INTO BATTLE
We left our homes behind,
now we're following the wolves' trail.
Through the deepest forests,
beneath the stars we ride.
I can see the moon glowing red,
like the blood of warriors.
There's a prophecy,
that tonight many men will die.
The fire will burn forever,
in our passionate hearts.
Our destinies,
are calling us now...
We are ready to take their lives
Into battle we ride,
with Gods by our side.
We are strong,
and not afraid to die.
We have an urge to kill,
and our l*st for blood has to be fulfilled.
We'll fight til the end,
and send our enemies straight to Hell
Prominent leaders cast your swords in the wind,
as a sign of war.
Men prepare for death,
'cause we might never return
Blood will spill,
and heads will fall,
as the swords' sparkle,
lights the night.
The ground rumbles,
as we attack.
In the throes of rage,
we will fight.
The lightning's flash,
the thunder's roar,
will petrify the weak.
We'll show no mercy.
We'll kill them all.
We are sworn in the name of steel
Into battle we ride,
with Gods by our side.
We are strong,
and not afraid to die.
We have an urge to kill,
and our l*st for blood has to be fulfilled.
We'll fight til the end,
and send our enemies straight to Hell *

BATTLE SONG
Hear the sound of swords,
fulfill the night.
Feel the winds of death,
on your skin.
See the arrows fly,
flaming in the sky.
Hear the screams of men,
as they die
We won this battle,
with might and fearless hearts.
We came,
and we fulfilled our prophecy,
so now we shall march back,
towards our kingdom,
with heads up high,
and glimmering eyes.
We returned with our glory
Silence now falls,
upon this blood red field.
Vultures feasting,
with the flesh of dead bodies.
''This is a great moment,
for all of us,
but now it's time to head back home,
victorious''
We won this battle,
with might and fearless hearts.
We came,
and we fulfilled our prophecy,
so now we shall march back,
towards our kingdom,
with heads up high,
and glimmering eyes.
We returned with our glory *
