Victory Song 10. Lady In Black 1. Ad Victoriam [Instrumental] 2. Blood Is The Price Of Glory Before the grimmest enemy Cold rain whipping those proud faces Warcries raising their spirits Despising death as they rush forward Blood of the brothers drains to the ground Stirring up rage, giving the power Trampling the enemy with their feet Without fear they fight Can you hear the call of the North star Feel its longing in your heart This bound is eternal Sworn through blood At the end we will stand as one! Even if the daylight dies Our horde marches on and on If we should fall down to the ground We'll rise again and never give up! But for some it's all too much This honorable battle and bloodshed They flee like a swarm of craven rats Leaving their brothers to a certain death The last furious men They didn't fear death or pain They held up their swords and shields As winners they stood on the battlefield Can you hear the call of the North star Feel its longing in your heart This bound is eternal Sworn through blood At the end we will stand as one! Even if the daylight dies Our horde marches on and on If we should fall down to the ground We'll rise again and never give up! Run away you cowards We turn our backs on you The shame that now stains your name Will only brighten our glory Those who fight till their last breath And fall with honour Their names and deeds shall live forever Never to be forgotten No axe stayed in your weak hand No shield protected you from the blows of enemies Get out of our sight The war has no need for traitors Can you hear the call of the North star Feel its longing in your heart This bound is eternal Sworn through blood At the end we will stand as one! Even if the daylight dies Our horde marches on and on If we should fall down to the ground We'll rise again and never give up! 3. Deathbringer From The Sky High above the ground Beyond the thunderclouds A Black shade is flying alone Once so feared among men Now the legend is becoming too old But finally the horrifying truth is about to unfold Deathbringer from the Sky Hunting victims in the night Feel the terror as flames are burning bright There is... No tower as high or a cave so deep That can save you from its endless spite So bow down and face your wretched destiny A Den filled with treasures and gold No longer calms his spirit so cold Again it is time to spread the wings of doom A Growl shakes the ground Flames blind men and smoke covers the stars As he rises towards an ancient sky The era of total chaos will arrive Men shall flee in fear My name will haunt their mortal souls I'll burn their flesh and I'll crush their bones Now they shall know That every myth told is true They shall burn on my blazing gallows Deathbringer from the Sky Hunting victims in the night Feel the terror as flames are burning bright There is... No tower as high or a cave so deep That can save you from its endless spite So bow down and face your wretched destiny Your screams can't make me feel pity or regret I only feel furious hatred With fire my dominion is gained So burn away and let my kind rule the world again 4. Ahti At the time of sundown Nature bathes in colours In silence it waits For the approaching force In the halls of Ainola The true king of dark waters Lurks with his mistress And a mob of a sea creatures Under the waves of a blue lake Dwells the mighty AHTI! Sailors praise the glorious name Of the ruler of tides; AHTI! At the shores of a northern land Pray mortal men Destruction for the arrogant fools A Reward for humble souls The great lurker of the seas Is pleased of the sacrifice The waters are calm Today no storm shall rise! Under the waves of a blue lake Dwells the mighty AHTI! Sailors praise the glorious name Of the ruler of tides; AHTI! Under the waves of a blue lake Dwells the mighty AHTI! Sailors praise the glorious name Of the ruler of tides; AHTI! Foreign ship filled with infidels They didn't listen to the northern men From a dead calm storm will rise And they'll face the wrath of the sea Take care that your heir Don't turn out too proud Or your bloodline will drown Into a vast ocean... Under the waves of a blue lake Dwells the mighty AHTI! Sailors praise the glorious name Of the ruler of tides; AHTI! Under the waves of a blue lake Dwells the mighty AHTI! Sailors praise the glorious name Of the ruler of tides; AHTI! 5. One More Magic Potion Once when we were returning from a battle and We got lost in a gloomy forest in the middle of the woods we saw an old house with tired minds we knocked the door very loudly Old woman opened the wooden door She asked us to come in with kind words From her pot arose a scent so weird Stunning and bitter but very summoning Bring me a magic potion it will heal my aching wounds A taste so bitter that makes my bleeding soul feel so good It will make us sing and dance in our endless feast Or it might even unleash the beast in me She filled out pints with that devils beverage And served another round with an hideous grin The world was spinning in a new light I saw everything and everyone was singing this song With nature, trolls and the spirits of the forest We are one; let our singing rise