HUMAN FORTRESS LYRICS

1. Raided Land

We march and ride
Through fields and land
Our hearts are filled with pride
We are confident

Our journey leads us on
From the mountains to the sea
Conquer, steal and crucify
In the name of kings and queens

A Spanish man called Cortes
Conquered furious seas
To discover unknown lands
To scavenge for his king

We will kill, we will burn, looting their gold
Surrender, your capital is in our hold

They remain in dread and fear
Facing a genocide
By the grace of God, show no mercy
We’ll enslave them forever
‘til the end of time!

Conquer the land
With the strength and endurance within
Break their will to strive
Almighty

Conquer the land
With the strength and endurance within
It’s useless to defy
Raided land!

Our machinery of war
Anchor’s at the shore
Let’s crucify their flesh
And take their wealth back home

2. Child Of War

There’s nothing I can hear
No one I can see
Nothing that I can feel
That’s the way I’d like to be

There were many things to bear
Shed tons of tears
Too much havoc and crime
Deep inside of my mind

You can’t heal me – wear me down
No one can free me – I have a mind on my own
You can’t heal me – no you don’t
I’m just a lonely soul – a child of war evermore

Always walking all alone
Dine on my own
Feel empty inside
I’m restless at night

That’s my struggle for life
It tears me apart
Though never say die
I’m the one to get by

You can’t heal me – wear me down
No one can free me – I have a mind on my own
You can’t heal me – no you don’t
I’m just a lonely soul – a child of war evermore

3. Wasted Years

The sands of time are burning out
What is all this roar about?
There are many things to do
Now I know
No I can’t brace up myself
Lost in thoughts forever
Just reflecting my past life
Full of pain

Wasted wasted years
Shed so many tears –
I’m walking through the dark
Weighed down with sorrow
Wasted wasted years
It’s so plain to me
I can’t turn back time
Can’t go on – It’s over now

Just before I pass away
There are many things to say
Just my sole heir hold my hand
All alone
My good heart is full of trust
But there’s nothing I can give
I made too many mistakes in my life
Wasted all my property
It got lost forever
Lived too long beyond my means
Now I care

Wasted wasted years
Shed so many tears –
I’m walking through the dark
Weighed down with sorrow
Wasted wasted years
It’s so plain to me
I can’t turn back time
Can’t go on – It’s over now

4. The Chosen One

Maybe only god would know – what could be done
Maybe only god would know – that I’m the chosen one
Is this the end of the world?
Take all the things I cherish and love

Defeat the demons deep inside of me
Sets my marrow on the edge –
I realize there’s no return – no victory
A world of make believe

I am forging my sword of trust
Keep on marching, I am the chosen one
It’s my mission, my passion, my command, my war
What I’m still fighting for

Maybe only god would know – what happens to me
Maybe only god would help – to kill my enemies
Warriors don’t know my fear
But there’s a disbelief – I don’t know what is real

Defeat the demons deep inside of me
Sets my marrow on the edge –
I realize there’s no return – no victory
A world of make believe

I am forging my sword of trust
Keep on marching, I am the chosen one
It’s my mission, my passion, my command, my war
(That’s what) I’m still fighting for

5. Shelter

Our last embrace
One melding gaze
We drenched in tears
No silent reproach
A desperate deed I have to dare

Give me a shelter
Is there a den I follow
I have to fool my enemies
Give me a shelter
One place to hide forever
Want to survive to live my dreams

Saddle my horse for my last ride
They can’t chase me on my secret path
When waft of mist are lying on such miry ground

The time is right to take my sword
The battle axe, arrows and bow
For my defense – there’ll be falling one by one

Give me a shelter
Is there a den I follow
I have to fool my enemies
Give me a shelter
One place to hide forever
Want to survive to live my dreams

6. The Gladiator Of Rome (Pt. 2)

Suspense was killing me
Mortal fear is running through my veins
Time to take the arms
Behind the gates

Here I had to fight
Listened to the deadly battle cries
I’m ready for the fray or my grave

Suddenly – they slam the gate
Blinded by – the daylight glare
Opened my eyes – a hall of arrows
Killed brave brothers

Gladiator – fighting in fury
The devil wants his share – wants my soul
Gladiator – fighting in glory
The arena is my home, my life, my hell

Who are my enemies
Cover me before their next assault
When just a day of grace can save me
Hope for my final deed
May I still survive – hard to believe
When just a day of grace can save me

7. Dark Knight

We fight for our liberty, Teutonic knights invade!
This time we’ll overcome their might!
Soldiers raise your swords!

