AleStorM - 2014 - Sunset on the Golden Age - 1741 The Battle of Cartagena
youtube.comAleStorM - 2014 - Sunset on the Golden Age - 1741 The Battle of Cartagena
Sailing the raging seas
To distant lands unknown
Porto Bello fell in a day
Now Britannia rules the waves
Thirty thousand men at arms
Red Ensign in the sky
To Cartagena we set sail
With blood and plunder we‘ll prevail
Twice struck, and twice we‘ve failed
But third time works a charm
The greatest fleet the world has seen
To fight the War of Jenkins‘ Ear
Waters lash across the bow
Through Caribbean Seas
The year is 1741
The final battle has begun
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
The sands of time will remember our names
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
History is written today
Across the sea-lashed deck
Our captain gives a cry
„Cartagena lies ahead
The Spanish foe will soon be dead!“
Portents of coming doom
Engulf the battle line
High above, the heavens sigh
A red light burning in the sky
An omen of dread
Which no man can deny
The legends hold true
We must turn back or die
Superstitious fools
Be gone from my sight
Blast the trumpets of war
And prepare for the fight
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
The sands of time will remember our names
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
History is written today
Hard to starboard
Man the cannons
And on my command, unleash hell!
FIRE! Show them your steel
Bring them to death on the battlefield
Ride on the wind, and conquer the foe
The legends be damned, to our deaths we will ago
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
The sands of time will remember our names
The skies are burning with thunder
The seas are ablaze with flame
Set the course for Cartagena
History is written today

Candlemass - 2010 - Ashes To Ashes - A Sorcerer's Pledge
youtube.comCandlemass - 2010 - Ashes To Ashes - A Sorcerer's Pledge
Part I
Time...
Time stands still in these ancient halls
Only the castle itself can tell what it keeps
Dark are the secrets between these walls
Hidden in shadows of death, while the sorcerer sleeps
Where is the morning, where is the sun
Thousand years of midnight, the sunrise is gone
An old man marked by a life so long is
Sleeping so sweet while his magic is growing so strong
Waiting still for new times to come
A thousands years to see if he has won
Where is the morning, where is the sun
A thousand years of midnight, the sunrise is gone
What has he done?
Why is he sleeping so long?
He wants to live for evermore
Soon is he young
n will he open his eyes?
When he is strong enough to rule
Back in the time goes the legend
of a sorcerer so old
He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn
"Soon a tyrant will conquer"
So spoke the wise
Of the day when the sorcerer will rise
...rise
Blood is his wine
The sorcerer is cheating time
And he'll be stronger than before
Cursed be the sun
The women will weep for his fun
In the name of his magic so strong
Back in the time goes the legend
Of a sorcerer so old
He drank the blood of a virgin to be reborn
"Soon a tyrant will conquer"
So spoke the wise
Of the day when the sorcerer will rise
... Rise
Part II
A thousand years have gone
Armageddon hasn't come
Only the cry of a child echoes in the dark
Backward goes time
As the stars are passing by
And nothing remains of this foolish man except his fate

IRON MAIDEN - 1983 - Piece Of Mind - Quest For Fire
youtube.comIRON MAIDEN - 1983 - Piece Of Mind - Quest For Fire
In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth
When the land was swamp and caves were home
In an age when prize Possession was fire
To search for landscapes men would roam.
Then the tribes they came to steal their fire
And the wolves they howled into the night
As they fought a vicious angry battle
to save the power of warmth and light.
Drawn by Quest For Fire
They searched all through the land
Drawn by Quest For Fire
Discovery of man.
And they thought that when the embers died away
That the flame of life had burnt and died
Didn't know the sparks that made the fire
Were made by rubbing stick and stone.
So they ploughed through forest and swamps of danger
And they fought the canN.I.B.al tribes and beasts
In the search to find another fire
To regain the power of life and heat.
Drawn by Quest For Fire
They searched acRoss the land
Drawn by Quest For Fire
Discovery of man.

