ness
Lurking below in it's lair

My mind is set - the aim is vengeance
The mission is to hunt and to kill
Destroy the evil spawn of Lucifer
Driven on by an iron will
I'm the Impaler

My hands are gripping tight on the crucifix
My heart is beating faster - I'm here in the crypt
The light of my torch casts shadows on the wall
Tracking down the coffin in the ancient Hall

Open the casket - I stare in his face
I will track ya! I will get ya!
Raising the hammer
Ending the reign of despair

My mind is set - the aim is vengeance
The mission is to hunt and to kill
Destroy the evil spawn of Lucifer
Driven on by an iron will
I'm the Impaler

Pounding a stake straight through his heart
Black blood spurts in my Face
Centuries of evil come to an end
Demise of an unholy race.

My mind is set - the aim is vengeance
The mission is to hunt and to kill
Destroy the evil spawn of Lucifer
Driven on by an iron will
I'm the Impaler


2. Assassins

We'll meet in your final hour
A perfect moment to die
The contract is due-overdue
The only reason why
Fell the reapers presence
Waiting one step behind
Eternal dark - eternal light
Your sentence of death has been signed

Faster than a gust of wind
No time for you to repent
You cannot run, you cannot hide
The target is in my sights

Assassins
Lords of shadows
Angels of death
Assassins
Bringers of woe
Say your prayers
And take your final breath

Deadly vipers - silent killers
The trap in the dark you won't see
Your futile life is about to end
The horrors became reality
Masters of every weapon
Dwelling in secrecy
Pulling the trigger - the bullets will fly
Nailing down your destiny

Faster than a gust of wind
No time for you to repent
You cannot run, you cannot hide
The target is in my sights

Assassins
Lords of shadows
Angels of death
Assassins
Bringers of woe
Say your prayers
And take your final breath

Your hear footsteps coming near
Terrorized in the grip of fear
Contorted muscles - I'm ready to strike
Hunter and pray in the night
Your angel of death is on your back
Ready to attack

Assassins
Lords of shadows
Angels of death
Assassins
Bringers of woe
Say your prayers
And take your final breath


3. Traitor

A poisoned knife behind my back
Innocent eyes - feigned respect
You swallowed all the years of trust
Now I spit at you in pure disgust

And now your final game
Your life is at the stake
No more lies - take the blame
We understood your fake

Traitor
Hang him high
You gonna pay for all the lies
Traitor
Torture is my name
You gonna burn in endless pain

You bite the hand of those who feed
A bastard grown from evil seed
Purified by fire - in pain you gonna scream
As the flesh is burning up - your soul may redeem

In the end the truth has won
Your life is at stake
Decapitated, betraying scum
We understood your fake

Traitor
Hang him high
You gonna pay for all the lies
Traitor
Torture is my name
You gonna burn in endless pain

In the end the truth has won
Your life is at stake
Decapitated, betraying scum
We understood your fake

Traitor
Hang him high
You gonna pay for all the lies
Traitor
Torture is my name
You gonna burn in endless pain


4. Master Of The Seas

On a green blue desert
Iґm drifting on and on
Battle sounds still echo on inside my wicked mind
Muzzle flash in the dawn

On a mighty fortress
Riding on the waves
And the winds are enslaved
Like a smoke-cutting sword
Raping the elements
As sheґs dancing on our graves

Leading lives of borrowed time
Borrowed time from our fates
Like a knell the shipґs bell chimes
Fragile sounds of hate

No lord nor king or country
Will defeat the sea
Every shotґs a sacrifice
Your blood will set us free

We will survive
Fighting for our lives
The winds of fortune
Always lead us on
Forever free
For the world to see
The fearless masters
Masters of the sea

Servants of the wstern winds
Hail the storms of the north
Captors of the eastern winds
Looting down in the south

No lord nor king or country
Will defeat the sea
Every shotґs a sacrifice
Your blood will set us free

We will survive
Fighting for our lives
The winds of fortune
Always lead us on
Forever free
For the world to see
The fearless masters
Masters of the sea

Look up to the southern sky
My final sunsetґs gonna rise
My spirit will return one day
I swear revenge and close my eyes

The black flag
Will rescue me
Our black flag
Will reign the sea

From the depths of the ocean
Weґll rise to plunder all
We sail towards the yaws of hell
On decks of blood youґll crawl!

