1. A Symphony of Steele Magick speaks with tongues of Fire, Fortune take my hand Iron pounding dongs of Glory, Soaring on command Screaming I rejoin the fray Take me where the thunder walks, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE Take my where the falcon flies, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE Sound the trumpet, crack the mountain, let the arrow fly Through the land of Lamentation, let the tidings fly Mercury, the God and I * Take me where the thunder walks, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE Take me where the falcon flies, A SYMPHONY OF STEELE Spark the ashes, free the temple, stem the crimson tide Toll the bells of Freedom souting Praise for those who've died Wield the Sword of Destiny [*] A SYMPHONY OF STEELE If passion denies you, don't die on your knees Fight with a vengeance what weakness decrees The Wrath of the Tempest, the cries of the slain Tragic in splendor, in death you are free I follow the Sign, bring on the sound of thunder, bring on the rain Spirit of Dark Enchantment remember my name!!! [*] A SYMPHONY OF STEELE [*] x 2 A SYMPHONY OF STEELE A SYMPHONY OF STEELE 2. Crown of Glory Bury me beside the endless sea, raise ashes to the wind Remember things I conquered in my time, quench my funeral pyre with wine Open your eyes and see me, running faster, running far Open your heart and feel me, catch the light beyond the stars Flesh and blood affirm the freedoms gain, Are we born to live again? I'll never die while the light races over my head, I can see where we are I will defy no respite from the challenge of war, Crown of Glory Unscarred Gaze at the sun unblinking, go where only eagles dare Strike now while life is in you, before the darkness eats your soul Touch me now and feel your strength return, speak the word within the word I'll never die while the light races over my head, I cansee where we are Why must you cry for the life you are leaving behind, Crown of Glory Unscarred What was forbidden now is open, the Golden Apples of the Sun All that's alive consider Holy, Holy, Holy, Body and Soul are reconciled And Heaven and Hell remember their love, and every road leads me to you To Truth I'm watching you now, I'm watching the signs, I watch as the old false reason dies, I see with new sight the infinite night, drunk on the Wine of Paradise I challenge the Nine in Heaven divine, the Crown and the Glory all are mine No longer denied with Eve as my bride the doors to the Kingdom open wide And every End is a Biginning, Victory waits within the fire. I'll never die while the light races over my head, I can see where we are I will defy no respite from the Phantoms of War Crown of Glory Unscarred Bury me beside the endless sea, raise my ashes to the wind ... 3. From Chaos to Creation (Instrumental) 4. Twilight of The Gods The mark of war is upon me the taste of blood's on my tongue I'm the ruler of nations, I am second to none Like a rainbow on fire, my axe gleams in the sun Blinding my enenies when the battles begun They'll see us fly on wings of glory, for the twilight hour's come Here we ride on wings of fire, staring straight into the sun The dark host marches eternal it's the last Great War Spreading scenes of destruction unequaled before Threre will be no winner, all are destined to die And from the ashes a new world a vision of Light Wath us fly on wings of glory, for the twilight hour's come Here we ride on wings of fire, for the judgement of the Gods A circle of fire Loki sings A chorus of lies, the crownless King Who rides on the wind, who rides on the sky? Be gone A circle of fire loud we sing The Warhammer rides, the crownless King Who writes on the wind the whisper of Life Watch us fly on wings of glory, for the twilight hour's come Here we ride on wings of fire, for the judgement of the Gods 5. Rising Unchaned Piercing the veil of Eternity, lashed by the winds of Hades Titan fists and Gods collide From the caves of ice the Midgard Serpent roars As the stars fall from the sky War kills we die, with golden tears Odin falls You're the deliverer-King Unchained You're the deliverer-King Unchained With a twilight kiss upon your frozen brow Golden Dawn when you awake You're the first and last whose coming was foretold Crown of Glory, worlds unfold Come forth arise, twelve Golden Dreams forge the prize You're the deliverer-King Unchained You're the deliverer-He Who Reigns Meeting on the Twilight Bridge, the Giants of Jotenheim align "against the Hosts of Heaven. The sun turns black and falls, lightning cracks Bifrost the Rainbow Bridge of three hues, while time comes to an end. The wolf Fenrir breaks his chain, Yggdrasil, is laid waste and the Universe comes crashing down. But after defeat, One will come beyond the reach of all Evil, greater even than Odin, to create a new Heaven and Earth set in a Golden Age forevermore." Don't cry for mercy for you know there will be none There in your darkness, you've been blinded by the sun And you'll see me tread the air, crown of fire upon my hair, you will die Come forth arise, your time has come, forge the prize Don't cry for mercy `cause you know there will be none There in your darkness, you've been blinded by the sun Crowned in blood I tread the air, worlds are formed within my stare See them RISE !!! You're the deliverer-King Unchained You're the deliverer-King Unchained You're the deliverer-He Who Reigns !!! 