Music by Ari Balzar
Lyrics by Ari Balzar and Valtteri Heiskanen

Verse 1

From the shadows I will rise
Like wrath from the ancient gods
In sacred flames I will burn
Your kingdom of lies

Pre-chorus

Live in my new world or die in the old
I'll take back what is mine with fire and steel

Chorus 1

Stormborn
Born from the storm
Stormborn I am

Verse 2

Sworn to claim back the throne
My reign will prevail
I will unleash my minions
To fulfill the prophecy

Repeat Pre-chorus

Chorus 2

Stormborn
Born from the storm
Stormborn I am
Stormborn
Born from the storm
Stormborn I am

Bridge

Mother to the fiery abomination
Queen of the liberated nation
The chainbreaker

Repeat Chorus 2

Verse 1

When life is for sale
He'll come around to bargain
Paycheck for a kill
Bringing endless pain

Bird of bad weather
Bringing a loaded gun
After the wanted men
This neverending run

Chorus

Fear and wonder
Tears him asunder
Fear and wonder
Sinister thunder
And then came death

Verse 2

Emotionless avenger
Collected well-earned price
Sudden death for bastard
A shot between the eyes

Briefcase full of money
Fortune has smiled for him
Killing is his game
And it will kill him too

Bridge

Aim and shoot to kill
Make sure your target's still
Live fully and die fast
Assassin's way will last

Verse 3

Retirement in sight
Away from this nightmare
Final task ahead
No one left to spare

Picking up his gun
The ultimate way out
One last drop of blood
One last mortal shout

Repeat Chorus x 2

Verse 1

Abomination
Rises from the sands of time
Merciless predator
A son of barren wastelands

Pre-chorus 1

Terror
Torture
Get ready for the pain

Chorus

Sandstalker
Master of desert plains
Sandstalker
Defiling nomad tribes
Sandstalker
Roars loud like thunder
Sandstalker
Ferocious hunter

Verse 2

Burning desert
Consumes his helpless victims
Poisoned teeth
Grinding flesh and bone

Pre-chorus 2

Agony
Blasphemy
Your prayers are in vain

Repeat Chorus x 2

Intro

Once there was a time
When our lives were full of joy
Once we had a dream
Of a world of eternal sunshine

There was no burden
No heavy load of darker thoughts
There were no evil deeds
In the garden of innocence

A sudden twist appeared
We were drawn into darkness
A fatal addiction
Consumed us and we became...

Order of the shadows...

Verse 1

What is all this pain I'm feeling
That's torturing my body
Why have I lost my will to live
Destruction of a soul

I'm running from the daylight
I'm running from the law
Falling deeper in this hell
This will not end well

Pre-chorus

Utmost corners of your mind are dire
Realize your dreams full of fire

Chorus

We have reached our destination
No escape from this temptation
Drink a cup of crimson water
Feed on Demon's daughter

As our lives are filled with sorrow
There's no chance to see tomorrow
Our fates are bound to gallows
In order of the shadows

Verse 2

After years of imprisonment
In dungeons of despair
My memories faded away
There's nothing left of me

My thoughts are full of hatred
A maze of shattered dreams
I'm falling into madness
All that's left is sadness

Repeat Pre-chorus

Repeat Chorus x 2

Outro

We are... order of the shadows
We are... order of the shadows
We are... order of the shadows
We are... order of the shadows

Verse 1

A sad vision in my eyes
A place of peace
Turned into warfare
Nobody really cares

When did it come to this?
I am confused
Backstabbers and tyrants
Are modern day messiahs

Pre-chorus

Leave me be!
I want no part in this farce
Go to hell!
You cannot undo my scars

Chorus

The world is dying
As I'm fighting
Don't tell me
Lies about paradise

Tears are falling
Death is calling
We are full of
Lies about paradise

Verse 2

Coldness within these walls
A barren ghost town
Once a cradle of life
Remains after war

What have we learned so far?
I have no clue
Ethics and morality
Are lost in space and time

Repeat Pre-chorus

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

Mankind has reached a fragile state
Avoiding Armageddon is too late
The future is frightening and clear
Global devastation is drawing near

Repeat Chorus x 2

Verse 1

Light slowly faded away
High hopes of better days now buried and gone
Howling winds calling my name
This pitch black drifter heading toward home

Pre-chorus 1

I cannot hide from the bane
For a while been insane
So come...

