SHIELD WALL (lyrics)
there is an enemy approaching and
there's nothing you can do now
their shps are blocking the horizon and
there's nothing you can do now
but sit and quietly prepare
while you listen to the wind now
there is an enemy approaching and
you start to feel alive now
when the morning turns red
and all my brothers are fed
to the point where I'm sure
that no ones asking for more
and the stench that I learned to love
the smell of piss, blood and alcohol
as we lock into the shield wall
if you play it well
you'll have stories you can tell
as the battle joy has come over you
as the balle horn saunds
the first elk riders mount
I've got my moon shaped shield
telling me I die if I yield
and the rust from the early wars
reminding me that I long for more
as we lock into the shield wall
a diabolical collision and
there's nothing you can do now
you've got a hightened sense of vision and
there's nothing you can do now
but dig your heels deep in the mud
and hope the flanks are gonna hold now
you put your weight behind the blow, man
and just try to stay alive now

CHARANGO MOON (lyrics)
pack my saddle, head out of town
leave my innocent childhood behind
for this task I must do on my own
a Sunday ride outside the safety zone
son, let the stars tell you where to find
your shield
and the moon be your light as we ride
charango
through the landscape, scouting as we go
for the trees drawn in the books of old
guided by the silver moonlight
as I ride, I dream that I fight
son, let the stars tell you where to find
your shield
and the moon be your light as we ride
charango
from this night it’s forever understood
that I’m just as strong as Magnorian wood
the dark turns to bright colored skies
home we ride, my shield, my elk and I
son, let the stars tell you where to find charango

MOUNT THE ELK (lyrics)
down from another time
took a while, but I scratched the surface
and what I found was unforgettable
an ancient crown peaking through the sand
but with it came a gateway to a place
for us unknown, turning time and space
and there I stood on the battlefield
a mist of grey on a field of blood
mount the elk and run
slave beneath the sun
the last to die has won
mount the elk
and as I stood and watched
the forest lines surrounding rival souls
something strange, a smell of angel-dust
the ancient scene became alive at once
the crown flew off to let the smoke reveal
an open field under a burning sun
I stood in line, ready to attack
mount the elks and prey they’ve got my back
mount the elk and run
slave beneath the sun
the last to die has won
mount the elk
songs for heroes
waiting to be sung
mount the elk and run
slave beneath the sun
the last to die has won
mount the elk and run

BLACK SECTOR HIGHWAY (lyrics)
they say that a red dragonstar shows in the morning
shows in the morning
it’s there, then it’s not only to give us a warning
dead in the morning
the face of the moon-father is all that I see now
all that I see now
I pray to the moon-mother, but she’s not here now
she won’t be here now
moons frosted with holystone in the black sector highway
set course for the dragonstar, fly the dark matter sails
the wrath of a second son is all that I feel now
all that I feel now
and the sight of a star dying is all that I need now
give it to me now
celestial cannons fire at will at the heart
space winds to a great red shift in the orbital shipyard
our bloodline of starhunters will be echoed through vast space
set course for the dragonstar, fly the dark matter sails
