[Verse 1:]
Here he comes to claim the throne, the rightful heir, the old King’s son
See the Warrior arise, victory over demise

[Chorus:]
The Lion’s blood that runs in me, it’s time for you to see
The one who stands the storm alone
The rightful heir to the throne
Hammer high, towards the sky
The world shall hear the battle cry

The time is now, by strength defined, descend the Lion's bloodline
It's in my blood, my destiny
No defeat, no retreat
The Lionheart shall lead the way
Our new king will arise today

[Verse 2:]
I am here to claim my throne, with all the rights, as the old King’s son
Lead the Warriors of ice, victorious, immortalized

[Chorus:]
The Lion’s blood that runs in me, it’s time for you to see
The one who stands the storm alone
The rightful heir to the throne
Hammer high, towards the sky
The world shall hear my battle cry

The time is now, by strength defined, descend the Lion's bloodline
It's in my blood, my destiny
No defeat, no retreat
My Lionheart shall lead the way
A new king will arise today

[3rd:]
I have come to prove myself and blaze the trail of my father’s name
My charge to keep, by blood I'm bound, to conquer every battleground
Progress made, before excuse, the world is mine to rule

[Chorus:]
The Lion's blood that runs in me, it's time for you to see
That I will stand the storm alone
The rightful heir to the throne
The Lionheart will lead the way
Your new king will arise today

[Last Chorus:]
The Lion's blood that runs in me, it's time for you to see
It's in my blood, my destiny
There's no defeat, no retreat
My lionheart shall lead the way
As new king, see me rise today

I was born, with Lions blood
I was born, a Lionheart

2. All It Takes

(Music: F. Rasmusson, A. Dahlström - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

[Verse 1:]
To war, again
To face both blood and pain
Will name be told? As my bravery unfolds
Through storms of snow and ice, to fight back this demise
Undefeated to the grave, our legacy sealed on this day

[Pre1:]
I promise I'll be fine, this last fight will define
How our proud history, forever speaks of victory

[Chorus:]
With a gun held in my hand - I will defend our land
All we love, all that is ours - It is worth to fight and die for

[Spoken:]
Our enemies shall soon behold, the power of the winter’s cold

[Verse 2:]
We served and we defended
Our deeds will be remembered
When we are dead and gone, you won't forget all that we've done

[Pre 2:]
Our moral amplified, remember how we died
Let's make the history, tell of our victory

[Chorus:]
With a gun held in my hand - I will defend our land
All we love, all that is ours - It is worth to fight and die for

[Spoken:]
Our enemies shall soon behold, the power of the winter’s cold
Our vengeance will be furious, cause war is always merciless

[Acoustic:]
With a gun held in my hand - I will defend our land
All we love, all that is ours - It is worth to fight and die for
One last stand and soon we're gone, I won't be coming home
Cause our freedom's not for sale, and one day you'll hear our tale

[Stick:]
Our thousand lakes, all it takes
Our legacy, will soon be complete and there will be, no retreat

Thousand lakes, all it takes
So sing, our song! The day, when we are gone

[Pre 3:]
The moral amplified, in the snow we fought and died
Through the ages the history, will speak of victory

[Chorus:]
With a gun held in my hand, sworn to defend our land
All we love, all that is ours, it is worth to fight and die for

[Last Chorus:]
One last stand and soon we’re gone, We won't be coming home
Cause our freedom's not for sale and one day you'll hear of our tale

3. Punishment of Life

(Music: F. Rasmusson - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

[Verse 1:]
Empty and hollow, I've suffered so long
This piece is too tragic, wish I could be strong
But the void inside me grows
With, each, breath

For everything that must come to an end
For all of you who've been through the same
For the life that we made, then somehow just lost
There is no return.... We're dying

[Chorus:]
There is no point in asking me why
The ghost of your past is here and alive
Still haunting you, until the end of time
Affecting your mind and making you blind

[Verse 2:]
Remember these words, the day when I'm gone
Here's all of my thoughts, I've written them down
Everything that I wanted to say,
But never said, to you

Left of me is an empty shell
A tragic excuse of my former self
I question my own reasons to breath and exist
I'm dying

[Chorus:]
Feeding itself from every lie
The ghost of my past is still alive
Your eyes would bleed before the truth
The dream we shared, were only mine

For the heart that broke and can't be repaired
One final scream for what lies ahead
The ghost is with me all of the time
The dream we shared, were only mine

I want you, to scream my name
Once more, before we both die
This time, I'm your, everything
Come enter the darkness, and see what I see

I am; the start and the end
I am; your life and your death
I've changed my mind, you'll suffer much more
As the punishment, of life, is yours

IS YOURS!

