It's the time of the year
Everyone fears
When the sea is rising high
When old secrets
From out of the depth
Awaken to demand their rights
The moon is pale
The waves crush
It's time for the sacrifice
A child pure
Free from sin
A life in peace has its price
The mayors daughter
Is the chosen one
They kidnapped her in the night
Once a loving father
Now enslaved by terror
Abandoning his most beloved
The moon is pale
The waves crush
It's time for the sacrifice
The girl caught
Bound to a rock
In trade for our lifes
Invocation
Desecration
The villagers
Await their idol
A beast from forgotten times
Long ago the elders
Made a pact
Practicing pagan rites
They cut the girl
Her blood runs
Mixing her life with the sea
A hideous chant
A choir of the damned
Renewing their evil creed
Invocation
Desecration
The surface cracks
The water rages
Blackness drains her
Blood out
A giant beast
Is elevating
The heathens chants
Deafening loud
The girl is screaming
Life is fading
Tentacles are reaching out
The worhsippers
Bow their heads
Another year is safe now

Blood on Ice

They sealed their fate
When they crossed the poles gate
Endless white and hunger
Soon the first will be six feet under
In a desert of bonechilling cold
Two rivals fight for glory
Determined to risk their lifes
Marching on against the bitter gale,
There is no time to waste
Who could bear the winners face
Sacrifice
Under the midnight sun
Blood on ice
Towards the unknown
Frozen limbs and vanished strength
He will leave the protective tent
I will go out into the storm
To rescue those who are forlorn
Sacrifice
Under the midnight sun
Blood on ice
Towards the unknown

Dead or Alive

They killed, I'm a killer too
One small difference, I'm allowed to do
They help me to earn my living
I am taking, you are giving
The stagecoach has been robbed at night
To one dared to put up a fight
Now you're dead, on your head a bounty
If you're smart, you'll leave the country
Dead or Alive
Spit is mixing with dust on the road
Blood runs out of his throat
One chop, a sack for his head
One done, a lot ahead
Dead or Alive
Forgive me father I have sinned countless times
But someone has to make them pay for their crimes
It may be true that it is wrong what I do
But the one that drives me killing is noone else than you
If you dont bring justice on earth someone has to serve it
I only bring death to bad guys that deserve it
Enough of the praying I will execute your will
I feel glorious, I am ready for the kill
DEAD OR ALIVE

Fire
Fire from the sky
Purge me
Burn my sins and sanctify
Black Flames
Devour me from below
I am but fuel
Burn me hollow
No place
In heaven
A demon beyond redemption
No place
In hell
Outcast for my foolish pretension
Save my soul
Messiah of steel
As above
So below
No god to kneel
My saviour is born of steel
Give me thunder
Give me blood and rain
Hail the master
The master of the battle slain
A loyal servant
Of the razorblade
In the coven
Warrior of the steel brigade
Save my Soul
Messiah of Steel
As above
So below
No god to kneel
My saviour is born of steel
Inject me steel
Right into my veins
Give me power
Adrenaline and ecstasy
My place
Is here
A demon beyond redemption
I live
For Steel
Salvation beyond comprehension
Save my soul
Messiah of steel
As above
So below
No god to kneel
My saviour is born of steel

Dead and Gone

In the saddle one more time
Another bounty to collect
The sun is hot my throat is dry
My body feels numb and wrecked
Suddenly my horse collapses
No water for two straight days
Now i have to walk my way
My time is ticking, death race
I
I gaze up to the sky
The burning sun i see
Will death of thirst be my destiny
I see a shack on the horizon
Who might be living out here
I have no choice, there must be water
Otherwise my end is clear
The sun goes down as I arrive
An old hag waits at the door
She points up her wrinkly finger
And croaks in a sickening voice
Now
Look up to the sky
Tell me what you see
I can read the signs of destiny
Nothing in life will remain unatoned
One day I'll be dead and gone
With no exception all will pay their price
One day i'll be dead and gone
I break down at her doorstep
She drags me in her shady hut
She feeds me and gives me water
After that shes speaking up
Let me tell what is foretold
What I read in the stars
Soon your body will be cold
Your life will fade into the dark
You thought you did gods work
You're a cold blooded murderer
Death is what you bring
You shall be torn apart
God please, what have i done
I thought i was your instrument
Am I not your tool of justice
Is my death now imminent
Now
I gaze up to the sky
I know now what I see
Black and dark is my destiny
Nothing in life will remain unatoned
One day I'll be dead and gone
With no exception all will pay their price
Today day I'll be dead and gone

We are the Night (Bonus)

For every army of light
There has an evil side to be
A threatening power
Anti humanity
Good fighting bad
Repentence versus sin
Every righteous person has a darkness within
Your on the edge
Just one step
You feel the dark
Bursting out
Lose control
Bleeding soul
Fading Light
Embrace the night
Prisoners are for the weak
We kill on sight
Ambassadors of the dark
We strike with might
We are the night
Conscious again
You rethink what happened here
A trail of devastation
Nothing left to repair
But we have survived
We made it through
We are possessed by the same darkness as you
The dark instincts
Are calling us
Join the pact
Burn the cross
Lose control
Bleeding soul
Fading Light
Embrace the night
Survival is the key
No matter what the cost
Embrace the darkness
When all hope is lost
Bathe in life
bathe in sin
reborn as a child of the darkness within
The dark instincts
you heed their call
bow to your
new emperor
Regained control
Newborn soul
Opposing light
One with the Night
Prisoners are for the weak
We kill on sight
Ambassadors of the dark
We strike with might
We are the night

Les petits gars ont trouvé leur voie, mais ont encore cette agilité dans le style qui fait la richesse de cet album : allez comparer Enhammered et Ebon Star, ces chansons n'ont rien à voir, et pourtant on trouve la même patte dans la musique. Ils ont le feu !

I had to get used to the very strong greek accent of the vocalist. But everything else - riffs, melodies, lyrics, the overall sound- is pure gold to the Manowar-Worshipper. In fact, you have to go back lots of years to find equally fine material from the fallen kings of metal

Antioch III: Wings and Warlocks
by Antioch
supported by 6 fans who also own “Dead or Alive”
Bon, même si c'est un peu cliché à dire, ce deuxième album est plus mature et recherché que le premier, totalement concentré sur ce style de heavy qui leur est propre, et un peu moins kitsch, mais avec quelques soupçons d'épique par-ci par-là (notamment Godbreaker) On en vient juste à regretter l'indisponibilité des paroles qui empêche de savourer intégralement la musique.
