We're marching towards agony We're facing the inclemency of our mistake Approaching new infinity To heal all mankind We're gazing into the sun The doorway will lead us to oblivion We once thought it imperative But it all was in vain. A lust for more has always been in our minds We're standing tall and proud but soon we'll realize Creating marionettes with minds so equal to our own Obeying our command but with no Heart and cold as ice Only emptiness in their eyes We are blessed with feelings to love and to grief and hate But our insanity gives them the power to destroy Since the inception of life Now we have faith on our side Leading with glory and with pride but time will show Years have passed since the dawn of our time Redemption, the price to pay. Chorus: Freedom and pride, and faith on our side We are the ones who rules the earth Walking through the flames, and crossing the gates For the power we must secure Freedom and pride, its our guiding light We are the ones who turns the tide A lust for more we're all fighting for Beyond the veil of reality Like there's a curse laid down to compel us with our greed A dark old man signing our death warrant as we proceed Hiding in our shadows, waiting for when the time is right If one man knows the other Fools wouldnt believe you They will hunt you and decieve you A sinner, a sinner into their eyes We were send into this world to survive, unite as one Is this the end of the age of men, will we be gone? For a time we struggled in agony Driven by fear and despair Maybe this is our destiny Leading us to the neverlands Into the neverland Chorus Solo: Mads / Simon / Mads Chorus x 2

It was many years from now Though it seems like just before They took away my family They took my fathers sword It was forged by fire Proudly made of steel Now send me to slavery And turning on the wheel Now I'm released from the pain Agony I have sustained I carry on with the sword in my hand And travel to far and distant lands. Chorus: I hear the words of my father And I see the sign The mountain I must go on Driven by vengeance So might and divine With the gods, on my side, we will divide! I'm gazing up the mountain As I'm praying to my god The time for repentance Now it will take part Make one last request for me Grant me with revenge A heart, so cold as ice So hard, to describe As I go into the fray They know the price they should pay I've traveled on a million miles far away Justice will guide on my way But still I can hear. Chorus Solo: Mads As I'm marching on I remember my word And I swear I will hold this creed Forever and ever I will carry on Till I see my enemies bleed As I go into the fray They know the price they should pay I've traveled on a million miles far away Justice will guide on my way

Rumors 07:34
Tell me now why I have to feel shameful now All coming through, words so untrue, if I only knew. Spreading words out for no reason then what for Terrible sight, pain I must bite, how can I fight reputation. The words from my heart, and from the enemy Could it be someone I know, who unleashed this treachery Raging out as parasites, they're building up an evil disease and I'm surrounded by only fear and hate, Anger and confusion, has brought me to this state. All appears the same, but I fear that they already know Red eyes in the night, waiting for a fight. Chorus: Innocence fall apart, tell a lie for raging up this war And you'll betray, and the rumors were fading away Here I stand, fall apart, to solve this it seems I have to Find another way, and the rumors were fading away. Trust in those you have near. Say it all, loud and clear. Your call, shall not be refused What do you got to lose IT ALL, now I can see, in the eyes of a fool You just keep looking straight but I, can see behind, behind this facade. of good thoughts, thats just a filthy lie! Say it to me, I'm your loyal friend You can count on me I swear to you that I wont tell anyone ... Feel free to speak Lie, you shut your mouth, your just a coward Are you supposed to be my friend? But in the end, youll stab my back, with full on attack Chorus Solo Mads / Simon / Mads Cold winds blown and cleared my thoughts so pure Now I feel strange, as I enter the room, preparing my doom They just smiled at me and offer me a place They didnt think , that I was aware, they locked me in this mystery Chorus x 2

For a time where war rage their lands And guns blazing fires burning down their Home and all forced to run, to run or to fight In the name and the cause of their beliefs Hunting them down - and they were to find Another place - another place they could dwell. Seeking the light - into the north Journey of light - all side by side, into the new unknown Chorus: So we march as one of a million All to find a place to heal our souls To the land of mighty warriors Steel yourself this road will be long, together we'll find new home Into the kingdom of the light Fate has brought them this far And many have lost their strenght and power Now as I see far and wide Cause in the horizon lies the Kingdom of the Light It has begun! They were taken by the hand into new paradise And offered, all the aid they have to give Feasting, crashing, stealing it all for themselves without Question, taking advantage of what they achieve Chorus Solo: Simon / Mads Into the kingdom, kingdom, kingdom - of the light! Omkvæd x 2

Swarms approaching in the dead of the night, raging in from the southern gate Thousands of sabres, cutting through all the ones with a different fate You can hide in the snow, hide in the trees to avoid this religious war Religious or not, this has to stop we shall pray for our mighty lord Cause in the midst of quake and lightning, HE'LL RETURN And all the signs of evil rising, WILL BURN Yeah on his throne he is awaiting - waiting for Chorus: Heroic Return! Infidels paying their blood to our masters hand Heroic Return! Setting free from the stone to defend our land Yeah the thorn is growing tall and sharp , in the lake where the enemies ride He will tie his horse to the thorn , and call his brothers to fight on his side. All the ones who dare, and all who can wield a sword Will make sure their blood runs to their knees, and kneel before our mighty horde Cause in the midst of quake and lightning, HE'LL RETURN And all the signs of evil rising, WILL BURN On his throne he is awaiting -- waiting for Chorus Solo: Mads Chorus x 2

Some say he's light, he's the bringer of light, he is the bringer of might (told by a liar) Just tell me why we are divided in sides, we are divided inside our insane world God he's so desperate for war, though he put faith in us all The faith that leads to fall Chorus: God is the Tyrant of War -- tyrant, tyrant God is the Tyrant of War -- tyrant, tyrant God is the Tyrant of War! Why are you wasting all of your life, on preparing your death (why dont't you kill yourself) Your bane is approaching you now, as you are holding your vow, life based on pages Troops march and dying in vain, for many years without end Tragic, its all for nothing, but unholy gods! Chorus x 2 Tyrant, tyrant, Tyrant of War! Chorus x 2

In desert times new law has conqured this land New thrones and kings are rising, tall and proud they stand False words, betrayal, imprisoning me here Death or deliverance, my end is near Melodic interlude/solo: Mads Fighting for freedom and the crowds they entertain They should know better for all the pain i have sustained Waiting, and shivering, as they open the door Into the arena where bloods runs down the floor So you can hear my roar Chorus: Howl of Jeronimus And hail to the glorious They'll fly to heaven for eternity If I should fall in misery Or freedom will carry me Revenge for the king will last forever - and eternally Travel now to Elysium, may your spirits rest in peace I swear, I will avenge, the king down to his knees. I am the last prisoner standing against the lord Howling into the vast place so you can hear my word So you can hear my word. Chorus Solo: Simon Chorus x 2