[Chorus:]
Feeding itself from every lie
The ghost of my past is still alive
Your eyes would bleed before the truth
The dream we shared, were only mine

For the heart that broke and can't be repaired
One final scream for what lies ahead
The ghost is with me all of the time
The dream we shared, were only mine

I want you, to scream my name
Once more, before we both die
This time, I'm your, everything
Come enter the darkness, and see what I see

I am; the start and the end
I am; your life and your death
I've changed my mind, you'll suffer much more
As the punishment, of life, is yours

4. Free Will Sacrifice (Amon Amarth cover)

• Music: Amon Amarth
• Lyrics: Amon Amarth

See them gathered on the plains now
See an army strong and vast
As long as one of us remains here
None of them will ever pass

Here they come so raise the shields high
Like wolves they show their teeth
None of us will ever yield now
To the scavengers beneath

We're outnumbered ten to one here
Still, I love the odds
We will sacrifice them one by one
Send them off to the gods

Soon we will be gone
A free will sacrifice
As free men we are born
And free we shall die

Here they come ten thousand strong
Charging up the hill
This day will be both hard and long
They move in for the kill

Hold the line don't let it break
Use your sword and spear
A glory death, for all awaits
All who knows no fear

Hordes of men they hit the shields
Like waves they break away
We face our woven destiny
And we don't fear the grave

Soon we will be gone
A free will sacrifice
As free men we are born
And free we shall die

1. The End is Mine

(Music: A. Jagfeldt - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

You have run out of reasons, to keep me in your world

And I’ve lost the will to fight it, this war cannot be won

You knew about my struggle, forced me to suffocate

You could have saved me from this, but you just walked away

I am the destruction;

Within me dwells, nothing but anger

You are my damnation;

The end is mine and I’m destined for darkness

What is my purpose? Why am I here?

Do I even matter to you?

What is my purpose? Why am I here?

Did I ever matter to you?

You left me to find, yourself

But along the way/instead

You found someone else

Tell me; do you feel regret?

Knowing that we were supposed to make it, but you stole it all from me so

Tell me, do you fear the end?

Looking back on all you could have done and everything you never did…

You could have saved me

But you walked away

You could have saved me

And yourself

I would have done, anything for you

But with fear in my eyes, I tell you goodbye

Cause you are my damnation

Overshadowed by your beauty, I fail to see the picture

The flame I saw in your eyes, was never lit by me

Just lie and tell me something and I’ll believe in you

Please tell me that I matter, I need to hear those words

You ripped my heart out, tore it, and now you’re back for more

We’re stuck, we can’t go further and so our story goes

Please come and take it all now, I’m done here anyway

Sweet final retribution, my blood is on your hands

2. Nothing Remains

(Music: A. Jagfeldt - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

I am lost; I’m ready to give in

On my knees; are you enjoying this?

Just for the chance of getting your approval

I’m crawling again;

I am yours to abuse, a pawn in your game

Bound to your words and promises

Lost in a dream; the perfection through my eyes

Denied again, I am nothing in your world

Soon; you’ll face what I am

No; no turning back

Break; out of your chains

Destroy; all and myself

All I was, is gone and buried in you

And I know I’ve lost all dignity

I’ll give you all, whatever you demand

I’m crawling again;

I am yours to abuse, a pawn in your game

Bound to your words and promises

Lost in a dream; the perfection through my eyes

Denied again, cause I am nothing in your world

Now, nothing remains

All has been erased

And whatever dream I had

Is no more, cause;

Now, everything’s gone

Shattered and destroyed

I want to leave it all

To be free and…

Not yours to abuse, won’t take part in your games

Free from your words and promises

Dead in a dream; I stood by you until the end

But now I’m gone and you are nothing in my world

Not yours to abuse…

3. Strike from the Ashes (All It Takes - Part 2)

(Music: A. Dahlström, W. Bergbacka, A. Jagfeldt - Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

They want what isn’t theirs to take

And they expect obedience

Now see them come with their demands

To give them all or face the end

They want to take, they aim to break

All that we are holding dear

So rise for what is ours to claim

Rise for our land, our heritage

We will rise up, strike from the ashes

Strike them down, fire with fire

Down on the ground, they’ll beg for mercy

As we strike again, fire with fire

We will rise up, no man commands me

Break their lines, fire with fire

Down on their knees, they will surrender

As we rise again, fire with fire

No matter what, don’t let them through

Refuse to kneel, refuse to yield

Make history remember you

And force them out of our land

Head up high, show bravery

Let’s hold our ground until the end

We march to war, we march to death

For freedom and our thousand lakes

Up from the ashes we will rise; ignore the pain

There is no other way to go, when they’re closing in on us

Onward through their fires we shall push them back to hell

Open up your eyes and face the threat, for victory or death

Death awaits them in the cold

So glorious, against all odds

And through the storms of snow and ice

Our victory is in our hands

We will rise up, strike from the ashes

Strike them down, fire with fire

Down on the ground, they’ll beg for mercy

As we strike again, fire with fire

We will rise up, no man commands me

Break their lines, fire with fire

Down on their knees, they will surrender

As we rise again, fire with fire

Ignore the pain, push on through fire

Defy their ways and remain free

One thing is clear, they’ll never win this

And we will never bow to them

We will rise up, strike from the ashes! Strike them down, fire with fire!

