The Path of the Dark King

Europa, beautiful child ever dreaming Daughter without sin, land of the wise War has long gone and together as one we grew Until the prophet of death came to rise All that we fought for, justice and liberty Crushed in the sand of the land of one faith The land of the free now a battle zone has become Can we withstand the force of Islam’s wraiths An army invisible, death undetectable Where he will strike next we cannot know Could we foresee that the prophets we welcomed Our deaths would deliver straight into our homes The land we used to know, peaceful and civilised Perished in gunfire, it is no more Words of the wise from an age long behind us Futile and dead in this new kind of war Masters of evil will force their peace upon us And behead all that won’t accept the law Murdering innocents in their own backyards While we are busy ignoring it all Imagine a war will begin and nobody Will follow and fight for those in command A clear reply given on any of these days War’ll just as easily come to your land This is no longer the land that I used to know Once a safe haven – now a battleground How long until the laughter has died And deathlike silence the only sound New dawn rising for our eyes to see New dark ages our destiny Chained and shackled in stupidity Changes we’ll bear up – Combat Zone Europe Children of the inquisition Born again, just more efficient Nazis hating with a passion Green not brown is now in fashion Slayers from the one true nation Proud of our capitulation P’litically correct defenders At least we’re free to surrender Keyboard warriors with a passion Words of war their sole obsession Eyes unseeing, tears will fall Ears unhearing, deaf to all Say no more what’s on your mind Time for judgement to unwind The lands of our forefathers drenched in our own blood Europa bleeding from a thousand wounds Walls of the fortress lie broken in ruins This once proud castle has become our tomb When books will burn to make way for the one book And camps of death welcome the unprepared What will you answer when your children ask you We never knew or we never cared

As night is falling the demons awake Thunder is breaking the silence Voices are calling the names of the gods Out in the lowlands and highlands Come into the holy halls, the fires are burning bright Raise the horns for steel tonight All over the fields and forests Guardians of fire are assembling From the mountains to the ocean Swords in their hands never trembling Out in every nation wherever it may be Out in every nation sing the words of unity One strong voice around the world Heavy Metal a uniting force One strong voice, we will be heard Heavy Metal all around the world By the magic of thunder, fire and rage We always will be united Born of the cauldron forged of stainless steel The legions won’t be divided Listen and in every land you’ll hear the battle cry On the wings of liberty we cannot be denied Screaming attack we will claim every land Break all the chains and against the world stand The Kingdom of Metal will welcome you, come raise your hand

Fire in eyes, fire in heart Born while the storms raged above Dragonstone A refugee child, on the run from the start Heir to the seat of kings, the Iron Throne All dragonspawn must be put to the sword No one must live Hidden from the usurper’s wrath Far from his hands across the narrow sea Through seas of grass she must find her path Dothraki warriors her guardians will be Her brother wears a crown of molten gold Rebirth in fire horselords will behold The funeral pyre never burned her skin Three dragons born in the flames Khaleesi warlord, the first there’s ever been Nothing but ashes remains Rise Targaryen fire Silver flames that light the sky The blood of the dragon Seven kingdoms fall The fire and the blood Three fires to light, three mounts to ride Betrayed for blood and for love and for gold Unsullied legions born for the fight Dragonfire burning the cities of old The lords of Slaver’s Bay must taste the sword And pay the price Gathering forces to cross the sea She’ll bring salvation to all, it is known Lands of the west retaken will be The mother of dragons will reclaim her throne Westeros waiting for the Silver Queen Coming with dragons black and white and green Earth knows her name, stars will tell the tale How in the fighting pit she tamed the beast On dragon’s wings, black as night his scales Targaryen fire released For madness and greatness the gods will toss a coin The Dance of the Dragons is waiting, who will join

Still is the air, quiet the April night Over the sea the black battalions ride Their target is in sight, the coast is near The spring of youth, a deadly time of the year Only the bravest gathered for attack Sent out to kill, there’s no turning back An eye for an eye, thus spoke their lord Deep in the city lies the dragon’s hoard In the silence of the night they infiltrate Those who lived in blood must meet their fate The wrath of god tonight has come to town The sword of Gideon will strike them down No wall is too high, no house shall be safe Turning the city into a grave Sins will be punished, blood must be sold Revenge is a dish that’s always best served cold Blood thirsty devils in angels’ disguise Crossing the city, no fear in their eyes Taking the battle to the lion’s den Demanding the blood price for their countrymen Enter the houses, no one in sight Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide Plant the explosives and wait for the call Death conquers all As the doors shatter in thunder and light It’s killing time, head into the fight Guns spitting fire, blood must be shed Alive or dead Through the night we’ve come, children of the sun To the gates of Babylon Come kneel down and pray, you must die today By the sword of Gideon No prisoners taken, no time to lose The city’s awakened, they have to choose Facing resistance, talk of the guns Who’ll think of heaven when blood must run Head to the shore, they make their escape Leaving behind the city in flames Revenge has been done, the enemy slain Collateral damage along the way Over the sea in darkness they ride Leaving the bloodshed of vengeance behind The battle’s been fought, oaths are fulfilled More will be killed Proved to the world that wherever they’ll be Ready to slay their land’s enemy Who will remember the ones who died Lost to the fight

