Never Surrender
1. Never Surrender
(Title ripped from the book No Surrender by Hiroo Onoda. Lyrics are the spirit of metal. As I feel it.)
Breakin free breakin the chains
Break the spell gonna fight! Fight! Fight!
Sever all ties whatever the cost
Cos these goddamned fools are forever lost
Never return never go back
Ever forward attack! Attack! Attack!
Consuming rage for the end of the age
All sacrifice to power
Cos it's never too late to change your fate
Back in the ring, take another swing
Never gotta run nor cower
Yeah get a wolf pack that's got your back and
Never surrender, stay tight
Don't give an inch when ya know ya right
Never back down gonna fight fight fight
Maximum charge , maximum volts
Lightnin firin thunderbolts
Never return never go back
Ever forward attack! Attack! Attack!
C'mon boys, let's take'em all
Let's make the bastards bleed
Raise a fire n light the world
And hear their endless screams
Never surrender, never surrender
They lost the war but I'll win my battle
And none of us here will live forever
And I'd sooner die than live on my knees
So no remorse, no regrets and never surrender
2. Andraste
(Inspired by the Goddess of War Andraste and her kindred spirits.)
Angels of death they sound their horns
Fertilize with our seed all the Earth with warfare
Minerva our bloody defend, oh Lua we give in zeal
A sacrifice of enemy steel
Bite the bullet on fifth column snakes
It's either you or them burning at the stake
So what to do? You decide
At the end of the day we're all gonna die
Live with honour or die in shame
Die with honour or live in chains
Andraste accept our sacrifice
Hysiminai unleash your fury, unleash hell
Hail the God of War Andraste
Hail Eris
Homados
Hail Phobos
Sound the drum of war
Hail the gods...of war
Andraste hear my call
Hysiminai unleash your fury
3. Guillotine
Another grand vision
Another grand fall
One more rape for the holy cause
Another poor cunt becomes a whore
It's comin down fast in the city
Fuck'em all, big n small, fuck'em all and fuck their world
What the hell happened to my country
It's the grave or the gulag or the gutter for you and me
What the hell happened to my country
War is peace and freedom is slavery
Another new law, another new fear
Another lie made sacrosanct
Better watch out it's burnin fast
Lust for power, total control
Tighten the noose around ya neck
Ya backs against the wall
4. Pitch Black Night
Feel our rising power
A magic final force
A saviour dressed in black golden robes
A wild eyed sadist
Oh shine into the night and sing your songs
And kneel before our rising power
Hark the fools they sing
Dance within the ring
I am not mystified,
Inculcated petrified
I'm still alive
In the kingdom of the blind
The one eyed are king
By the light of the fire in the pitch black night
I felt the serpent rise
They said no words to me
I've never felt so wild alive
By the light of the fire in the pitch black night
I feel the serpent rise
And I'm bewitched by her eyes
Round and round the fire in the pitch black night
By the light of the fire
5. Mirror's Edge
I searched for a woman
But found only girls
And searched for a wise man
But found only fools
Flew the greatest heights
Suffered the greatest fall
But it's only when it's said and done
We ever see at all
Wasted days taming wolves
But I found only dogs are left in this world
We run from our shadows
Into the hands of false gods
Death plays the tune and we dance to her song
I can feel the time has come
To stop with words and take up the sword
Let heroes arise, and hear the call of the gods
Invoking the first to bring on the last
What's to come I can see in the past
Let heroes arise
To the call of the gods
For beauty and youth
And a treasure of lies
You gave up your honour, a compulsion to suicide
Surrendered ya truth and you've already died
For a man without honour has nothing left to lose
Ya sold ya soul
And you've nothing left to sell
No saving grace on your death knell
So here we stand on the edge of the mirror
On shifting sands staring at forever
And I crossed the ocean wide
Across the great divide
And heard the wolves were howling
And I watched the world go by
I stood alone too long
And saw the tide was rising
And I draped myself in black
And sung the funeral chant
And I, I bid my last farewell
Cos the way ahead
Will lead you all to hell
6. Grave Raiders
They steal our myth and lore
They rob our blood and kin
They took our temple floor
From the sovereign queen
They steal the ancient fire
On the land where we were free
They change the light of day
Rewrite history
They steal from the sky on high
On the land we all once died for
They steal the unborn child
Then praise the whore
You cannot break us, you cannot take us
You cannot break the bonds that hold us strong
You cannot fight us, c'mon and try us
Cannot break the bonds that hold us strong
They made their wise men fools
Their spirits weak
They stole their very homes
From beneath their fuckin feet
They talk of peace
Yet bring only strife
They speak of love
Through sneering teeth and a voice of spite
They steal the crowns of kings
Profane our elder dreams
They blind the light of day
Make slaves of the free
We're a different breed
And there's none like me
You cannot break the bonds that hold us strong
Spirit cannot break
7. Savage Rights
(Inspired by the people of North Sentinel island.)
