     "HAIL TO ENGLAND" 1984

     "BLOOD OF MY ENEMIES"

     Three sons have I, and they
     Ride by my side. - The fierce,
     The black, and the wicked are
     their names - we ride down my
     enemies on their half-hearted flight.
     No voice of mercy - no evangels of light.

     Mighty messengers - heathens rage
     Witness our coming - gods of the dead.
     I ride through the air -
     I laugh as I die - with powers of evil
     Dark knowledge is mine.
     The ride of the wicked.
     The 1st sin was trust. -
     Kill without warning - for blood now
     I lust.

   Chorus:
     Strong winds - magic mist
     To Asgard the Valkries fly
     High overhead - they carry the dead
     Where the blood of my enemy lies.

     Three sons have I, and they
     Ride by my side. - The fierce,
     The black, and the wicked are
     their names - we ride down my
     enemies on their half-hearted flight.
     No voice of mercy - no evangels of light.

   Chorus

     "EACH DAWN I DIE"

     Passing through the storm -
     Led by demons - walk between the
     World of men and gods -
     Cast no shadows - draw no light.
     I rape the priestess on pagans night.

     I taste the serpents poison
     On the lips of the one I love.
     She brings this gift of witchcraft.
     I wear the cat-skin-gloves.

     Apples of youth when I wrought
     Mischief, hung in a tree to rot
     In the sun. -
     Reborn in the middle of the
     Final orgy - a gift of slavery
     To the chosen one.

     Suicide Suicide don't you know
     Me - call to the Master - he will
     Come. - He will bring our
     Ressurection - cloacked in darkness -
     He has won.

     Smoke of my sacrifice. -
     Journey to the Isle of the
     Blessed. -
     Grant my soul your glory.
     At night time - I'm your guest.
     Only I know why -

     Each dawn I die.

     "KILL WITH POWER"

     Hear what's written on the wind.
     We come to kill and kill again.
     Our arrows fall like hail
     Trample on the dead. - Ride through the
     Gate of clouds - stand on the open step.

     Run beserk - spreading fear and pain.
     Black shield and weapons, black our chain.
     None can harm us - not their fire -
     Iron or steel - for we have the
     Will to power - with power we will
     Kill.

   Chorus:
     Kill with power - die die
     Kill with power - die die

     To the war god Odin you will pray.
     And the curse of weapons shall
     Remain. On the blood of all our
     Fathers - on their weapons we now
     Swear to avenge - not lament.
     Give the False ones death.

     "HAIL TO ENGLAND"

     Raise sails head for the open sea.
     With sails full of wind - our hearts
     Overflow with belief.

     The guest for the grail to England
     We sail, with our steel. We
     Bring what was lost. If
     Lives are the cost, let it be.

     Chorus:
     Strong she stands - reaching her
     Hand. Brave and Grand. On English
     Ground - we were born. Proudly
     We return. - To English shore
     Hail, hail to England -
     Hail, hail, hail.

     We march from the hills
     Down to London town. -
     Join Raise your hand - or hide
     When we ride for the crown.

     The sign of the hammer and
     The black winds blow through
     The night. Long was our wait
     Our meeting with Fate is tonight.

     Chorus

     Standing tall - one and all -
     Light the hall.
     Years have passed - I've dreamed
         of this day.
     As we raise our hands - we
         proudly say.

     "ARMY OF THE IMMORTALS"

     Battle hymns did sound the call.
     You came to our side.
     You heard true metal - into glory
     Ride.

     You stood beside us the false ones
     Cried. - Your love is judgement.
     You gave us life.

     You wait in the rain - you walk
     Through the snow. We give you
     Our blood. We want you to know.
     In our eyes your immortal -
     In our hearts you'll live forever -
     In our eyes your immortal -
     In our hearts you'll live forever.

     We have read your letters -
     We have heard your call.
     We were brought together -
     Cause we've got the balls -
     To play the loudest metal.
     So hard and so wild and mean. -
     You'll live forever we were
     Born from your belief.

     Metal makes us strong
     Together we belong - forever
     Here's your song. We want you
     To know.
     In our eyes your immortal -
     In our hearts you'll live forever -
     In our eyes your immortal
     In our hearts you'll live forevermore.

     "BLACK ARROWS"
          (Instrumental)

     "BRIDGE OF DEATH"

     Slowly crossing as the river runs below
     Never stopping for what's waiting soon will show
     And this the last time looking back I'll see
     My home for he awaits me reaching for my soul
     He calls my name, and waves me on
     The fallen one he stands in flame

     Well the life that he has given full of riches
     And sucess has a price that I made good in
     Blood to pay. And the light he now is showing
     To guide my every footstep is insurance if
     I falter on my way. And what God has now
     forsaken and man has never seen are the
     Riches of the underworld below all my
     Years of earthly pleasures gave support
     Unto the bridge I now cross it giving
     Him my soul

     Dark Lord, I summon thee demanding the
     Sacred right to burn in hell, ride up on hells
     hot wind. Face one more evil than thou, take
     My lustful soul,
     Drink my blood as I drink yours, impale me on
         the horns of death
     Cut off my head release all my evil Lucifer is king
     Praise Satan

     I know the one who waits Satan
     Is his name across the bridge of death
     There he stands in flame
     I know the one who waits Satan
     Is his name across the bridge of death
     There he stands in flame.

     He is my provider as I walk into the
     Void for eternity I give him my soul
     I shall do his bidding obey him
     Without question even walk among the living if
         I'm told

     Satan don't forsake me I wait for
     You to take me grant me wings and as
     Your messenger I'll fly
