The fierce, the black, and the wicked are their names We ride down my enemies on their half-hearted flight. No voice of mercy-no evangels of light. Mighty messengers - heathens rage Witness our coming - gods of the dead. I ride through the air - I laugh as I die With powers of evil dark knowledge is mine. We ride down the evil - the 1st sin was trust. Kill without warning-for blood now I lust Chorus: Strong winds - magic mist To Asgard the Valkries fly High overhead they carry the dead Where blood of my enemy lies Three sons have I, and they ride by my side. The fierce, the black, and the wicked are their names We ride down my enemies on their half-hearted flight. No voice of mercy-no evangels of light. Chorus (3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) Each Dawn I Die (DeMaio, Ross The Boss) 4:19 Passing through the storm - led by Demons Walk between the world of men and gods Cast no shadows - draw no light I rape the priestess on pagans night I taste the serpents poison On the lips of the one I love She brings this gift of witchcraft I wear the cat-skin gloves Apples of youth when I wrought mischief Hung in a tree to rot in the sun Reborn in the middle of the final orgy The gift of slavery to the chosen one. Suicide Suicide don't you know me Call to the Master - he will come He will bring out resurrection Cloaked in darkness - he has won Smoke of my sacrifice. Journey to the Isle of the blessed Grant my soul your glory At night time I am your guest Only I know why - Each dawn I die Smoke of my sacrifice Journey to the Isle of the blessed Grant my soul your glory At night time I am your guest Only I know why - Each dawn I die ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Kill With Power (DeMaio) 3:56 Hear what's written on the wind We come to kill and kill again Our arrows fall like hail - trample on the dead Ride through the gate of clouds - stand on the open step Run berserk - spreading fear and pain Black shield and weapons, black our chain None can harm us-not their fire, iron or steel For we have the will to power-with power we will kill Kill with power - die die Kill with power - die die die Kill with power - die die die die To the war god Odin you will pray And the curse of weapons shell remain. On the blood of all our fathers-on their weapons we now swear To avenge-not lament. Give the False ones death. Kill with power - die die Kill with power - die die die ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Hail to England (DeMaio) 4:22 Raise sails head for the open sea With sails full of wind - our hearts overflow with belief The quest for the grail To England we sail, with our steel We bring what was lost If lives are the cost, let it be Strong she stands - reaching her hand Brave and grand. On English ground we were born Proudly we return to English shore Chorus: Hail, Hail to England - Hail, Hail, Hail Chorus We march from the hills Down to London Town Join, raise your hand - or hide When we ride for the crown The sign of the hammer and The black winds blow through the night Long was out wait Our meetings with Fate is tonight. Strong she stands-reaching her hand Brave and grand On English ground we were born Proudly we return to English shore Chorus (2) Standing tall - one and all - light the hall Years have passed-I've dreamed of this day As we raise our hands-we proudly say Chorus (2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Army Of Immortals (DeMaio, Ross The Boss) 4:20 Battle hymns did sound the call, you came to our side You heard true metal - into glory ride You stood beside us the false ones cried Your love is judgment, you gave us life You wait in the rain - you walk through the snow We give you our blood, we want you to know Chorus: In our eyes you're immortal - In our hearts you'll live forever - In our eyes you're immortal - In our hearts you'll live forever We have read your letters, we have heard your call We were brought together, cause we've got the balls To play the loudest metal, so hard and wild and mean You'll live forever we were born from your believes Metal makes us strong, together we belong Forever here's your song, we want you to know Chorus Metal makes us strong, together we belong Forever here's your song, we want you to know Chorus Metal makes us strong, makes us strong Metal makes us strong, makes us stronger Stronger (14) Metal makes us strong ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Black Arrows (DeMaio) 3:05 (Spoken): We are black arrows of death Search straight to the hearts of those who play false metal Insturmental ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Bridge of Death (DeMaio) 9:05 Slowly crossing as the river runs below Never stopping for what's waiting soon will show And this last time looking back I'll see my home For he awaits me reaching for my soul He calls my name, and waves me on The fallen one he stands in flame Well the life that he has given full of riches and success Has a price that I made good in blood to pay. And the light he now is showing to guide my every footstep Is insurance if I falter on my way. And what God has now forsaken and man has never seen Are the riches of the underworld below All my years of earthly pleasures gave support unto the brige I now cross it giving him my soul Dark Lord, I summon thee Demanding the sacred right to burn in hell Ride up on hell's hot wind Face one more evil than thou, take my lustful soul Drink my blood as I drink yours Impale me on the horns of death Cut off my head release all my evil Lucifer is king Praise Satan I know the one who waits satan is his name Across the bridge of death there he stands in flame I know the one who waits satan is his name Across the bridge of death there he stands in flame He is my provider as I walk into the void For eternity I give to him my soul I shall do his bidding obey him without question Even walk among the living if I'm told Satan don't forsake me I wait for you to take me Grant me wings and as your messenger I'll fly ------------------------------------------------------------------------
