Sight a brand new horizon Ascending from the hearts of those who couldn't see The decline of man, the final stage of war
Spectral forces of mankind We're all trapped inside the core of the machine Our time has come to find a way back home
We seek our destiny in thee In the eye of the storm A genesis is born, reborn
Riders of the storm - one with the wind, defenders of creation Riders of the storm - aligned with the sun
Phantom powers rule the earth Descending down, controling you and me What is left to see, is it all but a dream
On the inside looking out Kept within a cage, behind a false facade They can't keep us down cause our strenght is our will
We dream of a genesis reborn Where our spirits fly free Let us choose our own destiny
Riders of the storm - one with the wind, defenders of creation Riders of the storm - aligned with the sun
Speak the word of Nemesis Call for thunder call for rain Let us meet our Genesis Save us from the unholy pain
[Solo: Oscar]
[Lead: both]
Riders of the storm - one with the wind, defenders of creation Riders of the storm - aligned with the sun

Heeding The Call, one and for all never surrender, with glory we'll fall Brothers unite, let's stand up and fight fulfilling our fate, we are Heeding The Call
Stone Cold
Stromblad, Dronjak, Cans
Outcast a time of war, when mankind lost control of life and death, under surveillance
I watch the children pray, while god just turns away out in the ruins they seek shelter These streets were once my home, but those golden days are gone, now I'm fighting to survive Stone cold, the end of our dream
The sword is on the street, it's kill or to be killed with no exception you are on your own
We should have seen it all along, the writings on the wall, tell me what have we become
Stone cold ...
Who do you belive in now, when the prophecy came true, the final deja vu
These streets were once my home ...
Stone cold ...
Hero's Return
In a time of fear and confusion, silence charging the air The sunlight is gone, darkness lives on in the heart of the dragon's lair
Lost in a world of illusions No trace of the missing ore Stealing our souls, we're out of control, knocking at death's door
All our beliefs fading into ashes Heed the words that we pray
For a Hero's Return our hearts still yearn Rise and conquer, let the infidels burn
Now we charge, the battle is raging, blood runs everywhere Our anger is fierce, avenging the years No time for a final prayer
Behold, the might of the hammer, elliptical bolts of fire There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide You're down to the wire
Somewhere out there lies a new tomorrow for me and those who believe
For a Hero's Return our hearts still yearn Rise and conquer, let the infidels burn For a Hero's Return our hearts still yearn Rise and conquer, let the infidels burn
Oooh...
Now, I've returned from a place far beyond My mission I set, let it be done
We still belive in a brighter future The dreams are ours to fulfil
For a Hero's Return....
Legacy of Kings

The Unforgiving Blade
When the sky is turning black, you fear the dawn Your inner voice compels you, but you're all alone Thy secret sense lies still obscure within your shattered dreams, and all you can do is scream
Long ago you spoke the words of heresy Twenty years of running brings back memories All your wisdom made me seek the truth that lied beyond my inner dreams
"Follow the one that fell from the crimson skies" I remember the words, I can never forget your demise
And now your world's falling down For all the games that you played And as your soul's falling down You'll meet The Unforgiving Blade
Should have seen it coming when you rolled the dice Deeper and deeper, falling, away from your paradise
[Solo: Stefan]
Innocent eyes observing the Crimson Skies, awaiting for someone to heal the burning lies
And now your world's falling down For all the games that you played And as your soul's falling down You'll meet The Unforgiving Blade
And now your...
Glory to the Brave
Dronjak, Stromblad, Cans
Snow is falling down on this glorious land colors fading, turning into white again To fallen heroes angels sting, they cry their winter tears endless mourning days will turn to years
So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away now
Nothing on earth stays forever but none of your deeds were in vain Deep in our hearts you will live again you're gone to the home of the brave
Every solemn moment I will treasure inside even though it's hard to understand that a silent wind can blow that candle out taking everything leaving the pain far behind
You call out my name, but your voice is fading into the wind, embraced, you'll fly away now, fly away now
Nothing on earth stays forever but none of your deeds were in vain Deep in our hearts you will live again you're gone to the home of the brave
My eyes are closed I feel you're faraway (so close) far beyond that shining star I know you'll find what you've been fighting for far beyond that shining star
Down on bended knee I pray, bring courage to these souls make'em live forever in the heart of the bold So I say farewell my friends, I hope we'll meet again when my time has come to fall from the grace
So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away now
Nothing on earth stays forever but none of your deeds were in vain Deep in our hearts you will live again you're gone to the home of the brave

