Out of the unworld rolls the train of troll and thurs<br/> We rig the black ship, proof the planks, set sail to Asgard's shores<br/> All winds shall carry along the lore about our course<br/> They're giants under arms and they bring war to sacred halls<br/> Again!<br/> <br/> Hordes roaring and pounding <br/> Attack the castle walls with no remorse<br/> Out of the deep<br/> Their horns still resounding <br/> As arrows paint the skies in darkness <br/> While lightning strikes beneath <br/> <br/> We're born from fire and built by ice<br/> We lead that wilder immortal life <br/> <br/> So throw your storms upon me as if they safe you<br/> From fighting another round<br/> We will hunt six nights through dust<br/> And conquering your town <br/> <br/> We're elemental forces slumbering beyond<br/> So don't disturb our sleep, for we are known for odd response<br/> Now as the days get faster, don't forget too soon<br/> And put the tale of troll and thurs into a rune, my friend <br/> <br/> By starlit night-fires<br/> Jump from board and clench your fist to devastate the land<br/> Join into our choirs that echo through the hills and valleys<br/> Nature might strike back <br/> <br/> March!<br/> <br/> So throw your storms upon me as if they safe you<br/> From fighting another round<br/> We will hunt six nights through dust<br/> And conquering your town

It was his last day in life The old man raised his head to the sky And called out the name of the father: God - when I die, I know it is your will But my last wish I pray to you to fulfil: I never possessed a garden, so give it to me And I will be your son again Thorns of ice (will never melt) On a stem of a rose And the icy blossom will - Will resist the winter-storms My dream had come true - the old man thought But god gave him a garden full of ice In despair the old man grew ?em with frozen blue But just one started to bloom A rose of ice with steel-blue thorns of frozen life With a snow-tear in his eye he stroke the plant But thorns of ice ripped his skin And his blood flew on the blossom It turned red - rose-red Thorns of ice (can make you bleed) For what (for your life's deed) Thorns of ice remember you All the time in life Thorns of ice stitching your skin Intoxicating all your blood Lower the eternal pulse... ...with his hands Full of freezing blood The old man raised his head the second time to the sky And asked again: Oh God, mighty God Look at my hands, full of frozen blood like a murderer! I never killed, I never slept, I never lived in sin But what for, you punish me - God, mighty God... Thorns Of Ice... So here is my answer, the voice sounded from the sky I want you to remember the time you lived your life Time spent, wasted on nothingness When you sow a second you'll never get an hour... So the old man asked himself: How much consideration I gave a rose in life?

One hundred wizards cast their spells – we walk on stage<br/> All lightning striking powered by the gathered mages<br/> One thousand trolls will raise their fists and move their clubs<br/> Destroying everything and devastate the pubs<br/> <br/> The air is burning, it gets dangerous up there<br/> Beware!<br/> While every demon born in hell will be unlocked<br/> We rock!<br/> <br/> [Chorus]<br/> We rock a dream without binding and blinding known front<br/> Then while asleep we could dream this great dream far beyond<br/> The end of the world <br/> Just one stop on a voyage we've done<br/> Set out on the storm<br/> For my friend, you know it has just begun <br/> <br/> Black shadows bouncing on the groaning gallery<br/> They're throwing trash upon the thrashing folks beneath<br/> They cheer out loud and interrupt their heavy rage<br/> While we move on and start to burn this fucking stage<br/> Those who misprize the love and anger we all share<br/> Beware!<br/> No one will ever bar the path on that we walk<br/> We rock!<br/> <br/> [Chorus]<br/> <br/> We scream for more and the berserkers screaming back<br/> We're at the pulse of night, we're pushing up the pack <br/> At last a thunder roars, an earthquake crushes the door<br/> Then murmur rises, something's happening on the floor<br/> Old dragon enters, makes some fun and burns some hair<br/> Beware!<br/> The day shall dawn and mister Death might watch the clock<br/> We rock!<br/> <br/> Amplified feelings – Metal-suggestion<br/> Enchanting, believing – Never to rest again<br/> We're on road to let them know this is Dragonrock!<br/> Amplified feelings – Metal-suggestion<br/> Enchanting, believing – Never to rest again<br/> We're on road to let them know we are Midwinter!

