FORCE OF WILL

by POWER THEORY

supported by

barleybase This album is so great. It has melody, it has energy, and it brings it all together. Definitely rocking out this with the volume turned way up. They even work in Albion, which is just an epic tale. Every song is so catchy with killer solos. Favorite track: Spitting Fire.

teddybat IT KICKS ASS!!!!.... Perfect blend of melody and heaviness, Soaring Vocals, and Superior Musicianship!! Brutally Beautiful!!!!... A new Metal Classic!!! for fans of Iron Maiden, Classic Helloween, Iced Earth, Armored Saint, and Accept. With a vocalist reminiscent of Tate, Dickenson, John Bush, Matt Barlow, yes he's that good!!!! Favorite track: Mountain Of Death.

Pushing the limits, how far can you go? The vultures are circling again Backed in a corner, your enemies swarm So summon your power within No one can deny the challenge of life Its not if you fall but if you stand tall What matters is rising again You Make the choice to believe Now Face the fear in your mind and make your Stand Stand your ground, holding strong Cause you You’re driven on by your own sheer force of will Stay true to yourself and to all that you know The fight of your life is at hand The challenge you face is the debt that you owe So draw now your line in the sand Each one of us dies when life we deny Its not if you fall but if you stand tall What matters is not giving in Schemes of hate & jealousy Undermine true integrity Tyrants now laying siege Never ending chaos is their need We will never yield Until the lifeblood runs Crimson and free We will never kneel By our force of will We are unleashed SOLO - CA
3.	Draugr 04:22	lyrics	buy track
I am the one who haunts these frozen lands Up from the earth I rise at night An ancient power that none can withstand Shape-shifting in the northern lights Crimson visions they guide my way Set on the path from which I will not stray Crimson visions they guide my way Until the guilty pay (With blood they will pay) (In blood they have paid) Awakened I’ll do as this curse demands Brought back and now the time has come Revenge descends upon these village sands There’s nowhere they can run I’ve returned Shrouded in mist and from the underworld My vengeance burns I’ll be a blight on all who’ve done me wrong To me their souls belong SOLO - CA / BB / BOTH Those who betrayed me they fall by my hands Killed by their greed and silver lust Against my fury they don’t stand a chance Die screaming one by one The hate within consumes From the darkness of my tomb I am their end I am their doom
4.	If Forever Ends Today 04:52	lyrics	buy track
I call out your name In darkness that binds You can’t see me at all From this absence of light Now your soul’s burning bright From the other side Cold wind snaps in the sail See the ferryman rise Now see him rise! He’s coming for me You came out of the mist Where the hills meet the sky Bringing balance to life So the pain would subside Time reopened our minds To the ways of the old Now the hour is at hand And for me the bell tolls I enter the realm Where two worlds collide If forever ends today Don’t say goodbye I’ll wait by death’s door So close to your side If forever ends today I’ll be your guide SOLO - CA I’ll be there in time Don’t say goodbye, don’t say goodbye Death is not the end for you & I Don’t say goodbye, don’t say goodbye Death is not the end, it’s not goodbye
5.	Mountain Of Death 04:27	lyrics	buy track
In a dark forbidden forest Where the Mansi refuse to tread They ignored the frantic warnings Heading to their deaths instead Marching towards forbidding mountains Screaming winds tear through the sky Unaware of the horror lurking In the blackness waiting to strike FIGHT! (They try to) HIDE! (They want to) LIVE (But they will) DIE! Bodies found with savage markings In vain they ran out into the night Were they victims of Nature’s fury? Or unwilling sacrifice? Stories told of an ancient creature Who claimed the land since time unknown In the darkness uneartly howling Driven mad, never again to see home On through the burning snow Uncertain of where they go 9 souls forever frozen in time On the mountain of death they lie SOLO - BB / CA Many years since the tragic slaughter People whisper of what took place That the demon of Dyatlov Pass A nameless horror, the last they’d face The mountain of death
6.	Albion 07:20	lyrics	buy track
Another sunset as The day gives up it’s hold Gazing onward as I watch the shadows now unfold Fair wind fills my sails Towards western skies unknown Clears the mist The mist inside my soul I reflect upon the choices I have made The path I’ve walked for all this time But every warrior (But every one of us) Needs a place that they call home And the land of giants Will be mine When I close my eyes I dream I dream of better days Before the great war took it’s toll Now I’m longing to find Find where I belong As I see the raven cross the shoals White cliffs arise, last giant dies In a world beyond what is seen By everyone Now it is time to claim what is mine As I arrive upon the shores Of Albion I hear you call my name Calling my soul Across the centuries One day the Voice will call to you On that day let your heart Show you the way back home SOLO - BB / CA