Strong willed, we engage
The Lithuanian forces – are here to make their stand
Blood is shed across the land
Brave men die
We have to win this battle
Our very last try
As we slay their marshal
He suddenly appears
With brightly shining armour
And terrifying spear
Get away, get away
Save your life and try to escape
No disgrace to be a renegade

Fighting with the darkness
Fighting with our steel
Desperate and weakened
This is how I feel

Fighting on with forces
That will never kneel
Our bows are breaking
Wounds will never heal

Dark knight – storm will rage
The lances heeling in
Corpses left behind
He came to wave the flag

Great his might
Reflecting the light
He’s got a fearless stance

Leads his knights to the fight
Our forces get smite
Flee in mortal fear

8. Prelude

[Instrumental]

9. Pray For Salvation

Lying here in the face of death –
I realise I’ve survived –
Rub my eyes, nothing’s wrong
With aiming high but I lost everything
And pay the price for my greed

Lying here, out of breath I tried to move away
Lean on steel, that spares my sin
Lost in the land of my enemies
Damned to die lonely on a battlefield

Pray for salvation, self-revelation
I have to pray to confess my sins
Show me the way to ride out that day
Rise up to paradise when I die

Pray for salvation, self-revelation
I have to pray to confess my sins
Show me the way to ride out that day
Rise up to paradise and now I die

10. Evil Curse

Don’t you dare
Never touch the wand
Don’t take his elixir
Have to beware
He’ll chant a spell
The bane of your life

Brace yourself
You’ll disappear without any trace
Now burning eyes are watching me
So bright they glare

Evil’s meant to live forever
Hell to pay for now and ever

Don't cast a spell on me
No evil curse on me
You can’t deny the truth
I’m not another prey for you

Desperately
Now it’s time to fight
To prevent my destiny
I will survive
This mortal agony
The bane of your life

11. Restless Souls

We’re the last who left behind
We’re just out to get it right
Just believe the prophecy
That’s our will, our destiny

Against shadows and darkness
Salvation to find the key
Follow stars on our holy way
To the end on judgment day
Curse and passion

We are – band of brothers
Searching, all around the world
We are restless souls
‘till the end of time

Under blue skies, oceans wide
‘round the world leaving all behind
Find the sanctuary
Heal our souls
For ourselves before we fall

Against shadows and darkness
Salvation to find the key
Follow stars on our holy way
To the end on judgment day
Curse and passion

We are – band of brothers
Searching, all around the world
We are restless souls
‘till the end of time

12. Under Siege

One day of shame
We’re longing for a second chance
But we didn’t heed
The warning from our enemy
The breach is irreversible

Under siege
We fight behind our gates of steel
The king of war we’re still fighting for
We swear an oath so heaven can’t wait
It’s no time to die
We will recover from the storm
Raise our swords before we’re gonna fall

They don’t gain ground
But we believe in victory
Our losses should not be in vain
My Lord is sneaking up
Far behind to catch our souls
A bloody prey he can’t let go no

13. Guard The Blind

We’re part of some strange plan
Feel a little lost in Johann’s hand
Who can take a hold –
To save us on the stony ground –
I know

Gonna burn to ashes
A self-defeating prophecy
Gonna fell their lashes
To goat us on
It’s all forlorn

Our king dictates a dreadful war
Follow the blind we’re still fighting for
We’re marching on the path of no return
To try to guard the blind

We couldn’t see the sky
The smoke of battle right in our sight
The moment Johann died
We really had no chance to win this fight

Gonna burn to ashes
A self-defeating prophecy
Gonna fell their lashes
To goat us on
It’s all forlorn

Our king dictates a dreadful war
Follow the blind we’re still fighting for
We’re marching on the path of no return
To try to guard the blind
