Bust down the doors and we storm to the night Bring forth the revolution with our metal might Trash all the wannabes for holding us BACK Breaking the trends WITH OUR VICIOUS ATTACK Standing up, against the odds IT’S TIME TO ROLL The fire ignites, as we hit the stage WE TAKE CONTROL CONTROL WE TAKE CONTROL CONTROL Go for the kill as we take down our foes Ripping and tearing cus everything goes We speak for the generation you left BEHIND Bring back the era OF WESTERN DECLINE Standing up, against the odds IT’S TIME TO ROLL The fire ignites, as we hit the stage WE TAKE CONTROL CONTROL WE TAKE CONTROL CONTROL Bust down the doors and we storm to the night Bring forth the revolution with our metal might Trash all the wannabes for holding us BACK Breaking the trends WITH OUR VICIOUS ATTACK (Chorus) Lyrics: Lundmark

Zed 03:16
Infestation spreads across the land We fear the dead and the evil of man Fight for freedom and a way to survive With brass and steel we defend our lives We’ve gone through HORDES of the bodies damned Rations and resources are in demand Never escaping from the horror we find Unleash the fury HELD WITHIN OUR MINDS Fight for POWER For CONTROL Fight the SAVIORS, make them pay what they stole Throw the BODIES In the SANDS Lead the way to the new era of man Fight for POWER For CONTROL Fight the SAVIORS, make them pay what they stole Throw the BODIES In the SANDS Lead the way to the new era of man Choking panic as the cities burn Gnashing teeth lurk at every turn Endlessly hunted, we beware of the bite Undead creatures stalking in the night One by one our numbers start SHRINK No peace, no rest, pushing to the brink Trapped in this nightmare I could never survive Screaming in pain AS I AM EATEN ALIVE (Chorus) It’s time to roll! Lyrics: Lundmark, Rado

Peasants gather on vile streets, beneath the blackened sky Seeking their own kind of vengeance Freedom was a lie Bringing down authority, so justice can be served Tyrants reigning on others labor Will lose what they preserved There’s no more for you to take Laws of man are mine to break Emerge Baptized In Fire Emerge Baptized In Fire Illusions of integrity oppress the will to fight Desecrate the work of men who Dream of equal right Waiting for the final day when judgement will arrive Sentencing all men who hindered Our means to survive There’s no more for you to take Laws of man are mine to break (Chorus) Lyrics: Lundmark

Lust for combat bestowed at birth Blade of my father, one with the earth They came for slaughter and the Riddle of Steel Consumed by vengeance I was chained to the wheel Years of torment, the life of a slave Beaten and broken, denying the grave Crushing my enemies, honing my skill Learning to bend the blade to my will CREATOR Of everything that you know DESTROYER Of all the life you've been shown WELLSPRING The essence from which you flow THULSA Reaping the Doom I will sow Blinded by hatred, emboldened by quest The bones of my kindred laid to rest Trapped like a rat in the pit of the snake By Wizards warning do I awake Lair of the serpent, my sigil of pain Power and magic, our fight was in vain Finally succumbing to the sorcerer’s might Now they will learn why they fear the night (Chorus) (CROM chant) Cursing my God I take up the blade Flexing my power as blood is repaid Cleaving the head with a single swing Reclaiming my throne, barbarian king (CROM chant) Lyrics: Rado

Antietam 05:53
Twenty-two thousand men in one day Twenty-two thousand souls on their way So many lives cut down in their prime Cruelty of man is swallowed by time Today is the day, we march to the front This is our time, we continue the hunt Shots will fly and the bodies will drag We fight for our lives, and to honor the flag Antietam Eternally our souls will dwell Antietam Marching to the gates of hell Dawn approaches, we launch the attack Sweeping the field, Confederates falling back Powder burns as guns recoil Forever melding the flesh with the soil Today is the day, we march to the front This is our time, we continue the hunt Shots will fly and the bodies will drag We fight for our lives, and to honor the flag Antietam Eternally our souls will dwell Antietam Marching to the gates of hell Twenty-two thousand men in one day Twenty-two thousand souls on their way Followed their orders and it brought them dismay They’re all here to stay Antietam Twenty-two thousand men in one day Twenty-two thousand souls on their way Followed their orders and it brought them dismay They’re all here to stay Antietam They were outnumbered two to one Never stopped until the chaos was done Long forgotten when we buried the dead But never forgotten was the blood that they shed (Chorus) Lyrics: Lundmark

