Wings Of Fire (Music: Otto Ahoniemi, Mikael Salo; Lyrics: Mikael Salo)

Through the mountains of mist
Through the forest where light 
Is a stranger to those 
Darkest memories
To a land we shall arrive 
Where our mighty hall 
Has fallen to claws 
So fierce and so greed

Now see 
The treasure bed and feel 
The warm breeze 
Behold 
The dragon's keep

We will face the great beast 
Avenge our tragedy
For our fathers and brothers we will prevail
And a hero shall rise 
Who'll pierce the dragon's heart
And the wings of fire will fade away

Though the battle's not mine
I was chosen from 
My peaceful home
Caught by the changing tides  
And though I feel afraid, 
My heart tells me 
To carry on 
Through darkness and fear  

A small step at first 
Towards the golden glow
I feel it's presence so haunting
Don't know what to search 
A sudden gleam of light
From a shining stone 
Caught my eye

My magic ring 
From within the mountains
Helps me to wander the halls
But soon the beast calls me
And my cleverness is 
Put to a test

Thorin hear me
Your tragedy
Will not let go with greed
And though I gave the stone 
As a sign of peace
Don't start a war of insanity

We will face the great beast 
Avenge our tragedy
For our fathers and brothers we will prevail
And a hero shall rise 
Who'll pierce the dragon's heart
And the wings of fire will fade away

King For The Land (Music: Otto Ahoniemi, Okko Järvinen, Mikael Salo; Lyrics: Mikael Salo)

In a land far away
Under burning sun
A king made a vow
Promised his own soul
But he betrayed 
The twisted son of hell
Now a great madness shall reign 
Forevermore

Snakes
The damned creatures covered his mortal skin
In agony he cursed
And fell to the greater evil
In a vision he saw 
The bane of his throne

So the king left
To hunt the chosen one
Fire spreading wide, 
But no mark in sight
Mother of the child
Trying to hide
A trail of death
Follows her path

Would he find the one
Or could our precious freedom come again?

Flames are burning on our land
Will a true king return?
A spark in the darkness
Our new hope
The crown calls
A king for the land?

A perfect trap 
What would it be?
To find the threat 
From my old dream
Father of the chosen you have to kill
To reveal his son
So shall it be!

Growing and living in peace was the boy
One day the wind brought a story of sorrow
Vengeance and fury
Raging deep inside
Now hear my cry
I swear you will die!

Would he avenge us all
And could he forge a new age pure and bright?

Flames are burning on our land
Will a true king return?
His warcry now calls us to war
We'll follow our king for the land

Flames slowly rise from hell
A bloody battle has begun

Tonight
Blood stains the sand
For demons and men 
Shall fight 'till their final breath!

Flames have fallen
Burned away
But the ashes of time will remain
The evil lord lies defeated and slain
All praise our new king for the land

Freedom Or Death (Music: Mikael Salo, Okko Järvinen; Lyrics: Mikael Salo)

You've got to fight for the land
Raise your rebellious hand
Our home lies in the 
Shadows of a war
Hold thy sword and shout
Now men from our homeland 
Unite and make our stand
Revolt against the forces of the 
English tyrant Edward the First

My father fallen by them
And now they strike us again
Axe has been drawn from the well 
This can't go on  
First blood has been spilled 
Old kingdom lost all its grace
They rape and murder betray
The only answer is war for 
Freedom is the only thing that's real

Blood covers our land
Staining its stones
Forever the pain rips through my heart
But soon they shall pay 
And justice will rule once more
Freedom or death

This is the land of the free
Noble and strong we must be
Our army grows everyday
Courage shall lead us
Defend our green highlands
The road we've taken is long
The battle's taken its toll
And under darkening skies
We're facing demons
In the hearts of men

The final struggle is close
Our leader's life has been lost
Yet his legacy lives it fuels our rage
We no longer know fear
Now all our foes hear our scream
Your blood shall run cold and clean
We now will gain liberty and 
So our nation's shackles will break down

The call of faith
Fills our minds
Although death may come
We'll never surrender

Blood covers our land
Stained on it's stones
Forever the pain rips through my heart
But soon they shall pay 
And justice will rule once more  
Freedom or death

Burn For The Holy Name (Music: Okko Järvinen, Mikael Salo; Lyrics: Mikael Salo)

Arrived 
To this small town
To cleanse 
It's foul pestilence
A storm in my heart 
Raging restless

They'll taste 
The edge of my sword
And flames 
Shall wash all their sins
The screams of the innocent 
Haunt my dreams

Black heart is not worthy of life 
It's pure evil
Tempting your mind with lies 
It gains control
You'll serve on it's gods
The demons of the dark
My face will haunt you
As you burn for the holy name
And feel the divine pain

Now search 
And gather all clues
Snakes tongue 
Is slither and swift
An eye open 
Watching on all of us

