Uncle Sam Did call And now your back’s against the wall You fight hard In this hell And you better do it well Start to run And try to hide Maybe you can turn the tide You better win It’s no use! This combat you should not lose Bridge: So here you fight alone now Way too much to your regret Standing right at the frontline With the enemies ahead Chorus: Will you run or will you hide? Will you live or will you die? Who decides? All the thoughts you have in mind Insanity enclosed please find As you pass the point of no return You look Into The barrel of a gun Let’s face The end As the Reaper takes your hand Bridge: A soldier at the crossroads Targeting with bated breath Surrender now or never Desert or loyalty till death?

Dark Reign 04:32
Welcome the new world Where black and white unite There is no war and pain Utopia – in sight Bridge: Don’t you trust his words He’s playing the devils’ game Trying to blindfold you Subjugation – his only aim Chorus: Dark reign A million slaves ruled by one master Dark reign In misery and pain Dark reign All your souls are damned forever Dark reign Endless fear – his gain You sold your soul It’s his private property For all eternity His servant you will be Bridge: Don’t you comprehend? You are now in Evil’s hand Sold down the river Your hourglass – running out of sand

Can you see the light – a lightning in the dark Can you feel the painful overture? Now it’s … time to feel – just what you did to me Your deadly breath on my neck - I can’t endure Bridge: All you are is pain Play your deceitful game Chorus: So, you are my slaughter You are the devil’s daughter The deuce is the one who brought her My curse, the devil’s daughter It is … over now – this love is dead and gone It was an evil dream – to be with you Now it’s… time to see – just what you did to me Raping my soul is all that you do Bridge: You rule with pain In your evil reign But it’s not over now I swear I will return I’ll cry for revenge Forevermore

Over 80 years Christians had held Jerusalem Then the infidels recaptured it again And so the Pope proclaimed a new Crusade With one hundred and fifty thousand men, Barbarossa tempted fate Chorus: So he started his march On a torturous road To free the Holy Land In the name of the Lord With the sign of the cross Many battles were fought In lands far away So far away Far away from his home Fighting far away Far away Away from his home As they reached the river Saleph, he crossed it on his horse Falling down into the water, his heavy armour made him drown Chorus: And he started his march On a torturous road To free the Holy Land In the name of the Lord With the sign of the cross Many battles were fought In lands far away So far away Far away from his home Dying far away Far away Buried far away from home Buried far away from home Buried far away from home

Prelude: For many centuries Men with different sets of belief They lived together in peace But a religious war came Without any qualms They started to destroy The Kingdom of Heaven Verse: Out of nowhere they came to lay claim to our land Conquered and devastated, got our people under their command Regard themselves as nobleman, but let us nail this lie They will show no mercy, when you hear their battle cry Bridge: From the West Across the sea They brought us pain and misery Led by the cross And greed of gain Taking the name of thy God in vain Barbarian pack Wounded our pride The greatest evil - far and wide We'll let you pay For all your sins We'll fight you back, coz - who dares wins! Chorus: Kill the Lion Kill the King Let our anger be tenfold Scream it out, don't hold your tongue This slogan must be told Kill the Lion Kill the King A sight to behold Free the land, no more suffering Joint forces will be bold Verse: We treated you with respect, but scorn was our reward Religion ain’t based on hatred, is that the will of God? Your Ten Commandments – start to read and learn Tried our patience too many times – now the tables will turn

Hard cured blood is cleaving on my cold hands A river of sweat is flowing down my forehead Anger and pain – this is my motivation I came to bring some hell Bridge: Am I the chosen one? Will I become a holy man? Chorus: Just another killing spree On another bloody day To bring democracy Where violence is routine In the name of God I shed your blood To punish all your godless actions Peace and honour – my final destination I thought I’d rest in heaven, but now I burn in hell! Bridge: Oh God, what have I done? Is this what you wanted from me? Chorus: Just another killing spree On another bloody day To bring some liberty Where violence is routine

March or Die 06:20
He tried to flee from the past So he joined the foreign legion Disembarked to no man’s land He went through hell on earth Bridge: Stand, fight – no mercy will be shown We must hold at all costs This ruin in holy desert sand As long as we can breathe Pre-Chorus: Legionnaire – March or die You ain’t got nothing to lose Legionnaire – Fight ‘til death Not for pride and not for glory Chorus: Aim and fire, reload your rifle fast You have to kill with each shot This assailing horde must be stopped Hundreds of enemies as far as the eye can see Hounded through the desert plains Merciless, the sun burned on his skin One hundred soldiers left the fort The half of them died on the march With only a bunch of men He holds the line – back-to-back Killed in a crossfire – in a strange land In loneliness the legionnaire died

Vinland 07:49
Standing restless on the ocean side Can not resist the call of the waves The Norsemen have to start another ride The perils of the sea will decide their fate Far away in the Northern Arctic Sea A stormy wind set the ship off course The dragon longboat found its destiny Ice-free woodland - hallowed ground Refrain: Sail to the horizon Reach the shore Glory for Odin! Hear them roar Take the fertile soil Into your hand The birth of a nation All hail for Vinland! Feeling warm sunlight on their skin On the horizon their sails appear They sailed through storm and many heavy winds As they reached the coast of the unknown land No other man should stand in their way Listen to the sound of clashing steel The Vikings are finally entering Girding themselves for the battle Refrain Take the fertile dirt into your hand In the green valleys full of trees Deer and goods for a settlement Exploring the riches of this land Grab your shield, hold your axe and spear New territory to be seized Take what you want from the natives Praise this gift, hallowed be Vinland!
10.
There’s a riot in the air Good old fighting with some flair Rising tension everywhere Spill some blood, in duty bound Good old people on the ground Screams of anger in the air Bridge: Yellow teeth crash ‘gainst the walls Someone’s got you by the balls Refrain: Living in a Bastard Nation Living in a Bastard Nation Living in a Bastard Nation Living in a Bastard Nation Chaos’ raging in the streets Dirty guys do dirty deeds Burning cars, a violent scene Roll your eyes and look inside See the blur inside the light Yes, it’s true… you’re a bastard, too Unite!
