Advance and Vanquish
Album - 27 september 2004 - Debaser id 173309

dont walk the cold and ruthless streets
they drain the life from all they meet
the servants crying underground
smelling mortal blood like hounds
as you crawl the sewer pipes
deadly sinners set to strike
as you walk around the bend
youll be dead right there where you stand
flash of iron, leather, spikes, and swords
mighty warriors with metal on their side
enemies of metal, your death is our reward
triumphant victory when you bring the steel to life
deadly sinners
victory when you bring the steel to life
crushing the light, stalking the night
deadly sinners always win
kill the tyrants endless conquest
with no mercy, straight for his heart
bloodlust will overtake anger and violence
without warning, lightning strikes in the dark
lightning strikes
flash of iron, leather, spikes, and swords
those mighty warriors with metal on their side
enemies of metal, your death is our reward
triumphant victory when you bring the steel to life
deadly sinners
victory when you bring the steel to life
ruling the night, winning the fight
taking it all right to the end
winning the night, ruling the fight
take on last step before you die
ruling the night, winning the fight
taking it to the end

a sacred pact signed in blood, two allies strong in war
to the death they will defend if an enemy comes forth
corruption rears its ugly, feeds a traitors mind
stab the back remains, to break the oath
this ancient bond of trust shattered by a fool
upon betrayal, all thoughts turn to...
revenge...revenge is a vulture
take him for everything hes got
revenge - revenge is a vulture
he wont know what he had until its lost
revenge
the stage is set, a battlefield, victory or death
valor will prevail against an insult to your name
an alliance failed, the oath remains no more
this allegiance based on trust has become war
the birds of prey shall feast on carrion
as their world cumbles
revenge - revenge is a vulture
deceivers flesh ripped off his wretched bones
revenge - revenge is a vulture
his head placed on a pike for all to see
a lesson learned for all of the usurpers to the throne
bridges burned, honour lost, forever damn his kind
forever damn his kind
victory will be ours, their treachery returned
a shallow grave awaits
forever damn his kind
a shallow grave awaits

all beware the blackened tongue
its laden heavy with lies
bleeding on the cross for the world to see
traitor, liar, thief - all will be revealed
millions caught in rapture torn inside with fear
eat the flesh and drink the blood
slave off reality for one more of the flock
your soul, it decomposes
as poisoned words seep into your mind
cryptic signs of holding evil thoughts at bay
while your sins, your sins are washed away
as fallen angels we will fight
against a king thats dead and gone
no second coming for the general of the weak
unholy wars waged upon the land
merciless wrath upon the non-believer
the blood it soaks into the soil
as your idols weep in shame
the council of heathens
has gathered to bring
an end to their own slavery
dominion of deceit will now surely fall
controlling our thoughts no more
the sheep wander blindly in the night
as the sheperd passes on the plate
the golden-tongued orator
spreads only wicked lies
ive seen the fire burning your temple
ashes and dust return to the earth
as we summon the night
and flames lick at the gates
their dominion decays and it falls
the kingdom and crusaders
their spell is weakened
the council of heathens
has gathered to bring
an end to their own slavery
dominion of deceit will now surely fall
controlling our thoughts no more
dominion of deceit
bones in the ground
controlling our thoughts no more

awaken by the terror of a thousand wars
a vision of the coming invading force
with haste he goes to the royal hall
the soothsayer alerts the king, the hour is nigh
the kings scoffs, says no, he does not believe
you must be in error, you must be deceived
my lord, they're coming, your people aren't safe
upon deaf ears fall words of fate
I hold the key to what lies beyond
you wont believe what this crystal orb does show
and in his dreams he saw
brick by brick...behold
stone by stone...our fate
wall by wall
this castle is set to burn
when the soothsayers riddles is spoken, beware of the answers it holds
i hold the key to what lies beyond
when the soothsayers words make you question, the price will be paid in blood
you wont believe what this crystal orb does show
with no more then a reason to kill
the enemy's approaching from surrounding sides
awaiting for the first strike as catapults are drawn
flaming arrows from the sky, the massacre begins
order turns to chaos, no hope to win
the tyrant is here to take up your throne
he'll take off your head before taking your crown
the mystic, he laughs, you should have listened to me
but now you beg for your life on your knees
on your knees
on your knees
when the soothsayers riddle is spoken, it could hold the outcome of war
I hold the key to what lies beyond
when the soothsayers words speak of bloodshed, just pray that the blood is not yours
you wont believe
the price paid in blood
the price paid in blood
just pray that the blood is not yours

in the year four thousand fifty five, wykydtron came to life
born of scientific design to serve all human kind
artificial intelligence bred for future war
when galaxies will crumble and fall to their knees
it breaks free from its hold taking military control
a fate seen all across the wordl
it takes hold of the earth, breeding legions to his control
soon to seize all power in the sky
programmed to crush
programmed to destroy
its brainwaves only wired for death
its wired to kill
all on the earth
nuclear bound - you'll fear his name
hey its the wykydtron
its the wykydtron
hey its the wykydtron
whoa-oh!
an army's formed to crush the earth
our creation, the master of our demise
humanity is doomer
fifteen years since creations time, the war has turned to space
human kind has once chance left to turn the tides of fate
warheads are the only way to stop The Wykydtron
millions die, radiation blast from hell
flesh, it peels away as all the people die
this is the end of the human race
our creation becomes the master of our own demise
we are drones
we fooled ourselves
we finally sealed our fate
hey its the wykydtron
its the wykydtron
hey its the wykydtron
whoa-oh!

born with shining steel in hand, fightings all you know
mastering the blade, to kill those who betray
with skill and deadly grace, severed heads erase
a wrong that has been done, only death can overcome
master of the blade, wielder of the steel
with iron fury, killer fire and speed
with his mighty sword he reaps his vengeance
coming from the depths to right a wrong
from the depths of hell
to deal his wrath
swordmaster, bounty hunter for the damned
stand and fight - kill or die
his blade is gleaming and from it blood is streaming
none shall survive beyond the light of dawn
none shall survive beyond morning light
vengeance served with cold delight, bodies split in two
bone and sinew spray for debts that come to be repaid
bloodlust in your mind, the painful truth is what theyll find
the course is at an end, to hell is where he sends you
swordmaster, bounty hunter for the damned
stand and fight - kill or die
the master moves on, keeping the balance of the world
crusher of souls and ruler of hell

kill the orcs, slay the orcs, destroy the orcs
you returned late home that night
evidence all around you from the fight
you see your familys blood spilled on the ground
theres no trace of the orcs to be found
take the broadsword in your hand
follow the orcs to their camp
you will have vengeance in blood
with their heads they will pay the price
spill blood
on their trail we hunt them tirelessly
spill blood
bloodshed eases their loss
spill their blood
their decapitation leads to the cessation
of the sadness, of the woe
spill the blood
