A plainsman from a conquered land Brought down by the emperor's hand A long way from home for you, boy. Thrust into the fighters' cage A sword and shield you'll wield for his amusement One by one, opponents fall Your name carried on the wind of the city A plainsman, standing proud and tall A tale of victory, a rumor of sorrow At the fate of the plains. The odds are stacking ever higher and higher But the blood of your foes ever rains. Leads: Ozzie, Ozzie+Chris harmony Let them all come I'll slay them all Just a plainsman No more Empire's Champion Face me now Stand before me A poisoned goblet has touched your lips The emperor's treachery is clear Your mind races as your body is stumbling The champion waits to fight You draw your sword and weakly grit your teeth No poison will remove victory from your sight Across the arena the champion is waiting On the balcony, the Emperor smiles You point to him with your sword and move forward The clash of steel fills the ears of all around Solos: Ozzie, Chris, Ozzie, Chris, Ozzie, Chris, Ozzie, Chris The champion's blood Soaks the ground Your knife rests On the emperor's throat!

Dog of War 04:06
I come alive when I smell death Released, a hound of war, I hurtle toward violence Man's best friend turned worst enemy Dog of War, I'm gonna tear em up, rip the throat, scatter for the trees Beast! of war, I've been Bred! to kill and Defend! By my master's hand Come! Try to face Me! I am no Man! My body speaks of Death! (Backing Vox: Death!) You can't stop me now! Blood! (Blood!) Spilling fast Dog! (of War!) I'll sniff out where you hide Your time is up and I'm watching the clock Your horse can't save you from me Officers and generals fall prey to my fangs I'm crashing through the lines Teeth gnashing, swords flashing in the night Horrifying howl The last thing you'll see are blood-flecked fangs! And in the moonlight I see him The standard-bearer, wearing an expression grim The night turns red as I fly forth (solo: Chris) Throat tear, beating heart, fear me for I am a beast of Hell Beast! of war, I've been Bred! to kill and Defend! By my master's hand Come! Try to face Me! I am no Man! My body speaks of Death! (Backing Vox: Death!) You can't stop me now! Blood! (Blood!) Spilling fast Dog! (of War!)

Black skies! Ignite! The powder smoke is hidden now by the menacing night. Gray ghosts and empty boasts, the spirits inside cloud and ones without are coming for you It's time to die as the Legion rides, bringing the damned to hell in their wake, laughter breaks Savage war cries haunt me, you most fear what you never can see The smoke conceals the strike best left unseen The mountain secrets left untold to us soldiers Forbidden knowledge snuffed out in last moments of life I can see the hatchet falling and falling towards me Rifle report in the wilderness. You don't know what you seek! Feel the life drain slowly! You will vacate these lands! You shall die by our hands! Say yer prayers! Chieftans a shoutin' Rocking chair to the rocking grounds, oh my! Smoke in the mountains Put a finger to the eye up in the sky Smoke on the mount, signal sky On the hilltop, savage cry

Whipping through the wastes, we're wild men on our way Against the discolored sun we're riding on the wind On this highway, we can't stop for a break We will uncover the legend of the wastes A relic from the past... Limitless energy... The Omega Generator is spoken of in song From a time before the bombs made this world a living hell Every rocket gang seeks the same thing we do But if they get there first we're all doomed... Watch out! We're coming! Wild jet engines, wasters cringing Rocket Highway, rockin' my way, These bastards don't fuck around Mount up! Ignition! Swinging chains and taking names, Rocket Highway, rockin' my way, You better watch your back! Watch out! We're coming! Wild jet engines, wasters cringing Rocket Highway, rockin' my way, These bastards don't fuck around Mount up! Ignition! Swinging chains and taking names, Rocket Highway, rockin' my way, You better watch your back! Jetbikes, don't ever give in Ride on, my friends To glory and to riches We can't ever give up While there is still hope, I'll go on and on and on and on and on... In the ruined future, few ride the infamous rocket highway. The Omega Generator, a mere legend, causes the brave and the foolish to face its horrors, and we are among them. For the sake of mankind, we ride on... Solos: Chris, Ozzie