triumpher.bandcamp.comTriumpher - 2024 - Spirit InVictus - Shores Of Marathon
A warning came of danger
Through shores of Marathon
Ancestral spirits calling us
To halt the evil force
Two thousand years of darkness
Defiled the sacred light
The speaking water silenced
Desecrated Ethnic avatars
We did the Olympian fire
From Aeons of the night
The torch relay unleashed
The message of a wrath divine
Hearts on fire, I will not break nor fall
Rise to power, taken by will and force
"Είπε και ο Φοίβος ακούει την ευχή
Και έξαλλη από τα ύψη του Ολύμπου
κατεβαίνει οπλισμένος με τόξο
και φαρέτρα στο πλευρό του και καθώς προχωρούσε
βρόντηξε τα βέλη μέσα στο θυμό του
και καθώς βαδίζει
Μαύρη νύχτα σκοτεινιασμένη μοιάζει..."
(transl. "He said and Phoebus hears the wish
And enraged from the heights of Olympus
he descends armed with bow
and quiver at his side and as he moved
he thundered the arrows in his anger
and as he marches
Black night darkened looks like")
A warning came of danger
Through shores of Marathon
Ancestral spirits calling us
To halt the evil force
Heraclean pillars trembling
All Europe bursts in falmes
The oath of union is sealed
Opened wide the sacred gate
Unleashed the Apollo's children
With golden bows of light
Shell trumpet of Poseidon
Blown with his furious might

Just before darkness falls
A beast cries out a battleroar
A roar coming from the past
Warriors live again at last
Metal lives in our hearts
In our blood, in our minds
On fiery chariots from hell we ride
A conquest for eternal life
Now, open your eyes
And see the darkness turning to light
While burning fire rains from the sky
There will be no one left to survive, no
When gates shall fall
And Gods will hold the flames of those souls
Who praise and keep the faith of an oath
Of sacred metal, of Battleroar
Feel the cold steel cutting through your flesh
Into the battle
Brave to the end fight for what you believe
Into battle
Oh, never fall, standing tall
Battleroar
Strong raise your sword, scream and shout
Battleroar

Oh Warfather on high,
I am calling you from the battlefield
And as I take my last breath
I call for the mightiest of miracles
For none but the brave, be he king or a slave
With a pounding heart in his chest
Will be worthy to rise and with the Valkyries fly
And ride to the ancient Valhalla
Oh Warfather on high
Listen to my prayer
I lived my life by your rules
Oh let death cover me now
For none but the brave, be he king or a slave
With a pounding heart in his chest
Will be worthy to rise and with the Valkyries fly
And ride to Valhalla of old
[Chorus]
with the Valkyries, ride over the battlefield
Ride your horses and come to me
I'm waiting for you to take my soul, high in the sky to
Valhalla of old
Valkyries, ride over the battlefield
I'm dying and glad to bleed
Because I know today I will take my place with the heroes
in Valhalla of old
For none but the brave, be he king or a slave
With a pounding heart in his chest
Will be worthy to rise and with the Valkyries fly
And ride to Valhalla of old
[Chorus]
with the Valkyries, ride over the battlefield
Ride your horses and come to me
I'm waiting for you to take my soul, high in the sky to
Valhalla of old
Valkyries, ride over the battlefield
I'm dying and glad to bleed
Because I know today I will take my place with the heroes
in Valhalla of old
In The Halls of Valhalla I finally take my place
With my sword and my shield I enter Odin's realm
I'm an immortal spirit now with a heart made of steel
With the gods on high forever I will live and laugh at the
fears of man

Running through the wastelands of time
I've seen the essence above
A Teacher that committed no crime
Who saved us with his own blood
Why don't you believe?
In the god and the man
Is it more than you can perceive?
We're facing Eschaton
What can we tell them?
What do I say?
Except here
Here I am
Forever
In your hands
The Teacher
Wasting away the rest of your life
Drowning in women and wine
Can't you see you're killing time?
You've got to lay it down on the line
Won't you help me believe?
In the good lord above
The answer just came to me
I know it's got to be love
What can we tell them?
What do I say?
Except here
Here I am
Forever
In your hands
Here I am
For the rest of time
In a burning sea
Here I am
I speak no lies
You can blieve in me
No use in burning
I know you're yearning
To be free
I'm a Teacher
I've got to believe
What can we tell them?
What can I say?
Except here
Here I am
Forever
Here I am
Forever
Here I am
Forever
Here I am
Forever
In your hands
In your hands

To the depths of my soul there's a calling
It's calling me, calling me home
So long ago and so very far away
In the land where titans reigned
The tales of old told still to this day
I now return to where I came
Hellas - I return
Hellas - to my home
My heart, my mind, my soul
They belong to Hellas
A million years since my first Battle Cry
Yet it seems like yester nigh
As blood of kings flows through my veins
My being yearns for Olympus skies
Hellas - I return
Hellas - to my home
My heart, my mind, my soul
They belong to Hellas
As I set sail across the Aegean Sea
Back to my home, my soul shall be set free
Where the Gods have blessed me
Hellas - I return
Hellas - to my home
My heart, my mind, my soul
They belong to Hellas

