Oathstone 06:11
lyrics

Greenskin tribes prepare for war! Goblin, Troll, Snotling, Orc! From the mountains at world’s edge To claim every Dwarven head! Endless numbers, countless hordes A forest of spears, a sea of swords… The Dwarves prepare their strongholds Seal the tunnels, close the doors! One by one the Holds all fall No songs of yore are sung in Hall No mines are delved, no masons build No runes are carved on blade or hilt… The Oathstone! Hold at all costs! By Oathstone! Stand as one and fight together! On Oathstone! This is where I die! Our Oathstones! Sealed in blood for all we’ve lost! Spears and swords pierce my body! An axe crushes my skull! Arrows rip through my armor! Soon I’ll be food for crows… Our last stand on the Oathstone! We bleed for ancient Gods! Not one step taken backwards! Lock shields! Prepare for charge! The Oathstone! Hold at all costs! By Oathstone! Stand as one and fight together! On Oathstone! This is where I die! Our Oathstones! Sealed in blood for all we’ve lost! They know they are the last, there will be no more sons Should they break their lines, the fall of all they love The Gods look down upon them, all they can do is weep Their flesh and souls devoured by Trolls and creatures from the deep Warriors form a ring, surrounding their great Thane Singing songs of hearth and home, death, glory, and fate! Memories of the mountains, proud, tall, and strong Lost to the Ages, the last kingdom falls… Walls are breached and gates are crushed Flesh is hewn and gored on tusks The shieldwall breaks to hulking foes Trolls of River, Hill and Stone Dwarven lines now no more A feast for the Gods: Mischief and War! The final guardians lay slain Defiant to the last, the Thane remains He grips his axe, he locks his shield He will never submit, surrender or yield He hears the call of his Fathers on high He charges in with his final warcry! The Oathstone! Hold at all costs! By Oathstone! Stand as one and fight together! On Oathstone! This is where I die! Our Oathstones! Sealed in blood for all we’ve lost! Spears and swords pierce my body! An axe crushes my skull! Arrows rip through my armor! Soon I’ll be food for crows… Our last stand on the Oathstone! We bleed for ancient Gods! Not one step taken backwards! Lock shields! Prepare for charge! The Oathstone! Hold at all costs! By Oathstone! Stand as one and fight together! On Oathstone! This is where I die! Our Oathstones! Sealed in blood for all we’ve lost! Watching as he falls, the Queen and her young son Fleeing through secret tunnels, their people on the run The last vision they see, the death of a Thane Ripped apart and eaten as he cries out their names Ancient Halls are plundered, defiled ancestral hoards Effigies of carrion dung, tormented flesh of Lords The mountains are aflame, and made of broken bones The end of elder days, Blood on the Oathstone…

Ice Mammoth 07:59

In a time now long ago, A frozen age of ice and snow Across the tundra and steppes, he roams, In the glacial mountains he makes his home Titan, Mammoth, Behemoth, Colossal Beast, Armored and Tusked Khan of the Steppes, Arctic King, Lord of the Tundra, Ruler of the Peaks Trumpet sounds, rocks come down Pounding snow, cold winds blow Sheets of ice, piercing cries Frosted hide, slow demise! Avalanche, one last gasp Glacial tomb, frozen doom Swallowed whole by winter's maw Mammuthus awaits the thaw! Centuries pass still buried under snow, Glaciers move down ever so slow Preserved in tact under permafrost, Frozen in time his rage never lost Barbarian tribe, Neanderthals, Hunting in the pass, find the frozen God Primitive minds, cower in awe, Fall and worship the Ice Mammoth! Brave the ice and cold and frost, sacrifice to Mammuthus Bring them forth tide in a row, rival tribe Cro-Magnon Foe Place their heads upon the stone, smash with clubs breaking through bone Ground now slick with brains and gore, Mammoth stirs, shatters ice with roar! Freed from the Ages, he opens his eyes, seeing the world once more Thawing power, ancient bones move, trapped in time no more Rise of the Mammoth, shatters his cage, bellowed hate to the skies! Titanic hunger, strange humanoids, a feast from their demise! Tribe now dead and crushed, Broken bodies impaled on tusks Engorged on flesh, blood and bone, Mammoth again is free to roam Frozen world of ice his domain, Roams the tundras and frozen plains Nomadic beast, Tyrant of Cold, God of War, Ice, and Snow! Stomp and smash and bellow and crush, Trample, and pummel and pound them to dust Fury, rage, primordial hate, Epic mass reduce all to paste Slumbering giant asleep no more, Ascends his throne Demi-God of Gore Tribe now flees to escape his wrath, Avalanche of rage, death in the pass Grab their spears and atlatls, attempt to fight the Mountain God Thawed by the Sun, awoke by its rays, Missiles and spears attract his gaze! Mammuthus! Freed by the Thaw! Frozen God! The Ice Mammoth! Carnivorous! Behemoth! Frozen God! The Ice Mammoth! Brave the ice and cold and frost, sacrifice to Mammuthus Bring them forth tide in a row, rival tribe Cro-Magnon Foe Place their heads upon the stone, smash with clubs breaking through bone Ground now slick with brains and gore, Mammoth stirs, shatters ice with roar! Freed from the Ages, he opens his eyes, seeing the world once more Thawing power, ancient bones move, trapped in time no more Rise of the Mammoth, shatters his cage, bellowed hate to the skies! Titanic hunger, strange humanoids, a feast from their demise! Tribe now dead and crushed, Broken bodies impaled on tusks Engorged on flesh, blood and bone, Mammoth again is free to roam Frozen world of ice his domain, Roams the tundras and frozen plains Nomadic beast, Tyrant of Cold, God of War, Ice, and Snow!

