We will fight out our way, we will ride night and day and from evil our land will be saved!" Legions of light, raise high your fists, demons approach with deep blood lust Lord of the dark, your end has come Soon you will be expelled to hell your home! "For our lakes, our mountains, our green forests and plains, we swear we'll be victorious and brave! We will fight out our way, we will ride night and day and from evil our land will be saved! 3.Holy Forest (5:40) Crossing down the secret paths that led to the old valley, Riding through the sacred woods, the ancient sanctuary where lay, dead, our old gods... On our way we found the trace of the evil invasion Strange animals ran around us - nature's perversion And their tormented eyes... Balance was broken between darkness and light Life was corrupted by an evil might The earth was screaming, full of deep pain And we heeded her call across the mountains... Holy forest, crying our names Mighty and brave, we have heard your call For the salvation of our beloved lands The dark reign of evil will now fall! The sacred flame of life won't fade smothered by Algoth's claw As ancient prophecies said, four warriors will crush the foe And I know we are the Ones! Balance was broken between darkness and light Life was corrupted by an evil might The earth was screaming, full of deep pain And we heeded her call across the mountains... Holy forest, crying our names Mighty and brave, we have heard your call For the salvation of our beloved lands The dark reign of evil will now fall! 4.Light And Shade (5:23) Old warriors in the ground, lying without a sound, dead by the sword in this wide plain Soon they began to rise; in the night cold as ice were standing those who had been slain... Undead hordes rising up in pain, and soon they would be crushed again... Mighty warriors of light, behind us darkness will fade! We will chase you through the night, and you will die by our blades! Engaged by the undead - but the Lord of the Shade suddenly appeared in our light Algoth was hiding near, in his eyes, a flash of fear as he ran away in the night His treacherous assault had failed, and now the Children would prevail... Mighty warriors of light, behind us darkness will fade! We will chase you through the night, and you will die by our blades! Dark wizard, black warrior, hear the Wrath of (the) Saviours Fear our swords, fear our hands for soon your race will end You, servant of gloom, you'll run to your doom And we swear we'll find you to take you to Hell! 5.Heroes Of The Last Chance (7:01) Day turned to night so long ago, our weariness had begun to show We had to find a place to stop for the night A village small was waiting near People dreaming dreams full of fear until wiped away by rays of the light... So pale and sad was the look on their face, living in this grim and forbidding place Disturbing news from the fields not far away Was rumoured, there a black fire burned Unnatural storms, some did not return after work had ended for the day We would have to go and investigate, even if it meant riding to our fate... We're the Heroes of the last chance, riders of the night Against terror and violence, we will forever fight. With our fists raised high into the air we'll ride to the battlefield So we know this bloody nightmare will end, destroyed by our steel. 6.Face The Storm (7:48) "Lord of this kingdom, hold back those fiends Dark hordes are coming to damn our souls Through raging thunder on (the) battlefield, Glory awaits those who will face the storm..." As soon as we could see the first light of dawn, we left the old village, silent and alone We rode through the valley, in the endless fields, searching for the evil lord But soon black clouds covered the blue morning sky, hail started to fall, dead leaves began to fly An evil presence was about to reveal: we grabbed the hilts of our swords... Signs of evil we had seen Mighty and brave we had been Finally we had found our fate Then appeared before us a mighty Demon, this nightmare's being the bastard had summoned Surrounded by lightning, trapped and alone, we would be victorious or dead! We fought hard and long, wielding our holy blades, but so tough and strong was this lord of the Shade This merciless battle was wearing us down Our strength had begun to fade... Signs of evil we had seen Mighty and brave we had been Finally we had found our fate "Fight for your lost cause, poor stupid men... Your heads will be shown throughout the land! Algoth the Great will come, take you to hell" But we are the Warriors of the Prophecy and your death is our destiny; you can't prevent our victory! 7.The Warrior's Tears (3:46) Our last days were closing in, this battle we couldn't win But you sacrificed yourself for us Now you're high and far away, in my soul I hear you say: "May you now become victorious!" Lord of the dark, you'll have to pay Angry we come, you will no longer see the day Our brother died, now comes your turn and in the flames of Hell you will forever burn 8.Children Of The Rising Sun (13:16) "Gods of the Sky, I call your names as the holy war would be lost if we failed Hear all those cries all over the land And please bestow on us the power to prevail! For the dark lord is near, our destiny is now clear: we will face the fiends as the prophecies said, and tomorrow, Algoth will be dead!" Master of hell, we won't forget your reign of terror destroying the land Young blood was spilled, demons were sent Children slain crying in their mothers' hands Tyrannic reign - you made us fall, your blade of black steel beheading the brave But now we'll come, your head will roll! In the town of Khera will stand your grave... Legions of steel, the day has come to raise your swords again For the brave hearts who fell in the night have not died in vain... Gathering hidden in the frozen night, the warriors have heard our call Ready to ride where fires are burning bright, into the camp of Algoth... Lighting our steel, the moon begins to rise as we start marching ahead Soon our holy swords will shatter the skies and the dark lord will be dead! We're the Children of the Rising Sun, holy defenders of divine light For our brothers, our land, we'll stop your deadly hand and against your legions we will fight! "They went away, fading from sight Leading their men into the night Inside their hearts was creeping fear This time they knew their fate was near And soon voices started to ring, mighty warchants (and) agony screams They charged into the crimson tide And where shade reigned, they brought back light" We will fight until the end!!! Cutting and thrusting through the hellish flood, we forced out our deadly path Steel meeting steel in a flow of black blood, outburst of fury and wrath Trampling the bodies of those who were killed, the demons are tasting our blades The darkest prophecies are from now fulfilled, the grand battle of Light and Shade... We're the Children of the Rising Sun, holy defenders of divine light For our brothers, our land, we'll stop your deadly hand and against your legions we will fight! - Epilogue - Into this bloody night, with their swords in their hands the Children led their men towards their destiny; walking mighty and proud, honouring their legend, they fought with burning rage, and won their liberty.
