| 1. The Terror
[Dark Avenger]
- Here I am at the top of this hill, down in the valley clear is the view; dead bodies until the earth meets the sky, look at me with their lifeless eyes. May I ask thee Milady, if in my duties dare, why the sea of sorrow, why my Lady of Death?
[LadyDeath]

На данном альбоме представлен пауэр-металл средней степени увлекательности. Музыка группы глубоко вторична, хотя некоторые композиции слушать довольно интересно. Музыканты стараются следовать всем заданным в пауэре стандартам, и у них, в основном, это получается. Попадаются и быстрые песни, хотя большинство - среднетемповые. Вокалист несколько пискляв, хотя ему, бывает, удаётся придать своему голосу мужественность (а тематика альбома - про подвиги короля Артура, поэтому стараться-то надо, хе-хе). Ничего оригинального в альбоме нет, но время от времени слушать его можно. |

[Dark Avenger]
- The mist of time embraces my body and soul, suddenly a hand in my hand tell me to go; somebody's eyes invades my empty brain; I realize I'm living somebody's pain.
2. Tales Of Avalon
[Dark Avenger]
Bones, bones, sound of cracking bones dead eyes look at me, a rotten smell of dead bodies raises up to the sky; Brimstone smell of death tone I see She waves for them and ends a tale to be told for me the Avalon eyes. Night stood still upon this blood red hill, where brave men came to fight and to die. Some fight for a cross that hangs a Nazarene 'gainst what they faithfully call heathendom with fire and steel they sealed their destiny down in the sands right up here they had made a choice this choice had a name the name of wrath I see the druids lips being sewn without a cry earth drinks the blood of lambs in bloodshed sacrifice How come I am alone? With so many bodies by my side? They belong to Thee... I still can hear their prayers and pass by through my eyes the way they were embraced by the war some hate the sign of cross, see while they call Caeridien I see that someone runs to Avalon in the heart believes the faith will live again "Christ's no power over here" the stug will survive, we'll live it all again in the same old isle but now they are all dead She's lonely left to live and knows they'll not return She's lost into the night... they came to mountain to die their deeds resumed to dust of war will disappear eternally I'll live it all again listen, they belong to thee, LadyDeath through my eyes, won't you come? Avalon! Won't let the time forget your name Avalon! Just gimme strength to tell your tale your tale... Avalon....
3. Golden Eagles
[Dark Avenger]
- O tides of time, whose waves my eyes are unfold, waft these ships through waters only thou hold. Who art such warriors cloaked in darkened pest, and the armoured one who stands tall at the crest?
[???]
- It's Caesar who came to this land with all his greed, killing the faith, the wood and the priests; the land where the stug still ran free, spoiled by hands about to steer. The little threaten with visions in his dreams, but the roman was much too mean; his standards with winged golden eagles, were guided by the hands of a wicked seer.
[Iulius Caesar]
As the ship sails across the sea wind blows through my hair whispers words within my ears but there's a voice instead this dream comes and goes it seems a deja vu to me all the battles I have fought all the destinies my deeds will ever change will ever change? I hear voices they course my fate keep saying don't come to the land where the stug still runs free don't you come to the land! or you might repent you and your golden eagles won't succeed should I listen to this warning should I take it just for real? should I keep going forward or follow the path of my heels? so Seer, tell me more what it really means to be is the isle I have sought always in my dreams at the reach of my hands? reach of my hands? I guess when the voices will cease from saying don't come to the land where the stug still runs free.
[Old Seer]
"Oh Caesar, roman eagle why did you come to me this poor old seer?
[Iulius Caesar]
Someone is calling, call out my name
[Old Seer]
Caesar the eagle will fly again for the last time across the sea, and the isle you aspire to is the answer to your dreams; in the darkness sleepily walking all the visions in your dreams... see a bare boy running in a forest naked and horned, blindly bold; in some arms blue serpents sister and brother fall in love; in the darkness I see water and inside it one sword; thousand voices crying for revenge I see crosses, I see blood; see the White Queen's vows painfully broken by a dear friend not a foe; in the darkness I see glory I see evil I see a woman alone"
[Iulius Caesar]
March on, march on roman eagles march on cross the bridge of my thrills and make the dream come true this dream that comes and goes won't be a deja-vu again and the battles we will fight all the destinies my deeds will ever change no voices will stop our fate no matter if they say don't come to the land where the stug still runs free we are going to the land and we won't repent we are the Golden Eagles you will see we are going to your land so you will be bend to our Golden eagles you will see.
4. Heroes Of Kells
[Dark Avenger]
- Conductor whose face I can't see a glimpse, who are all those whose hands prayers are thrown atop?