In forgotten Elder Days, Before time of Northern Waste Polar Gates come crashing down, Chaos now vies for the crown Corrupting magiks infect the land, Merging mind of Beast and Man Mutilate, Transform, Reborn, Mutated life now given form Crooked horns burst out from skull Shaping and breaking of bones Tusks and hooves and teeth of dog Gnarled hide and gaping maw Eyes so filled with primal hate Destroy all that Man creates Muscles surge, spines burst through skin The first of the Beastkin Warping power, cursed winds Antlers, Tusks and Tails and Fins What once walked proud is now cast down Slithers, swarms, and crawls on ground Evolved life form, now no more Back to Beast with hate and horn Mound of flesh, Chaos Spawn Beaks and limbs, To Devolve Ascendance of the Four, Nature now at war Tearing through reality, Chaos reigns eternally Warping power, cursed winds Antlers, Tusks and Tails and Fins What once walked proud is now cast down Slithers, swarms, and crawls on ground Evolved life form, now no more Back to Beast with hate and horn Mound of flesh, Chaos Spawn Beaks and limbs, To Devolve Crooked horns burst out from skull Shaping and breaking of bones Tusks and hooves and teeth of dog Gnarled hide and gaping maw Eyes so filled with primal hate Destroy all that Man creates Muscles surge, spines burst through skin The first of the Beastkin In forgotten Elder Days, Before time of Northern Waste Polar Gates come crashing down, Chaos now vies for the crown Corrupting magiks infect the land, Merging mind of Beast and Man Mutilate, Transform, Reborn, Mutated life now given form Unnatural life, given form Created corruption by Brothers Four Hate, Pleasure, Decay, Change Slaughter, Engorge, Whither, Mutate! Bones crack, sinews snap, Flesh torn, Crooked Horns Muscles rip, clawed grip, fangs protrude, mind becomes crude Legs distend, backwards bend, Poisoned Talons, Maim and Rend Instinct, Primal, Savage, Bestial To Devolve, Chaos Spawn, Primordial, To Devolve!

