WARLORD LYRICS

1. Battle Of The Living Dead

The morning has come with the dawn of the sun,
and the masses arise to the day.
They meet their despair in pointless travail,
lost in the eyes of the world where Death is the stage.

For Mammon they live, to themselves they will give,
of treasure and gluttonous pride.
To Self they bow down, they worship their crown,
alive in the eyes of the world, but Death lives inside.

Arise, my friends, arise!
The sword is the spirit of life,
Awaken your souls, that you may never die!
In the Battle of the Living Dead

2. Enemy Mind

Life, I know it so well
It's sorrow and tears and death
An abode of hell
My living hell . . .
Tomorrow I fear my breath
Will forever fail

Life, a moment in time
The years of a man they vanish
Into shades of night
The shades of night . . .
I fear my soul will be banished
To the realm of sighs

And who will descend to show me the light?
And who will remember me in my plight?

The sins of the soul will rise
The alien lie is in you
Forever you will fight
The Enemy Mind within you
Lie . . . in the fields where carrion dine

We are the Enemy Mind
We are thee, Enemy Mind
We are thee, Enemy . . . MIND!

3. Invaders

We descend from the belt of Orion
Our life-giving star has come to an end
Civilization is dying
We deem to survive, we search for a land
And we've explored the galaxies
There is just one place we can live and breathe
So we will overthrow the race of man
His way of woe and hate command

We are Invaders from afar, a dying star
Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .

We sail through the system Solaris
With thousands of ships in the speed of the light
Hail to our leader we cherish
Our weapons of war prepared for the fight
And we are far beyond his years
Man is just nothing but a beast, atomic spears
So we will make this earth our home, our sphere
This is our destiny so near

Through solemn war, our race it must survive
Yet with remorse, the race of man must die
Through laser forces, with humans we collide
There is no hope for mankind to survive.

We are Invaders from afar, a dying star
Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .
We are Invaders from afar, a dying star
Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .

4. Winds of Thor

It was a darkened day December,
I heard the hammer in the wind
It was a day we will remember,
For the Winds of Thor their story would begin.

For you are the rich man, and we are the poor
You have the power, but the force we have will blow forever more.
Winds of Thor, Winds of Thor . . .

Now you've come to our village,
And you've taken all that we have.
And your king sends his brigades,
To take our lives and lead us to our deaths.

For you are the mighty, and we are the low
You have the power, but the force we have will roar forever more.
Winds of Thor, Winds of Thor . . .

The warships of Odin have landed,
The thunders of Thor have sounded,
And now you will fall in the valley of tears . . .

We will invoke the mighty Winds of Thor
We will invoke the mighty Winds of Thor
We will invoke the mighty Winds of Thor
We will invoke the mighty Winds of Thor

5. War In Heaven

[based on John Milton's PARADISE LOST - 1667]

They rise from this fiery region,
On dragon-like wings, by thousands they've come to war.
And dark are the Seraphic Legions,
With armor and shield, they raise their flaming swords.
In the name of the Archangel Lucifer
The Legions hath come, to divide and to conquer
Thy kingdom, Thy power, Thy throne,
The Seraphic legions they goe . . .

The celestial armies of heaven,
Descend from the Sovereign's sky forth God's command.
And lo, Michael with sword in hand,
He leads the Lordian Guard to slay to damn.
In the name of the Almighty Father,
The angels hath come to cast out the Legions
Forever, to the infernal realm,
From heaven to hell . . .

On chariots of thunder and lightning,
On Lordian Steeds the angels smite their foe.
And the Seraph they fall to destruction,
As the hounds and the carrion of hell feast on their corpse.
Now lost is the Archangel Lucifer,
Who thought in his mind, he could rise to Empyrean dominion
'Til fate was his foe,
The will of God his woe . . .

6. My Name Is Man

My name is Man, from dust I stand,
A newborn song, a story.
Upon this land, Almighty hands,
Hath filled my eyes with glory.
The life I breathe, a Force unseen,
Reveals all that I am . . .
My Name is Man, My Name is Man, My name is Man . . .

Behold the crystal rivers feed the oceans
Celestial sphere of solar fire drinketh from the sea
And the fountains in the sky pour life on every seed.

Behold the womb of earth brings forth the mountains
The canyon walls so grand they stand, before the valley floor,
And the face of land and sea, they meet on seven shores

We are earth, we are heaven
We are flesh, we are blood
We inherit Thy kingdom
We are all, we are One . . .

We are earth, we are heaven
We are flesh, we are blood
We inherit Thy kingdom
We are all, we are One . . .

7. Lucifer's Hammer

It comes through the heavens, on a mission from hell
A force of destruction, that nothing can repel
A story is born that no one will live to tell

The obliteration of man, now encased in its shell
At the push of a button, we all will go to hell
Who will be left to toll the funeral bell . . .

The Hammer will Fall on you!
The Hammerwill Fall on you!

Devastation, destruction of all the nations
Annihilation, clouding of all the skies
Raise the dead from their graves, and throw in yourselves and hide

Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us . . .

8. Sons Of A Dream

We are the pen, we are the mind, we are keepers of the light,
We are the fools, we are the free, we are Sons of a Dream.

I dream about a season
I sleep inside a place where I am free - and wandering.
I roam the deepest canyons
I soar the highest skies that I might see - my fantasies.

I am the seed of a vision
I am the one who forsees
I pray the world will remember, some day the world will believe . . .

I live inside your reason
I breathe your thoughts, I speak what's not to be - reality.
I'm free, yet I'm in prison
I'm tame but cannot fly with broken wings - my fate will be.

I am the seed of a vision
I am the one who forsees
I pray the world will remember, some day the world will believe . . .

We are the pen, we are the mind, we are keepers of the light,
We are the fools, we are the free, we are Sons of a Dream.
We are the pen, we are the mind, we are keepers of the light,
We are the fools, we are the free, we are Sons of a Dream.

9. Achilles Revenge

[based on Homer's Iliad]

As time marches back to infinity
I behold in my eyes
That this land of serenity
Once was a furnace of fire.
At swords, were the gods of the heavens
For the plight of the city of Troy
And for years, did the warriors do battle
For the fight of the Helen of Troy

He was the mighty Achilles
He sought the glory of war
In the heat of fighting and killing
He bought the blood of his enemies, with his sword
He stole their breath, giving them the grave as their reward

He was the mighty Achilles
He slaughtered legions at war
With the speed of lightning and zeal
He carved his name, forever into books of lore
An immortal legend - helmet, shield, and sword

Commend the dead who fought and bled upon the fields
And bury them with honors, swords and shields
Remember them they could not fend in the end
In the face of Achilles' anger, his revenge.

Hail to the one! To the king of the dead in Acheron
In his shadow we fade, we are lost in his name.
Hail to the one! To the king of the dead in Acheron
In his shadow we fade, we are lost in his name.
Hail to the one!
