Riders of the Mark Here we ride, as this final battle comes Dawn fires our steel Red on this last ride to war Blood of these ancient lands Blood of the kings Courage and honour in death Death in my charge as we thunder through iron and bone Warriors bred to the land I see my home as it once was In days when the shadows were short Land of my fathers Meadows of tall grass shone Gold in the pale Autumn sun Land of my sons Where white flowers cover their graves Banners fly on the horizon Sons of Eorl Oath-bound our lances and swords Red eye upon us all Facing the night Brothers in arms at the end Mustered for war on this field as our allies fall Men of the West here to die I see my home as it once was In days when the shadows were short Land of my fathers Meadows of tall grass shone Gold in the pale Autumn sun Land of my sons Where white flowers cover their graves [orcish chants] Land of my fathers Meadows of tall grass shone Gold in the pale Autumn sun Land of my sons Where white flowers cover their graves Lords of war, death in our hearts this day Blood stains our steel Black on this last ride to war Death for these ancient lands Death for my king Brothers in arms at the end

Lightning splits the darkening sky Hordes gathered here waiting to die Around me faces set with fear Rain coming down - hiding the tears Steeling my nerve - my weapon is drawn Will any of us live to see the dawn? On this field As the clouds cry Feel no fear As this day I die On wings of death My enemies fly I will join them now As this day I die Rushing forward - muddy ground The dead rise up - a bloody mound My weapon strikes left and then strikes right Comrades dead and trampled in the fight Steeling my nerve - my weapon is drawn Will any of us live to see the dawn? On this field As the clouds cry Feel no fear As this day I die On wings of death My enemies fly I will join them now As this day I die As this day I die

The Atrocity 06:47
The icy winds of the plain rip through the air We are without food and thus without a care The aching hunger and lack of spoils Become entangled with desperation’s coils Glory or Death Riding - The beating of hoof beats on hard packed earth Charging - For death, blood and combat I have a thirst Killing - like a pack of rabid wolves on the hunt Bloodlust - We’re out seeking anyone to confront Glory or Death In the path of this, an innocent village is caught Chaos and pain and carnage are wrought The raping of women, the wasting of men The hate and the fear, no pillage or gain All the pain and death I witnessed Tangled up inside I sit on a lonely mountaintop And contemplate my pride I was a part of this In shame I hang my head As memories fill my mind And tears fall for the dead I witnessed the atrocity I sit back and an image fills my mind A strong man dying, elderly and kind My mentor’s words filled my ears as I rode “Remember always my son, the warrior’s code” I witnessed the atrocity

Blademaster 03:12
A dark figure in the distance Clad in armour of blackened steel He has come on a mission of vengeance To force his torturers to kneel None can face him and live Blademaster Steel at his side Blademaster Winds of hell you ride Blademaster Steel at his side Blademaster Facing his foes he gives no ground Ending their lives without a sound In his eyes there is no emotion Destined to fight – battle his devotion None can face him and live Blademaster Steel at his side Blademaster Winds of hell you ride Blademaster Steel at his side Blademaster ...Master of the blade

Six great walls surround the fortress tall Ranged in shadow ‘gainst the sky On the walls a figure stands alone Realising he is here to die Though the Nadir hordes fill the land, I will fight when they ride and I’ll stand Though the fires burn through the land Let a legend be wrought by my hand So the assault begins, warriors storming the wall But the defence is true (a legend stands with you) Bodies mounting, the arrows falling like rain (The Deathwalker waits) Though the Nadir hordes fill the land, I will fight when they ride and I’ll stand Though the fires burn through the land Let a legend be wrought by my hand Carnage on the Walls of Delnoch In the dying rays of a blood red sun Brothers in battle we’ll where we stand ‘midst the… Carnage on the Walls of Delnoch Six great walls surround the fortress tall Ranged in Shadow ‘gainst the sky On the walls a figure stands alone Realising he is still alive Though the Nadir hordes fill the land, I will fight when they ride and I’ll stand Though the fires burn through the land Let a legend be wrought by my hand Carnage on the Walls of Delnoch The sun sets on the Drenai Empire The sun sets forever

Stranger 03:52
Ashes The fire that burned inside of me A cold wind blows within me now I’ve banished warmth and kindness Walking a dark road, death close behind …without a sound Nightmares fill my dreams with horrors So I numb my mind - Looking into lifeless eyes Never standing in the light Ashes The fire that burned inside of me A cold wind blows within me now I’ve banished warmth and kindness Walking a dark road, death close behind …without a sound No redemption in this land of blood I’m the darkest stranger Murderer…Waylander Never standing in the light For salvation I will fight Stranger Waylander

Gellan’s lament Serenity flows through me A trail of blue so pure and calm I face my foes and take their lives and see them fall in death… a warrior, leader of men Now I lay down my life So much now lies at stake So many here rely on me For fate and pain and grief I Hail To the warriors at my side To those who fought and died A Curse To the source of all above Now hear my last lament Lament Battle is joined once again And I am old and tired The stench of war, the screams of pain Slaughter all around My final sacrifice at hand On this field I die So much now lies at stake So many here rely on me For fate and pain and grief I Hail To the warriors at my side To those who fought and died A Curse To the source of all above Now hear my last lament I have reached the end I have reached the end I fall

Burning with power in the storm-rent sky Thrust aloft and held up high From the forges of gods it came To rend the dark and win me fame Such deeds of slaughter it could tell Of souls it drank and sent to hell On the winds of battle I now fly And all who stand before me come to die To battle I must go now Conflict is all I know now To battle I must go now Conflict is all I know Behold the Runesword Armies of darkness rend the land And I shall lead them sword in hand None can face me or this fell blade That was with sorcery made A beacon of light in these dark times Foes now suffer for their crimes Sword arm rises, the false one cries See the power of the Runesword in my eyes To battle I must go now Conflict is all I know now To battle I must go now Conflict is all I know Behold the Runesword

A black shadow stalks the land The fires of heresy ignite the sky Whence gathered on the blasted plain The Scions prepared to die Slaughtered in their hundreds Order reduced to ruin Betrayed by fanatics Last refuge of the insane Two decades and from forest he came Celestial hatred in weak flesh entombed Will of malice tormenting man Yet open wounds in the Godhead burn To kill the one who remains Running and hiding Shrouded from view Exposed for what he is His pain begins anew Two decades and from forest he came Branded the liar, outlaw his name With his blade in hand and powers returned He runs no more, turns and stands To face the pursuers and battle the blind To restore true light to these shattered lands And the last Scion rides Back to the fields of slaughter he turns Barren wastes of ghostly presence To his fallen brothers he pledges his life Acclamations sung on the winds of the dead And the last Scion rides He seek the knowledge, he seeks the tower Restoring the faith and compounding his power For his mentor and charge he knows no other way This is his final hour, this – his last day And the last Scion rides A black shadow stalks the land The fires of heresy ignite the sky Whence gathered on the blasted plain The Scions prepared to die