[???]
- The roman eagles they were many; as much as the stars in the sky; organised like bricks in a wall, marching and killing the poor in the towns. Subjugated not vanquished at all, the Little fought 'till the last man fall; up to heavens their prayers were sent, but then there was no answer to their call. There was still a cry of revenge, leading them out to resistance; up to the last Kell fall, up to the last sand over their bodies fall..
[The Druids]
Great Spirit hear us bow down and heed to our cry, we who give you the best of our bitter lives, red drips the branches of your sacred trees, bring us a hero who makes our foes to flee. O hear our cry to sacrifice within every cry you can see them, hear them; round and round we march in mystic rite, hear the sound of trumpets through the night, O hear our cry to sacrifice within every cry you might see the, hear the heroes of the down (is there help?) heroes of the wind (is there help?) heroes of the earth, water and fire is there help? (is there help?). Take our foes let them dying deep, we who worship thee back to home sleep, we'll fall like stone as they sails away, grant us the rejoicing at the end of the day, O hear our cry to sacrifice, within every cry you might see the, hear the heroes of the down (is there help?) heroes of the wind (is there help?) heroes of the earth, water and fire is there help? (is there help?). Strike for your children strike for love and wife, strike for the holy land that kindly gave you life, we live in power, power of man, and power overall is far beyond their ken. O hear our cry to sacrifice within every cry you might see the, hear the heroes of the down (is there help?) heroes of the wind (is there help?) heroes of the earth, water and fire is there help? (is there help?).
5. Crown Of Thorns
[Dark Avenger]
- With the roman naves disembarked a rape, a risen shadow in wooden shaped, the Littles' fall on bent knees, was not the worse war injury?
[???]
- There were a pack of roman priests, to heathen faith they rose the fists, with lies and tricks worship a cross, imposing them some serious loss. Pendragon King they used to hoax, with groaning greed spoiling folks, with moaning chants rosary in hand, the Little ones ask 'till when they'll stand.
[The Roman Priests]
[Personifying Christ's last moments]
Lacerating pain sticking down into my wounded skull it hurts I raise my eyes to the sky to see the Lord but they seem so turbid by the red blood of thorns Eli, Eli why did you leave me so alone here in this cross? Upon my head I feel the heft of all their sins I've tasted the whip of their hatred on my back My arms are open wide my bones were broken down and here upon my head lies a crown of thorns I tried to make them see their eyes so blind guide them right into the hell words ain't enough to show the truth the Pharisees ask for my blood to bath the cross in the name of God see, see the end is so near there will be no more return you've thrown the dice, you've played the game satan has won you've lost your souls to whoredom My arms are open wide my bones were broken down and here upon my head lies a crown of thorns Judica me Domine et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me Quia tu es, Deus, fortitudo mea quare me repullisti, et quare tristis incedo dum affligit me inimicus? There's enough promiscuity many promises were broken they've violated thy holy name before the dark altar of satan God don't allow the heathens stain thy holy name thy holy church must prevail with pain and hate whatever it takes I swear o Lord I'll be thy hand who's gonna save their lost souls see my struggle within my heart I will prevail, I must not die grant me wash their souls away into the blood of their sins the time is short and running low satan lives like yesterday! My arms are open wide my bones were broken down and here upon my head lies a crown of thorns a crown of thorns crown of thorns.
6. Wicked Choices - Part I
[Dark Avenger]
- The hands of confusion spread stand, in the cities, in the houses and over the land; why is the King disturbed in his thought? why has the wizard so hardly wrought?
[???]
- Pendragon's lust endangered the realm, for Igraine the Queen his heart did turn, enraged the kingdom with a loony war, the siege of a castle lasts forever more. By wizard's craft he got a new face, he must posses her before his heart breaks. Transmuted in husband a figure lights the fire, deceives the queen to cease his desire. A kingdom divided in a cruel murdering, a new open door to more suffering. The price to pay was much too high, a boy taken afar a mother in cry.
7. Clas Myrddin
[Dark Avenger]
- Lo dear voyager in which hands my fate now trips, ease thy eager feet before my mood sees red, and tell about the wizard whose wondrous grip handled, the alchemy, the magic, the quick and the dead
[???]
- The first time the Wizard I was told, a fatherless born who lived alone, was going to die by tyrant command, to save with blood the collapsing land, with crafty waves and smart enchantments, slipped away from embarrassments, traced the trail for a new young king, no matter the blame for all his sins, wanted to gather in a unique sentence, the lamb in the cross and the blue serpents, will he be succeed, will he find the path? But surely will pay the aftermath.
