The Grand Magus

Through darkness and despair
From a distant constellation,
Time is hollow, no tomorrow
And in such corrupted galaxy
I find I lose the sense of sanity
I will rule this world!
Hail the grand Magus!
Hail the grand Magus!
Hail the grand Magus!
Hail the grand Magus!
I will summon spectral forces,
undead at my command,
“Army of the damned, march across the land!”
With sorcery and ancient runes,
I conjure stars, eclipse the moons.
(Rise, eternal night!) Bow to your king!
Hail, Grand Magus rise!
His spells ignite the night,
A symphony of chaos
to vanquish all the light.
Hail the grand Magus!
Hail the grand Magus!
Hail the grand Magus!
Hail the grand Magus!
Yeah, there is no tomorrow [no tomorrow, no tomorrow]
In this land of sorrow [no tomorrow, no tomorrow]
There is no tomorrow [no tomorrow, no tomorrow]
Grand Magus, rise!

A fellowship united
The battle now is near
Across these lands and oceans
We reached the last frontier
'Cause every gauntlet has its heroes
And every hero wants revenge
Thyra in the corner
Her shield is made of steel
Drinking all the potions
The mighty Thor appears
Questor is a pesky elf
Go go go
Merlin joins the battle
With his fire balls
And every gauntlet has its heroes
And every hero wants revenge
This endless maze is quite mysterious
Let the final battle now commence
We defenders of the world
Are fighting the forces of evil
To our king we swore our oath
Hear this hymn of might and force
In this epic battle for freedom
We all are fighting for
The evil sorcerer’s fall
I command thee, creatures of woes
To rise up from your caves
To hunt down those false heroes
And bring them to their graves
This land once peaceful and serene
Now echoes with screams of pain
Its destiny long ago foreseen
My almighty power will forever reign
And every gauntlet has its heroes
And every hero wants revenge
This endless maze is quite mysterious
Let the final battle now commence
Bring on the fight!

The Queen's Nest
04:40
|
|||
Crawling through forbidden chambers in fear
The battle now is near
As is putrefaction
Acrid arachnids circle
Around the Chasm of Chaos
Plucking despair from my fading soul
Eight-legged screeching creatures
Light has left this realm
But the shard is the reason
We will continue this descent
Escaped the maze of tunnels
trapped inside the hall
Fighting for our lives
In the queen’s nest we are going to die
I hear her crawling coming for me
A spinning dark abyss
A multitude of eggs is hatching
The bodies fall like leaves
And blood still flows, relentless
We are chasing mirages
of what once we called hope, in vain
Out loud we scream our battle cry
But the queen’s nest is where we all die
QUEEN OF SPIDERS
Goddess of this realm of darkness
QUEEN OF SPIDERS
A nightmare that comes alive
Almighty
QUEEN OF SPIDERS
Ruling from her throne in silence
QUEEN OF SPIDERS
Torturer of souls
Bow to the
QUEEN OF SPIDERS
Pregnant with the seed of sadness
QUEEN OF SPIDERS
Holy mother of the hive
Majestic
QUEEN OF SPIDERS
Weaver of your fate and madness
QUEEN OF SPIDERS
Her ambush has just begun, once more!
You are no heroes of this gauntlet
Feel your life waining while she feasts
She gives life, she takes it away
Your end is looming, you’ll die here today
No shield nor spells will suffice
No arrow nor axe can excise her
Quiver in fear, you powerless squad
This is where you die at the hands of a god
We crossed this land so many times
We have always managed to survive
Is this the power that you fear?
We shake your realm down to the core
Won't break the promise that we swore
Come taste the power of my shield
Your death
Is near

