VALHALLA LYRICS

1. The Awakening

[M/L: Jevo]

Long time ago into the deep caves
Under the Mountains Of Hope
The Gods of Thunder
Gathered to create a perfect being
Hammerers and forgers
Worked together day after day
Night after night
Only they knew the secrets of steel
Finally a mighty creature was born
Made of forged iron, fire and steel
He was the Master of all the elements
He had the gift of immortality
Thousands of descendants
Spread all over the Universe
All his sons were made of flesh and bones
The flame still burns
Within their Hearts of Metal
They will never die
The Gates of Valhalla await.

2. Ride Of Norsemen

[M/L: Jevo]

We sailed the North Sea up and down
Spreading norman piracy
Searching for conquest and for loot
Reached the Mediterranean sea

Reckless and daring vikings
Pirates of northern lands
Searching for gold and treasures
Wild men of war

Side by side - by means of hard axe blows
One by one - they fell to the ground
Side by side - with swords strokes and arrows
One by one - to die suffering were they bound

Founding reigns in Irish lands
Up the Seine we took Paris
The wrath of Odin did we bring
Burning towns from France to Greece

By drakkars crossed the oceans
Boarding warships and boats
Inland we raped and plundered
Thirsty for blood

Side by side - with power of Norsemen
One by one - their ships did we burn
Side by side - we sailed up the rivers
One by one - destroying the towns we found

3. Metalopolis

[M/L: Jevo]

Far from the place you live,
Away from the din.
There is a land of joy,
Amusement and spree.
Called Metalopolis,
The town of your dreams.
Made of green grass and trees
And clear water streams.

Rivers of sweet wine
And lakes full of beer,
Delightful dishes everywhere.
All girls are gorgeous
Who you can romp with,
While birds chip metal melodies.

Come with me to a never Neverland
And you'll see
Landscapes of trees and lush.
Stay a while so we can have some fun
In this world of bliss

No fumes in the atmosphere,
Fresh air's what you breathe,
People are really free
And live without fear.
A place where Metal rules
And work's not allowed.
Beer is the only God
And binge is the law.

Lightly clad women
lying on the lawn.
Pleasantly basking in the sun
Huge amplifiers placed
along the streets
to play loud metal symphonies

4. Resurrection (Shadow Of The King Part II)

[M/L: Jevo]

Voice of death is calling
I'm running through the dark
Cold is blood of power
Cold is in my heart

Heaven's waiting for me
Not ready to die
Cross the line before fear highs

Gods I will fight searching for resurrection
The end of the dream hurts like a silent scream
Now, I will fight, revenge's my own light
Here I stand, sorrow land, evil hate 'til the end

Sorrow marches through the
Mighty hands of god
Now I pray for my return

Defend what I believe
It's my only way of life
Defending my son my own life

Resurrection gives me strength to war
To bring me home, to carry on
Resurrection heals me more and more
To fight in life
To live in shadows every night

5. Egypt

[M: Patxa, Iván, Mikel, Jevo / L: Jevo]

In a land, close to the Nile
Surrounded by desert is Egypt.
Down below, under the sand
Lie the rest of ancient kings.

Ooh, relics and gold in their graves
Ooh, better not desecrate.

Many centuries ago
Egyptian kings
were protected by the Gods
For their Glory and Peace

In the land of pyramids
I found my doom
And the curse will follow me
For all eternity

Egypt, the legend, curse of the pharaohs
Horus, Osiris, wrath of the Gods
Suffering and Sorrow, the prophecy reveals
Egypt forgive me, the curse fulfills

Tales were told that I did ignore
About maledictions and curses
Now my soul, eternally damned
Until the End of all days

Ooh, shadows appear in my dreams
Ooh, grim visions, demons of greed

Hidden traps and labyrinths
Were not enough
And I entered the vault
To appease my greed
Hieroglyphics on the wall
Signs on the stone
Maledictions shall be cast
For whom profane the tombs

6. The Outlaw

[M/L: Jevo]

Listen, I´m an outlaw
Riding to live and living to ride.
Wanted for my misdeeds
Yes, I am wanted dead or alive.

Born of a wolf and a rattlesnake
Strong whisky runs through my veins
Black is my horse, like the wings of Death
As I ride through desert plains

Ride like the wind over prairies and cannyons
The reward for my head´s so high
But I laugh, gallows will wait!

Trainraids, banks and ranches
Gold and dollars, I rob without rest.
Faster than my shadow
I'm the fastest gunman in the West.

