Mary Celeste 06:17
A ghost ship in hiding Mystery upon open sea An amazing tiding Of a journey un-free Riding on the wave Aided by tailwinds sheer might Fortune favours the brave Taut sails through the night Bridge: Destination unknown The hand of fate leads the way Damnation on the go Grim Reaper harvesting Chorus: They are damned by the curse Of Mary Celeste Banned on high seas as uninvited guest Fearing the Ghost Of Mary Celeste Driven by hatred in a dead-hearted chest Daring their lives On the Mary Celeste As ghostly forces bend down the mast Threatened by the wrath Of Mary Celeste Caught in a wet grave for eternal rest Oh, Mary Celeste Will you find peace on your quest? Throwing caution to the wind Captain Briggs sets the course When all hell breaks loose Adrift in an act of force Tying their own noose Icy claws rupture their souls Mary climbs out of her tomb The night swallows their howls

You feel sad and quite exhausted Loneliness – your only friend And your whole life now lies broken Shattered fragments, it’s the end Bridge: Your spirit’s willing but your flesh is weak You taste the poison and rest yourself in peace Chorus: Having pictures in your mind Leaving all bad things behind As your blood’s running colder (And Blood is running colder) Escaping from reality There must be a better place to be Listening to voices in your head From – Another world Freezing wind blows right inside the Wounds as they are open wide Closer to the end with every breath You finally close your eyes Bridge: There’s none as blind as those who won’t see Just taste the poison and rest yourself in peace Chorus: Having pictures in your mind Leaving all bad things behind As your blood’s running colder (And Blood is running colder) Escaping from reality There must be a better place to be Follow the voices in your head Into – Another world

Ships are crashing into another No rest before one crew is on the run Defeat the enemy for plunder The pirate attack on the sea – has just begun Bridge: Attack! Two hundred throats are crying No prisoners, no mercy - for the dying Sabres clash, Fight it out - in the open Grapnels fly – death is in the air A desperate bid, jump into the fray This moment becomes the longest day Shots that hit their ship on the side The mast is now food for the flames “Surrender!” – The enemy crew vanquished They fought like lions but now leave them behind Blood money they have to pay Lord have mercy – the sea shall be their grave Bridge Chorus: You are a real buccaneer hero Adventurer on ship planks You are one of the daring pirates The Master of the Seven Seas Interlude You fought hard – you fought well You may sleep – you may find your hell A great victory so now take a bath in gold On the horizon a sail can be seen Maybe a war galleon – maybe our curse?

Black Fleet 04:09
Run, run, you better hide Here comes the “Devil’s Bride” Floating to the open sea Flotsam of your destiny Taut sails ´gainst the strongest blow Many, many years ago Now it’s just a misty vision Or the truth, it´s your decision Bridge: It’s coming over you Your fears you cannot hide Evocation of the evil Fear and fright Chorus: Black fleet on a white sea It’s getting nearer, getting faster Black fleet on a white sea A never-ending nightmare of disaster Pale moon is shining on the shore Everyone’s nightmare comes once more A deep bell rings throughout the night Here comes the “Devil’s Bride” The Lighthouse saw it first Approaching with a Vampire’s thirst Floating to the bay Bringing darkness and decay

Desert Son 05:28
Intro: The wind and the sun United they stand As his journey begun They took him by the hand Chorus: Ride on, son of the desert The legacy of ancient times Keep up, son of the desert The constant in a changing world Verse: Ocean of sand beneath the sky A blue firmament up to the world’s end Under a red, a merciless sun A prophet rose his protecting hand The tides of fate are changing fast Sand storms etch away all hope Forsaken plains – they will last The journey will be cut like a rope Bridge: Led by deep faith and pride He stands so mighty and grand With true belief on his side He is a king in an open land Chorus Verse: Scorching heat burns the soul Every breath is filled with pain Journey on - reaching the goal Hunger shall not have been in vain Beams of the sun blinding the eyes Misguiding illusions - one by one God granted him a thousand lives The kismet of a lonely desert son

You sit in your wasted black room Frustrated ‘bout all the bad things that just happened Just leave me alone - now No one hears your desperate cries And you find out that all they have told you are lies Foolish lies Bridge: Suicide - Solution Try to resist The call from the other side Life - or Death Don’t you think twice There is no reason to die Chorus: When you think all hope is gone Have the strength to carry on (Feel the power deep inside) Through the dark and never-ending night Out of darkness comes the light (That leads you to the road of fortune) Realising it’s time for a change Arranging all memories you have in your mind So don’t be a fool

We are banging, screaming, roaring We are living for the scene We believe in – metal madness Our unity is strength Much blood, sweat, and tears Forever we’re motion Can not stop the – metal comrades Rebellion is law Bridge: Now the time has come For revolution In unity awaiting Our resurrection Together we will fight Against all routine So better be prepared For salvation Chorus: Rise and shout Bane and devastation Rebirth and recreation Scream our call All night long Hope and pray Final seal is broken Bastard son’s awoken Hear our call (Oh-oh-ohh) Forward, faithful, honest We believe in our way Team spirit – metal chances Prejudice is cursed Ruthless, fearless, godless We travel the road again Never stop those – metal comrades United till the end

Varangian 06:55
Arise The Norsemen arise from the distant shores for glory and for gold To the battle Fighting foreign wars to crush their foes and raze ‘em to the ground Set off With animosity heading out to overrun the untamed land Ardor They cross the line of the river Danaper - into the enemy lands Bridge: Ruled over Kiev and Novgorod As they demanded Constantinople Chorus: No army stopped their raids Blazed a trail through ancient lands In todays foraged Russian plains They built princedoms with their native hands And with pride in their hearts Crying battle calls to capture foreign lands Byzantium heard them roar In Miklagard they sealed their fate Combat As they attacked Constantinople – war and bloodshed everywhere Miklagard Forced to fight in Miklagard - Byzantiums heart - no mercy will be granted Frontline Warriors break through the enemy lines to end the slaughtering Hard-pushed They lose the war through their own fault – ending their ascendancy Bridge Chorus Avarice Blinded by greed they fight on an on - walking straight into the trap Hail Tyr The god of war leaves them behind abandoning their fate Downfall Varangians show no mercy - the path they choose until their downfall Retreat Byzantium strike down the hordes - sealing their defeat Bridge Chorus Outro: Sail to the horizon - will you ever gonna reach your shores again? Stand for Odin's glory - all attempts of conquest were in vain Steel meets steel - Norsemen swords against Byzantine scimitars Their destiny is sealed - Valhalla won’t await them

Only evil intentions You’re rotten to the core Insult - your main infection Stupid child - nothing more Hey, “Mr. Know-It-All” Your “wisdom” shall be told But you don’t know the first thing Your brain must have been sold Chorus: Mean Mistreater – Deceiving all the time Mean Mistreater – You ain’t got no life Mean Mistreater – Hate is all you feel Mean Mistreater – So f*** off and die! Dumb beyond belief Don’t talk no fucking rot A closed mouth draws no flies Just in case you forgot A waste of gene material An accident of birth On your destructive mission Compassion has no worth