Deep in the jungle the pale ones are stalking, stalking But they're far from home and we hear them talking The hallowed grounds of zultepec will run red with their blood Hear our prayer, Huitzilopochtli, as we go forth tonight [gang]Stab! And! Twist! Make! Them die! They! Won't! Live! Through! The night![/gang] Take them alive if you can The gods must be satisfied Silhouetted against the moon Aztec Warriors rise, to the spaniards' doom! Until the life leaves our bones We'll make them pay the Ultimate Price! Though disease racks our village Though staves of death spit fire Tonight we're ready for them From this earth they'll retire [gang]From! The! Hills! We! Crush them! No! Mer! cy! Is! Given! Take them alive if you can The gods must be satisfied Silhouetted against the moon Aztec Warriors rise, to the spaniards' doom! Until the life leaves our bones We'll fall upon them from the hills! Let the blood run freely, Fall upon the stone! Chanting malevolence, Summon up the ghosts! You have but one god, There are many for us. One god is not enough, To save you from the jungle or from us! Bind! Them! To! The! Stone! Summon! The Priest! Of! Bones! Pray! To! Your! God! Your! Time! Has! Come! Silhouetted against the moon Aztec Warriors rise, to the spaniards' doom! Until the life leaves our bones We'll make them our: HUMAN SACRIFICE!

As one of the learned three, I can perceive The ancient arts lost to time, and my craft is just that, it is Craft. In my forge as the fires warm me I provide the heroes with tools I am He Who Creates, I am the master of the forge. I transcend time in my journey The hammers echo in my ears Ever searching for the Dreamstone Time growing ever shorter Heave! Ho! I am old but hale, and I can work for aeons at a time Every true quest requires my skill Perhaps once in a generation, I shall create. Every legend you've heard, every story you've read I've had a hand in the tales, I've built death to your dread You won't hear my name, but you'll see my sign Carved with burning steel in your evil mind Solos: Ozzie, Pils, Chris, Pils, Ozzie, Chris, Ozzie and Chris at the same time I am kin of Hephaestus and Wayland The blood of the Smiths runs through my veins But the line ends with me

Defender 06:11
I have been summoned to fulfill my duty Feel the weight of my sword Offer no prayer to the god that forsook me Saddle and reign my horse We now ride to war! We push them back As we are pushed back ourselves Over our bodies they will take the keep Oh, the crows will sing Save the king, defend the keep! The giant has been roused from his sleep The riddle of steel has never seemed so clear to me As the sun rises and falls, our swords will ring Now! To the walls To the swords To the shields To the spears To the sky! Somewhere inside myself I find determination Await the assault as the sky pours rain Cleaving flesh and hewing bone I grasp my hilt until the skin is blistered, we will fight through the night and to hell until the day is won. By my own life blood, I will defend my home Solos: Ozzie, Chris, Ozzie, Chris And now dawn breaks, the black queen's standard lies broken Rejoice in triumph, The hellbitch is destroyed

C.O.T.R. 07:57
The ancient days are now laid out before us Conquest looms in our sights Merciless reptilian cunning Hear humanity's cries Crush! Slam! Erasure! We are reptite! Pace until death.... You! Won't! Escape us! Scream for all time! (Kill!) All those who stand in our way (Murder) The Warmbloods in their sleep (Maim!) The women! The children too! (Defeat!) All who resist our march to victory. Red Star! Fall! And I look to the sky And I don't know why I feel this dread Soon we'll be dead We've been hiding in this primal wood for days Trying to hold Nizbel's force at bay. Red star... Fall!!!!! Stain the whole earth...RED! Though it may be our fate to perish, we will not simply hand this world to you! Soon, stones of fire will rain down. Flames shall scorch the land. The burned out plains will slowly freeze, ushering in a long, cruel ice age. Mwa, ha ha!!
