Ballad
There were the wind shakes the earth
we forge our swords,
there where the thunder cracks the rock
we sharp our blades,
waving gory red steel,
shine bright for us!
Our ballad we begin,
c'mon! Join us!
Through decaying villages
we wander thirsty of blood,
seeking firstlings to devour,
farmers, we plunder,
and with their daughters
you know what we do...
our ballad we begin,
c'mon! Join us too!
Defeat all dirty villains,
rip the throats of murderers,
the ballad has already started,
no one can stop the bloodbath.
Raise your father's gift
the sword of the kings,
raise it high to your foes,
stand and swear vengeance.
Use your heart to believe,
be a man not a whimp,
now your ballad you begin,
fulfill your duty!
Hero
There was a land far far away
where no one did command or bow or pray,
but one day evil came in the vest of a knight,
just one man, proud and brave, did stand and fight
Hero is the one who fears, the one who loves and believes,
and in the end, despite defeat, we shall keep his deeds
He had no power, he was just a man
but he gave his life for his family and friends,
his sacrfice soothed evil hail
and for ten thousand years people have told his tale
Hero is the one who fears, the one who loves and believes,
and in the end, despite defeat, we shall keep his deeds
Lionheart
The lion runs in the savannah
protecting his kingdom from the fury of the kings,
attacked in turn by the princes that
wanted his throne all for themselves
Run on the dunes, against the wind,
run on the rocks roaring at the sun,
run, run, lionheart!
Cross the dimple of the river of hope,
conquer the battalion of the humble Gods,
fight for the crown, fight for freedom,
run, run, lionheart!
Run on the dunes, against the wind,
run on the rocks roaring at the sun,
run, run, lionheart!
Run thougthless, follow your heart,
the heart of a lion who fights for his life
protecting his kingdom from the fury of the kings,
attacked in turn by the princes that
wanted his throne all for themselves
Run on the dunes, against the wind,
run on the rocks roaring at the sun,
run, run, lionheart!
Cross the dimple of the river of hope,
conquer the battalion of the humble Gods,
fight for the crown, fight for freedom,
run, run, lionheart!
Run on the dunes, against the wind,
run on the rocks roaring at the sun,
run, run, lionheart!
Run thougthless, follow your heart,
the heart of a lion who fights for his life
Red Dragon
Ride to the sun, yellow and red,
and then you will come
to the shore of the dragons
oh oh
His sight, stern and strong,
but the master you will be,
king of kings
of the dragons
oh oh oh oh
CHORUS:
Ride the Red Dragon
in the sky
and at dawn you will come,
with the fire of his breath
all the villains he will burn!
With your sword and claw
the dark knight you will find,
and the blade you will wield
on his chest you will rage!
In your winter cave you'll shelter
waiting for the night with eyes of death,
the flame burns in your womb,
the Red Dragon sleeps
but soon he'll awake!
CHORUS
His sight stern and strong
but he bows before you,
the king of the dragons you will ride
and the comets you will fly
Yellow and red is the spark
of the fire that broke out,
the big bang is the signal,
if it's life or death you'll see
The Last of the Giants
Ooooooh, I am the last of the giants, my people are gone from the earth.
The last of the great mountain giants, who ruled all the world at my birth.
Oh, the smallfolk have stolen my forests, they’ve stolen my rivers and hills...
And they’ve built a great wall through my valleys, and fished all the fish from my rills.
In stone halls they bum their great fires, in stone halls they forge their sharp spears.
Whilst I walk alone in the mountains, with no true companion but tears.
They hunt me with dogs in the daylight, they hunt me with torches by night.
For these men who are small can never stand tall, whilst giants still walk in the light.
Ooooooh, I am the last of the giants, so learn well the words of my song.
For when I am gone the singing will fade, and the silence shall last long and long.
The Power of the Knights
When the lights
begin to raise
and the stars
are falling down
A white horse
rears up
on the hills
our kingdom starts the march
the march
our kingdom
our kingdom
Start the battle
and kill your enemies
wave thy sword
and run away
Run to help
and save the king
run for kingdom
and humanity
Is afraid
the sweet child
while his father
leaves his mother
When the thunders
hail the king
the courage of the knights
the honor of the knights
the power of the knights
hail
hail the king
The Song of the Seven
The Father’s face is stern and strong, he sits and judges right from wrong.
He weighs our lives, the short and long, and loves the little children.
The Mother gives the gift of life, and watches over every wife.
Her gentle smile ends all strife, and she loves her little children.
The Warrior stands before the foe, protecting us where e’er we go.
With sword and shield and spear and bow, he guards the little children.
The Crone is very wise and old, and sees our fates as they unfold.
She lifts her lamp of shining gold, to lead the little children.
The Smith, he labors day and night, to put the world of men to right.
With hammer, plow, and fire bright, he builds for little children.
The Maiden dances through the sky, she lives in every lover’s sigh,
Her smiles teach the birds to fly, and give dreams to little children.
The Seven Gods who made us all, are listening if we should call.
So close your eyes, you shall not fall, they see you, little children,
fust close your eyes, you shall not fall, they see you, little children.
The True Way
Follow the only way,
the only way to live
and long live for you,
my lord, remember
The way is the one of Metal,
of the True Heavy Metal
your blade you will forge
and your enemies you'll defeat!
CHORUS:
La fiera lancia è accanto a te,
il destriero cavalcherai,
tu col drago brucerai
l'ombra e l'inganno!
Il Vero Metal è per te
la sola e unica via,
perciò mio alleato
l'oscuro sconfiggerai!
Arduous is the fight,
my fierce and highest knight,
but your destiny
is not behind you
Look for it with your heart,
conquer it with your honor,
full of Metal your heart will be,
a heart of steel, fuck!
CHORUS
Lay down your weapons
just when you want it,
never get commanded,
resist to the power
My fierce and highest knight,
a long life you will get
with no regret
and no injustice
Lay down your weapons
just when you want it,
accept everything
the Way will teach you!
True Metal Will Never Die
A stroke in the night, the bells of the path,
the sad company of our lord,
lights are fading on the town's streets,
thunder the steps of his proud steed.
Light he'll bring soon,
but, for now, dark ages.
When the flame will burn
and the country will hail
a fierce and highest knight,
his sword for us he will raise,
and joy and life for us all,
to faith and glory he will lead us.
The death of darkness
new life and joy will shine,
wait for me, my friend,
I follow your steps and I trust you.
Be careful, my friend,
the road is long and impervious,
don't get lost
in a dark alley.
Hear my hail! Hold thy sword!
Follow your destiny
to the mighty death!
The death of darkness
new life and joy will shine,
wait for me, my friend,
I follow your steps and I trust you.
Life and joy always rule,
our hearts free and pure.
Against fear we fight!
And for metal we die!
