Iron Will 04:56
Storm slams will of innocents. Lost hope. Doom is imminent. Try to be the savior. And redeem your sins. Cold blood chills your flaming heart. Your goal. Life is not enough. Dive in, scream with agony. Raise your sword and kill. Now you can't stop me I'm going, take care! — Chorus: The brightest of your desperate dreams. Are trying to become reality. Don't lose this chance, just keep the line. Live in hope, bring them eternal shine. Treasure - bones of enemies. Your way. Bloody remedies. Hatred burns your soul inside. The eternal scorn. Some will, live and some will die. Always the same sacrifice. Your soul now is not astray. And your life is a worthy pay. Now you can't stop me I'm going, take care! — Chorus: The brightest of your desperate dreams Are trying to become reality Don't lose this chance, just keep the line Live in hope, bring them eternal shine.

In the woods of despair Down the northern route Swirls of smoke and white ash Hides the hut from your eyes Home of hungry spirits And no one can escape from the cave of the witch. Her eyes are blazing Fire in Her hands Shines bright then fading One moment and you're dead. Bit of blood, bit of your tears Come to me and leave your fears Sit in silence, feel the heat. "By the way, you are my meat" - she said. Look around and you'll see Only fear is your friend And your mind is depressed Slaves of darkness and beasts Help her to intice you Deadly trap waiting for in the Cave of the witch Her eyes are blazing Fire in Her hands Shines bright then fading One moment and you're dead. Bit of blood, bit of your tears Come to me and leave your fears Sit in silence, feel the heat. "By the way, you are my meat" - she said. A Bit of blood, bit of your tears Come to me and leave your fears Sit in silence, feel the heat. "By the way, you are my meat" - she said. In the woods of despair Down the northern route Hit of witch disappeared Run Get lost Don't look back Flee far away Leave these lands But remember, now you're the game!

Here comes the end of the age The great Tale of life's last pages Devoured by the merciless time And murals are crumbled to grime Songs of the past in the skies They tell the truth, Of glorious days The time when great golden spires Shined in the Red Light of fires When names of great heroes Like thunder, shout in the dark murky sky Immortal hero, that's your way of the faith Battles of honor will be lost in the past Never forget it's the Day of your pain Don't fall to your knees And you'll see your enemies blood Cries of ancient horns spread Throughout the enchanted lands The bastion of freedom is torn By legions in darkness we're born Cries of past in the skies They tell the truth, Of glorious days The raven's eye sees battle fires And those who cry, and those who die. Immortal hero, that's your way of the faith Battles of honor will be lost in the past Never forget it's the Day of your pain Don't fall to your knees And you'll see your enemies blood And a gonfalon of fame will shine again, Will shine again.

In a windstorm, amid snow A child was born many ages ago, He swore to wage his war! Blood and war, snow turns red. All you've got lost with sword slash. Chopped off heads Vengeance leads you, wooooaaaah!! Distant lands Wait for him, Chains of slavery Will not hold his dream! Will to fight, Coldest mind - All will know your name, Now is the time to say go! Ancient kingdoms, fear and death. Fight until your last breath, Each day You will hunt your prey. Cult of ancient evil Lingers in these barren lands The dreams of damnation Will be broken by your hands Distant lands Wait for him, Chains of slavery Will not hold his dream! Will to fight, Coldest mind - All will know your name, Now is the time to say.... Distant lands Wait for him. Soon you too, will know The Riddle of Steel! Vengeance calls In dark halls. Face eternal foe, Win this ancient war Destroy the dark lord you so much abhor And win this ancient...win this ancient...win this ancient WAAAARRR!! Thread of evil was cut By your sword, Veil of lies was washed away from these lands. Krom, helped you on this day, you will make yourself a great king. Like a mountain you'll sit on your throne But remember you will be Forever alone...

Cold wind blows through your hair, Last leaf flies away, No one knows ...what you think of these days.. From nowhere come the ghosts Of bygone time and age No one knows what you feel, Only memories remains. Many hopes, many dreams, many lies. I have seen how blind God makes his crimes. I have lost many dreams, I awake with a scream, I will never be free from my fears. Chorus: The souls of brothers are watching you fight Great wars are over, but now there's a blight. Ghosts of the past,still remain in your mind All of your life you've been walking on the edge The only one not betraying his faith Time only brought you, desolation! Touches of the cold rain Hides the tears on your face Old man's feelings are nothing Death wash them away! Many winters ago you found your way Great warrior's call brought sword in your hand. Your path and your fate were known in advance But now they are gone like the long lost days! Long lost day! Solo My beliefs are dying heroes, All my dreams are broken mirrors, And I live with voices in my head. Chorus: The souls of brothers are watching you fight Great wars are over, but now there's a blight. Ghosts of the past, still remain in your mind All of your life you've been walking on the edge The only one, not betraying his faith Time only brought you, desolation! Long lost days!!!

