SABATON LYRICS

1. Introduction

2. Hellrider

Engines are running our blood burns like oil. Head one by
One down the highway
Tires are screaming leave trails on the road, the sirens of
Death coming our way

We’ll always be one step ahead, we’ll not fall back

Pedal to metal rock hard and ride free, the philosophy of a
Rider
Don’t use the brakes ride on faster instead, adrenaline
Taking you higher

Fall back in line or stand away, we like it fast

Into hell we ride fast as lightning, enter the darkness
The weak ones will pay
Ride through fire cause revolution, this is a hellrider’s way

Crushing the traitors to no man we kneel, the power is at
Our command
Nothing can stop us it’s head over heel, united together
We stand

If it’s to hard then you’re too weak, you’re in our way

Engines are running our blood burns like oil. Head one by
One down the highway
Tires are screaming leave trails on the road, the sirens of
Death heading our way

If you ain’t tough enough to play, get out our way

3. Endless Nights

Clouds are gathering in the darkness. Lightning strikes the
Earth. Evil forces celebrate Lucifer’s rebirth
Necromancers, sacrifices, he’ll be here for sure.
Drained blood from a thousand men, and now he’s back for more.

He will rise from a world down under
Bringing fire, plague, death and thunder
Summons creatures unknown to mankind
Demons of the past

Unholy rites. Assassins from hell
Cold endless nights upon us fell
The storm strikes our land with madness and pain
Winds of the damned drives us insane

Satan’s hordes are coming closer, now it’s time to pay
Riding on the wings of death searching for their prey
Now the time has come for mankind to prove strong or fall
Fighting against unholy creatures spawned in Satan’s hall

Trapped in hellfire he was burned
Once locked up but the wind has turned
Seeking vengeance in pain and slaughter
Back on earth again

Demons marked with the five-edged star
Haunt our dreams in this endless war
Killing children and raping women
Now it’s time to die

4. Metalizer

We live for the magic in the sound, distorted guitars are
Breaking ground
The drum pounding faster than my heart, the vocals are
screaming extreme art
The passion for metal drives us forth, the best heavy metal
comes from north
The powerful tunes, spectacular shows, the audience
screams in ecstasy

Metal, Metal
Back with the vengeance
Metal, Metal
All that I need is heavy metal
Metal
Screaming together
Metal, Metal
Metal is all that I need

While hell bends for leather we stand strong, a rocker
can party all night long
the school couldn’t teach us rock’ n roll, the school
couldn’t help us reach our goal
We live for the magic in the sound, distorted guitars are
Breaking ground
The powerful tunes, spectacular shows, the audience
Screams in ecstasy

5. Burn Your Crosses

No use to pray, there’s no one listening
I will die anyway.
Some say I’ve killed, some call me Satan
Now my blood must be spilled.

I’m sentenced for crimes I did not commit
I’ll pay with my blood, is this really it?
Creations of God? No way!

Burn your crosses, make way for science
Christ has only caused death and violence
Burn your crosses and make way for yourself
Put faith in mother earth.

Don’t call his name, don’t trust in others
Bishops fighting for fame.
Torture in vain. I won’t surrender
Purified by pain.

Mankind’s great mistake was to create God
Creation of man. Excuse to spill blood.
Creations of God? No way!

No use to pray, there’s no one listening
I will die anyway.
Leaving this place the end is near now
Dying ain’t no disgrace.

My last night alive has come to an end
Death once I feared, but now it’s my friend.
Creation of God? No way!

Burned my crosses, make way for science
Christ will only cause death and violence
Burned my crosses and made way for myself
In mother earth I trust.

NOW BURN!

6. The Hammer Has Fallen

Here I am standing, darkness all around.
Thinking of past, taken my last breath, the air is cold as ice
No one close to hear my voice
Did not leave me with a choice
Heaven will you wait for me?

Will I find a way, will I find a place
Will you let me go in peace
Will I find a way to the other side.

Sad are memories from the life I lived
Cannot go on, cannot go further
I has to end right here
For the things that I have done
All the girls I lost and won
Let me rest in peace at last

Will I find a way, will I find a place
Will you let me go in peace
Leave behind those dark days
No I ask again will you hear my cries
Then you realize why oh why
I must find a way to the other side.