[Merlim]
Night roaming creatures bless my path as I walk through the shadows alone some they may call me a fatherless born some mocking me down but some them soliciting me in the nightime late at nightime know the soul of things has been my quest arrow shaped a snake at the dark transmutating my heartbeat through the night I worship thee Sovereign of the sky magic power sign and song o Inspirer, Thou of life hope and joy marble walls shelter this airy tower stands supreme in the mysteries of power built by hands of a friend and a king who leads the battle onto the final cut I worship thee Sovereign of the sky magic power, sign and song o Inspirer, Thou of live hope and joy I worship thee Sovereign of the sky magic power sign and song o Inspirer, Thou of live hear my cry as I rise bless the boy with the sword bless the realm with your peace hope and joy!
8. As The Rain
[Dark Avenger]
- The night sets its veil after a gay celebration, figures hails a new king to reign a very old nation, a beast bleeds at his feet after the fierce fight, a virgin awaits for him to lay and seals at the dead of the night.
[???]
- The naive lad by wizard's hands, met the Druids to proof courage, faced the stug which guarded the herd, with naked hands claimed his heritage, the first step to rule the land, the ancient people, the little ones defend; a night of love the prize for the conqueror one stainless maid a prime honour; the dawn will spot their souls, with guilt and shame, despair and dolour.
[Naive Arthur]
A feeling, a glance, illusion nothing else but a sweet moment an instant, grain of sand not enough to justify the fault the crazy night of love I shared with you it flows as the rain your face in despair revealed in blue it fills my heart with pain the kiss, the touch the moans of love and all those sweet memories just make me cry 'cos all I need is to forget that your prime time stains my soul in blood O good Lord how should I behave in my heart don't know what to say should I live commit suicide? O good Lord won't you answer me? O good Lord how can I stand? I don't wanna be blamed I was just a child taken by the hands of insanity feel my heart lies bleeding while my body is fading now the veil is open took my sister as a lover.
9. De Profundis
[Dark Avenger]
- Why the magician is so disturbed? why those scenes of love and despair? who is this magic being who raises from waters? why all my questions still blow in the air?
[???]
- As fast as a blink of an eye the wizard rids the boy away, the amazing plan must go on, perfectly until the end of the day, meet the legendary Lady in the Lake, who holds a lost wonder which will prove the boy's royal blood, the ancients they call it by Caladvwch.
[The Lady of the Lake Teleth]
Pendragon passes now Pendragon's seed shall reign Pendragon on Pendragon's throne; a kingdom passes now a kingdom's king shall raise a kingdom for the king of kings; Much long ago with brave crafty hands, forged a mighty sword Caladvwch its name; to protect thee 'gainst all foes, forever more; see the mist is wafted away deep in magic mare I hold the sword take it son if ye have the hand.
10. Caladvwch (Original Version)
[Dark Avenger]
- A hundred knights gathers around and show themselves arrogant and proud; the sword lies stuck in a stone in vain they try to win the throne; as if it was begotten by night arises a boy to claim his right; is it a part of a secret plan? or Merlin's trick while he yet can?
[???]
- With the mighty sword held high, a new born king of Celt and Briton people, rejoice through the land the peace and the hope as child on mother's nipple; a new young blood to face the forth coming foe 'gainst all evil and tyranny, swore unite the both people and thus respect their faith, no matter if Celt or Brittany.
[The Lady of the Lake]
You climb high for miracles think you cry in vain the answer comes across the heavens a sword of justice and pain it comes to you in stormy weather a name lost in dust of time beyond the depths of the lake I bring Caladvwch to you
[King Arthur]
Since the sword brought us together we've been fighting for the throne let us pray to the heavens before the bastard plague comes Come! Like a damn dog! and taste the steel of my blade don't be afraid to be dead 'cos our lives ends in a dream our quest will live forever who will win we never know with Excalibur held high there's no return, to the evil one 'till the final act now they show no sign of mercy the army of black breaks the walls Knights of Round Table stand against the evil on my own strong! all together our faith lives endlessly this quest means that our foe killed the Great White Deer our quest must live forever to Camelot our blood with Excalibur held high there's no return to the evil one 'till the final act our quest must live forever to Camelot our blood with Excalibur held high there's no return to the evil one we'll never gonna stop I said never never!
[The Lady of the Lake]
If you're searching for the meaning of faith you'll find it in those last few words.
11. The White Of Your Skin
[Dark Avenger]
- The young king is in love to a christian devoted queen, in craving prayers she bode the conversion of the King; she begs in copious weeping bonded hands and bent knees, her lips whisper the prayers but I can't hear what it means.
