Side by side we stand together
Strength in our battle forged bond we share
Brace for the enemy charge, straight into our line
We will hold the line, they will never break through
Pagan pride, our heathen heroes
Shall defeat the christian vermin
Shield brothers and sisters stand and fight
They will not break us
Wave after wave
Crash upon our shields and die
Slashed and stabbed by sword and spear
Christian blood falls like rain
Berserkers tear through their ranks
Shield wall will never break
Valkyries come to take
Fallen ones to Valhall's gate
Glory waits for those who fall
Taken home to Odin's hall
Side by side, pagan pride
Drive them back, heathen attack
On the run, christian scum
This is our land, victory at hand
Chase them down
just like hounds
Cowards run, fall, and die
Rallied by their king, some turn to fight
Reform the line, shields are ready
Like waves, they break upon our shields
Our wall will not fall
Hacking limbs and splitting skulls
Christians stand no chance
Draw the string, feel the sting
In the head, christian king now dead
Where is your god now?
Before us you will bow
Field of bodies
Take the able, kill the rest
Only a few remain
Christians liked in chains
Victory won
Glory to the gods
Christians driven from our land
Home now at peace
They will return
Never relent!
Never give up!

On the Western edge of the human realm
Lies a fortress
That stood strong for a thousand years
Great horde of the orcs
Marches to make siege
Thousands of warriors, coming to kill
Marching to conquer, the realm of man
Siege machines of fear
And war trolls
March on
Target is the fortress
Its walls will fall
Darkness is unleaded
Upon mankind
Fear grips the fortress
Riders return with news of war
Scouts have spotted the greenskins
Prepare for the siege
Soldiers prepare your weapons
Archers to the walls
Reinforce the battlements
Start to ration supplies
Orcs now surround the fortress wall
Fire the catapults, archers take aim
Ram to the gate, there is no escape
Walls start to crumble, men meet their fate
Greenskins start to pour in through the sundered wall
War trolls follow with great weapons of fear and hate
Warriors of mankind will fall before the green tide
Retreat to the keep to hold out for a last stand
So few remain
Only the strongest and bravest fight on
Driven back to hold the keep
War trolls assaulting the door
Desperate last stand
Fight to the last man
Crushed before the horde
Mankind stood no chance
Slaughtered to the last
Greenskins have taken the fortress
Warlord now sits on the throne
Now a place of evil

Buried and lost
Forgotten to time
Long before mankind, they ruled
Immortal sleeping army
Awaken to reclaim
Overlord reanimates
Millenia of slumber
Olden city comes alive
Crackling with green light
Archaic legion
Now awake
Reanimate
Reconquer
Legions march forth
Mindless machines of war
Overlord surveys his troops
Stoic host at his will
Upon the ziggurat he stands
Aspiring to rule the stars
Monolithic war machines
Ancient race, forgotten wrath
Crackling light of archaic power
Reclaim olden dynastic realm
From tomb world they spread
Silent and thoughtless legions
Force of galactic Annihilation
Attack without mercy
World after world falls
Energy beams that flay the flesh
Ancient blades that chop and slash
Soulless and mindless, immortal they fight
Reanimating horde
None can stand before their might
Reconquest is destined
Upon the ziggurat
Overlord reigns supreme
Upon the ziggurat
Dynasty will return
Brought back from the past
Awakened from slumber
Archaic brooding opressor
From the tomb world
Legions go forth
Soulless, fearless, and ageless
Upon the ziggurat
Overlord rules
Reconquest of ancient realm

Rally forth to meet the horde
Alliance to end subjugation
Prince Dmitry gathers his troops on the bank of the Don
Mamai approaches, riding forth
Horde who rules the steppes
Burn the bridges
No going back
Victory for the Rus'
Mongol rule begins to crack
Battle lines drawn
Flanks are secure
Banners are ready
The ambush is set
Champions fight first
Prelude of what is to come
Spears strike true
Neither leaves the field
Battle is on
Charge!
Valient Rus' warriors
Charge the Mongols
Break through the line
In the melee
Swirling chaos
Bloody carnage
Swords crash and ring
Spears stab and sting
Axes break through shields
Archers let death fly
So many dead
Neither side ahead
Blood flows like rain
A field of flowing pain
On and on they fight
Both sides showing might
Mongols start to break through
Rus' begin to fall back
Ambush let loose
Attack from the flank
Mongols worn down
Unprepared to defend
Taken by surprise
Rus' cavalry cut through
Routing the Mongols
Pursue their flight
Victory at last
First to turn back the horde
One step to Rus' freedom
Throw off the Mongol shackles
Hail! mighty Rus'
Hail! victory
Hail! brave warriors
Hail! mighty Rus'
Riding back victorious
Grand prince of the Rus'
Led his men to victory
One step toward freedom
Years and years of Mongol rule
Their power starts to wane
Men who gave their lives this day
Remembered as heroes of Rus'
Fields of Kulikovo
Brought glory to the Rus'
Fight to break subjugation

Long ago in ages past
Elven kings reigned ancestral
Great land of spender
Great riches, marvelous art
Grand palaces, thriving trade
Venerable king ruled just and fair
Prosperous land of proud history
Darkness came to the land
Destruction by corruption
Royal wizard schemed for control
Dark bargain with malign entity
Spell of greed poisoned the king's mind
Blinding him to the wizard's work
Completed in secret
Dark pact fulfilled
Realm in chaos, strife, and turmoil
King's madness deepens
Wizard opens the gate
Malevolence crosses through
Creature of corruption
Brought into this realm
Feeding on chaos
Panic takes hold
Creature grows ever stronger
Wizard confronts the king
Accusations of weakness
Elven lords divides and powerless
King can do nothing more
Wizard's plan comes to a climax
Grand act on display
To banish the one he summoned
Saving the realm and claiming the throne
Spell tome brought forth
Encantations read
Banishment failed
Dark one too strong
Gorged on elf blood
Wizard too weak
Betrayer now betrayed
None can stop chaos god
Darkness consumes the land
Devouring all
Fall of the elves at hand
One man's greed brings ruin
Millions of lives consumed
Ravenous hunger from aeons of slumber
Entire race wiped from the land
Civilization brough to ruin
Power beyond mortal control
Ancient deceiver hungers eternal
Land left barren, all life consumed
Dark one returns to the void
Spell tome hidden from the world
Secrets best left forgotten

Exquisite harmonies resonate profoundly! Such a resounding melody, finely woven. The shadows intricately entwine with the mellifluous riffs, crafting a sublime symphony of darkness and bliss.
