Killer 04:01
The beast he prowls the world of night The filthy streets lit by firelight His eyes they glint like the steel he bears Its soiled blade shines a crimson glare Don’t even try to escape Running has sealed your fate Killer! Killer! Nothing is safe even you Killer! Killer! Just one mistake and you're through Killer! Killer! No one escapes his knife Now say goodbye to your life In shadowed alcoves his victims lie Through every alley echo their cries Yet no aid comes none dare to halt This greatest terror they've ever felt The city a forest, it's men the deer He is a wolf his goal is clear Not fogged by morals, never dimmed by fear It is his nature, his reign is here
2.
Is he man or beast? Crimson robe his fangs concealed, Is he the high priest, Or former slave his strength revealed? Clad all in red To his figure you’d yield A glimpse of his head Evil creature now unleashed Do you see the ivory tower? Can you see the high priest’s lair? Do you fear the dungeons filled with horrors, No escape from the Scarlet citadel Scarlet Citadel, Where evil dwells, Where magick reigns And death awaits ​Underneath his hood See the eyes that stand with flame Driven out the good Evil creature he became You hear his cry Glance upon his claws of death You're doomed to die As you draw your final breath
3.
On grandmaster's orders The traitor must die Ravenwings carry The cross as we fly Towards the east Our lances align The heathens to fight Black is our sign! Down, Down with the King Cut of the head of the tyrant and war shall end Down, Down with the King Cut of the head of the tyrant And save us from madness! Once our ally We stand betrayed On the field of battle We shall reign Conquer these forests Make them kneel Brothers wielding Teutonic Steel!

Witchfinder 06:42
Deep inside his sacred lair, The sinner cries the devils lies, With flaming metal in his hands, Another bows to his demands A rancid city, a peaceful town, The plague of heresy soaks them all Wherever he rides they will be found Judgement awaits on hallowed ground Fire of the Witchfinder Burning all the the liars Heathen witch Burn in the fire He comes unexpected out of the night Another victim is set alight An inquisition of fire and steel The devils tune only he can hear The fire it burns like his heart within Cleansing those not free from sin False accusations the witness bears To speak against him nobody dares Witchfinder come To burn the sin away Witchfinder come The fires of hell await
5.
Alesia Falls 03:45
A black sky, clouded, The still air a canvas, A torchlight flares, an orange tear, The canvas ripped by a threat, The horseman cries in Latin, And though we can't understand him, An army appears, our doom is clear, Our city is under siege Alesia falls! Our army is the greater, The might of united Gaul. Yet under Caesar's brutal fist, We've seen all our cities fall. We've 80 000 swords to feed, The Romans merely wait. The weak are thrown outside the gates, Women and children first! Is this a weakness is the Roman line, The gates open and we raise a cry, Downhill to charge before the sun will rise. Until midnight the battle flares, Cavalry surrounds us, our courage fades, The Gauls flee we face defeat
6.
Echoing from the mountain slopes His shadow looming large, Darkening the sun, The Keeper has come, Your final moments have begun. Feathers cutting through the air, The mighty eagle gold and fair, With rapid speed he comes at you, Like a lightning bolt he flew He’s the hunter you’re the prey, Death awaits, you turn to clay, Traitors and liars are his aim, He’s here, his share to claim Beware the Crystal Talon! Beware the Scythe of steel! Guardian of the Valley, Guardian of the Kings He’s the lion of the winds, The tiger lurking in the mists, No shadow will escape his eye, It’s too late when you hear his cry His shade shows on the crimson sky, From the rocks echoes your last sigh The setting sun illuminates, Broken bones and shattered dreams Mighty raptor spread your wings!
7.
My people swept across the steppes of Scythia, the deep forests of Dacia Along the shores of the Danube An empire like never seen before Or heard of since A continent united Under ten thousand golden hoofs I’m a king, a savage a warlord I rule with an iron hand I rule with faith, heart and steel I’m a king, a savage a warlord I rule forever A conqueror for eternity Samogotian plains Villages set ablaze Noone in our way To halt our march Tyrant clad in black You hear my warcry I shall crush you There can be only one

Dunsinane 08:02
Searching for the newborn king Heir to a blood drenched throne Through glens and snow they ride on Relentless but alone A kingdom in despair and sorrow No glory no reward In fens and woods they fight on Until the last sword The king has been usurped, The tyrant has been killed, With iron fist and flaming sword , Order has been restored​ One last hope remains in Alba The tyrant's heir is yet alive One last torch of hope and light A never ending fight A land of snow and ice No sunlight or air On the hills and into brooks Broken lances fell​ The tyrants banner flew A decade proud and tall The invaders came at dawn And peace was forlorn Plucked Alba's crown from her head Crushed her laurels, burned the blossom Torn the rose from the vine To Dunsinane!
