find a way back home

We seek our destiny in thee
In the eye of the storm
A genesis is born, reborn

Riders of the storm - one with the wind, defenders of creation
Riders of the storm - aligned with the sun

Phantom powers rule the earth
Descending down, controling you and me
What is left to see, is it all but a dream

On the inside looking out
Kept within a cage, behind a false facade
They can't keep us down cause our strenght is our will

We dream of a genesis reborn
Where our spirits fly free
Let us choose our own destiny

Riders of the storm - one with the wind, defenders of creation
Riders of the storm - aligned with the sun

Speak the word of Nemesis
Call for thunder call for rain
Let us meet our Genesis
Save us from the unholy pain

Riders of the storm - one with the wind, defenders of creation
Riders of the storm - aligned with the sun


3. Heeding The Call

A flash in the night, a journey through time
the Templars are back on the streets
Guarded by prowess and the will to survive
all led by the guiding light

Angels of mercy, guardians of time
Shackled and chained through the eternal flame
the hammer will slowly arise

Heeding The Call, one and for all
never surrender, with glory we'll fall
Brothers unite, let's stand up and fight
fulfilling our fate, we are Heeding The Call

One step ahead, revealing the past
united, together we stand
The call of the thunder, the sign to begin
this final crusade we will win

Angels of mercy, our journey must proceed
With hearts all filled up with chivalry
the lifeblood that we all need

Heeding The Call, one and for all
never surrender, with glory we'll fall
Brothers unite, let's stand up and fight
fulfilling our fate, we are Heeding The Call

Oh, oh, oh...

Heeding The Call, one and for all
never surrender, with glory we'll fall
Brothers unite, let's stand up and fight
fulfilling our fate, we are Heeding The Call


4. Stone Cold

Outcast a time of war, when mankind lost control
of life and death, under surveillance
I watch the children pray, while god just turns away
out in the ruins they seek shelter

These streets were once my home, but those
golden days are gone, now I'm fighting to survive

Stone cold, the end of our dream

The sword is on the street, it's kill or to be killed
with no exception you are on your own

We should have seen it all along, the writings
on the wall, tell me what have we become

Stone cold ...

Who do you belive in now, when the prophecy
came true, the final deja vu

These streets were once my home ...

Stone cold ...


5. Hero's Return

In a time of fear and confusion,
silence charging the air
The sunlight is gone, darkness lives on
in the heart of the dragon's lair

Lost in a world of illusions
No trace of the missing ore
Stealing our souls, we're out of control,
knocking at death's door

All our beliefs fading into ashes
Heed the words that we pray

For a Hero's Return our hearts still yearn
Rise and conquer, let the infidels burn

Now we charge, the battle is raging,
blood runs everywhere
Our anger is fierce, avenging the years
No time for a final prayer

Behold, the might of the hammer,
elliptical bolts of fire
There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You're down to the wire

Somewhere out there lies a new tomorrow
for me and those who believe

For a Hero's Return our hearts still yearn
Rise and conquer, let the infidels burn
For a Hero's Return our hearts still yearn
Rise and conquer, let the infidels burn

Oooh...

Now, I've returned from a place far beyond
My mission I set, let it be done

We still believe in a brighter future
The dreams are ours to fulfil

For a Hero's Return....


6. Legacy Of Kings

Out in the fields
the full moon is rising
Enlightens the name on our shields
blessed with pride

Steel on our side
we're horsemen of thunder
The ground starts to shake as we ride
side by side

Stormbringer led us into the unknown
On wings of glory we will carry on

Legacy Of Kings - LEGACY OF KINGS
forever to surrvive, we're
Riding on the winds - RIDING ON THE WINDS
unchained and free, alive forevermore

Deep in the night
we circle around them
The honor compels us to fight
all for one

All hewed with steel
in the toil of the battle
Our enemies fate will reveal
and be sealed

The chill of the wind keeps on calling our names
there's no turning back now, keep hold of the flame

Legacy Of Kings - LEGACY OF KINGS
forever to surrvive, we're
Riding on the winds - RIDING ON THE WINDS
unchained and free, alive forevermore

Now we are here
and there is nothing left to fear
The secrets of steel
the path of glory will reveal

Legacy Of Kings - LEGACY OF KINGS
forever to surrvive, we're
Riding on the winds - RIDING ON THE WINDS
unchained and free, alive forevermore

8. At The End Of The Rainbow

As long as I remember
we've marched across this land
oh, oh ...

Reached for a new horizon
pulled by the killing hand
oh, oh ...