We will rise up, no man commands me! Break their lines, fire with fire!

Up from the ashes we will rise; ignore the pain

There is no other way to go, when they’re closing in on us

Onward through their fires we shall push them back to hell

Open up your eyes and face the threat, for victory or death

4. Bullet Ride (In Flames cover)

• Music: J. Strömblad, B. Gelotte
• Lyrics: A. Fridén

Do you feel anything at all?
Do you hear steps at the door?
Do you reckon the smell of....?
It's life-the the dark that binds you

Frightened by your own smell
Bitterness will run you through

Silent screaming
Turning, twisting the alphabet
Frantic eyes
Awaiting the answer
Splinters of a poem
Fragments of what you used to be
Habitual and gullible
Run-down memoirs is all that's left

Do you wish to sleep?
Do you aim for the shadow?
Do you feel infected?
It's life-the the dark that binds you

It's the cowardice that pulls you under
And takes you to the end, where it begins
Release, the world is waiting on your arrival
Close your eyes, as we witness another bullet ride

Do you know about atrocity?
Do you that everybody's gone?
Do you know that you're on your own?
It's life-the the dark that binds you

• Music: A. Björler, J. Björler

• Lyrics: T. Lindberg

'We are blind to the
World within us,
Waiting to be born'

I cast aside my chains
Fall from reality
Purgatory unleashed
Now burn the face of the earth
Purgatory unleashed
Now burn the face of the earth

[Chorus:]
The face of all your fears
All your fears unleashed
The face of all your fears

Born of the demon sky
Twisting reality
Sweet nauseating pain
Is death the only release?
Nauseating pain
Is death the only release?

[Chorus:]

The face of all your fears

I cast aside my chains
Fall from reality
Suicidal disease
The face of all your fears
Now covered with sores
Humanity exiled
Purgatory unleashed
Now burn the face of the earth
Purgatory unleashed
Now burn the face of the earth

[Chorus:]

2. Lost to Apathy (Dark Tranquillity cover)

• Music: M. Henriksson
• Lyrics: M. Stanne

The unsaid tone of weak despair
Fail to resonate
Frayed ends of our binding
Threads will disintegrate

By laws our physiques state
Failure to communicate

None too sentient hear no,
See no, hear works its magic
Against all function

Ongoing choices the trials will end
Filter the nonsense and laugh at what's left
Indecision / nonvision
What matters taken away

Look at the shell that is you
Empty, fragile, weak
Soon the battle is over
Lost to apathy

So overcome with pointless tears
To test pain receptors
Nothing matters ever here
Put up a nonreaction

These eyes will never see
Covered up from reality

Look at the shell that is you
Empty, fragile, weak
Soon the battle is over
Lost to apathy

The unknown world that you deny
No priority
Cannot fail if you never start
How predictable
I want to know where did it end

For madness to start
Always the skeptic and never be part
Introvertive / nondescriptive
It matters not... Not

Look at the shell that is you
Empty, fragile, weak
Soon the battle is over
Lost to apathy

Look at the shell that is you
Empty, fragile and weak
Now the battle is over
Lost to apathy

3. Of Snow and Ice - Part 3

(Music & Lyrics: W. Bergbacka)

When winter arrived, along came the war

And they brought it to us

They came from the East

Stand up and fight! Unleash all you've got!

Know in your heart that victory is ours!

Do not provoke what you cannot control
We will fight until the end, whatever it takes!
Do not demand what you can't take by force
Let that lesson be learned as your blood paints the snow!

Here they come, over the hills
Let them see in my eyes, that I'm thirsty for blood
Fire at will! A fury divine!
As they fall one by one, when our forces collide!

Do not provoke what you cannot control
These men will choose death before dishonor
Do not demand what you can't take by force
Cause what was asleep, is now wide awake!

Here they come, over the hills
They'll see in our eyes that we're thirsty for more!
Fire at will! A fury divine!
As they fall one by one, when our forces collide!

Hearts of the Lions who never gave in
We may fall in the snow, there is no turning back!
Never surrender, it's our charge to keep!
Let the history speak of this glorious day!

Through the storms
Of snow and ice!
Stand your ground!
All it takes!

Oh my love, how it hurts
To tell you that, I may not return
We've given all, yet more is to come
But I'll sacrifice all for the sake of our land!

Freedom comes, with a price
The highest cost, in the shape of our lives
But I smile when I think of the end
Cause for our land, no price is too high!

Here they come, over the hills
They'll see in our eyes that we're thirsty for more!
Fire at will! A fury divine!
As they fall one by one, when our forces collide!

Hearts of the Lions who never gave in
As we march through the snow, there is no turning back!
Never surrender, it's our charge to keep!
Let the history speak of this glorious day!
