DARK FOREST LYRICS

1. The Battle Of Badon Hill

Ride out! Our men need help, ride out to Badon Hill
Unsheathe your British steel and kill!
The day has come at last, the men from foreign shores
Shall suffer at our hands we swore!

Behind this shield my pride is burning up my heart
Our rage and battle cries ring out
The strength of men who stand defending their own land
Shall triumph, victory is at hand!

Heal our land
Our blood stained land

We'll be one with the land we belong
We'll stand strong to defend what we love
Ride them down, crush them all
Victory shall be ours this day!

We'll not yield, never! And we'll strike them to the ground
We'll fight until we cannot stand
And if we die this day, together we shall fall
Our souls will live forevermore!

Heal our land
Our blood stained land

We'll be one with the land we belong
We'll stand strong to defend what we love
Ride them down, crush them all
Victory shall be ours this day!

2. Pipes Of Pan

A forest glade beyond the veil
A gnome begins to tell his tale
Elfin music fills the air

Guided through the astral planes
So familiar, yet so strange
Like a dream we never had

Enchanted waters hidden from sight
A pool beneath the clear moonlight
Across the water, Undines dance

Nights of wonder, nights so still
Faerie lights and hollow hills
Regain the magic we once knew

Another world is shining through
Another world that we once knew
Hear the forest echo, hear the pipes of Pan
And the veil surrounding now becomes undone!

3. The Wizard Of Alderley Edge

Wake Oh knights from thy slumber!
The land that you fought to keep good and green
Has fallen and needs you, needs you!
To fight once again!

Drink of this and take thy fill,
For the water falls by the wizard's will
Arthur awaits our day of need,
Then the King shall arise for all to see!

Ride white mares throughout England!
As Merlin foretold, the true knights of old
With Arthur our Saviour, Saviour!
Now fight for this land

Drink of this and take thy fill,
For the water falls by the wizard's will
Arthur awaits our day of need,
Then the King shall arise for all to see!

4. Dyed In Crimson

Walking through the country on a moonlit night
High up on a hill, a ruin from days of old, haunted so they say
A blood soaked scream cuts through the air

A girl lies slaughtered in the castle grounds
Kneeling by her side, a creature grotesque and foul, dying his cap in her blood
Paralysed with fear as it comes for me

Evil deeds are caught in the aether
Manifesting on the other side
Elementals are born in the darkness
Time for the Red Cap to spill blood again

Try to run away but there's a weight on me
Pulling me down as if the ruin is sinking into the depths of hell
A stab of pain, blood fills my mouth

Evil deeds are caught in the aether
Manifesting on the other side
Elementals are born in the darkness
Time for the Red Cap to spill blood again

5. Excalibur

The sword of power, wielded by Kings
In ages gone by
The lady of the lake, to Merlin she gave
The mighty Excalibur
Handed to Uther, whose lust brought a child
The future King Arthur
Taken by Merlin and raised far from home
The legend was born

The sword was drawn out from the stone
Thrust in by Uther
Arthur the King! In Camelot reigned
The years past in splendour
Guinevere betrayed and Lancelot fled
Arthur lay with Morganna
The incestuous child Mordred was born
To usurp the kingdom

Excalibur - drawn from the stone
Excalibur - holder of all the magic
The dragon's mist rose from beyond
To Avalon, sail forevermore!

Excalibur - drawn from the stone
Excalibur - holder of all the magic
The dragon's mist rose from beyond
To Avalon, sail forevermore!

6. Hollow Hills

7. Fear Dearg

Lost and far from anywhere
A distant light ahead
You're shown into a crooked room
Corpses cooking in the fire
You're told to take your turn
Then darkness covers all your sight

Fear Dearg! Beware the red man at twilight
Fear Dearg! The faerie jester of Elfame is here

Wake up cold on a hillside
Left there all alone
With laughter ringing all around
Every night is a horror
When midnight comes around
You're haunted now, forevermore

Fear Dearg! Beware the red man at twilight
Fear Dearg! The faerie jester of Elfame is here

8. The Wrekin Giant

Down from the ancient black Welsh mountains
He came with murderous intent in his heart,
Beheld a grudge to the town of Shrewsbury
To kill the folk and flood all their lands

So wicked he would dam the Severn
So monstrous: with terror behold…

The Wrekin Giant! He set out to flood our lands
And destroy all our citizens
Oh the terror he doth bring into our lives
Torments us all!

The Wrekin Giant! He set out to flood our lands
And destroy all our citizens
Oh the terror he doth bring into our lives
Torments us all!

The Wrekin Giant! He set out to flood our lands
And destroy all our citizens
Oh the terror he doth bring into our lives
Torments us all!

Then, through the mist the giant came looming
A cobbler approached with trickery at hand
Casting aside the soil he'd gathered
With a thunderous roar he strode into the night...

The Wrekin Giant! He set out to flood our lands
And destroy all our citizens
Oh the terror he doth bring into our lives
Torments us all!

9. Fight For Metal

Marching through the mist, stronger than death
Warriors unite, the guardians of steel
Battle is nigh, blood will be spilt
Metal prevails, crushes the weak

Drinking the ale which fuels us to fight
Posers defeated flee into the night
Storming the gates, banners will fly
Death holds no fear, for metal we'll die!

Leather and spikes shine in the night
Metal will prevail
The glory of steel, burning with pride
Forever standing strong

Rise! Unite! For metal we fight!

Leather and spikes shine in the night
Metal will prevail
The glory of steel, burning with pride
Forever standing strong

Rise! Unite! For metal we fight!

10. Dark Forest

A ghostly mist drifts through the trees
Lingering in the violet gleam
Silent marching, one by one
Dwellers from the forest come

To seek the throne, once left to fall
Saved from ruin, saved for all
To see the power and the might
A glorious reign is now in sight

Hear the woodland pipers call
Ringing through the trees, so tall
Rejoice and sing, a glorious time has come

Heirs to the throne of metal
Steel is shining, Dark Forest rising
Heirs to the throne of metal

Vapors rising from the soil
As they pass, those who are loyal
Shrouded in a mystic light
Specters moving through the night

Death to those who seek the end
Of the steel which we defend
True to ourselves and to our own
Rulers on the metal throne

Hear the woodland pipers call
Ringing through the trees, so tall
Rejoice and sing, a glorious time has come

Heirs to the throne of metal
Steel is shining, Dark Forest rising
Heirs to the throne of metal