The Valkyrie Has Fallen
03:48
|
|||
In the battle's fury, she soared high
Guiding our heroes as they fought (fought and died)
A beacon of hope, and a fearless call
The Valkyrie's strength standing tall
As the bright night turned cold and grim
Evil rose, casting shadows dim
A wicked force sought to claim her soul
The Valkyrie's fate, a tragic toll
And now the sky is filled with gloom
Her wings silenced and her spoils lost in doom
The Valkyrie's fall, such a tragic sight
When darkness engulfs her radiant light
Farewell!
The Valkyrie has fallen from the sky
Her song of triumph now a mournful cry
In the halls of Valhalla
her spirit lives on, her heart still aflame
We raise our swords, to avenge her
We’ll fight with honor, we’ll never be slaves
With courage unmatched, our heart still aflame
The Valkyrie's fall, it was not in vain
But now
The winds they howl, the oceans roar,
(The valkyrie has fallen)
Through raging thunders we will wield our swords high
The skies they weep, the mountains cry
Her legend echoes through the night
Such a pathetic sight!
The false heroes crying over an inevitable loss!
The Valkyrie has fallen, she will never return
Her spirit dies on, she has met her doom!
We'll raise our swords high, and shout out to the sky
Her spirit lives on, and we'll never die
Her memory inspires us, and we’ll fight with all might to
keep the fire burning and vanquish the night
Fight against evil, this battle for freedom
Will see the dark wizard’s demise
Join us, oh hero, there is nothing to fear
When our hearts and our souls will unite
Fight! Die!
Slay the dark lord! Now!
Bring me his head!
(Bridge) We gather now, with hearts ablaze, To honor her name, in battle's haze, Our steel will ring, our voices loud, We'll make the heavens witness the proud.
(Solo)
(Pre-Chorus) But now the sky is filled with gloom, Her wings silenced, lost in doom, The Valkyrie's fall, a tragic sight, Darkness engulfs her once radiant light.
(Chorus) The Valkyrie has fallen from the sky, Her song of triumph silenced, a mournful cry, In the halls of Valhalla, her spirit lives on, We raise our swords, avenge her, she's not gone.
(Bridge) We gather now, with hearts ablaze, To honor her name, in battle's haze, Our steel will ring, our voices loud, We'll make the heavens witness the proud.
(Chorus) The Valkyrie has fallen from the sky, Her song of triumph silenced, a mournful cry, In the halls of Valhalla, her spirit lives on, We raise our swords, avenge her, she's not gone.
(Outro) With valor we fight, in her memory we stand, The Valkyrie's spirit, forever in our hand, Through the ages, her legend we'll recall, The Valkyrie's fallen, but never shall she fall.

The Dryad's Song
04:44
|
|||
Softly she sings at the edge of the water
Her pale skin dressed in the dew from the rain
Meeting your eyes as she beckons you closer
Lost in her song as it sweeps you away
Drawn step by step till the water surrounds you
Feeling no longer your feet on the ground
Only her arms that caringly pull you
Down to the place where you'll drown
Haunted by the call of a nymph
A song that steals your breath
Haunted by a voice so suave and sweet
Falling into the depths now
There you'll find your grave
In her tranquil glade
A place so peaceful and undisturbed
By even the waves
And here is
Where you'll find your grave
In the dryad’s embrace
The enchantress of souls will softly sing
your final grace
Comforting her smile, while her hands pull you down
Surrounded by the cold, choking depths
No air to scream and nobody to hear you
Just you, her and the bones of the rest
Deeper and darker she drags you even farther
Down to a place where the light doesn't reach
And still she sings as the world fades around you
An enchanting fatal caress
Haunted by the call of a nymph
A song that steals your breath
Haunted by a voice so suave and sweet
Falling into the depths now
There you'll find your grave
In her tranquil glade
A place so peaceful and undisturbed
By even the waves
And here is
Where you'll find your grave
In the dryad’s embrace
The enchantress of souls will softly sing
your final grace
Far into the darkest of dreams
Where the old magic runs deep
The spirits of nature who live in the trees
Will gather round to sing
The dryad’s song
Down the ancient sylvan paths
Through a maze of bushes and vines
Emerging under different skies
We’ll gather round to sing
Through the lush and vibrant bloom
The winds will whisper a fragrant tune
The spirits of nature who live in the trees
Will gather round to sing
The dryad’s song

In the heart of darkness, where the shadows dance,
A realm of chaos ahead, that’s our final chance
The stakes are high, the dangers fierce
Our courage burns, no room for tears
With strength and valour, we will face our fears
We are marching on, guided by the light
Our spirits intertwined, igniting in the fight
Demon fiends and demon imps
Cultists, horrors, and the Sword of Tyrfing
This temple stands in ruins, from wars of ancient times
Forgotten in the darkness, where the moon no longer shines
This land is torn asunder, the skies engulfed in gloom
Dark Magus rising, bringing forth eternal doom
Within those hallowed walls old magic slept
Guarded by the sages, their vows were well-kept
But envy and greed, like embers in the dark, a dark lit spark
Ignited blazes, evil left its mark forevermore (The mark of Dur)
The fire danced, macabre trance
An inferno consuming every chance
To salvage the wisdom, the story untold
Ancient legends whispered in the wind,
Of gods and men upon their knees,
Seeking wisdom, seeking grace,
In the heart of this hallowed maze.
Demon fiends and demon imps
Cultists, horrors, and the Sword of Tyrfing
This temple stands in ruins, from wars of ancient times
Forgotten in the darkness, where the moon no longer shines
This land is torn asunder, the skies engulfed in gloom
Dark Magus rising, bringing forth eternal doom
You may boast of your prowess
your art with swords and magic alike
but your strength is inconsequential
Your victories over mortal foes have inflated your egos
blinding you to the reality that awaits
It's not your mortal adversaries you should fear
it's the monsters that lurk in the shadows of the unknown.
It's facing your demons
in the burning temple of Dur
