Lyrics[]

Outside the battle raging death upon us
No surrender, unchained and free
Insanity will lead to blind destruction
Crush the evil, the foul disease

Our final destination reborn in darkness
Watching and waiting, destroying with ease
The judgement day upon us as dawn is breaking
Mankind will fall to the spineless deceived

Fly through the storm, power of the steel
Striking with vengeance, force them to kneel
Soldiers unite, force of the world
Fight till the end, we will die by the sword

Fight on in foreign fields of mass destruction
Stand as one, no man left behind
Our final victory tonight awaits us
Slain in darkness behind the lines

Raise the dead, ride beside of me
Fallen heroes of a thousand moons
Blaze ahead, the price that they now pay
On the march to their doom

Fly through the storm, power of the steel
Striking with vengeance, force them to kneel
Soldiers unite, force of the world
Fight till the end, we will die by the sword
Fight till the end, we will die by the sword

Light the fires of freedom on the shores of endless seas
Wings of glory guide us on the path to victory
Light the fires of freedom on the shores of endless seas
Wings of glory guide us on the path to victory

Outside the battle raging death upon us
No surrender, unchained and free
Insanity will lead to blind destruction
Crush the evil, the foul disease

Fly through the storm, power of the steel
Striking with vengeance, force them to kneel
Soldiers unite, force of the world
Fight till the end, we will die by the sword
