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
