His arcane powers Unsurpassed in this realm. Hundreds will die For his eternal life. The weak will suffer So his strength will go on Your fear feeds him The ritual begins Hollow vessel Lifeless eyes Immortality Through Sacrifice The flesh will rot The bones may break Their lives made this Abomination It cannot die It feeds on life Forever it will torment us The ritual complete Hollow vessel Lifeless eyes Immortality Through Sacrifice

Dragonfall 06:33
After four decades of death, war and wrath Uncountable hordes break (break) Orcs slain by the thousands, wolves die by the pack The last of the Balrogs falls (falls) I shall die before I allow the light’s Forces to win the day (day) It ends not like this, if victory lies beyond me They shall join me in death (death) Rise from the pits, beasts on wing Ruin on high, and death they bring Thunder and lightning, a tempest of fire The Elves cry in pain, a beautiful choir Great Rushing Jaws, defending my palace An onslaught of claws, a maelstrom of malice Drive them now back, with Envy and Hate Proud dragon lord, hold Angband’s gate These long forty years, this brutality Now shall end in fire (fire) Vast wings paint the sky, span the mountainside Burn the light to ash (ash) All fall to the dark, all shall know their place Witness the death of grace (grace) Ship rides on the wind, dawn brings their last hope Earendil’s White Flame! (flame) On the horizon, gleams faint light One final hope, a star so bright Parting the clouds, feather and sail The Mariner comes, and light shall prevail Ceaseless its roar, endless its hate Thrashing in vain, defying its fate Great titan falls to the Flame never dim And shatters the spine of Thangorodrim

Gnashing teeth and bloody swords You can’t escape the horde! Monstrous ancient force The light cannot survive! The goblin armies cannot yield Merciless killing fields! Broken hearts and shattered spines Madness takes our minds! Madness Takes our Minds! We fight, until we die Fight to see the goblin king rise! We fight, until none survive Conquer all land under the sky! The flame of life fades and dies Shades of death in us reside. Die or kneel to our lord No sanctuary! Darkness can’t be tamed Fight until nothing remains! Killing friend and foe alike, Chaos incarnate! Chaos Incarnate We fight, until we die Fight to see the goblin king rise! We fight, until none survive Conquer all land under the sky! On the field of battle we stand Goblin hordes conquered the land Terror takes their hearts Succumb to bloodthirst As the shadows grow in length Darkness gives us strength There is no hope for men Extinction Imminent

Safe within, their mountain home, too deep they delved, and awoke the nameless fear, They know not what, they have found, their own demise, their lord’s bane And so this mine, is now a tomb Five thousand years since it last fed, Dig deep defile it’s slumber They shall breathe their last breath They will know their death The mountain is lost to flame Shadow envelopes a proud legacy Timeless, immortal, uncountable slain, Fire for flesh, unholy name, a creature of pain Of this world, but not this age, awakened fiend, unfathomed rage Ashen bone, and searing whip, no home in light of day Wanderers lost, venturing far from home, Through friendly door to threatening hole, Fire in the depths losing friends of old, Flight shall find you free, but not for those who fell Timeless, immortal, uncountable slain, Fire for flesh, unholy name, a creature of pain Of this world, but not this age, awakened fiend, unfathomed rage Ashen bone, and searing whip, no home in light of day Demon’s sword burn bright, Turned in white flame The fiend falls not alone, Cold enough to freeze blood Still the fiend burns The wizard strikes felling a mighty foe Wizard’s demise High atop the mountain path From the peak they plunge And so both breathe their last Hope not lost, for he that fell Sent back to the world, A story left to tell.

Fall to Me 06:12
I awaken From this slumber I weep For your souls Succumb to me For I have seen Civilizations Crumble Before my will Before my wrath I shall have Everything you know! We stand in awe, in fear You will know suffering We fight. Bow to me! All will be my domain We stand in awe, in fear We fight. Bow down to me! This reality For me to shape So simple now You will bow Or die I control all you perceive I bid you farewell From this realm! We stand in awe, in fear You will know suffering We fight. Fall to me! All will be my domain We stand in awe, in fear We fight. Fall unto me! Annihilation The only option For the heathens Who oppose my will My Wrath My Wrath I weep, For your souls.

Mindslayer 04:44
This nightmare complete By my blade this monster does fall I shall reclaim this land for all The people are free for I have prevailed Never ending Nightmare, This Undying horror From Regail (from regail), to remain (to remain) Far from here (far from here), Unknowing Pain Twisting vines, on familiar paths I cannot find where I was last Forgotten purpose Never ending Nightmare, This Undying horror Knowing pain (knowing pain), Found here again (found here again) Death remains (death remains), Thus ends the tale. Finding pain, blinding and lost The feel the feeling of life exhales Breath By Breath

From the skies we will smite the Elves from Middle Earth And as we fly our battle cry damns them to unbirth Domination is assured as the fire from our eyes The fall of a city we’ve long sought becomes imminent On dragons we ride To burn the Elves from history On dragons we ride And Balrogath know victory On dragons we ride On dragons we ride to victory As darkness falls and flames burn bright From maws of death and pain Shining swords and elven might could not hold back the beast So long as Elven kind breathes they will not know peace On dragons we ride To burn the Elves from history On dragons we ride And Balrogath know victory On dragons we ride On dragons we ride to victory Spilled royal blood To save the rest Rise to the challenge None can best On dragons we ride To burn the Elves from history On dragons we ride And Balrogath know victory On dragons we ride On dragons we ride to victory In the city’s final hours A beaten king still stands Charging forth disarmed, distressed Waters of the king bring death

Storm Ruler 12:07
Lord of a dead flame Rest in his profaned city Demons of stone, Witches of blood Protect his dark throne And so it comes to this Subjugated, enslaved. Monstrous form, Warriors heart, Proves his valor. Defender, Guardian. Standing alone. Earns his freedom, with his blood. Unbeaten, Unbroken. Taking the crown. A heavy burden, fate is cruel. Why trust a monster To be a lord of men. Entrusts the sword To friend and rival If madness takes him And so it comes to this Only the storm shall slay the giant Flame of life, fading low. Warriors mind. Monster’s heart, proves his vice. Defender, no longer. Love is lost. Earns his vengeance with their blood. Unbeaten, now broken. Corrupting flame. Slayer of men; Fate’s cruel joke. And so it comes to this A grim vow to uphold. An old friend turned foe. Only the storm shall slay the giant. My grave task Wield the storm Battle joins, blood flows. Vicious storm. Monster’s heart, proves his might Murderer, unchained. Standing alone. Earns his glory\ with blood. Now beaten, tears flow. The storm dies. The giant breath, No more. Lord of the dead flame, rests in peace, ash. Bonds of blood, vows unbroken. Long may the sun shine Now beaten, and broken, tears flow. For friends lost, long may the sun shine.
