Born in the ancient land of Pella
Raised with the blessings of the Gods
Destined for glory and for greatness
The son of Zeus is standing tall
We’re hailing from heaven
A force of domination
Divine, superior
With steel we fight damnation
With fire and vengeance
We fight this war of legends
For glory and valor
The swords will crush in battle
Chorus:
Macedon
Almighty warrior
Your time has begun
Macedon
Your legend is growing
Your stories will always be told
United we’re standing
With heart and steel we’re fighting
Our legions are roaring
We’re Gods we’re Bound For Glory
The great one is leading
This quest of glory seeking
Our fates are determined
Our victory embedding
Chorus:
Macedon
Almighty warrior
Your time has begun
Macedon
Your legend is growing
Your stories will always be told

Gordian Knot

In the palace of Phrygia
There lays the eternal riddle
Many kings have tried to solve it
But it’s too tight, they tried but they failed
Chorus:
Mystery lays
Here in the Gordian Knot
Blade by the fire
He cut the Gordian Knot
In the palace of Phrygia
Despair has come, the riddle stands stronger
Many kings have tried to solve it
Mind over might Alexander has spoken
Chorus:
Mystery lays
Here in the Gordian Knot
Blade by the fire
He cut the Gordian Knot

Blood

Blood makes the earth to grow
It’s food for the Gods below
The force that leads the human race
To war, devastation and pain …
We march on the Persian grounds
With blood on our hands and mouths
Conquering, killing making history
In countries completely unknown
Bridge:
With blood we’re brought to life
With blood we shall die
With blood our enemies are won
With blood we’ll live again
With blood we’ll be divine
With blood we’ll conquer all the world
Chorus:
Spill the blood
Strike faster than the speed of light
Spill the blood
That’s running through my veins
Spill the blood
Death is just another path
Spill the blood
Eternal life awaits
Blood makes the world to rise
With thundering battle cries
Blood is the drink that heals our thirst
When our enemies run for their lives
Blood makes the earth to grow
It’s food for the Gods below
The force that leads the human race
To war, devastation and pain …
Bridge:
With blood we’re brought to life
With blood we shall die
With blood our enemies are won
With blood we’ll live again
With blood we’ll be divine
With blood we’ll conquer all the world
Chorus:
Spill the blood
Strike faster than the speed of light
Spill the blood
That’s running through my veins
Spill the blood
Death is just another path
Spill the blood
Eternal life awaits

We march with pride
We march with honor
Ready to face
Our enemy’s hordes
For the barbarians
There is no tomorrow
They will be slayed
They will not see the dawn
Chorus:
The Persians will fall
The Persians will fall
In the land of Gaugamela
The Persians will fall
We will drink their blood
We will cut their throats
We are Macedonian warriors
We are semi Gods
We are Macedonian warriors
We are semi Gods
Thundering blasts
In the field of battle
Blood, fire and death
In the heat of the dawn
The Persians fall
Like a paper tower
Our armies march
The triumph calls
Chorus:
The Persians will fall
The Persians will fall
In the land of Gaugamela
The Persians will fall
We will drink their blood
We will cut their throats
We are Macedonian warriors
We are semi Gods
We are Macedonian warriors
We are semi Gods
We are Heavy Metal warriors we are ready to die …

The sky is burning
We march reigning
The earth is trembling
We ride through the afterdark
The screams spreading
And dark fear is hailing
The death is waiting
It’s the dawn of the conqueror
Chorus:
Persepolis
Persepolis
Persepolis
Necropolis
The city lays in flames
On the ashes lays
The city lies in flames
On the ashes lays
Bridge:
Still the fire burning
The castle walls are falling
In the darkness fading
All the screams and preys
Still the fire burning
The castle walls are falling
In the darkness fading
All the screams and preys
Through the fire we ride
And through the ashes we rise
Spreading death and fear
We bring the apocalypse
The blood’s flowing
And heads rolling
The souls falling
Into the underworld
Chorus:
Persepolis
Persepolis
Persepolis
Necropolis
The city lays in flames
On the ashes lays
The city lies in flames
On the ashes lays
Bridge:
Still the fire burning
The castle walls are falling
In the darkness fading
All the screams and preys
Still the fire burning
The castle walls are falling
In the darkness fading
All the screams and preys

