Northern Winds
War and carnage, Rain and thunder
Icy mountains, Dale of sadness
Savage nation, Death damnation
War creation, Domination
Spells of fire, Death desire
Flames go higher, Frost and dire
War and carnage, Rain and thunder
Icy mountains, Dale of sadness
Bridge:
I ride the winds, with chariots of steel
I ride the winds, with chariots of steel
With pride and thrill, I slay and I kill
I ride the winds, with chariots of steel
Chorus:
Northern Winds, In the Icewind Dale they ride
Northern Winds, of a black and deadly sky
Northern Winds, as the blood is running cold
Northern Winds, in this land we’re standing tall
Bridge:
I ride the winds, with chariots of steel
I ride the winds, with chariots of steel
With pride and thrill, I slay and I kill
I ride the winds, with chariots of steel
The snow turns red, with the blood of the dead
The snow turns red, with the blood of the dead
With swords and shield, I slay and I kill
With pride and thrill, the power I feel
Chorus:
Northern Winds, In the Icewind Dale they ride
Northern Winds, of a black and deadly sky
Northern Winds, as the blood is running cold
Northern Winds, in this land we’re standing tall

Flames Of War
Ready to fight warriors of evil
We’re gonna burn into the flames of war
The war is raging, savages are marching
We’re gonna burn into the flames of war
Bridge:
The swords are screaming into battle
Dead bodies fall into the ground
The flames burning and they’re flying
Higher and higher
Chorus:
We’ll burn into the flames of war
We’ll burn into the lake of fire
We’ll burn into the flames of war
Higher and higher … we’ll burn
Maybe we’ll fall, never drop our weapons
We’re gonna burn into the flames of war
The earth is shaking, blood is flowing colder
We’re gonna burn into the flames of war
Bridge:
The swords are screaming into battle
Dead bodies fall into the ground
The flames keep burning and they’re flying
Higher and higher
Chorus:
We’ll burn into the flames of war
We’ll burn into the lake of fire
We’ll burn into the flames of war
Higher and higher … we’ll burn

Savage King
I am the son of wolf
Undisputed king of the Northerns
I am the son of wolf
Undisputed king of the Northerns
Born into battle, and fed with the blood of the skull
Blood of the skull
Born into battle, and fed with the blood of the skull
Blood of the skull
Chorus:
The hammer of doom I carry
The weapon of magic runes
In Tempus I trust and prey
When orcs have our backs on the wall
Oh with our backs on the wall
Wulfgar the Savage King
Is the name I earned into battle
Wulfgar the Savage King
Is the name I earned into battle
Chorus:
The hammer of doom I carry
The weapon of magic runes
In Tempus I trust and prey
When orcs have our backs on the wall
Chorus:
The hammer of doom I carry
The weapon of magic runes
In Tempus I trust and prey
When orcs have our backs on the wall
The blood of the orcs is running
It’s running like mountain streams
My people with pride are fighting
With faith to the Savage King

Mithril Hall
Memories that come and go
Of a place I once called home
Now the only thing that’s left, Loneliness
So I march against all odds
Searching for the Mithril Hall
Wizards, monsters and men won’t make me fall
Its’ the price that I’ll pay for my home
Evil monsters and men won’t make me fall
It’s the path that I’ll take to find my home
Chorus:
In the golden walls of the Mithril Hall
Till the day I die I will fight with pride
In the golden walls of the Mithril Hall
Till the day I die for my home I’ll fight
A thousand years of pain and tears
In search of home on my own
The quest begins with hopes and dreams
In search of home on my own
Chorus:
In the golden walls of the Mithril Hall
Till the day I die I will fight with pride
In the golden walls of the Mithril Hall
Till the day I die for my home I’ll fight

The Crystal Shard
Beware of …
The Crystal Shard …
Beware of …
Beware of …
The Crystal Shard …
Beware of …
Blinded by riches and power
Voices have clouded his mind
Spells of darkness rule the night
Building an unholy army
Marching through fire and snow
Darkness falls upon the globe
Chorus:
In the night
Swords unite
Through the mist
Soldier beware of the beast
Spells are bringing the light
Fighting the demon Errtu
Trolls and goblins passing through
On to the top of the mountain
Spellbound by fire and steel
Fearless warriors never kneel
Chorus:
In the night
Swords unite
Through the mist
Soldier beware of the beast

The Halfling’s Gem
Diamond of power
A magical jewel
Forged under fire
The sun and the moon
Stolen by the Halfling lord
The gem of desires
Used for ruling people’s minds
By Regis the wise one
Bridge:
Hunted by the mighty
Assassin Entreri
Lurking in the fog
The shadows in the night
Murders blood and pain
The killer marching on
Torturing his way
For Regis’ magic stone
Chorus:
Dancing shadows will possess you in the middle of the night
When the call begins to reach your soul
The mind games are going strong
The mind games inside
At the heart of Halfling stone
Run fast die hard through the darkness
Demons dance in your soul
Run fast die hard through the darkness
Demons dance in your soul
Stolen by the Halfling lord
The gem of desires
Used for ruling people’s minds
By Regis the wise one
Bridge:
Hunted by the mighty
Assassin Entreri
Lurking in the fog
The shadows in the night
Murders blood and pain
The killer marching on
Torturing his way
For Regis’ magic stone
Chorus:
Dancing shadows will possess you in the middle of the night
When the call begins to reach your soul
The mind games are going strong
The mind games inside
At the heart of Halfling stone

Face The Storm
Icy cold, winterfall
Darkened souls inner growls
Chorus:
We face the storm, fight for our home
We face the storm, into the war
Thousand men, mortal hands
Swords and shields forgotten lands
Chorus:
We face the storm, fight for our home
We face the storm, into the war
Taste the air, taste the fear
Ripping flesh death is near
Chorus:
We face the storm, fight for our home
We face the storm, into the war
Lost dreams all those years
Flying to the seven seas
Perils gave us hope
Finding the sacred, keeping the oath

Outcast
Chorus:
Outcast, Outcast
Outcast and lost banned from his family ties
Outcast and lost leaving the homeland of lies
Outcast and lost banned from his family ties
Outcast and lost leaving the homeland of lies
Chorus:
Outcast, Outcast
Outcast and lost banned from his family’s ties
Outcast and lost leaving the homeland of lies
Outcast and lost riding not looking behind
Outcast and lost searching for his peace of mind
Fear the lonely drow,
Dressed in black
Into the shadows he’s running wild
Riding forever
Hiding from matriarchs
In the land of darkness
Life searching warrior
Riding forever
Cursed by the Spider Queen
The damnation spreading
Into the catacombs
Riding forever
Forged by his will to live
Burning bridges
With his life and his family
Riding forever

Been looking to expand my power metal collection a bit beyond the classics of HammerFall, Blind Guardian, et. al. Not disappointed by these guys in the least. A sound very much inspired by German and Swedish power metal greats imo.
