Against All Odds

Being silent before we learn to speak, Now the wolf roams free amongst the sheep. Unbroken and unbounded, raise the banner of nobility. Hearts pound as the drums of war, Our future, is yet unborn, Unchain and untamed, Our life is ours alone. Let your voice make mountains shake, Fight till you have nothing left, We stand as the damned, who long for something greater. With dignity and pride, we lay down our lives, They brought the sword, lets teach them how to use it. Rip the noose from our neck, defiance that will never break, Our fight will never fade, As long as one still stands here. In the footsteps of our falling kin, we will not know submission, Our fight will never fade, As long as one still stands here. We are the ones, with the world at our feet, Survival of the fiercest, and fierce are we. With heaven coursing through our veins, inside we hold the key. And not pass on our struggle so our children can be free. We chose to hold our ground and we won't back down, Come face us, we're Irish, now hear us, roar! Rip the noose from our neck, defiance that will never break, Our fight will never fade, As long as one still stands here. In the footsteps of our falling kin, we will not know submission, Our fight will never fade, As long as one still stands here.

Roar the horns of triumph, For they face a legion of Inconquerable souls, The will, to stand regardless, against whatever foe. With sword and shield raised to the night, As lightning forks stretch across the sky, We hold the power, And strength to make things right. My comrades, my brothers, my country men, On the eve of this battle, that we can't win. We stand and fight regardless, We fear no shadow nor flame. The strength and honour that drives us, The love of our culture that binds us. We are our kings and masters, We stand and fight through choice. We stand united, we stand out numbered. We'll stay unconquered, We stand Invictus. We have shown that we are strong, Cause we're still here, and holding on. Not to vengeance, not to greed, But to the soil beneath our feet. These mountains, rivers, lakes and shores, This dream is what we fight for. Their numbers will count for nothing. We fight as if those past are by our side. Behind the flame and death we can still see a glimmer of light, And that's enough to give us the strength to stand and fight. We stand united, we stand out numbered. We'll stay unconquered, We stand Invictus. As we plunge into darkness, I'll be by your side, And if your heart stops trying I would give you mine. And if you fall, I'll storm the gates of hell, Even in death, I'll keep fighting. Back to back, side by side, We will out last this night, Even through this, we shall see the sun rise. We will unleash such chaos, not even hell will want us, Till they lie breathless, we will never stop or falter till our end. We stand united, we stand out numbered. We'll stay unconquered, We stand Invictus. We stand united, we stand out numbered. We'll stay unconquered, We stand Invictus.

Incorruptible legion, Hell's unleashers. Spirits free, proud, and deathless. Hearts of iron, histories tyrants, We won't live forever but will die, trying No surrender, no retreat, We lay waste to cities, bring mountains to our feet. Commanders of chaos, wills of steel, Never surrender, weaken, or kneel. We assist death, Bearer of chaos. We assist death, Hammers of the ancient gods. We assist death, Hell's unleashers. We assist death, bonded through the ancient laws. We assist death, to death or glory, We assist death, masters of disorder, We assist death, Bringers of abyssic flame. We assist death, tyrants of war.

Greatness awaits us, Unleashed their darkest fears, With eyes as bright as hell, Deaths howling fills their ears. As once scattered ashes, We stand united for the innocet unborn. As bloody claws drips round them, in the shadow of the wolf. Our lives are forged on the shoulders of giants and arenas of tyrants, Take center stage my friend for the spotlight is upon us. We are cursed to die, but not without a fight, Let them know their place, in a ready made grave. We haven't faltered yet, and we won't till death, Accept your primal instinct, survival, advancement. Our senses heightened, never tire or rest, Outnumbered and out armored, lets put them to the test. We stand with generations past, We swim against the tide of time. Our culture, customs, folk and land, Our eternal stand for ancient pride. As once scattered ashes, We stand united for the innocent unborn. As bloody claws drip round them, in the shadow of the wolf. We stand proudly in forefathers footsteps, And we shall protect them while we still have strength left. And to corrupters who tamper with this faith, Will hear the howling of blackened beasts at their gates.

Bloody and far from home, The sky is heavy with snow, My time is slowly running low. My body, freezing cold, We're the last of a dying world, These are the last days of old. My time will end here shortly, The snow entombs me slowly, This battles lost, my body broken. The morning that we left, we held our loved ones close and cried, We know so many wouldn't make it back alive. We knew we stood no chance as we said our last goodbyes, We fought for you, and for you we'll die. We battled hard and long, But we couldn't tame this storm, My eyes are frozen, open. Their numbers were too great, We fell like autumn leaves, As the snow gathers, my bodies broken. Lying here in a mix of regret and pride, If I'd known of this faith, would I have still come here to fight? Thinking of all I was waiting for and all I've yet to say, I thought I had so much time, but it's been taken away. I hoped one day, we'd be old and grey, I hoped one day we could wake up and feel safe. Still I love you with all the love a heart can hold, But I couldn't be "this great warrior" when it was needed most. They will know that few stood against many, Even though our chances were hopeless. Just for the hope, That the beauty that we see, Doesn't go unnoticed. Our time with earthly feet has ended, Our fathers of old are calling us to the mighty halls, It's time to take our place, or let our ghosts haunt this place. To wait greeting our comrades who are yet to fall. I'm not saying we would have done better, but at least we could have called this our time, I'm not saying we would have done better, But we couldn't out last this night.

As I place the bloodied sword, once again by my side. I watch as the life leaves, my enemies eyes. His body falls limp, He gasps his last breath. He fought a good fight, he earned his soldiers death. My body now feels broken, defeated, weak and sore. And my fighting spirit, wishes for no more. But for the blood I have lost, both families and friends. There can be no forgiveness, there will be no end. I look across the battlefield, my brother's are dying for which they stand. To protect their families bloodline, To defend their fathers land. I've to question what we fight for, Is it worth the blood spilt. Then I picture my dead loved ones, Then the rage in me ceases to quit. My body may be broken, but my will is still my own. For you to defeat me, you will have to tear the flesh from my broken bones. For that what keeps me going, keeps the fire in my heart, The thoughts of losing loved ones, tearing my family apart. For each time I kill another, Someone's father, Someone's son. I look to the skies and question, what have I done? But when I finally perish, meet the one who takes my life. Leave this broken body, send my spirit to the sky.

Hello my love, I have returned, I have mended all those bridges burned. I'm sorry I had to break your heart, But against all odds, you are in my arms. I've beheaded every tyrant met, I've laughed into the face of death. Even when the gods looked the other way Against all odds, I found my way. Through plains of snow, through the blinding hail, I fought right through the fires of hell. Even when all hope had completely faded, Against all odds I somehow made it. My heart was heavy, my limbs felt weak, With out you here it hurt to breathe. But through all the things that I've been through, You were my cure for every wound. Leaving that morning broke my heart, Letting you go ripped me apart. We knew it was never gonna be easy, But at least for now, you're here with me. It was so hard to stay so strong, As childhood friends died in my arms. I felt trapped in this hurricane, Constantly pounded by tidal waves. Nothing will stand between us again, If I must I'll face the four horsemen. But through all the battles and the scars I've earned, Against all odds I have returned, to you. If I lost you I would give up where I stand, Stay with me now give me a fighting chance. I'll keep trying, or else these songs I sing will mean nothing, When I've done all I possibly can, I'll find the strength to do it all again. With aching limbs, and bloody fists, I'll stand up and fight right back. With a roaring heart inside my chest, there is still some fighting Irish left. And with everything that was in our way, where so many better men have failed. In our clear voice I'll proudly say, bring your worst, I am not afraid!