Chorus

Follow me
If you see in the dark somehow
Can't you see
There's no way to save me now
One united with insanity
For me love is simply vanity
I'm far from serenity

Verse 2

I've become a human wreck
My loved ones I betrayed and led them to their graves

Pre-chorus 2

I have reached my final beacon
It's the end of black season
So please...

Repeat Chorus

Outro

I've lost
My insanity
I've found
My serenity

Verse 1

Dying lights
Fading in this fortress of torment
Blackened skies
Surrounding us in the presence of evil

Chorus

This shattered world is his to keep
Burning redemption
Sinners and saints have fallen deep
Burning redemption
He sees through our shallow lies
Burning redemption
They will die by his flaming eyes
Burning redemption

Verse 2

Flames are rising
1000 years of tyranny awaits
He is the chosen
A ruthless ruler and the god of fire

Repeat Chorus

Bridge 1

The hunt begins
Witness the rage of the beast
Fear is not an option
Confront his minions with pride

Bridge 2

When all is lost
Close your eyes and fall asleep
When you see the fire
Seek a passage to the afterlife
Destiny fulfilled
You've found your redemption

Repeat Chorus

Verse 1

Born into this cruelty and world of lies
In vain I've waited for turning tides
Help me, speak to me, oh heavenly lord
In anger and despair I grasp my sword

Pre-chorus

I will behead all the murdering bastards
This is my story untold
There is no justice for a common peasant
My future starts to unfold

Verse 2

Rebellion against superior tyranny
No one but me will shape my destiny
Tired of oppression and genocide
Blood-thirsty men stand by my side

Chorus

This is our time
We claim for justice
These are our lives
We claim for blood
This is our land
We claim for freedom

From noble imagination
To fatal destination

Verse 3

In my time I saw defeat and victory
My actions did not please authority
Betrayed and executed by my kind
Branded as a traitor I was denied

Repeat Pre-chorus

Repeat Chorus

Verse 1

What will you do when your dreams are lost
And your children are crying in fear
The government feeding us with lies
Preparing us to die with smiles on our faces

Pre-chorus

Dystopia rising from this darkness
Darkness that they choose to dwell in
Blessed be thy hate!

Chorus

Hate that feeds me in you
Fate will deceive us all
Hate when hope is lost
Hate when the pain is too much
Blessed be thy hate!

Verse 2

What is your choice
When they come kicking down the doors
How far will you go
When depression turns to aggression

Repeat Pre-chorus

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

When it's killing season
My fate is thy hate
When blood is spilled
My fate is thy hate
In your darkest hour
My fate is thy hate
Vengeance is yours
My fate is thy hate
Thus it is done
Thus it is blessed

Repeat Chorus x 2

Verse 1

I should have died that day
A deadly blade pierced my body
Wielded by a black knight
A minion of Lucifer himself

Against all odds I lived
From the gates of death I rose
Branded as the devil's child
I was banished from my home

Pre-chorus

The power of my blade is my might
Quickening will lead me to light

Chorus

Immortality
Divinity
When the gathering is done
There can be only one

Verse 2

I met a man in crimson
He claimed to be my kind
I learned the art of fencing
My powers were unleashed

The black knight returned
He took my mentor's head
Sworn to have my vengeance
I'll face him again one day

Repeat Pre-chorus

Repeat Chorus

Bridge 1

Lone stranger
Face the evil without fear
Scarred ranger
Your fate is crystal clear
Lone stranger
The guardian of light
Scarred ranger
End this all tonight
Lone stranger
You are the one they've said
Scarred ranger
Raise your blade, take his head

Bridge 2

The last man standing
The evil is defeated
Voices of a thousand souls
Chant inside his head

Falling into darkness
His strength is fading
But this is not the end
It is the beginning

He's standing on the Highlands
Gazing at a sunset
Secrets of all nations
Are one with his mind

He's the keeper of balance
A watcher in the dark
He's become a mortal man
A father to a son

There can be only one
The one to claim the prize
There can be only one
The one to endure...

Repeat Chorus x 2
