LYRICS:
****************************************************************
Face me evil bastard, smell the hate of angels
Glory, pride and bloodshed.
Cowards and beholders, rapers of my wisdom
Mix of dust and bones.
Go back to your abyss, Algalord will nor fall
But your heads will soon roll.
Test the blade of heroes, fury of the thunder
Hit my golden shield.
SO WE'LL FIGHT AGAINST THE WIND FOR THE GLORY OF THE KING
TO DEFEAT THE EVIL ENEMIES
AND WE'LL RIDE WITH OUR LORD FOR THE POWER AND THE THRONE
IN THE NAME OF HOLY THUNDERFORCE
Arwald and Aresius with the nordic warrior
On their way to Hargor.
Chaos and oblivion, turmoil and disorder
Will have now their name.
The last fallen heroes will defeat your forces
Thousand spirits calling.
On the furthest mountain I will see your fire
Quenched by holy frost!
SO WE'LL FIGHT AGAINST THE WIND FOR THE GLORY OF THE KING
TO DEFEAT THE EVIL ENEMIES
AND WE'LL RIDE WITH OUR LORD FOR THE POWER AND THE THRONE
IN THE NAME OF HOLY THUNDERFORCE
Face me evil bastard, smell the hate of angels
Glory, pride and bloodshed.
Cowards and beholders, rapers of my wisdom
Mix of dust and bones.
Go back to your abyss, Algalord will nor fall
But your heads will soon roll.
Test the blade of heroes, fury of the thunder
Hit my golden shield.
SO WE'LL FIGHT AGAINST THE WIND FOR THE GLORY OF THE KING
TO DEFEAT THE EVIL ENEMIES
AND WE'LL RIDE WITH OUR LORD FOR THE POWER AND THE THRONE
IN THE NAME OF HOLY THUNDER
SO WE'LL FIGHT AGAINST THE WIND FOR THE GLORY OF THE KING
TO DEFEAT THE EVIL ENEMIES
AND WE'LL RIDE WITH OUR LORD FOR THE POWER AND THE THRONE
IN THE NAME OF HOLY THUNDER
SO WE'LL FIGHT AGAINST THE WIND FOR THE GLORY OF THE KING
TO DEFEAT THE EVIL ENEMIES
AND WE'LL RIDE WITH OUR LORD FOR THE POWER AND THE THRONE
IN THE NAME OF HOLY THUNDERFORCE
