Hail to the Housecarl

Verse 1:
Born in the fire and of Germanic blood
he rose the ranks of his countryman
in the battles raging of sea and land
all came to fear and love this man
From tales over the seas
to battles and lore
riding a powder-white steed
from shore to shore
He prays for death to be no more
and he rides to save your soul
Hail to the Housecarl
Hail to the Housecarl
legends rise above
Hail to the Housecarl
born in the flame
Hail to the Housecarl
he lives in fame
Verse 2:
After the incident
he could not hold a sword
but his work was not yet done
his word was his sword
and this attitude the bow
and he warns all of the foe
From tales over the seas
to battles and lore
riding a powder-white steed
from shore to shore
He prays for death to be no more
and he rides to save your soul
Hail to the Housecarl
Hail to the Housecarl
Hearts under attack
Hail to the Housecarl
hope is coming
Hail to the Housecarl
always to return
Verse 3:
A bodyguard by choice
he is the defender
of his holy lord
He rides from door to door
smiting evil
no longer do you need to fear.
YEAH-E-YEAH-E-YEAH
From tales over the seas
to battles and lore
riding a powder-white steed
from shore to shore
He prays for death to be no more
and he rides to save your soul
Hail to the Housecarl
Hail to the Housecarl
everyone knows his name
Hail to the Housecarl
the only one
Hail to the Housecarl
stand if you're able
From tales over the seas
to battles and lore
riding a powder-white steed
from shore to shore
He prays for death to be no more
and he rides to save your soul
Hail to the Housecarl
all hail
Hail to the Housecarl
you know his name
Hail to the Housecarl
Oh the Housecarl
Hail to the Housecarl
oh her we go
Hail to the Housecarl
The Housecarl
Hail to the Housecarl
The Housecarl

Against the World
04:13
|
|||
You paint me the fool
When you, yourself cannot see
Expectation wandering
I'm expected to pay the fee
Condescending eyes and cold emotions run
Its spitting in the wind fleeing from
The lies that you've spun
Me against the world
Will not be ignored
Me against the world
No more discord
Me against the world
No where to run.
You think you've seen it all
But the best is yet to come
You think you're so damn smart
When you hold the gun
Well lets turn the tables
And see what you've done
Nothing of memory
You will fade and run
Me against the world
Will not be ignored
Me against the world
No more discord
Me against the world
No where to run
Your words and thoughts so worthless
I no longer deserve this
You judge me I'll judge you too
Time for the end now pay your due
Me against the world
Will not be ignored
Me against the world
No more discord
Me against the world
No where to run
Me against the world
Will not be ignored
Me against the world
No more discord
Me against the world
No where to run

Broken Day
05:21
|
|||
Out on the streets again
I see the end is near
People fighting for nothingness
Leaves me insecure
Does the news have the answer?
It all seems so unclear
Its as life is only a question
And the answers only fear
Under the dust of a broken day
We will rebuild the world today
For the truth we never compromised
We lived to see the worlds demise
Death is behind its nothing more
Eternity enters the door
A light came to me
A thousand years ago
My was dead and without reason
I'd hit an all time low
If not for kindness of stranger
I might not be here today
These memories fading in the distance
I'm glad they didn't stay
Under the dust of a broken day
We will rebuild the world today
For the truth we never compromised
We lived to see the worlds demise
Death is behind its nothing more
Eternity enters the door
Under the dust of a broken day
We will rebuild the world today
For the truth we never compromised
We lived to see the worlds demise
Death is behind its nothing more
Eternity enters the door
Watching the world fall

Edge of a Knife
05:10
|

Fear
Does it control you
Or is your mind playing tricks
If the bough breaks
Will your spirit
Find the will to survive
What would you do if your life
Was held at the edge of a knife
Would you fall, would you kill them all
Or would fear rule the day
Nevermore to say
Fate
Is forged by you
Never to do what they tell you to
The endless race
Never to be ignored
Your voice
Mightier than the sword
What would you do if your life
Was held at the edge of a knife
Would you fall, would you kill them all
Or would fear rule the day
Nevermore to say
What will you do with this life in your hands
Meet the needs of others or enforce your demands
Face the day or face the nightmare
What would you do if your life
Was held at the edge of a knife
Would you fall, would you kill them all
Or would fear rule the day
Nevermore to say

The Siege
04:03
|
|||
In my plight
I see no answer
I see that this is the
End of the line
The King's men have scrambled
Leaving no reserve
A group soldiers we will stand and fall
Don't you be weary now
The end comes to all who hope
Never to see the light of day, again
Enemies surround us in this world of decay
All will be claimed in the siege
I hear the cries of fallen foes
Still ringing in my ears
I hear the thunder, of the engines
The end is drawing ever nigh
One more time, I string my bow
May thy arrows fly straight and true
Don't you be weary now
The end comes to all who hope
Never to see the light of day, again
Enemies surround us in this world of decay
All will be claimed in the siege
The rebellion was it worth cost
Of the lives we sought to keep
My family just a memory
An unmarked stone of war
On this blockade of filth
If we are to dine in hell
Give no mercy cry
Death to all on this forsaken rock
Don't you be weary now
The end comes to all who hope
Never to see the light of day, again
Enemies surround us in this world of decay
All will be claimed in the siege

Olaf the Blind
04:31
|

He could brew the finest of mead
And such booze reflected his deeds
He freed the people from tyranny
To glory of battle the held the key
Many say he was blinded, many moons ago
In the great conflict, of ice and snow
Chorus:
This the legend of Olaf the Blind
Guardian and savior to all Vikingkind
With a tankard of mead he united the land
Under his reign evil cannot stand
Master of combat with sword and shield
To no foe would he yield
Lacking sight and the eyes to see
Berzerker rage set him free
In the portal of madness he slayed the beast
In the halls of Valhalla he holds his feast
This the legend of Olaf the Blind
Guardian and savior to all Vikingkind
With a tankard of mead he united the land
Under his reign evil cannot stand
In the wilderness and open sky
Great King Olaf heard the cry
Twenty Valkyries sang out his name
For the homeland he would claim
This the legend of Olaf the Blind
Guardian and savior to all Vikingkind
With a tankard of mead he united the land
Under his reign evil cannot stand

Design the Architect

Welcome to the institute a place for vile plan
A robotic masterpiece, built by the hands of man
A metal deity to rule the world
With rage of thunder and burning sky
Mankind seals its fate tonight
Reign of blood and fatal steel
All is illusion yet none can feel
Design the architect, a god you invent
Spreading deadly seed, all the sheep will feed
Design the architect, all you will infect
Defeat is nigh, meet your own design
We tell you when to live, and when to cut the cord
Society on rails, bow to the metal lord
Feast your eyes on the end
With rage of thunder and burning sky
Mankind seals its fate tonight
Reign of blood and fatal steel
All is illusion yet none can feel
Design the architect, a god you invent
Spreading deadly seed, all the sheep will feed
Design the architect all you will infect
Defeat is nigh meet your own design
Self awareness of machine
Spells the end for mankind
Steel reigns under a black moon
Behold the architect of doom
With rage of thunder and burning sky
Mankind seals its fate tonight
Reign of blood and fatal steel
All is illusion yet none can feel
Design the architect, a god you invent
Spreading deadly seed, all the sheep will feed
Design the architect all you will infect
Defeat is nigh, meet your own design
Design the architect, a god you invent
Spreading deadly seed, all the sheep will feed
Design the architect all you will infect
Defeat is nigh, meet your own design
