BATTLEROAR LYRICS

1. The Wanderer

No feast at the table
My master and brothers are all lost
No one left able
To toast to the gods
Remember thy father
My sword will avenge him at all costs
Doomed to wonder this age of chaos

Watch well what your tongue speaks
When making an oath unto the gods
Be prepared to bleed
All lies have their cost
I sail the seven seas
In search of the dreams that have been lost
Cursed to wander this age of chaos

Each night I do ponder
I gaze at the stars and sing my song
Destined to wander
This age of chaos

2. Vampire Killer

The face of a vampire
That grins in the black
It waits,
In the castle cold
The wings of a demon
That glides in the air
He looks out for blood, so beware

Run, run for your life
Flee from the black pits of hell
Fight, fires alight
Warlocks are casting deadly spells
Strange is the land where spirits dwell

Race against the sands of time
He's got you in his coil
The leather wings and talon's rage
Unfolding to destroy
No mercy for the victim
Who treads upon the blade
And falls apart

Sorcerers and witches
fear the cracking of your whip
Revenants and skeletons
You'll show them all your tricks
Your weapons are a legend
The chain of holy steel
And sacred shield

Hear the voice from the past
You will find out at last
There's a quest that is waiting for you and your soul

A swirl of the chain, the darkness, the rain
The fury, the pain and your power that soars

Vampire Killer

The scream of a virgin
that bleeds in the dark
Resounds
In the dungeons cold

The laugh of a demon
That glides in the air
His life is your blood, so beware

Force, moonlight's the source
Fueling the strength of your foes
Strike, strongest in might
Free now the village from this curse
Hunting the undead overlord

Centuries have passed by
and still the evil reigns
Stealing blood from cursed nights
We all know who's to blame
The hunger of the vampire
The mesmerizing eyes
And killing bite

Sneaking as a night-thief
through the ancient corridors
Your flying whip, a charming snake
It's ready for some more
The vengeance of the hunter
A fighter who was trained
To lift the curse

Hear the voice from the past
You will find out at last
There's a quest that is waiting for you and your soul

A swirl of the chain, the darkness, the rain
The fury, the pain and your power that soars

Vampire Killer

3. Siegecraft

The day has come
To set history
Brave men will fall
For thy victory
Outside the walls
War machines wait
The Battering Ram
Approaches the gate

Blizzard of stones
Storming the wall
Huge flaming arrows
Wait for the call

The challenge is great
Defenders are strong
Besiegers are might
They'll stay for long

Siegecraft, Siegecraft
Siegecraft, Siegecraft

Heart of the castle
Pounds on blacksmith
The Forging is endless
To withstand the siege

This mighty place
Exists to feed war
Iron and fire
Are ready for more

Tortured slaves
Are feeding the pyre
Craftsmen of great skill
Handle with fire

The anvil is singing
For life and for death
The hammer is giving
To metal, the breath

Siegecraft, Siegecraft
Siegecraft, Siegecraft

4. The Tower Of The Elephant

When darkness falls on the city of the thieves
and starlight kisses the golden domes
He walks the streets of Arenjun
Through the shadows of the Maul
Beyond the temples of richness filled
Behind the walls, upon a hill
A silver tower arose in just one night
To guard the secret of the Jewel
This is the story of a necromancer in days of old
Master of black arts, ruling with magic powers

He was taught the knowledge of past ages
By an ancient god he holds captive in chains
Blinded, wingless and tortured the slave is awaiting
The coming of a man, the final spell
Time has come!
The final spell of blood and stone!

Entering the garden
hair black as the night
eyes of blue steel
heathen from northern lands

A meeting with a stranger
they call the king of thieves
Beware of the prowlers
that strike in deep silence

As the city dreams they climb the walls
Reaching the tower's rim
Shining of a thousand jewels blind
the sight of the thieves so bold

Out of the chamber, Taurus falls dead
Stricken by powers unknown
Slaying the spider, Conan the brave
He makes his way through the wizard's stronghold

Inside a darkened room he lies
Descended from outer space
Body of man, the eyes of an elephant cry
The sword of the young barbarian strikes his heart
To unleash the final enchantment

Time has come!
The spell of the blood and the stone

The young man flees as the silver tower crumbles
Gone is the reign of the necromancer
As he turns his head and gazes at the sky
Was it all real or just a strange dream

5. Deep Buried Faith

On frozen lands I seek my home
My end I feel is near
My fate was told so crystal clear
I�ll meet no one to fear
Through all these fights I only felt
My mystic powers unfold
I here now stand so brave and strong
But faithless in my soul

So now the gods will claim my sword
My armour and my shield
For all these years I only longed
My bloodlust to reveal

When the night will flow
Like a stream of blackness, I'll be there
By the northern shores
White ships of Avalon set sail again

Where is my faith, beneath that shadow
that lies floating on the floor
Trying with all my mental powers
Shall be lifted nevermore

Beyond the earthly planes of pleasure and decay
Beneath the abysses where idols rest untamed
My mind's eye gazed in fearful times
the Echoes of a faith once mine

