Empire Of The Lost

Silence - Nothing but silence
All around me now
Nothing - Nothing remained
Nothing but emptiness
In a world bare of life

The screams echo on
On the wind in the empty streets
Telling the tale
Of the final defeat

Guardians of the dying flame
Facing the final storm
Damned to be alive
In the empire - Empire of the lost
Sole survivors
In the ashes of yesterday
Let down by the gods
In the empire - Empire of the lost

Ruins and rubble, records of the past
They are standing sentinel in the twilight of the vast
Burnt down by a fire coming from the sky
Now life is sentenced - The world is doomed to die

No turning back
No way to undo whatґs been done
The final night is falling
All will be gone

Guardians of the dying flame
Facing the final storm
Damned to be alive
In the empire - Empire of the lost
Sole survivors
In the ashes of yesterday
Let down by the gods
In the empire - Empire of the lost

Will life return - what is to come?
Will it rise up once again when we are gone?
Buried in the dust of time - Our destiny is signed
This is our legacy - We are leaving the world behind

No turning back
No way to undo whatґs been done
The final night is falling
All will be gone

Guardians of the dying flame
Facing the final storm
Damned to be alive
In the empire - Empire of the lost
Sole survivors
In the ashes of yesterday
Let down by the gods
In the empire - Empire of the lost

The Gods Made Heavy Metal

[Manowar cover]

In the beginning there was silence
And darkness all across the Earth
Then came the wind and a hole in the sky
Thunder and lightning came crashing down
Hit the Earth and split the ground
Fire burned high in the sky

From down below fire melted the stone
The ground shook and started to pound

The Gods made Heavy Metal and they saw that it was good
They said to play it louder than hell
We promised that we would
When losers say it's over with, you know that it's a lie
The Gods made Heavy Metal and it's never gonna die

We are the true believers
It's our turn to show the world
In the fire of Heavy Metal we were burned
It's more than our religion
It's the only way to live
But the enemies of Metal we can't forgive

'Cause we believe in the power and the might
And the Gods who made Metal are with us tonight

The Gods made Heavy Metal and they saw that it was good
They said to play it louder than hell
We promised that we would
When losers say it's over with, you know that it's a lie
The Gods made Heavy Metal and it's never... gonna die!

We believe in the power and the might
And the Gods who made Metal are with us tonight

We're here tonight for Heavy Metal
Are you ready in the hall?
They have chosen us
And we have heard the call
Gonna tear the roof off with out sound
Crack the walls and shake the ground
Fight tonight for metal one and all

'Cause we believe in the power and the might
And the Gods who made Metal are with us tonight

The Gods made Heavy Metal and they saw that it was good
They said to play it louder than hell
We promised that we would
When losers say it's over with, you know that it's a lie
The Gods made Heavy Metal and it's never gonna die...

Master Of The Seas

[Edited version is only available on the Japanese version]

 

[LongLife]

Hammer Of The Gods

Deadly attack at the sirens call
A thunderous sound as the weapon falls
Hammering fear inside your heart
Try to face the danger ripping you apart

Suicidal weapon
For the final attack
Face the last curtain
There's no turning back

Feel the hammer of the gods
Mankind is bound to fall
Feel the hammer of the gods
Certain death from above

Erased landscapes and poisoned seas
Nuclear winter devastates your dreams
Burning cities and melting flesh
All you loved has turned to ash

Path of destruction
The signs of defeat
Stand up and fight
Or die on your knees

Total destruction, nuclear waste
Masters of power digging our graves
Terminal war abandoned all hope
The neck of mankind caught in a rope

Arise!