In the frozen north, In the land of Trolls High up in the mountains amongst the ice and snow There dwelt the one, warrior born Trollish Tyrant, Drunken Overlord! There his quest began, His saga unfurled To seek the mightiest of brews, To drink dry the whole world! The plunder from his raids, No longer cast its spells Consumed himself sober, From his drunken throne he fell His journey begins... His axe and flagon in hand! In the search of ultimate booze To conquer every land! Southwards first to lands of men, Plumed and piked Holy Romans Famed for their beercraft skills, Hefeweizens, Lagers, Pils Smash through breweries, taverns, towns, Drinking, drinking, going down No effect, sober haze, Eternal hungover rage! Slavic lands to South and East, Prosit, Nazdrowe, Zivjeli! Rakija Slivovitsa, On pije pivo I wodka! Balkans, Baltics, Poles and Rus, Fell before his quest for booze Consume, swallow, slosh and swill, So many dead, yet sober still! Nothing in the Olde World remained, Its alcoholic stores were drained Kingdoms smashed, castles torn down, He drank where others would have drowned Still he was not drunk enough, His quest required stronger stuff But where to sack? Where to sail? Where could be found the strongest ale?? He heard! Rumors from the East! Of drink and magik yeast! ‘Cross the steppes to the Great Wall! The Celestial Kingdom would fall! Black powder, Alchemy, Were no match for his drunk fury Scorpion wine, beer of rice, Strong enough, yet none sufficed Art, Science, Philosophy, All he desired, the distillery Teachings from ancient scribes, Smashed and broken, Ale or Die!! Words of wisdom on deaf ears, Primordial need to drink beer Dragon temples brought to dust, Engorge, consume, violence, lust Nothing remained in his wake, Genocidal quest for drink Conquered lands of Orient, Inebriated rage not spent Over mountains down to jungle, intoxication from source fungal Follow the path, cradle of life, nothing but desert and strife Continue on where Kings remain, Ancient tombs and beer of grain Tales of a New World, For the quest, westward sail! Across! The Ocean's mighty waves! He sailed unto his fate! His quest for drunkenness! Would lead unto his death! Plunder upon the Spanish Main, New alcohol from sugar cane Rum, syrup, liquor sweet, Distilled and emptied at his feet Upwards on to land Central, Cervezas, Tequila Agave juice, no equal, Pure pain, no recall… Into the lands called 'Mericae, Kings of the IPA Malt, Hops, so extreme, Waters pure from mountain streams Singles, Doubles, Triples, Quad, Stronger, stronger, not enough! Continents brought to heel, All for the quest for beer!! Searched the world, nothing found, Northward sail, homeward bound Emerald Isle found in the mist, Already hammered! Let’s get pissed! On to the Scots, a wee quick halt, Whiskeys, Bourbons, Brandys, Malts Engle-Saxons and their Ciders only enrage the drunken fighter! Back to North, his Dragonship roamed Returning with beers, liquor and gold His Quest seemed failed, sober his fate Smashing his plunder with bleary eyed hate The liquid spills down, into his horn A magic elixir intoxicately born He raises his prize up to his eyes The ultimate drink is realized! He takes a swig, He forces it down! The broth flows through, Victory is found! Now so drunk, he cannot stand! Poisonous elixir from his own hand! Clogging filth, creeping through his veins! Vomits up his life, the Troll dies in pain...

Valkyria 07:53
lyrics

Our backs to the wall, One by one our comrades fall Soon only I and her, A ring of foes draws in closer Swords, spears, forward thrust, Axe bites shield as bone is crushed Wounded, bloodied, beaten, maimed, Show no fear, show no pain We stand tall, side by side, Her and I not afraid to die One last glance, a firm embrace, No words needed, charge towards our fate Smash their lines, break their bones, Impale their flesh, their blood runs cold They begin to break, their courage fails, Victory in sight, we may prevail Archers appear behind their ranks Drawing their arrows aiming for our flanks Let loose their volleys, a rain of death I see her fall, I hear her last breath I raise my head and scream to the sky My One, My Queen, My Beloved, My I I rush to her body, now pale and cold Blood gushing forth from her many wounds My mind is torn, my heart ripped apart Her once bright eyes, now dead and dark Yet her face was neither enraged nor grim ‘Twas calm, peaceful, with the slightest grin As if she knew what would await Over the Bridge and through the Gates In Hall on high, Before the Gods Oh, my Valkyria!! Oh, Valkyrie I know you’ll be, And fairer there could never be! Of all of those who have gone before, beyond the stars and through the door! The memories come back to me, of Her and I and what used to be! Our love so strong, our fire bright, my Warrior Queen, her Champion I! Berserker rage takes over my sword I charge through their lines, smash through their hordes Break through their shields, cleave through their skulls Hack through their mail, 'til my blade is dull Pierced by their blades and many arrows I finally fall, succumbed to my foes She returns from Hall on High Armored and winged, my Valkyria!! I see my body on the ground, covered in blood and gore I fought on to the last, I grip my broken sword I see my tattered bloody corpse, rising through the sky In her arms she carries me, to Golden Hall on High Now we fight forever, Battles in the sky Her and I together, My Valkyria!!

Lock in step and form in line Pikes up front archers behind Foes so vast, never seen before This is our death march to war! Advancing over blood-soaked fields With grim resolve we will not yield Slow and steady towards our fate O’er fallen brothers, keep our pace! Banners wave under the morning sun None will be alive when this day is done Horns are blown, Orders to charge This is our death march! As we approach we see their lines Spears are long, and guns are primed Face their cannons, thundering roar Ripped through ranks, pink mist and gore Still we advance though many drop Skewered and maimed by pike and shot Their earthworks high, ground chosen well Our final charge leads us to Hell Only a few of us remain Foes on ramparts of the slain We march over corpses ripped and torn Victory impossible, a hope forlorn Our standard falls our Lord’s lost his head The rest of us now dying or dead All is quiet, no sounds of war No screams and steel, no cannons roar Banners wave under the morning sun None will be alive when this day is done Horns are blown, Orders to charge This is our death march!