Tyrants
Call on the slayer
Manic sons of fire
Violent and brave
Silent is she
That steers my path
The smiling dark brazen hordes
Oh fight savage fight!
Don't come into the light
Oh fight savage fight!
With blade in your hand
To live in your own land
Preachers
Servants of decay
From the cesspit lie
Pregnant with rage
Oh fight savage fight!
Come into the light
Oh fight savage fight!
With blade in your hand
To live in your own land
In the fires of our rage
They're finding their selves a way
And they'll give up their lives to live in their own land
Betrayers, silent hidden hands
Poison our well, knelt before graven idols
Liars, thieves of the just
In stealth they are known
By the sign of the whore
8. Rather Death
(Inspired by the saga of Magnus, elected King of Frisia, who upon the bloody completion of the removal of a false Pope was due his reward. Magnus requested no payment by way of nobility, but instead requested the right to freedom and freedom of speech for all time for all Frisians. I can't testify to the veracity of the tale, but its lesson stands regardless. Lever duad us slaav.)
Tear out the eyes of the contested Father
Blinded and exiled incite the slaughter
Removing the head by decree
Nobles quest for the See
As serpents they slide into Rome
When the Tiber is low
Fight to the impostor's den
Seen, the battle begins
As long as the wind blows, the great clouds above
Before heaven give us your word
Raise the flag on high
Death of the papal lie
Wailing, crying, dying or dead
Victory knee deep in blood
Raising the flag on the church on high
Death n confusion for the papal lie
Wailing, crying, dying or dead
Victory knee deep in blood
Magnus, great deeds are paid
For all the impostors you have slain
Yet deny nobility
None but the right to be free
For as long as the wind blows
As long as the world
As long as the heavens
None but the right to be free
For as long as the wind blows
As long as the world
As long as the heavens
None but the right to be free
Tear out the eyes of the contested Father
Blinded, exiled incite the slaughter
Removing the head by (unholy) decree
Nobles quest for the See
Silent hey slide into Rome
When the Tiber is low
Fight to the impostor's den
Soon the battle begins
No grand treasure, no honored titles
As long as the wind blows, the great clouds above
As long as the world
Freedom's toll, earned by blood and strife
Freedom's toll, rather death than slavery
9. Batavia's Graveyard
(Drawn from the tale of the wreck of the Batavia)
From winter to winter we sailed across seas
To the ends of the world and a hell unseen
A place that where few if any are saved
To an isle of the damned that would be your grave
What would unfold when Pelsaert was gone
Idle hands and God's love the Devil's work is done
And that woman you think as slave shall you follow
Is destined for sorrow and you for the gallows
T'was not long for blades were drawn
The drownings at night of woman and child
And to Cornelius an oath was sworn
To kill all the men and the women defile
And dressed in the finery of lords and kings
In the name of God my Father unleash
The rape (and the) murder (and) every wicked sin
Axed
Hacked
Battered
Drowned
All in the name of my good Lord above
So come men of iron
Men of blade, men of steel
And you men of musket and you that would kill
So fear not hell nor the preacher's word
For God has spoken and I have heard
And it is the truth, there can be no sin
There can be no wrong for our Lord is within
And if you should come to this isle of the damned
To the place where they were all hanged
If you listen you can still hear
The cry for revenge by that man Cornelius