WE STAND AS ONE!!! Banished from the lands of my fathers Blind chance has led me to this fate Chosen I now sail to the icy home The Northmen await With time my worth has been shown Respect has grown, hold my own In this battle I have been thrown Dark hate from a time long forgotten They come with the mist of the night Eyes clear from the fear of the horror I know I must fight One thing I ask of this world If its my time, let me die well Let me die bravely My brothers stand as one I’ll not run, I’ll fight with the courage They gave me Until the end ** SOLO - BB / CA Witness one last act of a hero Feared dead yet he rises again Hard fought, we have won But at such great cost The loss of our friend A legend born, ss we mourn (A tale none will forget) Your fire burns, songs you’ve earned And to you we raise our horns Buried as kings Of their deeds we will sing This story has ended Another begins
8.	Spitting Fire 04:41	lyrics	buy track
I am the demon I throw the gauntlet down Take your best shot if you want to take over my crown My reputation Forged in Defiance & steel Feeds off the fear you so desperately try to conceal Pipes are afire, blaze in the night White knuckle grip on the wheel Tearing around every corner With nerves of steel I am the outlaw I laugh at the rules of the road Pushing the limit until I’m about to explode Blind to the danger Feel the adrenaline flow Rush of the kill is the only indulgence I know Engine is roaring, redline approaching Tires bites into the ground Turbo is spooling, howling & screaming An unearthly sound And when the day is done Another race, another run Atop the mountain I still stand Spitting fire Cause when the smoke has cleared The legend lives, he reappears To rule the highway holy land Spitting fire Slam into 1st, dropping the clutch Lift the front end off the line Smoke from the wheels, letting them fly As I leave you behind (Eat my dust) SOLO - BB / CA I am the demon I am the outlaw I am the legend I rule the road
9.	Bringer Of Rain 04:43	lyrics	buy track
Far from the world I knew A foreign land Sun blistered flesh they whip But soon I’ll make my stand In blood & sand One day I’ll break free from these chains And take back my life Slayer of death, Bringer of rain Until the end of time (For all the ages yet to come) You will know my name The one they took from me I see her in my dreams By Rome I was betrayed But vengeance will be mine It guides my blades Until that day, I’ll bide my time Unleash my rage upon you For all the ones who live & die For your honor, pride And your lies SOLO - CA Far, far away From all I have known Bled to the edge of death I rise again, until the end I will not kneel, I will not fall A storm of blood I promise all The gods have granted me this day To live & die a slave no more
10.	Path Of Glory 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Juneau seemed so long ago Well lined with blood The rapiers, the cries Falling back now on our pride Stand there & stare As the smoke begins to rise Now you’re heading down A path of glory Don’t let it end in vain Forever falling on your Path of glory Hallowed is your name Four more raise the battle cry Up through the storm And down from the sky Bloodlines drawn across the sand Its over now But the will to survive SOLO - BOTH / CA / BOTH Stand as one from dusk to dawn Sun slowly rises On the thousands who died Mothers sons pray for the light Stand there & stare Sing the prayers of the dying Come on, stand beside me If not you’ll defy me The outcome will remain Nothing ventured Nothing gained
11.	Shadow Of Man 04:37	lyrics	buy track
Masses waiting for salvation In a world of pain & agony Witnessing the desecration By a god they pray to end their grief Its their belief Children raised without direction Unsupervised morality A generation self-entitled They look for love and then they bleed Fools try to justify Without logic they deny the truth Thats read between the lines Murder, rape & war With a smoke screen they deny the proof Thats right before our eyes In the end, the devil you know Will be right there beside you In the end, the shadow of man To ashes we fall & fade away SOLO - CA / BB Fools try to vilify Without reason to defy the truth False prophets on the rise Innocence abhorred Vigilantes everywhere conclude Self righteousness or death Civilization undermined Destroys the need to self rely No honor left, just ignorance & pride Planetary genocide Destroys the need to empathize The future’s grim, forever we divide We divide & fade away The shadow of man divides Man divides To ashes we fall, to ashes return
12.	The Hill I Die On 07:05	lyrics	buy track
Gather round now, hear my tale Hear these words and mark them well Time is fleeting, shed no tear Sing these words And know that through them I’ll live on, never gone As the funeral pyre begins to fade And they light a candle in my name I died with pride, all around My brothers surrounding me Questioning their mortality Alone I stood as I gave my life Didn’t break, didn’t run & hide With a smile I made my stand With my blood I saved this land There comes a day for all We make a choice to stand or fall Or all is lost So if this sacrifice Becomes the call to fight Then know that On this hill I’ll die The enemy comes crashing down the hill Without mercy slaughter, burn & kill Against them all I feel so small My choice has now been made Won’t leave the helpless to their fate With a solemn vow I swear Hear me Gods, receive my prayer Give me strength to conquer fear Knowing that my end is near Die - As I die - Ravens cry Take my soul to the hall up high Valkyries fly - From the sky Take my soul to the hall up high SOLO - CA Take my place, side by side The glorified

It reminds me of *good* Blind Guardian, which is one of my favorite bands (up to 2002) , so that alone would be enough. However, it would sell the band short to describe them just as "a band that sounds like BG". The album has some genuinely brilliant moments and the last song on the album, the s/t one, is one of my favorite songs of the past years, absolutely fantastic. dungeonvic

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse
