Warriors of Light
Four brave souls, chosen by the crystals
The earth begins to rot
The wind dies, and the sea is wild
Prophecies foretold
Four heroes rise
Bearers of light
Monsters run amok in our lands
The lords with their swords powerless to understand
Follow the words of the sages of light
Four weapons appear as they prophesized
We trek through the mountains
We crawl through dungeons dark
If you want to win every fight
You must master all magics
Black and white
Time itself is standing in our way
But we've got jobs to do
Four heroes fight
Etched in holy light
Monsters run amok in our lands
The lords with their swords powerless to understand
Follow the words of the sages of light
Four weapons appear as they prophesized
We trek through the mountains
We crawl through dungeons dark
If you want to win every fight
You must master all magics
Black and white
Boss fight
You could not have thought it would be so easy
Four fiends, your opposite number, desiring of your defeat
Fight
Spell, spell, spell after spell
Death, plague, war, and conquest
Snuff out the light that lives in your heart
We won't fade into nothingness
Yaaaaaargh
Solo: Millard
Solo: Darden
We are the lightbringers
Evil vanquished, we watch silently
World healed of its scars
The light of the crystal ever in our hearts

Burner
05:51
|

I am a burner trained in secret
Cinders are how you'll find my path
Gravemaster's war missed a few spots
Now his undead hordes feel our wrath
The undead burn quite readily
By fire and brand we will be free
The burner corps will make them
Burn! (Burn)
Fuckin' burn it down
Scorching earth and flesh
Of the countrymen we knew
No! (No!)
Now it's fucking time
Time to burn it out
Did someone call the burners down
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Fuck you
Generation wiped out by the undead
Raised by the necromancer's call
Survivors trained from birth to kill them
Raised by the few who did not fall
The undead burn quite readily
By fire and brand we will be free
The burner corps will make them
Burn! (Burn)
Fuckin' burn it down
Scorching earth and flesh
Of the countrymen we knew
No! (No!)
Now it's fucking time
Time to burn it out
Did someone call the burners down
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Get ripped
Solo: Darden
Solo: Millard
Explosions lighting up like candles
Upon the undead citadel
Gravemaster's cold magic is melting
The burners come to collect the bill
The undead burn quite readily
By fire and brand we will be free
The burner corps will make them
Burn! (Burn)
Fuckin' burn it down
Scorching earth and flesh
Of the countrymen we knew
No! (No!)
Now it's fuckin' time
Time to burn it out
Did someone call the burners
Down
Burn them down
Eat shit and die
Burn

Silent Circle
04:32
|
|||
Beyond the world that we can see with our own eyes
Searching for something barely felt and hardly known
I feel you stand beside me even though you're gone
Fleeting figures in the mist
The black wind's lonely moans
Even though our foes threaten to take us down
Now our forebears have gone on
The strength we learned will see us surely through again
The body goes
But the power
Will always remain
Silent circle, bound by loss
We persevere together
We keep the flames a-burnin
Silent circle, ride beyond
We must overcome
Our swords gleam ever brighter
Silent circle
We ride beyond
Oh yeah
Solo: Darden
Solo: Millard
Silent circle, bound by loss
We persevere together
We keep the flames a-burnin
Silent circle, ride beyond
We must overcome
Our swords gleam ever brighter
Silent circle, we won't forget
Standing for each other
Fighting for our brothers
Silent circle, ride beyond
We must overcome
Our swords gleam ever brighter

Fear the Old Blood
06:34
|
|||
Solo: Hufham
It seems almost too long ago now
That we delved into Pthumeru
If we knew then what we know now
A forgotten descent
To escape
The blood moon
A discovery of blood
The evolution of mankind
A healing church is begun
Heal the sick, beware the beast
Fear the old blood
It's what he said to me
Fear the old blood
Now I'm just a burning beast
But the work we've done cannot be in vain
The cosmos are so close
A paleblood sky, we must beckon the moonlight
The great ones reveal themselves to those with insight
Harvesters of eyes
The hunt becomes genocide
Our original sin
So be it, let our ascent begin
Fear the old blood
It's what he said to me
Fear the old blood
Now I'm just a burning beast
And now I sit upon a burning throne in nightmares
Await the hunter sane enough to finish me
The time has come for axe, for whip, for sword, for sickle
I couldn't release the queen from her misery
Solo: Millard
Solo: Darden
Fear the old blood
Fear the old blood
Fear the old blood
Fear the old blood, fear the old blood