Drifter 04:42
Burning through injected fuel Across the wasted land Past defiled by acts so cruel Power in my hand Anarchy is time’s rebirth Primitive rule plaguing the earth Left behind a shattered life A memory to defend Brings his hate upon the world Survive until the end Feel the metal grind Heavy metal nightmare Petrol we dig to find No more life to spare No life Burn them Nomad Wasteland WEZ Death race Captain Feral Flesh god Plot to help the destitute To free them from the horde Bringing out their source of life In secret they have stored Anarchy is time’s rebirth Primitive rule plaguing the earth Left behind a shattered life A memory to defend Brings his hate upon the world Survive until the end Feel the metal grind Heavy metal nightmare Petrol we dig to find No more life to spare No life Burn them Nomad Wasteland WEZ Death race Captain Feral Flesh god Pushing through the barricade Distracting the attack Left behind this place of siege Never looking back Anarchy is time’s rebirth Primitive rule plaguing the earth Left behind a shattered life A memory to defend Brings his hate upon the world Survive until the end (Chorus) Mad Max Lyrics: Lundmark, Rado

Under Attack 04:22
Sirens cut through the air Calling our men to arms Then death turns his stare A large fleet of metal swarms Calling all fighters and pilots TO TAKE TO THE SKY Losing our strongholds as people CONTINUE TO DIE Explosions that turn things to rubble BEFORE YOUR EYES Hundreds to go, this just might be your last words We're UNDER ATTACK UNDER ATTACK And there's NO TURNING BACK Under ATTACK Cut down the birds of steel Assault for most control The rush of fear you feel As the darkness takes your soul Calling all fighters and pilots TO TAKE TO THE SKY Losing our strongholds as people CONTINUE TO DIE Explosions that turn things to rubble BEFORE YOUR EYES Hundreds to go, this just might be your last words We're UNDER ATTACK UNDER ATTACK And there's NO TURNING BACK Under ATTACK A burst cuts through the shield Spiral to the unknown Eject, escape the field Left to return alone Calling all fighters and pilots TO TAKE TO THE SKY Losing our strongholds as people CONTINUE TO DIE Explosions that turn things to rubble BEFORE YOUR EYES Hundreds to go, this just might be your last words (Chorus) Lyrics: Lundmark

Haze of smoke, steel sings At the point of a saber, we fight the kings Each prize could be my last Destined to die before the mast She calls you home The sea Into your bones She seeps Queen Anne’s Revenge Forty guns Evils ascent The skull A sight of fear we hunt our prey Striking the colors as their hopes decay Death on the wind, caught high the sails crack Closing in, we raise the black Raise the black Drifting down, draw my last breath The taste of salt, the kiss of death Churning grave, swallowed whole Davy Jones claims another soul She calls you home The sea Into your bones She seeps Queen Anne’s Revenge Forty guns Evils ascent The skull (Chorus) Lyrics: Rado

Luxury 05:24
You make your living off a poor man's work You run their lives while they go berserk Your profits grow as does your greed and it feeds into your ego You shake a hand and you cut a throat You smile in silence cus their life's a joke Your crooked ethics write your check for your next black enterprise What is this quality of LIFE Corruption fueled by the endless search for lavish wealth You carve this world with a gluttonous KNIFE Unyielding sense of narcissistic self-indulgence But when you're gone where will all this go? Were you a person they'd be proud to know? The dead will tell you, only then it shows that... You can't bring your luxuries But when you're gone where will all this go? Were you a person they'd be proud to know? The dead will tell you, only then it shows that... You can't bring your luxuries You cut the funding for your workers health You make no effort for the commonwealth Your only motive is capital gains and it maims your sense of life's worth You line your pockets with your workers' plight Your business model is your own delight Your never-ending quest for the next best way to strip humanity What is this quality of LIFE Corruption fueled by the endless search for lavish wealth. You carve this world with a gluttonous KNIFE Unyielding sense of narcissistic self-indulgence But when you're gone where will all this go? Were you a person they'd be proud to know? The dead will tell you, only then it shows that... You can't bring your luxuries But when you're gone where will all this go? Were you a person they'd be proud to know? The dead will tell you, only then it shows that... You can't bring your luxuries In this world life comes and goes The weakest link will set you back Give your life and sign my contract Your mortality's a risk to assess Cut your tax for deeper growth You take the money for your own lifestyle This mentality has to go For the people to bring themselves back Lyrics: Lundmark