6. Transfiguration Rain falls, a lost voice calls, the day dies alone Red blood slowly dripped down, stopped, sighed, fell to the fround Mixed with earth and became mud black blood Rain from Heaven fills the seas of Hell Cold rain runs from the sky Blood is the secret, the bond between lives Cold reign drowning the world, till the word was made flesh Lips red, to alter led, with heart light, eyes bright Now heart dead, eyes closed to bier led, lips white Mixed with earth and became mud black blood Rest in darkness, till we rise again Cold rain runs from the sky Death is a secret a fate between lives Cold reign, timeless it falls, till the world is made whole fallin' fallin' over me drowning in the cold rain 7. Prometheus The Fallen One I have dwelt in Heavens shining realms of bliss I have walked the Halls of light Once I lived in honor with the Deathless Gods, Keeper of a secret sight Now I suffer the Wrath, I suffer the Pain for befriending Man Proud Rebel Thief, Stealer of Fire, I never kneel I have chosen, I bleed for Mankind Watch me die, I am the God in Man I defied the Father, on his throne of gold Now I'm captured here in chains And he sends his eagle down to feast again On the banquet of my flesh Zeus, Rain down your plagues, your unnatural love, your unnatural hate Blind may I be but eyeless I see what you'll never know I am golden, my force flies unseen Blood and pride, I am the God in Man Ten thousand years or more torment and pain Chained to this lonely crag, the champion of slaves And you come bearing gifts to me Silent as the grave, I receive thee And what's the Lie there in your eyes no mercy ... And the day dawns in Agony, in silence I wait for my time I will never, ever yield to you, you have no power over me ... Release me oh release me A river of ice a mountain of fire, I'll not reveal the one Impaled in the sky forever despised, I'll not reveal the one Immortal I die Immortal I die, I'll not give up on Man Your son will survive to vanquish your tribe, I RISE!!! I am Golden, my blood heals your wounds Watch me die, Ifear no Gods Wrath Cursed and tried, I am the MAN in GOD 8. EMALAITH This is the land of my beginning, these are the mountains of my birth Dark with the blood of desecration, oh where is she who is my pride EMELAITH I hear the Weeping of the Spirits, dark wings of hated fill the world I know she's waiting out there somewhere, beyond the shadows of my eyes EMALAITH Is there a Life Among these Ruins, the charred remains of all my kind Stung by the Sword of Retribution, I swear an oath where they have died I will return to wreak my Vengeance, let Heaven grant what love does seek Alive without a breath, reach for the Thorns ofDeath, a shadow falls Before my eyes EMALAITH dies alone in the night, lost like a child she leaves me Scars on the wind to hold me inside, tomorrow belongs to never I'll tear the walls of Erebus down. Child of the Desolation, cry to me under stars that have died, Under skies of Pain we are born. Ooh yeah, we are one, forever we'll be Oh my love, we'll defy Death and meet on Holy Ground. After the darkest treason I, I will arise again !!! EMALAITH dies alone in the night, a kiss on the wind she leaves me Out in the fields where everything dies, will we be lost forever? From death and darkness love was born, and love survived and created Light. Behold the Kingdom of the Fearless, who holds the Seven Points ofNight? Where is the hope of absolution, beyond the shadow of my sight? I hear the Weeping of the Spirits, dark wings of hatred rule the world But I will rise again, pierced by the Thorns of Death, beyond the shadow of their eyes. EMALAITH'S mine, asoul infinite, the promise of peace is never The Secret of Death if ours to possess, ours will endure forever I see the answer burn in your eyes, across the wasteland, Death into Life The mighty Spirits crystalize, TheCrown of Glory, onward we ride !!! Beyond the shadows of the skies, waiting for the light, It's over all is gone, Shadows of Mourning ... 9. STRAWGIRL Eyes blindly starting skyward, gaze fixed on Eternity What's that mark upon your shoulder, what's that scar on your arm? Did you come to see Jesus, do you walk with God? Do you rest suspended, or tread the Underworld? I will speak, for you can't, I will tell your story well I'll reveal your yesterdays STRAWGIRL lost in the Savage Garden, Waiting somewhere for someone to call STRAWGIRL is there a lover who's searching, crying, no one to notice you're gone ... Cold stone supportws your Beauty, night falls anonymous Shattered light defies the distance, illuminates your loneliness Did you bear children, do they miss their ma? Did the blind mask of forgiveness show a truer face by far? I will speak, for you can't, I will tell your story well I'll reveal your yesterdays STRAWGIRL lost in the Savage Garden, Waiting somewhere for someone to call STRAWGIRL is there a lover who's searching, crying somewhere or is it just me ... 10.
