Road
 
Verse 1
 
Walkin on a road to nowhere.
Emotions raw, they change like the weather.
Sun shines high above.
Enemies within, burn through his skin
 
He seeks, the truth of his tortured youth.
 
Strangers step aside as he passes them by.
A father whispers son don't, look in his eyes.
A fire burns in the distance.
Just another one horse town
 
Finds a place to quench his thirst, always  the same people disperse.
 
Chorus 1
 
And when his time in this world is through, he leaves behind a path paved by truth.
Sure as the stong winds blows, over the sea.
He will embrace his destiny.
 
Verse 2
 
Tears roll down, boil on his skin.
The vengeance that he seeks, burns from within.
One more try, out of desperation.
Will he ever find salvation.
 

Chorus 2
 
You held his hand through the wind and rain.
A warm embrace, to ease the pain.
Through troubled times my freind you were always there.
 
Solo
 
Bridge
 
He takes another round, ambitions lost forevermore
He makes no sound.
As his world comes crashing
down around
his last few words they still ring clear
All i needed was love

Nailed To His Spine
 

Verse 1


Born and raised on a battlefield.
His father taught him the riddle of steel.
Said not a man or beast, can you ever trust.
But with this my son,  it takes just one thrust.

He came from a place in the bleakest north.
At the age of 10, his father said go forth.
if you wanna survive in this miserable place.
Pray to the gods above.
Don't trust the human race.

A body of steel, his life nailed to his spine.
He learned the beauty , of woman and wine.
Sword in his fist sings a song through the air.
One on one no man  on earth could ever compare.

He was taken as a prisoner by the cult of doom.
Enslaved and chained in the dungeons gloom.
He made a promise, until the worlds end.
grant me one wish, bloody revenge.
 

Chorus 1


A flash, of light.
And the chains that bind were broken.
A strange voice in the distance calls, follow me if you wanna be free.
Leads him to an open door so he runs like hell free from his cell.
 
Solo
 
Bridge


Father hear my prayer.
Are you still out there ?
I've been missing you dearly.
He makes his way back home.
To the cave, there lies his fathers grave.
Feels a cold wind blow.
Power starts to grow.
Onward and upward to face his foe.
 
Verse 2


Sneeks into the castle of the cult of doom.
The masters saying prayers in the throne room.
I few small steps , a powerful thrust.
Straight through the heart his body lies in the dust.
 
Chorus 2


A flash, of light.
And the chants of doom have vanished.
Hears a voice in the distance call my son.
Your work is done.
Take the winding road to the south.
So he heads for the sun another battle won.

Every century a witch , shall be born.

God help every woman child and man. 

Fear and panic.Spread through the land. Run for your life.

 

2-  Queen Taramis awakes from a dream.

She can't believe the apparition she's seen.

Another woman the same as she.

With a twisted smile, it could'nt be .

She hears a voice in the room.

Her own reflections staring back through the gloom.

 

Salome  - “hello sweet Taramis, are you doing well?

I’m your sister Salome, released from hell.

Your time as queen, has ran it’s course.

Forgive me now, as i show no remorse"

 

Chorus 3

 

An icy finger runs down the queens spine.

A dreaded panic reversal of time.

She screams in pain but it's all in vain.

She's lost forever .

Salome casts her in the dungeons below.

Laughs at the queen no one will ever know.

She says my time has come to rule this land.

Darkness will last an eternity, you'll see.

 

Ha Ha

 

Taramis –”Somebody help me, please”

Rat Face Kane 

Verse 1


Conn he walks, the streets, of this evil city.
There's a man, he seeks, goes by the name, Rat face cane.
Stabbed in the back. Rat and his pack.
They left him to die without blinkin an eye.
An ongoin feud, times passin by.
One solution Rat must die.

 

Bridge 1


Word on the street from thieves in the know.
Rat's, drinkin in a bar, they call, the Death Row

 

Chorus 1


Makes his way through the crowded Den.
No woman allowed just men.
Flips a coin says "gimme a beer"
Smells a rat so near"
Shadows half stand, through the smokey gloom.
From drunken laughter to evil whispers.
The atmosphere changes all eyes, on Conn.

 

Rats Thug -


"Hey Rat, you got a visitor"
 

Bridge 2


Rat face cane with eyes as cold as ice, quick as a flash spins round and pulls a knife.
With the speed of a thundering train, but this time Conns too quick.
For Rat face cane.


Pre- Chorus


Rat's days are done
his men try to run

 

Chorus 2


Concentrate and listen to me, i don't forget my enemies.
You'd better sleep with one eye open.
Run now while you can.
Southern rats go forth, don't ever mess with a man from the north.
Keep a wide birth
nowhere like it on the earth
you're gonna have a mare
Burncross.

Beyond Black River

 

Verse 1
 
He see's the sunrise, in the distance, that's his cue.
Black river his destination.Blood boils in anticipation yeah .
 
Got a job as a mercenary.On the wild frontier.
Prowls the jungles by the river banks.
Smells the savages near.
 

Pre- Chorus
 
His men tremble with fear
The time for war is here.
Listen up brothers time to raise some hell

 

Chorus 1
 
War drums through the jungle thunder,
then silence falls, ready lads wait for my call.
Heads up it's time for battle.
 
Barbarian -


Come to me 'o' savages, let me smell your breath.
I'll split you're skulls straight to the teeth, send you to your death.
Bodies piled up high around him, one by one they fell.
He screamed his battle cry so high he shook the fires of hell.
Flashing blades like lightning, many heads did roll.
At the end of fighting, the battle takes it's toll.
 
Chorus 2
 
Many good men fell that day.
Blood spilled was not in vain.
 
And so he marches on to a brand new horizon, down the road.
Good memories but sadness still in his heart.
He can't ignore, the price of war.
 
Outro
 
Pass it on down the line.
Take no time.'
No trouble here,
You'd better stay clear.