All fed up with lies
the time has come
to break these chains and fly

Here we stand, bound forevermore
we're out of this world, until the end
Here we are, mighty, glorious
At The End Of The Rainbow
with gold in our hands

We know the treasure lies
beyond the pouring rain
oh, oh ...

Our quest will last forever
for you it's all the same
oh, oh ...

No one can deny
our future's set
to reach above the sky

Here we stand, bound forevermore
we're out of this world, until the end
Here we are, mighty, glorious
At The End Of The Rainbow
with gold in our hands

Let's fly away through the rain
fly high, to ease the burning pain
oh, the colours fading out
The light is shining in the night
it's up to you, it's worth the fight
search before the colours fade

Here we stand bound forevermore
we're out of this world, until the end
Here we are, mighty, glorious
At The End Of The Rainbow
with gold in our hands


9. The Way Of The Warrior

Our time has come, get ready fight
Sisters and brothers in metal unite
The dreams that you had are about to come true
The voice of the warrior is calling for you

Turn your own deeds to his gracious glory,
and he will make you see

This is the way we want it to be
This is The Way Of The Warrior
This is the way we want it to be
Walking the way, the honest will see
Walking The Way Of The Warrior
Walking the way, The Way Of The Warrior

Blood-red the steel of our swords shall flow
and by the allegiance we're ready to go
Stout are the foe, in warfare so bold
Nothing can stop us, the future we hold

Brace up, defend,
never ever be outdone in bravery

This is the way we want it to be
This is The Way Of The Warrior
This is the way we want it to be
Walking the way, the honest will see
Walking The Way Of The Warrior
Walking the way, The Way Of The Warrior

The saints and the sinners in battle so bright, as
the forces of steel will unite
The way of the warrior, the call of his life, shall
lead us all into the light

The metal crusade will conquer all
Our bonds will be stronger, see the infidels fall
Surrender your soul to the Gods of steel
In the blood of the fallen the enemies kneel

Turn your own deeds to his gracious glory,
and he will make you see
Brace up, defend,
never ever be outdone in bravery

This is the way we want it to be
This is The Way Of The Warrior
This is the way we want it to be
Walking the way, the honest will see
Walking The Way Of The Warrior
Walking the way, The Way Of The Warrior

This is the way we want it
This is the way we need it
This is The Way Of The Warrior

This is the way we want it
This is the way we need it
This is The Way Of The Warrior
This is the way


10. The Unforgiving Blade

When the sky is turning black, you fear the dawn
Your inner voice compels you, but you're all alone
Thy secret sense lies still obscure within your
shattered dreams,
and all you can do is scream

Long ago you spoke the words of heresy
Twenty years of running brings back memories
All your wisdom made me seek the truth that lied
beyond
my inner dreams

"Follow the one that fell from the crimson skies"
I remember the words, I can never forget your demise

And now your world's falling down
For all the games that you played
And as your soul's falling down
You'll meet The Unforgiving Blade

Should have seen it coming
when you rolled the dice
Deeper and deeper, falling,
away from your paradise

Innocent eyes observing the Crimson Skies,
awaiting for someone to heal the burning lies

And now your world's falling down
For all the games that you played
And as your soul's falling down
You'll meet The Unforgiving Blade

And now your...


11. Glory To The Brave

Snow is falling down on this glorious land
colors fading, turning into white again
To fallen heroes angels sting, they cry their winter tears
endless mourning days will turn to years

So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and
spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away now

Nothing on earth stays forever
but none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
you're gone to the home of the brave

Every solemn moment I will treasure inside
even though it's hard to understand
that a silent wind can blow that candle out
taking everything leaving the pain far behind

You call out my name, but your voice is fading
into the wind, embraced, you'll fly away now, fly away now

Nothing on earth stays forever
but none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
you're gone to the home of the brave

My eyes are closed I feel you're faraway (so close)
far beyond that shining star
I know you'll find what you've been fighting for
far beyond that shining star

Down on bended knee I pray, bring courage to these souls
make'em live forever in the heart of the bold
So I say farewell my friends, I hope we'll meet again
when my time has come to fall from the grace

So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and
spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away now

Nothing on earth stays forever
but none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
you're gone to the home of the brave

13. Let The Hammer Fall

It's getting closer now
the clock strikes midnight time
It is the tolling of the judgement bell

You fear the dead of night
there ain't no place to hide
This is your point of no return

Now we are ready to strike, again
It's getting far to late, my friend

Let The Hammer Fall

We are above the law
let our power show
That we're in full control of your destiny

Now we are ready to strike, again
It's getting far to late, my friend

Let The Hammer Fall

Oh, oh, oh...