Hear them whisper calling out my name
The sentences is set, the hammer has fallen
I have paid the price
Sad to realize to late death was meant to be my fate
All this pain will follow me.

7. Hail To The King

Once we lived in harmony, but it seems so distance now.
Even though it wasn’t long ago, were all doomed to
Plague and death. Working hard from dawn ‘til dusk. but
That ain’t enough for him Product of unholy love, untrue
Brother of a king.

Know that you’ll fail, now hear us hail
Your brother that you killed.

Hail to the king that brought peace to us all. Rise from
Your grave, hear our call. We’ll not forget that you once
Saved our land. Killed by your own brothers hand.

Pure evil and cruelty, the true nature of your soul.
Mercy and responsibility, words that you can’t understand.
Your quest for total control will only end in your own fall.
We’ will fight for our freedom, and our right to live.

Do it your way, soon you will pay
Debts with your own blood.

Stars so bright, dance in the night
Day come soon, hide the moon
Stars so bright dance in the night
Day come soon, killing the moon

Morning breaks it’s time to march, to the castle of betrayal.
Bring your sword, wield your armour, we won’t take this anymore.
Kill the tyrant he must die, for his falseness and his crimes.
Strike him down, and slay his guards, and his ministers as well.

Done it your way, now you will pay
Debts with your own blood.

Hail to the king!

8. Shadows

Facing the wind as they ride through the sky
Shadows of Mordor black horses they fly
Black shadow king, find the ring.

Search for the Halfling you lords of the dark
The hobbit with Sauron's ring he is your mark
Unholy light, in the night

Black knights of Sauron
You’re made of iron
Black shadows of Mordor
Wield one-eyed shields

Unholy ring wraiths with armour of steel
Kings of the past to no one you kneel
Hearts filled with hate, that’s your fate.

Facing the wind as they ride through the sky
Shadows of Mordor black horses they fly
Ride shadow king, find the ring.

9. Thunderstorm

Crack in the distance, a flash in the sky
It’s getting dark, clouds gather power
You heard it coming from over the hill
It’s time to run, time to seek cover.

Now there is no hideaway
And you have no chance
Thor and his hammer are riding his chariots of storm

Breaking the silence with powerful roars
Wind gaining strength, screaming tornado
First wave is over, don’t hold back your breath
It sure coming back, second attack

Now there is no hideaway
And you have no chance
The sky is on fire the heavens are burning in flames

THUNDER
THUNDER
STRIKING
THUNDER

A cold rain is falling, a lightning strikes down
Distance is dark, horizon is frightening
Massive strong lightning’s are shaking the ground
Thor is upset, out slaying giants

Now there is no hideaway
And you have no chance
Thor and his hammer are out slaying giants tonight.

10. Masters Of The World

We’re a small crowd left to rotten, there’s not many hard souls left
As the pop is growing stronger, will metal fade away

Will we be broken, will we go down?

No! We’ll never fall we’re the masters of the world
Get up let’s break those chains now and party all night long
No! We’ll never fall we’re the masters of the world
Get up let’s break those chains now and party all night long

As I’m tweaking with my radio, there’s disco everywhere
When I turn on my big TV, is hip hop what I want to see?

Have we been broken, did we go down?

11. Guten Nacht

[bonus track]

12. Birds Of War

[bonus track]

The priesthood is trembling
the five knights of light has betrayed mankind
Now known as the dark ones
we strike down on earth with powers from hell

We ride on the wind we ride through the sky
like unholy birds of war we fly
we bring agony and insanity
Once blessed by the light now serving the night
and soon cursed by every man on earth
We follow our lust, in no god we trust

Come join us
Leave this world behind and you will find satisfaction
fight on our side you cannot hide from us forever more

Once greeted as heroes
now treated as foes wherever we go
Recruiting more warriors
the hordes of undead march on our command

Now mankind will pay from this very day
every man on earth will curse his birth
We spread fear and pain resistance in vain
We march in the dark your kind is our mark
avoid the daylight in dark we fight
We'll control your souls you'll end up like ghouls
