is said and done
We're back together on the road it's time to fly
No more time to wait you know it feels so great
Wearin leather on a horse of steel I ride
I ain't waiting to get old I'm runnin hot I'm never cold
Kiss my ass if you don't like me I don't care
I got my wheels I got my friends we're on the road again
We're all crazy gonna ride until we die

Time to burn you losers better learn
No one controls our goddamn lifes
We'll do just what we feel riding horses made of steel
We're here to burn up the night

Losers try to put us down it's just another day
I got no money or big house just got life
I don't like to save it's more fun to spend
If you like metal you're my friend
And that bike out in the yard well that's my wife
Don't try to understand me my family never will
Had to punch my teacher out now he's chilled
I might stay in school or die in prison
Either way it's my decision one more beer and heavy metal
And I'm just fine

Time to burn you losers better learn
No one controls our goddamn lifes
We'll do just what we feel riding horses made of steel
We're here to burn up the night

We are the undefeated we're not living in the past
We're here tonight to kick some goddamn ass
Feel the power of the wheel lets drink to riding steel
Livin hard and ridin fast

Time to burn you losers better learn
No one controls our goddam lifes
We'll do just what we feel riding horses made of steel
We're here to burn up the night​

REVELATION (DEATH'S ANGEL)

Above the wreckage of your mortal world I stand
Judgement passed delivered by his hand
Now clear the smoke, there the ashes stand
A fitting tribute to mortality and man.
What was written foretold in dreams,
in visions apocalypse now seen.
And all self-righteous fools who lived and blasphemed
Drink the wine of his anger
Die with the beast
Vindication, he is coming on the clouds
See his angels, hear their trumpets sound.
The day of anger when the stars fall from the sky
The moon turns red, the sun turns black as night.
Know the end is coming, heed this sign
By the morning star the four horsemen ride.
Revelation, the chosen saved
Earth be cleansed in a blaze
Armageddon, the first trumpet blows
Hail, fire and blood fall on Satan's throne.
His hair as white as wool, his eyes like burning flame
He is the first and last, he brings the seven plagues
Seven stars of seven cities in his hand
He holds the keys of death for the underworld and man
Know the end is coming, heed this sign
By the morning star he four horsemen ride
Revelation, the chosen saved
Earth be cleansed in a blaze
Armageddon, the first trumpet blows
Hail, fire and blood fall on Satan's throne.
Revelation, the chosen saved
Earth be cleansed in a blaze
Armageddon, the first trumpet blows
Hail, fire and blood fall on Satan's throne​

RIDE THE DRAGON

Demon's blood and dragon fire, falling on my wings
Racing to the battle in the sky
Ancient gods are calling me I hear them when they sing
Of all the heores who wait for me to die

Beneath the cloak of magic, I'll meet them in the air
I am invisible, I move without a sound
They look but cannot find me, they think that I'm not there
With a spell I send them crashing to the ground

Wait for me dragon, we'll meet in the sky by fire and magic I am sworn
Hell is calling! We cannot be denied fly to the blackness of the storm
We must die to be reborn

I wear a sacred talisman, I make a secret sign
Now welcome me into this wicked wind
On the journey of a shaman a dragon I must ride
The gates of hell are open! Let me in!

Rule in hell or serve in heaven choose an altar or throne
All Commandments and the laws of man disown
Now eat the fruit of knowledge unto no one ye atone
Into the fire with your soul!

Wait for me dragon, we'll meet in the sky by fire and magic I am sworn
Hell is calling! We cannot be denied fly to the blackness of the storm
We must die to be reborn

Demon's blood and dragon fire, falling on my wings Racing to the battle in the sky
Ancient gods are calling me I hear them when they sing
Of all the heores who wait for me to die

Beneath the cloak of magic, I'll meet them in the air
I am invisible, I move without a sound
They look but cannot find me, they think that I'm not there
With a spell I send them crashing to the ground

Wait for me dragon, we'll meet in the sky by fire and magic I am sworn
Hell is calling! We cannot be denied fly to the blackness of the storm
We must die to be reborn​

RIGHTEOUS GLORY

She is watching
From on high
She knows who lives or dies
She will take me to the sky

Should darkness be my fate
Then let me fall among the brave
In battle i shall die
In righteous glory i abide

In righteous glory she'll come to me tonight
She will carry me across the other side
My brothers wait
Odin knows my name
In the hall of the slain

She takes me through the clouds
To another place and time
Holds me in her arms
Immortal and divine
On hooves of thunder
Her white horse parts the sky
Take me to valhalla
Valkyrie mine​

SECRET OF STEEL

Atop the mountain, where the river of steel flows
Black is the forest, white was the snow.
There as children, how could children know?
One without name or number soon would show.
There stood he, on his chariot made of gold
He did reveal the trinity of secrets old.
A sceptre of iron could mercy bring.
A shield of gold, the Creator and king,
And the great sword of steel.
Sons os destiny shall wield.
Hear Wisdom's voice.
Rise, know the strength that you feel.
Hold in your heart but never reveal.
You were called by the Gods, their powers to wield.
Guard well the secret of steel.
A sceptre of iron could mercy bring.
A shield of gold, the Creator and king,
And the great sword of steel.
Sons os destiny shall wield.
Hear Wisdom's voice.
Rise, know the strength that you feel.
Hold in your heart but never reveal.
You were called by the Gods, their powers to wield.
Guard well the secret of steel.​