I am walking down the avenue of life See the shadows dancing in the night with you You were the key of my soul a long time ago The dying essence as you decided to go Screaming darkness the ruler of my mind What was wrong with me and why did I let you fly The verge of insanity is my new home What was written on the wall of life Silent pain is running through my veins The poison that makes my soul fade away The sand of time, I am not on his list The black desert that let my die of thirst Am I only flying in dreams of my being Rainbows of a life without fear Wings of hell, morning star’s desire Yes I pay the price of betrayal Yes I know I am the fallen one To get home I try a million different ways But none of them brings me back again I lost my wings, my life and my soul I’m a son who will never come back home My fate is strong like all the stars above A stranger that built his kingdom all alone Now I’m riding to the battlefield of fate Where I meet my holy brother again

Is this the end of natural life The beginning of the cruel and endless night Black fire and shadows from the pit Waves of blood drown the seed of existence Bend your knee to the conqueror of you all And we’ll spare the lives of your minions The wings of fate never bend the knee My sword will see you on the battlefield Millions of aeons we’d wait for this fight Ready to rule over suns and light Knights of heaven will fall this time You are – the cosmic pain We will – destroy the strain This time be sure – this is the end We are the light on this battlefield Maybe the light of the damned – we are the war We are the fire of eternity Eternal will be your death – we end this war Dear brothers, sing this song with me We’ll send them back to the black sea The chant of the stars, the glory of our lord I’ll strike them all down with my holy sword Sons of fire, sing this song with me Heaven is ours, tomorrow you will see Cut their wings and send them into the night Bring them fire, a devastating fight You arose as a result of my creation and you fell Arise and fall again – a creation of mine you are still You cannot exist without me Here is my offer to get it together, so you can be Seeing you go astray I survived in your dust Watched, built my plans while you decayed in rust The belief in you and your love will not last I am the new power and you´ll remain in the past We will bring your downfall Annihilate you all We will bring your downfall Eradicate you all

Black wings of destiny The morning star, the hell within I am my father’s darkest sin My brother was the lightbringer The beauty of heaven, the rising star Became the father of all sin The glory of the sun I am Argentum wings, wind of fate My brother you will pay again Throw you into the fire of the damned Please Michael the eldest one The sword of God, his favourite son Don’t let this fight begin My brother it is too late You go too far, your sins are great This time I am your final fate Can’t we just fly away Fly far, far away No we can’t fly away I would never betray the lord and his way Dear brother I’m ready to fight To conquer the day, to win by the night I’m sad that you’re fighting me I have to fight, I have to win My love for you is my darkest sin But evil has to end up here

In this silent hole, darkness all around My power from the past flies away My mind is empty, my soul is old The path of life is just stone cold I never see the truth till I’m falling down Why can’t they see what is supposed to be My domination, their reflection Walls of death are my new home Remember not where I was born The legacy I left is still untold I am the king of your souls The sun and the moon of you all The path of life that you walk You are the curse of our souls The serpent that crawls through our homes The hellfire that will cease to burn Out of the darkness, into the light We break your rules that enslave our lives Your reign will vanish and turn to dust Horrible madness that comes to its end We are your silent failure, your guilt and final pain The rope of hope, the saviour of our home You try to hide, you try to flee A trail of blood, your way to rule The legacy you left, a promise of your doom In the light the moon the gallows kiss you soon Your death will be our sanctuary Your tears of gold a silent prayer But no one will hear it today The king of nightmares, his last dance begins

“Es ist ein Land verloren, da wächst ein Mond im Ried Es ist mit uns erfroren, es glüht umher und sieht Es sieht, es sieht, wir sehen, ich sehe dich, du siehst Das Eis wird auferstehen, eh’ sich die Stunde schließt” (Paul Celan) The mountains lay silent awaiting the night The guardians of aeons with eternal sight They’d seen more than thousands of men ever will While ever remaining and watching so still They know many secrets so listen my friends Come hear how it started and know how it ends The guardians of silence may tell a strange tale How men broke their laws and so bitterly’d fail Picture the village in the mountains Where eagles fly and hunt their prey The men they worked the land, the women worked the homes Living their lives day after day No wealth they ever had but themselves Then hunger struck them unprepared Death came in silent night and knocked on houses old Nobody would help them or cared Up in the glade she lived so low Older than any one would ever know Wise ancient woman with hands that healed Hands that knew magic and their fate sealed And so the village knew salvation Salvation hand in hand with shame For any good on your path payment must be made So die alone or play the game A pact signed in blood be paid in blood They sent their children to the ice A frozen death awaits the four girls in the crystal lands The glacier’s home, paid is the price The old witch died burned at the tree “Wealth you may find but cursed you shall be Cursed is the mountain, the village forlorn I’ll get your children when they are reborn” Silver in the ice, a blessing or curse in disguise For riches they’ll pay with their lives, there’s no salvation Gone is poverty but lost are souls in misery And cursed the land eternally, lost in damnation Voices in the night, they sing a song in the moonlight The vision grips your heart with fright, four children marching Till found they will be when the glacier sets them free That’s when you’ll meet your destiny, doom from the mountainside Follow the path that so many before you have known Enter the chapel that stands abandoned and alone Step to the altar and read the names of those who died This house of god is a gateway to the other side Now is the time when for their sins they will pay the price Their children will leave again tonight as a sacrifice Come watch in awe as the rage of the mountain comes down Annihilation of all life, the valley must drown When greed comes to man’s heart all dreams will be sold And made unseen for bloodstained silver and gold So now as our story (as all tales) must end All sight fades away, just the mountains still stand