[???]
- "Above the lake's waters, above the steel of a sword, above the earthly winds, above the fire above; stands a power supreme that all created in world; swear beloved husband, by this cross not by thy sword!"
[King Arthur to Gwenhwyfar]
With all the love I save for thee I swear my dear to you with all my strength before the cross I swear my love to you that a holy stream of light warms this holy prayer in every dawn guided by the hands of God enlighten you that all words all thoughts and actions which come out from me must be for thee my Queen by your side I have found the relief to all my sorrows I have found peace in the white of your skin I have found by your side the relief to all my sorrows I have found peace in the white of your skin if darkness fall within my being I beg my Lord don't let me go before the day I will return to see your face once more by your side I have found the relief to all my sorrows I have found peace in the white of your skin I have found by your side the relief to all my sorrows I have found peace in the white of your skin
12. Crownless Queen
[Dark Avenger]
- The wind in the leaves echoes a chant of sorrow and pain, the trees in the wood in woe they cry for their Lady was slain, why does he shed the blood of such important Dame, he knows the weight of his deed or he just went insane?
[???]
- Misusing the sacred objects blessed in the old ways, the King dubbed his knights with Caladvwch in a wrong way; Pendragon betrayed the kells, the kells he did disclaim, someone needed to tell him the Christ could kill the Fay, that one they used call mother, she went off in a fatal faint.
[The Wood]
Armageddon judgement day has come!
[Sir Balin]
Listeneth Lordingres this is our day, the day we've killed the whore; my axe smites the England's rest it cuts the air and roars; no crafty spells no damnation by dauntless hands I shield the nation; the hag's days are gone if it's for doing I've done! I will rise my fate with the axe of hate! and when the day has come, for you to face the truth, I'll drive my craving axe on you! Hail Pendragon Lord of the realm, Christ shall arm thee today, hell is confounded back from holly England, I see as they cower away, beyond this hell lies the salvation, no heathen hangs on our destination, the hag's days are gone if it's for doing I've done! I will rise my fate with the axe of hate! and when the day has come, for you to face the truth, I'll drive my craving axe on you! The forest cry I'm devil's son for I have ceased her heathendom, and all witchery of the hag; forgive me Christ for I have sinned, stains of blood within my being but I don't feel the stain of the blade, 'cos she deserved, Lord she deserved, to die in blood, squirm in gore, her smashed head in my hungry hands, on marble's floor so white so clear now lies a corpse in death no fear, she knew that she was coming to die!!!
[The Wood]
Armageddon judgement day has come!
13. Morgana
[Dark Avenger]
- Who is that girl in robe so white knelt in the shore along the lake? she waves her body slowly upright cries to the skies defiant and brave; conjuring with blood the four elements she struggles against the sorrow within; the old ways shall bring the punishment, with death and fire and dark sorcery?
[???]
- A naive maid in the mists of the isle, replaces in pain the Lady in her doom and summons Caeridien with a sad smile and gives the seed inside her womb; the christian king his back on her turns, and left the Lady to be killed and burned; with weapons of fate far beyond her ken the maid will fight not with weapons of men
[Morgana]
Great thunder touch my hands, mighty evil on dark wings come touch my hands, tonight, tonight I'll do my sorcery. Milady with all your wrath touch my hands, spiritual waters with spiritless souls, come and touch my hands, tonight, tonight I'll do my sorcery. We'll impale the Christians in their crosses we will drink their blood, no sign of God you'll burn on the realms of bellow; tonight wicked curse descending, tonight see the Briton Dragon bleeding, the dare they will pay with their souls, the pain for unfolding the unknown. I summon the gods of the forest and devils of the night no time to cry balance upon the blade high tonight wicked curse descending tonight see the Briton Dragon bleeding the dare they will pay with their souls the pain for unfolding the unknown I will do my sorcery tonight wicked curse descending tonight see the Briton Dragon bleeding the dare they will pay with their souls the pain for unfolding the unknown spell my name you damn Morgana.
14. The Lament - Part I
[Dark Avenger]
- Is it how things happened? Is this all the end? Are there only sorrow, despair and the pain?
[???]
- Hush! Dark Avenger, don't hurry my tale, the upcoming events will make you grow pale; there shall be blue serpents wrapped in a betrayal and a bastard child bringing forth much wail; there shall be much blood when the stug will fail and a long blind quest for a lost holy grail; there shall be a return where the sadness prevail and a hard judgement in a heart with a wale; there shall be much war many corpses in a vale; Hush dear Dark Avenger, don't hurry my tale!