Failure 
Is not an option
In need 
The whole town will burn
My burden 
Will wear out my soul

Black heart is not worthy of life 
It's pure evil
Tempting your mind with lies 
It gains control
You'll serve on it's gods 
The demons of the dark
My face will haunt you 
As you burn for the holy name
And feel the divine pain

Follow 
The son of the marksman
And then 
You'll find what you seek
The trail 
You are bound to find

Disgust
It's pure mutation
It flees
To the edge of forest
But we cut it's way
Now we'll face it

Black heart is not worthy of life 
It's pure evil
Tempting your mind with lies 
It gains control
You'll serve it's gods 
The demons of the dark
My face will haunt you 
As you burn for the holy name
And feel the divine pain
Tormenting me inside
I follow the line of my part

Labyrinth Of Time (Music: Mikael Salo, Okko Järvinen; Lyrics: Mikael Salo)

Facing the darkness I fell
Through fear and through hate
Death of a romance so cold

Silent stars
Staring down
Upon me
Will I find release

For I have been lost
In the labyrinth of time
And my soul will not rest 
Until I find my missing part
Will I ever be free
This path is my destiny
Will I find my way out 
From this labyrinth of time

Waiting
For the spell of inspiration
To the darkness I ride
The trail is clear
Calling out my name
I must not fear

Time goes by 
Nothing changes
There must be a way to light
We advance
We explore
Yet we falter
The answer is lost
Is there hope

For I have been lost
In the labyrinth of time
And my soul will not rest 
Until I find my missing part
Will I ever be free 
This path is my destiny
Will I find my way out 
From this labyrinth of time

My young soul 
In an age of a millennia
My new home
In an unknown world 

I will fight
She will not die
There must be change 
In the course of time

For I have been lost
In the labyrinth of time
And my soul will not rest 
Until I find my missing part
Will I ever be free 
This path is my destiny
Will I find my way out 
From this labyrinth of time

A Seer's Tale (Music: Mikael Salo, Okko Järvinen; Lyrics: Mikael Salo)

Here I Am
Facing the north wind again
On these paths I have walked on 'till the end
The words
Are all that are left in my hands
And through them I will pass on my dreams

Feeling time
As it moves through the vast fields of gold
The dreams
Memories
All gone

I will sing to the wind
I will sing to the rain
I will sing my tale of this forgotten land
Through the ice and snow
Through the winter so cold
I will sing
I will sing
I will sing

My eyes
Have seen oh so much in my time
Such wonders and beauty all around
And though the road behind's stable and strong
The future's so hard to comprehend

Feeling time
As it moves through the vast fields of gold
The dreams
Memories
All gone

I will sing to the wind
I will sing to the rain
I will sing my tale of this forgotten land
Through the ice and snow
Through the winter so cold
I will sing
I will sing
I will sing

Seasons change
Yet I stand still
Will all be dust
And what will remain

I will sing to the wind
I will sing to the rain
I will sing my tale of this forgotten land
Through the ice and snow
Through the winter so cold
I will sing
I will sing
I will sing

The Fallen Empire (Music: Joose Ylianttila, Mikael Salo, Otto Ahoniemi; Lyrics: Mikael Salo)

Nor future 
Nor the past
In the shrine of dimensions
The snake eats it's tail
And time passes by  

A circle of life 
Keeps the flame alive
Surrounded by
The forgotten and the damned

Light
In the darkness lies
Yet I cannot find
Their voices are whispering to me 
Is it worth the price
My sacrifice
Will it be enough
Will I find my piece of mind

Bound to stand
In this barren land
On a soil that never will heal
Out from the ruins
Reaching out it's hand
Oh the fallen empire will rise
 
My past 
Filled with pain and anger
Swords in the night
Treachery and corruption
Oh the scars run so deep
In the land of the abyss
Oh he will fight
I seek for repentance
For my sanity

Follow me
In the darkness we wait
You will see
The value of a man's life
The time has come
To let your soul join us
Be undone
You will vanish as the

Light
In the darkness lies
Yet I cannot find
Their voices are whispering to me
Is it worth the price
My sacrifice
Will it be enough
Will I find my piece of mind

Bound to stand
In this barren land
On a soil that never will heal
Out from the ruins
Reaching out it's hand
Oh the fallen empire will rise

The pain is calling
The darkness falling
Stay together or fall forever
Don't let the madness creep in your mind
For in these halls lurks an ancient perilous evil
Oblivion

The demon
The knight
One of the nine
A puppet filled with lies
Is gazing for life 
To unleash it's rage

An evil bargain
Don't let it in
See through the mask
Be strong and
Save your souls

Bound to stand
In this barren land
On a soil that never will heal
Out from the ruins
Reaching out it's hand
Oh the fallen empire will rise
It will rise