up into the stars The witch's magic drum was still beating hard When a goblin brought me a new pint and together we roared Drink and dance! People of the forest sing with us! Who wants to brawl with me? Who can shape a kantele from a pike's jaw? Like the great one once did Close your eyes Calm your mind and drift away from the pain Beyond dreams Into the depths of the cauldron Like a rain it falls And mirrors nature's healing powers Surrender this time And relief you shall find Catcher of souls hunter of spirits Grant us the final frop of the life's elixir I want to drown all my misery Into the green trolls blood And brown swamp drink Fight against diminishing time Burden of a solitary warrior's life Catcher of souls hunter of spirits Grant us the final frop of the life's elixir Bring me a magic potion it will heal my aching wounds A taste so bitter that makes my bleeding soul feel so good It will make us sing and dance in our endless feast Or it might even unleash the beast in me 6. Wanderer In time bleeding wounds will heal Unlike some which are too deep to see Like scars in a nomads soul Their mending is so slow Not the shout of a hundred enemies Can make him feel fear inside him But when sun sets and the cold arrives With crushing solitude in the darkness of night He will ride across land and time To find a way through this endless night There's a storm in his heart and the fire burns his soul But the wanderer's part is to ride alone With bare hands he has taken many lives He has had a hundred women by his side From enchanted woods to the freezing north He is known at every sea and far beyond As the moon grows and the circle is complete He lies down and waits for sleep But there's always a scenery in his mind Of all that beauty he once left behind He will ride across land and time To find a way through this endless night There's a storm in his heart and the fire burns his soul But the wanderer's part is to ride alone He will ride across land and time To find a way through this endless night There's a storm in his heart and the fire burns his soul But the wanderer's part is to ride alone He will ride across land and time To find a way through this endless night There's a storm in his heart and the fire burns his soul But the wanderer's part is to ride alone 7. Raised By The Swords Oh, who is raised by the sword Can't be beaten Who is toughened by the fire Can't be burned Awaited by immortality Are the ones sacrificing their lives To blood, to victory, to the truth As ye saw, as shall ye reap We will turn your fields into death Shining our blades smash all down Guidance of cold winds We complete the ancient rule Each of us was created to kill Hail, the wisest ones You have walked the severe and harsh path To the almighty crown Soon the lost riddles will be solved Once and for all As the ageless earth praises your sword As ye saw, as shall ye reap We will turn your fields into death Shining our blades smash all down Guidance of cold winds We complete the ancient rule Each of us was created to kill Oh, raise the wind Oh, open up earth Oh, wild waters flood And flames burn the ruins they own Burn all and everything they own Now let your prayers fade The weak ones will meet their gruesome fate Loyal minds will not break The bold people of war Have raised to get their victory You depend on our mercy Who is raised by the sword Can't be beaten Who is toughened by the fire Can't be burned Our everlasting loyalty will never break The bold people of war Have raised their swords 8.

For our new dawn Ride! Kill them all Fight! For our new dawn Rise! And we stand tall Feel your strength and let it rise Hear the call of their demise Let them feel your steel Have faith my friend, this is not the end Our time is near, we feel your fear Because we will...

Lady In Black [Uriah Heep cover] She came to me one morning One lonely Sunday morning Her long hair flowing In the midwinter wind I know not how she found me For in darkness I was walking And destruction lay around me From a fight I could not win Ah ah ah... She asked me name my foe then I said the need within some men To fight and kill their brothers Without thought of love or God And I begged her give me horses To trample down my enemy So eager was my passion To devour this waste of life Ah ah ah... But she would not think of battle that REDUCES men to animals So easy to begin And then impossible to end For she, the mother of all men had counselled me so wisely then I feared to walk alone again And asked if she would stay Ah ah ah... Oh lady lend your hand I cried And let me rest here at your side Have faith and trust In me she said And filled my heart with life There is no strength in numbers Have no such misconception But when you need me Be assured I won't be far away Ah ah ah... Thus having spoke she turned away And though I found no words to say I stood and watched until I saw Her black cloak disappear My labor is no easier But now I know I'm not alone I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day And if one day she comes to you Drink deeply from her words so wise Take courage from her As your prize And say hello from me Ah ah ah...