Let the Hammer Fall
It's getting closer now the clock strikes midnight time It is the tolling of the judgement bell You fear the dead of night there ain't no place to hide This is your point of no return Now we are ready to strike, again It's getting far to late, my friend Let The Hammer Fall We are above the law let our power show That we're in full control of your destiny Now we are ready to strike, again It's getting far to late, my friend Let The Hammer Fall Oh, oh, oh... We're getting closer now the chill of distant eyes Your on a dead end street into the night Now we are ready to strike, again It's getting far to late, my friend Let The Hammer Fall Let the Hammer... FALL
Renegade
See the outlaw stands alone beneath the burning sun The raging badlands now is his home There's no sign of victory, he lost his liberty and the only woman that he loved
An outlaw chasing outlaws, a runner in the night By the radiant moon he will strike The seeker of all dangers has come to take his toll From the dead of night he will arise
Renegade, Renegade Committed the ultimate sin Renegade, Renegade This time the prowler will win
He stalks in shadow lands, soundless, with gun in hand Striking like a reptile, so fierce No chance to get away, no time for your last prayer When the prowler sneaks up from behind
An outlaw chasing outlaws, the hunter takes his pray The law of the jungle he obeys Craving for the danger to even out the scores Face to face, once and for all
Renegade, renegade Committed the ultimate sin Renegade, renegade This time the prowler will win
On through the night he rides, on his raging horse made of steel Nothing can save you now, before the renegade you will kneel
Renegade, Renegade Committed the ultimate sin Renegade, renegade This time the prowler will win
Renegade, Renegade Committed the ultimate sin Renegade, renegade This time the prowler will win
Steel Meets Steel
Dronjak
Back in 1095, when the call to arms came we had the red cross sown on Sent to save the holy land and crush the infidels with strength from above
STEEL MEETS STEEL
On towards victory we march, the guiding star lead us to the battle field There, the heathens were subdued, and in the end we forced them all to yield or die
STEEL MEETS STEEL
In July in '99, the Holy City was stormed and won Jerusalem was freed, we thanked the lord for our glory
We, the Templars, have survived by honor and pride and the blessing of the sword The quest of the war, forever sung to the sound of steel meets steel
STEEL MEETS STEEL
Crimson Thunder
We are the voices in the dark Inside the fire we are the Eternal Spark that will guide the way
We are the stars up in sky We gather winds so you can fly We are the light when you're sleeping
All your dreams can come true "Where do we go?" We're just a heartbeat away
Follow the signs of the Crimson Thunder We will stay by your side Let our voices be there to guide you
We are forces in the rain Inside your heart we are the unending answer to all your fears
So take a step towards the light The crimson sky fullfills the night The revelation is near
All your dreams can come true "Where do we go?" We're just a heartbeat away
Follow the signs of the Crimson Thunder... We will stay by your side Let our voices be there to guide you
[Solo: Stefan]
All your dreams can come true...
Follow the signs of the Crimson Thunder...
Templars of Steel
The hands of time have brought you here to make a change, to break down the walls You are the ones and you are the only trying to live by your own goals
And you all cry for freedom Raise your fists to the sky
Let your voice speak for the revolution All join forces with all the powers that you feel Let your heart beat for the revolution Led by the Templars of Steel
Let's spread the word of the sole survivors with metal pounding inside their souls The fire burns, and it will forever blaze for the ones who stands strong
And you all cry for freedom with your fists in the sky
Let your voice speak for the revolution All join forces with all the powers that you feel Let your heart beat for the revolution Led by the Templars of Steel You are the Templars of Steel
Oh, oh, oh ...
Let your voice speak for the revolution All join forces with all the powers that you feel Let your heart beat for the revolution Led by the Templars of Steel
Let your voice speak for the revolution All join forces with all the powers that you feel Let your heart beat for the revolution Led by the Templars of Steel You are the Templars of Steel
Hearts On Fire
We saw the writings on the wall When heathens ruled above us all Tormented, we still heard the call
You come to bring us down Wield the scepter, steal the crown Time on the throne is running out
'Cause seasons change but we are still the same Event though the cold winds blow we're burning like a flame '
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire Burning, burning with desire Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire Burning, burning with desire Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire Burning, burning with desire Burning for the steel
Hearts On Fire
For years shunned by society Outcasts, condemned for our beliefs Our legions grew in secrecy
And now, the time is here I see the Templars everywhere The Freedom Call is drawing near
We hold our rebel banners up with pride The colour's crimson and the Hammer is the sign
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire Burning, burning with desire Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire Burning, burning with desire Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire Burning, burning with desire Burning for the steel
[Solo: Stefan]
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire...
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire Burning, burning with desire...

The Dragon Lies Bleeding (Bonus Track)
Stromblad, Cans
Ride through the valley in thunder and rain The battle is raging, redeem this domain The castle of Eden lies silent above Darkness surrounds us, away we must go
I look through the eyes of the world I see there's a stranger among us Awaiting a sign from above To conquer the power and the glory
Enter the battle, our will to enchain bringing us forward, defeating the pain Into the meeting with swords made of steel We're standing together, the secret reveals
I look through the eyes of the world I know who's the stranger among us Awaiting a sign from above to conquer Tthe power and the glory
Come across to the promised land Close your eyes I will take your hand Through the river of steel we'll go When the dragon lies bleeding
Above the glory we'll carry on Now the time has come to return back home The setting sun illuminates the dead On the battlefield it's shining red
Silent lies Eden on top of the moor We're fighting with honor protecting our Lord The last one survivor lies bleeding, I kneel Into his heart I settle the steel
I look through the eyes of the world There is no stranger among us we march through the end of the world in search of the power and the glory
Come across to the promise land...

A Legend Reborn (Bonus Track)
You've been fighting for much to long You saw the future and what to come Restless spirits out on the run, among the shadows of the sun
You are the rising resistance now We've come to show you a way somehow Beyond the past and in secrecy, we found it all, but we want more
We come from the age of chivalry Metal machines, unchained and free We are hear for you to see
Flying on wings of steel, thundering, we are breaking the seal Fighting for the oath we sworn, to spread the word of a Legend Reborn
Moving silent like a gentle breeze We're the troops of metal and we do as we please We are the restless, we are the wild, burning hearts that never die
We are going against the tide The hammer has fallen, a thorn in your side Break the silence or take the fall The mighty Templars will take it all
Welcome the age of chivalry, were we all will be set free It's the time for you and me
Flying on wings of steel, thundering, we are breaking the seal Fighting for the oath we sworn, to spread the word of a Legend Reborn
Sons and brothers fight or fall With our sisters and daughters We're standing one for all
Flying on wings of steel, thundering, we are breaking the seal Fighting for the oath we sworn, to spread the word of a Legend Reborn
Flying on wings of steel, thundering, we are breaking the seal Fighting for the oath we sworn, to spread the word of a Legend Reborn