Tell me why my heart is so dark like a coal. I tried to stop all this, but my hands killed them all. I saw their fear, I spilled their blood, So many faces, broken souls. I've lost my way a long time ago. So scary words out in my head: "Your soul is mine! Go bring them pain!" Another war, another death. He has never asked for mercy He's the one who never dies Feelings left his tortured body Death is his fellow traveler. Faster than a thousand blades. Blazing eyes are full of hate. If you're scared, he will see! Death is close, time to flee! The flow of sorrow washed them away - A river of black deadly pain Has crushed all those who stood his way No way out For no one, nowhere No way to stop The pain of a million souls.. He has never asked for mercy He's the one who never dies Feelings left his tortured body Death is his fellow traveler. Faster than a thousand blades. Blazing eyes are full of hate. If you're scared, he will see! Death is close, time to flee!

Wind brought us black smoke From foreign lands. Peace has been broken by your hands. You will be slain, and ours will be avenged. Blood for blood! No! No way back - Only glorious death! Sky, see my end, I will soon be there. Rain is falling, Drowning cries of enemies. Run through the fog full of hate Heart beats so strong. My mind is clear and always calm Keep head up high, with clear burning eyes! Burning eyes! No! No way back - Only glorious death! Sky, see my end, I will soon be there. Our warcry, Our warcry fills the air! Solo I look into the eyes of doom, Painful cries, lifeless eyes. We're not destined to live, But our sons will, will forgive. In the light of the dawn shines a battleground, Broken bodies are lying around. Shattered souls, falling down Shattered souls, falling down No! No way back - Only glorious death! Sky, see my end, I will soon be there. No, it's not the end All my hopes became true And warrior's soul appeased, I died for you! The warrior's heart is beating ... no more, But he will forever fight.

Alive Again 08:00
With a harness of steel and a tempered blade, An equestrian seeks out traces of a runaway. Led to these torrid lands by a lonely mage, From the tallest towers of Zul-Bha-Sair's sage. The haunted escapee in Zothique, The baccante sorceress, she's of mystique - Raised from beyond, no longer dead, Roam barren lands, from a god she fled. Flee! Flee! Flee! Flee! Flee! Flee! Stench of fear in the air and he spots her in the bower - The reared horse with the knight smothering the witches' power. The sheathed sword on his belt, rattling no less than armor, Given by Pharazyn, the infamous enchanter. And responding to her witchcraft, oscillating out loud, His sharp weapon at his side stirs the quiet of the mount. He alights now, bares his brand, hearkening to every sound, All of the sudden, she exhales, fearing that she'll be found. Nowhere to run From the wrong she has done! It is useless to cry. It is her fate to die, His will won't be denied. With her last breath, In a sorrowful death, She will beg that she's freed. On his sword she'll bleed! She will rue her misdeed! And the reek of death fills the marsh That soon will be, scorched to its soil in one flash. Daunted eyes pilfering the tears of the tarrier, Those ardent tears adorn her face dismayed. And singing silently rain claims them away, As dour doom is seen in the motions of the swift and bold warrior, Owned by the one who devours souls on his altar. Staring in her eyes, he lifts up the sigil hilt above her... Flash of the blade, And her life starts to fade. In a few seconds time She had paid for her crime. Those who live again, die! Warrior's eyes Still look as cold as ice. Once he gets off his steed, On his sword she'll bleed! She will rue her misdeed! Ooo-ooooo--oooo As she'll be fed to Mordiggian, yeah! A lifeless look on her face on the way back to the charnel.

Thankslist:

on this album, which was being created over the past 10 years: Alex Avdeev, Serge Konev, Vyacheslav Aparin,
Sergey Bukreev, and Vadim Kudryashov. And, of course, big thanks to my friends and the most staunch professionals
you will hear on this CD, for believing in this music and going to the end: Artem Omelenchuk, Stanislav Volkov and
Denis Grebenkin. I want to thank Mike Livas - his voice is truly made for our music, and I got enormously lucky to have
found him. Thanks to Chris Papadatos from No Remorse for beleiving in us, Kiriakos Balanos for such a great cover art,

hear in some of the songs. And special thanks to my wife Olga, who believed in my music more than others, and my