In the raven's shadows we march upon<br/> Once proud and heathen shores<br/> Axe and sword and shield at hand<br/> Tonight this ground will turn to red<br/> They came from far away across the ocean wide<br/> And talked to us in foreign tongues<br/> Of the pearly gates and the crucified one<br/> Of damnation and that we're gonna die: <br/> "My son, you better pray to our god<br/> Or your soul will forever burn in the fires of hell!" <br/> <br/> [Chorus]<br/> Warriors, come drink with me upon our final victory<br/> Raise your swords up high against divine hypocrisy<br/> We will never break the oath of our ancestors<br/> Warriors, come ride with me<br/> Let them know where steel is born<br/> <br/> With the serpent's tongue they promised us <br/> The golden hall here down on earth<br/> Those countless brave men who stood against them <br/> Were slaughtered in the name of their cross<br/> Odin!

Have travelled far throughout so little space among me<br/> And journeyed cross a restless sea<br/> They say the distances are nothing but a headache<br/> Had locked my brain and ate the keys <br/> <br/> As if they know what are the horrors that surround us<br/> They never face them, but I do<br/> As if they know at least of any of the riches<br/> Of the empire that I rule <br/> <br/> I have come to change all meaning<br/> I become a foe to all you, fools <br/> <br/> A throne, a prison – ah, just words for this dark cage<br/> All meaningless, my lord, a king in other spheres<br/> Amongst the billions unsuspecting and blasphemous<br/> Heaven-sent to reign with fear <br/> <br/> I have come to change all meaning<br/> Heaven-sent to reign with fear<br/> Amongst the billions unsuspecting and blasphemous<br/> I become a foe to all you, fools <br/> <br/> Blessed with wings of madness<br/> <br/> The visions come and go, the dreamlands disappear<br/> Merciless crown, oh, stab your thorns into my fear<br/> Serenely let me suffer martyrdom and pain<br/> With wings of madness – blessed within <br/> <br/> Oh, ghastly moments that I can't refrain from yet<br/> I felt betrayed and double-crossed<br/> When all hopes gone and all my love forever lost<br/> Oh god, I know you need me dead <br/> <br/> Oh father, pass this bitter grail over and help me<br/> l'm not the one to change all fate <br/> <br/> My son you are – be strong and patient<br/> Rule Messiah of the mad<br/> <br/> When a world turns to a dying place<br/> Nightmares in my hands<br/> And the earth's crawling down the walls I face<br/> Hold close, we're never frightened again<br/> When a world turns into oblivion<br/> Far, far from my hands<br/> Will you keep me from sanity or die again?

Deep are the wounds <br/> And deeper is the emptiness you left <br/> Silence can be painful like razors cutting my flesh<br/> I can still smell your perfume <br/> Which remembers me of withering autumn leaves <br/> Aaah, I feel your warm breath on my neck <br/> But I know, when I turn around<br/> There is only darkness <br/> Never again the mourning wind will caress your skin <br/> Never again the moonlight will be captured in your eyes <br/> And never again the cold rain will moisten your hair<br/> It shall now moisten the flowers<br/> I laid down at your feet, yesterday <br/> Why did you leave me without a very last word?<br/> Why did you leave me alone?<br/> Alone with my sorrow

Under the arc of a weather stain boards Ancient goblins, and warlords, Come out the ground, not making a sound, The smell of death is all around, And the night when the cold wind blows No one cares, nobody knows. I dont want to be buried in a pet sematary I dont want to live my life again, I dont want to be buried in a pet sematary I dont want to live my life again. Follow victor to the sacred place This aint a dream, I cant escape Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones, Spirits moaning among the tombstones, And the night, when the moon is bright, Someone cries, something aint right. I dont want to be buried in a pet sematary I dont want to live my life again, I dont want to be buried in a pet sematary I dont want to live my life again. The moon is full, the air is still, All of the sudden I feel a chain, Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away, Skeletons dance, I curse this day, And the night when the wolves cry out, Listen close and you can hear me shout. I dont want to be buried in a pet sematary I dont want to live my life again, I dont want to be buried in a pet sematary I dont want to live my life again, oh, no, oh, no I dont want to live my life again, oh, no, oh, oh I dont want to live my life again, oh, no, no, no I dont want to live my life again, oh, oh