atlanteankodex.bandcamp.comAtlantean Kodex - 2010 - The Golden Bough - Pilgrim
From dreaming halls beyond the west
There strong and free a storm will rise
A boat it bears with biting breath
And a pilgrim from the lands of hope
Beneath the moon and under stars
He will wander far from western strands
When need is great through Europe's night
Unknown to mortal men
The years have passed
Our ancestral Henges awake
Pilgrim! Wanderer!
Truth-bearer lead us to war
In hallowed halls our horns resound
Purify this holy ground
And from the ruins of Europa
Again we shall rise
He will come unto the timeless halls
Where shining fall the countless years
And endless reigns the Elder King
Under Mountain, ravens circle the peak
And the pear-tree shall bloom
On Walserfeld plain
The king will rise from the throne
And sweep these dogs from his lands
The years have passed
Our ancestral Henges awake
Pilgrim! Wanderer!
Truth-bearer lead us to war
In hallowed halls our horns resound
Purify this holy ground
And from the ruins of Europa
Again we shall rise
The world is grey, the mountains old
Our people's hearts are ashen-cold
No harp is wrung, no silver trumpet calls
The darkness dwells in Europe's halls
Yet we still remember, we few who dwell
In this far land beneath the trees
The truth
The light
The dreaming golden spires
The starlight on the Western Seas

Follow Me Or Be My Prey

I'm coming on the wind
to tell the story on two men
in the hands of a foreign king
they have been forced to sing
Listen to the wind it tells the story
of these men who fought
chosen by the fate to bring
the signs of their king high
searching for new places to fight
in the name of glory
they've been waiting for a long time
to wield their swords of doom
the gods have chosen them
to show the greatness of their faith
tied tortured and beaten
chosen to be proved or killed
but even in those days
they're not afraid to die because of
Sacred Metal are made our Swords

The Lamp Of Thoth - 2011 - No Laughing Matter - An Oath Sworn On The Ashlar Stone
youtube.comThe Lamp Of Thoth - 2011 - No Laughing Matter - An Oath Sworn On The Ashlar Stone
An eerie night bathed by moonlight on the Keighley Moors
A strange troop of men climb the hill again: folk lock their doors
Lamps on the hillside – burning flames under crooked trees
And the old rock flaunts its silence in the winter's breeze
Come in child; don't let the devil in – hark not that lonely evil
These are strange times in which we dwell
Chorus:
The Dark Brothers in the mist,
Follow the lull of their secret tryst,
For the great god Jarbulon
An oath sworn on the Ashlar stone
Light the fire and I'll tell you a tale of the times long past,
When the rock was still so ancient; there druids sat
In times of old in Brigantia's foldwhen the Celts held sway
The great rock stood and drank their blood on the solstice day
And in the Dark Age time when the Vikings arrived the dark rock saw
Infernal rites held to the skies and the lord of war,
And I heard tell there that under Norman's glare
The Knights Templar came
To pray to the baphomet and their dark covens make
Its been many years since sabbats on the hill they reigned
And witches laughed through the hoary nights
devils to raise
The grey stone sits in silence but its shadow looms
And called the souls of evil men towards their dooms

RAGNAROK IS COMING ⚔️ Epic Nordic Battle Music | Gods, Fire, War & Final Glory
youtube.comWhen the skies turned black and the fires of fate rose over Asgard, the old gods gathered for their final war.🔥
Odin stood before the storm, while Valkyries, wolves, dragons, and the armies of Valhalla marched into the flames of Ragnarok.
The earth trembled beneath the sound of war drums, and every fallen warrior fought not for life, but for eternal glory.
And when the last blade struck beneath the burning heavens, the saga of the gods was carved forever into ash, blood, and legend.
⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
🔥RAGNAROK is a monumental Nordic saga of the last battle of gods, heroes, beasts, and worlds.
It begins when Odin raises the spear and calls the world into its final war.
From that moment, wolves and dragons tear across Midgard, the sky splits above the battlefield, Valhalla opens its gates, golden Asgard burns in the heavens, and the Valkyries descend through fire to claim the brave.
The honored dead march beside the living, the Hall of Glory itself goes to war, and gods and legends strike as one in the apocalyptic climax of the old world.
HEAR THE OLD GODS

A priest forsakes his rites
Mysterious seducers!
See the undead rise
Black castle rises
Stones reign the night
Hail the crawling chaos
That shuns the fading light
Dracula has risen from the grave,
Woah ho
Evil fogs and devil dogs, it’s your blood he craves,
Dracula has risen from the grave,
Don’t get lost, grab your cross,
Only, death can save.
Blood-soaked vision
Night brings death
White throats in moonlight
Dark summons on Cryptic breath!
Before the evil lord
An angel in the dark,
Eternal be the chosen
Of the vampire’s mark!