SHELL SHOCK

I don't know
Well, there's no charge for the haircut
And the bullets come free
My Uncle Sam send a letter, said:
He's got a mission for me
Now I'm a ranger, not a stranger
And I live in Saigon
We've got a team of special forces
And we deliver napalm
But if they tell you that I've lost my mind
Baby it's not gone just a little hard to find
About the time this letter gets home
I'd be gone, gone, yeah gone
And if they tell you that I'm F.I.A.
Think a little less about me each day
'Cause if I ever get back
I'll be shell shocked, whoa
Shell shocked, yeah
Feels funny riding in my car
Used to drive a tank and shoot a B.A.R.
I know I'm home
But I feel gone,gone, yeah gone
Now it's over and the homeland's safe
Got a purple heart to show the world I'm brave
The businessmen sat home
Well I got shell shocked, whoa
Shell shocked, whoa
Shell shock
Shell shock
Shell shock​

SLEIPNIR

(Spoken Intro)

He is descended from giants.
His father Loki, God of fire, is the sworn blood
brother to Odin himself.
He rides across land, sea, and air from the land of
the living, to the land of the dead.
This eight legged steed crosses eight points of the
compass, from eight directions into eight
dimensions.
He is the bringer of the valiant dead from the
battlefield to Valhalla!

Carry we who die in battle
Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin's waiting for me

He was born of giants
His icy coat is grey
At night he rides into the world of death
The living by day
One day on his back I shall ride
From the battlefield into the sky
Borne by Valkyries we Valiant Dead
Into the Hall of Heroes shall be led

Ride down from Asgard
To the battlefield
Bringer of the Valiant Dead
Who died but never yeilded

Carry we who die in battle
Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin's waiting for me

Faster than the fastest horse alive
The living son of fire rides
From the halls of Asgard across the sky
To the world of Gods and Men

Eight legs and magic runes
Carved upon his teeth
Thunder and lightning
Sound beneath his feet
On his back the war God Odin rides
Sword and magic spear held high

Ride down from Asgard
To the battlefield
Bringer of the Valiant Dead
Who died but never yielded

Carry we who die in battle
Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin's waiting for me

(Instrumental Solo)

Carry we who die in battle
Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin's waiting for me

Carry we who die in battle
Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin's waiting

Carry we who die in battle
Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin's waiting

Carry we who die in battle
Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin's waiting for me

Carry we who die in battle
Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla​

SONS OF ODIN

Near To The Blaze I Wander
Through This Black Night I Ponder
The Edge Of Our Mighty Swords Did Clash
Fallen By Our Axes Helmets Smashed

Glory And Fame Blood Is Our Name
Souls Full Of Thunder Hearts Of Steel
Killers Of Men A Warrior’s Friend
Sworn To Avenge Our Fallen Brothers
To The End

One Day Too I May Fall
I Will Enter Odin’s Hall
I Will Die Sword In Hand
My Name And My Deeds Will Scorch The Land

Glory And Fame Blood Is Our Name
Souls Full Of Thunder Hearts Of Steel
Killers Of Men A Warrior’s Friend
Sworn To Avenge Our Fallen Brothers

Sons Of The Gods
Today We Shall Die
Open Valhalla’s Door
Let The Battle Begin
With Swords In The Wind
Hail Gods Of War

Sons Of Odin We Four
By The Hammer Of Thor
Ride Down From The Sky
Another Is Born Another Shall Fall
This Day Men Will Die

Glory And Fame Blood Is Our Name
Souls Full Of Thunder Hearts Of Steel
Killers Of Men A Warrior’s Friend
Sworn To Avenge Our Fallen Brothers

Sons Of The Gods Today We Shall Die
Open Valhalla’s Door

Let The Battle Begin
With Swords In The Wind
Hail Gods Of War

(Narration):
Onward Into The Heart Of The Battle
Fought The Sons Of Odin
Outnumbered Many Times
Still They Fought On
Blood Poured Forth From Their Wounds
Deep Into The Earth
Vultures Waited For The Broken Shells
That Once Were Bodies
But Odin Alone Would Choose The Day
They Would Enter Valhalla
And In Their Hour Of Need
He Sent Forth Unto Them
The Berserker Rage
Now Gods And Men
They Rose Up From The Ground
Screaming Like Wild Animals
Such Is The Gift Of Absolute Power
No Blade Or Weapon Could Harm Them
They Killed Men And Horses Alike
And All Who Stood Before Them Died That Day
Hail Gods Of War​

SPIRIT HORSE OF THE CHEROKEE

The trail of tears began for all the Cherokee
The white men came to trade & borrow but then they would not leave
Some of us were taken by boat, and died at sea
Those of us who lived were sold to slavery

We welcomed them as brothers knowing nothing of their greed
Born hunters not the hunted as the white man hunts for me
We are descendants of the animals we live among the free
Our trail of tears would end one day at Wounded Knee.

Great Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky, Spirit Horse ride for me

When we do the Ghost Dance, the buffalo will return
Paint ourselves for war, now blood and fire burn
Great Spirit makes us strong, take us to the sky
The Cherokee are brave, we are not afraid to die

Great Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky, Spirit Horse ride for me

Red Cloud, Black Hawk, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Geronimo
Strong and brave warriors to the grave

There has been much killing there will be much more
The Medicine Man is dancing he's calling us to war,
Hatchets sing with pride let the white men die

Great Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky, Spirit Horse ride for me​
