In Service and War

War!
In service,
To uphold this land
Steadfast in arms,
Kings the warring hand,
Endless green hills
Valleys deep
Albion's grace is well worth its keep
In, service and War
Together we stand
For our king and our land
In war
In defence of the realm
On bastion and battlement
Broken shield, battered helm
Over fields and foothills
Sharp swords held high
For duty and death
In our path you will die
In, service and War
Together we stand
For our king and our land
Death,
A fortune of war
Blood soaked earth
Enriched fertile soil
Life's endless cycle
It feeds on your corpse
Service ends in the grave
No room for remorse

The Sky Rains Fire
03:59
|
|||
From red blazen sky
Winged death up on high
Fire and ash
Consume all in sight
From behind burning walls
The weak cower and die
Crimson glow of distant holocaust
Heeds warning of the end of our days
A Drake of utter ruin and despair
Comes forth from lands unknown,
To take from us this land, our home.
The sky rains fire!
In death and in flame
We will make our stand
Albion will not fall
By bow and blade
With steel and Yew
This dread beast will die
The sky rains fire!
The dread beast will fall!

Bonum est Gladio Mori

There is Honour in death
To die by righteous hand
We wage holy war
Seek glory untold
We still draw breath
And have not lost all strength
The clash and sword and shield
Be our song and serenade
To have honour in life
Is to wield wood and steel
Fight and die side by side
With brothers in arms
Clad in leather and mail
Banner held aloft
Our colours fly high
Warriors in life and death
No fear we feel
No need for hasted flight
Look your foe in their eyes
You blade is drawn
Oaths are upheld
On the fields of war
To protect cottage and castle
To have honour in life
Is to wield wood and steel
Fight and die side by side
With brothers in arms
Clad in leather and mail
Banner held aloft
Warriors in life and death
There is Honour in death
To die by righteous hand
We wage holy war
Seek glory untold
We still draw breath
And have not lost all strength
The clash and sword and shield
Be our song and serenade

Towers of stone mortar, Held firm for many ages symbols of men and kings long past will eventually crumble, break and shatter
Empires of flint and steel Wain and creek in the ever present flowing of time once blood and blade upheld the realm now it falls to squabble and division
Loyalty and honour, worthless in the eyes of the betrayers even in our dying days some still stand and fight.

The Might of Malice
04:14
|
|||
By the grace of blood,
pouring from me
Hate impending,
spreads forth and plagues our lands
Night everlasting,
Terror springs forth from the darkness
Malice comes incarnate,
Fire and force when will it cease
It knows, not fear,
It knows, not love,
It seeks only death
And destruction
The heart of fire,
Tears through stone built towers
Burning all it can
In its blackened eyes
All life is forfeit
Reaping fire and ash
It knows, not fear
It knows, not love,
It seeks only death
And destruction
|

Against the darkness,
Dim fires flicker and glow,
On the ashen field of battle,
Dead lies our foe,
Victory, at what cost.
Lives are in ruins,
But it's cinders still burn hot.
Death incarnate,
Finally has its sleep
Those left, rebuild what is left of the keep,
No time to mourn our fallen kin
No time to dwell,
The night is at its end.
The scars of war,
wounds run deep
The mind reels in horror
Terror rids us of sleep.
The scars of war, wounds run deep The mind reels in horror Terror rids us of sleep.
