- A Brotherґs Tale
In the land of ice, ice, ice and snow
A child was abandoned by his own
Destined to become a great, great warrior
Soon to discover his true ancestry
He is the twin brother of the despot king
Thrown away to clean the path for his younger sibling
His purpose is to reconquer his throne
- Ahnenreih
Daham is Daham und deïs güt fia imma
Do kaunst a zruck die Leidn mitbringa
Duat wirst vastaundn, wiast kheat, wiast gspiat
Souvü die Sö, dei Sö a bliat
Sie sogt Du und dei Tscheppaweak, muass I neït vasteïn
Moch wos da Freit mocht, los da guat dabei geïn
- Armored Bards
We went through the darkest hours only to be here for you
We fought the hardest battles just for you
We left the highest mountains and the deepest seas behind
Only to play tonight our songs for you
We are the armored bards from behind the Alps
We are here – to hear you scream
Come with us on a journey to
- Ascension
Face to face we meet on the field
Two men sworn to kill for eternity
Only the strongest will survive
Draw your sword and let us fight
The first blow meets and rips my shield -
My shield broke apart
My defense destroyed
- Bifrost
Die Zeit ist schon lang vorbei
Ich werd nie mehr zu Kampfe ziehn
Nie mehr meinen Mut beweisen
Mein Schwert nie mehr in Knochen beißen
Nie mehr wird ich in Feindesblut
Meinen Körper baden können
Doch wird man meinen Heldenmut
Noch in vielen Sagen nennen.
- Chants
It was a dark autumn moon
And we celebrated our crop
We were glad that we had
A winter without
Hunger before us
Every man and woman
Was light hearted at this night
Also the wine run down fast our throats
- Dragon's Eyes
Riders of honor
On the Quest for gold and glory
They make for the mountains
Dark Dungeons they will seek
Reign if the dragon
All will die in darkness
For the name of honor
- Endless Sorrow
It is a day like so many before
Only cold wind and rain behind the closed door
Only darkness fulfills the saturnine room
I am sitting lonely in perfect gloom
I haven't seen the sun
Since the day you left me
No smile on my face
- Fight
Metal is my heart, my soul, it is charging my inner self
It streams wild through the veins, releasing me from my chains
Giving me the power to be free
Let us hear your cry for battle, shouting out: Forever Metal!
Never calm! Come on, move on!
Stand your ground for this sound!
- Fortress Of Faith
Arm the men and the lads
Sun will rise
Close the doors they will come
Four our lord
Man the towers arrows will fly
Let us prevail
Fire will rise bring them on
Prepare for battle
- Freundschaft
Die Welt ist kalt und voller Lüge
Das Dunkle in ihr ist da zur Genüge
Doch ist da ein Lichtschein am Horizont
Ein goldener Funke in jedem Ding wohnt
Freundschaft bringt Licht an die dunkelsten Orte
Drum hört die Geschichte, entsinnt meiner Worte
- Glut Zu Flamme
Ich stehe auf der Brücke hier und seh hinab zu m Fluß
Der Strom des Lebens fließt vorbei, ich geb ihr einen Kuss
Denk zurück an alte Tage, da war alles noch gut
Seh sie an, stell mir die Frage, plötzlich entflammt die Glut
Will ich wirklich mich am Dasein laben, leben bis zuletzt?
Den freien Fall, soll ich ihn wagen? Den ersten Schritt nun gehen?
- Inner Force
Another year, Another time of struggle
You went with us through all the highs and lows you can imagine
Another year, another time of real big fights
Standing on stages only for you my dearest friends
Sometimes it looked like we will loose the fight
We put in this hard work our sweat and tears and blood
Sometimes it looked like we won´t make it anymore
- Messenger Of God
Since countless days he does ride
To distant lands of legends
His skin is frozen from snow
Only to serve his master
He has to run
Spread the word
Of his lord!
- No Mercy
Fight Fight Fight find them
Fight Fight Fight hunt them
Fight Fight Fight kill them
Fight Fight Fight show no mercy!
Kill Kill Kill the enemy
Kill Kill Kill all of them
Kill Kill Kill everyone
- Northstar
We leave this land
To seek the islands for treasure
We leave this land never coming home
In defiance of privation
To crew is zest for action
Yearning for the adventure
Is Stronger than the jeopardy
- Oathbreaker
Deforestation
Contamination
Brutalisation
Extinction
Verdant green turns to grey
Sky high monuments of decay
Innocent souls scream in pain
- Raiment
A child so small (so small), a faraway land (faraway land)
Reaching out (reaching out) for her stars
Narrow horizons (horizons) at the end (end)
Keeping her down (down), stealing her light (light)
We need more, forever more
Our hunger shall be appeased
We need more, forever more
- The Blight
Enemies of the light envoys from the other side
Mounted might. We choose the night
Try to stand our pride
Enemies of the light checkless blight. Omnicide
We are born for the fight
We are wolfs. We are dragons. We are hate and
We are fear. Our home is the battlefield
- Theatre Of Battle
We are awaking from the night
Arming ourselves
For the theatre of battle
Long time eager for the fight
Arming ourselves
For the theatre of battle
Marching to the battle with no fear
- Wahrheit
Das Lichterspiel erhellt die Seele
Will doch gar nichts andres wissen
Will doch ruhig und heimlig dösen
Will in Wahrheit sich doch lösen
Von all schweren Erdendingen
Weilen in der Endlichkeit
Wo die Grenzen klar gezogen
Und die Äcker schon bestellt
- Walls Of Vienna
Oriental flags are blowing in the shimmering red
Wind praising an army on large scale
Behind the city walls warriors strengthen themselves
Do not give up until the last drop of blood
They marched cumbersome and far from Turkey
Against the land of the Alps to bring ruin
The rugged landscape has no pity
- Weisheitskrieg
Ausgebreitet ihre Schwingen,
Schweifen Raben um die Almen,
Und es singen, singen, singen
Knaben friedsam ihre Psalmen
Kriegerblut fließt mir zur Greiszeit,
Lebenskraft, die überschwillt,
Seelenkampf im Krieg der Weisheit,
- Wilderness Lore
Edging away in the morning sun
Out to the woods to escape from traitors
Fast as a the dashing wolf
Leaving my live behind
Can you hear the falcons call
Shouting out for you
Wolfs are chasing through the woods
- Winterking
I open my eyes
I see the sun shining through the night
The light that blinds Reflex the fear thet I have no time
I watch the leaves
I see the glance shining icy bright
The day has come
I step outside facing darker side
- Wizard's Life
Night, long ago
When this faithful child was born
Prophecy in his hands
Blessed with power of the gods
Fire burning in his mind
Dusk of the light
Evil creeping in his soul
- Wolkenbruch
Jahrelang hab ich versucht
Meinem innern zu entfliehn
Doch halt es mich schon so fest
Das es mich ewig schaudern lässt
Ich will doch nur
Endlich raus aus meinem Kerker
Ich will doch nur
- От героев ...
От героев былых времен не осталось порой имен.
Те, кто приняли смертный бой, стали просто землей и травой.
Только грозная доблесть их поселилась в сердцах живых.
Этот вечный огонь нам завещан и одним. Мы в груди храним.
Поглядии на моих бойцов, целый свет помнит их в лицо
Вот застыл батальон в строю, снова старых друзей узнаю.