Watch out your back when I'm on the run
For even the redskins fear me
Riots and women at the saloons
Playin' poker I always cheat

7. To The Other Side

[M: Patxa, Jevo / L: Jevo]

Your time is up,
Listen to the bells, they´re tolling
The race against the Reaper no one wins.
Remember now
All those years of pain and pleasure
Thoughts and memories gone with the wind

One shiny light
Leads you through the darkness.
What is beyond
You will see.

Spread your wings and fly
Up to the rainbow
Fly and cross the Gates Of Paradise
The hands of time, they never rest
Ticking on and on...and on.

Leave all behind
You´ve got what you need,
Just one ticket to The Other Side.
No matter where,
Who you are, there´s no criteria
You know time is always passing by

One shiny light
Leads you through the darkness.
What is beyond
You will see.

Join us in the eternal sleep
Take our hand we will show you
The land of the free
Welcome to the Destiny´s End
Where your mind and your soul rest in peace.

8. Born By Metal

[M: Iván V., Mikel / L: Iván V.]

Right, It has begun.
I can feel there's magic in the air.
Heavy Metal is here.
It's in you... It's in me.
Noise and show, fire and lights
We want it loud and we want it high.
Soul of Metal anew.
It's in me... It's in you.

Never!
Never debase what we have.
Never!
Never forget what we are
Heavy Metal!

By Metal I was born,
For Metal I will die.
Heavy Metal music is my life.
By Metal I was born,
For Metal I will die.
Nothing else but Metal in my mind.

Now I see there's Metal in the air.
Let me feel it...
Let me hear your scream...

By Metal I was born,
In Metal I will die.
Heavy metal music is my life.
By Metal I was born,
In Metal I will die.
Nothing but Metal tonight!

9. The Oak

[M/L: Jevo]

There´s a place in the wood
Where The Oak has been there through the ages
On its bark magic runes
Written by the old wizards and witches

It´s midnight and darkness surrounds us
Thick mist is here
Wolves howl at the moon, hear them crying
Bewitchment starts

The oak will show its secret
Will-o-the-wisps will light our way
Head for the path to glory
To a place where dreams come true
Witchcraft and incantation
Don´t break the spell, the charm goes on
Beyond the realms of reality
Tonight we´ll cross the gates of space and time

So dark is the night
Imps, goblins and fauns dance together
Hear the wind, don't take fright
Take this potion and you´ll live forever my friend

Bats, mushrooms and toads in a couldron
And you will fly
Black magic to invoke ancient spirits
They never died

10. Hymn Of Victory

[M/L: Jevo]

From the guts of Metal we were born
Steel and Fire in our hearts
Proud we stand against the wind and storm
No one can stop our rage.

I see the armies of Metalians
Wielding their hammers in the air
The clash will make Earth tremble
You will hear the screams
Of Victory!

Raise high your fist
All together in a voice
United we stand, not alone
With Power and Might
We will show the World
That Heavy Metal´s here to remain.

When we march, we never step backwards
There's only Triumph or Death
Gods of War are always on our side
And Metal keep us alive

Never give in, never surrender
Our Unity and Hate make us strong
We are less in number
But they´ll never beat us down
The flame still burns!

11. Humans

[M/L: Jevo]

I came from the stars on a mission to find
A place for a colony somewhere to live
But the influence of humans
Wasted all hopes for my race.

Carbon dioxide is blackening your lungs
Chemical warfares, pollution we breathe
There's a leak in a nuclear station
That no one controls.

Humans - Wasting the Earth
Destroyers - Heading for Death

Time has come for this fading planet
Straight to darkness
This is the beginning of the End.
I must go back where I belong to
Far from here and
Leave this pigsty world that you call Earth.

Black tides on the oceans, all sealife is dead.
Decreasing the ozone, the greenhouse effect
Warms the crust of the Earth
Drying rivers and melting the poles.

Look at the menu you taste everyday
Uranium-full salad, pork chops with aphta,
Crazy roast beef on the grill
And fresh three-eyed fish.

Humans - Wasting the Earth
Destroyers - Heading for Death

All I see now is a cancer in this world
Your fate is sorrow and doom.
No turning back, my predictions will fulfil
There`s nothing that we can do.

Centuries ago, many centuries before your birthday
I found a planet with perfect conditions of life.
But everything was spoilt by a plague of humans
Now that my mission is done, I want to go home.
