Thunder brakes the silence of the eternal night Lightning striking in the dark but no rain in sight Dust in the end Lashing the land Leaving no place to hide Visions are real The end is revealed Dryness in the high tide Dehydrated men Unknown survivors Digging for water in desert's sand Bare bones and dry winds The graves of the older And in the sun they will be burned Thunderstorm - turn the page Thunderstorm - bring the rain - end the night No mercy in the wastelands of the sun-burned world A new race in charge on human heads a reward Crying in pain Screams that remain Howling winds in the night In the ruins they hide The day is the night Sick in the dust of time Thunderstorm - turn the page Thunderstorm - bring the rain Long time ago Our planet was alive Thunderstorm - bring the rain - end the night The mighty sound of metal Fills the holy hall Eternal gods have Heard our call Blinding light Taste the sweat All to rise Their fists and yell A blaze of raging fire Burning up the air Fly up to the Dragon's lair Roaring sounds Thunder in the sky Grinding guitars Take you up so high Steelbound we are Steelbound forever we'll be There is a power - can you hear the call Steelbound forever Steelbound one stand for all Energized and charged Right down to the core Follow and obey Metal is the law Forged by the flame Hard as a rock Pure as steel A verdict of the blood We are the chosen - the very last ones Insane survivors of the final war Ripping through the ruins We are the ones Slaying the humans Till they scream for more Our hate is not a crime By the meatless bones shine... Bow your head On your knees The k**ers are here Close your eyes On your knees The d**h squad's here Serving the wargods in temples of blood On through all the dark ages of mankind The forces are with us Together as one The kingdom of pain Hate's in our minds Machines roar in the night By the sacred swords shine Frozen landscapes are covering the earth Desolation is complete Cities lie in ruins falling to decay Unrest and terror start to breed All that we had acheived - is forever gone Anarchy is reigning supreme - the forces of unlight have won Times of darkness Times of war Mankind screaming out in rage Times of violence Times of fear Welcome to the new dark age Plagues of insects sworming locust arise Scorching deserts left behind Radiation poisoning the earth Mutated creatures come alive All hope is lost - there is no return Evolution out of control - the race for survival is on Marauding soldiers militious of hate Terrorising the land k**ing and looting burning and raping Raising the place to the ground Showing no mercy for women or children Leaving no place to hide The law of the blade nothing is sacred Mankind it's own genocide Hidden in the deserts sand Forgotten for so very long Dead eyes with a secret stare To the ones they lived among Rise! From the dust of times upon Reign! With revenge and terror on Don't you break the silence From a whisper to a scream In their eyes you see the madness To reality from a dream Don't wake the dead - Leave them alone Don't wake the dead - Let them rest in peace For the evil curse - For the lives they lived Don't wake the dead - Let them rest in peace... Dirt and ashes in their eyes Crawling maggots gleaming bones They await their time to rise To ride out under bloodred skies Don't you break the old seal Leave the doorway shut and locked They return from the underworld To walk among the living now Screams of the tortured The echoes return Long forgotten cries Now they will be heard Empires gonna fall - Kingdoms turn to dust Realms gonna burn But the ancient warning calls... On wings of fire they rip through the skies Bringing on d**h from above Spreading destruction night after night A spilling of innocent blood Raging fear in the hearts of mankind An unknown force from beyond Vastly superior they meet no resistance Taking whatever they want Sacrificing human life Free us from the curse Calling unto ancient gods Praying for a release Never surrender Fight the reign of fear Better to die than to live Under the reign of fear The reign of fear Nocturnal abductors take you away To places of torment and fear Where desperate screams are never heard The odour of d**h in the air
Experimenting on human flesh Their aim is total control Mindless creatures being created Slaves without a soul Gather around human resistance Defiance burns in our hearts Destiny's calling for d**h or glory Mankind get ready for war I'm like you - You are like me Together in the cage of life Living our lives of no tomorrows Walking on the razors edge A mighty spell that keeps us alive Forced to live a life thats spent Deep in our heart it cuts like a knife The memories we've never had We shall unite Out of the shadows into the light Showing our might Blasting the sinners out of sight Burning all bridges left behind No more fears to hide Takin' the future in our stride Don't believe in lies no more Burning all bridges left behind We're the armies of the world Our freedom's call is gonna rise And we're burning - burning Burning all the bridges down This is my life - And it's yours too Implanted thoughts we must obbey Wasting our time on trails of wisdom Yet ruled by thev DNA See myself when I look in your eyes Come and share my lonely life There's no chance for your disguise You better join me to survive In the end of all time Breakin' the spell upon our minds Sunset for the eternal night Settin' the bridges on fire... Ages ago - bodies were burned In rituals of pain and blood The demon inside - the corpse has been cursed They are serving the dark lord Watching the changes of times Watching the change of the signs Chronist of the wars of the world A life that never ends No punishment for all the sins Ruler of the dark - the black lord Looking for the sins of the flesh Life without fear - there is no pain We're everywhere in space and in time The secrets we hide are arcane Tears - Tears of the damned When will I ever be free Tears - Tears of the damned Lord of blood forever chainedsteel Only the strong will survive Steel to blood - blood on steel Only one gets out alive Where is the light Where is the sun Longing for a morning dew A ray of light to come Never be free Never again Spreading the desease on and on The sound of the anthem echoes through the hall The fighters are entering the pit Lights are going down excitement starts to mount Who's gonna fall who will take the hit Eye to eye and one on one Deadly tension in the ring Blood on blood so face your fear Meet your fate - your time is here Face to face - life or d**h Challengers drawing their knifes Face to face - life or d**h Only one gets out alive Steel to blood - blood on steel Only the strong will survive Steel to blood - blood on steel Only one gets out alive Exploding muscles the crowd begins to roar Their faces expressions of war Merciless k**ers clashing in the cage Blood and sweat is dripping on the floor Fight to live and fight to k** d**h's the only referee Trapped inside the hall of pain Only one man will remain Dusty sunlight - a dirty window A broken leave lifeless on my bed A breeze has captured the final echoes Of the last words she said Gone in the morning - I'll come with the night Nothing ever changes - all remains the same Day after day - night after night Forever lost - I must remain Freeze the moment - forget your fears now Immortal souls speaking without words We share the same dream - all that you know Living our lives in different worlds Creatures of the night We are the shadows of d**h Hiding from the light We're the gods of wrath Immortal we are Sinners as we are Listen to the lonely call The call of the damned I can't see A happy ending in this world Time runs short Walking hand in hand with d**h More and more Our life is shifting to the end What can explain Why we destroy whats in our hands No mercy to be spared - For the wicked for the scared Ain't nowhere to run your fate has just begun Dreams slip away Life time in pain Only tears to fall Stabbed in the back Cought within The world of sin So ignored The warning what a waste What will it take To learn from our mistakes Is there no love Is there no love left in this world Look to the past You're on a neverending search Now that we're condemned - Now we understand Get the message clear we'll all end up in fear See the time slips through our hands buried by it's sand Much is spoken but nothing is said afraid to understand
