On Steel Wings We Rise

For eons waiting in slumber lies the astral beast
Legend warns when it wakens death will be unleashed
From past battlefields angels sang to me
You must find the chosen three to claim your destiny
With weapons ready and hearts ablaze
On steel wings we rise
This is our promise
To the astral beast:
You'll meet your demise
In the jungles of the east the young rogue master lurks
Trained by his late mentor in the shadow arts since birth
Unmatched in speed and wit, no living foes are left
Now for his final trial he'll put his skills to the test
With weapons ready and hearts ablaze
On steel wings we rise
This is our promise
To the astral beast:
You'll meet your demise
The barbarian roams the western plains with nothing left
The mad king's orders led his family to their death
He swears vengeance on the king in this world and the next
Into battle he will ride until the day his heart can rest
Far in the frigid north the wizard waits alone
Scarred by the astral beast so many moons ago
Their fates remain entwined, he knows he cannot rest
To defeat the astral beast will be his final quest
With weapons ready and hearts ablaze
On steel wings we rise
This is our promise
To the astral beast:
You'll meet your demise
Prepare
Beware
Prepare
For the AFLOCKALYPSE

Warriors of Fate (intro)

For a thousand years we have fought
Every scrap earned through tooth and claw
Still our world grows dim, no longer
We will reach out and take what is ours
For we are dragon
The universe has opened its doors
The path to our salvation is clear
Go now, soar into battle
Take no prisoners, and leave no resistance

Above the city, in the blink of an eye
An evil rift pierces the sky
Beasts pour through the rip in the stars
Their eyes burn with hate, but so do ours
Send your armies, we'll never fear
Your jaws of fire, and claws of steel
Send your armies, we'll never break
We have the power inside us, we are warriors of fate
The beasts swarm in the city square
A black shadow darkens the air
We ride through smoke and flames
Banishing evil from our lands this day
Send your armies, we'll never fear
Your jaws of fire, and claws of steel
Send your armies, we'll never break
We have the power inside us, we are warriors of fate
Through the smoke we see it rise
Leviathan wings, eclipsing the sky
Sorcery coursing through its veins
The true lord of death, the bringer of pain
Dark magic begins to swell
One final chance, to disrupt the spell
Swords raised, with all our might
Now is the time, lash out and strike
Send your armies, we'll never fear
Your jaws of fire, and claws of steel
Send your armies, we'll never break
We have the power inside us, we are warriors of fate
Soaring high above the Astral Beast
My father's sword shall be unleashed
While the beast prepares magical rites
I see my chance, to end this fight
My destiny has been foretold
Embracing my fate, I dive below

Crimson Wings (intro)

Stand your ground! More coming from the left
There are too many! We can't fight them all
Careful, move back! The ground is giving way
We must retreat! Have we found him?
Here, I've got him. He is alive, but barely
Let's move
Let me tell you a story

Crimson Wings

Many moons ago, a young boy roamed alone
An orphan filled with pain, as he watched his parents slain
Victims of the beast, slaughtered in the city streets
The child's mind, haunted by the echoes of their screams
The boy cried but no one knew his name
His father's sword all that remained
The only thing that still seemed real
The bitter comfort of steel
I hold the broken pieces now
The hilt my father once held proud
The blade shattered against the astral beast
A reminder of my last defeat
This isn't how it's supposed to be
All who gave their lives
Who sacrificed
I feel this weight I cannot breathe
Their staring eyes
Witness from the skies
The crimson stains upon my wings
The beast sits upon the city like a throne
Her dark magic claiming the land as her own
Spirals of light escape, draining all life away
Our world cries out in pain
I swore, we'd never give up
Victory at any cost
But after all, it wasn't enough
Now we're forever lost
Why? How could I fail to save them in the end
Why must they die? So many fallen friends
All who gave their lives
Who sacrificed
I feel this weight I cannot breathe
Their staring eyes
Witness from the skies
The crimson stains upon my wings
Now I stand alone
And watch the horror unfold
A lonely child in the night
No one to answer his cries

Rise Again
03:26
|

I hear the land whisper
It's voice trembles with fear
Still we must forge ahead
As destiny draws near
Take my wing
Into the sky we'll soar
And we will rise again
Like the phoenix
Our hearts' flames will roar
And we will rise again
You fought alone and lost
Headstrong, like a fool
You must accept our help
To finally win this duel
Take my wing
Into the sky we'll soar
And we will rise again
Like the phoenix
Our hearts' flames will roar
And we will rise again
Although you tried you could not save them all
Still our world has yet to fall
Together we must pull against these chains
Wrap them around her neck, we'll see the beast slain
Take my wing
Into the sky we'll soar
And we will rise again
Like the phoenix
Our hearts' flames will roar
And we will rise again
Again
Heroes surround me, even in this darkened place
Determination drawn on every face
I can't defeat her on my own
This fight was never mine alone
This dragon threatens our all
Only together can we make her fall
Take my wing
Into the sky we'll soar
And we will rise again
Like the phoenix
Our hearts' flames will roar
And we will rise again
Again

Into the Fire
04:16

Around the fire I draw my runes
Symbols glowing with mystical light
We must forge weapons of magic
The only way to succeed in our fight
Yet this power comes with a price
You must offer a sacrifice
Make a choice to seal our pact
Careful now, there's no going back
Into the fire I cast, the remains of my father's sword
And with it I give the memories it holds
These visions of my parents right before their death
The love they shared until their final breath
Into the fire I cast, the emblem I wear on my chest
The symbol of the nation that I was born to lead
My people are no longer mine. Never to guide or command them
Forever forgotten in my sacred homeland
Into the fire I cast, the stone I wear round my neck
The magical prison that holds the mad king's soul in check
I release my vengeance on the mad king's life
The only recompense for my departed wife
Into the fire I cast, a single feather from my wing
Proof of a dark pact made so long ago
This power has kept me alive over the centuries
To defeat this beast, I give my immortality
We call upon the magic of this land
Please take these sacrifices from our troubled hands
We give our oath in these fields of red
Grant us the power now to avenge the dead
Four weapons rise from the fire
The key to victory
Magic instruments of war
To defeat the beast
We raise our voices as one
Our song rings through the land
Now into battle we ride
This is our final stand
Our final stand

The Final War (intro)
00:38

Ah. I can feel this land between my claws
The final whisps of magic drained
Soon all shall be safe across the rift
It would seem this night is not over
Soldiers, protect the perimeter

The Final War
04:11

With heavy heart, our eyes meet
Bringer of destruction, our city beneath your feet
The smoldering fire still yet burns
And now our anger you shall soon learn
Under the moonlight our forces clash
A battlefield painted with smoke and ash
Prepare yourself now we meet the beast
Witnessing now, our power unleashed
Enough
You think you're heroes
But there's blood on your wings
Where you see fate
All I see are puppet strings
The ones you call angels are the true enemy
In the past we fell victim to their jealousy
Our life magic is what they desired
Causing this great war to transpire
Our world was broken and left fractured
Remains of our magic were lost and scattered.
For ages now we have barely survived
Enduring until our world is revived
Now here you stand
Blocking my path
You think your motives are pure
But you're no hero
You're no savior
We fight to live, just like you
Your world is built upon our dead
We only quest for the truth
Angels plant lies inside your head
Our angels are not evil; they have protected us
They've sent you to your death, they have betrayed your trust
Don't you see, this magic holds both our lives
Yet only one world can survive
You can not save us all no matter how hard you try
One of us will meet our demise
There are no heroes in this fight
All, who gave their lives, who sacrificed
I feel this weight I cannot breathe
Their staring eyes witness from the skies
The crimson stains upon my wings
