1.The Sign Of Fate (2:07)

Legions from the north
came to invade our southern lands
Drawn by lust for blood and gold,
under a madman's command

Overpowered and defeated,
our wise men soon cried
Tears of despair flowing
at the sight of all who'd died

But far away, beneath crimson skies,
Four brothers stood up and swore to rise

Revenge from damnation 
Suffer in oblivion
From the scarlet flows and mourning shadows,
Freedom and life would rise again...


2.Oath Of The Brave (6:00)

Once again an evil lord was rising,
far in the north where reigned the felon kings
Innocents died by unholy hands
spreading death and fear

The call for revenge burning in our veins,
our mighty armies brought down by their men
Our people were praying for their souls,
so we took our swords and we said:

  "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!"

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.