The hour of decision -- Now it's close at hand
To end their reign, tear down the walls, unify the land
Break the chain of command -- Cut the wires now
Bloodlust in our eyes -- Through their ranks we'll plough

Decode the words -- A strike full of hate
Unlock the doors -- A strike of the blade

Arise! Out of the dark
Heroes of the realm returneth
Arise! Out of the dust
Arise! Shine forevermore

Frozen mutants tremble before they turn to dust
Now we will kill, we will win, we'll be victorious
Time's up for the palace on this melting ground
A ray of sun breaks the ice with a cracking sound

Deep down in caverns -- Below the poisoned waterline
The sound of howling sirens crawls into their minds
Corpses end their endless sleep in a machine's sigh
Smoke and fire, tumbling walls -- Fear opens up their eyes
A Lament in the guild of thieves -- Cut and chopped off hands
A senseless beg for mercy a blackened, bloody end

Face Of Death

Sudden ambush
Dead of the night
Disintegrating
Shadows to light

Know that the run from the law don't make no sense at all
When the signs differ now from a block to the block
And the wolves and the snakes as they wait for our fall
And they'll feast on your blood and your shocks

Back to back the brothers fighting
Chains and maze beat down
Bastards screaming mutants howling
Freezing time as one fell down

And the smoke is rising
All pictures frozen in
A false move so fatal
A mask of horror and sin
Face of death

Eyes wide open
Adrenaline
Another soul
Caught by death

Fast is the end of your life always unexpected
Black is the curtain that falls down on you
Souls that flare up and then cease to exist
In a blink of an eye and in hours for you

Stabbing knives -- An ancient slow-mo
Blood's painting pictures red
A scream will end this illusion
Looking down find your friend dead

 

[LongLife]

Halls Of Doom

The blood of my brother
Now crusts on my skin
Lingering echoes of laughter
Feeds the pain that I'm in

Pray to gods and demons
For this nightmare to end
The chains shall be broken
They shall die by my hand

The breeze of death from the black's drifting in
Lie and betray but the reaper will win

Darkness awaits in the black halls of doom
The plague takes hold of mankind
Forever trapped in the black halls of doom
Life's cut by the sense of the time
Forever undead

A howl from the shadows
The screams from aside
Taste of blood when you swallow
In this church of the night

Eyeless skulls smile at me
Hear them loud in my head
Ancient bones will guide you
On a trail of the dead

Revelations

...[Instrumental]...

 

[LongLife]

Forgotten Prophecies

Beyond all the shadows -- Search behind the black gate
Your journey through darkness and cold shall begin
Forgotten paths in secrecy
An ancient silver plate
A garden of horror and fear
Where the truth lies in

Pages crumble -- In the dust of time
Etched new wisdoms on book's spines

Forever lost in time
Clutch the broken straw
Those who believe
In the lost forgotten prophecies

Annoying voices will infiltrate your mind
The spotlight's on you -- The clouds shall move aside
Remember all the prophet's words;
A blind shouldn't lead the blind
This won't be a childish dream
Nor a supernatural ride

Revealed forces of the universe
A look through the eyeglass in reverse

Forever lost in time
Clutch the broken straw
Those who believe
In the tales of war

Awaiting their time
Waiting for a sign
Fulfill the lost
Forgotten prophecies

 

[LongLife]

Agony

Fading pictures in a desert's heat
Of a world that died so long ago
Long lost forgotten dreams
And broken heroes died in the fields
Blood's preventing them from rust
We were crushed by the wheels

In bloodless times
Obey the machines
With every breath
Hail the machines

Life in agony under the spell
Live and die -- To be reborn
Reborn in hell

Ancient scrolls have turned to dust
Lonely preachers lost their trust
Metalian deities
Feed on human daily sacrifice
Beyond those leaden clouds
They die with open eyes

Life in agony under the spell
The time won't tell no more tales
Pain and agony -- Bearing the spell
Live and die -- Only to be reborn
Reborn in hell

Hours, months and years did pass - So much wasted time
Not to dare to move or think -- Staring at the signs
Raping, abusing, plunder and cut out your heart
Chained and locked in for 10 bloody years in the dark
Watch the people pray for some kind of heaven
Listen to the screams and cries last for 24/7
The dreams of freedom died long ago in the night
A state of despair killed your strong will to fight