Down secret corridors where sacred bells resound
Pale visions of my olden glory I had found
Behind the doors of death and life
Where no one dares, there I'll ride

When the night will flow
Like a stream of blackness, I'll be there
By the northern shores
White ships of Avalon set sail again

My mind is stormed by thoughts of thunder
My sword tight within my hand
My soul grows stronger starts to uncover
To resurrect my faith
There is my faith, beneath that shadow
Coming down with the rush of storm
Trying with all my mental powers
Faith arose for evermore

6. Dyvim Tvar

Dyvim Tvar - Keeper of the Dragon Horde - Lord of Fire
Dyvim Tvar - Unchain the Rage from Above - Flaming Glory
Almighty leader of dragons of Melnibone
At your command, destruction unfolds
For the glory of Chaos, the Fate's horn calls
In the Wake of the legions of Dyvim Tvar

By the sacred caves outside Imrryr
In a place where no mortal should dare
Lives a race as old as time itself
Ancient allies to the powers of chaos

Bringers of fire and venomous death
Eyes cold as a frozen desert
Shades of dark green and bright gold on their scales
gleaming in spirals of flames

Dyvim Tvar - Keeper of the Dragon Horde - Lord of Fire
Dyvim Tvar - Unchain the Rage from Above - Flaming Glory

Almighty leader of dragons of Melnibone
At your command, destruction unfolds
For the glory of Chaos, the Fate's horn calls
In the Wake of the legions of Dyvim Tvar

Remnants of a perpetual war
In a vortex of cinders they soar
Beastly heirs of lost kingdoms, behold
Where they came from, no one can recall

Great wings are beating with thunderous force
Stendors of knighthood unfurl
Riders with shields and spears mounting the horde
Champions of eternal war

Ancient kings of the sea
Heed the call of Dyvim
You who conquered this world
in olden days
Only few of your elder race remain
Sacred kings, hear my voice
Spread your wings on the waves
To defend with your fire
The gates of Melnibone
When the omens are drawn
And the dice is cast for war

7. Sword Of Crom

Quenched in a mound of snow
Double edged slayer of steel
Brazen skulls of sacred Elks
Horned cross guards, leather wrapped hilt
Metal masters
Ancient bladesmiths
Stole the secrets
Giants beheld
Realms of legend
Where the ice dwells
There was crafted
Mighty father's sword

Oh, Suffer no guilt,
Ye who wield this in the name of Crom!

Gleaming kingdoms he commands
Roaring lions on his banners
Savage pleasures, burning pain
But always there remained
the discipline of steel!

Gladiator,
Seaside raider
Mercenary,
thief and killer
Sworn to tread
Hyborian empires
Under the heels
Of his sandaled feet

Oh, Suffer no guilt,
Ye who wield this in the name of Crom!

Kneel to the sword of Crom!

Oh, Suffer no guilt,
Ye who wield this in the name of Crom!
Suffer no guilt, he who wields thee
In the name of Crom!

8. Narsil (Reforge The Sword)

Through the First Age's course
by the mines at the earth's core
A blade of fire was forged
That shone with the light of Sun and Moon
Banishing darkness and fear
By the Second Age's war
in the year 3441
a Last Alliance was formed
That night, on the plain, were elves and men
and Narsil, the sword of the King

All leaders fell, but Sauron's spirit fled
The remnants told the tale of the broken sword

The shards, preserved
were kept in Rivendell
awaiting for the heir
Numenorean, Eagle of the Star
Chieftain of the Dunedain

Elrond foretold
The sword wouldn't be reforged
Until the ring was found
and the Shadow returned
Then the blade of Elendil
would return to Minas Tirith

The day has come! We're marching off to war
Up from the ashes, your light shall guide us

Flame of the West, soaring unstained
Unextinguishable sun of wisdom
Reforge the sword, as deadly as of old
Your seven stars shall gleam in battle

9. Calm Before The Storm

Before the storm
Before the shadows will swallow the sun
One last glance and I'll be gone
One last song upon my sword

Before the war,
Before this vision of beauty be gone
Suddenly silence falls
And just before the charge
Your mind is blank, but you
Follow the beat of your heart
Echoes of fear will call
Out to your very soul
Leaving you lost
Lost in the eye of the storm

Strong winds run cold
Across the hilltops
Through long manes of gold
One last day and we'll be gone
One last stand before we fall

After the storm
After the shadows have captured the sun
Down on the valley's end
We die with sword in hand
Feeding the fire
That slowly devours the soul
Victories lost and found
Upon a bloodstained ground
High on the mound
Where torches eternally glow

10. Dreams On Steel

Dreams on Steel, forged forever
Poems on blades, we will remember

Twilight fades, moon rays whisper
silver tears on a dragon's wing

Gates of night, free thy secrets
spectral shades, glow in silent flight

Skies of grey, misty mountains
long lost days, relive by your rhyme

Fallen stars, rise in glory
when we'll stand by the lords of light

One last hail and we'll be gone
one last song, lies upon the sword