Fire!
Open fire!
The skull on black shall never fall

Rapiers, cutlasses held up high
Laughter of marauding hordes
Screams of those doomed to die
As blood is dripping from the swords

Born by kings and queens
And the pure will to live
To kill and to careen
Always take and never give

Follow the pirates call
When youґre lost at all
Weґre all for one
And one for all

We will survive
Fighting for our lives
The winds of fortune
Always lead us on
Forever free
For the world to see
The fearless masters
Masters of the sea


5. Revenge

On through the night the alleys
Deserted and alone
Anger is filling our blakened hearts
Finally turned to stone

Out of all bounds
Out to raise hell again
Screaming all around
Itґs your turn to feel the pain

Revenge
Revenge
Hear the screams and yells
Revenge
Revenge
I condemn you to hell

A drop of your blood for each of my teardrops
A curse to bring you down
Vengeance is all I desire
A beast insideґs unbound

Dirty and mean
A taste of the sweetest wine
A killing machine
Is lurking inside my mind

Revenge
Revenge
Hear the screams and yells
Revenge
Revenge
I condemn you to hell

Iґll take your eyes and spit in your face
Tear off your head and dance on your grave
All of your sins you shall repent
I take my pleasure in your punishment

Out of all bounds
Out to raise hell again
Screaming all around
Itґs your turn to feel the pain

Revenge
Revenge
Hear the screams and yells
Revenge
Revenge
I condemn you to hell


6. Symphony Of Pain

Below the floor in the attic
Chained by a spell
A creature bare of flesh
From the abyss of hell
Unconsidered by a drip of blood
You broke the seal
And now a vicious demon
Is about to reveal

Satisfy the hunger
Feed me!
Let me plunge into flesh and blood
And let me play to you

The symphony of pain
Written down in hell
Welcome to the reign
Welcome! To my symphony of pain

My powers are growing
Night after night
As you bring on the victims
To please my appetite
Unspeakeable torture
I had to bear
But now Iґm rising up
I will leave my sepulchral lair

Iґm on a blood marked trail of wrath
Follow me!
Undead among the living
Iґm gonna play

The symphony of pain
Written down in hell
Welcome to the reign
Welcome! To my symphony of pain

The symphony of pain
Written down in hell
Welcome to the reign
Welcome! To my symphony of pain


7. Beyond The Veil

Clenching my fists in the darkness
I can feel shadows drawing near
A pounding heart that breaks the silence
So full of life and full of fear

Hear the battleґs thunder as the clouds increase
Time will come to stand or fall
Demons of the land - Ghosts of the seas
Dressep up for the evil ball

Glory to the blood bound brothers
The hounds of hell
For the darkness will prevail
Demons of the seven seas
To thy spirits we are sworn
Weґve setting sail
From beyond the veil

See the grim smile on our faces
Determination in our eyes
Past and future are embracing
As the wind is lashing on the skies

Hear the battleґs thunder as the clouds increase
Time will come to stand or fall
Demons of the land - Ghosts of the seas
Dressep up for the evil ball

Glory to the blood bound brothers
The hounds of hell
For the darkness will prevail
Demons of the seven seas
To thy spirits we are sworn
Weґve setting sail
From beyond the veil

Time to feed the fire
For the truth unfold
Take up the gauntlet
In the hour of the bold

Glory to the blood bound brothers
The hounds of hell
For the darkness will prevail
Demons of the seven seas
To thy spirits we are sworn
Weґve setting sail
From beyond the veil


8. Battle Rages On

Another night in this burning hell
Mind the reaperґs eyes
Heґs out in the fields
All the doubts illusions and fears
When time is up the horror reveals
Out in the fields

Glory for you and me
Got to try and dare
Here is decay to see
Blood everywhere

Shouts of joy
Tears of laughter and pain
And all your deeds shall remain
Screams of death
Standing relentless and strong
The battle is raging on

Constant barrage all night and day
But when silence is falling
Death is near
Pay with blood for every inch
Crimson tides are washing away all your tears
As the reaper appears

Glory for you and me
Got to try and dare
Here is decay to see
Blood everywhere

Shouts of joy
Tears of laughter and pain
And all your deeds shall remain
Screams of death
Standing relentless and strong
The battle is raging on

Shouts of joy
Tears of laughter and pain
And all your deeds shall remain
Screams of death
Standing relentless and strong
The battle is raging on


9. Art Of War

Protectors of the realm
A living horror for all the weak
Denying gold and riches
Itґs honor and glory they seek

Their minds wonґt be mislead by love nor hate
To kill is an art performed by the blade

The art of war
Living for the sword
The art of war
Where honorґs the only reward

Severing your head
While your bodyґs rotting on the fields
Shameґs all to fear
The brave and the bold need no shields

They battle one on one - To win or to die
Fame for all eternity - No one can decry

The art of war
Living for the sword
The art of war
Where honorґs the only reward

The art of war
Living for the sword
The art of war
Where honorґs the only reward


10. 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


11. 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...
