Ride for Ruin (feat. Jeff Loomis)
<v>
The Riders of Rohan,
with horses strong and fleet,
We ride with purpose,
Our enemies we’ll defeat,
From Edoras we come
with a thundering sound,
Our horses galloping
and shaking the ground,
<pc>
Dire deeds awake:
Fire and Slaughter!
Let horse be bridled,
Ride now, ride now!
<c>
Arise, Riders of Rohan
Let your strength and power be known
Ride now! Ride for ruin and the world's ending.
Ride forth, Eorlingas
<v>
Eomer’s leading with
his blade gleaming bright,
We ride with honor
into the darkest of night.
With swords and bows,
We charge into the fray,
The Riders of Rohan,
We’ll never betray.
<pc>
Dire deeds awake:
Fire and Slaughter!
Let horse be bridled,
Ride now, ride now!
<c>
Arise, Riders of Rohan
Let your strength and power be known
Ride now! Ride for ruin and the world's ending.
Ride forth, Eorlingas
<solo - Jeff Loomis>
<pc>
Dire deeds awake:
Fire and Slaughter!
Let horse be bridled,
Ride now, ride now!
<c> x2
Arise, Riders of Rohan
Let your strength and power be known
Ride now! Ride for ruin and the world's ending.
Ride forth, Eorlingas

Greedy dealers
Are hunting for souls
Kings and bishops
Conspire to enslave us all!

Now we rise
For we are legion
Charge and defy
For we are

Steelclad
In union we stand
Steelclad
Under the Thundermark!

Smiling demons
They profit from misery
War and treason
Oppressors, your reign comes to an end!

Now we ride
For we are legion
Charge and defy
For we are

Reforged
<c>
Soul of the Blade
Forged by dwarven hand
Wielded by Kings
Who Brought down the Crown and the Ring
Narsil
Was thy name
Bound to be heard across the land
Reforged
Anduril
Flame of the West
Burn and sing
For your blade
Was reborn
To be drawn
By the King of Kings
<v>
Old is my story
When legends whispered
and the air held the scent of steel
There rested a sword,
More than metal, a Kingdom's claim to valor
Through the ages heard
Narsil gleamed bright
in the Last Alliance's fight,
But shadows crept
As hope shattered fast
Beneath Elendil, the blade broke and fell,
A symbol of loss in the land's dark spell!
<c2>
Soul of the Blade
Forged by dwarven hand
Wielded by Kings
Who Brought down the Crown and the Ring
Narsil
Was thy name
Bound to be heard across the land
Opposed
The Dark Lord
Isildur
Wielding the shard,
Victory
Was bittersweet,
For the blade was scarred,
Reborn
Andúril
Flame of the West
Burn and sing
For your blade
Was reforged
To be drawn again
<v>
Centuries had passed,
And Destiny reclaimed
her blade to reign again
Through the War of the Ring,
A King’s Right seeks to be
Restored
<bridge>
Reborn
Anduril
Flame of the West
Burn and sing
Your heart
Was reforged
To be drawn
By The King of Kings!
<c3>
Red and White Flames
Burn in your blade
Alive in our minds
As ancient lore
Your legend
Through the ages sung
We celebrate thy praises now
Reforged
Anduril
Flame of the West
Burn and sing
For your blade
To be drawn
By the King of Kings

The Sailor on the Seas of Fate
<v1>
Sworn, I was sworn
To protect my realm and my land
But the Gods laughed at me
by destroying all what I had
To my quest I was sent
By my fate
In my path to Loundra
I was lost
What's this place?
<v2>
Pulled by no wind
Now we sail through the Seas of Fate
Four, four as one
We burn Agak down to the ground!
Though my Quest
Is not lost
I shall stay true to my course
in the search of my sons
I must find Tanelorn
<prechours>
So vast and mystical
A citadel of dreams
<c1>
Am I alone?
Who plays the strings of fate?
Will I return?
Or will I die again?
<solos - Javier Estrada, Vance Simmons>
<bridge>
But now
I can see
I arrived
to the end of my quest
I am home
With my dreams
I am home
<c2>
In Tanelorn
I chased my dreams
and found my home
Where I will lay in peace
In Tanelorn
I found my own soul
My dream lives on
But my quest ends here for me

Time of Contempt
<v>
In distant mountains, visions of worlds collide
Ashes shadowing eventide
Can you hear the loud crashing sound
Of Castle walls being burned to the ground?
Our Doom heave in sight
Last candle consumed by light
The Last empire burning in the night
<c>
A kingdom has fallen
Crumbled into broken dreams,
Torn apart beneath the seams,
Brave warriors forgotten
Buried shields, mangled spears
Through the ages they’re redeemed
<v>
Ruins lay before us of kingdoms no more
Stories are told of an ancient lore
Idylls of Kings who gave battle their all.
The War of Ages,
ALL KINGDOMS IN TIME WILL FALL!
Forevermore their story the bards do tell
Of great empires that all eventually fell
<c>
A kingdom has fallen
Crumbled into broken dreams,
Torn apart beneath the seams,
Brave warriors forgotten
Buried shields, mangled spears
Through the ages they’re redeemed
<c>
A kingdom has fallen
Crumbled into broken dreams,
Torn apart beneath the seams,
Brave warriors forgotten
Buried shields, mangled spears
Through the ages they’re redeemed

Gates of Miklagard
<v1>
We heard Tsargrad’s call from across the falls.
Onto perilous journey, we’ll never fade.
Our ship set its course and the rapids laughed at us
while sailing through the land of the Rus’
<v2>
With sword in hand, we defend our land
Our courage we shall prevail
Across a hundred battles we lost our friends
We’ll remember our brothers to the very end
<c1>
Open thy Gates
Open thy Gates for us to see
Open Thy Gates
Miklagard the Great
(repeat 2 X)
With Steel in hand
We will defend our pledge
and in Glory we stand
BRIDGE (after instrumental)
With Steel
We will defend our pledge
For Miklagard the Great
Always loyal
Always true
We will defend you
until
<c2>
Open Thy Gates
(Our last breath)
City of Dreams
Open Thy Gates
Miklagard the Great
City of Queens
Open Thy Gates for us to see
Open Thy Gates
Miklagard the Great
Open thy Gates
Open thy Gates for us to see
Open Thy Gates
With Steel in hand
We will defend our pledge
And in Glory we Stand
Miklagard the Great

The Fall of Asterius
Lyrics: Jeff Stark
<v>
In ancient Crete, there lived a king
Named Minos, feared by everything
He's the son of Zeus, a godly bloodline
His strength and wisdom, unmatched in kind
He held the power of life and death
And challenged gods with every breath
<c>
Minos and the Minotaur
A tale of blood and of gore
In a labyrinth of fear and pain
A monster to forever reign
<v>
The Minotaur, half-man, half-beast
A curse on Minos, such a gruesome feast
Seven youths and maidens sent
to meet their doom, their lives soon spent
He was born of a curse
A punishment from the gods, so perverse
<c>
Minos and the Minotaur
A tale of blood and of gore
In a labyrinth of fear and pain
A monster to forever reign
<b>
Theseus, son of Athenâ’s king
Came to slay the beast, to end its sting
With sword in hand, he braved the maze
And battled fiercely unfazed
<solo - Vance Simmons>
<c> x2
Minos and the Minotaur
A tale of blood and of gore
In a labyrinth of fear and pain
A monster to forever reign
