COUNTERSTRIKE


Kickstart fighter launch
throttle set to full
speed king race to win
afterburners roaring

Ghostlike counterstrike
takes them by surprise
score 307
israelis rule the heaven

Jordan attacks israel crush that
futile attempt
control jerusalem

Drive back surprise attack
take the western wall
next day make them pay
over river jordan

Syria last in line
head for golan heights
strike without a warning
see the Syrian forces falling

Syria attacked israel crushed their
lines of defence
ruling the golan heights

6 days of fire 1 day of rest
june 67 taught them respect
control jerusalem

3 nations fallen in 6 days of war
traitorous neighbours
received as deserved
under the sun in the dust of the war
1 nation standing stronger than before

First into egypt and
sent them to hell
then turned their forces to jordan
climb up the mountains
where syria awaits
break them in hours
protect holy land

ETT SLAG FARGAT ROTT


Killing Ground

At Fraustadt the Swedish forces faced
An army almost twice its size.
And on that day we showed the world not only
Our superiority in battle but also
How cruel man can be.

Frozen ground,
Ride with the wind
Emerge from the gunsmoke like demons
Rehnski

FIRESTORM


But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never
come back into being nor can the dead ever be brought
back to life

Warnings of an airstrike
The sirens scream out loud
Warning on the radio
Of what's coming
Appearing on the radar
A threat from overseas
Planes on the horizon
Cast shadows on the ground

Bringers of destruction
Are ravaging the land
Fury of the bombers
A force to reckon with
Sets the world on fire
Then turns to strike again
Flames are burning higher
The bombs keep falling

AA guns are blazing
As the sky is turning red
better run for cover
You'll be quick or be dead

Burn Burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn Burn
Death from above
Die Die
Merciless killing
Burn Burn
Death from above

Carpet bombing cities
And grinding them to dust
Able men and women
Will all be victims
Everyone will suffer
In the wake of their attack
Bombers show no mercy
A land in ruin
Homes are turned to rubble
When the airstrike has been approved
Facing their destruction
Fear the black wings of death

Burn Burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn Burn
Death from above
Die Die
Merciless killing
Burn Burn

Nothing remains
Cities ruined, turned to dust
All has been lost
Rise from the ashes and strike

AA guns are blazing
As the sky is turning red
Bend under a cover
You be quick or be dead

Burn Burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn Burn
Death from above
Die Die
Merciless killing
Burn Burn
Death from above

GLORIOUS LAND


["The Art Of War Re-Armed" bonus track]

Endless waste,
Our patience runs thin.
Here we stand ready.
Let the battle begin!

Hit back! Charge!
As the forces arrive.
Shove! Go! Push!
In the foes let collide!

Facing the storm, battered and torn,
Fighting for our Glorious Land!
Come take our hand, together we stand
Defending our Glorious Land!

Darkness falls
And the screams fade away.
Home of the fallen
And the home of the brave!

Facing the storm, battered and torn,
Fighting for our Glorious Land!
Come take our hand, together we stand
Defending our Glorious Land!

Facing the storm, battered and torn,
Fighting for our Glorious Land!
Come take our hand, together we stand
Defending our Glorious Land!

Facing the storm, battered and torn,
Fighting for our Glorious Land!
Come take our hand, together we stand
Defending our Glorious Land!

GOTT MIT UNS


God With Us

Spent the night in formation,
To the battle we marched in the dawn...
We were ready to die for our king
On the fields of Breitenfeld

Fire at will
Aim for their cannons
Counter attack
Thunder of guns

Gott mit uns
As we all stand united
All together Gott mit uns

From the old world's demise
See an empire rise
From the north reaching far
Here we are

On September the seventh
We filled their hearts with fear
Seven times they attacked on that day
Seven times they retreated

Cavalry charge
Follow that banner
After the king
Freedom we bring

Breaking their lines
Thousands of soldiers
Run for their lives
Legends arise

IN THE NAME OF GOD


Hide from the public eye, choose to appear when it suits you
claim you're just, killing woman and children
fight, when you choose to fight, hide in a cave when you're hunted
like a beast spawned from hell, utilizing fear

Chosen by God or a coward insane, stand up and show me your face!