We're getting closer now
the chill of distant eyes
Your on a dead end street into the night

Now we are ready to strike, again
It's getting far to late, my friend

Let The Hammer Fall
Let the Hammer... FALL


14. Renegade

See the outlaw stands alone beneath the burning sun
The raging badlands now is his home
There's no sign of victory, he lost his liberty
and the only woman that he loved

An outlaw chasing outlaws, a runner in the night
By the radiant moon he will strike
The seeker of all dangers has come to take his toll
From the dead of night he will arise

Renegade, Renegade
Committed the ultimate sin
Renegade, Renegade
This time the prowler will win

He stalks in shadow lands, soundless, with gun in hand
Striking like a reptile, so fierce
No chance to get away, no time for your last prayer
When the prowler sneaks up from behind

An outlaw chasing outlaws, the hunter takes his pray
The law of the jungle he obeys
Craving for the danger to even out the scores
Face to face, once and for all

Renegade, renegade
Committed the ultimate sin
Renegade, renegade
This time the prowler will win

On through the night he rides, on his raging
horse made of steel
Nothing can save you now, before the renegade
you will kneel

Renegade, Renegade
Committed the ultimate sin
Renegade, renegade
This time the prowler will win

Renegade, Renegade
Committed the ultimate sin
Renegade, renegade
This time the prowler will win


15. Steel Meets Steel

Back in 1095, when the call to arms came
we had the red cross sown on
Sent to save the holy land and crush the infidels
with strength from above

STEEL MEETS STEEL

On towards victory we march, the guiding star
lead us to the battle field
There, the heathens were subdued, and in the end
we forced them all to yield or die

STEEL MEETS STEEL

In July in '99, the Holy City was stormed and won
Jerusalem was freed, we thanked the lord for our glory

We, the Templars, have survived by honor and pride
and the blessing of the sword
The quest of the war, forever sung
to the sound of steel meets steel

STEEL MEETS STEEL


16. Crimson Thunder

We are the voices in the dark
Inside the fire we are the
Eternal Spark that will guide the way

We are the stars up in sky
We gather winds so you can fly
We are the light when you're sleeping

All your dreams can come true
"Where do we go?"
We're just a heartbeat away

Follow the signs of the Crimson Thunder
We will stay by your side
Let our voices be there to guide you

We are forces in the rain
Inside your heart we are the
unending answer to all your fears

So take a step towards the light
The crimson sky fullfills the night
The revelation is near

All your dreams can come true
"Where do we go?"
We're just a heartbeat away

Follow the signs of the Crimson Thunder...
We will stay by your side
Let our voices be there to guide you

[Solo: Stefan]

All your dreams can come true...

Follow the signs of the Crimson Thunder...


17. Templars Of Steel

The hands of time have brought you here
to make a change, to break down the walls
You are the ones and you are the only
trying to live by your own goals

And you all cry for freedom
Raise your fists to the sky

Let your voice speak for the revolution
All join forces with all the powers that you feel
Let your heart beat for the revolution
Led by the Templars of Steel

Let's spread the word of the sole survivors
with metal pounding inside their souls
The fire burns, and it will forever
blaze for the ones who stands strong

And you all cry for freedom
with your fists in the sky

Let your voice speak for the revolution
All join forces with all the powers that you feel
Let your heart beat for the revolution
Led by the Templars of Steel
You are the Templars of Steel

Oh, oh, oh ...

Let your voice speak for the revolution
All join forces with all the powers that you feel
Let your heart beat for the revolution
Led by the Templars of Steel

Let your voice speak for the revolution
All join forces with all the powers that you feel
Let your heart beat for the revolution
Led by the Templars of Steel
You are the Templars of Steel


18. Hearts On Fire

We saw the writings on the wall
When heathens ruled above us all
Tormented, we still heard the call

You come to bring us down
Wield the scepter, steal the crown
Time on the throne is running out

'Cause seasons change but we are still the same
Event though the cold winds blow we're burning like a flame '

Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel

Hearts On Fire

For years shunned by society
Outcasts, condemned for our beliefs
Our legions grew in secrecy

And now, the time is here
I see the Templars everywhere
The Freedom Call is drawing near

We hold our rebel banners up with pride
The colour's crimson and the Hammer is the sign

Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel

Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire...

Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire...