Climbing to the mountain of doom
Fly with our steel like there’s no tomorrow
With no wings we ride through the sky
Sons of Hermes we are flying together
Chorus:
Oh oh they’re called the warriors with wings
Oh oh they’re angels riding the wind
Oh oh they’re called the warriors with wings
Oh oh they’re angels riding the wind
Men of steel are riding through the air
Winning our battles without even fighting
We are the warriors with wings
Standing proud at the top of the mountain
Chorus:
Oh oh they’re called the warriors with wings
Oh oh they’re angels riding the wind
Oh oh they’re called the warriors with wings
Oh oh they’re angels riding the wind

Spread your wings and fly
Gurdians of the sky
Spread your wings and fly
Gurdians of the sky
Spread your wings and fly …
Chorus:
Oh oh they’re called the warriors with wings
Oh oh they’re angels riding the wind
Oh oh they’re called the warriors with wings
Oh oh they’re angels riding the wind

Hephaestion

|
Oh Gods can you hear my cries
My heart has been filled with sorrow
I mourn cause my friend is dead
I feel like theirs is no tomorrow
Oh bring the ashes cover my hair
Oh I am cursed with total despair
Chorus:
Oh as his soul is sailing away
We kneel we mourn and we pray
As the soil covers his grave
Our memories sail with the waves
Set us free from the grief and the pain
And glory forever his name
Set us free from the grief and the pain
And glory forever his name
As death comes and hunts my mind
My dreams have been turned to nightmares
My brother will always live
Like a vision of roaring fire
Oh bring the ashes cover my hair
Oh I am cursed with total despair
Chorus:
Oh as his soul is sailing away
We kneel we mourn and we pray
As the soil covers his grave
Our memories sail with the waves
Set us free from the grief and the pain
And glory forever his name
Set us free from the grief and the pain
And glory forever his name

Final Day
05:00
|
|||
|
The edge of the known world
Into Babylon
Fever is burning
The end is near
So many things at stake
So many ways to live
The underworld’s calling
Calling me
Bridge:
Still I want to carry on
And live another day
Still I need to fight on
Through the night
Chorus:
It’s the final, the final warning
It’s the final, the final day
As I die, Hade’s laugh is heard
My kingdom now is lost
Soon all will be gone
The end is coming
My last breath is near
Empire is falling
Falling down
My life is fading
I’m falling in darkness
The spirit is rising
Rising high
Bridge:
Still I want to carry on
And live another day
Still I need to fight on
Through the night
Chorus:
It’s the final, the final warning
It’s the final, the final day
As I die, Hade’s laugh is heard
My kingdom now is lost
Soon all will be gone

Born in the ancient land of Pella
Raised with the blessings of the Gods
Destined for glory and for greatness
The son of Zeus is standing tall
He is the greatest of the greats
A God among the mortal men
Ruler of all Hellenic kingdoms
Ready to answer the Persian threat
Bridge:
Search through the ages of mankind
Know that the legends never die
Search through the ages of mankind
Know that the legends never die
Marching across the Asian empires
Conquering nations at his will
Nobody dares to face him over
Everyone bows down to his feet
He is the legendary great one
The mightiest king in history
His name will never been forgotten
He lives inside our memory
Bridge:
Search through the ages of mankind
Know that the legends never die
Search through the ages of mankind
Know that the legends never die

Setting aside the Dark Souls theme, because it's been noted at length in the comments. THESE SONGS FUCKING RIP. They would do so if I didn't know anything about the material that inspired it. It's just damn good Power Metal. \m/ASHEN ONE THIS WORLD IS DYING \m/
