Silence enrobes the land as The gargoyle spreads his wings To rule over centuries Of many a wicked things The wrath of ages in his eyes As he sets into the night The moon's eclipse obscures him Now as he end his silent flight... You fall...a victim of his spell To the witchery of fright As the gargoyle's eyes ablaze Like the fire in your heart The anthem of the damned Entombed in the sands of time Never to return A beast right out of hell ...A beast right out of hell Dark forms surround the shroud Where a watchful eye awaits The rebirth of the moon The tide of endless gloom Upon a silent hill that night A sorcerer cast's his spell To reawake the dormant gargoyle To serve him till the end...

The midnight sun above the ruins Darkness drapes the land A peaceful scene in the dark of night The carnival of souls Far away lands of kings and queens In peril they now are A messenger send to seek the brave To free the land enslaved A violent creature in the mountain dwells And preys of the child of man The eaters of the dead they are A dread from ancient times Fear the dark and the mist it brings From the hillsides roars are heard A battle rages to slay the beast A fight to free the land On nightfall of the 7th day Battle cries were heard Broken bodies the price they pay For a battle fought and won A broken beast lies conquered now As a land is freed it last A tyrants rule now torn apart As the grendel's body breaks

Laughter in the castle halls has faded dead away The rooms around lie empty now as winter brings dismay Deep within the castle walls a spirit wanders free The undead soul of centuries past, kept from heavens door Around the towers of this castle darkness drapes the land A fog now draws upon the hills engulfs the hillside grand The undead faces in the silent halls A gloomy picture painted on the walls Of demons and darkness we are told a tale An ancient story everyone, everyone must hail... The road to the castle is paved in blood tonight The life force of the innocent, victims of the fight I feel the presence all around us now As voices whisper silently, whisper to the clouds

I float away now gently from this world From my body I'm expelled, as I enter far beyond I exit life and enter death and see the eerie light It calls too me so softly and bids me to come in Thousands miles above the ground...I am as light as air I cannot hear yet I'm not deaf, I see yet I feel blind As I float above the world I hear the creatures voice A soft and mellow lullaby cradles me to death The earth realm seems so far away as night begins to fall Ascending now to eternity to join the stars way above the ground Stand here now before the throne, stand now to be judged As a wicked soul with eyes of fire rises to be heard A circle of demons winged and grim stand to guard the hall The lick of eternal fire seers your flesh to bones A scream of anguish breaks the silence, the silence in the sky As a black clouds brews a thunderstorm that tremors all around One by one the demons fly, fly to seek they prey The legions of pandemonium, the soldiers of the gray

Born of high and mighty lands of lore A legion of riders from an ancient time The rage of battle in their darkened eyes Together they will into glory ride High above among the restless clouds A raven sings its song into the night Lightning shines a beacon far ahead Announcing now the coming of the end Valleys now tremble To the war cries miles away In the glens the water freezes As a cold hand brings dismay A dark stone rises far into The clouds way up high And greeted by a thunderstorm We chant a battle cry Honor is enthroned Again is the one eternal heir With fearless might our legions Rule our enemy ensnared The sound of thunder rumbles In palace of the gods The chariots of fire leave A trail of death and blood From ancient times they have returned To judge the hearts man To slay the weak and praise The strong to hold Up high their flame

A symbol appears before Us...high above the clouds To gaze upon in mortal one Would mean the end of doubt All the men out here today Will fall at our hand The chosen few Defenders and protectors Of the land A book of secrets lies within For all of us to read To swear the oath And hail the sign never Break the creed Countless men have gathered here The keepers of the faith Immortal and untiring With one voice they exclaim: "Hear us, praise us, take us, To our land far away..."

Dragon's fire burns the sky As the heavens are ablaze By a wizard's spell and sorcery His eyes inflamed as he turns into a star The prophet's wisdom told in tales A legend comes to life A gust of wind on the mountain blows As the signs appear above

Fading in moonlight The darkness of night Across someone's dream Of cruelty and fright The nomads of somberlain Stalking ignite The fire that burns In disdain and delight A weary man's head Now lays down to rest Directly amidst A serpent's cold nest A dark robe of velvet Weaved of despair The gown of the weak For the weak once to wear The day to rest it Now finally goes The enemies of order The holy one's foes Aligning the planets Constellations appear To announce the arrival The chosen one's here... Basra, in darkness The jewel of the night My somberlain beauty there's No need to fight The veil of deceit around You it flows My dagger is drawn Now pay what you owe From far and wide disciples draw night To praise the birth the coming, the rise Now that the prophecy Has finally come true The witches of earth Realm brew a strange brew To poison the lands And blacken the soil For the growth Of disaster to bring Chaos and told

The rain is clearing Over my father's land A cloud in the distance fades away Over hilltops a gust Of wind now sharply blows Bringing the mist down Low unto the sea Thousands of feet way up Above the land An eagle dares And spreads her wings A kingdom of silence Where only you may go Across the wide open seas And ports of call... Haste not now As the night will fall Bring us a tale from your Homeland far away... Gather here at the fire pit To share the glory of old Visit the places that dreams errect The lands that are found Very far from here See the ruins as they drape The horizons Kissing the sky farewell The robe of dusk now engulfs The world again A river mutters its lullaby So silently A gust of wind carries The song away To weary heroes who follow the serenades...back home

At last we meet for the final stand On the hillside of your fathers land The sound of steel, the call of doom Hail the rainstorm, hail the gloom We march, we fight, we die, we rule!!! Now here we stand Where the sky forever fades Praise our names Cause our glory now lives on... Free now at last Like a bird we rule the sky Wave to the stars as they greet The newborn king Crossing swords for a final time The rage of battles call Under raven skies at night The chilling sons of wolves The tune of doom we know so well The somber chant from the pits of hell... Marching forward, never retreat We know the end is nigh... Now here we stand Where the sky forever fades Praise our names Cause our glory now lives on... Free now at last Like a bird we rule the sky Wave to the stars as they greet The newborn king Crowned by the night To rule the silent realm High on his throne he bears The jewels of man...lonely till the end
Serenades, composed by the dead to hail the end From the graveyards comes an eerie sound Like an air from the shrouds below Fearful eyes, like the gaze of a child on a stormy night The silence is broken now...