19. Hammerfall

Silent screaming, you're on your own
Balancing on a blade
Between what's right and what is wrong
Don't loose your faith, don't sit there in silence
Show your strength, let's hail the metal Gods,
Bare your heart

All for one, our burning hearts will live forever
One for all, together standing strong

Hammerfall - we will prevail
Hammerfall - let us hail

Hammerfall - we will prevail
Hammerfall - let us hail

We share a dread, the future is ours
A Metal Heart is hard to tear apart, heed the call
A flash of light calls out the providers
We run this race, but we will never crawl, all hail
Hammerfall

All for one, our burning hearts will live forever
One for all, together standing strong

Hammerfall - we will prevail
Hammerfall - let us hail
Hammerfall - we will prevail
Hammerfall - let us hail

Just follow your heart, don't listen to the crowd
The wisdom, the voice is calling from inside
The time long forgotten will soon come again
Prepare for the meeting, the Gods of Metal reign


20. The Dragon Lies Bleeding

Ride through the valley in thunder and rain
The battle is raging, redeem this domain
The castle of Eden lies silent above
Darkness surrounds us, away we must go

I look through the eyes of the world
I see there's a stranger among us
Awaiting a sign from above
To conquer the power and the glory

Enter the battle, our will to enchain
bringing us forward, defeating the pain
Into the meeting with swords made of steel
We're standing together, the secret reveals

I look through the eyes of the world
I know who's the stranger among us
Awaiting a sign from above to conquer
Tthe power and the glory

Come across to the promised land
Close your eyes I will take your hand
Through the river of steel we'll go
When the dragon lies bleeding

Above the glory we'll carry on
Now the time has come to return back home
The setting sun illuminates the dead
On the battlefield it's shining red

Silent lies Eden on top of the moor
We're fighting with honor protecting our Lord
The last one survivor lies bleeding, I kneel
Into his heart I settle the steel

I look through the eyes of the world
There is no stranger among us
we march through the end of the world
in search of the power and the glory

Come across to the promise land...


21. Stronger Than All

Always standing proud, we know our time has come
marching off to war, the crusade has just begun
Fighting for the right to live under the sun
we won't stop 'til they've lost and we've won

Come and fly with us, together as one we belong
This magic of metal unites us, it's making us strong

Like an arrow we strike - STRONGER THAN ALL
heavy metal troops on the rise
Like an arrow of might - STRONGER THAN ALL
We'll walk through fire, we're true to ourselves and our lives

History commits the oath to deal in steel
Warriors of the Faith, to no living soul we kneel
Born into the fold, the Templars are for real
no one will ever bring us to heel

Come and fly with us, together as one we belong
this magic of metal unites us, it's making us strong

Like an arrow we strike - STRONGER THAN ALL
shooting through the air at full speed
Like an arrow of might - STRONGER THAN ALL
in the name of metal, defending our hopes and beliefs

The past and the present unites in us all, we stand up for our beliefs
The way of the Templars is here once again, forever they will be free

Like an arrow we strike - STRONGER THAN ALL
heavy metal troops on the rise
Like an arrow of might - STRONGER THAN ALL
We'll walk through fire, we're true to ourselves
Like an arrow we strike - STRONGER THAN ALL
shooting through the air at full speed
Like an arrow of might - STRONGER THAN ALL
in the name of metal, defending our hopes and beliefs


22. A Legend Reborn

You've been fighting for much too long
You saw the future and what to come
Restless spirits out on the run,
among the shadows of the sun

You are the rising resistance now
We've come to show you a way somehow
Beyond the past and in secrecy,
we found it all, but we want more

We come from the age of chivalry
Metal machines, unchained and free
We are here for you to see

Flying on wings of steel, thundering, we are
breaking the seal
Fighting for the oath we sworn, to spread the
word of a Legend Reborn

Moving silent like a gentle breeze
We're the troops of metal and we do as we
please
We are the restless, we are the wild,
burning hearts that never die

We are going against the tide
The hammer has fallen, a thorn in your side
Break the silence or take the fall
The mighty Templars will take it all

Welcome the age of chivalry,
we're we all will be set free
It's the time for you and me

Flying on wings of steel, thundering, we are
breaking the seal
Fighting for the oath we sworn, to spread the
word of a Legend Reborn

Sons and brothers fight or fall
With our sisters and daughters
We're standing one for all

Flying on wings of steel, thundering, we are
breaking the seal
Fighting for the oath we sworn, to spread the
word of a Legend Reborn

Flying on wings of steel, thundering, we are
breaking the seal
Fighting for the oath we sworn, to spread the
word of a Legend Reborn