Silver Tower 04:52
lyrics

Enter to the tavern, same night as before Sitting round the table, a band of heroes four Warrior, Archer, Mage and Thief dividing up their loot A Halfling band plays merry songs on pipes, whistles and flutes Approached by a stranger, a dark cloak and deep hood Tells them of a Tower, beyond the Spiderwood Made of purest Silver, standing tall and bright Guarded by a Chaos Mage, illusion and dark light The party looks around, they share a wicked grin “That wizard is as good as dead! We’ll claim the hoard within!” The stranger slowly laughs, “The map for some gold…” Coins are placed in his hands; their fates have now been sold… The Warrior! Brave, strong and bold! The Archer! Master of the bow! The Mage! Casting arcane spells! The Thief! Traps and locks as well! They set off at first light, heads still fogged with ale As they approach the Spiderwood, the light turns sick and pale They plunge into the dark, the boughs block out the sun Fight their way through eight-legged foes, they slay the Spider God! Emerge on other side, woods now left behind Above them stand the Frozen Peaks, mountains older than time They scale the icy stone, attacked by many foes The mountains soon are raining blood as red melts from the snow The Warrior! Brave, strong and bold! The Archer! Master of the bow! The Mage! Casting arcane spells! The Thief! Traps and locks as well! Down into the valley, the Tower stands alone A shinning spear of Silver with a moat of bones The stranger reappears, he offers them advice… “Beware the sorcerer’s minions, both of magik and might!” As if it heard his words, a creature forms from none Crystal skulls and shimmering scales, many faces turn to one The construct is destroyed, its magiks are no more From the mirrored shards appears the Tower’s hidden door… They clear the lower Halls, navigate the changing maze At the labyrinth’s center, the lair of the Chaos mage The party charges in with swords and spells and bow! There on the alter, the stranger stands alone… The Warrior! Brave, strong and bold! The Archer! Master of the bow! The Mage! Casting arcane spells! The Thief! Traps and locks as well! The Warrior! Cast down into stone! The Archer! Pierced by her own arrows! The Mage! Mind has been erased! The Thief! Forever trapped in this place!

Forged by Elven smiths, in forgotten Age Ruins are carved on the hilt, giving it its name Glamdring the Foehammer! The Hammer of the Orcs! Shinning bright when foes draw near, a light in the dark Crafted for an Elven King, the Lord of Gondolin A means to protect the Kingdom, to pass from kin to kin Lost in the War of Wrath, the Hidden Realm no more Found by the one called Grey in Trollish treasure horde! Sword! Jewel and Blade! Found in a cave! Guarded by Trolls! Meat! Fire and Heat! Play to their greed! Curious Dwarves! Quiet! Send the thief in! Burglar Baggins! To burgle their stores! Caught! Tied in a sack! To make a great snack! Maybe there's more! Bert! William and Tom! Fight for so long! Not seeing the sun! The morning it came so soon! The light is your doom! Down to the valley, known as Rivendell Consort Master Elrond to see what the runes tell Taken by the Grey, Along with Sister blade Glamdring and Orcrist their Sindarin names! Alongside a dagger, equal in fame In the hands of a Hobbit, Sting Spider's Bane! Up into the mountains, over and down Ambushed in the pass, down down to Goblin Town! Court of the Goblin King brought forth in chains! Recognize the Oakenshield, last son of Thrain! Wields a cursed blade, Beater as it's known Enraged and full of anger the King leaps off his throne Stop! Cries a voice, blade shinning bright Goblins cower down in fear frozen in fright... Er! I know that sword! It's the Foehammer! Slice! End the King's life! Glowing blue light now turning white! War! Like never before! Five different hordes! Storm Erebor! Fate! The Ring of Hate! Secret and Safe! Through Goblin gate! Gloom! Shadow and Doom! Durin's bane! Fly you fools! Forged by Elven smiths, in forgotten Age Ruins are carved on the hilt, giving it its name Glamdring the Foehammer! The Hammer of the Orcs! Shinning bright when foes draw near, a light in the dark The Foehammer! A blade of light, strength and valor The sword of a King, the Foehammer! A light in the black, in darkest hour The blade lost now found, the Foehammer! A weapon of hope, glory, honor A power long gone, the Foehammer! The bane of Troll, Goblin, and Orc Glamdring its name, the Foehammer! The Foehammer!