Suicidal, in a trance, a religious army
Fight without an uniform and hide in the crowd
Call it holy, call it just, authorized by heaven
Leave your wounded as they die and call it "God's will"

Run, when it's time to pay, fear consequence of your action
reappear when you're almost forgotten
dream of a world in peace, yet you cause pain and destruction
kill your own, a response of your action

Chosen by God or a coward insane, stand up and show me your face!

Suicidal, in a trance, a religious army
Fight without an uniform and hide in the crowd
Call it holy, call it just, authorized by heaven
Leave your wounded as they die and call it "God's will"

Captured in all your lies, fear is in your eyes
Creature who has gone insane, your war is in vain
Trapped in a cage of stone, we'll destroy your home
Consequence of your action

Captured in all your lies, fear is in your eyes
Creature who has gone insane, your war is in vain
Trapped in a cage of stone, we'll destroy your home
Consequence of your action

Chosen by God or a coward insane, stand up and show me your face!

Suicidal, in a trance, a religious army
Fight without an uniform and hide in the crowd
Call it holy, call it just, authorized by heaven
Leave your wounded as they die and call it "God's will"

Sucidal, in a trance, a religious army
Fight without an uniform and hide in the crowd

INTO THE FIRE


Sent from home overseas
And into the unknown
Barely landed in the jungle
Sent on first patrol

Sundown darkness falls
Dig in for the night
Ambushed in the dawn they came
The jungle's alive

I feel my fire starts to burn
The heat controlling my mind
Berserk a savage running wild
Within me the beast starts to roar

[Chorus:]
Now I'm ready to strike
A creature of the night
Into the fire
The flame of napalm strike

Sarge's down I'm in charge
Vc's everywhere
Overrun yet order airstrike
Condemned us all to burn

Napalm from above
Burning friend and foe
Chaos on the battlefield
The jungle's on fire

This place it's driving me insane
Napalm it's burning us all
This fight no man will live to tell
Within me my blood starts to boil

[Chorus]

From above the airstrike came
And it burned the world below
Napalm falling from the sky
And it leaves no man alive

I feel my fire starts to burn
The heat controlling my mind
Napalm it's burning us alive
Within me the beasts final roar

[Chorus]

JAWBREAKER


[bonus track: Judas Priest Cover]

Deadly as the viper
Peering from its coil
The poison there is coming to the boil

Ticking like a time bomb
The fuse is running short
on the verge of snapping if it's caught

And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode -- Jawbreaker

Crouching in the corner
Wound up as a spring
Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering

Muscles are all contorted
Claws dug in the dirt
Every ounce of fiber on alert

And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode -- Jawbreaker
Jawbreaker...

And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode -- Jawbreaker

Jawbreaker
Jawbreaker
Jawbreaker...

KAROLINENS BON


The Caroleans Prayer

Far beyond their nations' borders
There's an army on the march
For religion, kng and glory
In the name of Christ their enemies chastise

Taking orders from the heavens
Through hostile fire they will march
Unaffected by the volleys
Facing death their faith will keep their fear at bay

Into battle facing the fire, Lord thy will be done
Into battle walk in a line

See the white in their eyes, Caroleans are marching on
Put their lives in God's hand for their kingdom and
fatherland
See the white in their eyes, Caroleans are marching on

Morale and discipline unites them
A common faith to keep them strong
Always on their way to heaven
In the name of Christ their enemies chastise

KONUNGENS LIKFARD


Long Live The King

Dreams are seldom shattered, by a bullet in the dark
Rulers come and rulers go, will our kingdom fall apart?

Who shall we now turn to, when our leaders lost their
heart?
Lives are lost but at what cost, will the grand dream
fall apart?

Killed by his own or by his foes, turned the tide
300 years still no one knows, the secret remains

Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long
live Carolus
Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long
live Carolus Rex

Brought him back to Sweden, where we put him in a chest
Years of war and agony, now the king can finally rest

What will be uncovered, from that cold November night
Fredrikshald, what happened there, will it ever come to
light?

For their honor
For their glory
For the men who fought and bled
A soldier from Sweden remembers the dead