Seven Days of Fire
06:55
|
|||
There's no end to human cruelty
There's nothing new under the sun
Imagination
Annihilation
With our power, living under the gun
See the lances of fire light
Creation of destruction, endless night
Born for only one purpose
End everything in sight, then die
Sail the sea of corruption
But beware the pale glow of poisoned light
This doom made by your own hands
Can be reborn if only you desire, ha ha ha
Seven days of fire
Seven days of fire
Seven days of fire
Seven days
To die
Oh, we are god warriors
Oh, we are god warriors at your service tonight
Seven days of fire burning down Earth's empires
Enemies
Everywhere
Running scared
But was it worth it to bring us into the fray
And did you enjoy the end of everything
Did you think that we were worth the price
Oh, the price you paid
Solo: Millard
And now we accept our end with grace
The pride and joy of your arms race
Before we go just tell us, please
Tell us we did well then we'll be at peace
Give us release
Seven days of fire
Seven days of fire
Seven days of fire
Seven days
Oh, die

Last Words (Ruin's Ride)

LAST WORDS (RUIN'S RIDE)
I was holding my saddle as the moon rose in the sky
We will answer the call for aid and we ride out tonight
Some say it isn't our fight and I myself have a wife and son at home
For what business has my blade
With the beasts at the white city's gates
But I will ride to ruin
Death calls and I shake my spear
In its grinning face
I will ride on to world's end
Even if it means that I'll never see you again
Solo: Darden
But who will answer our own call
Once all are gone and we stand alone
Shall I die then at my own hearth
With my son in my arms
Though it pierces my heart to say
I must fight and die far away
I pray the axe won't fall
So we must heed the call
So I will ride to ruin
Death calls and I answer
With death of my own
I will ride on to world's end
Even if it means that I'll never see you again
[Recitation]
As the black host stretches endlessly before us
I feel my spear grip loosen, along with my resolve
I think of the stretching plains of home
And your face before them
I think then of our boy
Would that I could see him mount a steed himself
If you raise him as a rider, as I know you shall
He'll understand why I make my last charge
Here, on this
My final day
SOLO: Millard
I ride into ruin
Death calls to take me home
I ride unto my world's end
Against the dark

Adventurers
05:44
|

Pack up all your gear and let's go
Travelers blast off far from their home
Adventure calls we hear the song of the road
We play it fast and loud, you fucking know
Distant lands need the hammer we bring
So we'll live off of grease and cheap whiskey
Pray to the motor sanctified with riffs
You can get on board or you can just eat shit
Adventurers
Leave troubles behind
Oh, adventurers
What troubles will they find
The mountain
Looms in view
An obstacle
Of mythic truth
Punch the pedal and we elevate
The king's toll will not be paid
Adventurers always make their own way
The bard's song forever remains
The mountain's ascent passes without event
But as we slide down we know that our brakes are spent
Launching dead weight into the valley below
We bid goodbye and it's on with the show
Adventurers
Leave troubles behind
Oh, adventurers
What troubles will they find
The tower
Looms in view
Wreathed in song
We add our voice
Solo: Millard
Dark alchemy has us compromised
Our chariot must fight for its life
Racing through the oncoming night
No sleep
Or we fucking die
Adventurers
Leave troubles behind
Oh, adventurers
What troubles will they find
As we ride
The sun does rise
Still so far
But we won't stop
Look ahead, the light shines through
And we know just what to do
Never hesitate
The stage was set for victory
Warriors returning
From a glorious campaign
Adventurers

Oath to Order
06:31
|
|||
Once upon a time
I was lost in the woods
Ensnared, a specter in that land
I can almost remember the song of Saria
Nearly can I recall my old friends
The giants have forsaken me
Unamused it seems
Lost alone, I'm wandering
My face they will not see
Where did we go wrong
My nature once brought them such joy
Now they say my mischief has brought only pain and suffering
They say that I'm to leave
Or I'm to die
The giants have forsaken me
Betrayal it seems
Lost alone, I'm wandering
My face holds misery
Once the jester's mask
Was stripped away from me
They saw the tears stream
Not caring for feelings deep
They didn't like what
Hid behind the mask
Take away the laughter
And what do you see
Take it away
Oh no
I said take it away
Won't you take it away from me
But what's this mask I see
Dark power all for me
I'll strip the pain away
A new face to make them pay
I wanna die
But not before they know
The rotten taste of fatal self doubt
You walked away from me
Now stay where you go
Watch as your time is running out
But who's this boy I see
My old friend of Kokiri
I'll give him just a taste
Of my world's horrors that await
I wanna die
But not before they know
The rotten taste of fatal self doubt
You walked away from me
Now stay where you go
Watch as your time is running out
Solo: Millard
And on the dawn of the final day
You'll understand
And on the dawn of the final day
You'll understand
